The journey of the only child of a peasant family to take the imperial examination

"Why are you in such a hurry? Be careful," Xu Er Niang chased out from the kitchen and shouted from afar.

"I understand. Don't worry!" Wang Fugui turned his back and waved his hand in reply.

Thinking that she would be able to arrange a marriage for her benefactor soon, Xu Erniang felt relieved and worked more vigorously.

She is afraid of others being nice to her. Once she receives someone's kindness, she will think of ways to repay them.

After two days of care, seeing that the old bachelor didn't come looking, Wu Ya slowly put her mind at ease and began to observe the other people in the family.

Of course, she was very grateful for Xu Erniang's care and concern. Although the two of them didn't talk much, it was basically Xu Erniang who came into the room alone to bring her food and medicine and help her with washing in the past two days. She could see how kind she was.

After hearing how Xu Erniang addressed the other family members and seeing the appearances of the other family members through the window, especially Wang Fugui's square face, Wu Ya gradually remembered her second aunt's family in the depths of her mind.

What a coincidence!

It's not her fault that she didn't remember it before. It's just that Xu Er Niang has aged too much. In addition, when she was in her hometown, she didn't go to her second aunt's house very often. Xu Er Niang's current appearance is completely different from what she remembered.

It was only after seeing the big, square face of my second uncle Wang Fugui and hearing the names of my two cousins ​​that I was sure of it.

For a moment, Wu Ya was a little hesitant, wondering whether she should tell the truth to Xu Er Niang and ask her to help send a message to her family and ask her younger brother to save her.

After all, this matter is too embarrassing. If my second aunt's family is not trustworthy and the news gets out, everything will be over.

In this era, if a woman was abducted and sold, regardless of whether she really lost her virginity or not, it would be a huge stain if the news got out. She didn't know how to face the spit of people around her.

She could imagine what those gossips would say about her when they found out.

By then, her family members would definitely be implicated, and she felt extremely regretful when she thought about the impact it would have on her family.

If she had known this would happen, she would have gone to a nunnery directly and nothing would have happened.

After this incident, Wu Ya understood a lot. She was able to live such a stable and good life in the past only because her parents and younger brothers helped her out of the wind and rain, not because she was so promising and capable.

Now she doesn't even care about life or death, she just wants to do her best to solve the problem.

After a night of careful consideration, Wu Ya decided to stay in the mountains to recuperate for a while. Now she had no hope of getting married and having children. She was disheartened and actually felt that living a life of working from sunrise to sunset in the mountains was quite good.

Like my second aunt's family, they work so hard, but there is laughter and joy in their home every day. She hasn't felt this kind of real happiness at home for a long time.

It’s not that her parents and younger brothers treat her badly, but human energy is limited. There are many children and many things to do in the family, so they can only give her very little attention.

She just hopes for a knowledgeable, interesting and polite man who can love her wholeheartedly, it has nothing to do with wealth.

After thinking about this, Wu Ya felt much more relieved. On the third day, she felt better and was in the mood to go to the eaves of the corridor with a wooden stick to help Xu Er Niang pick vegetables.

Xu Erniang was an experienced person, and she knew Wu Ya had figured it out. She praised her, "That's right. There is no hurdle that cannot be overcome. What may be life-or-death now will be nothing to worry about when you are older."

"You're right," Wu Ya smiled gently, with a hint of brightness, and most of her former rebelliousness had disappeared.

Baldy was helping to peel peanuts and was exhausted. Seeing that Wu Ya was in good spirits, he secretly moved the bag of peanuts towards Wu Ya, obviously wanting help.

Children's thoughts cannot be hidden from others.

Wu Ya thought it was cute and wanted to touch the bald head, but when she saw the red and yellow scabs on his head, she put her hand down.

He smiled and said, "Children should play more. When they grow up, they have to work constantly. Let me help you!"

"Hehe, that's good of course," the bald-headed man laughed cunningly.

While helping, Wu Ya asked, "Why don't you apply some herbal medicine to treat the baldness? It's so uncomfortable when the hair sticks together in the hot weather!"

"Well, I applied medicine before, but it healed and it's back again. This kid is too naughty and always likes to pick at it. The old saying that sores caused by picking at it are caused by sleeping is true, but..."

Xu Erniang paused and continued, "That doctor not far from here is quite good, and he's still single. Since you're also single, would you like me to be a matchmaker for you? I think this is a perfect match. 'Fate brings love even when miles apart,' they say."

"If we are destined to meet, we will meet even though we are thousands of miles apart?" Wu Ya continued.

"Yes, yes, that's it! Hahaha, look at my brain, I've never been to school, so I forgot it." Xu Erniang nodded repeatedly.
