Pan Lingdi thought about it all night but still couldn't figure out what her father was planning.

When she woke up the next morning, she was still restless.

No matter what, she had to find out what her parents were planning.

However, it is not so easy to find out the truth.

Since then, Pan Lingdi has tried to eavesdrop on her parents' conversations many times, but her parents seemed to have reached a consensus, and she never heard a word about the matter again.

Pan Lingdi was very disappointed and anxious. Another year passed in the blink of an eye. As she got older, she still couldn't figure out the truth. She gradually became anxious...

Until this day, the little aunt from my third uncle's family came back to her mother's home to visit relatives. They met on the road and greeted each other. The little aunt also greeted several aunts nearby before leaving.

When the young aunt walked away, the ladies suddenly started to murmur, "Is this Uncle San's daughter Mao Nier? She looks easy to talk to, and doesn't seem like the evil person her sister-in-law said she was?"

"Ah, you don't know this, right? You haven't seen what her man looks like. If you had seen him, you would know that even a person with a good temper would be driven crazy if he lived with a man like that!"

"If that's what you're saying, then Mao Ni'er's husband and her brother are probably the same kind of people."

"Almost the same, but her husband is not as good as her brother. Although Mr. Pan is not good-looking, he is capable. Not only can he do the housework, but he can also build houses and cut pieces... Mao Nier's husband is not good at anything. He relies on Mao Nier for everything..."

"No wonder Mao Ni'er looks older even though she is several years younger than his sister-in-law!"

……

Pan Lingdi was completely confused, but she had a vague feeling that if she could find out more about her aunt, perhaps her long-standing doubts would be resolved.

So, seeing that the ladies were changing the subject and talking about something else, she couldn't help but ask, "Auntie, what do you mean by what you just said about my Aunt Mao Nier and my Seventh Aunt?"

When the ladies saw Pan Lingdi asking the question, they looked at each other and couldn't help but smile meaningfully: "Lingdi, let me ask you, what should your aunt Mao Nier's children call your seventh uncle?"

"Of course I call you uncle."

Pan Lingdi said without thinking.

Mao Ni'er is Uncle Seven's biological sister, so her children naturally call Uncle Seventh Uncle.

The lady smiled and nodded: "What you said is indeed true, but the children of your Aunt Mao Ni can call you Uncle Seventh Uncle in addition to Uncle Seventh Uncle, you also know that?"

Pan Lingdi didn't react for a moment, and when she wanted to ask again, the ladies had already left.

This matter had been on Pan Lingdi's mind. Before going to bed at night, she carefully sorted out the relationships involved. Soon, she discovered that if what the aunties said was true, it meant that Mao Ni'er and her sister-in-law had married each other's brothers respectively!

Change of marriage!

These two words exploded in Pan Lingdi's heart like a thunder!

Almost at the same time, Pan Lingdi had confirmed that the reason her parents were unwilling to let her get married was that they were preparing to use it to find a wife for Pan Qiang in case it was difficult for him to find a wife in the future!

After figuring this out, Pan Lingdi had nightmares all night, and in the morning, she couldn't get up...

She lay in bed for several days without eating or drinking, and she didn't cry or make a fuss. When her mother spoke to her, she pretended not to hear.

After not eating the food cooked by Pan Lingdi for several days, 12-year-old Pan Qiang could not help but go to her bedside to persuade her: "Third sister, what's wrong with you? If you are sick, go see a doctor. How can you always lie in bed?"

Pan Lingdi looked at Pan Qiang with eyes full of hatred, which scared Pan Qiang so much that he couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"Third, Third Sister, why are you looking at me like that? It's like you're looking at an enemy."

Pan Lingdi didn't say anything. She knew that she shouldn't vent her anger on Pan Qiang. He was only 12 years old and knew nothing about his parents' plan.

But she really couldn't help it. Even if Pan Qiang knew nothing, he was the beneficiary!

Finally Pan Qiang ran out crying...

How could he, who had always been spoiled, stand such humiliation? He ran to his parents to complain.

Not long after, Pan's mother came to find Pan Lingdi.

"Lingdi, have you guessed it?" she asked straight to the point.

Pan Lingdi showed a mocking expression: "What did you guess? Did you guess that you were going to use me as a marriage partner for Pan Qiang?"

Pan's mother looked embarrassed: "Lingdi, your father and I are just taking precautions. If Qiangzi is incompetent in the future, do you have the heart to watch your only brother become a bachelor in the future?"

Pan Lingdi burst into tears and said angrily, "I can't bear it. If you can bear it, then I will find him a new wife. Why can't I bear to watch him be single?"

Pan's mother knew that the more it was now, the more they could not be tough with Pan Lingdi. Otherwise, if Pan Lingdi got angry and eloped with a strange man, not only would they not be able to use her as a marriage replacement for Pan Qiang, they wouldn't even be able to receive a penny of the betrothal gift!

Pan Qiang is only twelve years old. If he wants to get married, it will take at least a few years. Pan Lingdi is a living person after all. They can't keep her locked up at home forever, right?

If she really takes the opportunity to run away, it would be a real waste of time!

Thinking of this, Pan's mother's knees suddenly weakened, and she knelt directly in front of Pan Lingdi's bed...

"Lingdi, I beg you, just stay at home for a few more years. Your father and I are old, so you should take care of the family. Don't worry, when Qiangzi is older, we will arrange a marriage for him immediately. As long as he can settle down, you can get married with peace of mind..."

Pan Qiang, who was secretly watching outside, became furious when he saw Pan's mother kneeling down and begging Pan Lingdi.

He rushed to Pan Lingdi's bed angrily and accused her: "You are so mean. How could you let my mother kneel down to you? She is our mother!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to pull Pan's mother up, but Pan's mother pushed him to the ground and knelt down: "Qiangzi, you and mother beg your third sister together..."

Pan Qiang was stunned for a moment.

Pan Lingdi was finally forced to agree to Pan's mother.

However, from that day on, Pan Qiang and Pan Lingdi became estranged.

The brother and sister, who were originally very close, also became estranged.

Pan Lingdi has never been able to accept that her existence is just to find a new wife for Pan Qiang!

Pan Qiang also always remembered that Pan Lingdi forced him and his mother to kneel down before her.

Although he still didn't know why his mother knelt down to Pan Lingdi, in his opinion, Pan Lingdi forced his mother to kneel down to her, no matter what the reason was, he could not forgive her!

Until that day, he heard his parents' plan with his own ears...
