Countdown to Awakening

She put down the noodles and went out.

Just as I walked out of the cowshed and was about to lock the door, I heard the sound of an iron basin falling heavily to the ground from inside.

"Bang!"

This was followed by the girl's soft sobbing.

Xu's mother sighed, thinking that it was a good thing the bowl of noodles was in a basin. Otherwise, what if she had used the broken pieces of the bowl to commit suicide? Wouldn't she have wasted her money on this woman?

It is unfair that she has to live in the cowshed, but she won't be unfairly forced to live here for the rest of her life.

They were still waiting for her to give birth to a grandson to continue the Xu family's lineage. What a shame it would be if she died like this?

Mother Xu just sighed.

At this time, Old Man Xu came out of the house.

"Mom, what's wrong? What did you do in there? Just now, I heard some noise inside. What happened?" asked old man Xu.

Xu's mother shook her head and said, "It's nothing. I just sent a bowl of noodles in. She didn't appreciate it, so there's nothing I can do... Judging from the noise just now, it must have fallen."

When Old Man Xu heard this, he became furious. Wasn't this a lack of respect for him? She didn't even appreciate the noodles being brought to her, and she even threw them away. Normally, they couldn't even afford to eat them themselves, yet she even made them and brought them to her. Shame on him!

Old Man Xu thought about it and was about to rush in.

Xu's mother reached out to stop him. "Don't go in. Once you go in, things will change. Don't go in. If you go in and see, she'll start making a fuss again. Just wait, she'll get hungry eventually. She can't go on a hunger strike."

Old Man Xu finally calmed down. That's right. A girl from the city like this is so delicate, how could she possibly not eat? She wouldn't gain anything from going on a hunger strike.

"Mom, you even added an egg to her noodles. We don't usually eat this well. What's so good about this woman adding an egg to her noodles? She just ate one egg after buying it. What if she gives birth to a son? How many eggs will she have to eat then? We don't usually have that kind of money. She ate it all. Isn't it hard to earn this money?"

Xu's mother didn't say that the girl threw the noodles. If she had said it, her son would have been even more angry and would have gone in to deal with the girl.

Although the child couldn't beat the woman just now, if he really got angry, it's not certain who would win.

If the woman gets hurt, isn't that their responsibility? If she gets hurt and can't have a son, then wouldn't that mean there's no future for her?

"Calm down and don't go in and cause trouble. That girl doesn't want to see you the most. If you go in now, won't you be adding fuel to the fire?" Xu's mother said, looking at him again.

This silly son just wanted to go in. The girl was most afraid of him, but he still wanted to go in. If he let the girl run away, wouldn’t he be left without a wife?

Silly son, take it easy...

Old man Xu smiled innocently.

"Mom, you're right, hehehe... I'm not going in. If I go in, I'll just cause more trouble. I'm going back to my room to rest."

Xu's mother said, "That's right. I'll arrange a wedding for you two in a few days. Although we can't afford a grand wedding in the city, this little one will do. Girls can't be so picky."

Old Man Xu's eyes rolled and he felt a little uneasy.

"Mom, how long do we have to wait? I want to enter the bridal chamber right now. I can't wait that long. I haven't touched a girl in years. How can I wait for such a beautiful girl?"

"Tsk, silly son, wait a minute, let's talk about it after this period has passed. If you hold the wedding now, who knows what that girl will say. If she starts talking nonsense, you won't be able to get married for sure."
