I've been reborn, who would still raise a son from another family? Go away

Liu Yueru was not surprised by Zhang Liang's words. Her eyes fell indifferently on Zhang Liang and she looked around Zhang Liang's yard.

She said what Ye Tao said to her that day in her own way: "Ye Tao often said that she had no father and no mother. If she hadn't met the people in Liu Mansion, she might have starved to death outside. She was a straightforward girl. She said that she never asked for anything from a family like hers. She couldn't stand those nobles who had three wives and four concubines. She just wanted to find a down-to-earth family and live a stable life that belonged to them."

"Mr. Zhang is a smart man. If you hadn't appeared that day to save Ye Tao, I'm afraid her innocence would have been ruined. I would have felt guilty for the rest of my life. You saved not only Ye Tao's innocence, but also her vision for the future."

"Although your yard is a little shabby, it is very warm and clean. Ye Tao likes it."

Seeing that Zhang Liang did not speak, Liu Yueru pushed the betrothal gift in front of Zhang Liang and continued, "Some things, if you miss them, you will miss them for a lifetime. Ye Tao has bravely taken this step. Ye Tao does not mind Mr. Zhang's past. Today, we are here to ask Mr. Zhang for a matchmaker on behalf of Ye Tao's family."

Zhang Liang's eyes fell on the betrothal gifts and he was stunned. It was the first time he heard of a girl's family coming to offer a betrothal gift to a man.

"Where is Ye Tao? Why doesn't she come by herself?" Zhang Liang asked in a low voice.

Liu Yueru still had a faint smile on her face and said, "She will come."

Zhang Liang didn't understand the meaning of Liu Yueru's words, and just looked outside the yard.

Seeing that Ye Tao was not there, a look of loss flashed in his eyes.

Zhang Liang struggled internally for a while before he started to explain: "I had a wife, but she thought I was too poor, so she ran away with someone else. A family like me is not worthy of Ye Tao."

After Zhang Liang finished speaking, he lowered his head with a complicated look in his eyes, using up all his strength.

This is a very difficult thing for a man to talk about, but Zhang Liang did not want to hide anything from Ye Tao.

Liu Yueru had someone inquire about this matter from the beginning, so she did not react much to Zhang Liang's confession, but only became more confident in Zhang Liang's character.

Zhang Liang saw that Liu Yueru and the others did not respond for a long time.

He put away the disappointment in his eyes, and then returned the betrothal gifts in front of him to Liu Yueru: "I can't delay her. Ye Tao is a good girl. It's me, Zhang Liang, who doesn't have this blessing."

Liu Yueru caught the sad look in Zhang Liang's eyes. She was secretly happy and raised her eyes to ask Zhang Liang: "What if those Ye Taos don't mind? Will you still refuse like this?"

Zhang Liang looked at Liu Yueru in a panic and asked in disbelief, "What?"

"What if Ye Tao doesn't mind what you said about the past? What if she is willing to work hard with you to run a warm little home together?" Liu Yueru raised her voice a few degrees, her eyes fixed on the other person.

Zhang Liang clenched his hands. If Ye Tao could even do this, it would be wrong for him to let her down.

He hesitated for a long time before speaking with difficulty: "If Miss Ye Tao doesn't mind, I, Zhang Liang, will raise enough money to marry Ye Tao even if I have to sell everything I have and marry her into my Zhang family."

As Liu Yueru listened to the other person's words, she suddenly felt a sour sensation on the tip of her nose.

Mother Yan's eyes also turned red.

Liu Yueru looked towards the outside of the courtyard and shouted to the person outside the door in a hoarse voice: "Come in."

Ye Tao was wearing a smoky blue skirt. She loosened her hands that were clenching the hem of her skirt and looked at Zhang Liang who was sitting on the wooden pier with red eyes.

When Zhang Liang saw who was coming, his breathing stagnated and he stood up from the wooden block awkwardly.

He clenched his hands at his sides and his face turned visibly red.

"I, I'll go get you a cup of tea." After Zhang Liang said that, he turned around and ran into the kitchen.

After a long time, he reluctantly brought out a bowl of scented tea from the kitchen and carefully placed it in front of Ye Tao.

Ye Tao's eyes were still red. She took the tea from Zhang Liang and drank it in big gulps, then put the bowl aside.

Then he asked, "Does what you just said still count?"

Zhang Liang's gaze stayed on Ye Tao's face for a moment, and then he quickly looked away.

He understood that although Ye Tao was a maidservant beside Madam Liu, her life was better than following him.

Zhang Liang moved the patched clothes on his shoulders to the side and did not answer Ye Tao for a long time.

When Ye Tao saw that he remained silent, the grievance in her heart was instantly aroused, and the tears in her eyes almost fell.

The voice was trembling as he asked, "Listen, I don't mind that you are poor, that you have a wife, and that you have nothing at home. I care about you. I will only do this once. Think about it before you answer. Now I ask you, do you keep your word to your wife?"

Zhang Liang was choked by Ye Tao's words. He looked at the beautiful dress Ye Tao was wearing, her fair hands, and the hairpin on her hair. These were things he could not give to Ye Tao.

Zhang Liang regretted what he had just said to Liu Yueru. Faced with Ye Tao's kindness, he backed down a little.

Ye Tao waited a long time for Zhang Liang's response, and tears rolled down her cheeks.

Zhang Liang panicked for a moment and said to Ye Tao: "I don't want to wear mended clothes with me. You are a good girl. I..."

"Shh..." Ye Tao's dress was torn by her hand. She forced a smile on her face and looked at Zhang Liang with tears in her eyes.

"My clothes are already torn, but I still want to wear the dress you made of straw. It's very beautiful." Ye Tao said in a hoarse voice.

Mother Yan wanted to speak and persuade her.

But Liu Yueru pulled out his sleeve and shook his head secretly.

Mother Yan felt distressed when she saw Ye Tao like this.

Zhang Liang looked at Ye Tao's actions with a slightly stunned expression, and his eyes were full of heartache when he looked at Ye Tao.

Subsequently.

He pushed back everything Liu Yueru had brought.

Before Zhang Liang could even open his mouth to speak.

Ye Tao ran out crying first, and then said to Zhang Liang: "I, I hate you."

"Ye Tao." Mother Yan hurriedly followed.

Liu Yueru looked at the thing handed over to her on the table, her eyes darkened, and she looked at Zhang Liang in confusion.

"Master Zhang, is there something wrong with Ye Tao? Or do you already have someone in your heart?"

Zhang Liang looked at the direction Ye Tao ran away, his heart full of worry and anxiety.

"No, Madam Liu, I don't mean that. Miss Ye Tao is very good. She is the bravest girl I have ever met. She can do this for me, so I should not let her down."

Zhang Liang took a deep breath.

Liu Yueru looked at the returned items and recalled what Zhang Liang had just said, and suddenly understood what Zhang Liang meant.
