Proofread by Claire.KK
Xiao Baoshan replied immediately, “I’m a coa.r.s.e man as well and I don’t have any money or background. How could I despise you; it’s just…”
“It is said that people get married under orders from their parents and with the help of matchmakers. We have been ordered to marry by our mother, yet you’re making excuses trying not to marry me, and doesn’t this mean that you look down on me? Now I have given you my virginity, but what did you do? You picked up a knife and asked me to kill you. You may as well kill me!”
Ye Xiaoxian pretended to be sulky, picked up the knife and threw it down to the ground brutally in front of Xiao Baoshan.
“…” Xiao Baoshan didn’t expect that Ye Xiaoxian could be so eloquent; having been told off, he was unable to speak another word.
He originally came to atone for his sins in a righteous manner, but after her criticism, it seemed that it was he who was trying to shrink from his responsibilities.
“It’s all my fault, so I won’t kill you.” Xiao Baoshan found himself so confused that he almost forgot what he originally came to do.
“Just call it a day. It’s almost dinner time and I have to go and help others, or grandpa will begin to scold me again.” After she had finished speaking, Ye Xiaoxian left.
She went out of the door, finding Li Hongmei eavesdropping. Li Hongmei tried to run away but it was too late so she had no option but had the nerve to smile awkwardly to Ye Xiaoxian.
“Ye, why didn’t I find you so capable before? Baoshan has been left speechless after what you said to him,” said Li Hongmei as she was walking.
Ye Xiaoxian just smiled faintly and didn’t say anything.
Ye Xiaoxian pretended to be sulky, picked up the knife and threw it down to the ground brutally in front of Xiao Baoshan.
Xiao’s dinner wouldn’t start until all the families were present. When it didn’t rain, they set up a big table in the yard. Elders and men sat in front of the table having dinner while the women just stood at the side eating from their bowls. If there were minors in the family, the women would often chase their children and feed them. They could only start to eat after they had fed the children.
