Chapter 451: Let heaven decide
Zhao Lan grasped Bai Zhi’s hand . The expression on her face was more serious than ever: “Zhi’er, can’t you think about it again? This matter is a lifetime invent, you can’t do anything about it even if you regret it . ”
Bai Zhi smiled: “Niang, you’re thinking too much, didn’t I tell you that this engagement letter is fake? I just need it to fool the Meng Family . We need to do this drama to live a quiet and comfortable life . Why are you taking it seriously?”
Zhao Lan shook her head: “No, this thing can’t be done . Hu Feng is a good boy . If you really like him, I naturally will agree with you, but—”
Some things shouldn’t be said, but she was a mother . Even if she shouldn’t, she must say it: “But now, he went to the battlefield . We don’t know if he can come back . You will be single for a lifetime . I don’t want you to grow old alone . Zhi’er, can’t you think about this again? When Hu Feng comes back, as long as he came back, you can get engage with him right away . ”
This was the difference between the ancient and the modern people .
In modern times, regretting after breaking of engagement was not a common thing . Even divorce became pretty common . But in ancient times, once you break off your engagement, especially if you’re a woman, people will look down on you and call you shameless .
Even if it was the man fault’s, people will say that it’s because of the woman’s incompetence . Even if the man was the one who can’t keep it, people will criticize the woman and laugh at her .
What an injustice!
“Niang, in fact, I am the one who made the engagement letter, you look . ” She took out the engagement letter from her purse and handed it to Zhao Lan .
Zhao Lan was illiterate, she naturally didn’t know what was written in the letter . But when she saw the red stamp, she found it particularly dazzling .
She released a long sigh and returned the letter to Bai Zhi: “This child, if that’s how it is, then let the heaven decide . ”
No one expected that the people of the Meng family will come so fast . Zhao Lan was glad that Bai Zhi didn’t get affected by her .
The visitor who came was Wu Mama . Xu Mama was the most trusted person by Xu Furen, so she let her go .
Wu Mama’s carriage parked outside Bai Zhi’s new home . The yard’s gate was wide open, people where unloading brand new furniture, such as tables, chairs, cabinets, etc . Some people were unloading the furniture, while some were putting them on its proper place .
Wu Mama slowly came out of the carriage but didn’t hurry to get down . She just stood there and looked inside . She looked up and down at the new house several times .
This kind of house was quite new . She didn’t see anything like this even in the capital .
The next moment, a young boy came out of the house and give directions to the workers . The young boy looked cute but thin .
“Who are you looking for?” The young boy walked closer towards the carriage and approached Wu Mama, then asked .
Wu Mama stepped on the footstool and looked at the young boy from head to toe: “Are you from this family?”
Zhou Xiaofeng nodded his head: “Yes, I am from this family, who are you looking for?” Zhou Xiaofeng slightly frowned . Seeing the old lady’s face doesn’t look so good, he wondered if she came to look for trouble .
Wu Mama replied: “I am looking for Bai Zhi, is she here?”
Zhou Xiaofeng turned his head and looked at Bai Zhi, who was in the yard, but he didn’t answer the question: “Why are you looking for her? Can you tell me?”
Wu Mama shook her head: “I can’t tell you, are you her brother?” Then she added to say with a smile that doesn’t look like a smile: “Rest assured, I won’t embarrass your sister . I’ll just say a few words . ”
