C172 "He wants to marry you, do you want to marry him?"
He wants to marry you, will you
Before she saw him, she heard his voice, "Sister-in-law, it's me."
The person who came in from outside had a body covered in a cold wind.
It was Second Aunt of Mei Family and his family's daughter-in-law, Xing Hua.
Lady Song Li saw the two of them enter the room and was momentarily at a loss as to how to react. She could only blankly say, "It's you two?"
"Isn't it just us?" We're here, don't kick us out, Sister-in-law. "
The Second Aunt of Mei Family was all smiles, and Xing Hua, who was behind her, also had a gentle smile on her face. She politely called out "Aunt" and after Madame Song Li agreed, her eyes looked straight at Mian Niang.
Mian Niang looked at them a little helplessly.
She did not have a good impression of the people of the Mei Family. Even when the Mei Family's second wife did not feel the same way as the tofu hyacinth, she felt that the Mei Family did not have any good people in it. The fruits on the tree should be of a similar character.
Mian Niang was the first to react, she immediately went to pour some hot water for them, Madame Song Li then said to the daughter-in-law: "Sit."
She moved closer, giving way to the edge of the kang.
No matter what tofu hyacinth and the others did to Mian Niang, the Second Aunt of the Second Uncle of Mei Family would never be bad to her family.
Madame Song Li still remembered this friendship.
The Second Aunt of Mei Family sat on the edge of the brick bed, holding Madame Song's hand as she asked about her well-being.
The apricot stood behind her, rubbing her hands together.
Facing A Yunniang's measuring gaze, he chuckled, and did not take it to heart.
Two bowls of hot water were placed in their hands. Mian Niang dragged A Yunniang and sat back on the brick bed.
She was born with a body of a crab, and always disdained hiding her thoughts. How could Mian Niang not see through it?
The Second Aunt of Mei Family smiled and said to A Yunniang: "You don't have to look at us women like that, we don't have any bad intentions, it's just that we haven't come here for such a long time, so we're a little concerned about it. Today, we originally came back from grandma's home, and just happened to pass by your village. Sister-in-law, don't you dare kick us out. "
The latter part of her sentence was directed towards Madame Song and Li.
Madame Song said somewhat embarrassedly: "How could that be? With all of you having this kind of thoughts, we can't even be happy. How about this, we won't leave tonight, we'll stay here, I'll have Mian Niang prepare dinner now."
Second Aunt of Mei Family immediately stopped Mian Niang who was really going to cook, and said to Madame Song: "No, we will go back later, we cannot stay to eat. If we ladies stay, her second uncle will be the only one left at home, not to mention cooking, I'm afraid we won't even bother to boil a cup of hot water."
A Yunniang looked at Madame Song's smile and suddenly felt that it was a little dazzling. She couldn't understand why this mother would be so lenient and gentle towards others, or why she would be so critical when facing her own daughter alone.
It was as if she wasn't born with a daughter born in October, but instead an enemy with an irreconcilable hatred.
Thinking about that, she looked at Mian Niang, but Mian Niang acted as if she did not care about her mother's attitude at all, she only smiled at Mei Family's wife.
She was a woman who knew how to repay favors, but she was just a bit too stupid.
She was still deep in her thoughts, and only when Mian Niang called for her, did she come back to her senses, and realized that these people's attention were all on her, unknowingly.
"I say, you really have taught a good daughter. There's no need to mention this child, Mistress Cloud. She can take care of everything from home, and she's also very magnanimous. She's very easy to get along with."
Second Aunt of Mei Family's words had reached A Yunniang's heart. Praising her child was much more comfortable than praising her.
However, she only smiled and said, "She's still young and doesn't know much. She's only been around for a long time. You all think it's good. When the time passes, there'll be trouble for you all."
"That's not what you're talking about. Her wife lives in two different courtyards. I watched Mistress Yun grow up. She has a temper like yours, so she can't be wrong no matter what."
Madame Song Li praised him sincerely.
Unexpectedly, A Yunniang just sneered and said: "That's not certain. I thought Mian Niang had a good temper, but as your mother, I thought you didn't like it?"
Mrs. Song Li had an embarrassed look on her face when she said that.
Second Aunt of Mei Family's gaze swept over the few of them a few times, faintly understanding something in her heart. She hurriedly held Madame Song's hand and said to A Yunniang and her, "The two of you have a good relationship, and you also need to be humble. If you want me to say it, no matter if it's Mian Niang or Mistress Yun, they are both good kids. Both children were good. "Mistress Cloud and Yanzi will be the best days in the future. Just leave my words here. If you don't believe me, just wait and see."
She then said to Madame Song: "Sister-in-law, don't listen to the nonsense of the people outside and blame everything on Mian Niang. Some people have eyes but are blind, taking pearls as fish eyes, and do not know how to cherish them. Not afraid of hard work, not afraid of tiring, nothing at all. After all that has happened, I can't blame her in the slightest. If you have to blame someone, you can only blame Mei Family for not getting the good fortune to push a good daughter-in-law out to the outside world. "
"I …" Madame Song Li wanted to explain that in the past, she had only purely placed the matter of Mian Niang being abandoned and Wu Niang eloping on Mian Niang, that was not right. However, everything that had happened was because Gu Xin had set his eyes on Mian Niang, and everything that had happened afterwards.
However, it was not easy to tell others about this matter. After saying half of what she wanted to say, she swallowed it back.
In such a long time, as long as he thought of the man who passed away, and the son of the army, his heart would be filled with pain and grief. But in order to protect his family's remaining reputation, he could only swallow all of the bitter pails of water, but even so, Mian Niang was still worried and had to go and provoke Jiang Ting.
She coldly swept a glance at Mian Niang, and directly vented all of the anger in her stomach onto herself.
Mian Niang knew what she was thinking. All this while, because of these things, she had always felt guilty in his heart. She immediately lowered his head.
Seeing that, A Yunniang could only say that what he said was for nothing, this Madame Song still did not take it to heart, and immediately snorted.
He stood up, walked to Mian Niang's side and patted her shoulder, then said: "Take me to your room. It's been a long time since our sister and I last met, I have many things that I want to say to you."
Mian Niang raised her head, but could not refuse Xing Hua's insistence. She greeted the three elders in the room, then followed Xing Hua out of the room.
The door closed, and the Second Aunt of Mei Family heard the sound of the door opening and closing. She changed her posture, sat down beside the brick bed, and stared at the other two people in the room.
Hearing that, A Yunniang sat up, and Madame Song raised her head.
Second Aunt of Mei Family sighed, and said: "The first thing I did today was to talk about this marriage. We had hesitated for a long time before coming up with a solution that couldn't be considered a solution, and we felt that we should have a good chat with you. Sister-in-law, don't look at me like this, although we can't write 'Mei' in one piece, the fruits on a tree are sour and sweet, and the nine sons of dragons are not the same.
Madame Song Li had a premonition that she couldn't see in her heart, but A Yunniang was even more confused.
Before I came here, I already thought about it, you guys might not believe me, but, sister-in-law, it doesn't matter if you believe me or not, I want to walk through the door of your house. I want to sit on this brick bed, and I should say that I also want to say these words, or else you will suffocate me to death sooner or later. Second Aunt of Mei Family took off her shoes and actually sat on the brick bed with her legs crossed: "I am a natural born straight river crab, I won't hide anything when I speak. If I'm not wrong, I think you guys should just forgive me and not lower yourself to me."
Madame Song Li subconsciously looked towards A Yunniang. A Yunniang also vaguely felt that his words were familiar, as though he was just saying them right in front of the Second Aunt of Mei Family's entrance.
She also gradually had a premonition and guessed what Second Aunt of Mei Family was going to say. However, she didn't know if it was right or wrong.
"I know, A Yunniang is not an outsider, your two families have a good relationship with each other, right?"
Madame Song Li nodded. The more she laid the groundwork, the more Madame Song wanted to prevent her from saying anything, but it was not right to not let her say anything. She had always been gentle in front of outsiders.
"Speaking of which, this matter, you are also my eldest son's wife. Un, it's my Xing Hua's Wife who followed Mian Niang out. She heard it from your Cloud Mother."
As she spoke, she pursed her lips towards A Yunniang. A Yunniang did not know what had happened, but after hearing her words, he could only laugh and say, "It's not good for my Cloud Mother to be like this.
The meaning behind her words was that Mistress Cloud had been seduced by the apricot flowers. Second Aunt of Mei Family, upon hearing this, only laughed and said, "Mn, our family's apricot flowers are good-natured and kind, you can speak to anyone you want."
Her words concealed her support for her daughter-in-law. The two of them fought back and forth like this.
Inside Mian Niang's room, Mian Niang asked with a hint of shock: "The idiot is going to get married?"
"That's right, Mian Niang. Didn't you know that during the summer, the marriage was already set?"
Just like her mother-in-law, she took off her shoes and sat on the brick bed, looking around the small room. Mian Niang passed a bowl of hot water to her.
"That's right, we already decided on it in the summer. I just didn't expect to get married so soon."
"I didn't expect it to be so fast. Mian Niang, when do you think they will get married?"
Seeing that she was cold, Mian Niang took the small blanket on the brick bed and covered it with her legs.
"I've never thought about it. As you know, so many things have happened in my family recently. How could I have the heart to think about other people's affairs?" Mian Niang's face revealed a bitter smile.
"Someone else's?"
Xing Hua pulled Mian Niang and asked: "What if this is not someone else's problem? Does this have anything to do with you? Are you sure you don't care? "
"It has to do with me, what does it have to do with me?"
Mian Niang asked in surprise. This time, the almond flower actually had a troubled expression.
Mian Niang was even more surprised.
Xing Hua gritted her teeth, holding it in for a long time. Finally, she said in a low voice: "If he wants to marry you, are you willing?"
Before she saw him, she heard his voice, "Sister-in-law, it's me."
The person who came in from outside had a body covered in a cold wind.
It was Second Aunt of Mei Family and his family's daughter-in-law, Xing Hua.
Lady Song Li saw the two of them enter the room and was momentarily at a loss as to how to react. She could only blankly say, "It's you two?"
