Blessed Peasant Woman of Time Traveling

Chapter 79

When she arrived at Mengling Village, Ding Xiang was very happy when she saw the new house that was about to be completed, the happy expressions of her parents, the indifferent Begonia, and the fatter Zikui who came back from the academy.

Although she only stayed at her natal family for a few months before getting married, she still has a deep relationship with her parents and sisters. They treat her like a close relative, and she also takes her natal family very seriously.Although she felt happier getting along with Dashan at her husband's house, of course she couldn't do as she wanted with her parents-in-law than with her natal family.

Looking at the relatives in front of her, she felt that she had a lot to say, especially to Haitang, but she couldn't just talk about Wei Dahai when she came to her mother's house.

She looked at Haitang's swollen belly, and said, "Sister, she's about to give birth in a month, isn't it uncomfortable?"

Haitang caressed her belly, her eyes glowed with maternal love, and she had a faint smile on her face, "It's not uncomfortable, my baby often kicks my stomach, but it doesn't hurt at all. He is naughty, he just kicks my stomach if he has nothing to do. I was joking."

Zikui came over and said, "Eldest sister, the second sister has brought a lot of new year's goods, besides food and supplies, there are also a lot of jewelry. Second sister, do you have a share for me? I saw some hairpins, earrings, and hairpins. The flowers are very pretty."

Ding Xiang looked at the purple sunflower carefully, "Hey, our purple sunflower is not only fuller, no longer skinny, but also a lot more beautiful, much whiter and tenderer than before, she is really a handsome girl to be married."

Zi Kui blushed when Ding Xiang said it, "Second Sister, I'm serious, you just make fun of me."

"Huh? Don't you usually like to dress up the least, why do you still like hair pins, earrings and hair flowers? I thought you only cared about food, so I can prepare a lot of food for you." Ding Xiang picked out The basket in front of her was about to look for food, when she suddenly thought that what Zi Kui wanted was not food, she wanted to dress herself up beautifully, why not let her do what she wanted?
Ding Xiang first took out the New Year's goods and some food for her natal family, and then carefully selected beautiful hairpins, ears and head flowers for Zikui. Zikui happily took these to look at the broken bronze mirror.

Ding Xiang exchanged glances with Haitang who was beside her, and they both guessed about the same, presumably Zikui has someone she likes.But didn't she promise Mr. Su not to talk to the students of the academy, and with her carefree temperament, she would fight with people every now and then. Most men like gentle and docile ones, so the possibility of falling in love with her should be relatively small Bar?
Ding Xiang was about to go up to ask Zi Kui how many days off she had and how much money she had saved, but she saw Ling Zhi, who was working with Zi Kui in the academy, ran over.

"Zikui, I heard that your second sister brought many good things?" Lingzhi was asking, when she saw Dingxiang, "Sister Dingxiang, do you have hairpins, rouge powder?"

Ding Xiang wondered, why does Ganoderma lucidum also love beauty?

"There are quite a lot of hairpins, and there are only three boxes of rouge and gouache. Few girls in the village buy them, so I don't get much." Ding Xiang took out the things from the basket and asked tentatively, "Ganoderma lucidum, you are working in the academy to become beautiful." There are quite a few, why bother to dress up so much?"

Ganoderma lucidum shyly said: "I... I... One day I heard those scholars secretly say that I am dark and ugly, and I was so angry that I couldn't eat for a few days. But since I dressed up a little, no one said anything. .”

At this time, Haitang came over and said: "Those people don't study hard, why are you commenting on these in private, you don't care about them. And Zikui, did you hear that, from now on, I will work well with Lingzhi, and don't take it to heart when those scholars bully others superior."

Ganoderma lucidum didn't seem to take it seriously, he laughed and said: "Well, as long as I put my heart into dressing up, no one will say that I'm not good-looking."

Ding Xiang interjected: "Elder sister is telling you to ignore those people, not to dress up to please them. Next time you meet someone who says you are not good-looking, just ask him, are you a handsome man? Did you read well?"

Lingzhi burst out laughing, "Sister Dingxiang, he will definitely answer, he is a handsome man, and he can read books very well."

Ding Xiang said again: "Then there is only one person who is talented and good-looking. Is it true that everyone who makes fun of you is like this?"

Lingzhi paused, then lowered her head and whispered, "Others don't often laugh at me, it's that person..."

Ling Zhi thought that the man's expression was wrong, and refused to continue, but asked Lilac how much she wanted to buy, she hurriedly paid the money and ran home.This made Lilac and Haitang confused, not knowing what happened to her.

Zikui is usually very careless, but at this moment she inadvertently guessed something, and sat by the side in a daze.

Haitang really felt that something was wrong, so she came over and pushed Zikui, "What did Lingzhi say just now, that someone from your academy would bully you and Lingzhi from time to time?"

Zikui immediately changed her face, as if she was covering up something, and smiled exaggeratedly, "There is indeed such a person, but he is not bullying us, but every time he sees Lingzhi and me, he can't help laughing, and says something about us. I don’t understand the words. But we both understood what he said about Ganoderma lucidum a few times, it seems to mean... the name Lingzhi is half right and half wrong, saying that she looks the same color as Ganoderma lucidum, but [-]% less than Ganoderma lucidum Spirituality, that’s what it meant, but he didn’t laugh that I’m not good-looking. I’m not ugly. Anyway, he likes to make fun of people, but he reads the best among those scholars. I often hear Mr. Su praise him, saying that he is eloquent and can write very delicate articles, saying that he will definitely be promising in the future."

As soon as Zikui talked about him, he couldn't finish, swallowed his saliva and continued: "He always claims to be a handsome man, and he is extremely arrogant, but he is indeed much stronger than other scholars. Once he stands among those scholars, He is very conspicuous, but other scholars still love to play with him. Do you think this person is very strange? He is so difficult to get along with, why are others willing to make friends with him? By the way, I heard that his family is cool. From Fengzhen, his family has dozens of acres of fertile land, and he is very wealthy. He has no worries about food and clothing, and has a lot of spare money for him to buy books. No wonder he has so many books that he can hardly fit them. Most of the scholars have gone home this time. But carrying a bag to go sightseeing in the mountains and rivers, it’s terribly cold in winter, what’s so interesting about it, I really don’t understand him.”

Ding Xiang and Haitang both understood that Zi Kui must have fallen in love with this arrogant master, and even Lingzhi also fell in love with him.But he is a son of a wealthy family, and he has a high sense of taste and knows how to enjoy the scenery and mountains and rivers. Neither purple sunflower nor ganoderma is suitable for this person.

What's more, this person likes to make fun of others, maybe he doesn't look down on Zikui and Ganoderma lucidum at all.

Zikui saw that the expressions of the two sisters seemed to have seen through her, so she hurriedly changed the subject and said, "Actually, Mr. Su likes Yusen very much in the academy. He didn't delay in chopping firewood or studying. Auntie is very happy."

Ding Xiang then asked: "Yu Sen still needs to chop firewood? Didn't Rose bring money home to Yu Sen to repair?"

"Rose came back last night, and I heard from my second aunt that she brought home several taels of silver. As for how many taels, my second aunt won't tell us. She just said that Yusen has enough money to study and doesn't have to work so hard chopping firewood."

After hearing this, Haitang sighed: "Moose Rose is a sensible girl. She said that if the family made a marriage proposal for her, she would not go to Nanyuanwai Mansion after the Chinese New Year. Mr. Nan also took good care of her. Originally, the more Chinese New Year, the more she couldn't leave the mansion. Man, when he saw Rose was homesick, he decided to let her come back. But Narcissus has gone to Zheng's house now, and I don't know what will happen to her in the future. Third Aunt's complexion is very ugly."

Just as I was talking, Rose came over.After staying in Nanyuan Waifu for so many days, she has become more polite, calling the three sisters affectionately, flirting with them, and talking about Nanjia's affairs, but she will never say what should not be said, She also said that she will marry not far from home in the future, so that she will be close to her parents and not alienated from her three older sisters, and she will be satisfied if she can live a smooth life.

The four of them talked around the brazier, Meng Gui and He Shi were busy making food by the stove, Da Shan and Wei Xiaozi were busy building the roof of the new house.Every time Dashan climbed down from the roof to drink water, he would see Dingxiang chatting affectionately with his sisters in the house, and he was happy to see it.

After lunch, someone from the village came to buy things, and Ding Xiang was busy for a while.It wasn't until mid-afternoon that she had time to sit down. Seeing that there was only Haitang in the room, she took out the lotus leaf hairpin and handed it to Haitang.

Haitang held it in her hand and looked at it fondly, and said with a slight smile, "I don't like anything these days, and I don't even want to see these things. I didn't expect this hairpin to be very fond of me. You gave it to me?"

Ding Xiang shook her head.

Haitang laughed, "Are you kidding me? You didn't give it to me. Why did you stuff it into my hand while no one was in the room?"

Ding Xiang smiled and said, "If I want to give you something, does it matter if there is no one in the room?"

Haitang pouted, "Yo, my second sister suddenly became stingy, and gave Zikui so many things, even roses, but not mine?"

Ding Xiang whispered mysteriously: "This is for you, but it's not from me, it's from a man who likes you!"

Haitang blinked, and immediately returned the hairpin to Ding Xiang, "Which man? No matter which man it is, I won't accept it."

Ding Xiang was anxious, "Why don't you accept it, what a beautiful hairpin, do you really plan to never marry for the rest of your life?"

Haitang resolutely said: "Don't marry! As I said earlier, it's good for me to live with my children at my mother's house. There is no need to marry and go to my mother-in-law's house to be judged by others. I don't like it, and my baby doesn't have to be judged by others." Roll your eyes."

"Do you think that if you don't get married, others won't roll their eyes at the child, make fun of him, or hurt him with words? If you really don't want to be looked down upon by your in-laws, you can hire a wife."

Haitang was too lazy to listen to this, so she smiled wryly, "Which man is so eager to get married?"

"He didn't rush to get married, he just asked me and Dashan to help him pass a message to you, that is...he likes you, likes you, and wants to marry you!"

"Which man is so blind to a woman like me? If it weren't for Mr. Nan taking me to the county once and many people shut up, otherwise I would still be poked in the back by thousands of people."

Seeing Haitang's attitude all the time, Ding Xiang was really worried.

Haitang asked again: "Who is it?"

"Except for Wei Dahai, who else would ask me and Dashan to pass on the message." Ding Xiang pouted, "He kindly sent you hairpins, but you talk a lot of repulsive words. He is usually kind and sincere, and he does things in a down-to-earth way. You are really kind, don't you think you didn't feel it at all when you spent so many days with him in the county?"

In fact, Haitang had already made a rough guess just now, but she couldn't be sure.Now hearing Ding Xiang's affirmative words, she felt bitter in her heart.

After a long silence, she finally opened her mouth and said, "Second sister, Wei Dahai is indeed a good man, I am not good enough for him. He should find a clean and virtuous girl and give birth to a few children, so I won't cause trouble for him." .”

"Sister, what are you talking about? I looked at him and thought about you so much that he couldn't work or talk. He really likes you, so why is he willing to marry another girl? He doesn't dislike you, and you Why do you hate yourself?"

Haitang smiled wryly and shook her head: "Ding Xiang, you should understand some things. He doesn't dislike me. Doesn't his parents dislike me, his relatives and villagers don't dislike me? Not only do they dislike me, they also dislike me. My baby!"

"Then let him get married." Ding Xiang said anxiously.

"Does he agree, does his parents agree? Absolutely no, don't even think about it. Besides... I feel that I am not good enough for him, so I don't have the courage to ask him to marry into our family. He is kind and doesn't despise me. , Am I self-proclaimed and ignorant of the heights of the heavens and the earth?"

Ding Xiang sighed, knowing that arguing with Hai Tang would not convince her.

Haitang stood up, "I'll add some charcoal to the brazier."

"Sister, listen to me..."

Haitang grabbed the charcoal with the pliers, turned around and said, "Ding Xiang, don't talk about this anymore."

Ding Xiang stood up abruptly, "Sister, just say... Do you have Wei Dahai in your heart?"

Haitang was startled, the charcoal in her pocket rolled down to the ground somehow.She didn't know how to answer Ding Xiang, and she really couldn't answer, because even she didn't know whether she had Wei Dahai in her heart.

She was only thinking about the child, about the future life of the mother and child or both, and there was no man in this imagination.Although she has been with Wei Dahai for so many days, she does have a good impression of him, but this kind of good feeling does not necessarily mean that she likes him.Because she didn't want a man to get involved in her life at all, she never thought of being tempted.

Haitang stood there for a long time before uttering two words indiscriminately, "No!"

It was only then that she thought of grabbing the piece of charcoal quickly, but when she picked up the charcoal and looked up, she saw Dashan standing at the door.In fact, when Ding Xiang asked that question just now, Da Shan came over, but he didn't dare to come in because of Hai Tang's mood.

Now that Haitang had seen him, he coughed, walked over and sat by the brazier, first met Ding Xiang's eyes, and then warmed his hands.Hai Tang brought charcoal over to add to the brazier, she sat down, and Da Shan said: "Sister, my brother has been suffering a lot these days, please help him."

Haitang was stunned, "I... how can I help him?"

"He's been out of his mind for the past few days. If Ding Xiang and I go home and tell him that you rejected him, he will be very sad. I'm really worried that he won't think about it when it's New Year's Eve." Da Shan didn't say this on purpose to fight Haitang's sympathy, he was really worried about his brother.

Haitang lowered her head and whispered, "He's a big man, how could he be overwhelmed by such a trivial matter?"

"How is this a small matter? It's a big thing for my brother. There is nothing more important than this. If you refuse him so resolutely, how sad he will be."

Da Shan is really not exaggerating, his brother has only been relieved for so many years because of his deceased fiancée, if he is depressed for a few years because of Haitang, then his life will really be delayed.Not to mention that his parents couldn't bear it, even he himself couldn't bear it. The woman he liked either went underground or rejected him, and he would abandon himself or become a decadent person from now on.

What worries Dashan even more is that his brother may be hit hard, or may collapse due to unbearable.

"Sister, you don't hate my brother, do you?" Da Shan asked inquiringly.

Haitang didn't speak.

"You also think he is a good man, right?" Da Shan asked again.

Haitang still didn't speak.

"Since you don't hate him and think he is a good man, then you can help him."

Haitang was a little confused, "How can I help him?"

"Don't rush to reject him, don't say you don't have him in your heart, just think about it first, okay?"

Haitang froze for a moment, then nodded.

Ding Xiang smiled, "Okay then, Dashan and I will pass on the message to him first, you have to really think about it seriously, and you won't die if you think about it, so don't be so stubborn."

Dashan got up and went to work. Before going out, he turned around suddenly and said, "Sister, it's not that you don't have him in your heart, but you're worried that my parents won't agree, or that the surrounding people think you're wrong?"

Haitang was dumbfounded, did she really have Wei Dahai in her heart?

While she was hesitating, Dashan went out to work without waiting for his answer.

Ding Xiang knew that it was not good to force her sister like this. She probably understood that there was a hurdle in Haitang's heart, which was the degree of acceptance of her by others.As long as the in-laws can solve it, there shouldn't be a big problem on Haitang's side.

But...the in-laws' side is simply a bunker, how can they break it?
