This was what Bai Xiaohua’s experience told her. She heard that the cousin of the Lin family was a good student. If he really went to high status in the future, how could that person care about a woman with a bad birth who can make money?
She was afraid that he would rather divorce her younger sister-in-law and marry a wife who was born from an official family and would be beneficial to his career.
Even if the cousin of the Lin family knew the shame and didn’t do that, their Aunt was not an easy person to get along with. She was afraid that as much as she liked Baozhu and hated Jiang Wu now, she would hate Baozhu more and like those officials’ girls in the future.
“Sister-in-law, you don’t understand.”
Xu Baozhu didn’t take Bai Xiaohua’s words to heart. She was a modern person and knew better than Bai Xiaohua how infatuated and noble man her Cousin Pingchun was.
It was said that after Jiang Wu’s death, many princesses cried and clamored to marry him, but he still retained the position of the head wife for her and only married a concubine to have children. How could such a man be a vain person?
“Besides, apart from Cousin Pingchun, could my eldest sister-in-law find another man who is worthy of me?”
Xu Baozhu is proud. In her opinion, as a special existence like a time-traveling girl, she may be able to attract princes and princesses, but who made Lin Pingchun an idol that she has admired for many years?
She felt like she was giving in to being with Lin Pingchun, let alone those mud-legged people in the countryside.
“Why?”
Bai Xiaohua temporarily softened her heart and tried to persuade her. However, Xu Baozhu didn’t want to listen, so she didn’t say anything more.
“Sister-in-law, let me bring this tea in.”
For this stingy sister-in-law, Xu Baozhu didn’t like her. Didn’t think she didn’t know how many bad things this woman had said about her behind her back.
She just said those words while pretending to be good for her. In Xu Baozhu’s view, this was just Bai Xiaohua’s jealousy because she didn’t like her.
Xu Baozhu took the tea tray from Bai Xiaohua, opened the door, and walked in.
Bai Xiaohua didn’t walk away. She rolled her eyes and simply put her ear to the door to eavesdrop on the conversation inside.
“It’s impossible! Don’t even think about it, I don’t agree!”
“A good girl…why…five years…”
“I won’t marry this girl…”
“Mom… likes… my cousin. I won’t marry another unless I am…”
Because there was a distance, Bai Xiaohua could only hear intermittent sounds. She didn’t know what Widow Xu said, but her father-in-law and mother-in-law seemed a little angry.
After that, they seemed to be comforted by Xu Baozhu, who entered the room later. The conversation gradually became softer, and Bai Xiaohua could not hear what they said after that.
***
While waiting for dinner in the evening, Bai Xiaohua learned that her parents-in-law had agreed to the Lin family’s proposal to get engaged first and wait for Lin Pingchun’s crowning to get married again five years later. She looked at her shy younger sister-in-law beside her in surprise.
Five years, this is five years!
Besides being ugly, having a bad reputation, and being a burden to the family, which girl would wait until she is nineteen to get married? Are girls from the Xu family so undesirable?
Xu Baozhu would actually agree to such an unreasonable request from the Lin family.
Bai Xiaohua felt that her younger sister-in-law would regret it sooner or later.
Hello~~ Do you still remember our event’s rule? If not, you can read it again in the previous chapter.
I want to emphasize a few things:
1. The event time is from Monday, Feb 12th, 2024 to Wednesday, Feb 14th, 2024 14:02 (UTC+7 timezone)
So, every chapter released during that duration will be counted.
2. The Final Number is the accumulated amount during the duration of the event (3 days.)
The Final Number will be written on the chapter updated on the last day of the event in the Comment Area.
But, it’s okay if you leave a comment each day, so you need not to count it over and over again.
3. When I say to COUNT ALL, it means ALL
A little hint: Do you realize that there is a love sign in my Ko-fi logo below? Hehe~~
I say again COUNT every ‘love’ word or sign that appeared. COUNT. IT. ALL.
PS: Btw, this event is much easier that guessing my Chinese zodiac, right? Hehe~~
❤️❤️❤️Happy counting! ❤️❤️❤️
You can support your favorite novel by buying me a cup of Ko-fi ( ˘▽˘)っ♨
I will really appreciate it. ❤️❤️❤️
