Chapter 140 Widow Li Offers Advice
Peach Blossom's father unconsciously loosened his grip on the stick, and the anger on his face gradually faded, replaced by a thoughtful expression.
Su Li seized the opportunity and stepped forward, saying softly:
"Uncle, look at Young Master Tang, he is handsome and comes from a wealthy family. He is sincere towards Tao Hua and will definitely not mistreat Tao Hua and the child in the future. This is a blessing for Tao Hua."
To appease Peach Blossom's father, the only thing we can do right now is to offer him empty promises.
The Tang family is indeed wealthy, but their money is not easy to obtain.
Peach Blossom's father remained silent, his eyes still darting around Young Master Tang, as if weighing something.
Upon seeing this, Young Master Tang quickly stepped forward and respectfully said:
“Uncle, I know I have brought shame upon you, but my feelings for Taohua are as clear as day. When I return to the Tang family, I will definitely come to marry Taohua in a grand and glorious manner, give her and the children a stable home, and never let them suffer the slightest grievance.”
Peach Blossom also walked to her father's side, crying, and took his arm:
"Father, he and I truly love each other. Please grant us your blessing. I don't want to lose him, and I don't want my child to be without a father. I beg you..."
Peach Blossom's father was also tired from beating her.
With a flick of his arm, the stick in his hand slammed to the ground with a thud. He swayed, bracing himself on his knees with both hands, his chest heaving as he gasped for breath.
But there was still a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
This little brat from the Su family speaks with such conviction, but she's always full of tricks, so who knows if she's just bluffing?
Just then, a commotion broke out in the crowd. Widow Li, who had always had an ambiguous and complicated relationship with him, couldn't wait to push through the crowd and sway her hips as she walked out.
Li the widow gently smoothed her disheveled hair and walked gracefully to Peach Blossom's father's side with small, delicate steps.
First, she raised her eyes and looked around arrogantly with a scrutinizing gaze, finally fixing her gaze on Young Master Tang.
Her eyes darted around, a barely perceptible smile curving her lips. She quickly leaned close to Peach Blossom's father's ear and whispered a few words.
Upon hearing this, Peach Blossom's father's originally gloomy face gradually relaxed, and a satisfied smile even appeared on his face.
The next moment, he suddenly straightened his back, took a big step forward, stretched out his thick hand, pointed his index finger directly at Young Master Tang, and shouted viciously at the top of his lungs:
"I need you to write me an IOU! This is for the medical expenses you owe the Zheng family. The Zheng family saved you and took care of you for several months. It can't be done without two hundred taels!"
"Also, if you want to be with Peach Blossom, you have to marry into our Zheng family and work for us without any complaints!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in uproar.
Marrying into another's family is no small matter!
From now on, he will have to take the woman's surname, and he won't even have the face to worship the ancestral tablets.
Not only will they not inherit any family property, but they will also be gossiped about and called a gigolo, and will never be able to hold their heads high again.
The Zheng family isn't some high-class or wealthy family, so has this drunkard Zheng gone mad?
Upon hearing this, Su Li's brows furrowed tightly, her face filled with worry.
The money wasn't a big deal for the Tang family.
The matter of marrying into the family...
The Tang family only has one son, would Young Master Tang... be willing to do that?
Su Li couldn't help but look up at Young Master Tang beside her.
Tang Gongzi had a wound on the corner of his mouth and was covered in bruises, but he stood straight and looked very calm.
He took a deep breath, stepped forward, respectfully cupped his hands in greeting to Peach Blossom's father, and said loudly:
"Money is a given, but as for anything else, as long as you let me be with Peach Blossom, Uncle, I'm willing to do anything."
Upon hearing this, those around him gasped in shock.
"It seems that not only has Zheng the Drunkard gone mad, but this young man in front of us doesn't look like a normal person either!"
"I heard he's a scholar, so his family must be quite well-off. How can he live up to his parents' years of careful guidance by marrying into another family just for a woman?"
"Oh, they've all gone mad, they're all going mad..."
murmurs rose and fell among the crowd, everyone finding Tang Gongzi's decision unbelievable.
Seeing this scene, Su Li opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Tang Gongzi's unwavering stance truly impressed her.
Recalling her past life, Peach Blossom was shocked to realize she was pregnant after Young Master Tang left.
As soon as the news spread through the village, a flood of unpleasant gossip and rumors followed.
From then on, Peach Blossom's father became a different person, living a life of debauchery and frequently visiting gambling dens, always getting completely drunk.
Not long after, he owed the gambling den a huge debt.
To pay off his gambling debts, he not only sold the land and house his family depended on for survival, but also went so far as to mortgage his peach blossoms.
Upon learning of this, Peach Blossom panicked and hastily packed a few clothes before fleeing into the back mountain, her mind set on finding Young Master Tang.
But since then, the villagers have never seen her again.
A frail woman about to give birth ventured alone into the deep mountains; the outcome was predictable—most likely bleak.
After leaving, Young Master Tang vanished without a trace, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth.
Peach Blossom's father was eventually beaten to death by the gambling den's thugs, bringing the tragedy to a close.
But now, the young master Tang in this life did not leave without a reason.
Although their relationship has broken through societal constraints and is not understood by many, the good thing is that they stand firmly together to face everything before them, which means there is still hope.
Upon hearing Young Master Tang's reply, Peach Blossom's father's expression of satisfaction deepened.
Then, just as he had said, Young Master Tang signed the IOU without hesitation.
This matter has come to a temporary end. For now, Peach Blossom's father has reluctantly accepted Young Master Tang and is just waiting for the Tang family's steward to come to the village to discuss the follow-up matters.
However, what surprised Su Li the most was Widow Li.
In Su Li's memory, Widow Li had always been a troublemaker. No matter what happened in the village, she would always stir things up and make things worse.
But upon closer examination, it turns out that the seemingly outrageous and excessive demands made by Peach Blossom's father were actually aimed at securing benefits and protection for Peach Blossom.
Widow Li and Peach Blossom's father had always had an ambiguous and complicated relationship. Su Li never expected that Widow Li would help Peach Blossom at such a crucial moment instead of kicking her when she was down.
What was Widow Li really thinking?
Wasn't she always hoping that Peach Blossom would marry her son, Gou'er?
Is this action a genuine attempt to help Tao Hua, or is there some ulterior motive hidden behind it?
Su Li became increasingly confused as she thought about it, her brows furrowing slightly, her gaze unconsciously falling on the departing figure of Widow Li.
My heart felt like it was suspended in mid-air, neither up nor down, filled with unease.
