C180 I just want to talk to you
I just want to have a word with you
Why would Mian Niang be afraid of him? It was true that she couldn't bear to beat him up, but there was no reason for him to threaten her either.
He stood up, dusted off his clothes, and picked up the bucket to fetch more water.
Seeing that she was about to leave after speaking to him, Song Zhien could not sit still anymore. He immediately jumped to the ground and chased after her.
"Good Sis A, don't leave. Just tell me what's going on."
"I'm not saying. You should go and tell Mother."
Mian Niang said and then removed his hand.
I promise I won't say a single word. Sis A, just tell me, what exactly is going on?
Mian Niang looked at him in shock. She did not know why she would think of such a level when it was just a mere dagger.
"You don't have to look at me like that. This isn't something hard to guess. "Even though I'm young, I'm not really stupid."
Song Zhien's expression was gloomy, at this point, he simply spoke out everything: "I know that you are being bullied outside, and that those people are speaking ill of you, if not for the fact that you were bullying viciously, why would you take out a dagger and place it by your side, the whip in your hand is enough, Sis A, tell me the truth, are you troubled by people the last time you entered the city?"
He was talking about the matter of Mian Niang being surrounded and attacked by the people that Wu Niang called over. At that time, Mian Niang did not tell him the truth, she only said that she was tricked by the fall.
However, he was already exposed, and Mian Niang did not know what to say. Fortunately, he was his younger brother, and was not some random person beside him, so he was able to point at his forehead and say the words "you!" in such a short time, causing Mian Niang to explain the cause and effect of sending the dagger to him.
"It's from Mr. Jiang?"
knew that in his heart, the Mr. Jiang held a supreme status. In fact, in his heart, he treated the Mr. Jiang with extreme respect, and did not blame his younger brother. He only nodded in confirmation.
Song Zhien was even more unwilling to let go as he played with him for a few days.
"I can't give it to you." Mian Niang took the chance and snatched the dagger back. This time, it was Song Zhien's turn to be anxious.
"Sis A …"
"I will never forget the matter of you going to the Mei Family in my entire life. I'm not afraid of any danger, I was only afraid that if you acted on impulse and put yourself in danger, and did not let you see this, I was afraid that you would do something wrong."
When the matter of past events was brought up again, Song Zhien's hands drooped down, and his expression immediately became depressed.
I know that it was my fault then. I am not a three year old child, and will never do something as foolish as that again. Sis A, I will remember this lesson.
Mian Niang saw that he had admitted her wrongs, and felt her heart soften. She tucked the hair at the side of his temples behind her ears and said softly, "You are still young, you don't know what happened, and your mistakes were unintentional. Don't worry."
"How could it not be important? It almost caused Sis A to lose your life on the spot. If not for my good luck, and I met Mr. Jiang, I'm afraid … " As he spoke, his tears actually began to fall. "Sis A, don't worry, I won't be so impulsive again. We aren't people who get saved by Mr. Jiang every time Yun Qi is so good."
thought for a while before he understood what he meant. In that moment, all sorts of feelings welled up, and as he thought back to what happened two days ago, he sighed.
But just like what his brother said, they were not always lucky enough to encounter Mr. Jiang and be saved in time. If it wasn't for Mr. Jiang at that time, the family of three would have already become ghosts under the blade.
Mr. Jiang only said that he had to settle the matter, he did not know how it would turn out.
She still had to find an opportunity and ask around in the county, but now she didn't dare to enter the city easily.
"Sis A, do you think that Mr. Jiang will really come back in the future?"
Song Zhien held Mian Niang's hand, still not forgetting about Jiang Ting: "The matter of him teaching me martial arts, should still be decided, right?"
"Who knows? When it comes to martial arts, the most important thing is to study well."
"Got it. You talk about your homework all day. Can you not treat me like a three year old child who doesn't know anything?"
Song Zhien made a face at his sister, then opened the door to look at Mother.
Mian Niang laughed, turned around and put the dagger back in her pillow, then picked up the bucket again to get some water.
When he returned and saw that Madame Song's chopsticks had been washed clean and placed in the cupboard, he was finally able to relax.
In the entire Tian Jia Wan, there were only a few dozen families living there, with a stomp on the east side and a tremble on the west side, as if there was something new going on. Anyone's house could fly as fast as if they had grown wings, and Mian Niang heard several aunties discussing Chen Erniu wanting to see the Gu Family's maidservants in the morning.
There were also those who were good enough to ask her about the Gu family's maidservant. She had never heard of him before, but she knew exactly what kind of person he was. However, he was stopped by someone beside him.
Chen Erniu's thoughts were not a secret in the Tian Jia Wan, at that time, everyone thought it was a pity, but they never mentioned it, afraid that it would affect the two young men's reputation.
Now, seeing Chen Erniu matchmaking with another wife, she once again felt that it was a pity, and was afraid that Mian Niang might feel uncomfortable in her heart.
Mian Niang could not argue, and could only bear with it as she continued to sell her tofu to the crowd. When they were close to the Chen family residence, she initially wanted to go around, but Chen Erniu stood at the entrance and glared at her.
He looked like he had been betrayed.
The corner of Mian Niang's mouth twitched a few times. Taking a detour again would make things a little worse, so she could only hurry the donkey cart to walk past Chen Erniu.
Being stared at by a pair of eyes, Mian Niang felt goosebumps all over her body.
Mian Niang kept on walking but she still did not withdraw her gaze.
He knew that there was no fate between him and Mian Niang, and once the marriage was set, there would no longer be any possibility in the future. However, he was still unwilling to give up, and just stood at the door, thinking that if she even glanced at him once, he would be able to turn around and say goodbye to his father. He only wanted Mian Niang.
However, Mian Niang never even looked at him from the beginning till the end. It was possible that she did not even notice that he was wearing a new set of clothes.
Chen Erniu was very disappointed, but other than that, a sliver of rejoicing emerged.
If Mian Niang really turned around and looked at him, and even told him not to marry anyone else, he wasn't even sure if he would have the courage to fight for it with her parents.
Aunt Chen in the courtyard had already begun to call him son.
With a complicated look in his eyes, Chen Erniu's figure disappeared from his line of sight. Chen Erniu exhaled heavily, unwillingly answered, and turned around to return to the courtyard.
Aunt Chen held a feather duster in her hand. Seeing his son's expression, she lifted her eyelids and looked at his son to clean him.
"Such a big person already, I wonder how you'll take care of him. This new set of clothes has only just been made. Look at you, just where did you grind it off?" Even though the young lady of the Gu family is just a servant, she has an uncle who is acting as her butler. If this marriage succeeds, then you brothers can work outside and take advantage of her, if it wasn't for the fact that she sees our family as having a good situation, then it wouldn't be your turn. Once she sees someone, she will do something about it, and she will have a good eye for nothing.
Chen Erniu did not dodge, and only allowed his mother's feather duster to hit on his body.
When Aunt Chen saw his expression, she immediately knew what was on his mind. She reached out to push him, and said in a low voice: "Let me tell you, just kill your heart, at that time when Mian Niang was not married, both of you, Your Abba, did not agree. Now that Mian Niang is abandoned, don't even think about it."
"Don't you like her?" When she said this, the unwillingness in Chen Erniu's heart once again took the upper hand.
"I like her, but that doesn't mean I want this daughter-in-law of mine. Let's not talk about her bad reputation after being abandoned, just tell us who in her family can afford to help her. Normally, we would try our best to help those who can, even if it's to the best of our ability. However, we shouldn't do more than others, in order to avoid people gossiping about us.
"You, you died too early, not only did you two have no fate, I mentioned your matter at the well yesterday,'s face did not change, he doesn't even have any thoughts towards you, if you are doing this for her good, stop thinking about such useless things, so as to not implicate her."
Chen Erniu was dispirited, feeling that he was a duck that had been caught in a trap.
Aunt Chen still did not have any confidence in herself, so she decided that she would find a day to have a good talk with Madame Song Li, and let her teach Mian Niang a lesson so that she would not cause any trouble, making both families unable to calm down.
Chen Erniu did not know what his mother was thinking about, and was annoyed by her nagging. She pushed away the feather duster that was resting on her body and entered the house, but unexpectedly, her father lectured her a little, making her even more unhappy.
The Aunt Chen entered the house and led the eldest daughter-in-law to clean the house again.
New daughter-in-law, who had yet to meet Yue Yang, had already suppressed him. eldest daughter-in-law was not satisfied, and did not dare to complain in front of parturient mother-in-law, so he could only glare at Chen Erniu fiercely.
eldest daughter-in-law's heart was even more dissatisfied. She muttered to his husband, "I really want to see what kind of Heavenly Immortal descended from the heavens to make your entire family wish to become the Queen Mother's worshippers."
Why would Mian Niang be afraid of him? It was true that she couldn't bear to beat him up, but there was no reason for him to threaten her either.
He stood up, dusted off his clothes, and picked up the bucket to fetch more water.
Seeing that she was about to leave after speaking to him, Song Zhien could not sit still anymore. He immediately jumped to the ground and chased after her.
