Translator: 549690339
Under the oppression of the Sun Family for more than a decade, they had been living in extreme poverty, often not having enough to eat, let alone enough to accumulate any possessions. If Tong Tiehu were to marry Qiao Xiaomai, who knows if the Sun Family would extend their bullying to their household too?
It was one thing to observe the Sun Family’s shenanigans from afar, but quite another to become a part of their family through marriage. Not many people were willing to take that risk.
Moreover, after last year’s incident where the Sun Family publicly declared that Zhuang Luhe would get her comeuppance for her unfilial actions, and then Qiao Changshun ended up really breaking his leg, those who did have an interest in Qiao Xiaomai withdrew their marital considerations one after another.
On the other hand, Tong Sanlang, a famously handsome young man, was well-off, with his family owning a shop in town and a hundred acres of farmland. With such good conditions, he was more than capable of marrying a girl from town.
One was stuck in the mire, and the other was a radiantly shining moon admired by the surrounding villages. No one, apart from the delusional Zhu Cuiying of the Qiao Family, would ever think of linking Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang together.
However, now that Tong Sanlang had shown such concern for Qiao Xiaomai, Gao Xiaomei naturally couldn’t resist probing into the gossip.
A twitch appeared at the corner of Qiao Xiaomai’s mouth, “I have nothing to do with him.”
“How come he’s so good to you then?” Gao Xiaomei clearly didn’t believe her, “Tong Sanlang’s aloofness is famous. So many village girls have tried to gift him things, but he never accepted any.”
Qiao Xiaomai laughed dryly. “1 really have nothing to do with him.”
Seeing that Qiao Xiaomai was not lying, Gao Xiaomei’s eyes twinkled. She chuckled and suggested, “So it means that he has taken a shining to you now?”
Qiao Xiaomai responded with a tight-lipped smile, staying silent.
The Tong Family had been silent in the face of the Sun family’s years of bullying. But now after her sudden appearance, both Tong Tiehu and Tong Sanlang were exceedingly kind. Who knew what Tong Sanlang was up to now? “Oh my, are you shy?” Noticing that Qiao Xiaomai was just quietly smiling, Gao Xiaomei teasingly asked.
Qiao Xiaomai, “….I’m not shy.”
She spoke sincerely, but Gao Xiaomei misunderstood her words to be borne out of worry about the disparity between the Qiao and Tong families. Thus, Gao Xiaomei immediately comforted her, “You don’t need to worry. If Tong Sanlang really likes you, everything will be fine. His grandfather’s favorite grandson is Tong Sanlang. As long as he insists, his grandfather will definitely agree in the end.”
Qiao Xiaomai,
She really hated whenever someone brought up the topic of marriage. However, considering the special monthly supplies brought by Gao Xiaomei, this time, she endured it.
Suppressing the urge to walk away, she put on a solemn expression, “I don’t like him.”
When she said this, Gao Xiaomei exclaimed in a lower voice, “Why not?! Tong Sanlang is a catch in the eyes of all the unmarried girls for miles around. They’ve all tried to get his attention but can’t!”
“If I say I don’t like him, then I don’t.” Qiao Xiaomai’s soft eyebrows were furrowed together.
“Oh my gosh, you actually don’t like such an outstanding person as Tong Sanlang!” Gao Xiaomei couldn’t help but exclaim.
The hand Qiao Xiaomai kept hidden under her blanket came out again, crushing a pillow that had already been reduced to tattered cloth. She tried to keep her face as cool as possible and asked in return, “Then do you like him?”
“I already have Brother Aniu.” Gao Xiaomei giggled.
Her engagement was set in place last year with a lad from a neighboring village, with the marriage set to take place after this year’s New Year’s celebrations.
If she weren’t engaged, chances are she might like Tong Sanlang too.
However, now was not the time to talk about Brother Aniu. It was rare for Tong Sanlang to have feelings for a girl, and this girl didn’t like him. She had to get to the bottom of this.
“So, what kind of person do you fancy?” she asked..
