When the uncle heard this, he whispered to Luo Lan:
"Go back to the house first."
Luo Lan's eyes were cold as she walked towards the yard. Just as she stepped into the yard, her aunt suddenly stood up like a madman, pointing her finger at her and cursing like an angry lion.
"You stupid girl, what were you doing so early in the morning? This bastard insisted that I forced you to leave, and he was afraid that you would commit suicide? Why did you come back? Why don't you just go and die?"
"Shut up!"
My uncle's voice suddenly rose. He took two quick steps to my aunt, grabbed her by the collar and yelled,
"You damn bitch, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I will strangle you to death."
"Strangle me to death, if you have the guts, strangle me to death." Aunt straightened her neck and stared at him.
The uncle was enraged by her words and he really started to strangle her neck. At this time, Chunhua and Dabao who were hiding in the house rushed over to stop him.
"Dad, what are you doing?"
"Dad, if you strangle my mother to death, what should we do?"
"Dad, let go..."
"Dad, let go..."
Uncle finally let go of his hand in frustration after Chunhua and Dabao tried to stop him. Aunt coughed hard a few times. Chunhua turned back to look at Luo Lan and glared at her coldly.
"Shui Luolan, you are a disaster. Since you came here, my father and mother often quarrel over you. Get out of this house right now."
As soon as she finished speaking, her uncle rushed over again and slapped her in the face.
"Shui Chunhua, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I will beat you to death."
Chunhua covered her face and looked at her father, gritting her teeth and roaring:
"You actually beat your own daughter for a wild child? Fine, if you want me to die, you don't have to beat me. I'll die on my own, okay?"
After saying this, she was about to hit the dilapidated earth wall. Seeing this, Dabao and his aunt hurried over to stop her.
Luo Lan watched all this, her cold eyes filled with contempt. She turned around and walked towards the woodshed.
Shui Luolan has had enough of this family. Even though she has the ability now, she doesn't want to do anything for this family without any family affection.
The yard was in a mess after she left, and her aunt's angry scolding could be heard from time to time.
"We've raised her for seventeen years, so she can't be in vain. If she doesn't want to marry into the palace, then she can marry Mr. Zhang's son from Dongtun."
"Bullshit, Mr. Zhang's son is a fool. You don't want Lan'er to be well."
"So you want to support her forever? She's a money-loser to begin with. Let me tell you this today. If you don't let her get married and earn some money for me, I'm not going to live with you anymore. I'm going to... I'm going to take Dabao and Chunhua away and leave you forever."
Listening to the angry curses outside, Luo Lan, who could no longer bear it, pushed open the door and said lightly:
"Stop arguing, I'm willing to marry into the palace."
Her words immediately quieted down her aunt, who had just been yelling. Her uncle shook his head vigorously, "No, Lan'er, don't listen to your aunt's nonsense. You can't marry that dead man."
Luo Lan only pulled the corners of his mouth and said expressionlessly, "Marrying a dead person is better than being forced to death."
Leaving these words behind, she closed the door coldly, her heart completely plummeting to the bottom at this moment.
So what if she married a dead person? Since God had sent her across time to such a coward, she might as well be a coward to the end!
She didn't cook dinner for the first time that night, and no one called her to eat. Her uncle knocked on her door before dinner.
"Lan'er..."
Her uncle was the person she could not refuse the most, so she opened the door and her uncle stood in front of her with an apologetic look on his face.
"Lan'er, uncle is sorry for you. Come, eat fish."
When my uncle said this, his eyes were already red.
Luo Lan took the rice and fish directly from his hands. This was the first time she had seen hot food in all these years. In the past, her aunt always told her uncle that she had eaten and would not let her go to the table. She also told her uncle that she ate directly in the kitchen after cooking, so her uncle didn't know that she had been eating leftovers and cold rice.
"Uncle, this fish looks delicious. Did you catch it? Come in quickly. I have to go to the palace tomorrow. Come chat with me tonight."
The uncle nodded while wiping his tears. He bought the fish in the city. This might be Lan'er's last meal at home. She wanted to eat fish, and he would do his best to satisfy her.
The uncle sat on the broken wooden bench that had been there for more than ten years, watching her finish the rice and fish in the bowl, and then he sighed deeply.
"Lan'er, uncle knows that you agreed to marry into the palace because you were afraid that I would quarrel with your aunt, but that prince is about to die. If he dies, you...you..."
Having said this, the uncle couldn't go on. Such a tall man actually started to cry, just like a child who had been wronged.
In order not to make his uncle worry, Luo Lan smiled with his lips pursed.
"Uncle, it's okay. I'm a lucky charm for my husband. Maybe if I go to that prince, he won't die. Don't be like this, or I'll feel bad too."
"Lan'er, I'll go talk to your aunt and find a good family for you." After saying this, the uncle prepared to leave.
"No."
Luo Lan stopped her uncle who was about to leave and said, "Let's go to the palace. After all, I will be a princess if I go there. My status is there. Maybe I can live a good life for two years."
Uncle sighed. He knew that even if he went to talk to his aunt, she would not agree.
He took out a flowered handkerchief from his arms and handed it to Luo Lan with trembling hands.
"Lan'er, this is what you had with you when I found you. You originally had a small quilt and some clothes, but they've all been lost over the years. Please take this handkerchief. Uncle doesn't have anything else to give you."
