A burst of sweet fragrance suddenly drifted over from the cold air. Accompanied by the newly opened Red Plum Blossom, the slightly desolate street appeared to have an extra relaxed atmosphere.
However, just as he put the door board on top of it, a plump figure appeared at the door. Seeing that Zhan Xiaolou was about to leave, the figure immediately raised his voice and said, ”Lou, what did you think about what the aunt told you a few days ago?”
The moment Auntie Hua appeared, Zhan Xiaolou had a bad premonition. She had been in this country for 15 years and had opened a medical clinic in the capital three months ago. Auntie Hua had been proposing marriage with him the entire time.
A thousand years ago, there was still a lot of people living in this country, but six hundred years ago, a large number of women suddenly died, until the ratio of men and women became extremely out of proportion. The country's ruler had decreed that before a woman reached twenty years of age, she had to marry more than five men to become her husband.
And after this man who was obsessed with women married to a girl, not only did he have to raise the children of the woman, he also had to earn money to support the family, and he also had to live in peace with his other brothers.
When Zhan Xiaolou arrived here, she felt that Yama was very good to her. He didn't want her to live in a world where men and women were inferior to men, but when she turned 14, her troubles began.
Three years later, at the age of fourteen, when she was newly born into a filial life and had lived in the village for more than ten years, people came to the door one after another to propose marriage. The village chief forced her to marry her ugly son.
”Auntie Hua, it's not that little Lou hasn't considered the things you asked for. It's just that little Lou still has a fiance that she's set up since childhood. He hasn't married into the family yet, so …”
When her father gave birth to her, he was immediately targeted by a group of bandits. Fortunately, he was saved by a general who wanted to repay him, but the general wanted to marry his son when he grew up.
Soon, the general left Zhan Xiaolou's village, leaving behind only his jade pendant. Zhan Xiaolou had come to the capital this time to find out where the general was. Even if he wanted to marry, he had to marry the general's son first.
Hearing Zhan Xiaolou's words, Aunt Hua was stunned for a moment. However, then she remembered the difference between the son of a general and the son of his family. In the end, she sighed in her heart.
