When he thought of this bastard, Mian Niang felt more than once regretful that he had been soft-hearted at that time. However, if he were to do it again, she wasn't sure if she would still do it again.
The burden of a human life was too great for her to bear.
Fortunately, Gu Yue didn't come looking for her again after that, which made Mian Niang feel extremely lucky. Hopefully, it was because of Brother Ah's words that made Gu Yue retreat and stop bothering her.
There was only one thing that made her unhappy. Since she didn't know what was going on, Mother didn't take her refusal to heart into heart. She would take the Gu Xin's medicine and apply it on her twice a day.
He could only allow his mother to take care of it. Fortunately, the medicine was still in good condition, and after three days, she felt that her injury on her ankle was much better. It didn't hurt so much, but she could still work hard.
His daughter, who had just left home, came back home only a short while ago. Her daughter-in-law who came back in exchange for the bride went back to her parents' home. Soon, someone from the Song Family came to visit.
In a place as big as Tian Jia Wan's palm, everyone in the village knew who knew what had happened in less than a night.
Mian Niang's mouth was filled with impatience as she responded to all kinds of gazes that were probing him. Every time at this time, she would hide in her own small hut and concentrate on making Mother's embroidery.
The tofu hyacinth had an extremely good temper, he did not avoid these people's prying eyes, and only said that the family of three were all injured, so Wu Niang had no choice but to return to take care of them. However, he could not do anything, and could only bring Mian Niang back to his house to take care of him.
If someone else were to ask about Wu Niang, she would only say ”no” or ”good” for this daughter-in-law of hers. If they were to ask about Grandma Mian Niang and her husband, that would be even better.
His gaze unknowingly fell on the open window of the chamber. Inside the square window frame, he could see the female mother, who was currently working on embroidery, with her head lowered, revealing only her delicate and refined profile. She was clearly the same as the other female mother in the village, who had not read any books, but her entire body emitted a serene and obedient feeling.
”Mian Niang, you're doing embroidery?”
”En, Aunt Chen, you're here?”
Aunt Chen walked into the room, and did not touch the good silk handkerchief, but went closer to carefully examine it, and laughed: ”Tsk, tsk, Mian Niang's embroidery skills are so good, that she has learnt all of Your Mother's skills.”
Madame Song Li's needlework was the best in Tian Jia Wan, so Mian Niang had to pass her needlework to her, of course it was not bad.
”It's a pity. Why didn't I think of doing embroidery to subsidize the family in the past? If I had done it earlier, your family would probably have a better life now.”
Mian Niang said a little embarrassedly: ”Mother said this was even thought of by Wu Niang. How could we ever have thought of such a thing in the past?”
”Your mother-in-law has sold tofu for half of her life, even with hearing and seeing, Wu Niang still has more brains than the rest of us.”
Mian Niang only smiled, and did not speak further.
The Chen family's aunt observed the situation and probed: ”The Your mother-in-law sells tofu all year round. We often come into contact with each other. We are usually sharp tongue-tied, but I wonder how it will be for you?”
Mian Niang's eyes flashed, and said: ”It's pretty good.”
”Haha, with that mouth of hers, if she gets stronger, you won't be able to win, right?” Aunt Chen covered his mouth as she carefully observed Mian Niang's expression and eyes.
”Of course not. A woman with a sharp mouth and a soft heart is actually easy to get along with. You'll know when the time comes.”
The Aunt Chen nodded her head, but after she thought of something, she sighed and said, ”Then what about Elementary Scholar? His studies were so good, yet he actually caused me such a serious illness. He must be feeling really bitter right now.”
Mian Niang laughed bitterly in her heart. What she was most afraid of was such a kind-hearted way of asking, but on the surface, she was still smiling: ”Hubby knows what's good for you, your temperament is easy-going, and it doesn't seem to be bitter.”
These words were exactly the same as Madame Song's, watertight. The Chen family's aunt was almost completely convinced in her heart.
Walking out of the Song Family's gate, Aunt Chen sighed helplessly in her heart. If it wasn't for the Song Family's bad conditions, Mian Niang would have been a good wife.
It was a pity that his stubborn son still refused to give up.
She wasn't someone who liked to ask questions, but she had come here to make her son give up. Now that she had returned, she could just let that disappointing fellow in her family die from his curiosity.
After sending the person away, Mian Niang returned to the house and picked up his work.
Aunt Chen was not the first to ask her this, and definitely not the last. She was already used to it.
Seeing the first sum of money, Mother would definitely be happy. She had been lying on the brick bed for so many years and could not help out her family. Mother had always thought that her family was burdensome, but now she finally saw some hope.
