Eldest daughter

Chapter 199

After Cui Yuan's suggestion, Wang Yuan'er has been paying attention to Wang Chun'er, who knows that since that day, this girl has been like an eggplant beaten by frost, withered, she lost weight quickly, and she was lying on the bed sleepy with the wind and cold .

"Chun'er, it's time to drink the medicine." Wang Yuan'er walked into the room carrying a bowl of soup and medicine, arousing Wang Chun'er.

Wang Chun'er's face was sallow, seeing the black concoction, the frown that was already tightly frowned deepened.

"Sister, I don't want to drink."

Wang Yuan'er stared: "How old are you, and you're still as petty as Lan'er and Baolai!"

Wang Chun'er forced a smile, took the bowl, closed his eyes and poured down the bitter medicine.

"Cough, cough." The medicine was poured down suddenly, and the throat choked, and he coughed a few times.

"Drink it slowly." Wang Yuan'er took the candied fruit jar from the drawer again, took out a pickled plum from it, and put it in her mouth: "Go and get rid of the bitterness."

This time Wang Chun'er was very obedient, the plums in his mouth were sour and sweet, which took away a lot of the bitterness in his mouth, and he couldn't help saying: "When we were young, we didn't have such good things to eat."

When I drank medicine when I was young, how could there be candied fruit to relieve the bitterness, but Wang Min'er and the others often had such a mouthful, making their sisters greedy, which is called jealousy.

"Days always get better as they pass by slowly, and things are the same. They will always become smooth." Wang Yuan'er stretched out her hand and brushed the broken hair on her face behind her ears, and said, "You have been growing up since you were a child." I love to keep my thoughts in my heart, and it's the same now, what can't I say to my eldest sister? They are all sisters who are close, so they must make themselves sick?"

"Eldest sister..." Wang Chun'er felt sore, she simply moved over and buried her face in her arms, her voice choked up.

Wang Yuan'er sighed softly, patted her on the back, and asked, "Do you like that Hou Biao?"

Wang Chun'er's body froze, and she raised her head with a flustered expression: "Elder Sister!"

"There is no one else here, just the two of us sisters, so you can tell me what's on your mind." Wang Yuan'er looked at her.

Wang Chun'er bit her lower lip, lowered her head, and said, "It doesn't matter if I like it, he doesn't have the same intentions." As he spoke, he remembered the scene where he persuaded himself to go to see each other. down.

"Chun'er, is it really him? There is a girl beside him..." Wang Yuan'er uttered a sentence with difficulty.

"I don't know. When I talk with him, I just feel at ease. He, he is also very considerate. Dan'er and I get along very well." Wang Chun'er blushed.

Wang Yuan'er sighed, and said, "It's fine if you don't regret it yourself!"

"Eldest sister?" Wang Chun'er was a little puzzled, her heart was pounding, and she looked at her.

"Take care of your body quickly, look at your little face, it's lost a lot of weight, I'll talk about it later." Wang Yuan'er changed the topic and pinched her face.

Wang Chun'er sniffed and nodded.

……

Hou Biao led Hou Dan to pay the rent, stretched his neck, and didn't look at the figure in a daze, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Wang Yuan'er saw it, glanced at Hou Dan, and said with a smile: "Dan'er hasn't come to play for a while, and your elder sister Lan misses you, so why don't you go to the house to find her? Your brother Baolai is also here."

Hou Dan glanced at his father, saw that she agreed, and ran into the house happily.

Wang Yuan'er moved half of her body away, let Hou Biao into the shop, and poured a cup of tea.

"Why don't you see Miss Chun'er for some days?" Hou Biao raised his teacup and asked in disguise.

"She's sick!"

Hou Biao choked, the water in the teacup in his hand shook out, and he looked at her anxiously: "Are you sick? Why are you sick? Have you seen a doctor? What kind of disease is it?"

He asked a series of questions, and when he saw Wang Yuan'er looking at him with a half-smile, he lowered his head, his ears turning red.

"Brother Hou has been in Changle Town for half a year, right? I don't know what plans you have in the future?" Wang Yuan'er refilled the tea for him and asked, "Aren't you going back to your hometown or something?"

For some reason, Hou Biao's heart skipped a beat.

"I'm from Huazhou. I don't have any relatives in my hometown. Changle Town is also very good. I plan to find a long-term job and settle down here." Hou Biao said with a smile.

"Oh? I think you have some boxing skills. What did you do for an errand?" Wang Yuan'er asked, looking at the fleshy flesh on his arm with the sleeves rolled up.

"When I was in Huazhou, I worked as a nursing home for a big family." Hou Biao answered honestly: "Last year when there was a flood in Huazhou, my master and his family moved to the northwest. I didn't follow, so I came all the way to Changle Town. Those who don’t have much money, go wherever they go, and decide what they think is good.”

Wang Yuaner nodded.

"The relatives of Dan'er's mother..."

Hou Biao shook his head, pursed his lips and hesitated for a while before saying, "Dan'er is actually my cousin's daughter."

Wang Yuaner was taken aback and looked at him.

Hou Biao looked a little embarrassed, and said after a long time: "She was pregnant before she got married, and Dan'er's father didn't know who she was, only that he was a scholar, and that scholar..."

It's a bloody story, a simple girl meets a talented scholar, and they make a mutual decision for life. Once in the spring festival, the scholar went to take an examination for fame, and kept the girl in the village. He vowed to marry her when she became famous, but she never came back. tire knot.

One can imagine the fate of an unmarried girl with a dark knot in the fetus. She was rejected by her parents, ran away from her family, hid in Tibet, found her only cousin, entrusted her daughter, and died depressed.

"Dan'er went there when she was less than two years old. To the outside world, I always said it was my daughter and mother-in-law." Hou Biao gasped.

Wang Yuan'er never expected Dan'er's life experience to be like this, she thought...

"Dan'er's mother has gone, her grandfather?" Wang Yuan'er came to his senses, Dan'er's grandfather was still alive in his words, why didn't he follow his grandfather, but followed his cousin Hou Biao instead?

"You don't know, my cousin lost her mother since she was a child, and her stepmother came later. How could she treat her sincerely when something like this happened again?" Hou Biao explained why Hou Dan followed him with just one sentence.

It was so.

The cousin did such a disgraceful thing to the family again, the stepmother would have dragged her to soak in the pigpen, so how could she help her raise the orphan girl?As for the father, if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather, and I think I despise this daughter.

Wang Yuan'er sighed, such things really happen everywhere.

"So, Brother Hou hasn't married yet?" Wang Yuan'er asked.

Hou Biao blushed, shook his head, and said: "A person like me, with a girl, how can a good girl want to follow me?"

Wang Yuan'er smiled slightly: "Brother Hou is also a righteous person."

Hou Biao hesitated to speak, but in the end he didn't dare to speak, and only drank the tea in one gulp.

When Wang Yuan'er saw it, she was a little disappointed. If he kept doing this and didn't even dare to mention it, then Chun'er's infatuation might be paid by mistake.

Hou Biao poured himself another cup of tea and drank it vigorously. Wang Yuaner cursed inwardly that it was not too much to be stupid, so he coughed and said, "Our Chun'er..."

She just opened her head, Hou Biao looked over eagerly, Wang Yuan'er felt funny in her heart, and was about to speak, when a loud voice yelled from a distance outside.

"Ouch, Miss Wang, now I can stand up to you."

Wearing big red flowers on her head, bright red rouge on her face, and a big sunflower fan in her hand, who is it but Zhu Matchmaker?

"Hey, it's Zhu Matchmaker, what brought you here?" Wang Yuan'er smiled and greeted her.

"Naturally, it's happy wind, happy wind." Matchmaker Zhu narrowed her eyes with a smile, she glanced at someone in her shop, she didn't care, she just pulled Wang Yuan'er and said, "Earlier, you asked me to find a good girl for your second girl." People, after seeing so many houses, you are not satisfied, and now I have finally found a good one."

Behind him, there was the sound of a teacup falling to the ground.

"Oh?" Wang Yuan'er glanced back with a half-smile.

Matchmaker Zhu smiled and waved the big sunflower fan in her hand, and said: "That family is in Taiping Town next door to us, with a hundred acres of fertile land, and the brother of that family is twenty years old, just in his prime, and has an honest temper. People who love their mother-in-law. More importantly, there is only such a single seedling in that family, and in the future, this family property will be the only one."

Wang Yuan'er listened, this family seemed to be well-to-do, but they were not married at such an age, so what's the problem?
"Such a good man, why hasn't he married yet?" She was suspicious.

Matchmaker Zhu coughed, and said, "He is a good person, but he has some shortcomings." She looked at Wang Yuan'er, saw her raise her eyebrows, and coughed twice again: "This kid was playful when he was young, this left My eye was injured by that firecracker."

Wang Yuaner's smiling face froze slightly!

That is a blind man!
"Although the left eye is hurt, the right eye is fine, and seeing things is not a problem at all." Seeing her uneasy face, Zhu Matchmaker said hurriedly, and then said: "To be honest, this gentleman has nothing but eyes. Well, he is really a good talent who is one in a hundred, and he deserves to be matched with the second girl of your family."

Parents died, mother died, no one thinks your fate is hard, so what else is there to choose?Matchmaker Zhu slandered in her heart.

"I still have to talk to my grandpa and grandma about this matter. If they agree, how about I find a matchmaker?" Wang Yuaner uttered a sentence after a long while.

Matchmaker Zhu twisted her lips, and said, "That's okay, it's just Miss Wang, and I didn't say that, you pick people, people pick you, you pick a lot, and others say your girl has high eyesight and low hands, but it's even more difficult." picked."

Wang Yuan'er smiled lightly, and Zhu Matchmaker saw that she didn't care, so she had to say something strangely, and walked away twisting her waist.

"No, Chun'er can't marry such a person." Hou Biao said angrily, stepping up from behind.

Wang Yuan'er turned around and looked at him: "If you don't marry someone like this, what about marrying? You heard it, the eyes are high and the hands are low, the girl's family is old, and no one wants it."

"Who said no one wants her, I want her." Hou Biao blurted out: "I will marry her."

As soon as these words came out, Wang Yuaner couldn't help but blush when she saw Wang Yuan'er's half-smile.

"Waiting, Big Brother Hou..." Behind him was the small door leading to the inner house, Wang Chun'er held the threshold and looked at him shyly.
