Chapter 6
Wen Wan didn't expect Song Wei to agree directly, but she didn't know how to respond.

"Aren't you going to attend class? Get up first." Song Wei said, stretching out his hand towards her, as if realizing that he was abrupt, and retracting his hand again. The movement was natural and did not appear deliberate.

Wen Wan's cheeks were a little hot, and in front of him, she felt like a little doll who didn't know much about the world.

When she stood up, she pretended to inadvertently bent down and patted the ashes on her trouser legs. No matter how well she concealed it, the careful thought behind that action could not escape the man's eyes that had experienced thousands of sails.

Song Wei couldn't help but laugh.

Wen Wan straightened her waist, Song Wei had already turned her back and walked straight forward.

She patted her chest lightly, breathed a sigh of relief, and stepped up to keep up, but didn't get too close.

In late September, the sorghum has matured, with red tassels, and when the wind blows, there is a rustling sound. The sorghum walls are surrounded on both sides.

Listening to her irregular walking sound, Song Wei's lips curled up.

When Wen Wan returned home, she saw Mrs. Wu coming again. The mother and daughter didn't know what to say in the room, the voice was too low for her to hear.

Wen Wan put down the pan, and in the pan was the pigweed she picked up along the way home.

She got up and went to the cowshed, taking advantage of Zhou's unpreparedness, she let the cow out quietly, and then went into the stove room to prepare dinner.

Not long after, Wen Shun rushed in from outside, yelling loudly, "Mom, why did you let the cow out?"

When Mrs. Zhou in the room heard it, her eyelids twitched, and she immediately opened the curtain and walked out, "What did you say?"

Wen Shun pointed to the outside, and said eagerly: "Our cow ran out and got into a fight with Ergou's big bull, and one horn was knocked off."

Zhou's face turned pale, "Where is it? Take me to have a look."

If a man knows that she stays at home all day, she can't even look after a cow, and she will be scolded at night.

Mrs. Wu followed her out and saw some movement in the kitchen, she knew it was Wen Wan, she wanted to ask that stuffy girl if she knew anything about cattle, but who would have expected that just as she walked to the door, a pot of vegetable washing water splashed inside? When he came out, he poured a chill on Wu's heart.

Wu's feet jumped in anger, "Damn girl, you don't have eyes?"

Wen Wan seemed to have just heard that Mrs. Wu was coming, holding a basin, she stood helplessly by the stove, with a perfunctory apology on her face.

Wu's body was mostly wet, and she was so angry that she was about to point at her and curse, when Zhou came in and said in a low voice: "Mother, forget it, why are you fighting with a dumb, you annoyed her, and later Two days after Mr. Zhao came to pick her up, she became fussy, so it's not easy for us to deal with business."

For the sake of her daughter, Wu Shi had no choice but to temporarily suppress the anger in her heart, snorted coldly, found a set of Zhou Shi's old clothes and hurried home.

When Father Wen came back in the evening, he learned that the cow ran out to be put on the shelf without a tie, so he scolded Mrs. Zhou.

Zhou was sobbing, wiping her tears and saying that her mother came during the day, and the two of them had been in the house all the time, so they didn't pay attention, and they didn't know when Niu ran out.

When I asked here, I thought of Wen Wan, and looked over.

Wen Wan was eating quietly, turning a blind eye to Zhou's eyes.

Seeing her ignoring her, Mrs. Zhou felt annoyed, but she didn't dare to explode in front of Father Wen, "Wanniang, you've been in the kitchen all day, how did you escape without seeing the cow?"

Wen Wan shook her head, then turned to sign language to Father Wen.

Even though Mrs. Zhou has been married to Wen's family for so many years, she still can't understand what Wen Wan's sign language means.

After Father Wen understood, he frowned.

Wen Wan said that she came home not long before Wen's father, and went to the kitchen to cook dinner as soon as she came back, and she didn't know about the cow running out.

"If I had known it would be such a hassle, I might as well have sold it directly." Father Wen said with a sullen face.

Mrs. Zhou felt displeased, "Isn't it just that a horn has fallen off? It's no big deal. I don't need the cows for a while, and they will almost be ready to go to the ground in the spring of next year."

Zhou felt that today's matter had something to do with Wen Wan, but Father Wen didn't blame her, she didn't dare to say anything, but complained about Wen Wan behind her back.

When they had no idea before, although the mother and daughter were not very harmonious, they managed to get by. Now that they have an idea, they can't wait to marry this oily bottle in exchange for money so that she won't stay at home all day and be an eyesore.

How could Wen Wan fail to see the careful thoughts of the stepmother, after tidying up the dishes, she went back to the house to pack her things.

Father Wen was sitting in the small courtyard smoking a cigarette, and when he saw that Wen Wan was leaving with a bag, he stood up in fright, "Niang Wan, what are you doing?"

Hearing the voice, Mrs. Zhou in the back room also lifted the curtain and went outside, staring at Wen Wan in a daze.

Wen Wan signed sign language to Wen's father, meaning that last night she dreamed that her stepmother sold her for five taels of silver, she was scared and wanted to hide at her uncle's natal house for two days.

Father Wen glanced at Mrs. Zhou at the door with a complicated expression, and then comforted Wen Wan, "Dreams are always reversed, don't worry too much, your stepmother is not that kind of person either."

Wen Wan pretended to raise her sleeves to wipe away her tears, she was beautiful, this "crying", father Wen immediately had nothing to do.

Seeing Father Wen looking at her all the time, Mrs. Zhou felt a little confused, "What are you father and daughter talking about?"

Seeing his daughter crying sadly, father Wen had no choice but to tell Wen Wan's "dream", then sat back down, took a pipe and knocked ashes on the foot of the stool, "Even if our family is too poor to open the pot, we can betray our daughter Is there something nasty about it?"

Zhou's heart skipped a beat, but she forced a smile on her face, "That's right, Wanniang, don't think too much, it's just a dream, how can it be taken as real?"

Wen Wan didn't listen, but she cried hard. In the end, under Wen's father's persecution, Zhou had no choice but to give Wen Wan a reassurance, and swore to God that she would never hit her with his thoughts, so Wen Wan was willing to give up. .

Wen Wan let it go, but the stepmother suffered so much, she reluctantly returned the five liang of silver that was already in her pocket, but the town master refused to admit it, saying that they broke the contract first and had to pay double the money, otherwise they would sue the government.

When Mrs. Zhou heard that she was going to make a scene with the government, her legs were so frightened that her legs went limp. She had no choice but to ask his wife Mrs. Wu.

Mrs. Wu didn't expect that the original seamless plan would be ruined by a "dream" of that girl's film. With hatred, she took out the private money that she had hidden for a long time and returned it to the town master. She couldn't swallow this breath. When he came back from the town, he was going to go to Wen Wan's house to settle accounts with Wen Wan, but only when he entered the door did he find out that Wen's house had a visitor.

This "guest" is none other than the matchmaker Feng who came to protect Wang Zizi's matchmaking not long ago.

When Wu's and Zhou's mother and daughter entered the main room, Matchmaker Feng was talking with Father Wen. She guessed that she had received a lot of benefits from the man's family, and her attitude was more polite than last time. "Brother Wen, you should settle this matter carefully." Let’s sum it up, the Song family’s conditions are good, Wanniang married, and she was only a stepmother in name, and Song Yuanbao was not San Lang’s biological child, besides, he was already seven years old, so he didn’t need anyone to take care of him anymore. With a young one, life will be smooth soon. If you want me to say, there is nothing more cost-effective than this marriage, and your family Wanniang is blessed."

Matchmaker Feng's words were just a reminder to Father Wen: You don't care about your daughter's virtues, and Song Wei doesn't think she is dumb, so there is already smoke on the Wen family's grave. Missing all the marriage, it can only be that your second son Wen is muddy and blind!
Father Wen breathed out smoke rings and remained silent.
