My Princess Holds Superpowers-Chapter 131 - : Getting too cocky at 131 leads to harm

Chapter 131: Getting too cocky at 131 leads to harm

Perhaps it truly was a case of “pride coming before a fall,” for once Ye Gaosheng arrived home, he couldn’t manage to laugh anymore.

When they had driven the ox cart back to the house, the Wang Family’s sister-in-law was also there.

“Sister-in-law Wang is here? Please have a seat while I go unyoke and tie up the ox.” Out of courteousness for speaking about a potential wife, Ye Gaosheng warmly called out.

However, the smile on Wang Family’s sister-in-law’s face stiffened for a moment, “Such a sturdy ox, whose is it?”

With a hint of showing off, Ye Gaosheng proudly answered, “It’s ours, just bought it.”

Upon hearing this, Mrs. He’s previously sour face suddenly blossomed into a smile, “Ah, look at these children, when they left in the morning, I had just mentioned how cumbersome it is to go to town, and how nice it would be if we had an ox cart. This old woman could go out too. Despite my mutterings, these kids actually went and bought an ox.”

Ye Gaosheng twitched the corner of his mouth; why hadn’t he heard his mother mention buying an ox cart that morning?

It was clearly a spur-of-the-moment decision made by his younger sister while in town.

Ye Gaosheng was not a schemer, but he was straightforward, so he didn’t catch the hidden meaning in Mrs. He’s words, but Ye Jiu did, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold Mrs. He’s arm, saying, “Mother, weren’t you just complaining about how inconvenient it was to travel far, and now we have an ox cart. Whenever you want to go out, you can.”

“Hehehe… good, my daughter is so dutiful,” Mrs. He broke into a face full of wrinkles as she laughed.

“Indeed, having dutiful children means you are blessed, auntie,” Sister-in-law Wang chimed in.

Mrs. He’s gloominess was finally swept away, and she took Sister-in-law Wang’s hand courteously, “Sister-in-law, that girl thinks our family is beneath her since we branched out, but she’s really shortsighted. Our fourth son is tall and strong, can endure hardship, and is capable of working. There are many good days ahead. We still need to rely on you to take care of the marriage matters for our fourth son and find him a good one.”

“Auntie, look, she really is a good girl. Initially, her family also thought that dividing the household at this time of discussing marriage could leave the girl unsupported after getting married. But now that your family has this ox cart, surely no one can say anything anymore. Maybe… I should go back and negotiate again?” Sister-in-law Wang hesitated as she spoke.

After all, she knew Mrs. He somewhat, and had just mentioned that the girl had looked down on the fourth son because of the division of the household, only to find that he had suddenly brought back an ox cart.

Now, wanting to reopen the discussion of marriage, Mrs. He was bound to feel somewhat binded.

It was only then that Ye Jiu and Ye Gaosheng realized that Sister-in-law Wang hadn’t come to broker a marriage today, but because their family had split, the girl’s family had backed out a few days ago.

At that moment, the smile disappeared from Ye Gaosheng’s face.

As the rejected male protagonist, Ye Gaosheng was definitely not in a good mood.

With a clouded face, Ye Gaosheng didn’t even greet her, but went directly to the backyard, tying the ox to a tree there.

Without even thinking to take a rest, Ye Gaosheng carried the baskets from the ox cart into the main house and directly went out again, telling Mrs. He, “Mother, I’m going up to the mountain.”

After Ye Gaosheng had left, Sister-in-law Wang spoke timidly, “Auntie, you see…”

With the addition of the ox cart, the Ye Family’s living standards had certainly risen a notch above others. Had the girl not been her maternal relative, she truly would have felt too embarrassed to go back on her word about the marriage right after speaking of it.
