Chapter 511, You Are My Sunshine
"What are you thinking about?"
Seeing Xiao Yeyang in a daze, Daohua walked over and waved her hand in front of him a few times.
Xiao Yeyang came back to his senses and looked at Daohua, suppressing the fluctuations in his heart: "Are you done washing?"
Daohua nodded: "Yeah."
Xiao Yeyang: "Then let's go."
"Okay, it's time to go back." Daohua looked back at the farmhouse's gate again. He wanted to say hello to the bride before leaving, but when he saw her being hurriedly called away by the housekeeper, he gave up the idea.
On the way back, Daohua couldn't help but sigh, "This marriage really can't be sloppy. If the bride's family had thoroughly inquired about Master Zhuang's situation before marrying into the Zhuang family, the bride wouldn't have been put in such an embarrassing situation today."
Defu: "Every family's scandals are kept secret, so it may not be possible to find out."
Wang Man'er: "Marrying a man like Master Zhuang, the bride is truly pitiful."
Daohua: "We haven't even gotten married yet. Word of what happened today will definitely reach the bride's family. It all depends on what the bride's family decides."
Wang Man'er: "The bridal sedan has already entered the Zhuang family's gate. How can the bride not marry Master Zhuang?"
Daohua: "Why not? Even after getting married, you can still get a divorce. Master Zhuang is willing to sacrifice his life for another woman. Who can live with him in this situation? The sooner we leave, the sooner we can get out. I'm afraid the bride's family will covet the Zhuang family's wealth and want to force the bride to jump into it even though they know it's a trap."
Wang Man'er: "The Zhuang family brought the girl in white into the mansion, and I don't know what to do with her."
Daohua: "Who knows?" She paused, "Speaking of which, that girl in white is quite pitiful. The abominable thing is that Master Zhuang. If he couldn't give the girl a future, why bother to provoke her? After he provoked her, he couldn't protect her, and in the end, he forced the girl to commit suicide. He followed her and died for love, but he still got a good reputation."
As she spoke, Daohua noticed that Xiao Yeyang had remained silent the entire way, and felt puzzled. She tugged at his sleeve and said, "Hey, what's wrong with you? Don't you have any opinion on what happened today?"
Xiao Yeyang raised his eyes to look at Daohua, and after a moment's silence, he said, "That Master Zhuang is a coward, stupid and weak."
The stupid thing was to make my lover public before I could convince my parents, putting her in danger and embarrassment.
What is weak is that when faced with pressure from parents, he has no power to resist, and when his loved one is attacked and slandered by rumors, he does not stand up for him.
Hearing this, Daohua nodded in agreement. "You're right. When I saw Master Zhuang slamming into the stone pillar, I was wondering, if he's willing to risk his life for the girl in white, why didn't he object more forcefully and firmly before the family arranged a marriage for him?"
"If you're not even afraid of death, how can you refuse a marriage?"
"To put it bluntly, Master Zhuang isn't independent enough. He knows he'll need to rely on his parents for his future, and lacks the confidence to stand on his own feet in society. That's why he doesn't dare to rebel."
Wang Man'er nodded. "Young lady, you are right. However, Master Zhuang's willingness to commit suicide for the girl in white is truly a sign of deep love."
Daohua was very disapproving, shaking her head and sneering, "If I'm dead, what's the point of having feelings?"
Xiao Yeyang glanced at the rice flowers. He was also shocked about Master Zhuang's suicide for love.
It is not uncommon for a woman to commit suicide for a man, but it is rare to hear of a man committing suicide for a woman. This shows that Master Zhuang must have really loved Miss Dong.
But love alone is not enough, especially when there is a big gap in the social status of two people, this love may very likely be a death warrant.
What happened between Master Zhuang and Miss Dong today made Xiao Yeyang involuntarily think of him and Daohua.
There is also a huge gap in the portals between them.
The family of the richest man in a small town can be involved in a bloody incident because of a wedding, not to mention that he is a member of the royal family and has more and greater interests involved.
Although he didn't want to admit it, it seemed that he really didn't have the final say in his marriage.
But are we just going to give up on the rice flowers like this?
Whenever he thought about Daohua marrying someone else in the future, he felt chest tightness and shortness of breath.
But if he told the elders about Daohua and himself, as Master Zhuang did, would they definitely agree? Would he also put Daohua in danger, as happened to Miss Dong?
When he thought that Daohua might be forced to fall to the ground covered in blood like Miss Dong, his heart felt like it was being stabbed by a needle, and it ached bitterly.
He couldn't imagine what he would do if the rice flowers were gone one day?
"Xiao Yeyang, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing that Xiao Yeyang had a frown on his face and looked extremely unpleasant, and didn't respond after calling him several times, Daohua waved her hand in front of her with some worry.
"Rice flower!"
Xiao Yeyang grabbed Daohua's hand and hugged her tightly in his arms.
Daohua was stunned for a moment, and felt that Xiao Yeyang seemed to be afraid of something, so she patted his back to comfort him. After a while, she asked, "Xiao Yeyang, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Yeyang did not answer immediately. After a while, he uttered three words: "Believe me." I will never let anything happen to you.
Daohua's expression froze, and almost instantly she understood what Xiao Yeyang wanted to express.
Should I believe him?
She believed in his sincerity at the moment, but she was not sure whether he would remain true to his original intention as time went by.
Even if the original intention is not right, many times, in the face of reality and the general environment, human power is so small and insignificant.
Daohua slowly raised her hand, wanting to hug Xiao Yeyang, but when it was halfway in the air, she hesitated and stopped.
Xiao Yeyang still hugged Daohua tightly: "Yiyi, do you still remember the sea of ​​sunflowers you gave me? I feel that I am the sunflower, and you are my sunshine."
Hearing this, Daohua's heart trembled, and her hands in the air tightened involuntarily, hugging Xiao Yeyang's body.
On the side, Wang Man'er, Defu and the other three looked at the two people who suddenly hugged each other, and they looked at each other in confusion.
Finally, Wang Maner felt something was wrong and coughed a few times, which brought the two back to their senses.
Xiao Yeyang let go of Daohua and walked towards Taohua Village with her calmly: "Aren't you planning to open a seed shop in the capital? I'll help you find a store."
The vegetables, fruits and melons produced in Daohuazhuang are of good quality and high yield. If these seeds are promoted, it will definitely benefit the country and the people.
Whether it is known by the emperor's uncle or by the people, it will increase the reputation of the Yan family.
There is a gap in status between him and Daohua. If he wants to marry Daohua, in addition to working hard to improve his own abilities and do his job well, he also has to improve the status of the Yan family.
Daohua: "Okay, but I have some requirements for the shop. I want two shops next to each other. One is for selling vegetables and grains, all for display; the other is for selling seeds. It would be best if it had a backyard so that the shop assistants can live there and it would also be convenient for me to inspect in the future."
"Any other requests?"
"Not for now."
"By the way, I haven't yet deciphered the letter you intercepted in Sishan Village. Please help me take a look at it when you get back."
"Okay, no problem."
