Whose little lady is so crazy?

Chapter 456 That is the Second Daughter of the Tang Family
"Although she is a concubine, it is still considered marrying off a daughter. I just don't know if his family would be embarrassed to hold a banquet for a concubine."

"It must be held. If we don't hold a wedding banquet, how can we collect the money? We are all counting on the income to help the two boys below get married. Didn't we inform everyone in the village when the date was set? Why didn't we tell your family?"

"What the hell, his parents passed away, his eldest daughter got married, his second son got married, my family was there to help and gave money for both funerals and weddings, but then my mother-in-law passed away, and I told his family about my daughter's wedding, but they didn't show up, and I didn't even get a penny back for the gift money. Don't even expect them to help with anything like that. They only know how to take advantage of others, no matter how thick-skinned they are, they won't dare come to my house."

"I used to think that their family was in such a difficult situation because of financial difficulties, but now it seems that is not the case. If you are not well-off and other families cannot afford to help you, no one will really blame you for helping them. The villagers also know that it is not easy. I guess not many families in the village will go to their family this time. This is not a question of being generous or stingy. No one's money comes from the wind."

"There is not a single good person in this family. Dayong is such a good kid. He worked hard during the busy farming season and chopped firewood for his family during the slack season. But in the end, he became a concubine for his uncle's son. He knew about Dayong's situation a long time ago, but he didn't agree and never said it clearly. He used her as free labor for several years. What a wicked thing."

As soon as this topic was brought up, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly exploded. Hong Xiaoduo easily got the two pieces of information she wanted to know. First, the girl who was being given as a concubine on the 16th day of the first lunar month was the girl that Pang Dayong had liked before.

Another important piece of information is that the girl’s character is indeed not good and she has a very bad reputation in the village. Listening to what has just been said, it has caused public outrage.

"Aunt, I also heard about the family you mentioned in the town, but I didn't hear it completely. This family is not very good, and how is the girl herself? Was she forced to agree to be a concubine because of the pressure from her elders?" Hong Xiaoduo seized the opportunity to ask the key question.

As long as the girl is good, she will find a way to help the two lovers get together.

"Young lady, have you heard about this in town? Look, this is what they call bad news spreads a thousand miles. Young lady, you don't know that the second daughter of Tang Dong's family is not as weak and useless as her eldest sister. She is a person with her own ideas. She looks okay, and as for Pang's Dayong, if she insists on marrying him, her father will have no choice but to refuse to give her a dowry and make things a little difficult for Dayong on the betrothal gift.

But, the second girl was too determined. After two years of getting along, she was sure that she would not have a good life if she married Dayong, so she agreed to be the concubine of his uncle's son."

"Yes, everyone in this area has heard about the divorced woman from the Pang family. She was lucky enough to meet a wealthy nobleman. She started out as a wet nurse for his child and took good care of him. He even took her in as a concubine.

He has taken good care of her family over the years. The good life the Pang family has today is all thanks to that son-in-law.

The second daughter of Tang Dong's family is also a person with high standards. She was attracted to Dayong at the beginning, probably because of his mother's relationship.

Even though I had heard that the Pang family was not good to Dayong, I didn't expect them to be so bad that they were unwilling to pay even 180 taels of betrothal money.

I heard from my nephew who is a neighbor of the Pang family that the Pang family told others that the second daughter of the Tang Dong family was not worthy of Dayong, so they deliberately said they would not give a betrothal gift.

However, not long after that, she was brought back to be his son's concubine, and the betrothal gift was still 180 taels! The people of the Pang family were even more wicked and conscienceless, and they didn't even think about how they got their good life!

The most pitiful one is Dayong, that child. Alas! "

"If you ask me, the stupidest person is Dayong's mother. Doesn't she know what kind of life her own son has been living in her mother's home these years?"

Hearing everyone's indignation, Hong Xiaoduo was a little amused, because based on the speculations of these aunts and mothers-in-law, she could not be sure that the second daughter of the Tang family was willing to be a concubine of Uncle Pang Dayong's son. At this time, a woman sitting on the left of Hong Xiaoduo suddenly patted Hong Xiaoduo's arm, motioned her to look not far away, and whispered: "Young lady, look quickly, the one wearing a cloak is the second daughter of the Tang family."

Hong Xiaoduo looked over when she heard that. Tianshu, who was standing next to her, frowned slightly, looking at the pastry crumbs on Hong Xiaoduo's sleeves that had been patted by the woman.

Looking at Hong Xiaoduo again, she didn't care about these at all. Her attention was on the second daughter of the Tang family. Well, compared to the gossip she liked, a few cake crumbs on her clothes were nothing!

"Aunts, please eat first. I'll go over to take a look." After saying this, Hong Xiaoduo suddenly stood up and walked towards the second daughter of the Tang family who was not far away.

Huh? What is she doing?
The women and servants were somewhat slow to react and looked at Tianshu in bewilderment and confusion.

"Hehe, aunts and mothers-in-law, don't worry. She is very curious and likes to meddle in other people's affairs, but she will never speak nonsense." Tianshu emphasized quickly.

Although Tianshu was not very old, he understood what these women in front of him were worried about, so he told them very directly that no matter what Hong Xiaoduo was doing, she would never tell the second daughter of the Tang family that they had just talked about her family and said bad things about her family.

"Young master, is that girl yours?" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and someone asked curiously.

Tianshu glanced at Hong Xiaoduo's back and whispered, "Aunt, she is my aunt." He didn't dare tell these people that he called her mother.

However, you absolutely cannot call her your elder sister, because that would be too much of a generation gap!
Anyway, it is not uncommon for an aunt to be close in age to or of similar age to her nephew or nephew, or even younger than her nephew or nephew.

But it was different with his mother. Tianshu dared to guarantee that if he told them that she was his mother, he would immediately become the focus of their gossip the next moment.

After saying that, Tianshu quickly raised his leg and followed.

Tang Meixia, the second daughter of the Tang family, was just about to go to her fifth aunt's house in the south end of the village to learn some patterns. She had only taken a few steps when she heard someone talking to her from behind.

"Second Madam, please stay." Tianshu, who had chased after her, staggered after hearing Hong Xiaoduo's voice, even though he had long since gotten used to her temperament.

Was he not satisfied with the gossips told by the women and was actually looking for the person involved? Or was he still not satisfied and wanted to stand up for Pang Dayong and teach him a lesson?

Tianshu also had an illusion that there had been no trouble along the way recently, so she was bored and uncomfortable. Also, compared to the previous scenes where she would often encounter vicious bandits, robbers and pirates, it was indeed boring to occasionally encounter a few scoundrels and teach them a lesson...

Today is the Lantern Festival, which also happens to be the banshee’s birthday according to the Gregorian calendar. I didn’t pay much attention to it at first, but I found out about it from the blessing message in my QQ mailbox. Looking at the gorgeous fireworks everywhere outside the window, I just thought that they were blooming for me, the banshee. Hahaha, I feel super happy!
