Chapter 520 Settling Dust (1)_1
Tie Tou, who had recently been pressured by Mo Hong’s family to marry a Kiln girl, was indeed a bit slow and simple, and to outsiders, seemed only slightly better than an idiot. However, he had one strength that many lacked: he could take in the good intentions of others, especially the words of his biological mother, Wu’s, whom he almost invariably obeyed.
Even though he couldn’t understand why his parents had divorced, and felt in his heart that his biological mother had abandoned him and his two siblings, Wu’s still weighed heavily in his heart. After all, it had been she who’d always protected him from childhood, never despising him for his slowness.
When Mo Hong’s family tried to match him with a bride, insisting that he leave his handprint on the marriage contract in front of the matchmaker, he resolutely refused to comply, silently resisting Mo Hong’s ill intentions and remaining unmoved by her scolding and beating.
In the dead of night, after everyone in Lao Mo’s House had fallen into a deep sleep, Tie Tou crept out of the house and knocked on the gate of Mo’s compound at the back of the mountain.
Wu’s knew that her son wasn’t as clever as other children, and even if she talked until she was blue in the face, he might not fully understand. So, she didn’t say much to him, only telling him not to agree to this marriage and not to worry about anything else.
Having heard his mother’s words, a simple smile appeared on Tie Tou’s face, "Mom said not to press, so Tie Tou didn’t press today, and won’t in the future either!"
Wu’s, half crying and half laughing, lightly patted his head, "Are you saying you’ll never get married? To marry, you have to press your handprint on the marriage contract. It’s just that if your grandparents tell you to press it, you must not do it, got it?"
