General, the lady escaped again

After Fang Chen left, Aunt Li immediately walked to Ji Xiaomu's side, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

"Godmother, just say it directly." Seeing that Aunt Li seemed to have something to ask, Aunt Ji spoke.

"...Girl, when did you get to know the little cowherd? You even gave him mung bean soup... Could it be that you have taken a fancy to him?" Aunt Li asked carefully, looking at Ji Xiao's face.

Ji Xiaowu shook her head. "Godmother, you can say this in front of me, but don't mention it outside. He just came to borrow some water, and I saw some mung bean soup so I poured him a bowl. What are you thinking?"

Since he wanted to distance himself from the matter, Ji Xiaomu would naturally not ruin his plan.

"You are a kind-hearted girl, but unfortunately you have a hard life." Aunt Li sighed, "Fang Chen is a good guy, but he has no background, no house, no land, and no money. He lives by plowing the land with a few cows for the village. He is a good boy, but now he has wasted his time and is still unable to find a wife in his twenties."

"So you all call him Little Cowherd?" Ji Xiaowu asked curiously. In his twenties? With a beard, she thought he was thirty...

"Yes! There was an old cowherd in the village. According to seniority, he should be a young cowherd!" Aunt Li said, "Unfortunately, all his family members died and he was the only one left. He did have relatives, but they were all unreliable. When he was still young, he was almost sold by his relatives to be a prostitute. Fortunately, this boy was smart and ran to the mountains without being caught. Later, he disappeared for a few years and no one knew where he went. I heard that he became a soldier and just returned to the village last year."

Aunt Li also sighed, these two children had miserable lives.

"It sounds like he is not much better than me..." Ji Xiaomu nodded. Her life experience was just as miserable.

Having served in the army and fought on the battlefield, it's no wonder he is so masculine, so strong that it's suffocating.

It's a pity that you can only look at it but not eat it.

"Okay, take a rest. Old Wang and his friends might come over to share the table to eat. Your father asked me to bring you some food, fearing that you might not have enough." Aunt Li stood up and patted her legs. "I'll come back and help you later."

"It's okay, I can handle it by myself. These are just a few dishes! Godmother, you're tired after a day, so take a good rest! No need to help me, I can handle it." Aunt Ji smiled, pushed Aunt Li back to rest, and then returned to her own shabby house.

Lying alone in bed, looking at the dilapidated house, this is probably what "bare walls" means. It seems that she still needs to think about how to make money.

Going deep into the mountains to fish is not a long-term solution. After all, I almost couldn't come back last time. I have to think of another way to make some money to improve my life.

But, what can she do to make money...?

While Ji Xiaomu was thinking about how to make money, the Liu family was preparing for the wedding of Liu Wencai and Wu Mengniang. Different from the indifference when Ji Xiaomu got married, this marriage made Liu Wencai feel that he was about to marry the woman he loved most and start a family.

"Dad, Mom, you must make good arrangements! Don't let Meng Niang feel wronged." Liu Wencai instructed his parents. Mother Liu was cutting the word "happiness" out of red paper. When she heard her son's words, she immediately responded with a smile. "Son! Don't worry, I will make it a grand wedding for you this time. Tell Meng Niang to be careful and don't drop my grandson."
