Traveling through famine: The space peasant girl
Chapter 138: Pretty Face
Wang Shiyu paused and turned to look at the old man selling fish. She took a quick glance and was sure that he was an old man from his head full of white hair. She could tell it was an old man from his voice, but she didn't realize that this was her grandfather whom she hadn't seen for five years.
"Oh, Grandpa, I haven't seen you for many years. You look much older now. You've been worrying too much. You already have grandchildren. Why do you have to work so hard?"
Listening to Wang Shiyu's words, the old man's somewhat excited face paused for a moment, and a vicious look flashed across his eyes for a moment, but it was caught by Wang Shiyu who had been staring at him. Well, there are so many things to do.
Judging from the old man's appearance, he probably has no remorse or anything. He is probably plotting something again and has been plotting for many years but hasn't found me. When he sees me today, he will most likely ask me about the whereabouts of my family. He may even want to plot against me until nothing is left of him.
"There's nothing I can do. Life is tough. You know the situation at home. We're short of money. But Xiaoyu is looking more and more like your mother. How have you been these years?
Judging from the way you’re dressed, you must be living a pretty good life, right?
Why don't you invite grandpa to your house?"
The old man felt that Wang Shiyu’s good life was definitely related to Zhou Qingyun’s secret help. If it weren’t for Zhou Qingyun’s help, how could a woman with two children live like this now?
What's worse, if his thoughts were even more evil and disgusting, he would suspect that Wang Shiyu's mother sold herself to support her two children. It was not impossible. You have to know that he was the one who saved Zhou Qingyun, but someone else took advantage of him. He was almost angry to death, but he still had to talk to Wang Shiyu with a smile.
"Yes, we are doing OK. Ever since mother left the Wang family, my mother has picked up her old skills again. Now that we have income every year, our life has become more comfortable. This makes life better for the three of us. We haven't seen Zhou Qingyun since he left, but I heard that he is doing well and is deeply loved by the emperor.
By the way, Grandpa probably doesn’t know that Zhou Qingyun is getting married to the daughter of the Duke of Anguo. I remember that the Marquis of the Duke of Anguo, Grandpa should know him. Haven’t you all met him? I wonder if Grandpa has been invited to attend his wedding in Jinling.
Thinking of Zhou Qingyun, Wang Shiyu thought for a moment and decided to give the old man a hard time. Even if Zhou Qingyun didn't invite the old man, it is estimated that the old man would find a way to come to Jinling City after knowing this matter. Now the old man has no cards to use. People who are desperate will naturally not miss such a good opportunity. A life-saving grace will naturally make Zhou Qingyun agree to some conditions for him. If he uses it well, he can even use some other secrets to achieve his own goals.
When the old man heard the news that Zhou Qingyun was going to get married, excitement flashed in his eyes several times. He knew that his chance had come, but the most important thing at the moment was Wang Shiyu. He had to coax her and take her to Jinling at the same time, so that his bargaining chip would be greater.
"Really? Yun'er is getting married. He's actually engaged to the daughter of the Duke of Anguo. That's great. The Duke of Anguo has real power. The emperor really likes him.
What about you? Xiaoyu, you are going to be married soon, right? I wonder if you have found a husband. If not, do you want me to ask for you? After all, your mother must have a hard time raising you two alone. You might as well come back to the Wang family and stop causing trouble for your mother. "
Listening to the old man's concern for her, Wang Shiyu felt extremely disgusted and even wanted to punch him. Returning to the Wang family was the hardest thing. He was schemed against by this old guy every day. It was really a waste of his name. To be honest, Wang Shiyu used to like the word "Huan" very much, but now he doesn't like it at all.
"Thank you for your concern, Grandpa. I have already discussed marriage and have already made an engagement. Although the family that I will marry into is also an ordinary family, they are honest and hardworking, and they are literate. Although they cannot pass the imperial examinations, their family is not bad. His parents also like me very much. My mother personally chose them for me."
The smile on Wang Shiyu's face seemed to be welded to it and did not change at all. No one even knew whether the words she said were true or false. But she knew that she must not tell the old man about Yu Xiuming's identity, otherwise the old man would definitely have evil thoughts and try to get close to the Yu family. She did not want to clean up any mess for the old man. She wanted to live a peaceful life.
