Chapter 1355 - 193, Date_2
Madam Cheng kept talking on and on without end, and Lin Wei felt as if a hundred flies were buzzing incessantly in her ears, her head swelling with the noise.
When Lin Wei heard Madam Cheng even refer to herself as her "mother," she felt as though she was sitting on pins and needles and just wanted to flee as quickly as possible.
"Madam, madam," Lin Wei stammered, "I’m not even eleven years old yet. Isn’t it a bit too early to talk about this matter?"
"Not at all!" Madam Cheng grabbed Lin Wei, who was attempting to slip away, holding her hand tightly in her own and speaking very earnestly, "Haven’t you heard the saying? ’Childhood sweethearts, innocent of worldlier ways,’ meaning that the two people have been inseparable since childhood, developing feelings of affection for each other. You’re both eleven, and Xuan is already thirteen or fourteen, not young at all. In some places, kids get married early—there are those your age who are already married and have children!"
Lin Wei forced a smile, thinking to herself that, according to Madam Cheng, she might as well marry Cheng Haoxuan immediately and then give birth to a big, chubby grandson for her next year. But wait, one wouldn’t be enough, right? She had to produce a whole bunch of them!
Thinking of herself so young, having to start having children at twelve and keep at it until twenty-two or even thirty-two—what a baby-making machine she’d be!
Suddenly, the image of the large sow and several piglets that they raised at the Lin family residence flashed before Lin Wei’s eyes, making her shudder from head to toe.
"Madam, madam," Lin Wei said, "I think this matter should be discussed carefully. Marriage is a matter of parental orders and matchmaker’s words, and my elder sister is already fourteen, yet my mother can’t bear to see her married off, so I’m even less in a rush."
While saying this, Lin Wei stood up, frantically pushed away Madam Cheng’s firm grip, and fled from her room as if her life depended on it.
Madam Cheng blinked and, watching Lin Wei’s retreating figure, chuckled, "Oh my, she’s still a child indeed, blushing just at the mention of it. Tsk tsk, but the child does make some sense. We shouldn’t be hasty, indeed, we must take the long view. In a few days, no, let it be tomorrow, I’ll have them meet each other to develop their relationship. It’s almost June, the flowers in the countryside must be blooming beautifully now, I’ll let the two kids go out to the lake to enjoy the flowers!"
