Chapter 35 I am willing to fill your hole.
It was late at night, and the moonlight was cold and dim.
Tonight, Wei Shouzhong was guarding Wei Zhao's room.
After a busy day, even though her whole body was screaming with fatigue, Hui Niang couldn't fall asleep.
What happened during the day was really beyond her expectations.
After an unknown amount of time, she got up, put on her cotton-padded clothes, and walked out.
Wei Shouzhong was also awake like her.
Hui Niang gently opened the door and called Wei Shouzhong out.
The two talked in a low voice at the door.
Hui Niang: "What are you thinking?"
Wei Shouzhong: "I know you can't sit still."
"I say the same thing. For a girl in the hands of a matchmaker, you don't have to worry about her in-laws. You should know what kind of person your stepmother's aunt is."
"Let's not talk about Wang, it's stepmother's uncle. He will come to our house in the future and accuse us of deceiving his girl. His son is a scholar and has a respectable reputation in the village. If he can get a lot of support, how much trouble will he cause?"
Hui Niang's eyes darkened.
She whispered, "But I just like stepmother more. I liked this child from the first sight."
"Those girls are good, but they can't compare with stepmother."
She is a mother. She obviously has better choices. How can she be willing to let Alang down?
"I know that this is unfair to my stepmother."
"Logically speaking, my stepmother's appearance and character are not worthy of a family like ours."
"If Alang hadn't been in trouble, I would have shamelessly come to ask for marriage, but now the family is in such a mess, how dare I think about it."
"I shouldn't have delayed her."
But my stepmother said that she wanted to marry in.
She said that she just wanted me to be her mother-in-law.
She also said that she was not afraid of being a widow, even if Alang really... in the future, she would never regret it.
What a great determination!
Hui Niang was moved and shocked.
The yard was dark, without a single light.
Wei Shouzhong suddenly asked.
"Why do you think that Stepmother suddenly wants to move out of the Hu family?"
Hui Niang affirmed: "Of course, Wang Shi has gone too far."
"But she has endured it for more than ten years. She is now at an age where she should not miss a few days."
Wei Shouzhong: "I have been thinking about it in the room just now."
"Stepmother is sure that she can make her own decision on the marriage, which shows that she does not care whether Hu Dazhu will agree or not."
Or... Even if he does not agree, Stepmother will not care.
She even wants to never contact them again.
Obviously, everything was fine before, and Stepmother was also particularly respectful to this uncle.
Wei Shouzhong looked at his wife and guessed: "Do you think... does she know what happened that year?"
————
The next day.
Yu Tingwan did not know that her self-recommendation kept the couple awake all night.
Anyway, she slept soundly.
Yu Tingwan was eager to go next door to ask.
Have they thought about it!
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Chen Po standing outside the old house and preparing to knock on the door.
Yu Tingwan frowned: "What's the matter?"
Granny Chen changed her sullen face from yesterday and smiled now.
"Miss Xun has something to say, why don't you let me in to talk."
Yu Tingwan was not surprised.
Her resistance was written on her face, without any concealment.
"Even if you come to beg me to give up, I won't agree to you."
"Since I have made a decision, I will stick to it. Unless the Wei family shakes their heads, I will not give it to others."
She blocked the door with her body: "I advise you not to make yourself miserable."
Granny Chen said hurriedly: "It's not about that."
Yu Tingwan breathed a sigh of relief and looked relaxed.
"Then I have even less to say to you."
At this moment, Granny Chen grabbed her arm.
Granny Chen looked at Yu Tingwan from head to toe without making a sound. Except for the pair of frostbitten hands, she was very satisfied with everything. Her eyes flickered.
Since she went back yesterday, she asked people about Yu Tingwan and realized that she couldn't make a living on her own, so she decided to marry into the Wei family.
Granny Chen was very confident at this moment and regarded Yu Tingwan as a cash cow.
"Girl, with such a beautiful face, why do you have to stay in a desolate mountain village?"
"I think it's a pity. After all, the health of the Wei family's Alang is so poor that I'm afraid he won't live long even if he is cured. You can't be stupid."
Yu Tingwan had a blank expression on her face. She was a cunning businessman. It turned out that she had set her sights on her.
Granny Chen saw that she didn't say anything and just thought she had heard it.
"I know you look down on me and will sell the girls to brothels, but that is their fate. It was their parents who handed them over to me."
Chen Po: "But you are different. I can't bear to let you go."
"I pity you too. I won't let you go to those mixed places. If you are willing to go with me, there will be great wealth waiting for you in the future. I will train you and dress you up. Those rich kids will all be vying for you."
She waited for Yu Tingwan to agree.
It was such a good thing, and Yu Tingwan was lucky to meet him.
Marrying into the Wei family, she would want to split every copper coin into two, worry about food, and see meat only a few times a year. But if she became a concubine of a rich family, she could eat meat every meal and wear gold and silver.
Everyone knows how to choose.
But someone rushed out from next door.
It was Hui Niang.
She had a gloomy face and the broom in her hand fell directly on Chen Po.
"You are such a heartless woman, you actually tricked a good girl into becoming someone else's concubine. What is your intention!"
How can being a concubine be easy?
The country squire Dong's family has so many concubines, and what is the fate of them all? If they are not favored, their lives are worthless, and even if they die, no one will collect their bodies.
Chen Po was hit so hard that she could only breathe in pain.
Hui Niang took Yu Tingwan's hand and led her back: "Come on, go to your aunt's house and have a seat. You must not fall into her trap. If you really go with her, you will be at the mercy of others in an unfamiliar place. What will you do as a girl?"
Chen Po was not willing to do so. Just as she was about to chase him in, she saw a young man sitting in the courtyard of the Wei family. He had his back to her, so she couldn't see his face clearly. He must be the son of the Wei family.
Considering that this was Xilin Village after all, Chen Po had made a fuss and had to leave in disgrace.
After Yu Tingwan entered the Wei family, she looked at Hui Niang with sparkling eyes.
"Wan Niang, it would be a blessing for A Lang to marry you."
"But I'm afraid you'll regret it. Life is so long..."
Yu Tingwan said seriously: "I've really thought it through."
"Okay, then I'll take it seriously."
She asked: "Have you had breakfast?"
Yu Tingwan shook her head.
"I'll go get you a bowl, and we'll talk about the rest later. I made sweet potato porridge today, which is soft, sticky and sweet."
Hui Niang entered the kitchen, and Yu Tingwan smiled.
She walked a few steps to Wei Zhao's side.
Wei Zhao slowly raised his eyes and met Yu Tingwan's eyes.
Thinking that they would be husband and wife in the future, they had to say hello, and Yu Tingwan cleared his throat.
"Are you surprised?"
Wei Zhao:...
Yu Tingwan put her hands behind her back, and she liked him: "I'm willing to fill your hole!"
