If that was the case, then she was really rich. Xia Xiaochan was farm girl, and due to her long period of work, her skin was naturally not considered tender and tender, but the changes today were truly a pleasant surprise. Of course, beauties and the like were not important, but most importantly, his future body should be very healthy, right?

In this world, what could be better than health?

Xia Xiaochan wanted to bring another bucket of water to take a bath after she was done, but she knew that if she brought another bucket of water to take a bath, she would definitely be scolded.

Thus, after washing up, she silently returned to her room.

Under Xia Xiaochan's bed, in a wooden box, was a small copper mirror.

Xia Xiaochan took out a palm-sized copper mirror to look at herself. When she looked at herself in the mirror, although she couldn't see it clearly, Xia Xiaochan couldn't help but be stunned.

The figure in the mirror didn't seem to have changed much, but if one looked closely, they would be attracted by the girl's pair of eyes in the mirror.

It was a pair of watery eyes, with a clear and limpid gaze.

However, Xia Xiaochan was not a real ten-year old child after all. A moment later, she silently put away her only possession, this small bronze mirror.

When she went downstairs, she intentionally covered her forehead with her bangs and took away the dust on the side. She resisted the nausea and made her face and hands look like dust.

When she went downstairs and saw her ashen face, although Lady Faang felt that Xia Xiaochan had changed a bit, she didn't think too much about it.

That night, Xia Xiaochan ate a small bowl of thin porridge. The food was a wild bamboo shoot that she dug out and had only sprinkled a little salt on it. It didn't taste too good.

The night passed in silence.

The next day, a piece of news shocked Xia Xiaochan.

Lady Faang said noisily, ”What? Lee Congwen of Lin Village wanted to marry Xiaochan, that damned girl? You can even not give me a dowry? ”

Xia Xiaochan was also shocked when she heard this.

Xia Xiaochan hadn't thought that Lee Congwen, a famous person from all over the country, her ex-husband, would come to propose marriage right now.

Xia Xiaochan remembered very clearly that Lee Congwen only came to propose after picking and choosing for two years.

The reason he chose him was because at that time, he had already helped his family live a good life. He had taken a fancy to his abilities, and was like a golden chicken that could lay golden eggs, which was why he came to propose.

At the beginning, when he found out about the marriage proposal, he was very happy. He looked refined, gentle, and courteous, but his scholarly aura really made farm girl look up to him. To be more practical, they were basically on the same level.

When they heard the news, everyone thought she was lucky, that her toad had stuck in his flower.

When he said that he didn't have enough money for the betrothal gift because he bought a pen, ink, and paper, he was also foolish enough to give his private room to him as a bridal gift.

He had originally thought that this man would be a bit reserved, but who would have thought that this man would immediately take over his private room and use it as a betrothal gift.

Back then, because of the betrothal gift and Lee Congwen's title of Elementary Scholar, the people of Xia Family had almost immediately agreed to this marriage.
