Chapter 2181 lend a helping hand

Yang Ruoqing then asked Zhou Wang and Xiaohuan: "Sister-in-law Xiaohuan is pregnant, and her body bones look weak."

"It's so cold today. It's the fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, and the Chinese New Year will be at the end of the month."

"You two didn't even get married, you had a child, and you left your home and lived in a shack at the entrance of the village."

"This... is not a long-term solution. I want to hear what your plans are next," she said.

Luo Fengtang also nodded quickly: "That's right, cousin, you are so stubborn and have left home. I don't want to see you give up for a few buckets of rice soon."

"Furthermore, if you take your cousin and the child in her belly to start a new business, as a man, you must have a plan and be responsible, rather than just being hot-headed."

After hearing what Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang said, Blacksmith Luo and Wang Cuilian also cast their inquiring eyes on Zhou Wang.

Zhou Wang turned around, glanced at Xiaohuan gratefully, and said to everyone: "I'm not afraid of your jokes. All this is thanks to Xiaohuan."

"Xiaohuan, it's up to you to speak clearly to my uncle and the others."

Xiaohuan nodded, looked at everyone, and spoke.

"I am a son of the Prince of Xiangyang. My father, mother and brother are all servants in the Prince's Palace."

"I grew up in the Xiangyang Prince's Palace. I followed my mother and made clothes and shoes for the palace's mistresses. My needlework skills are pretty good."

"I can make needlework and sell it to supplement my family income."

"Besides, when I came out, I had some personal money. My mother felt sorry for me and gave me some."

"All together, there are nearly ten taels of silver."

"This is what Zhou Wang and I have planned. Within this year, we will renovate the shack first so that it can be sheltered from wind and rain."

"When spring comes, spend six taels of silver to buy three acres of land, and leave four taels of silver to live on, and save it for the expenses of having a child."

"Let's get over this difficult situation first. After I give birth to the child, I will write to my parents in the capital. For the sake of my grandson, they may lend a helping hand..."

Yang Ruoqing interrupted Xiaohuan, "What if your parents don't agree? What will you three do?"

Xiaohuan thought for a moment and said, "We have three acres of land. As long as there is no famine, we won't starve to death."

"I do sewing to supplement the family income. If we live a tighter life, at least the three of us won't starve to death!" she said.

Yang Ruoqing glanced at Luo Fengtang, "I've finished asking here, do you have anything else to add?"

Luo Fengtang shook his head: "The road is chosen by themselves. In this case, they must be prepared to endure hardships. It doesn't matter if they work hard."

Zhou Wang nodded: "Cousin Tangya, just be optimistic. I will definitely live a decent life and won't let my mother and sister look down upon me."

Zhou Wang's tone was a little excited, and his whole body felt as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

"They saw me and Xiaohuan living in a shack, and they were still sarcastic."

"They also incited the whole village to condemn us, saying that we were unfilial and wanted to separate our families..."

"I know that they just want to use this method to force me to go back. They want to see that I can't bear the pain and go back in despair."

"Hehe, I really won't go back this time. As long as I can live a comfortable life, it will be sweet for me, Zhou Wang, to eat wild vegetables! Xiaohuan, what do you think?"

"Yes, Brother Zhou Wang, as long as I can keep our child, I will eat anything!" Xiaohuan also expressed his stance in front of everyone.

The young couple's hands were held tightly together.

This scene is really touching.

It's just a pity that there is a little missing music...

"Wang'er, uncle, I'm very happy that you have this intention," Blacksmith Luo said with emotion as he took a puff of dry smoke, blew out a few smoke rings.

"If you want to see my uncle, don't worry about the difficult journey. From now on, you can bring your nephew, wife and children over here more often."

"As for me, if I have free time, or if I stop by your place to do something, I will go and sit at your place."

Hearing Blacksmith Luo's words, Zhou Wang looked very happy.

"Uncle, I'm so happy that you can ignore the past grievances and still come with us!"

Blacksmith Luo raised his palm to stop Zhou Wang's excitement.

"Don't get excited too early. Uncle, I have one more thing to ask you." He said.

"What? Don't say it's one thing, ten things, or a hundred things, uncle, just ask!" Zhou Wang said.

Blacksmith Luo's eyes fell on Xiaohuan again and said: "My girl, I came all the way from the capital, staying away from my mother and brother, and followed you."

"At such a young age, I have been pregnant one after another, and now I am still following you out of the house."

"It's really not easy for this girl. Shouldn't you give her a title?"

"If we live together with pregnant women like this, when this child is born in the future, how do you want the people in the village to think of him? If word spreads, adults and children will have a bad reputation, right?" Blacksmith Luo asked.

When he mentioned this, Zhou Wang suddenly felt like a deflated ball and couldn't get excited anymore.

Xiao Huan also lowered his eyes and sat there with a sad look on his face.

But she still squeezed out a wry smile and said: "Uncle, it's okay. The days are tight right now. Zhou Wang and I will make the most of the day first. Everything else is just a formality. There is no rush..."

"How can we not be in a hurry? When the weather gets warm next spring, my belly will become pregnant." Wang Cuilian couldn't help but interjected.

"In our countryside, if you get pregnant out of wedlock, you will be stabbed in the spine. No matter what, you have to have a status." The woman arrived again.

Zhou Wang and Xiaohuan looked at each other, both looking embarrassed.

Finally, Zhou Wang gritted his teeth and said, "How about this? In a few days, I will go to the town to buy some wine and meat, and invite the village leader and uncle to come over and treat it as a wedding.

Already?"

Blacksmith Luo frowned, "This is too shabby, it's impossible!"

"Besides, in the shack, there are no tables, how can everyone eat and drink? Are they all sitting on the floor?" he asked.

Zhou Wang thought for a moment and said, "If that doesn't work out, I'll go find a food stall in town and set up a table?"

Blacksmith Luo said: "This is the only way..."

"Oh, why bother?" Yang Ruoqing interrupted them,

"Go to Tianxiang House. When the time comes, invite your relatives and friends from the Zhou family, as well as Li Zheng and the village elders. There will be about a few tables. You can verify the number of people in advance and send them to me, and I will make arrangements."

"Consider this banquet as our old Luo family, your uncle's family, to congratulate you and your family on your wedding and family separation."

"All other congratulatory gifts are included in this, right?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Like this kind of family separation and marriage, relatives need to give gifts.
