Reborn As Lucky Star-Chapter 137 - : Have You Thought About Remarrying?

Chapter 137: Chapter 137: Have You Thought About Remarrying?

Lin Chunju was unwilling to hear people speak of her daughter in such a manner, but she wouldn’t go so far as to cause a scene on the spot.

After all, this was the way of the world, and Dong Cuifen’s words probably represented the thoughts of the majority.

Suppressing her irritation, she spoke in a low voice, “No matter what, our family needs to discuss this behind closed doors. Regardless of how others see Xiaofang, in my heart, she is a treasure. We can’t just decide based on a few words.”

Dong Cuifen’s line of work was, after all, dependent on reading people’s faces.

Upon seeing this, her heart skipped a beat, and she hastily gave her mouth a moderate tap.

“Look at me, sometimes I speak without thinking. Xiaofang is skillful and earns a lot; she certainly won’t have trouble finding a husband. It was the Qiu Maode family who pleaded with me for a long time before I put my face out there to make this visit.”

If this had been the Yue Family of before, Dong Cuifen would have left with a disgruntled expression at the first sign of displeasure, but now she spoke with much more politeness.

Lin Chunju’s expression softened a bit, “I also thank Dong Meizi for keeping us in mind, you’ve worked hard.”

As she spoke, she grabbed a handful of dried fruit and placed it in her hand.

Dong Cuifen’s remaining grievances immediately dissipated, and she said with a full-faced smile, “I’ve really taken advantage of this visit, thank you so much, Sister Lin. If there’s anything else you need in the future, just come to me.”

“Agreed!”

Lin Chunju saw her to the door, and as Dong Cuifen glanced at the new stone mill in the Yue family’s courtyard, she added another comment.

“I hadn’t heard that the third child was looking to be matched before today. If you trust me, you can also leave this matter to me; I guarantee I’ll find someone who pleases your heart.”

Lin Chunju said a few words of thanks and saw her out.

Zhang Ying and Wang Xiaoni were working nearby, but their ears perked up all the same, listening to the entire exchange.

Watching Lin Chunju head back into the house, they discussed quietly.

“Yingzi, do you think Mom would really be willing to let Xiaofang get married again?”

Zhang Ying thought for a moment, “I think what Mom said was heartfelt; she would definitely consider Xiaofang’s own feelings.”

In those days, most people still believed that a woman had to rely on a husband to survive.

From this perspective, Dong Cuifen’s remarks weren’t entirely wrong; someone like Xiaofang would indeed have a difficult time finding a match in Daye Village.

As for marrying into another village, Zhang Ying felt that after what they had gone through with Ma Jinbao, that brute, their mother would absolutely not consider it.

Wang Xiaoni was knitting rapidly, her voice low as she said,

“Actually, having Xiaofang stay at home with us is great; as a family living together, it’s better than anything else. Why should she have to marry out at all?”

Zhang Ying couldn’t help but glance at Wang Xiaoni a few times, not expecting the usually honest and down-to-earth Xiaoni to say such a thing.

If outsiders heard it, they would surely scoff; in their eyes, a daughter should be like water splashed out of the home, how could she cling to her parental home for life?

But in fact, Zhang Ying felt the same way; Xiaofang’s temper couldn’t be gentler, and with the whole family living together, they scarcely had any conflicts, let alone arguments.

If Xiaofang were to get married… who knows how she would be treated by the other party.

Meanwhile, Lin Chunju entered the room and sat beside her daughter, watching her work the needles swiftly.

Yue Xiaofang was engrossed, and it took a while before she noticed someone beside her, which startled her.

“Mom, I didn’t even notice you coming in.”

Lin Chunju smiled and picked up what her daughter was making, inspecting it, “I just came in to have a look. Our Xiaofang really is skillful.”

In the past, Yue Xiaofang would undoubtedly have been very modest, but now she just pursed her lips and smiled.

“I’m just following after Mom.”

“You little girl,” Lin Chunju hugged Yue Xiaofang’s shoulders, seeing her in a good mood, she carefully broached the subject.

“Xiaofang, have you ever thought about remarrying?”

A gentle and delicate question, yet it caused Yue Xiaofang’s face to change drastically.

“Mom, what do you mean by this?”

Has she been at home for so long that even her mother has started to find her a nuisance, just like those people outside?
