Chapter 28 I will treat you well in the future
"Uncle Hao, this is Yike, my marriage partner." Ziyi pushed Yike and said, "This is Uncle Hao and Aunt."
"Hello Uncle Hao! Hello Auntie!" Yi Ke called out obediently.
Uncle Hao felt a headache when he looked at this little girl who was obviously still a child. How to get married at such a young age? But he said something against his will: "Okay, okay! What a lovely girl! Ziyi has a good eye! Yike, please sit down for a while and let your aunt accompany you. Ziyi and I will go out to get something."
Uncle Hao and his aunt enthusiastically held out a handful of fruit and said, "Come and eat some fruit. These fruits are very sweet."
"Thank you, auntie." Yike said sweetly. Although Yike's soul was several dozen years old, her body was only fourteen years old. She could only play the role of a well-behaved child. So when the child's cute and coquettish character came out, she immediately won the heart of Uncle Hao and Auntie Hao.
Uncle Hao, whose full name is Li Haoran, is 58 years old this year. His wife is Zhang Yuling, who is 35 years old this year. She is the one he bought from outside the mountain. In order to take care of the little boy Ziyi, Li Haoran specially bought a woman who could not bear children to be his wife. This is also a miserable woman. Her parents favor boys over girls and treat her like a cow.
One cold winter, Zhang Yuling was washing clothes by the river. She was cold and hungry. Suddenly, she felt dizzy and fell into the river. Although she was rescued, the cold air entered her body and she suffered from uterine cold and lost her fertility. In order to keep her at home longer and help with family work for a few more years, her parents told others that she was infertile, so she was still working like a slave in her parents' home in her twenties. After liberation, her parents sold her to a human trafficker for five yuan for money, and she was eventually bought back by Li Haoran. Fortunately, Li Haoran is a good man who cares for her very much and does not despise her infertility. The truth is that Li Haoran liked her because she was infertile. Although it was a bit cruel, she was kept in the dark and didn't know it. She was grateful that her man did not despise her infertility. She followed Li Haoran wholeheartedly and lived a happy life from then on.
Living with Li Haoran, she only needs to do housework and take good care of Ziyi. This kind of life was something Zhang Yuling had never dared to dream of before. She had no children, so she treated Ziyi as her own son and loved him like her own child. This was also the purpose of Li Haoran's insistence on marrying a woman who could not have children. The goal was achieved and everyone was happy.
The family of three originally lived in a cave, and only moved out to live on their own when Ziyi grew up. Zhang Yuling has always felt not only love but also gratitude towards Li Haoran. It was this man who saved her from dire straits, so to her, Li Haoran's words were like an imperial decree. Li Haoran said Yike is a good kid, so he is a good kid, and she likes Yike as much as she likes Ziyi.
"Come, let's eat some fruit together. These are pine cones that Ziyi picked up in the fall. There are also chestnuts. There are so many of them. Eat them boldly. Don't be shy. Eat as much as you want. When you're done, Auntie can take more."
"Poor child, look at your small body. How can you keep warm with so little clothing? Eat the fruit while I go get you a piece of fur to make you a fur coat. It will surely be warmer than the rabbit fur you are wearing. From now on, I will take care of your clothes and make sure you stay warm."
The enthusiasm of Uncle Hao and Auntie left Yike powerless to resist. He was thinking of calling for help, but out of the corner of his eye he saw Ziyi being pulled out by Uncle Hao.
"You little brat, tell us where you kidnapped the girl from and return her to her parents as soon as possible. Don't you know that parents will be anxious if they lose their child?" Li Haoran lowered his voice and scolded Ziyi harshly.
"You dare to marry such a young child? Aren't you afraid of shortening your life? If you want a woman, we can go down the mountain and buy a bigger one. Then we can have children after we get married. This one is a little small. You can only look at it but not eat it, let alone have children right away. How can you wait? Look at your worthless behavior. You eat other people's food but do nothing about their work."
Ziyi let Li Haoran scold him without saying a word. After he finished scolding, he told her about how the little girl was trapped by a tiger, how he rescued her and she wanted to come back with him, how she later froze to death, and how he rescued her. He did not mention the part where the little girl did not want to marry him at first and how she ran away. After listening to it, Li Haoran could only sigh that it was a match made by the matchmaker and a match made in heaven.
"Since you have ruined the little girl's innocence, there is nothing we can do. She should be small." Li Haoran sighed in his heart, "Brother, I'm sorry, your family's inheritance will take a few years to realize."
Although the girl is a little young, there is no problem in waiting for a few years. The main reason was that Li Haoran thought that the girl fell in love with Ziyi after being rescued by Ziyi and voluntarily married him, which was better than going outside the mountain to buy a woman without feelings. If Li Haoran knew that Ziyi forced him to marry her, he would probably be sad.
"Where is that girl from? How old is she this year? What do her parents do? Why did she come to the forest?" Li Haoran asked a series of questions, and Ziyi was speechless and couldn't answer any of them.
"Hey! You don't know anything about love? You say you want to marry someone without knowing anything." Li Haoran was really convinced.
"I went to the cave where she lived. She said that was her home. She said there was no one at home, so..." Ziyi spoke lower and lower. He felt that something was wrong and was embarrassed to say more.
"Forget it! You're just a fool, I'll go ask myself." Li Haoran saw Ziyi's helpless look and couldn't help but slap him on the back.
"Yike, the fruit is delicious, right? If it's delicious, let Ziyi take some back when we go back." Li Haoran sat down next to his wife and said with a smile.
"Delicious! Thank you, uncle and aunt!" Yike did not refuse politely at all. There were no such fruits in her cave. It would be a waste not to eat them, hehe!
"Yike, it's like this. You and our Ziyi are getting married, so your aunt and I want to ask, where is your hometown? Why do you live in the forest alone? Do you want us to go to your house to propose? Do you want us to notify your family when you get married?" Li Haoran said.
"Why do you have so many questions? I'm afraid you won't ask them one by one." Zhang Yuling said angrily.
"Well, well, I really don't mean anything else. I just want our family to understand each other. If it's not convenient, you can keep it to yourself. Really, Yike, don't be offended." Li Haoran said awkwardly.
"It's okay. It's not a secret. My home is outside the forest, in a village called Hanjiagou. I have parents, a brother and a sister. I ran away from home last year. My mother wanted to sell me to a fool, and that fool beat my two wives to death..." Yi Ke did not hide anything and told everything like pouring out beans.
"My poor child, what kind of parents are you? You have no conscience." Perhaps thinking of her own life experience, Zhang Yuling hugged Yike and burst into tears. She was even sadder than Yike.
"Auntie, don't cry. I escaped and everything is fine." Yi Ke didn't know how to comfort Zhang Yuling. In fact, she is not sad at all now, but she has to pretend to be sad for the sake of appearance, and she has to find words to comfort Zhang Yuling. It is so difficult!
"Look at you, look at you, why are you sad here? You've made Yi Ke sad too." Li Haoran knew that those words brought up his wife's sad memories, so he scolded her deliberately so that he could move on from this matter quickly.
"Yike, I'm sorry! I was also sold by my parents, so. You see, those things are in the past. I will treat you as my own daughter from now on. As for those parents who don't know how to cherish you, we don't care about them. We just live our own lives and be happy in the future." Zhang Yuling hurriedly comforted Yike.
Yike lowered his head slightly, frowned, and tried hard to look sad, but he didn't know if it looked like it, so he just lowered his head so that they couldn't see his whole face.
"Oh, acting is so difficult. I'm not cut out for it. Please stop talking about it and talk about something else." Yi Ke thought secretly in his heart.
"Yes, yes! We are a family from now on, we will all treat you well, don't worry." Li Haoran also hurried to comfort him. It was all his fault for asking those questions. Those who lived in the forest came in because they couldn't survive outside. He was also talking too much. Why did he care so much about the past? As long as everything was fine in the future, it would be fine. Really! Ziyi was also a taciturn person and did not rush to comfort the little girl. Li Haoran kicked Ziyi quietly. Ziyi looked at Li Haoran, Li Haoran nodded at Yike, and Ziyi understood what he meant.
"Yike, don't worry, I will treat you well in the future." The reason why Ziyi didn't comfort the little girl immediately was that he was shocked by what the little girl said. How could these parents be so partial? The little girl is so pitiful. I must treat her well in the future!
"Yes! I believe you!" This is too difficult. What expression should I make now? Happy? gratitude? Or continue to be sad? Which director can give me some hint?
"Come on! Eat some fruit. This fruit is delicious and sweet! Eat more later. The little girl likes sweet things." In order to change the topic, Zhang Yuling quickly handed an apple to Yike.
"What a nice person!" Yike gave Zhang Yuling a nice person card, "Finally I don't have to act anymore, it's so hard!"
"Oh! Apple!" said Yi Ke in surprise. She searched the mountains for a long time but didn't see any apple trees. She thought there were no such fruits in the forest. Holding the apple, he took a big bite with no image at all.
"As long as you like it, Ziyi, take some back later and come back for more after you finish eating." Li Haoran said to Ziyi.
"Okay, Uncle Hao." Ziyi took a few more and placed them in front of Yike. He whispered, "Eat slowly, there's still a lot." He saw Yike's cheeks bulging and wanted to poke them.
"You guys come here to eat today and try your aunt's cooking. Your aunt cooks delicious food." Li Haoran said.
Yike looked up at Ziyi, who nodded and said, "Aunt's food is delicious. Let's eat our fill before going back."
"I'm in for a treat. Auntie, you're so nice! Let me help you." Yike hugged Zhang Yuling's arm and pretended to be a good girl.
"Okay, let's do it together. Let's go and cook." The two of them chatted and laughed as they went to cook.
