The pension plan of the ancient cannon fodder woman

Chapter 302: Falling for Wang Zhi

Su He and He Huiru sat at their own small table, and Pingniang cleverly brought a pot of lychee wine.

"Miss, I made this. Please try it and see if it suits your taste. I also made some rice cakes, which are now hot!"

Su He carefully observed the light yellow lychee wine, first sniffed it a few times, and then took a few sips tentatively.

Rich fruity aroma and just the right amount of sweetness.

"Well done, do you want to make some and sell them at the tea stall?"

Pingniang looked at Su He and smiled kindly, then she mustered up the courage to recommend herself.

"Miss, I'm pregnant again, and I want to save some money for the child."

Su He looked at Pingniang's belly in surprise, which was not yet visible. She couldn't tell at all.

"How old are you? If you don't feel well, go back and take a rest. Don't worry, I won't give you less monthly allowance. My grandma has prepared a lot of brown sugar. You can go get some. You are also from Tianyuan Village, so don't be restrained."

Seeing the host being so kind, Pingniang felt relieved. She touched her belly and answered with a smile.

"Miss, I'm two months pregnant. I don't feel anything during this pregnancy. I can handle it."

"Okay, then, when the tea stall is open, if you feel you are in good health, send some over every day."

"Yes. Thank you, Miss. I'll be out now."

Pingniang happily closed the door and left.

Su He stood up and took out a box of preserved fruits, "Aunt, let's have some with the fruit wine."

He Huiru poured herself a glass without any hesitation.

"It tastes very sweet, suitable for us women to drink."

"Auntie likes to bring some to Chuchu later, I'm sure she likes it too."

Su He ate a piece of sour apricot, which she had bought for Zhou. She tasted it herself and thought it was good, so she kept some.

"Hehua, I won't beat around the bush with you. You know that my heart is with Chuchu now. She's not young anymore, and I'm worried about her not getting married."

He Huiru moved a stool and sat next to Su He, holding Su He's hand and speaking earnestly.

"Hehua, I'm going to tell you straight, I'm interested in Wang Zhi, can you help me get the ball rolling with your aunt?"

Su He almost choked on the sour apricot sticks. She couldn't believe that He Huiru had taken a fancy to Wang Zhi.

"Auntie, why is this?"

He Huiru smiled and opened her heart to Su He.

"Since I moved to Tianyuan Village, everyone has been very friendly to my mother and me. I was very moved when I saw Dali and his wedding banquet. Our village is so happy. Chuchu told me that day that she envied Qingqing and liked this village. So I was tempted."

Su He understood a little bit. It meant that he thought Tianyuan Village was good and wanted Chuchu to marry into the village.

"Auntie, everyone in our village is a peasant. Are you willing to do that? And why Wang Zhi?"

He Huiru smiled bitterly, "Scholars, farmers, merchants, and artisans, if we count them this way, we are not even as good as peasants. Besides, Hehua, you are not pure peasants either. You also work in the government and eat government food."

"As for why it's Wang Zhi, I'm a selfish person. You see, I only have Chuchu in this life. If Chuchu looks like me in the future, she will also give birth to a daughter. Then she will be in trouble if she marries an only son. It's better to choose a family with many sons. And I know that Wang Zhi's eldest brother already has a son, and now Wen Niang is pregnant again, which shows that your aunt is not short of grandchildren. In this way, if our Chuchu marries in, the pressure will not be that great."

He Huiru saw Su He was silent and felt very anxious.

"Hehua, I am sincere, and Chuchu is willing too. You know my past, but I was forced into it. I swear, no matter how they live in the future, I will not bear grudges, but let me make it clear first, if it is the man's fault, we will take the child away."

Su He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How could Mrs. He think so far ahead?

She remembered what she had said before about getting rid of the father and keeping the son, and it seemed that Mrs. He had listened to her.

But I never expected that she would set her sights on her own relatives.

"When Chuchu gets married, I will give her a dowry of 50,000 taels. You also know that the house I built is big, so I will only use two or three rooms, and leave the rest to the young couple."

Su He was stunned by He Huiru's generosity. She never thought that Mrs. He had kept back so much money.

"I really need to ask my aunt about this. In addition, I may have to go to the city to ask Wang Zhi. After all, this is his lifelong event. Aunt, I understand what you mean, but there is one thing I want to say first."

"I also need to tell my aunt about your past. After all, Wang Zhi is my cousin, and I don't want to lie to my relatives."

Of course He Huiru was unwilling to do so. Who would want their relative to be a murderer?

But she knew in her heart that Su He would definitely tell it.

"Okay, Lotus, then I'll wait for your good news."

He Huiru left somewhat disappointed, obviously feeling that this would not succeed.

Su He didn't want to delay and went straight to Jin's house.

At this time, only Wen Niang and Jin were at home. Su He thought that the fewer people knew about this, the better, so she found an excuse and asked Jin to go to the next room.

"Lotus, what's going on?"

Su He noticed that Jin looked nervous, so she quickly comforted her, "Aunt, it's not a bad thing, I just don't want too many people to know, it's like this..."

Su He told Jin about He Huiru's past and her thoughts.

Jin didn't say anything for a long time after listening to this. "It's not easy for Miss He either. So, she knows some martial arts?"

Su He was also stunned by Jin's train of thought. This should be the case, otherwise how could she deal with Zhou Wanfu and the other man.

"This, this should be the case. I haven't asked carefully. Aunt, what do you think I should say?"

Not only did Jin not answer, she also asked Su He back.

"Hehua, what do you think? You picked Wen Niang, you have good taste. What do you think of that girl Chu Chu?"

Su He looked amused. Why did Wang Zhi ask for her opinion on marrying a wife?

"I haven't known them for long, but I think Chuchu is good, and Aunt He is not a bad person either. If we only look at the conditions, Chuchu is definitely good, and her dowry is generous. If they succeed, they won't have to worry about their lives."

"But, there is one thing I just told you, and also, I think we should ask Wang Zhi what he means."

Jin nodded. Although He Huiru had killed someone, even the county magistrate let her go, which showed that she was not a bad person. Besides, they also killed someone on the way to escape famine, and everyone had their own helplessness and sadness.

So she had no objection and it all depended on the opinions of her son and the head of the household.

Thinking of this, Jin wanted to go to the city to find her son.

"Oh, your uncle got up too early. Now there's no one to notify Zhi. The earliest he can do that is tomorrow."

Su He chuckled, "They have been chasing the traffickers these days, aunt, I will ask him when I get back. If there is any result, I will ask him to come back and tell me immediately."

Although Jin was anxious, she knew she had to wait.

"I'll go find your uncle first and talk to him."

As Jin was talking, she was about to leave, but then she thought of her daughter-in-law who was alone at home.

"Aunt, you go ahead. I'll stay with Wen Niang. We haven't seen each other for a long time."
