Female Farming Pond Fish

Chi Xiaotong discussed with Chen's mother: "Borrow some silver. I only have one tael and six cents of silver left. The Tian family wants three taels, so I can only borrow it."

"Do you have to marry him?" Chen Chengyu was a little puzzled. It was eight taels of silver, and the Tian family went back on their word.

Chi Xiaotong nodded and was about to speak when she felt someone pulling the corner of her clothes. Turning back, she saw Tian Yu standing behind her with his head down, only reaching her shoulders.

"I'm not worth eight taels of silver, don't give it to me!" Tian Yu's voice became smaller and smaller. He also wanted to escape from the Tian family, but this person was so good, he didn't want to drag her down. Tears welled up in his eyes, but Tian Yu held them back.

"You're worth it!" The gentle and firm voice fell directly into Tian Yu's heart. At that moment, he even forgot his fear, looked up and looked directly into Chi Xiaotong's eyes. Then he lowered his head in her gentle gaze.

"Be obedient, I'll take you home later!" This was the first time that Tian Yu heard someone speak to him in such a gentle voice and say that they would take him home.

Tears fell uncontrollably. He wanted to hold them back, but he could usually hold back the tears even when he was hit hard. Now they kept falling uncontrollably. He kept wiping them with his hands, but they were not wiped away.

Chi Xiaotong wanted to comfort her but didn't know where to start.

At this time, Chen's mother asked: "Have you made up your mind?"

Chi Xiaotong nodded. "Yes, but I need you to lend me one and a half taels of silver first. I will pay you back as soon as possible!"

Chen's mother nodded and told Chen Chengyu to go home and get the silver. And bring the new clothes made for her brother. Tian Yu's clothes were too torn. He had to wear new clothes for the wedding. The cloth for the Tian family was obviously withheld by his mother. With his mother's attitude, it would never come back.

Chen Chengyu was reluctant, but still obediently went back to find her father.

Although they had not been together for a long time, Chen's mother could see that Chi Xiaotong was the kind of person who would not easily change her mind once she made a decision.

Moreover, Tian Yu will have nothing to do with the Tian family from now on. Chi Xiaotong has chosen Tian Yu, and this is already the best outcome.

……

After a while, Chen Chengyu came back. She was holding a set of red clothes. This was a new dress her father made for Chengshan for the Chinese New Year. It was made red for the festive occasion. Tian Yu was small, but Chengshan was spoiled by her family since he was a child. Although they were a few years apart, their heights were not much different. It was just right for emergency use.

He handed two taels of silver and clothes to Chi Xiaotong and said, "My father gave it to me."

The village chief also came back and brought the severance document. After both parties signed it, Tian Yu was completely severed from the Tian family.

Chi Xiaotong stuffed the clothes into Tian Yu's hands and asked him to change. Then he went to the village chief.

Tian Yu returned to the woodshed and changed his clothes. He saw Chi Xiaotong and his mother had already signed the document. The village chief put away the document and went to the town to file it.

Seeing Tian Yu coming out, Chi Xiaotong waved him over. "You have already counted the money. Tian Yu has nothing to do with you from now on. Remember, stay away from him when you see him in the future. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude. By the way, I don't want the cloth I sent you before, as I thought you wouldn't return it. You can keep it to wrap your body!"

After saying that, he took Tian Yu and turned to leave, leaving Tian's mother and daughter behind him, jumping up and down and cursing.

After Tian Yu was helped onto the sedan chair, the group headed for Chi Xiaotong's home. After this episode, everyone was in low spirits, not as cheerful as when they came.

Chi Xiaotong recovered her mood, put on a smiling face first and mobilized everyone's emotions.

Sitting in the sedan chair, Tian Yu twisted his hands together. Nervousness, fear, and anticipation mixed together, making him feel overwhelmed.

Tian Yu's nervousness eased a little when he heard the voices outside the sedan gradually becoming cheerful. It didn't take long to reach the destination. They were all in the same village, so it couldn't be much farther.

At this distance, when Chi Xiaotong said to hire a sedan chair, Chen's mother said she was wasting money. But she felt that the sense of ceremony should be there, and she wanted to try her best to give Tian Yu the best. The plan was originally very good, but his mother was confused. That incident happened. Otherwise, if they live well in the future, can they still ignore Tian Yu's father's family?

When they got there, Chi Xiaotong helped Tian Yu out again. They worshipped heaven and earth. The ritual procedures were all based on those in the town.

The villagers all said: Chi Xiaotong gave Tian Yu enough respect. But Tian Yu's mother was confused!

But Chi Xiaotong's wedding banquet still made the villagers very happy. Three meat dishes, two vegetarian dishes, and a soup. As much as you can eat. After this, the villagers looked up to Chi Xiaotong, and even changed their views on Tian Yu. After all, they all saw Chi Xiaotong's attitude towards Tian Yu.

During the banquet, Chi Xiaotong brought Tian Yu out to toast. Both of them had water in their bowls. The alcohol content of the wine here was low, but Chi Xiaotong was not used to it. Tian Yu was still young, and Chi Xiaotong did not want him to drink, so they toasted everyone with water.

Mr. Chen is a good cook and all the dishes he cooked were delicious. After everyone had eaten and drunk well, they left in twos and threes.

Many of the things were borrowed from the Chen family, and Chen's mother did not ask Chi Xiaotong to send them back, so the family of four took the things back.

Chi Xiaotong was busy all the time, and only then did she talk to Father Chen: "Uncle, thank you so much this time! Take these dishes back and eat them, don't be disgusted!"

Father Chen refused: "No, keep it for yourself!"

"We can't finish it, there's more at home!" Chi Xiaotong stuffed the food to Chen's father. Then he said to Chen Chengshan: "Chengshan, Tian Yu wore your clothes this time. Thank you! I will definitely give you a new set someday. I guarantee you can wear it during the Chinese New Year."

"Sister Xiaotong, it's okay, I'm not in a hurry to put it on!" Chen Chengshan said sensibly. After coming back, Chi Xiaotong talked to him and thanked him. He didn't show anything when he saw Tian Yu wearing his clothes.

"These are all trivial matters. Chengyu has told us about the Tian family. Now that you have married her, you should live a good life with her! Go back quickly, we will go back too!" said Chen's father.

After seeing off the Chen family, Tian Yu had already cleaned the yard and was tidying up the kitchen. When Chi Xiaotong entered, she saw him limping while collecting things.

He hurried over, took the bowl from his hand and put it away. He then poured two more bowls of rice, pulled him to sit at the table, picked up a piece of meat for Tian Yu and started eating.

After a busy day, he didn't eat anything. He drank a lot of water, but his stomach was empty now! After finishing half a bowl of rice, Chi Xiaotong noticed that Tian Yu didn't pick up any vegetables except for the piece of meat he picked up for him. He only ate rice, and ate it in small bites.

"Why don't you eat the vegetables? Don't you like them?" As he said that, he picked up another piece of meat for Tian Yu.

Tian Yu quickly shook his head "no" and took another mouthful of rice, eager to prove that he liked it.

"Then eat more. If there is not enough rice, get more! Don't just eat the vegetables, eat the meat too!" Seeing that Tian Yu only picked up the vegetables and ate, he reminded him.

Tian Yu was already very satisfied, with rice, vegetables, and meat. He had never eaten such a good meal before. At the Tian family, it was good enough to have some leftover rice and soup to fill his stomach.

He didn't dare to eat meat, so he was happy with a bowl of rice. Chi Xiaotong kept picking up some food for him. The meal was finished. Chi Xiaotong asked Tian Yu if he wanted more rice, but Tian Yu shook his head.

A full bowl of rice was enough tonight. Although Chi Xiaotong asked, Tian Yu didn't dare to eat more for fear of being beaten.

After dinner, Chi Xiaotong took Tian Yu back to the room to wash up and go to bed. "I'll clean up tomorrow! Go to bed!"

Tian Yu lay on the bed, curled up. Chi Xiaotong didn't touch him. They lay on the bed, one inside and one beside. They both couldn't sleep. But no one said anything.

In Chi Xiaotong's mind, the fifteen-year-old Tian Yu was just a child. She was only sixteen years old, and she would not have any other thoughts. After lying down for a while, Chi Xiaotong, who was tired all day, fell asleep.

Tian Yu was nervous for half the night, but he couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep.
