Chapter 208 - 153 Poor Monk isn’t Poor_1
Qian Mandie and Qian Manxia went to the cottage to whisper, and Qian Yixiu considerately did not follow them. Instead, she took Qian Yiduo by the hand to the old locust tree in the courtyard.
The two little girls sat facing each other on small stools, frowning with pouty lips.
When the wind blew, the leaves above their heads rustled, and Yixiu was reminded of the scene from last autumn.
Three beautiful young ladies sat embroidering under the tree, whispering into each other’s ears—they must have been gossiping about some amusing matters, giggling non-stop. Back then, they were like three freshly bloomed flowers, dazzling and radiant, and Mandie, being older and fuller, appeared even more vibrant.
Their joyful laughter seemed to have just drifted by with the wind when Mandie became a lean, divorced woman filled with resentment.
The hurt she suffered at the Yang family and her worries about her divorced status, along with the fear for her future life, could not be dispelled in a moment. What she needed was the care and consolation of her family and a fulfilling life to rebuild her confidence.
Yiduo said to Yixiu in a sorrowful whisper, "My little aunt is so pitiable. She keeps crying and can’t even eat her meals. When I marry a big landlord in the future, I’ll bring her to my husband’s house to enjoy herself. She’ll eat meat every day and fatten up a bit."
Yixiu nodded and said, "Duo Duo is really a good child. But Auntie Die is so pretty and hardworking. Your family will get richer too, and there will surely be good families willing to marry her."
"Really? Can my aunt marry again?" Duo Duo asked with wide, puzzled eyes.
