Yuan Mo's words were extremely clear, but Chi Meijuan still refused to give up.

"I don't believe it... You are lying to me, right? You are testing my sincerity towards you..."

Nanzhi saw her crying and chuckled.

"It's not impossible if you want to marry into the family."

Hearing this, Yuan Mo felt a buzzing sound and his mind went blank.

"Zhizhi!"

He called her anxiously and raised his hand to pull her sleeve.

My heart was beating wildly and my scalp was tingling.

He was really afraid...

He was afraid that Nanzhi would say something like "leave me alone" again...

Nanzhi smiled at him with a soothing look, indicating that he should listen to her finish.

Yuan Mo could only put down his hands nervously, and was so nervous that he held on to the armrest of the chair tightly.

The three little ones and Chi Meijuan were also staring at Nanzhi, waiting for her to continue.

Nanzhi looked at Chi Meijuan impatiently, with a hint of contempt in her tone.

"If I hadn't personally taken care of him, it would take about a year for Yuan Mo's leg to fully recover and become like an ordinary person. But..."

She paused, folded her arms, and tapped her fingertips rhythmically.

"The examination system has been reformed this year. Without my care, Yuan Mo will definitely not be able to catch up with the provincial examination in late autumn. If he wants to take the next exam, he will have to wait another three years."

She bet that Chi Meijuan couldn't wait.

She won the bet!

Chi Meijuan did hesitate.

Wait another three years...

How old is she then?

It would be great if Yuan Mo could get into high school in one go!

If she fails, it will be too late for her to remarry!

and……

The two elders of the Yuan family are gone, but they left behind three burdens...

Didn't she have to take care of him during these three years before the provincial examination?

She is here to be an official's wife, not to take care of his children!

When Nanzhi saw her eyes flickering, he knew that she was hesitant.

He thought about the tough woman today and came up with an idea.

"There's no rush, just think about it slowly."

Then he deliberately said to Yuan Mo behind her in front of her:

"I heard that Xu Xiucai from the north end is ill, so I went to see him... After all, you two are from the same village, and you can take care of each other if you serve as officials together in the future!"

Chi Meijuan's heart moved when she heard this.

What?

There is actually a scholar in this small, shabby villa?

I don't think that person has lost both his parents or is disabled!

She pressed the powder on the wings of her nose to hide her lively thoughts, pretending to inquire unintentionally.

"Xu Xiucai? Where does he live? Why don't I go with my sister?"

elder sister?

She is older than her, but he calls her sister?

Does this mean giving in and admitting defeat?

Nanzhi coughed and said with a smile:

"If you and I go, who will cook for them? Yuan Mo also needs someone to take care of him personally, he can't leave his family alone!"

After hearing this, Chi Meijuan became more determined in her thoughts.

This Yuan family is a huge hell!

Want to throw a bunch of mess at her?

She is not stupid!

"Why don't I go visit Xu Xiucai on behalf of my sister? After all, I think Dalang and my younger brothers and sisters are more dependent on my sister..."

Nanzhi knew that this woman was very cunning!

Pursuing her relentlessly and teasing her:

"Then you have to come back early, I'm waiting for you to help me cook!"

Seeing her hesitation, Nanzhi struck again with a heavy hammer:

"How about this, you stay at home today, I'll pack up and go back to my parents' house, so you two can spend some time together. I haven't been out for a while..."

"Zhizhi!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Yuan Mo hurriedly leaned forward, his fingertips gripping the armrests of the chair turned white, and he was so anxious that he almost stood up!

The two little ones also hugged Nanzhi's legs in panic, one on the left and one on the right.

Chi Meijuan was even more shocked.

How can I not wait!

So I am the one who is waiting for trouble?

She lowered her eyelashes, nodded slightly, pretended to be reserved, and said with embarrassment:

"Marriage is a big deal, how can I make the decision on my own? I still need to go back and discuss it with my elders..."

Then he slipped away.

Nanzhi saw this and called out loudly towards her back:

"Hey! Don't go to see Mr. Xu like you're coming to my house. Don't go empty-handed!"

Then he sneered:

"If you don't let her let go, she will come again when you pass the provincial examination!"

Yuan Mo felt inexplicably annoyed when he saw that she didn't care at all.

Without saying a word, he returned to his east bedroom in depression.

The two little ones were still hugging Nanzhi and crying.

"Sister-in-law, why did you just say that someone should marry my eldest brother?"

"Yes, sister-in-law, that woman doesn't look like a good person!"

Nanzhi touched the two little ones' heads and explained:

"That's called 'retreat to advance', it's a tactic! Look, did she retreat on her own when she saw the difficulty?"

Everyone wants to reap the fruits of their labor without any effort!

How many fools are there in this world to serve as stepping stones for them?

The two kids nodded, not quite understanding.

Yuan Xi ran out and bolted the gate.

Yuan Ye helped Nanzhi to make a fire and add firewood to cook.

Xiao Baoyun also silently rolled up his sleeves to wash the vegetables.

After Chi Meijuan made such a fuss.

Nanzhi was not in any mood either.

I simply cooked a few bowls of noodles in the evening and made do with it.

When the food was served, Yuan Mo said he had no appetite.

Only then did Nanzhi notice that he didn't look very well.

I took care of the little ones after they finished their noodles and sent them back to their room.

Nanzhi prepared a special meal for Yuanmo and cooked a bowl of fragrant and sweet black sesame paste.

Serve at the table.

Nanzhi discovered that Yuan Mo had been reading the same page of the book since dinner, and now an hour had passed, and he was still reading the same page!

"Eat something before you watch?"

Yuan Mo pursed his lips slightly when he heard the voice.

"Not hungry."

The voice was low and complaining, more like a coquettish tone.

The subtext is: Come and coax me!

Nanzhi, however, did not have the good temper of the past.

I get so angry when I think of that pretentious woman during the day!

He was wronged by the bad love affair he had when he was young? !

He made a sound and pretended to be angry:

"Eat or not?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Mo obediently put down the book in his hand and looked at Nanzhi pitifully.

Seeing that she was not really angry, he took the bowl and stirred it gently.

The aroma of black sesame and milk hits your nose.

Yuan Mo took a sip and put down the spoon again.

After hesitating for a moment, he scooped up a spoonful, glanced at Nanzhi and asked softly:

"It smells delicious. Do you want to eat it?"

Nanzhi was leaning on the table with her chin supported, wanting to see how he would act.

Seeing this, I couldn't help laughing.

"I've eaten, you can eat now."

Seeing Nanzhi smiling, Yuan Mo felt aggrieved again.

She kept her head down and took one bite after another, like a submissive wife who accepted punishment.

“Eat slowly~”

Nanzhi sighed softly and moved his bowl.

Yuan Mo then raised his head.

There was a bit of sesame on his lips, and he looked at her with resentment.

Anyone who sees this look would think that Nanzhi has let him down!

A foolish man and a heartless woman.

Nanzhi couldn't stand it anymore, frowned and asked:

"What do you think you're wronged about?"

She is the one who should be wronged!

Seeing how fierce she was, Yuan Mo lowered his head again.

Murmuring, "I didn't..."

not yet?

The word "wronged" is just short of being written on his face!

"fine."

Nanzhi stood up and was about to leave.

Yuan Mo finally panicked.

He reached over and grabbed her hand, almost falling off the wheelchair.

Nanzhi subconsciously turned around to support him, but he pulled her into his arms.

Hold tight.

"Zhizhi..."
