Many people in the village secretly said about her that other people with birthmarks on their faces or disabilities in their legs and feet were not as hard to get married as she was.
These people are also mentally ill. Just because they have been a concubine, are they so fussy about it? This pedantic attitude makes her sick.
To be able to be a concubine, her daughter must at least be good-looking. Otherwise, how could a rich master be interested in her?
"Ruxin, Ruxin, what a happy event!"
"What's the good news?"
Zhao Ruxin leaned against the kang, not wanting to even look at her mother. What else could she possibly do? She hadn't given a damn about whether or not to get married. Just looking at how her mother and Second Aunt were living, she knew it was hard to have a happy life after getting married.
But she hated other people's gossip. Those gossipy women in the village compared her with Zhao Xiaoyu, Zhao Zhaodi and even Zhao Lihua, saying that no one wanted her at her age.
This was hard for her, who had always been proud and arrogant, to accept. Why was she no longer wanted? Was it because she herself didn't want to get married?
"Someone has agreed to marry you."
Zhao Ru was heartbroken. Was she so happy that someone would marry her? Why was she so disliked by everyone? Wasn't it all because of them?
"Who wants to marry me?"
"There's a widower in Lijia Village with three children. He lost his wife two years ago. I heard his wife died of illness. He said he wanted to find a wife to look after the children and clean up the house at the same time."
"He wants a free servant?"
"What are you talking about, kid? She's looking for a companion. If she marries into their family, you'll have three more children.
From now on, Mom can rest assured that someone will take care of you in your old age."
Zhao Ruxin lowered her eyes and looked at her belly. This was also the biggest reason why she didn't want to get married. She couldn't have children.
So apart from marrying a widower, it's hard to find anyone else. I've tried over the years, but they don't want their family to be extinct.
She closed her eyes in despair.
"How old is the other person and how old is the child?"
If things were like this, would she still have a choice? Could she still choose?
She can only accept her fate!
"The other party is thirty-two years old. The eldest child is fourteen years old, and the youngest is eight years old."
Zhao Ruxin closed her eyes in despair again.
"Too old."
How old was she? How old was he? The difference was more than ten years, which was hard for her to accept.
"Not old, not old," Wang hastily persuaded, "Don't you know that when you're older you know how to care for others, right?"
"What's your family situation?"
Wang frowned, "They say they have five acres of land, but their house is made of mud bricks, and they don't have much money."
This cannot be hidden from my daughter.
"It means that I can't afford the betrothal gift anymore."
"I'm afraid even if we give them a little, they can barely make ends meet."
Zhao Ruxin hugged her knees, not knowing what she was thinking. Wang didn't dare to disturb her. Well, come to think of it, what kind of person is this? It's no wonder that her daughter looks down on him.
It's like marrying into a family means you'll become a mother-in-law. This is a big deal.
"How about we take another look?"
"Mom, I want to see that man and his child."
If she could control them, it wouldn't be impossible. At least she could make the decision at home. After all, a stepmother was still a mother. She didn't believe that she couldn't control them.
A man? Oh, she never expected to find a decent man. After she blew out the lights, who would be the same?
She never cared about that.
"Would you like to meet them?"
