272 Eldest Brother’s Two Girls
“What? Little Sister Ah Yu has already found a husband?”
“No way. Little Sister Ah Yu is engaged?”
“I think I heard Fourth Uncle crying just now. It’s said that he’s going to send Little Sister Ah Yu away to become a child bride.”
“No wonder Fourth Uncle has been packing his things for the past two days. So it’s because he wants to send Little Sister Ah Yu away. Fourth Uncle is too anxious!”
The children of the Wang Family heard this news from somewhere. Everyone spoke one after another, and in the end, their expressions changed.
“It seems that if the elder brothers are not married, the younger sister can’t get married either, so they want to chase Little Sister Ah Yu out,” Wang Liulang said indignantly. “Why? She is our younger sister!”
Wang Qilang also clenched his fists. “If the adults are unwilling to raise her, then we’ll raise her. Why should we give her to someone else? This is too much. In the past, everyone was so hungry but they couldn’t bear to throw her away. Now, everyone can eat their fill. But we still have to give Little Sister Ah Yu away? The adults just don’t know how to be reasonable!”
Tang Yuan was originally waiting outside the door. When she heard everyone’s words, her eyes were filled with confusion.
Was that what the Old Madam and Fourth Madam meant?
That didn’t seem to be the case, right?
When Wang Aibao walked out, she happened to hear the children complaining.
She could not help but laugh. “What are you all muttering about here? Even if I chase all of you out, your Grandma still won’t bear to chase Ah Yu away.”
“Little Aunt, I heard everything!” Wang Liulang whispered. “I even saw Fourth Uncle packing his things.”
Wang Aibao said, “Don’t just listen halfway. It’s easy to slip up if you listen to things halfway. Also, your Fourth Uncle is packing his things because he’s going out tomorrow. It has nothing to do with Ah Yu.”
Tang Yuan nodded at the side.
Only then did the boys heave a sigh of relief. However, they were still on tenterhooks and did not quite believe her words.
When Little Ah Yu came out, the story outside had changed several times.
Her brothers surrounded her. “Ah Yu, are you alright?”
Little Ah Yu was puzzled. “What’s the matter? I’m fine.”
“It’s good that you’re fine. Let’s go and play on the swing. Fifth Brother will pick persimmons for you!” Wang Wulang hurriedly went to hold Little Ah Yu’s hand.
Wang Aibao was about to speak when she suddenly heard faint cries coming from the house. She quickly said to the children, “Go and play. Be careful. One of you needs to be on watch when the others are playing on the swing.”
“Got it, Little Aunt.” The children hugged Little Ah Yu and went to sit on the swing.
Wang Aibao walked into the house and saw Wang Chuanman turn his head away, as if he was wiping his eyes with his arm.
“Fourth Brother, why are you crying all of a sudden?”
“I’m not crying!” Wang Chuanman’s voice was muffled, but he did not turn his head around.
Old Madam Wang rolled her eyes. “Don’t worry about him. He’s a man, but he’s so pretentious. He ran around outside for so long for nothing!”
Wang Chuanman: “...Mother!”
Am I really your biological son?
“I think you’re just too free!” Old Madam Wang said to Wang Chuanman, “It just so happens that Dalang’s marriage is happening. Go and take a look. The girl’s family is in Great River Village, right?”
Previously, when Little Ah Yu said that she had an agreement with Qin Huai, Wang Chuan became agitated before he finished listening. He even shouted that he wanted to ask Qin Huai for an explanation.
After being scolded by Old Madam Wang, he finally calmed down.
It was just a few children joking. If the children took it seriously, so be it. Why would the adults take it seriously too?
“Are you talking about Dalang’s marriage? Mother, I’ll go out first.” Wang Aibao thought that this matter had nothing to do with her, so it was better not to interfere. She immediately turned around and was about to leave.
“Don’t leave yet. I still have something for you to do.” Old Madam Wang pulled Wang Aibao back and asked her, “Have you thought things through after coming back for a few months?”
Wang Aibao was about to ask her what she meant when she realized that her mother should be asking about her child.
By chance, Wang Aibao gave birth to a child. Unfortunately, she couldn’t take that child away.
In this day and age, very few women could obtain sole custody of their children. It would be fine if it was a girl, but she had given birth to a boy, and he was the only descendant of that family.
Wang Aibao: “Mother, I’ve thought about it. Let him be there. He doesn’t know that I’m his biological mother. He’s living quite well there.”
Although the Madam might not be so attentive to the child, the Old Master valued him. In the future, the family assets would also belong to the child. It was better for him to stay there.
Old Madam Wang: “As long as you don’t regret it.”
Wang Chuanman said, “Little Sister, if you want to bring the child back, our family can think of a way. In the past, our family was poor. Even if we helped you to bring him home, he’ll only live a hard life with us. Now, it’s not a problem to bring him back and register him legally as your child.”
“Fourth Brother, there’s really no need. If we’re fated, I’ll see him again.”
“You talk too much! Have you done what I asked you to do? Hurry up and get out. Don’t wander around here. My eyes hurt from looking at you.” Old Madam Wang waved her hand and pretended to be disgusted.
Wang Chuanman was chased out by Old Madam Wang. Liu Shi also followed. She still had to ask carefully about the marriage that Ah Yu had mentioned.
Wang Chuanman was arranged to go to Great River Village to see the girl that Wang Dalang met. If she was good, they could get engaged immediately.
When the Wang Family looked for a daughter-in-law, they did not look at her family background, birth, or who her ancestors were. They only cared about her character.
Because this was not an official visit, Wang Chuanman treated it as a trip to take a look at their land in Great River Village.
After leaving the house, he went to the Qin family to borrow a carriage and quickly headed towards Great River Village.
If there was enough time, he could return at night.
“Mother, since you’re looking at Dalang’s prospective match, why don’t you let Eldest Brother go? Eldest Brother lives nearer.” Wang Aibao was puzzled. “Dalang has been coming over recently, but I haven’t seen Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law much.”
Old Madam Wang was extremely patient with Wang Aibao, so she explained in detail, “Your Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law are honest people. Their minds are simple. If they go to visit, others can fool them however they want. Only your Fourth Brother has slightly more experience. If he can’t even see through a little girl, his life will be over.”
Wang Aibao pondered.
After returning to the Wang Family, Wang Aibao increasingly realized that what her mother usually said or did, her decisions were all very intelligent. She was not talking casually.
...
However, for some reason, her mother was unwilling to explain things to her family.
At night, Wang Chuanman returned in a carriage. Everyone was awake and only wanted to hear the results.
Wang Dalang had yet to return to Hu Family Village that night. He pricked up his ears to listen to Wang Chuanman.
Wang Chuanman sat at the table and took a big sip of tea. Only then did he say with dissatisfaction, “In my opinion, the two girls that Dalang found are not good!”
The Wang family was shocked. What? Two girls?!
“Big Brother, you’re too arrogant. Other people only take in a single wife, but you actually want to marry two!” Wang Wulang shouted.
Wang Dalang’s face flushed red.
