"Don't you know I'm looking for a husband?"
Regarding this, Zhou Yeshi had indeed not mentioned it to Ye Xingwang. Zhou Yeshi said, "Xiaocui, why do you insist on taking a husband? A good man will not marry into another family. You really don't need to worry that my Ye family will bully Er Ya and San Ya. My eldest brother is handsome and has excellent character. If you don't believe me, you can go to Hongshi Village and ask around. My brother is definitely the best in our village." Zhou Yeshi gave a thumbs up.
“Your older brother is so outstanding, I’m definitely not good enough for him. I just want to find someone who isn’t outstanding enough to marry into the family, preferably someone without sons and with a simple family background, otherwise I can’t make a living. I’m not considering anyone else.”
“You two are a perfect match, a perfect match at first glance.” Zhou Yeshi said hurriedly, “Xiaocui, really, just say yes, a woman can’t live without a man.”
"Thank you for being so concerned about my marriage, but I won't consider anyone who doesn't meet my requirements. Also, please don't bring men directly to my house in the future, otherwise it will damage my reputation. My cousin is currently discussing marriage with your second brother's family. It would be bad if things didn't go well."
"They can talk their thing, we can talk ours, it's none of our business. Xiao Cui, let me tell you, a woman needs a man by her side, she can't live without one..."
She kept repeating the same thing: why can't she live without a man? Yang Cui was getting impatient and wanted to snap at him. Why wouldn't he listen to her? Who was bothering her if she wanted to find a husband while she was single?
bother!
At this moment, Yuan Qiu ran out and said loudly, "Godmother, when my uncle comes back, I will have him marry into your family. If my uncle treats you badly in the future, I can help you teach him a lesson."
Yang Cui burst out laughing.
Zhou Ye's expression immediately darkened: "Xiao Cui, who is he?"
“I am my godmother’s godson and her future nephew. Please stop bothering my godmother. My uncle can marry into the family later. My uncle doesn’t have a wife or children.” The clever little boy Yuan Qiu said to Yang Cui in a serious tone, “Godmother, what you are doing is wrong. You said you would wait for my uncle to come back and marry into the family.”
Yang Cui suddenly thought that Yuan Qiu's uncle was a good excuse. Anyway, no one knew Yuan Qiu, let alone Yuan Qiu's uncle. She could just say that she would wait for his uncle to marry into the family and delay it for a year or two.
"Alright, alright, I promise you, when your uncle comes back, if he doesn't return within two years, I will find someone else."
The Zhou siblings looked at each other in bewilderment.
Yang Cui said, "Sister-in-law, you heard it all. I'm afraid your brother and I are not meant to be. You should find him a better wife."
"Xiao Cui, you've already secretly pledged your life to someone!" Zhou Ye said with a hint of anger, feeling that her good intentions had been taken for granted, and that her own brother was so much better.
Yang Cui's face was full of anger: "Who has pledged their life to whom? Don't talk nonsense and ruin my reputation!"
"If you weren't engaged, why are you waiting for his uncle?" Zhou Ye looked at Yang Cui with a very unfriendly gaze and said sarcastically, "Could it be that the Lin family has another reason for wanting to divorce you?"
Doesn't this mean that she was divorced because she didn't uphold traditional wifely virtues and had a secret engagement with someone else?
Yang Cui was furious and couldn't help but expose Ye Xinghong's shortcomings: "Don't talk nonsense without evidence. I've been divorced and cut off ties with the Lin family for quite some time now. Am I not allowed to find someone else during this period? Not everyone is like you, getting pregnant before marriage!"
Zhou Yeshi and Zhou Hongyuan had a child before they were married. Almost everyone in Ji'an Village knew about this. The Zhou family lost face because of this, and the village chief was almost taken away by the clan chief Lin.
Zhou Yeshi was surprised that Yang Cui would bring up this matter, and her face instantly turned extremely ugly.
Don't hit someone in the face, and don't insult someone by revealing their shortcomings.
If Zhou Yeshi hadn't gone too far, Yang Cui wouldn't have wanted to talk about other people's past.
"You... don't know what's good for you! No wonder the Lin family wants to deal with you!"
"Then you're just being a jerk." Yang Cui has never been a good-tempered person; she always treats others with the utmost respect.
"you……"
Seeing the two getting into a heated argument, Ye Xingwang immediately apologized to Yang Cui: "Miss Yang, my sister is outspoken, please don't be angry."
After saying that, Ye Xingwang glared at Zhou Ye Shi and said, "Hurry up and apologize!"
Zhou Ye was somewhat afraid of Ye Xingwang, and knowing that Ye Xingwang was really angry, she said reluctantly, "I'm sorry."
Seeing that his sister had apologized, Ye Xingwang knew that Yang Cui was in a bad mood and it was not appropriate to continue the conversation. He said, "Miss Yang, we're sorry to have bothered you today. My sister and I will head back now. Even if we can't be husband and wife, we can still be friends. My sister is sorry for what happened today. Please forgive her."
Ye Xingwang's words were still quite eloquent, and Yang Cui couldn't get angry at him. She simply said in a calm tone, "Take care."
After leaving the Yang family, Zhou Yeshi complained to Ye Xingwang: "That Yang Cui, she thinks she's something special just because she got involved with the Star Gazing Tower. She's just an unwanted abandoned woman, what's so great about her?"
"Alright, that's enough. Why do you have such a sharp tongue? Who would be happy talking like that?" Ye Xingwang's expression wasn't good either. "It's normal for capable people to have a bit of a temper. Don't worry about this. I'll handle it myself."
Yang Cui was beautiful and capable, exuding an alluring charm, so Ye Xingwang naturally wouldn't give up so easily.
As soon as the Ye siblings left, Yang Cui took the things out of her basket. When the children saw the candied hawthorns and mung bean cakes, they jumped up with joy.
Yang Cui divided the candied hawthorns equally among the three children: "Here, have some."
Each child received six pieces, and Yuan Qiu was the first to hand her share to Yang Cui: "Godmother, please have some."
Er Ya and San Ya immediately handed their candied hawthorns to Yang Cui, saying, "Mother, please have some."
"I don't like sweets, you guys eat them."
Yang Cui really didn't like candied hawthorn, but she quite liked candied strawberry. However, there were no strawberries available in this era or season.
Yuan Qiu ate one, and carefully wrapped up the rest. Yang Cui thought he was going to save them to eat slowly.
The next day, Yang Cui discovered that Yuan Qiu had shared his candied hawthorn with Er Ya and San Ya.
"Qiuqiu, why aren't you eating?"
"Godmother, I already tried it yesterday, it's too sweet, I... I don't like it."
Yang Cui knew perfectly well that Yuan Qiu was lying; the longing look in his eyes when he saw the candied hawthorns yesterday was unmistakable.
The more sensible the child was, the more Yang Cui felt sorry for him.
“Fool, now that I’ve adopted you, we’re family. You’ll have what they have, and they’ll have what you have. I hope you can help each other, but I don’t want you to suffer.”
"Godmother, I'm not wronged, really."
There was no endless cursing, no beatings, no hunger, new clothes, eggs and meat to eat, and candied hawthorns and mung bean cakes. For Yuan Qiu, this kind of life was like heaven on earth.
