Nan Yan said, "But didn't you say you were going to marry me? So, shouldn't the person who's going to be my wife have the keys to the house?"
“I was impulsive back then because I was so scared of suddenly going blind, and I said the wrong thing. I’ve also thought it through. I don’t want to marry you, and you should take me to see a doctor. Once my eyes are healed, I won’t need you to take responsibility anymore.”
Ah Li's hand was released by Nan Yan, but he still kept his head down. The two looked at each other and he said, "Is that so? It was just a moment of impulse. Your eyes can be healed."
"Um."
When Ah Li saw that he didn't take the key back, she simply threw it away.
The original owner obtained this set of keys, which gave her a fatal weakness against him, and she didn't want it.
Seeing that she threw it away so easily, Nan Yan quickly caught the key and said, "Alright, it's good that your eyes are better."
He now wants to keep her by his side; if her eyesight really improves, it will save him a lot of trouble.
Nan Yan continued installing door locks, this time installing them inside the room.
Ah Li banged on the door with a stick and went outside. Nan Yan said, "It's getting dark, don't go too far."
"For a blind man like me, what difference does it make whether it's dark or not?"
Ah Li replied with that, and as she walked to the door, she muttered to herself, "Strange, there were tofu vendors this morning, how come they're closing up shop so soon?"
She wanted to eat tofu.
Nan Yan heard this and made a note of it; he would make tofu for her tomorrow.
After Nan Yan installed the lock, he looked towards the door again. He wasn't acting on a whim or playing a trick on her; he just wanted to be nice to this person so that if anyone from the Nan family came, she could help deal with them.
Even his aunt knows he brought a blind man back; the head of the Nan family must know soon too.
What will he do?
He values social standing above all else, and he probably wouldn't want to marry a blind woman from the countryside.
But why should his life be decided by his own will?
Nan Yan put the hammer away; he was going to prepare some rice so the little blind boy wouldn't go hungry.
?
On the other side, Ahri sat on a large rock by the river and picked up small stones to throw into the water.
The original owner was kicked out by her older brother and sister-in-law, so going back was impossible.
She just told Nan Yan that her eyes will get better, and she doesn't need him to marry her or take responsibility for her.
She needs to think carefully about where she will go and with whom she will have her baby.
"Su Li?"
Someone called her name.
Ahri gripped the stick in her hand and said, "Who is it? I can't see and I don't recognize your voice."
“I’m Su Aniu. I went to your house to look for you a couple of days ago, and your sister-in-law said you ran away from home.”
Su Aniu, an honest and decent young man with a bit of good looks, was someone the original owner knew.
He walked over and sat down next to Ahri, and even picked up a small stone next to Ahri and threw it into the water.
Ripples spread across the stream.
At this moment, Ah Li said sadly, "Did your sister-in-law tell you that I ran away from home?"
"Um."
Su Aniu also said, "Anyway, I don't believe it. I know your sister-in-law won't tolerate you."
Ali lowered her head and said sadly, "They kicked me out. They said I was lazy and unwilling to work, that I was just freeloading at home, and that they couldn't afford to support me."
Su Aniu raised his hand as if to comfort Ali, but then stopped himself. He asked, "Then why can't you see?"
"It was a bit of an accident, but it should be fine soon."
"So where have you been staying lately?"
Ah Li quickly said, "I was staying at a kind person's house. He took me in because he felt sorry for me and that I was blind."
She couldn't let anyone know that she was greedy and deliberately pretended to be blind to frame others.
Su Aniu looked into Ali's eyes. This person had been raised very well by her parents and was also very beautiful.
But in the village, everyone prefers a wife who is capable of working in the fields and managing household chores; nobody wants to marry a lazy and good-for-nothing woman.
"By the way, I'm getting married soon. My bride's family introduced me to someone. You'll be happy to come and have a drink at my wedding."
He was here after dropping off the woman he was about to marry, and he never expected to meet her here.
Ahri smiled and said, "Okay, congratulations!"
At this moment, Su Aniu stood up and said, "It's dangerous by the river, and you can't see anything. Let me take you back."
"Um."
As soon as Ah Li grabbed the stick, Su A Niu helped her up.
At this time, there weren't many people around, so there was no fear of being seen and attracting gossip.
Ah Li was helped down from the big rock by Su A Niu.
Su Aniu also said, "How did you climb up there? It was so dangerous."
Ali smiled but didn't say anything, and Su Aniu didn't ask any further questions.
He felt that Su Li seemed different. She used to never look people in the eye, and when she spoke to him, she didn't like to look at him.
Also, the color of her pupils is different from other people's, which looks very strange.
Now it seems that it was because of her poor eyesight; she went blind in such a short time.
Remembering their past friendship, Su Aniu thought he should go and meet the person who took in Su Li to see if that person was a decent person, so that Su Li wouldn't be bullied.
Coincidentally, when Nan Yan came out looking for someone, he found Su Li and Su A Niu walking together.
Su Aniu would also remind Su Li to be careful, to watch out for the broken stones and small pits on the ground.
The roads in the village weren't very smooth, and it was quite a feat for a blind woman like her to walk such a long distance.
At this moment, Su Aniu also noticed Nan Yan. He wondered when this person had appeared in the village, someone he had never seen before.
Nan Yan came from the Nan family. Even though he was born out of wedlock, he still lived a life of luxury. He would never have appeared in a place like this before, so it's normal that Su Aniu didn't recognize him.
Su Aniu looked away, and Ali said to him at that moment, "Where I live now is not far from here."
The two of them walked past Nan Yan, who continued walking forward. He had worried about that person for nothing. He was still thinking that the rice was ready and he needed to come out and look for the person, otherwise the rice would get cold.
As it turned out, someone took her home.
Nan Yan took two steps forward, and the next second, he turned around and followed.
Su Aniu didn't think too much about it, figuring it was on the way.
Nan Yan followed at a distance, not too close, and began to consider whether to take them to town to see a doctor.
He asked the village doctor to come and see him, but the doctor couldn't explain why the man couldn't see even though his head wasn't injured.
Nan Yan thought, "Let's do it tomorrow. I'll personally lead a group to town to take a look, and have someone deliver some tofu while I'm at it."
As a result, the idea was immediately rejected by Nan Yan.
Forget it, she's ungrateful. I won't make tofu for her anymore.
When they arrived at the entrance of the farmhouse, Su Aniu didn't know that this was where Ali was living, so he led Ali to continue walking forward.
Ah Li didn't remind her, since she was blind and Nan Yan was following behind them. If she said she lived there first, she would be exposed.
