Chapter 29: Too Beautiful, Unsettled at Home
Yu Tingwan finished sweeping the yard at dusk, and was sweating from exhaustion.
Li Lian came over at this time.
Yu Tingwan had an idea, and hurried over: "Mother-in-law, are you going to look for someone again?"
Li Lian did not beat around the bush, and said directly: "I don't have anyone suitable."
The light in Yu Tingwan's eyes faded.
She said dryly: "Then hurry up."
Li Lian: ...
"Why is there such a rush?"
"The girl next door to my mother's family is in a hurry to get married, but her wife died and she has two children. Can I introduce them to you?"
Yu Tingwan: ...
That's true.
She has no dedication and doesn't want to be a stepmother.
Li Lian: "There is another one who hasn't married yet, but he dated several girls before, but it didn't work out in the end."
Yu Tingwan became interested: "Is it the man's problem?"
Li Lian shook her head.
"Not really."
"That young man is a pretty good guy, hardworking and down-to-earth. He comes home to a widow. His mother is famous for being reasonable."
"Both mother and son are kind and generous. The last time I visited his home, I gave him a handful of melon seeds."
Yu Tingwan was moved: "Then I think..."
Before she finished speaking, Li Lian sighed: "It's just bad luck."
"The first girl I met fell into the water and died, the second girl died of illness, and the last one was about to get married and the date was set, but something happened."
Yu Tingwan said slowly: "Is that so. That person has a bad fate, and so do I. It's still fate."
Li Lian:...
She just knew it!
Yu Tingwan: "I don't believe that."
She smiled at Li Lian: "If anything really happens, I'm not afraid."
She was very confident: "It's hard to say who is unlucky."
Li Lian glared: "What are you talking about? He has a reputation for being unlucky with his wife. After those things happened, the girls around him didn't dare to talk to him."
"I know you are a girl with your own ideas. You will only say that these are just accidents. As long as the person is good, you don't care. But I dare not bring anyone to you."
Li Lian was concerned about Yu Tingwan's reputation and deliberately lowered her voice as soon as she entered the yard.
Hui Niang next door couldn't hear it, but Wei Zhao practiced martial arts and his hearing was better than that of ordinary people.
But he didn't care about other people's affairs.
Wei Zhao turned over and lay down, looking listless.
Hui Niang saw it and felt sad.
After getting along for these days, Wei Zhao seemed to have a death wish. He was not interested in anything, as if nothing would catch his eye.
If you told him to eat, he would take a few perfunctory bites. If you didn't nag him, he wouldn't even open his mouth.
Xiao Niang left, and she was afraid that A Lang would also leave her.
Next door, Yu Tingwan knew that Li Lian was thinking about her. Seeing his firm attitude, she felt bitter and resentful: "Really?"
"No."
Yu Tingwan was very sad.
"But my requirements are too high?"
Li Lian:...
No, your requirements are already very low.
In the final analysis, it is Yu Tingwan's background.
She has been running around for Yu Tingwan's affairs these days.
Li Lian's status is there, and she has always been authentic. The villagers in several nearby villages are willing to give her some face.
She said that this girl is good and can live a stable life. With her guarantee, those people are willing to believe it.
Everything was said well.
But when they heard that Yu Tingwan and Wang had broken up, they were reluctant.
Who doesn't want to become a relative of the scholar's family?
Seeing that Yu Tingwan moved out and was unwilling to make peace, and Hu Dazhu didn't come back to take his niece back, and it seemed that they would no longer have any contact, who would be willing to wade into the muddy water?
Li Lian didn't want to be too blunt, so she just said: "You are too beautiful."
Yu Tingwan understood and said softly: "You don't look like you come from a decent family. The family who wants to marry me is worried that I will not be able to settle down. Is that right?"
She didn't get angry, and asked softly: "Then did the mother-in-law come here to tell you something?"
This reminded Li Lian.
She slapped her thigh: "Look at me, talking to you about this, but forgetting the serious things."
Yu Tingwan didn't think there was anything more important than her look, and it was obvious that Li Lian's face was no longer smiling. Seeing this, the little girl thought it was a very serious matter, and couldn't help holding her breath.
Then she got a sentence.
"Your sister-in-law gave birth last night."
Yu Tingwan: ? ? ?
That's it?
"She said she fell at night and almost had a difficult birth."
"Your aunt was screaming like a ghost. I heard the noise from next door and saw that your sister-in-law was bleeding. We didn't dare to delay the midwife who came to help."
She shook her head repeatedly: "It rained so hard last night, and the road outside is not easy to walk. Your Aunt Wu is impatient and fell on the road."
When the midwife was taken to the Hu family, Aunt Wu was soaked.
"It would have been fine if your aunt didn't say thank you, but she blamed her for being slow and said that if anything happened to the child, she would find your Aunt Wu to settle the score."
Yu Tingwan: ...
It was something that Wang could do.
Li Lian: "It was a mess because they were giving birth inside. Even if your Aunt Wu was angry, it was not easy to argue with her, but she didn't stay to help."
That was also Wang's own fault.
Without Yu Tingwan to order her around, Wang had to do the work of boiling water and boiling eggs for Xiao Xu to fill her stomach and save her strength.
Li Lian was very disgusted with Wang when she talked about this.
Wang was lucky to have a son who was a scholar, otherwise why would others think highly of her.
"I heard that the fetus was unstable at the time, and the midwife was helpless. Your aunt was crying to save the baby, but fortunately your sister-in-law survived."
Yu Tingwan: ...
She felt that Xiao Xu must have been mad at Wang.
The man was not dead yet, but Wang was thinking about finding another wife for Hu Dalang.
How could Xiao Xu be happy? She was so angry that she almost died.
Li Lian revealed: "But it was a girl."
Wang saw that it was not a boy, and her face turned black, scolding Xiao Xu for being useless. She fed her well, but she gave birth to a money-losing thing!
When the midwife left, Xiao Xu still had no milk, and the child was starving, but Wang left the mother and daughter alone, did not hold the child, and let her cry, and turned back to the house.
Li Lian: "I'm telling you all this because I want to tell you that you should never go near the Hu family in the near future."
She warned: "Your aunt is confused, and there is no man in the family who can take charge. If you can hide, hide, but don't let her get the chance to vent her anger on you."
Yu Tingwan nodded: "I know."
She would only go back if she was sick.
Li Lian found something very wrong.
She talked for so long that her mouth was dry, but the little girl's reaction was too calm, without any surprise.
She didn't even ask a single question from beginning to end.
"Why don't you care about something like this?"
Yu Tingwan was stunned.
"Why should I care?"
She was puzzled: "She didn't give birth to me."
This reason was invincible.
Li Lian: "Your sister-in-law treated you badly, and now you are suffering this kind of punishment. Although it's not right, if it were me, at least I would feel happy."
Yu Tingwan didn't know what to say, she was happy in advance.
Facing Li Lian's suspicious eyes, Yu Tingwan went through the motions very seriously.
She hesitated and uttered two words.
"Ha... ha?"
