"You … you said you two are going to buy a house?
That, is it what I think it is? "
After saying that, the peasant woman patted her forehead. Really, she just saw a fairy-like person and wanted to make her Er Wazi's wife. She was hot-headed and made a big mistake. What was there to be ashamed of?
"…" Su Shuiche looked at the peasant woman in confusion. What did she mean by it was what she thought it was?
What did she mean by it?
"Aiya, it's that, I see that the girl's hair is still in a girl's bun. Presumably, you haven't married yet. But I heard that the girl wants to buy a house with this gongzi. That, that, are you planning to get married in our Flower Town?"
… …
"That … I'm sorry, I was too impulsive." Su Shuiche lowered her head and slumped her shoulders. She apologized to Lin Siyao in a low voice.
Now, in the quiet courtyard of the Lao family, only she and Lin Siyao were left.
The head of the Lao family, Lao Youkun, took advantage of the fact that the sun wasn't up yet and went to the fields with the plow.
The Lao family's wife went to the easternmost part of Flower Town to sound out the Hua family.
Before, Su Shuiche was faced with Aunt Lao's endless "marriage" theory. For some reason, she was hot-headed and nodded in agreement.
Since then, the mouths of the two elders of the Lao family were successfully sealed by her straightforward words. However, Su Shuiche stole a glance at Lin Siyao's face. His handsome face was expressionless. It seemed that she couldn't tell whether he was angry or not.
Lin Siyao was indeed not angry.
On the contrary, a trace of joy suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart.
Yes, joy.
When he heard Su Shuiche blushing but shyly saying "yes" to Aunt Lao, "I want to get married", he felt an unprecedented satisfaction in his heart.
However, not long after, she lowered her head and apologized to him.
Sorry?
Lin Siyao lowered his eyelids and fiddled with the teacup in his hand. Su Shuiche couldn't tell what he was feeling at all.
Su Shuiche frowned slightly and secretly regretted her impulsiveness.
So what if Aunt Lao continued to nag at her? So what if the two of them were living together without a marriage contract? So what if they were looked down upon by the villagers? She didn't care about Lin Siyao's feelings and blurted out the lie of "the two of them having a marriage contract". She was too impulsive and thoughtless.
Lin Siyao sighed inwardly. He looked up at Su Shuiche, who was burying her head in regret, and said, "I don't mean to blame you."
He buried the second half of the sentence in his heart.
"Really?"
Hearing this, Su Shuiche raised her head in surprise. Her slightly red eyes were filled with her tangled state of mind.
Lin Siyao felt a trace of heartache from the bottom of his heart. He couldn't help but nod his head. With great difficulty, he found his cold tone and said, "What you did was not wrong."
After all, a woman with a flying immortal hairstyle living alone under the same roof as a man of marriageable age with no family background. Who would believe that they had nothing to do with each other?
She was also being gossiped about for no reason. It would be very difficult for her to live peacefully here in the future.
It would be better to follow these people's thoughts and fabricate an excuse that the two of them wanted to settle down in Flower Town because of their marriage. From then on, those gossipy women would stop gossiping.
From this, it could be seen that she, Su Shuiche, handled it very well.
At the thought of this, a hint of a smile flashed across Lin Siyao's eyes, but he quickly restrained himself while sipping his tea.
And Su Shuiche, because he said "don't blame her", she also completely let go of her feelings of annoyance and self-blame. She learned from him and leisurely tasted the unique wild berry tea here. At the same time, her eyes turned and looked around the main room of the Lao Family.
… …
The Lao Family could be considered well-off in Flower Town.
In an unusually neat courtyard, the family of five had a total of three mu of land.
The eldest son of the Lao Family was already twenty-eight years old this year. He opened a blacksmith shop at the west entrance of the village and usually received ironware work from several nearby towns to make a living.
Five years ago, he married the eldest daughter of the Fang Family in Qingtian Town, but until now, he had no children.
Although the two elders of the Lao Family didn't say it in front of their eldest daughter-in-law, in private, especially Aunt Lao, who was eager to have a grandson, had long instigated their eldest son to divorce and marry a second wife.
However, the eldest son was honest and had a good relationship with his daughter-in-law, so he naturally didn't agree.
After the eldest daughter-in-law, Madam Fang, learned of the two elders' plan, she actually moved out of the Lao Family in a fit of pique and lived in the blacksmith shop.
The eldest son of the Lao Family also accompanied her and didn't go back to the Lao Family.
For this reason, the two elders of the Lao Family were so angry that they didn't go out for several days.
With great difficulty, they finally calmed down and wanted to go out, but they met the in-laws who came with two young and strong men to ask for an explanation.
In the end, the two elders of the Lao Family were the first to bow their heads.
They had to bow their heads. How much was face worth? If they didn't do well, they might even lose their lives.
However, from then on, the Lao Family's wife didn't have any thoughts about the girls in Flower Town and the villages around Flower Town. Er Wazi was already 18 years old this year, and it was already time for him to talk about marriage. However, he didn't agree to the matchmaker's lobbying. He was afraid that if he married Madam Fang again, he would get into trouble for no reason.
Therefore, today, when the Lao Family's wife saw the fair and gentle Su Shuiche behind her husband, her eyes lit up. At first glance, she could tell that Su Shuiche wasn't a native of Fanluo City. Moreover, she was also handsome, and her movements were not delicate at all. Looking at her charming butt, she should also be a woman who could bear children.
Therefore, Aunt Lao's eyes and heart were filled with Su Shuiche. Because of this, she made such a big blunder that made people not know whether to laugh or cry.
… …
On the way back from the Hua Family, Aunt Lao was still regretting.
She thought that her Er Wazi could finally find a good one, but she didn't expect that a famous flower was already taken.
Thinking about the man beside the girl, he was a bit handsome, but he didn't look like someone who could work.
Alas, if she wanted to settle down in Flower Town and find a man who couldn't do anything, the pressure was not ordinary.
Thinking about the girl who looked smart, how could she be so muddle-headed?
Being good-looking couldn't make a living.
Poor Er Wazi, the beautiful swan in his mouth flew away just like that.
It seemed that she should find Matchmaker Yang another day to line up. She couldn't really drag it out until she was 20 years old and still not find a wife.
If that was the case, it would be her family that would lose face.
With this thought in mind, Aunt Lao stepped into her own courtyard.
"Young Lady, Young Master, did you wait anxiously?"
Aunt Lao ran all the way into the central room and said to Su Shuiche and Lin Siyao with a smile, "There's a chance!
There's a chance! "
Without waiting for her to do it herself, Su Shuiche had already poured her a cup of warm tea and handed it to her. She said with a smile, "There's no rush, Aunt Lao. Drink some water to moisten your throat and calm down."
Aunt Lao drank the water in the cup in one gulp and felt a lot better.
Sitting next to Su Shuiche, she carefully explained the situation of the Hua Family.
