Why marry someone when you are reborn?

After hearing the whole story, Auntie Deng asked Xie Wanqing, "So, regarding Ah Yun's imperial examination, do you want her to go or not?"

Xie Wanqing smiled bitterly: "Of course she does. She thinks so too. I'm just afraid..."

Thinking of those people's exclusion of Xu Yun and what happened at home in the past few days, Xie Wanqing couldn't help but worry: "It's just the beginning, and there are so many troubles. Who knows what will happen in the future?"

"I don't expect Ah Yun to be granted a title of nobility or a chancellor. I just want her to do what she wants to do. As her mother, I will support her no matter what."

"Why is it so difficult to live a peaceful and stable life?"

Aunt Deng smiled, picked up the sole of her shoe, rubbed the thick needle on her scalp, and then passed it through the hole made by the awl. While doing this, she said to Xie Wanqing: "My husband died early, but my family is well off. He is a live-in son-in-law. He broke his leg and our family couldn't accommodate him, so I bought him."

"Later, we had two sons. Although he couldn't do physical work, he was very caring and kind."

"I just thought that this is good for our family of four."

"Live in peace and security. When the children grow up, we can marry two daughters-in-law and have some big fat grandchildren. Then he and I can enjoy life."

"But I didn't expect that when Erlang was eight years old, he got sick and died."

"We have spent all our money. We have two little boys, one is ten years old and the other is eight years old, both of them are old enough to eat. I have the skill of slaughtering pigs, so I can barely have enough to eat."

"I just think that as long as I am healthy and have no disasters, my life will be stable."

"But within two years, those foreigners suddenly attacked and wreaked havoc on the village. When I heard that a village was robbed, I secretly dug a cellar under the pigpen behind my house. That's how I escaped."

"That night, almost all the men in the village died. The rest were cowards. Most of the women also...some of them got pregnant. As for the livestock and food, they were basically all looted."

"That winter, almost all the elderly people in the village died. Those who survived were pale and thin."

“At that time, I thought, life is really hard.”

Aunt Deng smiled again, her smile was somewhat bitter, but more calm and peaceful: "No matter how difficult it is, people have to live. If we can't live here, let's move to another place. I took my two brothers and left the village."

"Later, the Spark Army was established. To put it bluntly, the three of us joined the Spark Army just to have enough food to eat. Unexpectedly, our lives gradually got better."

"You know, Dalang and Erlang are going to the battlefield. I have dreamed of them covered in blood many times."

"You don't know how scared I am after what happened to Dalang."

Aunt Deng kept moving her hands: "I have also thought about asking Erlang not to become a general. Our family can take these rewards and go back to the countryside to farm, and we can live a good life."

"But I never dared to say this."

Aunt Deng looked at Xie Wanqing, who was already listening intently, and asked, "Do you know why?"

Xie Wanqing shook her head.

Aunt Deng laughed and said, "Because my husband told me that in life, there are always things that you want to do. Once you have done it, no matter whether you succeed or not, you have left a thought behind."

"I think he is right."

Xie Wanqing lowered her head and looked at the dense stitches on Aunt Deng's insoles. "But Ah Yun is impulsive and reckless, which is very offensive. It will bring disaster to her in the future. She is a girl..."

"What's wrong with being a girl?" Aunt Deng put down her insole and looked at Xie Wanqing seriously: "Women can also hold up half the sky. That's what Her Majesty the Queen said."

"We women couldn't come forward before," said Aunt Deng, "but now we can. Why should we hold it in?"

"It's true that you're worried about Ah Yun. But you said Ah Yun was impulsive, but I don't think so." Aunt Deng said cheerfully: "I like Ah Yun, she looks like me when I was young!"

"If you don't want to be bullied by others, you must learn to fight back."

"If he dares to fight you, you have to bite a piece of meat off him, so that next time before he attacks, he will have to consider whether it is worthwhile or not."

Aunt Deng snorted: "Those people are very smart."

"Ah Yun is doing this just to protect herself." Aunt Deng did not hide her contempt at all: "Sister, if you lived in the village, you would definitely be bullied to death."

Xie Wanqing was at a loss for a moment: "But we are not in the village now. If we offend those rich and powerful people, we will eventually..."

"Then you must not be afraid." Aunt Deng shook her head, looking at Xie Wanqing with a bit of disappointment: "The more you are afraid, the more people can bully you. If you are not afraid of anything, how can he control you?"

Xie Wanqing frowned and asked, "Then what should I do?"

Aunt Deng thought for a moment and said, "If it were me, I would carry a butcher knife with me. If anyone dares to bully my daughter, I would fight him to the death! Is there anything wrong with taking the imperial examination? The higher-ups have allowed it, so why are these people making such a fuss like toads?"

Xie Wanqing felt that she had learned a lesson.

But I also felt that what Aunt Deng said was somewhat inconsistent with what I learned since childhood.

But in the end, Xie Wanqing nodded: "Then I will not care about A Yun anymore. However, it is still too dangerous for A Yun to do this..."

She thought for a moment and said softly, "Old sister, can you ask your Erlang to teach my Ayun how to defend herself?"

Auntie Deng slapped her thigh and smiled happily: "That's right! That's right! If you are worried about Ah Yun, why don't we let Ah Yun protect himself? Ah Yun is ruthless and cruel, so it's really suitable for him to learn some kung fu!"

She said with some regret: "It's a pity that Ah Yun is a little small, otherwise I could teach him. In fact, Da Lang and Er Lang were both trained by me!"

That pig is much harder to kill than a human!

Xie Wanqing was speechless for a moment, but the scene of Xu Yun slaughtering a pig involuntarily came to her mind. She shuddered immediately and quickly shook the scene out of her head.

However, the two of them had already decided that Luo Zhan would teach Xu Yun, so Xie Wanqing went back feeling satisfied.

She decided to make a set of clothes for Luo Zhan as a thank you gift - this had to be done quickly, as the New Year was coming soon!

As for Aunt Deng, she turned around and went to her room to look for something, and finally took out a small knife: This is a boning knife, which is very useful! If Xu Yun carries it with him, it will be easy to hide!

The key is, this knife is sharp enough!

When Luo Zhan came back in the evening, Aunt Deng told him about this matter: "You have to go. If something happens to Xu Yun, their whole family will not be able to survive."

Luo Zhan was forced to agree by Aunt Deng.

The next day, he went to teach with a sour face.

Xu Yun also heard about this from Xie Wanqing last night, and got up early in the morning to prepare. It was only when he saw Luo Zhan's sour face that he realized that maybe Luo the fox was unwilling to do such a useless thing?
