"When I went to the countryside to look for you the day before yesterday, didn't Xiao Su from the opposite side go home and tell Xiao E about this? But no matter how she tried to persuade her, Xiao E was adamant that she would not look for you again..."

Wu Gang got anxious when he heard this, "Aunt, then... is there no hope?"

"Listen to me first. It's not that Xiao'e doesn't want to find a husband. In fact, after her husband passed away, she was tricked by her brother and sister-in-law into going back to her family twice, both times to get her married.

It turned out that he deceived her twice, and the first time he sold her out directly. I heard that she was almost beaten to death by her parents."

Hearing that Wang Xiao'e was nearly beaten to death by her family, Wu Gang's heart tightened. He wondered what kind of beast would be so cruel to a woman.

"Fortunately, she was smart enough to sneak back and save her life.

She couldn't go back to her parents' home, so she ran back to her husband's home and begged them to take her in again. Her parents-in-law were kind and forgave her for the sake of the child.

Maybe it was to gain the trust of her parents-in-law, she swore in front of them that she would never marry again, and lived with them, raising her three children..."

The more Wu Gang listened, the more he felt that there was no hope. "Aunt, my family has sworn that I will never marry again in my lifetime, so... forget it."

Upon hearing this, Grandma Wang rolled her eyes at him in dismay.

"You kid, you are too honest. Isn't it because she has never met someone like you who understands her feelings? Besides, her parents-in-law strongly support their daughter-in-law to find another one.

Xiaogang, just listen to me. I promise this will work. Xiao'e will come to my house to be a nanny in the future. Come over when you have nothing to do. Get in touch with her more and let her see how good you are.

After a while, you will definitely develop feelings for her. What's more, Xiao Su and I are here to persuade her, so just go for it."

Grandma Wang's words instantly restored Wu Gang's confidence.

"Aunt, then I...I'll listen to you."

"That's right!" Grandma Wang reached out and patted Wu Gang's shoulder with satisfaction.

"Go quickly. Xiao'e is going home, so you can go and see her off. Don't be shy. Be thick-skinned. As a man, the thicker your skin, the more popular you are."

Wu Gang didn't know where his cousin got these theories, but he always listened to her.

He nodded, bent down again and took out the things in the backpack one by one.

At this time, Grandma Wang suddenly took out ten yuan from her pocket.

"Xiao Gang, your uncle and I can't always eat your food for free. Take this ten yuan, and it will be considered as our purchase."

Wu Gang was not willing to accept it. "Aunt, when I was little, if you hadn't taken me in from time to time, I would have starved to death. These little things are my filial piety to you old people. Please pack them up quickly, otherwise I won't be able to come again in the future."

Grandma Wang knew that he would not want it, so whether to take it or not is a matter of attitude.

She believed that if she showed this attitude, Wu Gang would feel more comfortable.

But she couldn't bear to always take advantage of a younger person, so as long as he and Wang Xiao'e got together, she would find a way to make it up to them from other aspects.

This is what kind people are like. Whenever they take advantage of others for even a penny, they will always remember it in their hearts and will always find a chance to return it.

After Grandma Wang put the money back into her pocket, she shouted "Come on" to Wu Gang, and the two of them walked out of the room.

Wang Xiao'e had been waiting for Grandma Wang to come out so she could say goodbye to her.

Before she could even open her mouth, Grandma Wang urged her on.

"Xiao'e, it's getting late. You two should leave quickly. There might be no more cars later."

Only then did Wang Xiao'e and Wu Gang leave the house one after another.

Except for Grandpa Wang who had a disabled leg, everyone accompanied them all the way to the gate, and only turned around and went back into the house after watching them walk away.

Grandma Wang's house and Su Wan's house are both on the street, and it's only a few steps from the back door to the road.

Wang Xiao'e was walking in front, and Wu Gang was following behind her, but only one step away.

It's only about two o'clock in the afternoon. Liu Daya usually comes again in the afternoon, around this time.

Wang Xiao'e turned around and glanced at Wu Gang, "Brother Wu, which way are you going?"

"I'm not in a hurry. I'll take you there first and then I'll go back."

"No need, Brother Wu, I know the way, just go back."

"No, I have already promised my cousin that I will take you there. I have to do what I promised. Otherwise, I will just be talking nonsense."

Wang Xiao'e suddenly felt that this man was very real. Once he made up his mind about something, no matter how much others said, it would be difficult to influence him.

So Wang Xiao'e stopped refusing. After all, this place was not far from where Liu Daya parked his ox cart, so she let him go.

In this way, the two of them walked forward, talking casually.

We arrived at the place very quickly, but we didn't see Liu Daya's ox cart.

Wang Xiao'e thought that Liu Daya might be still on the way, so she decided to stand there and wait for a while.

"I think the bullock cart will arrive soon. Brother Wu, I'll wait here for a while. Please go back. I'm sorry to have delayed you."

"Since we'll be there soon, and I have nothing else to do, I'll just stay here with you for a while."

After Wu Gang finished speaking, he looked up at the sky.

It's a little cloudy today, and the sun appears and disappears in the clouds from time to time.

Seeing that the cloud would soon pass by, even though it was winter, it was still quite comfortable as long as the sun was shining.

He took off the backpack from his back, pressed it to the ground, took out a snakeskin bag from it and laid it on top.

"Sister Xiao'e, if you are tired, just sit here for a while."

As Wu Gang was speaking, the sun suddenly broke through the clouds, and the light instantly shone down from the sky, making him feel warm.

"Sister Xiao'e, sit down and bask in the sun for a while."

Wu Gang pointed to the basket lying upside down on the ground again and asked Wang Xiaoe to sit on it.

Wang Xiao'e felt a little embarrassed and wanted to laugh.

She thought this man was really good at taking care of her, but how could she have the nerve to sit there alone?

"No need, Brother Wu, I'm not tired. If you are tired, just sit down and rest for a while."

Wu Gang had already said it twice, and seeing that Wang Xiaoe refused to sit down, he felt embarrassed to give her the seat again.

"I'm not tired either. I'll just stand for a while."

The two of them just stood there and chatted.

Wang Xiao'e has always been shy about the fact that she is a widow, so she was a little restrained when chatting with Wu Gang and did not dare to mention any private issues.

The topics they talked about were nothing more than the harvest and the weather, and later they talked about the system of contracting land to households.

This topic obviously made Wu Gang excited. He said that after the household contract responsibility system was implemented, he planned to grow vegetables and sell them in the city.

Vegetables are something that every household needs to eat. Apart from food, this vegetable has the largest market in the market.

Wu Gang became more and more excited as he spoke, and Wang Xiaoe was moved by him and even thought about giving it a try.

The two of them actually forgot the time while chatting. When Wang Xiao'e remembered, the sun had already set, but there was still no sign of Liu Daya's ox cart.
