Cui Yulu completely ignored the pig-like screams of Cui Liu behind her.
Smiling broadly, she followed Granny Qian to Linshui Village.
Looking at the girl's inconsistent behavior, Granny Qian was worried that the Han family had probably miscalculated by spending only eight taels of silver to buy such a girl.
She vaguely saw that it was this girl who threw Cui Yufang out. It was rare to see such a thin little girl with such strength.
"Girl, are you cold after falling into the water?"
"It's alright, Mother-in-law, may I ask you a question?"
"sure."
"Can you really get to eat meat if you become a daughter-in-law in South Korea?"
These days, most families only get to eat meat during the Lunar New Year. They don't get to eat meat on other days. So when she heard that the Han family had meat to eat, she was naturally delighted.
Granny Qian also understood the Han family. This was because Old Mrs. Han had taken out her savings for her funeral to find a wife for her grandson. If she was lucky, he could have an heir. If she was even luckier, someone would take care of her silly grandson after she passed away.
As for eating meat at every meal, that's not true; the matchmakers' stories are always exaggerated.
However, Granny Qian naturally wouldn't tell Cui Yulu about this; she just hoped that Old Madam Han wouldn't be disappointed this time.
When Cui Yulu saw Granny Qian's unnatural expression, she understood about 70-80% of the situation. She guessed that Granny Qian couldn't eat meat every meal. But then she thought about it and realized that in those days, which family could afford to eat meat every day? Being able to eat meat once every ten days or half a month was considered a good family.
The two walked and stopped frequently, finally arriving at the Han family's house before dark.
At this time, the Han family was very quiet, showing no intention of getting married or having a wedding ceremony.
"I've brought you this wife, big sister. You can arrange the rest yourselves."
Looking at Cui Yulu's sickly appearance, Granny Qian was afraid that she would pass on her illness to her. Anyway, the person had already been brought here, and whether she lived or died depended on the Han family and the girl's fate. It had nothing to do with her.
"Thank you so much, sister."
As she spoke, Liu Xiuying took out a small purse and stuffed it into Granny Qian's hand.
Granny Qian declined a few times but eventually accepted it, and then quickly ran away from the Han family.
By this time, it was already dark, and the lights were on in the room. Only then did Liu Xiuying take a closer look at the little girl in the room.
She was rather thin and her complexion was not good; it was sallow and pale, and she looked like a girl who had suffered a lot.
Her hair was still wet; she probably jumped into the river because she was feeling down. I was afraid she wouldn't live much longer, but I didn't show it.
"Child, from today onwards you are a member of the Han family. From now on, you must call me Grandma, understand?"
At this moment, Cui Yulu felt excruciating pain all over her body, and her head was becoming increasingly dizzy. She felt lingering fear when she recalled the incident at her aunt's house.
She has never done anything so outrageous before; she probably won't be able to go home again.
A wave of sadness washed over me.
But when I looked up and saw the kind old man in front of me, I felt a strange sense of warmth.
"grandmother."
Her voice was a little dry and tinged with shyness, and her head was bowed low.
"Oh, are you hungry? Grandma has saved some good food for you."
Hearing her call her "Grandma," the old woman was delighted and got up to bring her the eggs from the kitchen.
"Eat up, this was prepared especially for you."
Cui Yulu's mouth watered at the sight of the eggs. She hadn't eaten eggs since her father passed away and had almost forgotten what they tasted like.
So when she saw the eggs, her eyes instantly welled up with tears. This grandma was so kind to her.
They even prepared eggs especially for her.
At her aunt's house, only her eldest brother was entitled to eat eggs; she could only look at them and smell them.
However, she felt embarrassed to eat it and was about to refuse when her stomach started growling loudly.
"Eat quickly, I'll get you a cloth to dry your hair so you don't get sick."
Cui Yulu stared with her big, dark eyes, still a little incredulous.
Seeing her surprised expression, Liu Xiuying smiled wryly and reached out to pat her head.
"It's all yours, eat up."
She hadn't eaten enough in the morning, and the washing of clothes had exhausted her energy. Then she walked five miles of mountain road, and she was already starving.
So I didn't hold back and ate four eggs in one go before stopping.
Seeing that she was choking and hiccuping, Liu Xiuying quickly brought her some hot porridge.
"Girl, have some porridge to calm your nerves, and go to sleep after you finish eating."
The thought that she had come here to bring good luck to someone made her feel a little disappointed. The kind old woman in front of her was probably only nice to her because she was there to save her family. If she couldn't bring good luck, would the old woman still be nice to her?
Seeing that she was staring at the bowl without moving, Liu Xiuying gently nudged her.
"Girl, are you afraid we'll treat you badly?"
She smiled and continued, "My grandson has had a hard life. He lost his mother when he was young, then his father, and later he damaged his brain and became mentally challenged. Now he has fallen into the water and is unconscious, so we are in a hurry to find a bride to bring him good luck."
But don't worry, even if he passes away in the end, we won't mistreat you or kick you out. You can stay with us and be raised as our granddaughter.
Upon hearing this, Cui Yulu's eyes immediately reddened. At her aunt's house, she had always been called a jinx and had been ostracized and abused by them.
Now, a kind-faced old woman tells her that she will take good care of herself, and she is deeply moved.
"Grandma, don't worry, your grandson will definitely be alright."
