Traveling through famine: The space peasant girl

After Mo Ru Ru's hand recovered, she and Wang Shiyu took some odd jobs in the embroidery shop. Although they didn't earn much, it was not bad either, after all, she had a teacher like Wang Shiyu to teach her.

It seemed that Mo Ruru already had a basic foundation in embroidery, and she quickly picked it up after being taught, and even embroidered quite well. Wang Shiyu began to doubt her mother's previous identity. After all, such embroidery skills could not be learned without several years of accumulation. Even Wang Shiyu could only embroider so well by using the space.

Not long after Mo Ru Ru left, Wang Shiyu stared at the mandarin ducks playing in the water in front of her. To be honest, it was not that she disliked this man. His face alone was enough to attract all of Wang Shiyu's attention. However, her emotions were restrained and controlled. Sometimes appreciating beauty was also an instinct.

Besides, why could such a handsome young man like her fall in love with someone like her?

Wang Shiyu knows her situation. To be honest, it seems that because she grew up in an orphanage, she is restrained even if she likes someone. She has even reached the point where if she likes someone and that person is not interested, she will leave without mercy. Love is not a necessity for her.

Moreover, she also suspected during this month that this person had some connection with the City Lord's Mansion. That was why no one knew he lived here. So Wang Shiyu suspected that this person might be the City Lord's illegitimate son, or the City Lord's nephew or something, his surname.

Mo Ru Ru looked at her absent-minded daughter outside the window and sighed helplessly. Even if there was no expression on her face, one could tell from her eyes that someone liked someone. But even if it could be seen, what could it do? With her daughter's precocious personality, it was impossible for her to have the same spring feelings as a young girl.

After all, she was an experienced person, so she naturally saw the look on her daughter's face when she looked at Zichuan. She sighed slightly. To be honest, Zichuan was indeed good-looking. If she were younger, she would probably be attracted by Zichuan's appearance. However, every time she saw Zichuan, he always had a faint smile on his face, and he was extremely sophisticated in the way he did things, spoke, and dealt with people. Sometimes, even Mo Ru Ru thought that maybe he didn't have that intention at all, and they were just overthinking it.

But her daughter is different. After she got involved in the embroidery industry, she seldom speaks. Instead, she likes to immerse herself in her own thoughts. Every time she starts embroidering, you can see the joyful light in her eyes. And this time, when Wang Shiyu looked at Zichuan, she saw that light, such a blazing and warm light.

"Xiao Yu, I'm talking to you. If you really like Zichuan, some things should be put on the agenda. I can't let you, a girl, speak first. Even if you don't mean it, you should make it clear in advance. It's better than dragging it out like this."

She interrupted Wang Shiyu's thoughts and at the same time stopped her from retreating into her inner shell. She didn't want her to continue to escape from her own heart. Mo Ruru knew her daughter too well. If no one broke her outer shell, the child would probably never speak out in her life.

Wang Shiyu was stared at by Mo Ru Ru and she sighed slightly. To be honest, she had not figured out how to deal with the current situation. The feelings came too quickly. It didn't seem like love that had grown over time. It might be that she was just attracted by her beauty.

Moreover, for her, she knew nothing about matters of the heart and had no idea what to do, so she basically adopted an evasive attitude towards this matter. Besides, Yu Xiuming didn't say much at all, so they were just overthinking.

"Mom, don't worry so much. We'll talk about his affairs later. Nothing will happen. Besides, although we have been neighbors for several years, we don't know his family situation at all. Even if we have any ideas, we can't say them now. What if his family is not compatible with ours? Looking at his demeanor, it seems that he is not from an ordinary family.

I don't want to be someone's mistress, and I heard that he is already 18 years old, so he probably already has a fiancée. Does my mother want me to be someone's concubine?"

Wang Shiyu knew that he was already eighteen years old. In this dynasty, eighteen-year-old men were basically married, and even if they were not married, they would be engaged. It could only be said that she discovered her heart a little too late. Sometimes a step late could be a lifetime late, so she didn't think about it at all now, and just treated them as ordinary friends.

Even though he didn't see the hostess next door, it might be because he had been in poor health before and was just engaged. And according to his surname, it was impossible for him to be an unknown person.

When Mo Ru Ru heard that he might be engaged, she couldn't help but frowned. She had never thought about this question. After all, this child has lived here for more than five years, and she has never seen a woman around him, so she subconsciously ignored this question. Because here, if a man is not married at the age of 20, he has to pay a single tax, which is increasing every year.

If the engagement was really achieved, she would definitely not allow her daughter to have any contact with this person. How could such a good daughter of hers be allowed to be someone else's concubine?

Her daughter deserves the best of everything. She never thinks that her daughter is worse than other children. If it weren't for her daughter, she might not even exist.

"Then it's better to talk to Zichuan. I'll take care of this matter. If he really has a wife, it's better to keep your distance from him and not get in such close contact with him."

Mo Ru Ru felt that it was better to talk about this matter after all. After all, it was not a trivial matter. She had already seen that her daughter had other feelings for him, but she still seemed to have some concerns. It might be due to her daughter's personality, otherwise the rumors would be even more unpleasant.

At this time, in the house next door, a young middle-aged couple dressed in luxurious clothes were sitting in the living room, concerned about something about Yu Xiuming. The table was also filled with various boxes, and no one knew what was inside.

"Zichuan, I have discussed with your mother before and wanted to arrange a marriage for you, but you refused, saying that you already have a lover. I don't know which girl is convenient. Dad and mom will go and meet her. You are already eighteen years old, and it is time to settle down. Even if you wait two years to get married, at least you will have a status there."

The man spoke helplessly under the constant poking of the woman with her hand. This man was the mayor of Jizhou City, Yu Haojun. He was a god-like man who had achieved a lot of military exploits at a young age and was able to retire after success and come to Jizhou City to be the mayor.

These two people were his parents, and Yu Xiuming watched their interaction in silence. He felt that he should not be here at the moment, he should go out and not be a light bulb between the two of them. He also did not want to answer his father's words. After all, according to his mother's temper, if things went wrong, she would just rush to the next door and say that she wanted to propose marriage for him.

He hasn't even confessed his feelings to her yet, so it wouldn't be a good idea to just say that he's getting engaged now. What if she thinks he's using his power to pressure her? If Wang Shiyu misunderstands him, he probably won't be able to explain himself even if he jumps into the sea.

"Dad, don't mess with my mother. She doesn't know anything at the moment. Don't come to make things worse for me. I will talk to her about the engagement in the next two days. She is still young and has not reached the age of marriage. Even if the engagement is made, it will be impossible for them to get married within three years at least. Don't think about anything else."
