With that, she kept her outer clothes on, hugging her arms as she slept on the edge of the bed. She closed her eyes and remained motionless like a clay buddha.
Shen Wangxin's bellyful of words was stuck in her throat, and her heart was filled with a bit of vexation.
Aunt Lian's spine was moving up and down with her breathing, but she was breathing heavily and deeply when ordinary people fell asleep. How could she be anxious and short of breath? Although she tried her best to hide it, from her breathing, one could tell that she was disgusted with herself.
How could Shen Wangxin not be annoyed with her?
Shen Wangxin's family practiced medicine for many generations, and normally, they would listen to the kind heart of a doctor.
He originally thought that Aunt Lian was a warm-hearted person, but after hearing her words today, he realized that she had other intentions in saving this little girl!
She wasn't someone who didn't know how to repay a favor, but the problem was, she didn't promise to marry Hei Zi, right? She had already promised to repay the debt of gratitude, so how could she let Aunt Lian have it?
Shen Wangxin lay flat on the bed for a while, watching the oil on the table flicker and darken. She made up her mind that she would explain everything when she woke up the next morning.
If he didn't say it out loud and clear, Aunt Lian would probably confuse the situation once again. When the time came, he would really become a part of this family.
Shen Wangxin made up her mind. Only then did she start to feel sleepy.
But after a while, Aunt Lian started snoring, so much so that she couldn't sleep at all. After staring for who knows how long, even the oil lamp on the table that had not been extinguished was extinguished. Only then did she fall into a deep slumber.
Shen Wangxin did not know how long she slept, but she heard the sound of rustling in her ear.
She suddenly opened her eyes. It was Hei Zi sitting on the edge of her bed, staring at her shoulder. Shen Wangxin snapped out of her stupor and realized that her collar was open. A small piece of her right shoulder was exposed.
She immediately pulled the blanket over her and scolded in a low voice, "What are you doing here?"
Hei Zi's face instantly turned red.
His mother had told him early in the morning that Shen Wangxin was probably unwilling to be his wife, so he decided to wash Shen Wangxin's undergarment while it was still sunny outside. In this way, everyone knew that he had washed Shen Wangxin's apron, so why would they be afraid that Shen Wangxin wouldn't marry him?
Unexpectedly, when Hei Zi entered the room, he didn't find Shen Wangxin's change of clothes. Instead, he saw her sleeping on the bed, blushing and looking very cute. The teenage boys were already vaguely aware of the relationship between men and women. Looking at Shen Wangxin's cute appearance, he couldn't move his eyes away. Who knew that Shen Wangxin would wake up so quickly.
He licked his peeling lips and asked seriously, "I heard from my mother that you don't want to marry me. However, our family rescued you from the unmarked cemetery so you could become my wife. How could you say those words? "
Shen Wangxin quickly pulled on her coat, got off the bed and said to him, "This kind of thing requires mutual wishful thinking, I didn't promise to marry you. I will definitely repay your family's kindness, but not in this way. "
She didn't hear Hei Zi's reply for a long time. She looked at him and saw that he had a face full of puzzlement: "What do you mean by 'wishful thinking'? You mean you don't want to be my wife? "
Shen Wangxin nodded. Her attitude had always been firm, not giving the other party the slightest leeway.
Everyone knew that the second girl in Shen Family was easy to handle, but Hei Zi knew that Shen Wangxin was a stubborn person and wouldn't agree to something she didn't want to do no matter what.
He had liked Shen Wangxin since a long time ago, and he had dared to ask her privately if she was willing to marry him. Initially, he thought that she would agree to marry him due to her illness. He didn't expect her to still have this kind of attitude.
"You will be willing to do so in the future!" Hei Zi pursed his lips, and tried to take Shen Wangxin's apron before he went on top of her. "When the two of us enter the bridal chamber and give birth to a baby, wouldn't that be called mutual consent?" Mother is right! I already knew that you wouldn't want to, but you have to take your clothes to wash them before you can peacefully stay in our house! "
Shen Wangxin's expression changed drastically. Even in modern times, she would have to be convicted of hooliganism, much less ancient times! If Hei Zi really got his hands on her today, how would she live her days in the future?
She blocked Hei Zi's hand and furiously slapped Hei Zi's face!
'Pa! 'Even Aunt Lian who had just come back heard it.
When she saw the red scar on Hei Zi's face, how could she not understand what had happened? She immediately scolded in a high-pitched voice, "If I had known earlier that you were such a cruel and merciless person, why did Hei Zi and I waste so much effort in bringing you back here?"
Shen Wangxin had never been scolded in such a way in her entire life. In that moment, she was filled with rage. However, she still controlled her temper and explained to Aunt Lian, "Aunt, I'm not a person who repays kindness without repaying it. But Aunt Lian, you touched your conscience and said, who in the world gave up on today's matter? "
Aunt Lian's house had caused such a commotion, and the mud houses were not soundproof, so the neighbors on the left and right had long since heard the commotion. At this moment, they all stood outside and stuck their heads in.
Aunt Lian knew she was in the wrong, but there was nothing she could do. Everyone thought that this girl, Shen Wangxin, was already one of her family. Who would have thought that after she painstakingly rescued that girl and brought it up, she would actually put down her pride and say that she wasn't willing to marry her family's Hei Zi.
Where was she supposed to put her face?
Therefore, she thought of this idea all night long. Initially, he thought that it wouldn't be any easier. Who knew that this lass would disregard her own reputation and cause such a ruckus?
"Ah, Ah Lian, what happened? It was still fine a few days ago, so you can relax now that the couple are having such a ruckus. " An old woman walked in, looked at Shen Wangxin and said.
The second girl in Shen Family looked good. All the youngsters in the Xitou Village had their eyes glued to her. She really didn't like Shen Wangxin. As a girl, even if she was good when she was young, she would still have a frivolous personality when she grew up!
Fortunately, Hei Zi liked her, so she was relieved when she found out that Hei Zi had rescued her. Shen Er was about to get married, and his own grandson was finally missing it, right?
As she said that, the old woman saw the pale face of Shen Wangxin, and the smile on her face became even more pronounced, "What's wrong? He had such a temper at such a young age? What's wrong with saying a few words to you? You've been at Hei Zi's house for so long, you've probably done everything, what are you pretending to be innocent about? Do you really think that the entire village doesn't have eyes? "
As the sound of her voice faded, the corners of Aunt Lian's mouth curled up in a smile.
Old Lady Pan, who lived next door, had always been a talker when she was young. She became more and more talkative as she watched the old man grow older. If these words were placed on her body, she would have dug a hole and buried herself in it. She did not believe that Shen Wangxin, a soft persimmon, could endure such heavy words!
The people standing in the yard also started to discuss.
"Yeah, who knows what happened after staying here for so long?"
"Hehe, at the end of the year, A-Lian will be able to carry her grandson."
When Shen Wangxin heard these words, she couldn't help but frown. He originally thought that the ancient people were simple, but he never expected that the ancient people's mouths were even more vicious than the modern people!
No matter how good her temper was, she could not help but scowl. "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want." Elder, at such an age, don't you know how to give your descendants some morals? A lot of people are still disrespecting their elders, and they're worried that they will bring disaster upon their families! "
