I should marry the traitor

Chapter 137: Fix the house before getting married
The discussion about Tian Mumu's marriage ended in vain.

Huang Guoer tried to put off Cui's mother by saying that she had encountered some unfortunate circumstances and had no interest in marriage, but she knew that this excuse would not last long.

After all, her current identity is a fragile rich lady, and a lady in distress.

It's okay to be reserved for a while, but in the long run you will have to get married.

Otherwise, they would have to leave the North and South Islands and find another way to make a living in the county town.

But this also has many problems. After losing her awakened bloodline, Huang Guoer's body may still be stronger than that of an ordinary woman, but she still cannot protect herself.

Huang Guoer's appearance is too beautiful, which is a sin in itself in the increasingly chaotic Daqian.

There are only a few families in this small village, so nothing can be seen. But if we show up in a crowded place, we will soon attract covetousness.

"Miss Tian, ​​the weather is nice today, do you want to go fishing together?"

Just when Huang Guoer was feeling anxious, the boy's voice sounded in her ears. She looked up and saw an innocent smile on the boy's face.

It looks really nice, but it's a silver gun with a wax head, so it looks good but is useless.

Judging from the appearance alone, Huang Guoer liked the boy's looks, but when a woman marries a man, she cannot just look at his appearance, he must also have some skills.

After all, Huang Guoer is no longer the governor of Dongyou. What she is looking for is not a male favorite but a man who can protect her.

If Zeng Aniu was not a fisherman but a warrior, even a warrior of the lowest level, Tian Mumu would still marry him.

Or if she has a slightly better family background and can hold a local official position, it doesn't matter if it's a small position. At worst, if she is wealthy and her clan has some influence in the local area, then Tian Mumu can also marry her.

After all, Huang Guoer is not someone who cannot see the situation clearly. People need to lower their standards for choosing a mate when appropriate.

But this price cannot go any lower, if it goes any lower it will not be sustainable.

No matter in prosperous times or troubled times, an incompetent man cannot keep his beautiful wife. If the other party is not capable enough, it would be a disaster for Tian Mumu to marry him.

"Do you like me?" Huang Guoer looked at the boy's slightly red face. The taste of first love was a little too sweet.

The boy gave Huang Guoer a very good impression, which made her want to play a little trick on him.

Hearing this, the simple fisherman boy's face blushed even more.

"My fair lady, a gentleman likes to be brave."

Although shy, she did not deny it and was quite frank.

"Have you read the book?"

“I read some of it when I was living in the north with my parents.”

"What about your parents?"

"Died in the war."

……

"Sorry."

After a moment's silence, Huang Guoer expressed her apologies. After all, she had no intention of mentioning the other person's sad story.

"It doesn't matter. I have brought their ashes back to their hometown. It is a good ending."

In this turbulent age, being able to return to one's roots is indeed a good ending.

Huang Guoer looked at the boy's innocent smile, and for some reason she felt a little pain in her heart, and then she put on a cold expression.

"I can see your feelings, but I'm sorry, we are not a good match."

"I need to marry a capable man, but your house is so shabby." "How can you marry me if you can't even take care of yourself?"

What was somewhat unexpected to Huang Guoer was that this young man named Zeng Aniu did not have the youthful vigor and vitality of ordinary young people. Instead, he lowered his head and remained silent.

There is nothing wrong with the name, Zeng Aniu, Zeng Aniu, he is honest and dull like a cow.

Without any rebuttal, Zeng Aniu turned around and left silently, without even saying a word of defense.

Are you giving up just like that?

Huang Guoer felt somewhat relieved and somewhat disappointed. This man didn't look like a man with great perseverance.

But it’s better this way. After all, Zeng Aniu really doesn’t have the ability to protect himself, and Huang Guoer is also relieved.

However, things did not seem to develop in the direction that Huang Guoer had expected.

Two days later, the New Year had passed.

Everything was calm and nothing happened, so Huang Guoer thought that the matter was over.

The fishermen in the village carried tiles, bricks, wood and other materials and walked towards Zeng Aniu's house in groups.

The originally broken and leaky earthen walls were patched up by craftsmen, bricks were placed on top, and new beams and columns were installed in the house.

As for Zeng Aniu, he climbed onto the roof, which was covered with green tiles that sparkled in the sun.

Zeng Aniu laid the tiles one by one in his hand. He worked very seriously. The gaps between the tiles were very small and they were arranged very neatly.

The fulfilling day passed quickly. In the evening, after everyone had finished their meal, everything dispersed, leaving behind a newly repaired house.

Although it has nothing to do with luxury or anything like that, it is now very different from what it used to be and is now a nice mud house.

After dinner, Huang Guoer found Father Cui and asked indirectly, "Uncle Cui, why did Aniu suddenly start building a house?"

Father Cui answered without thinking: "We didn't plan to do it so quickly, but Ah Niu came to me and said he wanted to get married, so we need to repair the house quickly."

"Where did he get the money?" Huang Guoer was a little surprised. She already knew Aniu's background, so he shouldn't have that much money.

"Miss Tian, ​​you forgot. When I rescued you the day before yesterday, my daughter and I dug you out of the ambergris. According to the rules of our fishermen, the money from selling the ambergris should be shared equally between them."

"I see." Huang Guoer was in a dark place under the lamp, and she forgot that whale shit could be sold for money...

It’s bad. I can’t think about this topic. If I think about it this way, isn’t her Phoenix Fruit the one that was dug out from there?

Father Cui looked at Huang Guoer's thoughtful expression, and then remembered Mother Cui's warning to her, and thought about Zeng Aniu's sincere expression, and finally said:
"That kid, Ah Niu, seems to take this very seriously."

"In addition to renovating the house, he also bought a lot of things in the city, all new and good."

"The money from selling ambergris is quite a lot, but if you spend it this way, it should have been spent."

"I don't know what Miss Tian said to Ah Niu in private, but he is a good and honest child. Don't lie to him."

"Although I also think that you two may not be suitable, but..."

"Miss Tian, ​​please think about it carefully."

Father Cui thought about Zeng Aniu's sincere eyes and finally expressed all his thoughts.

As for what Cui's mother said, he didn't care.

A forced melon is not sweet. If Aniu likes Miss Tian, ​​what's the point of forcing him to marry my daughter? Will my daughter still be unable to get married?
