New widow

"Since it's a happy event, I'll ask the kitchen to add a few more dishes so that everyone can have a nice drink to calm down the shock." Grandma Wu walked into the yard as she spoke.

Suqiao also smiled at Wan Dequan and said, "Let's go, uncle, you always have to face these things."

No matter how reluctant Wan Dequan is, Wan'er has to get married, and how to live her life after marriage is up to Wan'er herself. Suqiao couldn't help but remember that before she got married for the first time, her uncle said that it would be a good match. If she could marry a scholar, then if he became good at studying, Suqiao would be able to be an official's wife.

But who would have thought that the man had bad bones and became seriously ill within two years. Suqiao served him day and night, but still could not save his life. As soon as he left, the mother-in-law changed her face.

"If anything happens to Wan'er in the future, uncle must take Wan'er back." Su Qiao blurted out. Wan Dequan had never been asked like this by Su Qiao. He couldn't help but look at Su Qiao, and then Wan Dequan said He let out a long sigh: "What kind of sin did you suffer back then to make you like this?"

Wan Dequan could no longer speak. Su Qiaocai's expression was like that of a frightened bird. What kind of treatment would she have to receive to make her look like a frightened bird?

"Those things are all over." Suqiao knew what Wan Dequan meant by asking her, so she could only comfort Wan Dequan. Wan Dequan looked at his niece, with guilt in his eyes. It was all his own fault.

"It's not your fault." Suqiao said softly, and then Suqiao smiled: "Besides, there is a happy event today. It is really time to add some good dishes and have a good drink."

"You two nephews, whenever you talk together, you talk endlessly." Aunt Wan had been listening here for a long time, and now she couldn't help but interrupt them.

"Qiaoer and I should have had a lot to say." Wan Dequan wiped the tears that had fallen from the corners of his eyes and said to Aunt Wan with a smile. Aunt Wan also smiled: "Yes, yes, it seems that you two nephews and uncles are close, but we are not close."

"Auntie, are you blaming me?" Suqiao also said with a smile. Aunt Wan held Suqiao's hand tightly: "How can I bear to blame you? For such a good child like you, Wan'er only needs to be half as good as you." I’m satisfied.”

The three of them had already walked into the courtyard when they were talking, and Wan'er happened to hear it and said coquettishly: "I don't want to listen to what mother said."

"Why don't you want to listen?" Aunt Wan let go of Suqiao's hand and reached out to touch Wan'er's face. Wan'er hugged Aunt Wan's waist and said coquettishly: "Sister is sister, I am me, sister The things I have experienced are not what I have experienced, mother, how can you expect me to be like my sister?"

"Sister, sister, these words got me all involved." Aunt Wan pinched her daughter's face, and Wan Dequan also smiled: "You are still acting coquettishly in front of your mother right now, but when we get engaged, you can You can’t act like a spoiled child like this.”

When the word "engagement" was mentioned, Wan'er's face turned red, but she still said stubbornly: "Even if I reach eighty, I am still a child in front of you, and I still have to act like a baby."

"When you are eighty and you have become a grandmother, how can you act coquettishly in front of us again." Aunt Wan sighed in her words. All parents in the world have the same heart. They wish they could live for a long time and then watch Let the children live happily. But such thoughts are just delusions after all.

"Wan'er, you are acting like a spoiled child again." Old Mrs. Wan also came out and said to Wan'er with a smile. Wan'er reached out and took her grandmother's hand, and seemed to want to say a few words. Old Mrs. Wan had already said to her son: " Is this marriage settled like this?"

"Yes, the matchmaker invited by his family will come to his door tomorrow." Wan Dequan was still a little depressed, so Mrs. Wan said to Wan'er lovingly: "This is a major event in the world, and you don't have to worry about it." It’s so difficult to see.”

Wan'er nodded obediently. Mrs. Wan hugged her granddaughter and said to Aunt Wan, "It's time to start preparing for the dowry."

"Everything that needs to be prepared is ready. We just need to find a suitable person to take Wan'er there." Although Aunt Wan was reluctant to marry her daughter, since her daughter was born, Aunt Wan has been saving some dowry, clothing materials, and clothing for her daughter every year. Jewelry and silver at the bottom of the box.

Every year, you have to save a little money and accumulate it over time, so that at this time, you can take out the money and prepare the dowry just by saying that you are going to do it.

"That's good." Old Mrs. Wan nodded. In this life, people grow from children to adults, then get married and have children. When the children grow up, they have to get married, and then the grandchildren are born. Play with the grandchildren happily, and wait until the grandchildren grow up to watch them get married.

It goes round and round, generation after generation, and those worries cannot be completely let go until the day you close your eyes, and you can take a good rest instead of thinking about them like now, whether you are awake or sleeping. These things.

"Oh, I don't want to listen to you anymore, I'm going to find Zhen'er." Wan'er was so shy that she turned around and ran away. Aunt Wan smiled: "Look, she's shy."

Then Aunt Wan sighed, among the girls in the world, no one would blush with embarrassment when it comes to getting married.

Wan'er ran into Song Zhen's house and saw Xia Yun standing at the window, seemingly thinking about something. Wan'er couldn't help but shout: "Sister Xia Yun, what are you thinking about here?"

"I envy you." Xia Yun said bluntly, Wan'er's eyes widened: "How can you envy me?"

"I envy you for being able to talk about your marriage properly. Your parents are very concerned about your marriage." Xia Yun's words made Wan'er smile: "Sister Xia Yun, your parents also care about you very much. In the last letter, I’m still telling you.”

"It's different." Xia Yun looked at Wan'er: "I am a son of the Chen family. Since I was a child, my parents have said that only if the master is merciful can I find a son-in-law outside. Otherwise, I can only wait for the master. I will marry whoever is good to me, whether he is a housekeeper in his forties or fifties, or someone in his seventies or eighties who wants a maid."

Wan'er had never heard of such a thing, and her eyes widened: "Is it true?"

"What are you talking about? What is real or fake?" Song Zhen lifted the curtain and walked in, her face full of curiosity. Wan'er had already told Song Zhen what Xia Yun had just said. Song Zhen said "Ah" and said to Xia Yun said: "So sister, you are living like this. If I had known earlier, I should have asked you over earlier."

"Every maid can live a good life, so what can't I do?" Xia Yun's words made Song Zhen and Wan'er look at each other, not knowing what to say.
