“Chuangui is now a county scholar. Even if I’m his biological mother, I can’t guarantee that he’ll remain grounded forever. I also can’t guarantee that he’ll continue treating you like this in the future.”
In this world, there were many people who were blinded by wealth.
After coming into money for too long, not to mention character, even human nature would be corroded.
Especially after this incident, Old Madam Wang knew that although Chuangui was smart, he was not smart enough. Perhaps he would be deceived again at some point.
Madam Ma muttered, “Husband is not that kind of person.”
“Then you trust him even more than me, his biological mother.” Although Old Madam Wang said this with a smile in her eyes, she still emphasized, “Keep this money for yourself. If Chuangui wrongs you in the future, you can take this money to live on your own.”
These words surprised Madam Ma.
How could a mother-in-law let her daughter-in-law be prepared to leave her son who might have a change of heart at any time?
“Mother, if Husband becomes a provincial scholar, will he have a change of heart in the future?” Madam Ma was a little uncertain.
It couldn’t be. Her parents were already so old, but they still had a good relationship.
They, as the younger generation, could see it clearly.
Old Madam Wang snorted. “I don’t care if he’ll change his mind. If he dares to change, I’ll break his legs. If he dares to do anything to let you down, you don’t have to guard his grave as a widow anymore. I’ll spread his ashes.”
Madam Ma:”…”
Now, even she was a little suspicious. Was her husband really the biological son of her mother-in-law?
Could it be that she was actually her real child?
In the end, Madam Ma carried the box and left in a daze.
Along the way, she even met Wang Chuangui, who had come to look for her.
Wang Chuangui was holding a piece of cured meat in his hand and stuffed it into Madam Ma’s mouth. “Wifey, try it. The taste of home-cooked food is still the best! Big Brother has already said that we have to bring a few more pieces of cured meat with us when we go to the prefecture capital this time. At that time, we won’t have to be afraid that you won’t be used to eating there.”
Madam Ma chewed the meat woodenly and looked at him without saying anything.
“What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?” Wang Chuangui reached out to touch Madam Ma’s forehead and was puzzled. “You don’t have a fever either. What’s wrong?”
He then saw the box in Madam Ma’s arms. Just as he was about to open it to take a look, he was pushed aside by Madam Ma.
“This is something Mother gave me. You can’t look at it,” Madam Ma emphasized.
Wang Chuangui: “What’s not to see? By the way, why did Mother look for you again? Did she badmouth me again? Tell Mother that I’m not playing around. I’m just tired of studying and came out to take a breather. Don’t listen to Mother in everything. Listen to your husband too, okay?”
Madam Ma smiled. “Mother didn’t say anything. She just told you to take the exam well. If you can become a provincial scholar, the articles you write in the future can be sold for money. You’ll be able to repay your debt easily.”
Wang Chuangui immediately became happy. “Mother really said that? Aiya, then I have to study well. It’s best if I can get a top score. The articles will be even more valuable!”
With that, Wang Chuangui was overjoyed and went back to the study.
Later on, Old Madam Wang called the other daughter-in-laws over one after another. In the end, each of the women received a box.
As for what was in the box, they didn’t ask each other, nor were they curious.
However, everyone had an unspoken smile on their faces.
Especially when they saw each other’s husbands, their eyes were filled with deep meaning.
The Wang brothers couldn’t help but tremble. They felt that the boxes seemed to be hiding some kind of demon.
What did Mother say to them?
In the blink of an eye, it was the eighth of February. It was the day of Wang Dalang’s marriage.
Little Ah Yu had become a little flower girl. Originally, they wanted to find another child to accompany Little Ah Yu to help the bride insert the pearl hairpin.
Later on, after thinking about it, they couldn’t find another blessed child like Little Ah Yu in the surrounding villages.
She was good-looking, had good luck, and brought harmony to the family.
They really could not find another child like her.
Hence, Little Ah Yu could only help her new sister-in-law insert the pearl hairpin herself.
This was the rule of their Yongding County. The bride sat in a sedan chair. When they were about to enter the house, they would bring the blessed children onto the sedan chair to help the bride put on a pearl hairpin.
This pearl hairpin was prepared by the man. The value of the pearl hairpin also represented the importance they placed on the bride.
“Ah Yu, you have to hurry up. Don’t miss the auspicious time!” Wang Sanlang shouted from outside the carriage.
“Sanlang, are you shouting on behalf of your eldest brother? Everyone, take a look. The bride is not in a hurry, but the groom can’t wait!” Someone joined in.
Everyone laughed out loud.
Little Ah Yu inserted a huge pearl hairpin into Qu Shuqiu’s hair. Then, she looked around and felt that she was still not satisfied. She wanted to take a new one from her pocket.
She had prepared it herself.
Qu Shuqiu hurriedly said, “Alright, alright, it’s enough. Ah Yu, if you continue, my head won’t be able to hold the weight..”
