Chapter 254 The Last Wish of the Mad Educated Youth 8
Hu Yingwan suddenly had an idea. The child was eating noodles just now. The sound of his speech is different when he is eating and when he is not eating. There is no other child around. Was what she just heard the child's inner voice?
Hu Yingwan's eyes widened as she stared at Changan. Changan was puzzled by her gaze and thought, "What is this sister doing? There are only two mouthfuls of noodle soup left in the bowl, and they can't be separated."
Gu Laoliu: His daughter is so slow to react. People brought it to her face and reminded her that they could hear her inner thoughts, but his daughter didn't even notice.
Hu Yingwan looked away a little embarrassedly. Thinking of what he had just heard, he hesitated for a moment and handed the food in his hand to Changan, "I'm giving it to you to eat. Stay away from your father when you eat, or you'll starve to death."
Changan: ??? Did Laoliu provoke her?
After a while she realized that this sister saw her father stealing her noodles, so she thought that she had a crazy father and that she was a poor little girl who was hungry and cold.
"I think you may have misunderstood. The person you should remind might be my father," Aunt Zhang put two-thirds of the noodles into her bowl, leaving only half a bowl for her father.
The noodles made by Aunt Zhang were delicious. After he finished eating what was in his bowl, he started stealing what was in her bowl.
"Ah? Oh, that's possible, maybe I misunderstood," Hu Yingwan put down his things and trotted away.
"Hey, little sister, take your things away. I didn't give you a return gift." Isn't it good for each of them to eat their own food? She would feel embarrassed if she didn't give you a return gift.
Hu Yingwan waved back and said from a distance, "No need to return the gift, I'll treat you to a meal."
Well, don't be embarrassed, her father can testify that it was the heroine who gave the land voluntarily.
The more Hu Yingwan thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. She took a smaller route. Now was the time when every household was preparing dinner, and she wanted to confirm whether what Chang'an said was true.
Luck is a very metaphysical thing. Perhaps Hu Yingwan's halo is greater than He An's. The He family's kitchen is next to the three-foot alley on the other side. She squatted under the kitchen window and listened to the people inside.
The people who cooked in the He family were He An's two younger sisters and He An's mother. The aroma of steamed bacon wafted out from the window. Hu Yingwan touched her stomach, feeling a little hungry. She should have taken two pieces of peach cakes from her net bag to eat.
The mother and daughter in the kitchen happened to be talking about Hu Yingwan. He Damei always spoke loudly, "Mom, it's New Year's Day today, why hasn't Hu Yingwan given us a New Year's gift yet?"
"I heard from her mother that she went to the county town. Maybe she will be sent here later. Watch your mouths and don't ruin things for your brother," He's mother admonished her two daughters while cutting vegetables, fearing that they would scare away the enemy.
"I know, mother. When she gets married, her beautiful clothes and hairpins will be ours. I saw her wearing a pair of particularly beautiful leather shoes yesterday. She is such a spendthrift that she doesn't even consider my brother's money as money."
He's mother was also very unhappy after hearing this, and felt that Hu Yingwan was really a spendthrift. "When your brother comes back, let him take Hu Yingwan's salary and let your brother manage the money himself."
How dare you? You are not even married yet? You want to take possession of a lesbian's things.
After hearing what Hu Yingwan heard, she wanted to rush in and slap them to death, but she held back. She wanted to hear what other words they could say that would destroy their worldview.
He Ermei said weakly, "Hu Yingwan has always refused to agree to my brother's marriage. Why don't we let my brother make it a done deal? This way, our family can save the money for the bride price."
"Second sister, I didn't expect that you don't talk much, but you pay attention to things." He's mother looked at her second daughter with appreciation. She never really pleased her. Whenever something happened, this second daughter could always think of a solution.
When Hu Yingwan married in and took over the housework, she let He Ermei go to school, thinking that her good brain should not be wasted. After graduating from high school, she could go to the city to work as a worker and marry a city man, so that she could help the family a lot in the future.
The He family asked for a high dowry, one hundred yuan, thirty-two legs, and a sewing machine. Does the Hu family treat their daughter as a golden doll?
Even if she could afford it, she would not. Her son was good-looking and good at earning work points. The Hu family should be grateful that he could marry Hu Yingwan, a useless man who couldn't even lift anything. Why did they want a dowry? That was a nice thought.
"Second sister, tell me how to make them cook the rice before it is cooked?"
"Hu Yingwan will be coming to our house with New Year gifts later. Mom, make her a bowl of sugar water. Doesn't the brigade have medicine for breeding pigs? Ask Dad to get some and put some in the sugar water for her to drink."
After hearing this, He's mother put down the kitchen knife in her hand and said, "Second sister, you come and cut the vegetables. I'll go find your father."
Hu Yingwan wanted to burn down the He family. She never expected that He's mother, who was usually very kind to her, would call her "Sister Yingwan" as soon as she saw her. The two sisters who were so sweet-mouthed actually had such vicious minds.
If she hadn't heard Chang'an's thoughts and had really married into the He family, her life would have been over.
Hu Yingwan's hands and feet felt cold, and she left the alley in a daze. It turned out that what she thought was true love was actually a calculation. Should she go and thank the child for saving her life?
She stood at the door of Chang'an's house, looking at Chang'an directing her father to chop wood in the yard. Her crazy father swung the axe and could chop anything except the wood.
Suddenly, she no longer felt sad. She had healthy parents, three brothers who took care of her, and two sisters who doted on her. In fact, love was just the icing on the cake. It didn't matter whether she had it or not.
Hu Yingwan thought this crazy man seemed to be more handsome than He An, so was she blind before? How could she think He An was the most handsome man in the world?
"Little boy, are you in need of a stepmother? What do you think of me?"
"Swish!" The axe in Gu Laoliu's hand flew out and got nailed on the courtyard wall.
Chang'an was originally squatting on a pile of firewood, but his body tilted and he fell down.
Father and daughter: What stimulated this?
Chang'an looked back and forth between Hu Yingwan and her father. The handsome and crazy nobleman and the charming and lovely girl seemed to be a good match.
"Stepmother, come in and sit down. Let's talk about the betrothal gift."
Gu Laoliu's pupils trembled. Oh no, his innocence would be in jeopardy. "Have you forgotten the courtyard by the ferry?"
In Hu Yingwan's ears, Xiaoyuan became Xiaoyan. She complained in her heart, this world is so fucked up, even a madman has true love, but her true love is rubbish, is it fair?
Gu Laoliu: Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?
Hu Yingwan: Forget it, I don’t want to listen.
"We are not destined to be together, so let's not force it," Hu Yingwan ran as if a dog was chasing him, almost leaving an afterimage.
Gu Laoliu picked up Chang'an and shook her to get rid of the sawdust on her body. He said seriously, "My daughter, don't make such jokes. It will ruin the reputation of girls. Besides, Dad has no plans to get married. Even if he really wants to get married, he should go back to the God Realm and find someone of equal status."
Both parties have equal strength and family background, and complement each other, rather than one party allocating resources to endlessly support the other.
Changan rolled his eyes, "Then you should continue to be single."
