"Mother-in-law, someone came to my house yesterday to say goodbye."

Xiaohua's face was flushed, while she was drying the medicinal materials, she whispered to Xu Yi, who was lying on the recliner with her eyes closed and resting.

"Um."

Xu Yi responded softly, seemingly not too interested.

Xiaohua has long been accustomed to Xu Yi's indifference.

Although Granny Xu was quiet and had a stern personality, she never beat or scolded her. Instead, she fed her a lot of good food. She was always very grateful.

So now when she encounters a major event that is extremely important to her, she can't help but talk to Xu Yi and want to hear Xu Yi's opinion.

"Yesterday, the person who came to propose marriage was the youngest son of Wang Yuan, the largest landowner in the area. I heard that their family has hundreds of acres of fertile land, dozens of long-term workers, and a distant relative who is a high-ranking official of the fifth rank."

Xiaohua spoke with longing in her eyes.

She never thought that she, who was born in a peasant family, would have the opportunity to marry into such a wealthy and wealthy family. It all depended on the skills taught to her by Grandma Xu.

The medicinal materials she prepares now can be sold in the city for at least five coins every month.

Although the money from selling the medicinal materials was eventually handed over to her parents, she still felt very happy.

"Wang's wife?"

Xu Yi slowly searched for information about Yuan Wang from his memory.

Although she looks like she is not yet 60 years old, in fact she is already in her prime, and the hidden wounds left on her body in the early years have begun to reappear, so her memory is getting worse day by day.

Half an hour passed, and Xu Yi finally remembered what kind of person Wang Yuanwai was.

She glanced at the young girl who was about to bloom, and said slowly: "The king's wife can't do it."

The medicinal materials in Xiaohua's hand fell instantly, but she didn't bother to pick them up. Instead, she looked at Xu Yi in surprise, "Why?"

She wanted to ask Xu Yi's opinion, but in fact she already had an idea in mind.

Wang Yuan's wife's family is well-off, and she can't find a good match even with a lantern. She has decided to marry into Wang Yuan's family, and her parents have accepted all the gifts.

"Wang Yuan's family is too complicated and not suitable for you."

Xiao Hua grew up under Xu Yi's watch. She has a simple heart and a simple manner. If she were to marry into the Wang family, she would be chewed to pieces.

"Wang Yuanwai said that when I get married, I only have to prepare medicinal materials every day. I don't have to take care of the housework, and I don't have to come to greet you every day." Xiaohua said anxiously.

In fact, there was another point that she did not say. Wang Yuanwai also said that as long as she was willing to marry into the Wang family, she could find a good job for Xiaohu in the town, and he would not have to worry about food and drink for the rest of his life.

Xiaohu is different from her. Xiaohu has no ambitions and no skills. Even the farm work is done carelessly.

If I can find a job for him, I can help my parents solve their worries.

Because Granny Xu doesn't like Xiaohu, Xiaohua doesn't dare to tell Granny Xu about this.

However, Granny Xu looked at her very strangely, as if she could see through her inner thoughts, and she couldn't help but lower her head to avoid Granny Xu's eyes.

Xu Yi slowly closed her eyes again, "I remember that there used to be a young man who often came to see you. That man is your perfect match."

Xiaohua looked startled.

She knew who Granny Xu was talking about. That person's name was Chai Jin.

Chai Jin is a hunter from the next village, and they met in the mountains.

She often went to the mountains to collect herbs, while Chai Jin went to the mountains to hunt. The two got to know each other after going back and forth.

Chai Jin followed his master to hunt in the mountains when he was very young. He was strong and powerful, and was a very capable person.

She also had her first love affair.

If it hadn't been for that accident, she might really have married Chai Jin...

"Brother Chai has never come to see me since he injured his right leg while hunting. My fate with him is over."

When Chai Jin went up the mountain last year, he fell into a trap set by other hunters in the early years. It was specially set up to capture large beasts. The huge animal trap almost instantly severed Chai Jin's right leg.

Although Chai Jin was found and treated in time, his right leg was still lame.

From that day on, Chai Jin never came to see Xiaohua again, and after Xiaohua was rejected twice, she never came to see Chai Jin again.

Moreover, Xiaohua knew that her parents would not agree to her marrying Chai Jin. Chai Jin was now a disabled person who could not even guarantee his livelihood, let alone provide help to Xiaohu.

Chai Jin is no longer suitable for her.

"You will regret marrying into the Wang family." Xu Yi said quietly.

"I won't. This is the path I chose. I won't regret it." Xiaohua said firmly.

Granny Xu had no idea what marrying into the Wang family meant to her.

This means that from now on, their family can change their appearance, break away from the peasant household, and become a wealthy gentry like Wang Yuanwai.

In the future, Xiaohu's children will be able to read and write like the landlord's young master, and maybe they will be able to get a good name and honor their ancestors.

This is an opportunity for a carp to leap over the dragon's gate, and she must seize it.

Xu Yi snorted softly, "Since you have made up your mind, you don't need to come to my place from tomorrow on. Just go back and concentrate on getting married."

"You want to drive me away?" Xiaohua said in shock.

"You've almost learned what you need to learn, and it's time to leave."

Xiaohua looked in a daze.

Granny Xu is right. She is getting married soon. The Wang family has many rules. She will probably rarely be able to go out in the future, and indeed she will never come here again.

Thinking of leaving this small house that made her feel so at ease, an unspeakable fear suddenly arose in Xiaohua's heart.

It's like knowing that after leaving here, the relaxed and happy days before will never be the same again.

At this moment, she felt a little shaken in her heart.

If she marries Chai Jin, Chai Jin will definitely not restrain her, and will even accompany him to Granny Xu's place.

She opened her mouth, but before she could speak, her parents' disappointed faces and her brother's angry look suddenly flashed before her eyes.

No, no, if you marry Chai Jin, your parents and younger brother will be angry.

She cannot be an unfilial daughter.

She took a deep breath, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xu Yi three times, "Granny Xu, please take care of yourself after Xiaohua is gone."

Xu Yi closed her eyes and said nothing, as if she was asleep.

Xiaohua slowly stood up, looked around the small house full of memories, and walked out the door.

"One last piece of advice, don't teach anyone the art of preparing medicine."

Xiaohua turned her head in surprise, only to find that Xu Yi still looked drowsy.

She pursed her lower lip and strode out of the cabin.

Within a few days, Xu Yi heard the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers coming from the village.

The high-pitched and cheerful joy was blown away by the wind and fell into the ears of everyone in the village.

Xu Yi turned her head and looked outside the door, where a tall black figure stood.

Xu Yi shook his head and hummed a tune he heard somewhere, "The journey is long and the soul is in pain, and the dream soul cannot reach the mountain."

Sauvignon Blanc is heartbreaking..."
