Chapter 106 KO husband beater (third watch)
Before, Granny Zhao had heard from Luo Yuzhu that Xiaofeng previously had a sweetheart, not a local fellow, and when he heard that Xiaofeng was pregnant, he ran off.
Huzi had previously taken a wife, but she was short-lived, passing away not long after joining the family, and with Huzi being tall and burly, with a fierce look to him, he became tagged with a curse of causing his wife’s death. Once word spread, people would ruin any marriage talks as soon as they heard about Huzi’s reputation.
Seeing that Huzi was about to turn thirty without finding a wife was enough to make anyone anxious. Although Xiaofeng was pregnant, she was young, age, and with the backing of a family like the Lin Family, no matter how you looked at it, the match seemed suitable.
Most importantly, before she came last night, she had matched their birth signs, and they were indeed compatible; otherwise, she wouldn’t have made the trip.
Now, hearing Xiaofeng’s implication, she suppressed her smile, her face darkening, "What do you mean? Do you mean to say your man will come back to marry you?"
Even though she didn’t know who her man was or where he might be at the moment, one had to pretend that existence meant something, she straightened up, "Of course, he said he would come back, and I will wait for him. So I’m sorry, Granny Zhao."
"Xiaofeng," Granny Zhao moved her lips, "I have something to say to you. Men from the city are unreliable. Look at Huzi’s dad. When he was courting my daughter, they were inseparable, but once he left, he never returned. Huzi’s mom knows from experience, so I’m advising you to plan for yourself. What will you do if he doesn’t come back? You and your child will still have to live."
Young people just don’t know how to plan ahead; if they did, they wouldn’t end up in situations like this.
"You’re right, Granny Zhao," Xiaofeng didn’t disagree, "But that’s just how I am, I won’t give up hope until I reach the Yellow River. So please, stop trying to persuade me. I’ll wait for him. If he doesn’t return for a year, I’ll wait a year; if ten years, then I’ll wait ten years."
Inner monologue, observing how deeply affectionate she was, she nearly moved herself to tears.
