Chapter 372: Own strength
The Bai Family was noisy due to separation. While on Bai Zhi’s side, the atmosphere was also uncomfortable because Hu Feng wanted to join the army.
Bai Zhi thought that when the time comes that Hu Feng will leave the Huangtou Village, she could wave her hand and say goodbye to him, just like when she sent Meng Nan away.
But these days, she found out that Hu Feng’s existence was different from Meng Nan.
The moment he talked about leaving, she felt very uneasy.
She was not sure if it is because she was used to his company, or maybe something else. She simply couldn’t understand it, this feeling was unfamiliar to her.
“What’s the matter?” When Zhao Sue entered the house with a tub of water, she saw Bai Zhi sitting on the bed and staring at a delicate hairpin.
“That’s a beautiful hairpin, how much did you buy it?”
Bai Zhi returned to her senses: “Huh? How much? I, I don’t know.”
When Zhao Sue walked closer, she saw her blushing, so what else is there to ask? Zhao Su smiled and said: “Did Hu Feng gave it to you? He has a good eye.”
Bai Zhi hid the hairpin in her sleeve and said with a reddened face: “Stop talking nonsense!”
Zhao Sue wiped the water drops on her hands and sat down beside Bai Zhi. She stretched out her arm and held Bai Zhi’s hand: “Zhi’er, Hu Feng will join the army, why don’t you stop him? He is not too young, he should get married. You’re 13 this year, so you’ll be 14 next year, right? Although according to the law of Chu Country, that a young lady must get married at the age of 15, there are still many young ladies getting married before they reach that age, so there is no reason to —”
Bai Zhi hurriedly interrupted her: “Sister-in-law, what are you saying? Hu Feng and I are just like brothers and sisters. It’s not like what you think. What 14-years-old, even if I’m 1000-years-old, I never thought about getting married. I just want to live my days quietly with my niang in this village. I don’t want anything else.”
Zhao Sue has always been with Bai Zhi these days, so how can she not her actual thoughts? So she couldn’t help but sighed and said: “Zhi’er, I don’t want to pour cold water on you, but I am older than you. I have more experienced than you. The Huangtou Village looks remote and peaceful, but it is not a paradise. Your ideas are good, but it may not end as you wish.”
Zhao Sue said to Bai Zhi so that she could think about it again. Especially, now that she was beaten by Gu Fengkang.
In this world, whether you lived under the foot of the imperial family or far away, people with power can suppress the small fry.
If a person wants to live a stable life, he shouldn’t turn a blind eye on this line.
Only by having own strength and power, others will not dare to collide with you. And only by having this, a person can protect himself and the people that he wanted to protect.
She was just a small farmer in the mountain village. It’s easier said than done to be strong.
“Sister-in-law, I will write down your words today, but there are things that can’t be done in just one or two days, I need to think of a long term plan.”
Zhao Sue nodded her head: “Yes, that’s right, these things are not urgent, but you should decide about Hu Feng. Don’t let such a good man leave. What is the battlefield? It’s a nightmare for any woman. No woman can live peacefully at home when their man is there. They are worried all the time. If they can, I’m sure they will not send their man in there. Hu Feng hasn’t left, you should advise him, who knows if he will stay, right? I can see that he care about you.”
