The house is ancient, and was taken home by a rough man and spoiled

Chapter 236 Meeting Wang Cui'e

"Yuanyuan, it's okay. I'm strong and not afraid of infection. Besides, you're fine too. Eat it while it's hot. I'm glad you came to see me. Yuanyuan, I... I like you. I want to marry you home as soon as possible so that you don't have to starve and we can be together every day."

The male voice was a little nervous and shy.

Su Wanwan's whole body froze. It was obvious from the sound of this boy that he was a pure and innocent boy.

Zhao Yuanyuan is really capable. She is flexible and unyielding. Finally, she hooked up with someone.

Su Wanwan didn't listen any more and quickly walked towards another road.

She somewhat understood Zhao Yuanyuan's mentality, and wanted to find a backer as soon as possible so that she could marry someone with good conditions and not suffer.

But, although she understood it, she couldn't accept this kind of thinking.

If you just want to find someone to marry and then live a good life, that's fine, there's nothing wrong with that.

But she had wanted to seduce Shen Yuan before, even though she knew he was a married man. This was not a good intention.

Such a person, even if she really gets married, will probably be restless and will not live an honest life.

The two boys and girls hid behind the wall. Thinking that because of the plague, no one went out much, they stood there talking without restraint and didn't even notice Su Wanwan passing by.

"But...will my aunt like me? What if she doesn't agree?"

Zhao Yuanyuan looked a little conflicted and pitiful.

"I am marrying a wife, not my mother. Don't worry, my mother is very nice. You are so beautiful, gentle and sensible. How could my mother not like you? Unless you don't want to marry me..."

He Xiliang looked at the little girl's beautiful face and wanted to take her home immediately.

Zhao Yuanyuan nodded immediately:

"I think so. I do. Brother Xiliang, you are the best man I have ever met."

Hearing this, He Xiliang excitedly held her little hand. Zhao Yuanyuan looked even more shy and gently scratched his palm with her little finger.

He Xiliang's heart was beating fast, but he tried his best to suppress the urge to hug her.

How could there be such a good woman in the world?

"Okay then. I'll go back and tell my mom. Yuanyuan, just go back and wait. I'll ask my mom to propose marriage."

He Xiliang felt that he could not wait any longer and wished he could get married and enter the bridal chamber that same day.

Zhao Yuanyuan was also satisfied. She nodded obediently, then walked back while eating the biscuits, looking back from time to time...at the house not far away.

The house is very big. Although it is not a complete brick and tile house, some places are covered with blue bricks. It is almost the second most luxurious house in the village, better than Shen Yuan's house.

She had also inquired around. The second son of the family worked as an accountant in the town. The eldest son was a capable man and worked on the farm at home. The third son, He Xiliang, was not married yet, but the father of the three brothers was a capable man. He used to be a housekeeper in a wealthy family. He came back and set up a small workshop in the village to make soy sauce and vinegar.

There are two daughters in the family. The eldest daughter married and lived a very glorious life in the county town. The younger daughter is not married yet, but she is very beautiful and will definitely marry into a wealthy family.

The conditions were so good that she couldn't believe it.

He Xiliang was a complete fool and a dull-witted young man. She just used some tricks on him and he was completely bewitched by her. He wanted to give her his heart.

If she had known there was such a family in the village, she wouldn't have gone around in circles before finding the right target.

Humph, there are several girls in the village who are prettier than me, but there are still so many men who look down on her. Now, it is she who looks down on them.

Those men deserved to be single, but she wanted to marry a better one and make them regret it.

He Xiliang thought Zhao Yuanyuan was looking at him, and his heart softened, as if he had drunk honey, and he waved at her.

Zhao Yuanyuan finally came back to her senses, smiled at He Xiliang, and ran away shyly.

Su Wanwan hurried home and saw a thin woman coming down the mountain at the door.

She walked with difficulty and limped, carrying a bamboo basket on her back. Her thin body was buried under the basket, and she looked very sad.

When she came closer, Su Wanwan saw that it was Wang Cui'e.

Wang Cui'e's face was very pale, her lips were chapped, and she was wearing gray clothes with patches all over them. Sister-in-law Li Yulin said that Wang Cui'e was only in her early twenties, but looked like she was in her thirties.

Her leg must have been injured. She slipped and stumbled. The backpack was probably too heavy and pushed her backwards, causing her to fall straight down.

Seeing this, Su Wanwan ran over immediately.

Wang Cui'e fell down and the things in her backpack fell out. They were all wild vegetables, and some tree bark and roots.

"Sister-in-law, are you okay?"

Su Wanwan wanted to help her, but Wang Cui'e seemed to be frightened. She got up suddenly and put wild vegetables into the backpack.

It was like a flash of light, and Su Wanwan suddenly saw a large kitchen knife under the backpack.

The kitchen knife was polished to a shine and looked a little cold.

Wang Cui'e immediately covered the kitchen knife with something like a tree root, her eyes a little evasive.

"I don't have any tools at home, so I use this kitchen knife to scrape some elm bark."

Su Wanwan was shocked: elm bark!

She looked at the wrinkled bark. She seemed to have read in a book before that during famine years, people gnawed on tree bark. It seemed that the layer of elm bark that was closest to the most comfortable layer was edible?

However, their Daliushu Village had just harvested wheat. Although the harvest was not good, they were able to exempt a lot of taxes and still be able to hold on until the autumn harvest.

It must be He Erzhu and that old lady who didn’t let Wang Cui’e eat!

Su Wanwan immediately squatted down to help her pick up all the things and put them into the backpack. Looking at the rough elm bark, Su Wanwan felt a pang of pain in her heart.

"No, I can do it myself, thank you."

Wang Cui'e looked a little nervous when she saw her helping, and hurriedly stuffed a handful of grass into the backpack.

Su Wanwan suddenly realized something and looked into the backpack again. The big knife had been buried and could not be seen, but the grass did not look like wild vegetables.

Having been here for so long, she is also familiar with the common wild vegetables in the mountains.

"Thank you........"

Wang Cui'e filled the backpack, said a word of thanks, and put the backpack on her back. Perhaps the kitchen knife underneath shook a little. Su Wanwan was holding the backpack and felt the kitchen knife against the backpack. She could still vaguely see the light.

Su Wanwan was startled, feeling like she had caught something, and in a panic, she stepped forward to stop her.

"Sister-in-law, you've been tired for a long time, come to my house and have a drink of water."

Her home was just ahead, and Su Wanwan tried to persuade her to stay.

"No... no need, my family is waiting for me to go back."

Wang Cui'e refused and walked away hurriedly.

Su Wanwan followed behind her, watching her take one deep step and one shallow step, and almost fall down several times, which frightened her to death.

This woman has suffered so much.

She was probably thinking of dying together with the scumbag.
