C167 (1/2)
Returning back to her own house, Xiaowan saw a face that was so red that it turned purple in the mirror. She splashed it with cold water from a water basin and felt that it was even hotter.
She pinched her arm with all her might, almost causing a dark green bruise to appear. It was so painful that she was trembling. Only then did she dare to be sure that she was not dreaming. Only then did she dare to believe that she was alive.
God must have made a mistake to turn her into a good person.
Xiaowan was happy, she was like a blossoming flower, anyone who saw her in the future would be able to feel the sunlight shining down from her body. She worked diligently and nimbly to help. She only needed to cover all the work that the Aunt Zhang and Susu did.
Since they shared the same feelings, it was unavoidable for the two of them to look at each other. Now that Ling Chaofeng only had Xiaowan in his eyes, he did not even look at the accounts and did not care about the business anymore. As long as Xiaowan appeared, he would chase after her.
In less than two to three days, everyone could see that Susu did not use the milk to feed the child after eating lunch that day. Da Qing enthusiastically gave up his seat so that Xiaowan and Susu could sit together, but was scolded by his wife, ”Are you stupid?”
Da Qing scratched his head in shock and was pulled down by Susu to sit down.
The big sized Uncle Biao took a seat at one side of the table while the Aunt Zhang brought Little Pei to take a seat at the side. Susu and her wife sat side by side.
Just as Xiaowan felt embarrassed, Ling Chaofeng actually pulled her hand in front of everyone and gently said: ”Sit down and eat, don't be busy.”
The Xiaowan was extremely embarrassed as she lowered her head to dig food into her mouth. She purposely said: ”Aiya, shouldn't we prepare a joyous occasion in our shop?”
She choked from the shock and coughed loudly on her back.
When the Xiaowan had calmed down, she pulled her into her embrace and said to his family: ”Then Zhang Luo, get up. Aunt, invite a matchmaker for me first.”
Xiaowan lowered her head deeply. Beside her, Little Pei delicately asked Aunt Zhang: ”Grandma, is Little Pei going to have a mother now?”
Aunt Zhang gave him a heavy kiss and said joyfully: ”Got it, got it.”
That night, Xiaowan and Aunt Zhang showered together. She rubbed her aunt's back as the two talked about their inner thoughts.
Aunt Zhang said, ”Although Chao Feng is not my biological son, I have watched him grow up. It has been more than ten years since he was born, and he has a thorough understanding of the situation. He was a person who would be strict and strict occasionally. He would always keep his word when doing things, but he was a loyal person who knew how to appreciate people's kindness. He is the same as Little Pei, the child picked up by the shopkeeper on his behalf. Now that he has picked up Little Pei and brought him back, it can be considered his inheritance. ”
Xiaowan was surprised. ”Manager Ling was also abandoned?”
Aunt Zhang nodded her head, ”Yes, father and son are both abandoned babies, but look, do they look like one? Some people outside said that Little Pei is Chao Feng's illegitimate child, and we would often joke around and think that it's true. It's really because father and son look extremely similar. ”
”It does look like it. Eyes and nose, exactly the same.” The Xiaowan laughed.
”Evening.” Aunt Zhang said sincerely, ”Chao Feng is a good man, he will definitely love you. Can you calm down and stay, so you can be our family's daughter-in-law?”
Even though the Xiaowan s had wanted to marry her to this place, they still tried to persuade her to stay. What virtue or ability did Mu Xiaowan have, and it could be said that she had saved her entire life's fortune here.
”Aunt, my heart is filled with millions of wills, but my stepmother …” Xiaowan said with shame and shame, ”She is a very powerful person, I am afraid she will cause trouble for you all.”
”Powerful what? He must be someone who bullies the weak and fears the strong.” Aunt Zhang said, ”If you marry her, you will be our child. What else does she want to do? If she dares to hit you again, I'll tell your uncle to chop off her hand and throw it into the mountains to feed the wild wolves.
”Aunt …”
”Good child, you and Chao Feng are fated to be together. Otherwise, why didn't he pick them up?” The Aunt Zhang laughed, ”You have become our wife, from today onwards, you will only live a good life. You should forget about the matters of the past.”
”En!” Xiaowan promised. She wished that she would forget about it, wish that she could never think of those days where she was beaten up again. Since the heavens had given her a good life, she must cherish those blessings.
The next morning, the matchmaker came from town. She was dressed in all sorts of clothes and looked happy. She had a sharp tongue and was very quick with her thoughts. When she came in for a cup of tea, she had already figured things out.
After that, he took a look at the inn, as though he was considering how much he should pay. Ling Chaofeng generously took out a bag of silver, which was a full 20 taels.
put down the silver and said: ”This is the betrothal gift. I will have to trouble you to send it to the's house for me.
The matchmaker was so happy that she could not even close her mouth. After praising the newcomer to such an extent, she brought along the silver and the carriage driven by the Uncle Biao to the Qingling Village along with the matchmaker and Aunt Zhang.
Inside the Qingling Village, Madam Xu was cursing and swearing about how Xiaowan wasn't home and had to do all the work on her own. Suddenly, a carriage stopped in front of their house.
