Chapter 183 - 144: Hopeful Expectations_3
Qian Xiaoyu had grown accustomed to Qian Yixiu’s occasional startling remarks, but these words still made her burst into laughter until she was short of breath. Qian Manxia, with her face red from anger, stood up and gave her a few more swats on the bottom, scolding, "What nonsense are you spouting? Just wait until I tell Mother on you, she’ll pinch you hard."
Feeling dejected, Qian Yixiu left the hut, feeling like the meddlesome Fa Hai. But she truly, truly couldn’t bear the thought of her little aunt suffering even the slightest hardship. She hoped that after her little aunt got married, she would be able to live a comfortable and leisurely life. It didn’t have to be one of great riches, but it must be a contented one without major upheaval.
This was also her wish for her own future.
She hoped that in this lifetime, her love with her husband would not be too intense, nor would she be too infatuated with any man. That kind of long, foolish waiting was extremely difficult to endure. Just like her past self, just like her mother in this life...
Qian Yiduo didn’t quite understand the earlier conversation and asked, "Sister Embroidery, who is marrying the big landlord?"
"It’s Duo Duo, you know. Now, Duo Duo is also the daughter of a shopkeeper, and in the future, she’s going to marry the big landlord," Qian Yixiu kidded the little girl.
Qian Yixiu lingered at the entrance to the main hall, where Wan Dazhong called out from inside, "Yixiu, come here quickly and see what Uncle Wan has brought you."
Qian Yixiu entered the room. Seeing Wan Dazhong’s dark face, smooth except for the long scar, his features rugged yet somewhat handsome, and his tall figure, she thought him presentable. Although he wasn’t as attractive as her own dashing father, he was still quite a catch, no wonder the girls from several villages had set their sights on him.
"What is it?" she asked.
