Poor little thing is eating melons and watching the drama in the period literature

Zhang Xiaocao said deliberately: Even if it is a child marriage, it is between your cousin and Deng Xingwen.

It's not that she can't read people's expressions at all. The clothes in Dong Yao's hands were about to be crushed by her. Zhang Xiaocao wisely shut up.

After Zhang Xiaocao left, Dong Yao thought about it and ran to Deng's house out of worry.

Except for the injured Deng Xingwen and his mother who had hardly worked, everyone else in the Deng family went to work.

The door to the main room was open, but Dong Yao did not go in through the door. Instead, he walked to the side room, put his ear against the wooden board, and listened to the noise inside.

Deng Xingwen said in an unhappy tone: "Mom, please stop messing around. I am engaged to the girl from the Dong family, and I am more than ten years older than Yu Zhiqing. We are not suitable."

Deng Xingwen's mother was also unhappy: "How is it a mess? It's because you insist on raising those two brats. What can the Dong family give you? Their own family has to rely on the betrothal gifts from my family to marry a wife."

"You don't know. I've found out everything. I heard that Yu Zhiqing's family is very rich. Her family sends her things every month. They are big packages of good stuff."

Deng Xingwen felt extremely ashamed when he heard his mother say this, but he couldn't say anything harsh to her, so he had to turn over and face his back to her.

Deng Xingwen's mother wiped her tears and said, "Alas, how can you be so ignorant?"

"That girl from the Dong family is not worthy of you. Mom wants to find you a good one, but you refuse to do it."

Deng Xingwen: "...I've already told you that if you're so dissatisfied with the girl from the Dong family, help me break off the engagement."

"No matter how good Yu Zhiqing is, you still have to consider whether I am worthy of her?"

"Why don't you deserve it?"

Deng Xingwen turned around and gave his mother a look.

"...Do you dislike me?"

Deng Xingwen was speechless: "Mom, I don't dislike you, the main thing is that we should also have self-awareness. Not to mention that I am more than ten years older than them, even my family background is not good enough. Yu Zhiqing and her brother have grown up in luxury."

"What's the use of gold and jade? It's the same after you get married."

Deng Xingwen knew that he couldn't convince his mother about this, so he said, "Everyone in the village knows that our family is engaged to the Dong family. If I want to take advantage of them, you have to cancel the engagement first."

Deng Xingwen's mother was in trouble.

One reason was that the engagement was arranged by her father-in-law, who had great authority and she had no say, and the other reason was...

"If you break off the engagement with the Dong family, and you haven't mentioned Yu Zhiqing yet..."

Deng Xingwen's mother must have not even eaten the food in her bowl, but she's already staring at the food in the pot.

Dong Yao, who was eavesdropping outside the house, bit her teeth in anger.

I work so hard to please her every day, but she still wants to keep me as her backup.

Dong Yao didn't listen to the rest of the conversation and quietly returned home.

When Jiang Wan returned to the educated youth point in the evening, he looked a little dazed, as if he was worried about something.

After the Jiang family split up, Jiang Wan originally lived with the old lady, but Wu Yuanhua made too much trouble and she couldn't get a dormitory at school, so she had to move in with Yu Qingtang.

Yu Qingxu lived with Cheng Wuyang.

Seeing Jiang Wan was in a daze, Yu Qingtang called her, "Wan Wan?"

Jiang Wan looked at her with a somewhat slow reaction.

"What's wrong with you? Are you still worried about the Jiang family?"

Jiang Wan shook his head and sighed, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Yu Qingtang waited patiently.

After a long while, she finally spoke: "I have a friend——"

Yu Qingtang made a pause gesture: "The friend you are talking about is not you, right?"

Jiang Wan choked and a slight blush appeared on his face.

"Ahem, this is a friend of mine."

Yu Qingtang: ...

"…Okay, what happened to one of your friends?"

Jiang Wan: "My friend met a guy. She likes him very much, but she can't accept his lifestyle. Do you think they should be together?"

Yu Qingtang immediately knew that Jiang Wan was talking about the person who had just been admitted to the hospital with her, Yu Qingxu and Cheng Wuyang today.

It seems that the male and female protagonists have met each other a long time ago and their relationship has developed.

Yu Qingtang felt heartbroken, feeling that he had missed out on a bunch of golden melon seeds.

Speaking of missing the golden melon seeds, Yu Qingtang thought of Qin Qianqian who lived next door.

This combination of a delicate girl and a rough guy should be the male and female protagonists with the fastest emotional progress. A few days ago, she saw them kissing secretly in the back mountain, and he gave her a golden melon seed out of his love.

The description of this couple in the original novel was somewhat pornographic, but unfortunately Yu Qingtang never got to watch the more in-depth plot.

Yu Qingtang's deep thoughts had already run away for a thousand miles, and it was only when Jiang Wan poked her that she came back to her senses.

"Do you think that my friend and I should be together?"

Yu Qingtang lay on the bed with his chin propped up, thinking for a while and said, "I don't know."

Jiang Wan threw her down: "I didn't know you had been thinking about it for so long."

Yu Qingtang crawled out from under Jiang Wan like a worm.

"It's because I don't know that I've been thinking about it for so long."

Jiang Wan: "...and the result of your thinking is unknown?"

Yu Qingtang: "Relationships are like drinking water, only you know whether it is hot or cold. You, um, your friend, it depends on what your friend thinks about this matter."

"Too much advice from outsiders will affect her judgment."

Jiang Wan let her go and lay down on the bed.

"That's why I ask because I don't know."

Thinking that this was his first love in adolescence and they were friends after all, although the hero and heroine would end up together, Yu Qingtang felt that he had an obligation to guide the other party out of this confused and entangled stage.

"Well, I mean your friend isn't that old, why is he in such a hurry to date? Just observe for a few more years."

Jiang Wan didn't say anything.

Yu Qingtang said a few more words, then turned around and found that the other party had fallen asleep a long time ago.

Yu Qingtang: ...

Young people have good sleep quality.

Dong family

Dong Yao tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. Her cousin Dong Yue, who shared the same room with her, was annoyed by her noise and angrily picked up a notebook from the table next to her and threw it at her.

"what!"

Dong Yao was hit by the notebook. She covered her face and screamed, cursing, "Dong Yue, what are you crazy about?"

Dong Yue was not to be outdone: "You're making so much noise. If you can't sleep, get out."

"This is not your room, why should I get out?"

Dong Yue was still upset about Dong Yao crying and making a fuss and snatching her marriage away. Although she didn't want to marry Deng Xingwen, who seemed to have a better family background, rather than Mingyu, who was the head of the family.

But not wanting something is different from having it snatched away obviously by someone else. She may not snatch it, but that does not mean she will continue to tolerate her cousin's excessive behavior.

"I need to sleep. I have to go to work tomorrow. Not everyone is like you, who is shameless and flatters others for food."
