Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

Old Man Xiao was also completely disheartened by his mother's attitude.

There was no sadness in his voice, and he only said softly, "Mom, in order to divide the family, the third brother and I were essentially kicked out of the house. In order to not embarrass you two, we two brothers endured it."

Speaking of this, both Grandma Xiao and Grandpa Xiao were a little moved.

"I can tolerate anything she does, but she can't do anything to my wife and child. Wang is vicious and actually wants someone to ruin Wan'er's reputation and marry her to the fool from landlord Liu's family." Old Man Xiao clenched his fists again as he spoke.

The two old people had no idea about this. They only heard Xiao Ting say that Xiao Wan deliberately harmed her mother and had no idea about this.

Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao felt a little nervous.

Father Xiao continued, "She is your granddaughter, my daughter, isn't she? Or is she being unfilial? Wan'er has always taken care of all your new clothes and food, never missing a single one. Can't you be a little considerate of my daughter?"

"Also, when you were sick, our family couldn't afford the money, so it was my daughter Xiao Zhen, who was betrothed by her aunt, who asked for a betrothal gift of three taels of silver, and only then did she treat you!"

"Moreover, she only brought two tattered quilts as dowry when she got married!"

Old Man Xiao was really sad this time. His eldest daughter has not returned to her parents' home yet. He sent a letter to Xiao Zhen, but she didn't reply.

Old Man Xiao and Mrs. Liu had originally planned to go over the day after tomorrow to check on their daughter and give her some extra dowry. They felt useless and guilty towards Xiao Zhen.

Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao were silent.

Xiao Wan didn't expect this to happen. She was busy with her own affairs. When she got better, she would definitely go to her eldest sister's house to visit.

Liu had already lowered her head and was weeping. She had not forgotten her daughter, but she had been immersed in the fact that the real Xiao Wan was no longer around.

As a result, Xiao Wan felt a little disappointed with the two elders.

I don't say how filial I am. Whenever I get my parents' share, they are never left out. I didn't expect Grandma Xiao to say something hurtful.

Although grandpa was holding his hand, he was actually blaming himself in his heart, thinking that he had ruined his uncle's family.

Xiao Wan suddenly felt tired and a little bored. She pulled her father's sleeve and asked him to stop talking.

He stopped talking. Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao felt a little uncomfortable and could not sit still, so they stood up and said goodbye. Old Man Xiao still sent the two elders back in silence.

On the way, the two men wanted to say something several times, but seeing Old Man Xiao's silence, they kept silent.

It is true that Xiao Wan is much more filial than Xiao Ting, but Xiao Ting is under his supervision every day, so naturally he is a little more partial to her.

Grandpa Xiao is indeed fair in major matters, but he doesn't want to break up the family.

So he came along even though he knew it was Wang's fault, instead of trying to persuade Grandma Xiao.

After seeing the two elders off, the family ate in silence. Mrs. Liu was even more sad. She thought she had done more than anyone else, but her children were treated like this. No one would feel good about it.

After accompanying Xiao Wan to finish her meal, Xiao Wan insisted on walking him to the door with a stick. Zhao Mingyuan felt so distressed that he had no choice but to support her.

As night fell and the moonlight shone brightly, Zhao Mingyuan patted Xiao Wan's shoulder. He wanted to hug her several times, but he held back and whispered, "Don't worry. Uncle, Auntie, Brother Ping, Xiao Yu'er, and... me, we all care about you. Don't pay attention to the noise outside."

After hearing this, Xiao Wan suddenly felt enlightened.

Yes, I have my family who loves me and Zhao Mingyuan who protects me. I am rich and capable, so I won’t care about people who don’t care about me.

But... Xiao Wan lowered her head and pretended to be sad. She rubbed her eyes with her hands and muttered, "What do you mean by 'I have you'? Who are you to me?"

Zhao Mingyuan has always been a man, and he blushed when he was asked by Xiao Wan. Who is he to her? He is really nameless and without any status.

However, straight men can also be tender. He closed his eyes, not daring to look at Xiao Wan, and blurted out what was in his heart: "Wan'er, I, I, I like you."

After a while, he didn't hear Xiao Wan's reply. Xiao Wan still lowered her head. He thought that he had been reckless and made Xiao Wan unhappy. He said anxiously: "Wan'er, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be so reckless, I..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Wan lowering her head but her shoulders heaving. Was she crying?

Zhao Mingyuan was completely anxious. He didn't care about anything else. He hugged Xiao Wan's shoulders and apologized anxiously: "Wan'er, I'm sorry. I won't say it again. Please don't cry, okay?"

Could it be that Wan'er liked Duan Hongyi? It was possible, after all, Duan Hongyi had rushed back to save Wan'er just like him.

Zhao Mingyuan was emotional.

"So you mean you don't like me anymore? Why don't you say it anymore?" Xiao Wan couldn't help laughing and teased Zhao Mingyuan on purpose.

"No, I like you, I...should I say it or not?" Zhao Mingyuan spoke incoherently.

With a "puff", Xiao Wan raised her head and laughed. Zhao Mingyuan looked at her bright smile and was stunned for a moment. Wasn't Wan'er crying?

"Idiot, whoever said I cried, you must say you love me in the future!" Xiao Wan ordered domineeringly.

Zhao Mingyuan then realized that Xiao Wan was teasing him. Then Wan'er said that she would like him in the future, which meant that Wan'er also liked him, right?

That’s great! Zhao Mingyuan recovered from his shock and turned into ecstasy. Xiao Wan smiled and they looked at each other, feeling that the moonlight was infinitely beautiful at this moment.

The two finally expressed their feelings. They stood facing each other, grinning foolishly for a long time. It seemed as if the moon could no longer bear their affection and secretly hid in the clouds, leaving only the starlight to accompany them.
