Sun Shaoyun couldn't resist his mother's nagging and had to bite the bullet and go meet the girl from the Wang family.
When Wang Xiaojuan saw Sun Shaoyun, there was a hint of disgust in her eyes.
"I heard that you also went to school, so why didn't you take the imperial examination?"
"I did go to school, but I just didn't have the talent. As for taking science? I wouldn't even dare to think about it."
"Really? Oh, that's a pity."
"Since I was little, I've always wanted someone as hardworking and talented as my cousin. Mr. Sun, do you understand what I mean?"
Wang Xiaojuan is a village beauty. She and her cousin have been good friends since childhood, and her cousin even taught her to read.
Whenever she heard her cousin reading in the house, she thought it sounded very nice, so she had always aspired to marry a man as elegant and talented as her cousin.
Sun Shaoyun was not angry, and did not say anything bad to his parents when he returned home.
"Mom, the girl wants to find a scholar, but I, your son, am not that kind of person."
"So let's be realistic and just find an ordinary girl."
"If you're really worried that your son won't be able to find a wife in the future, then he should marry Sister Wan Ge."
The village chief and his wife both opened their mouths wide.
"What did you say? You want to marry Lin Wan Ge."
Sun Shaoyun nodded sincerely.
The village head and his wife refused to agree.
"Although Wan Ge is a pitiful girl and Mother loves her very much, she does not meet Mother's requirements for a daughter-in-law."
Sun Shaoyun had no choice but to listen to his parents and not mention the matter for the time being.
At this time in Wangjia Village, Wang Qianyou and his wife were plotting against Lin Wange again.
"My dear, you will be taking the imperial examination next year, but there are still many places where you can spend money. It's hard for your parents to farm and support you in your studies. It's just that I am just a little girl and can't help you much."
Wang Qianyou held her in his arms and loved her dearly.
"As long as you serve your husband well, you will be doing a great favor."
"Oh! Husband, you are so bad!"
After the two of them sweated profusely, Sun Xiaoyan stammered:
"My dear, I heard that the Lichun Courtyard is looking for good girls recently, and they are offering ten taels of silver each."
"Xiaoyan, what do you mean?"
"Don't I have an older sister at home? My parents wanted to sell her to Lichunyuan last time, and they heard she was going to be sold for five taels of silver."
"You said that if we were to come forward, wouldn't we be able to get half of the price?"
"This way, you'll have enough money to go to college, and your parents won't have to work so hard at home."
Wang Qianyou nodded. Originally, he still wanted Lin Wange to be his concubine, but now his family really couldn't afford so much money for him to go to college.
At worst, he could redeem Lin Wan Ge when he becomes rich.
Lin Wange from Sunjia Village went up the mountain to collect herbs and happened to meet Sun Shaoyun who was also going up the mountain to chop firewood.
"Brother Shaoyun, are you here to chop wood?"
Sun Shaoyun smiled gently when he saw her.
"Sister Wan Ge, I heard that you studied pharmacology with Doctor Sun. You're amazing! Now you can even go up the mountain to collect herbs by yourself."
"No, I only know some simple herbs."
The two chatted casually.
"Brother Shaoyun heard that my aunt asked a matchmaker to find you a wife. Did it work out?"
Sun Shaoyun's face turned red.
"No, I'm just a peasant, and the girls don't like me."
Lin Wan Ge struck while the iron was hot and said with a smile:
"Really? Then Brother Shaoyun, what do you think of me?"
Sun Shaoyun obviously didn't come to his senses.
"ah…?"
"Brother Shaoyun, look, I'm sixteen years old this year. I've already reached the age of marriage. What do you think about me marrying you?"
Look how shy this boy is, his face is red all the way to his ears.
Sun Shaoyun was obviously interested in her, but remembering his parents' instructions, he could only refuse politely.
"Sister Wan Ge, I don't want to get married yet. I want to work in the restaurant for a few more years and save enough money before I get married."
Oh! I asked shamelessly, but they didn’t want to, so there was nothing I could do.
I cannot fulfill the original owner's wish and marry her to her lover on her behalf. I hope that if her spirit in heaven sees this, she will not be sad.
I will find a better man, marry him, have children with him, and live the richest and warmest life.
"Host Mr. Bai is quite good! When are we going to go find him? This system doesn't even like this dirtbag in front of me. Only you like him."
Can you speak? Why do you think you're a peasant? You can't scold someone just because they rejected you. Everyone has their own choices and preferences. You can't force others to do what you like.
"Brother Shaoyun, I was just joking with you. Don't take it to heart. You will still be my Brother Shaoyun in the future."
Sun Shaoyun also smiled.
"No, you will always be my sister."
The two of them went down the mountain together and returned to the village. As soon as they reached the end of the village, they ran into Sun Xiaoyan and her husband who were returning to her parents' home.
"Ah! Sister, I was wondering why you wouldn't marry your husband as a concubine. It turns out you've already got married."
Wang Qianyou also had an expression as if he had been cuckolded.
"You are so unfaithful to your husband. It's a good thing you didn't marry into my Wang family. Otherwise, where would I put my face now?"
Sun Shaoyun immediately spoke up to defend him.
"Sister Wan Ge has nothing to do with you. Please keep your mouth shut."
"You're still a scholar? You're so dirty-mouthed, slandering others' reputations. If you become an official in the future, you'll be a corrupt official."
Wang Qianyou was so angry that he mocked him harshly.
"Oh, so it's Sun Shaoyun, the man who couldn't even pass the imperial examination! What gives you the right to talk to me like that? In the future, I'll be an official and you'll be a commoner. Commoners don't fight officials. Don't you understand?"
The threat is obvious.
"Sister, are you going up the mountain to get pig food? What are you still standing here for? The pigs at home are starving. Be careful if you come back late or she will beat you again. Don't blame me for not speaking well for you then."
It seems that she doesn't know what happened during this period.
"Humph! Didn't your parents tell you that I've moved out of that shabby house of yours?"
"I'm the only daughter in the Lin family, so how could I have a sister? Stay away from me from now on, and don't even think about becoming related to me."
Sun Xiaoyan pulled Wang Qianyou and ran home to ask her parents what was going on.
"Be careful in the village. They might plot against you. If you have any trouble, feel free to come to me."
"Don't worry, Brother Shaoyun, I will be careful."
In the Sun family courtyard, Sun Xiaoyan learned what had happened and angrily scolded Lin Wange again.
"I didn't expect my sister to be such a person. I was thinking about the sisterly love and didn't want to treat her like this."
"Now that she's so ruthless, don't blame me, her younger sister, for being cruel to her."
Then he talked about Lichunyuan's recent plan to buy a girl.
The family discussed it and decided to tie up Lin Wan Ge and send him to town tonight.
