Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

Chapter 437 Proposing a Marriage to a Girl

"Old lady, come out and see what good things I bought."

Accompanied by a burst of rapid shouts, the voice of Old Man Wang came from outside the door.

This old man Wang is already over sixty years old, and the years have left deep marks on his face.

He has dark skin, a short stature, and a hunched back due to long-term labor.

However, he was in very good spirits, especially his eyes, which showed simplicity and kindness.

At this time, Mrs. Wang was in the room, persuading the girl on the bed to drink more medicine.

Hearing the old man's call, she quickly put down the bowl of medicine in her hand and ran out in a hurry.

As soon as she went out, Mrs. Wang saw Old Man Wang standing in the yard, holding a few feet of floral cloth in one hand and a box of snacks in the other.

Old man Wang raised the flowered cloth in his hand and smiled at his wife:

"Old woman, look at this cloth, the color is so bright!

Take it to your daughter and let her measure it so that she can make some clothes.

Even though we are poor, we can't treat the girl unfairly!"

Mrs. Wang took the floral cloth with great joy and examined it carefully.

Although this floral cloth is not made of expensive material, its color is very festive, a kind of rustic bright red.

Mrs. Wang walked into the room with a smile, came to the bedside, and said to the girl on the bed, "Girl, come and see what your uncle bought you!"

After saying this, Mrs. Wang gently helped the girl up, put the red floral cloth on her body, and then looked at her carefully.

"Auntie, why did you buy me some more flowered fabric? Didn't you just make this dress for me?"

The girl gently stroked the new floral fabrics, with a hint of anger on her lips and tears in her eyes.

"Is her aunt home?"

Accompanied by a slightly hurried knock on the door, a woman's shouting was heard outside the door.

When Mrs. Wang heard the sound, she hurriedly gestured to the girl on the bed and quickly walked to the door.

Before she could open the door, the old woman pushed it open and walked in with a smile.

The old woman was a little overweight and plump. After walking a few steps, she was already out of breath and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.

"Fatty, why are you here now?"

Mrs. Wang came forward with a smile on her face. As she spoke, she pulled over a worn-out chair and motioned for Aunt Pang to sit down.

The fat lady didn't hesitate and sat down, then fanned herself with her hands, took a deep breath and said, "Miss, how are you today?"

The girl on the bed hurriedly bowed slightly and turned back to smile at her.

Mrs. Wang turned around and walked to the table, picked up a chipped cup, and poured a glass of water for Aunt Pang.

The furnishings in this room were very simple. Apart from a tattered bed and a dining table, there was almost no other decent furniture.

The window on the wall was in disrepair and was blowing in the wind.

The fat lady smiled and said:

"Her aunt, here is a basket of eggs and some rice I saved.

A beautiful girl has come to your house, and this is my token of my appreciation for her."

Only then did Mrs. Wang realize that the fat lady was carrying a basket of eggs.

She quickly waved her hands, indicating that he didn't want her things anymore, as she felt bad about always having to pay her.

The fat lady refused to do so and still handed the thing to her tightly.

While Mrs. Wang was not paying attention, the fat lady fixed her eyes on the girl on the bed.

She turned to look at Wang Po again, with a hint of a smile on her face:

"Please don't refuse anymore!

The girl really needs some nourishment now that she's in our house!"

When Mrs. Wang heard what Fatty said, tears started to fall from her eyes.

She held the fat lady's hand tightly and choked with sobs:

“Poor thing, God saw that we were in a miserable old age and sent us such a kind-hearted girl.

But life at home is so difficult..."

Before they could finish their words, the girl on the bed staggered over to them.

The girl half squatted down and was about to kowtow to Wang Po, but was pulled up by the fat woman.

She had no choice but to hold Wang Po's hand and sob:

"Auntie, it's all because of me! You're wasting all this money...

Just leave me alone and let me fend for myself!"

Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Fatty hurriedly helped her to the bed, and they kept comforting her:

"You kid, let alone you, we would save anyone else with all our heart!"

The fat lady knew that the child was very thoughtful, so she took the piece of red flowered cloth and teased the girl: "Look, if this material is made into clothes for you, you will be like a fairy descending to earth!"

The girl laughed a few times and then lay down peacefully.

Seeing that the girl was tired, the fat sister-in-law winked at Wang Po:

"The girl is tired, let's go out and talk!"

As soon as the two of them reached the door of Fatty's house, Mrs. Wang thanked her and turned to go back.

Unexpectedly, the fat lady suddenly grabbed her and looked around mysteriously. Seeing that no one was around, she lowered her voice and said to Mrs. Wang:

"Her aunt, there is a Qiao Zong, which is a great thing. I wonder if you would agree?"

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she was immediately delighted. She thought that the job she had asked Fatty for a few days ago had been found.

So he quickly leaned over to Fatty's ear and asked her anxiously:

"Have you found a job doing laundry for the Li family?"

Seeing this, the fat lady pushed her gently and scolded her with a smile:

"You are such a fool..."

After being scolded by her, Mrs. Wang was suddenly confused. Why did she become so stupid?

She looked at the fat lady suspiciously, waiting for her to continue.

The fat sister-in-law coughed softly again, then stretched out her finger and carefully pointed in the direction of Wang Po's north room, and said in a low voice again:

"Look, in the north room...

Are you stupid? If such a beautiful girl remembers what happened before, will she still stay here peacefully?

It is better to arrange her marriage now while she remembers your kindness.

If the matter is settled, she can't leave. You will benefit from living in the same village."

"Auntie, please don't mention this again! Otherwise, be careful, this old man's shovel has no eyes!"

Old Man Wang's voice suddenly came from behind, startling Mrs. Wang and Fatty.

Before the two of them could react, they saw Old Man Wang striding towards them carrying a shovel.

He originally planned to go to the fields to work while the weather was still hot.

Old Man Wang saw from his own fence that the fat lady and the old woman were chatting animatedly, and he thought they were talking about village gossip.

When he got closer to listen, he found out that the fat lady was proposing marriage to the girl!

Old Man Wang muttered to himself, "I was wondering why this fat lady was so enthusiastic. So this is what's going on!"

Seeing that her old man was angry, Mrs. Wang hurriedly pulled him back to calm him down, and said to the fat woman with a smile:

"Her sister-in-law, you should first ask the girl if she is willing to do this?

We can’t say anything to them!”
