Chapter 927 Auntie is not a stepmother (2)
After Cao Shichu took over the original owner's memories, it was naturally impossible for her to marry into the Xun family again. That was a hell of a place. Xun Xiu was more than ten years older than the original owner and was already an old man. What's more, he was mean and ungrateful. The original owner didn't even like him, let alone Shichu herself.
As for those two ungrateful nephews, Cao Shichu had shown enough bottom line by not killing them, so she did not attack the children.
She began to think about how to get out of her current predicament and not marry into the Xun family - but Cao Yi and Cao Liu would definitely not agree, and would think of other ways to force her and would not give up until they achieved their goal.
She couldn't stay in the Cao family either. After all, if she really escaped the fate of marrying into the Xun family, she would still be controlled by Cao Yi and Cao Liu. They might sell her marriage for profit and marry her to a man of unknown character.
After thinking it over, Cao Shichu came to the conclusion that she could no longer stay in the Cao family, but she still had to think carefully about how to get rid of this identity.
Early the next morning, Cao Liu came to see Cao Shichu again: "Shichu, have you made up your mind?" She stared at Cao Shichu, fearing that she was still unwilling.
But she guessed wrong, because Cao Shichu nodded to her, smiled, and said softly: "Mom, I have made up my mind. I agree to marry my brother-in-law and take good care of my nephew and niece."
Cao Liu was immediately overjoyed and said, "That's right! It's no wonder your sister loved you so much. You are really a good child who knows how to repay kindness. Mother was right to love you..."
In fact, Cao Liushi did not love the original owner at all. The original owner had an older sister who was ten years older than her and an older brother who was eight years older than her. The older sister and brother were Cao Liushi's most beloved children. The original owner was just an accident. Even though she was the youngest, she was not valued since she was born. When Cao Liushi was pregnant with her, Cao Yi could not bear the loneliness and took in several concubines. When Cao Liushi gave birth to the children, she had to compete for favor with the concubines and take care of two older ones. So the original owner's little daughter, who indirectly caused her to lose her husband's favor, was blamed and thrown to the wet nurse and servants to take care of.
Precisely because she had no feelings for the original owner, Mrs. Cao Liu agreed to Cao Shuhui's suggestion without hesitation and let the original owner marry her brother-in-law as a consort.
If a mother really loves her children, how could she be willing to let her youngest daughter marry a man who is more than ten years older than her and who already has a son and a daughter?
This is simply because in her heart, her eldest daughter and her children are much more important than the original owner's youngest daughter. So for the sake of her eldest daughter and her two children, she is willing to sacrifice her youngest daughter's lifelong happiness.
"By the way, because we have to get married before your sister's 100-day memorial service, the time will be a bit tight. Some steps before the wedding will be omitted and the betrothal gifts will be simpler. But this does not mean that your brother-in-law's family does not value you. It's just because your sister just passed away and they are very sad. In addition, they have a newborn child who has lost his mother to take care of, so this is the case." Cao Liu explained to Cao Shichu with a guilty look on her face.
"Shichu, you have been a considerate child since childhood. You never put your family in trouble. You will definitely not mind these, right?" Cao Liu looked at Cao Shichu steadily and asked.
"Of course I don't mind. Time is so tight, so just do whatever is convenient for you." Cao Shichu really showed an "understanding" smile. Cao Liushi immediately smiled and praised, "I knew that Chu'er was considerate and kind."
But after she smiled for a moment, she remembered that her beloved eldest daughter was gone. Her smile instantly disappeared and her eyes became red again. She wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and said to Cao Shichu, "Chu'er, your sister is so pitiful. She died at such a young age, leaving behind two immature children. After you get married, you must take good care of them for your sister."
Cao Shichu naturally agreed without hesitation: "Of course, I will take good care of them, mother, don't worry! They are my nephews, blood is thicker than water, I will never let them down even if it means hurting myself!"
This is what the original owner did, burning himself to light up the three ungrateful people in the Xun family.
Cao Liu was very pleased to see that she was so sensible, and she said a lot to Cao Shichu, assuring her that she had no regrets about marrying her brother-in-law, and was willing to take care of the children and treat them as her own.
When Cao Shichu saw her working so hard to brainwash him, he found it ironic. To Cao Shuhui, the eldest daughter, she was indeed a good mother, always thinking about her, fearing that she might be inconsiderate in the slightest. But to the original owner's youngest daughter, she was a biological mother who was even worse than a stepmother.
After Cao Shichu agreed to marry Xun Xiu as his second wife, she had several days of peace and quiet, until a few days later when Cao Shuhui's funeral was held and she had to show up at Xun's house.
At the Xun family, Cao Shichu saw Xun Yiming, her nephew and Cao Shuhui's son.
Xun Yiming is already eight years old, and is old enough to understand things. He knows that his biological mother has passed away, and that he will soon have a stepmother, who will be his aunt.
Cao Shichu thought he would be somewhat repulsive to her, but unexpectedly, not only was his attitude towards her not repulsive or disgusted, but he became much closer to her. He held Cao Shichu's hand and said with relief, "Aunt, it's a relief that you are here to be the new mother for me and my sister. Both my grandmother and father said that only if you are here to be our mother, we will live a good life."
He had a pair of big, bright eyes and looked like the original owner's sister. He looked at her with a slightly flattering smile on his little face.
Cao Shichu couldn't tell at first whether what he said was true or false, but judging from his performance in the original owner's memory, it seemed more likely to be false.
A child who is only eight years old can act so realistically and never reveal his true identity in the next ten years. It is really chilling and thrilling.
But no matter how fake he is, he has nothing to do with Cao Shichu. Let someone else be Xun Yiming's stepmother in this life. I just don't know if that unlucky stepmother will treat them as her own children like the silly original owner.
"Yiming wants your aunt to be your mother?" Cao Shichu asked him with his head down.
"Of course I did!" Xun Yiming answered without hesitation, "My aunt is my mother, which is a perfect relationship."
"But I will have my own children in the future. Aren't you worried that I won't love you anymore if I have my own children?" Cao Shichu continued to ask, staring closely at his expression.
Sure enough, when he heard this question, a trace of anger flashed across Xun Yiming's face. It was obvious that this question touched the point that he was most worried about. He could not even maintain his smile, but he quickly reacted and behaved like a considerate and kind child, saying: "I'm not afraid! Auntie will not stop loving me. Even if I have new brothers and sisters, Auntie is so kind that she will definitely not be partial to them..."
