Chapter 279 Private Meeting
Chapter 279 Private Meeting
Cui Pingping felt extremely disgusted when she heard what her mother said.
As for the good marriage her mother mentioned, how could being a concubine be considered a good marriage? However, she didn't dare to say this to her mother in person and could only agree reluctantly.
Tiezhu was sweating from working outside and didn't have the strength to wipe his hands, so he could only pull up his sleeves to wipe it.
He worked so hard that he was almost sweating outside in such a cold day.
At this time, Cui Pingping came out with half a bowl of water. She stopped when she was some distance away from him and handed the bowl to him.
"Here, you must be exhausted, drink some water."
She uttered this dryly, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
But thinking that her mother could hear her in the house, she could only pretend to add: "Sit down and rest for a while, but it's getting late, and you still have a long way to go back to the village."
Tiezhu hadn't noticed it before, but now he could tell that Cui Pingping didn't want to keep him, and she seemed to be trying to drive him away.
He was told to take a rest, but he couldn't just walk into any room and sit down.
If you really want to let him take a break, you can help get a bench so that he can sit in the firewood room for a while.
Tie Zhu didn't respond, holding the empty bowl in his hand: "Actually, I want to ask you, are you willing to give it to me?"
Cui Pingping felt guilty, but she nodded anyway, pretending to be embarrassed, afraid that he would notice her discomfort. "Why are you asking this all of a sudden? It's my parents' order, the matchmaker's words... If I don't want to, well, I won't tell you anymore!"
Tiezhu looked at her deeply for a while, and finally said nothing. He just said hello and left.
Cui Pingping finally breathed a sigh of relief and went to the kitchen to wash the bowls he had used with hot water several times, feeling extremely disgusted.
Tiezhu left Taohua Village, but didn't go far.
He walked into the nearby woods, where Erwa and Goudan were waiting for him.
After hearing him casually say a few words about what happened just now, Erwa couldn't help but poke him in the heart: "Look at you, you worked for someone until noon, and no one in the family offered to keep you for dinner, and you dared to agree to this marriage?"
Tiezhu didn't say anything. Then he remembered that he had never eaten at the Cui family.
Cui Pingping's father always had a cold face when he saw him, and seemed to be dissatisfied with him.
He was a little uncomfortable at first, and Cui's mother told him not to mind it, saying that he was just like that and didn't want his daughter to get married.
The three brothers stayed in a shelter near the village. It was very cold, but luckily they were well prepared. They brought a tattered quilt and wrapped themselves in it.
They waited until night, and when the three brothers were frozen to death, someone finally came.
Malay Fu sneaked all the way to the door of his house, lay down under the wall and started imitating bird calls.
Cui Pingping heard it in the house, looked around for a long time, then pretended to be calm, put on some clothes, and sneaked out.
In the next room, Cui Pingping's sister-in-law was not sleeping soundly. She heard some noise vaguely, but without opening her eyes, she cursed inwardly, "Slutty Vixen," and turned over to continue sleeping.
As soon as Cui Pingping saw Ma Laifu, she threw herself into his arms, looking like a little girl acting coquettishly.
The two found a secluded place, and Ma Lai Fu held Cui Pingping in his arms and let her lean on his shoulder.
"You damned bastard, why are you so late today? I thought you weren't coming!"
Ma Laifu was so angry that his heart trembled: "Since you are thinking about my little aunt, how dare I not come."
"Humph, you're not thinking about me, I think you're thinking about your son."
"He's nothing right now, why should I care about him? Whether I have this son or not, I love you the most."
The two of them were affectionate for a long time. Cui Pingping touched her belly and said, "It's a little obvious now. It's pointed. It must be a son."
Actually, how could there be such a thing? They were still young, but Cui Pingping still understood men. What man didn't want a son?
"really?!"
Ma Lai Fu was surprised and delighted, and he believed more and more in the Taoist priest he met.
He told Cui Pingping about Daxianer's story, and she was also surprised. She didn't expect that she was pregnant with such a promising son!
Ma Laifu was so proud: "Of course, our son can't be that bad."
"But Pingping, if it's according to what Daxianer said, I don't want you to marry that idiot, I want to marry you!"
Cui Pingping felt so sweet when her lover said he wanted to marry her. She just raised her chin deliberately and said, "You already have a wife and children. You're not going to take me to be your concubine, are you?"
"Humph, you should know that I'm not even the chief clerk's concubine. If I follow you, and you treat me badly..."
She gave me an expression that said, "I'm not done with you."
In the shadows of the corner, the eavesdroppers all looked towards the iron pillar.
Tiezhu never expected that he would be treated like a coward before he even got married. Not only that, but the more he listened to the story, the more confusing it became.
Cui Pingping was forced to say nice things to Tiezhu today, and she felt very uncomfortable. When she saw her lover, she couldn't help feeling very aggrieved.
Her father had given many expensive gifts in order to get close to the chief clerk in his early years, and only then did he gain connections. This year he even wanted her to be a concubine, but she didn't want to do that. The chief clerk was the same age as her father, so how could he become a concubine?
Later, she met Ma Lai Fu by chance and lost her virginity. Only then did she realize that he was married. She wanted to make a fuss and force him to divorce his wife and remarry, but Huang was the niece of Ma Lai Fu's mother, and his mother disagreed.
That's why I came up with this bad idea later, to let her marry into the Ma family and become his legal wife.
Hearing Cui Pingping say this, Ma Laifu couldn't help but coax her: "My dear, if I marry you, it must be a formal marriage! Our son will have a great future, how can he be a son born to a concubine!"
He thought for a moment and said, "Pingping, I've been thinking, since Mother won't let me divorce that woman, I can find a way to make her my concubine. Then I can marry you and you'll be my legal wife!"
Cui Pingping frowned: "Will this work?"
"Why not? That's what the Fang family did. Fang Jin's wife gave birth to two sons, but she still became a concubine and married the daughter of a landlord."
After hearing what Ma Laifu said, Erwa and the others in the shadows looked at Tiezhu again.
Tie Zhu: "..."
But when Cui Pingping thought about it, she was still reluctant. If Huang became a concubine, wouldn't they have to live together?
She reached out and pinched Ma Laifu: "You are a farmer, and you still want to follow others and take a concubine? Think again, divorce her!"
Ma Laifu was in a dilemma, after all, Huang had given birth to two children for him, and they were his cousins.
Cui Pingping didn't care about all this and turned away.
Since her son has a bright future, the Ma family is the one who is anxious now, so of course she has to take control.
Ma Lai Fu was anxious and wanted to call her, but he was afraid of disturbing others, so he could only leave with a sigh.
After there was no one around, Erwa and the others came out and he patted the iron pillar.
"Thank goodness Fang Tong and my sister-in-law found out early. See? This woman is really powerful. If you really marry her, she will play you to death."
Tiezhu had a complicated expression on his face. The three of them were so cold that they went back.
