Chapter 016: Acting Cute and Pleasing
Not to mention that several members of the Wen family are in the county hospital.
Then Wen Hehua woke up from a late nap like every day and found that everyone in the second room was gone.
Knowing that they went to the county hospital, the two girls must have gone to the mountains to collect firewood and dig wild vegetables.
Thinking of Song Mo's attitude towards him, he suddenly became depressed after dinner.
"Mom, what do you say? Song Mo is blind and actually fell in love with bean sprouts. What should I do?"
Mrs. Wen thought for a moment and said, "Song Mo also went to the county hospital today. Only the old lady and the children are at home in the Song family. You can go and try to build relationships. If Mrs. Song nods, I think Song Mo will consider it."
A smile suddenly appeared on Wen Hehua's face. "Mom, you still have a way. I'll go right away."
Old Madam Wen grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Hehua, when you got engaged, I told you to go see Mrs. Song and win her over. But you said you would follow the army sooner or later. Why bother with her?"
Wen Hehua said coquettishly: "Mom, don't waste your time, I'll change my clothes and go now, I know what to do."
Old Lady Wen hurriedly stopped her daughter and said, "Hehua, don't change your clothes. You were wearing new clothes that day, but Song Mo didn't even raise his eyelids. Instead, he fell in love with Wen Kexin who was wearing patched clothes. It shows that the Song family likes hardworking and simple girls."
Wen Hehua thought for a moment and said, "Mom, you're right. Then I won't change my clothes."
"I heard that Mrs. Song is still sick. When you come to the Song family, you must not only be able to speak, but also be diligent. Sweep the yard and help wipe the dust at home. I think Song Mo will definitely come back this afternoon or evening, so you should stay at the Song family for a while."
"Mom, are you sure he can come back? Will that money-loser come back too?"
"Song Mo went there in a bullock cart. How could the brigade let him spend the night outside? What about the animals?"
"Mom, you are really thoughtful. I am leaving now!"
Wen Hehua made her plans and went straight to the Song family in a good mood.
Old Mrs. Song Feng Shulan's illness has improved a lot. After breakfast, she was doing needlework. When her eldest son came back, she was making underwear for Song Mo.
The child liked to wear the soft cotton underwear she made, saying it was comfortable.
Although the second son is married, the little girl still doesn't think about these things, so she, as a mother, has to worry more.
She will tell her daughter-in-law about these things when she has time. She doesn't know how good the child is at needlework, so she will have to teach her herself.
Sooner or later, I will close my eyes, and all these things will be left to my daughter-in-law.
Two children were playing in the yard, and she looked up from time to time.
At this time, she heard someone walking into the yard. She looked out and found it was Wen Hehua.
Why is this girl here?
Since the engagement, although they lived in the same village, Miss Lotus never visited him.
Yesterday, Song Mo and Wen Kexin came back and just said they were sending their in-laws to the hospital today.
Old Mrs. Song still doesn't know about He Hua's change of heart. Song Mo doesn't want his mother to know about these bad things. Anyway, the matter has become a foregone conclusion.
Soon, Wen Hehua walked into the room and said with a sweet smile: "Aunt, are you busy? What are you sewing? I heard that you were sick, so I came to see you."
Feng Shulan's face suddenly changed and she hurriedly put away the needlework in her hands.
Then, he said seriously: "Hehua, I am cured. You had a relationship with Song Mo in my family before. In order to avoid suspicion, you should not come, so as not to affect your reputation."
Wen Hehua didn't expect the old lady to speak so directly, and suddenly felt her face burning.
Although he was filled with hatred, he never showed it on the surface.
Thinking of the injustices I suffered in the past two days, my eyes suddenly became moist.
She said pitifully, "Aunt, ever since I received the letter from my second brother and learned that he was disabled, I became anxious and sick. It was my mother who suggested the replacement marriage. I can't bear to leave my second brother, and I can't bear to leave you even more."
Feng Shulan was kindhearted. Seeing her crying pitifully, she patiently advised, "Hehua, this matter has passed. No matter who made the decision, it is Miss Kexin who is marrying. You are good-looking. Find a suitable partner and live a good life in the future."
It was like being struck by lightning. Wen Hehua was a little dumbfounded. Did Song Mo say something to the old man?
She is not willing to give in!
She said tearfully, "I won't! Aunt, my second brother and I have feelings for each other. I am willing to marry and take care of you and my eldest brother's two children. I will be a good daughter-in-law of the Song family. Ke Xin is still young and doesn't understand anything. Just tell others that I am sick and ask her to come and see me, okay?"
Feng Shulan was not an idiot. Seeing Lotus Girl pleading with tears on her face, she muttered to herself: If I had known this would happen, I would not have done it in the first place.
A mother must tell the man she is marrying off when she finds someone to marry her off.
She didn't want to expose the other party and embarrass both of them.
She didn't know her son had already made his choice.
Thinking about the fact that Song Mo and Ke Xin lived in the new house last night, he felt regretful.
After a moment of hesitation, I could only say, "Hehua, an old woman like me doesn't have the final say. Wait until your second brother comes back."
If Wen Hehua was the old man's words, she would nod and say, "Aunt is right. I will wait for my second brother to come back."
She stood up, looked around the room, then picked up the broom and swept the floor diligently.
Feng Shulan panicked when she saw her working, and said hurriedly, "Hehua, what are you doing? Put it down, I'll do it myself."
Wen Hehua continued with a face full of grievance: "Aunt, since the engagement, I have always wanted to be close to you. I think we will have a long time to get along with each other in the future, so this matter is not urgent. I never dreamed that my marriage with my second brother would turn out like this. I can't bear to leave my second brother, and even more so my aunt. Can you let me help with some work to make up for the regret in my heart?"
To be honest, Feng Shulan and Wen Hehua have not had any contact for more than a year since Song Mo got engaged.
I just heard people in the village say that Wen Hehua did nothing at home. I also heard that the old lady of the Wen family doted on this old daughter the most, and that all the housework in the Wen family was the responsibility of the second wife, which was why Hehua was able to stay so well-groomed.
During the Chinese New Year and other festivals, she would ask the matchmaker to send gifts to the Wen family on behalf of her son to maintain the relationship between them, but Miss Lotus never came to express her gratitude.
Feng Shulan was unhappy, but didn't say anything.
After hearing about Lotus's laziness, he gradually developed an opinion of her.
The wedding date was set, but the day before the wedding, the Wen family announced that the bride would be replaced by Ke Xin, a maid from the second room.
Feng Shulan's accumulated dissatisfaction with He Hua came to the fore.
I remember that I often saw Miss Ke Xin taking her younger brothers and sisters to collect grass for pigs and dig wild vegetables.
The little girl looks thin, but her eyes are clear and transparent. She is a good child who is capable of working.
All in all, Miss Ke Xin is five years younger than Song Mo, so she will grow up sooner or later.
In comparison, Ke Xin is better than He Hua, who was raised in the Wen family.
After careful consideration, Feng Shulan readily agreed to the substitutionary marriage.
At this moment, she found that Lotus was so diligent and wondered in her heart: Could the rumor be wrong?
