Chapter 1159 – In Charge Of Caring
Ji Mo Ya’s aura was too powerful, that was why they had decided to let him take up the image of a sickly man to remain hidden. It would prevent others from noticing any anomalies after observing for some time.
Of course. Ji Mo Ya also needed peace and quiet to train and solidify his cultivation foundation.
On the other side, Madam Yin Xiu looked at this family of three. No matter how you look at it, the head of the house was a weak man who does not seem to have long to live. They opened a small snack bar and were outsiders as well, easy targets to bully.
That was why she did not hide her intentions any long and said, “Your son has tarnished the reputation of our Niu Niu, you must marry her! If not, how can Niu Niu continue living in Nameless Town?”
Huan Qing Yan was dumbstruck, she turned and exchanged a glance with Ji Mo Ya.
He was also displaying a shocked expression.
It was apparent that even Ji Mo Ya did not expect such an outcome.
They thought this woman was just greedy for more money, yet she was trying to marry their daughter to their son?
Heavens. Little Treasure was only born over a year ago, okay! Although he was currently holding the image of a four or five years old.
But in fact...
Huan Qing Yan did not dare to imagine.
“I say, Madam Yin Xiu, my family’s Little Treasure is still young, we are not thinking about a daughter-in-law yet...”
“How is he young? Others formed baby marriage engagements between their children before they were even born!* Is your son trying to force my family’s Niu Niu to die? If he doesn’t marry her, fine. If anything untoward happens to our Niu Niu, your family can forget about having peaceful lives!”
(Cuppa: Yeah such arrangements did happen in China, typically between the families of sworn brothers or very close friends. If their children are born with opposite genders, they will get married. If they have the same gender, they will become sworn siblings etc.)
Little Treasure blinked and acted ignorantly, “Mother, what is baby marriage engagement? What is a daughter-in-law?”
His expression was curious and extremely pure.
The onlookers heard them and commented, “They are just children who are even younger than our Er Niu, what would they know about the etiquettes between a man and woman? This Wang Family must have some ill intentions!”
“What else? The main wife of the Wang Family is stricken with illness and about to die. This concubine is trying to move up the ladder by forcing the young daughter out of the family...”
......
The power of gossip was unfathomable. A piece of small information could be creatively expanded by several others.
Yin Xiu ordered the servants to stand at the entrance.
“Whoever sprouting rubbish again will mean that they are going against our Wang Family!”
The observers immediately zipped their mouth closed.
Squire Wang Family is a large family that cannot be trifled with.
Yin Xiu looked at Little Treasure and sneered, “Brat, let me tell you what a daughter-in-law is! You carried our family’s Niu Niu, she will be your wife in the future. You should marry her home, raise her in your house, feed her in your house. Understand?”
Little Treasure still displayed his naïve innocence, “Then my father also carried Niu Niu, let me father marry her. No, I saw the servant elder sister carrying Niu Niu as well. Can that elder sister marry Niu Niu as well?”
Ji Mo Ya’s mouth twitched, Brat, are you trying to dig a pit for your dad?
“You! Stop trying to cause trouble, Brat. No matter if you are willing or not, you cannot cause danger to Niu Niu’s life.” Yin Xiu replied angrily.
Huan Qing Yan waited for the other side to finish spitting before returning a warm smile. “Regarding Niu Niu’s body, our family can offer some silver and be responsible for her recovery until she is well again. As for marriage, I think as parents, we should not worry too much about this for the kids. The later generation has its own blessings and fortune; my family are outsiders and might not even remain here for long. If we move away, it might trouble the future of Little Lady Niu Niu...”
