Xing'er held Chen Jiao's hand and looked at her with tears in her eyes, "Mom, please help me think of a way. I want to marry brother Xiaowu. Only if I become a scholar's wife, will no one dare to talk about us anymore?"
Seeing the prayer in her daughter's eyes, Chen Jiao felt only bitterness in her heart.
"Myolie, you heard it at the door. Baiyunxi and the others have told your father that there is no room for change in this matter. If we force it, we, mother and daughter, will not be able to stay here any longer."
"But mother, I really like Brother Xiaowu. Just help me. I know you will find a way."
Myolie shook her head with tears in her eyes. She was unwilling to give in. She had already decided in her heart that she would not marry anyone else.
"Xing'er is good. They say that parents order matchmakers. As long as my aunt doesn't nod, do you think Xiao Wu can disobey his mother? Unless he doesn't want the reputation of being a scholar."
Chen Jiao looked at her daughter, sighed deeply, raised her hand and tucked her hair behind her ears.
"If Xiaowu loses his reputation as a scholar, will Xing'er still want to marry him?"
Hearing her mother's question, Xing'er was stunned, lowered her head and picked at her fingers.
"As long as aunt agrees with our affairs, how can brother Xiao Wu lose his reputation as a scholar? If brother Xiao Wu recognizes me, can Aunt Bai still go against his son's wishes?"
Listening to her daughter's innocent tone, Chen Jiao shook her head, held her hand and patted it.
"Myolie, some things are not as simple as you think. In the past, I was too arrogant. I just wanted to find someone to rely on and let you live a good life. Now think about it, Xiaowu has become a scholar, and his status has improved.
The vision must be much higher."
"It is said that water flows to lower places and people go to higher places. This is what we think. Don't Xiaowu want to find a woman with a high family background to get married? I heard that Xiaowu is talented in reading and may be admitted to the Juren Examination in the future.
The top scorer."
"At that time, many girls want to marry him, and girls like us who grew up in the countryside may not be worthy. Rather than suffer the consequences, be disliked by others, and be looked down upon by others, it is better to just let him go.
If you find an honest and reliable husband who only cares about your son, a lifetime of harmony and beauty will pass."
After hearing her mother's plan, Xing'er shook her head and refused without thinking.
She took out her hand, shook her head and took a few steps back, staring at Chen Jiao with tearful eyes.
"Mom, I don't want to marry. I don't want to find anyone to marry. I like brother Xiao Wu and I want to marry him. No matter whether he is a scholar or a champion in the future, I will be his wife."
"Myolie, don't be stupid. If Xiao Wu becomes an official in the future, his wife will not only be an official's daughter, but also a famous lady. She cannot be compared to a country girl like us."
"I don't care, I just want to marry Brother Xiaowu. As long as Brother Xiaowu protects me, no one else can do anything to me?"
She wants to be Brother Xiaowu's first wife, and only Brother Xiaowu can protect her. If she gets her wish, no one will dare to look down on her anymore.
Chen Jiao looked at her daughter's stubborn temper and sighed. Before she could speak, a cold reminder sounded at the door,
"Others can't do anything to you, but what Xiaowu needs is a good wife. How can you help him? What will you do? As long as Xiaowu sings all the way up, his wife is the same as him
, is a capable woman.”
The two of them turned their heads suddenly and looked at Mrs. Zhang at the door, their faces flushed. They just talked, and they didn't know when Mrs. Zhang stood at the door, and they didn't know how much she heard.
Seeing the frightened expressions of the two of them, Mrs. Zhang touched her nose innocently. Next to her stood the old lady Bai with her lips curled up.
"No wonder you and your daughter are so sneaky every day. It turns out you are attracted to Xiaowu. You don't even urinate and take pictures. What kind of virtue are you, and you dare to think of a scholar?"
Bah~, you shameless bitch, you know you have no good intentions.
Seeing her mother-in-law's disdainful eyes, Chen Jiao's face turned red, "Mom, Myolie is still young, you can't say that to her."
"Bah~, you little one, you know that Xiao wants a man and you are still young..."
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Mrs. Zhang. Saying this kind of thing too much would not be good for anyone.
"Second aunt, don't act like a child, just think about it."
As she said that, Mrs. Zhang handed her the basket of green vegetables she had brought, "I just pulled them from the ground and brought some to my second uncle."
"If you are serious, you can still think about me. Unlike some cheap men who just seduce men by themselves, they also teach their daughters to seduce together..."
"Mom, what did you say in front of the child?"
Chen Jiao flushed, and raised her voice to interrupt her mother-in-law's scolding. This old woman had always looked down on her, and if she took advantage of her this time, she might even create something wrong.
Seeing the confrontation between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhang shook her head.
"Second Auntie, if you can't finish the green vegetables, it would be nice to dry them in the sun. You go and pick them first. I'll say a few words to Chen Jiao and I'll go over and help you in a moment."
Old Mrs. Bai glanced at Chen Jiao, then turned to look at Mrs. Zhang, "What's there to talk about with such a person?"
After all, I picked up the basket and left.
Ms. Zhang watched her second wife leave, then turned to look at Chen Jiao and her daughter.
"Today I have become a villain and said something I shouldn't have said. Don't argue, mother and daughter. Xiaowu's other half must be a well-educated and reasonable woman, not someone like you who can do nothing but cry when something happens.
Won't."
"Not only can you not help him, you may also bring him down. Don't say that Xiao Wu Niang disagrees. Even I, an outsider, don't want you to drag Xiao Wu down. Because he is not only the hope of my aunt, but also the hope of the Bai family."
When she came back from her aunt's house, she felt uneasy and thought of coming over for a visit, but she didn't expect to hear this. Anyway, she wanted to beat them again to make them give up.
Listening to Zhang's tone, Chen Jiao's face turned red, especially Xing'er, who almost collapsed to the ground with a look of despair.
After a while, he raised his hand to touch his cheek and murmured,
"It's because I have a bad background, and it's because I'm not worthy of Brother Xiao Wu."
Chen Jiao: "..."
Mrs. Zhang sighed, it was unlucky for a good girl to meet an unreliable mother like Chen Jiao.
"Xing'er, you are a sensible girl, but you just haven't thought about it for the time being. You and Xiao Wu are cousins in name only, and they are destined to have no results. If anything is spread, both you and the Bai family will be accused.
Point and poke in the spine.”
"It is said that a person lives with one breath, and a Buddha lives with a stick of incense. As a human being, you must hold your chest high and be upright. Moreover, getting married is not a matter of two people, but the union of two families."
"It's good to have two surnames, not to have a grudge."
Hearing Zhang's tone, Chen Jiao was startled and turned to look at her, her face getting hotter and hotter.
