Xiyue looked at Naru coldly. This woman was the original mother, but she never gave her any warmth or motherly love.
"You, why are you looking at me like that?"
It was the first time that Naru was looked at by Xiyue's sharp and cold eyes, which made her feel a little scared.
"I won't ruin your daughter's marriage, and you don't have to say useless things. Nothing happened between me and Baiyi yesterday. Can't you see that I was hurt? I didn't come back because I was hurt." Xiyue.
He snorted coldly and then returned to his room.
Xiyue's shoulder pain was severe. After returning to her wooden house, she first closed the back window.
Originally, for Baiyi's sake, she never closed this window.
"Xiyue~" Bai Yi's low voice sounded outside the back window.
"Baiyi, don't force me anymore, otherwise I will disappear forever!" Xiyue said very seriously and calmly.
Bai Yi froze, and it took him a long time to say: "I just came to tell you that I went to get salt, and it will take about three months to come back. You wait for me, I will take care of these things when I come back."
Xiyue said nothing and then opened the window.
"Xiyue~"
"Take it and return my sachet." Xiyue took out the colorful bracelet and gave it back to Baiyi.
This was considered a token of love given to her by Baiyi.
Bai Yi's hands were trembling a little, and he refused to take the bracelet. His heart ached like a knife.
That was the first gift he gave her.
Xiyue reached out and took back the sachet hidden in his belt, put the bracelet into his hand, and closed the window with a "bang".
Bai Yi stood there for a long time, and finally left holding the bracelet heartbroken.
Xiyue also cried for a long time in the house.
After Xiyue came back, she never went out and locked herself in the room.
Until Xihe slowly went up to the wooden house.
"Xiyue~"
Xiyue heard Xihe's voice and quickly stood up and opened the door.
"Dad, come sit down." Xiyue pulled the chair aside and asked Xihe to sit down.
Xihe's eyes were filled with distress, and he looked at Xiyue and said, "Xiyue, tell the truth to dad, do you like Baiyi? Baiyi seems to have that intention for you too?"
Xiyue said openly: "Dad, that was all in the past. I did like Baiyi.
But don’t worry, Dad, Baiyi and his sister are engaged, and I won’t do anything to regret Xi Qing.”
Xihe waved his hands, and then said: "Dad didn't mean that. I want to ask you, if you and Baiyi really like each other, I will cancel Xiqing's marriage, which will satisfy your wishes."
Xiyue's heart instantly warmed up, looking at Xihe who was loving and treating her sincerely. She had been in another world for so long, and apart from Baiyi, her cheap father had brought her too much warmth.
Xiyue smiled and said: "Dad, I know you love me, but Xiqing is innocent. If you really canceled Xiqing's marriage for me, how will we sisters get along with each other in the future?"
"But~" Xihe also felt a little distressed, but she couldn't bear Xiyue to be hurt again.
"Dad, marriage is about fate, and Bai Yi and I have no fate. You don't have to worry about so many things. After you take good care of your body and sell the sachet, the conditions at home will be better.
In the future, I will think about myself in the future, so don’t worry.”
Xihe sighed, then stood up slowly, touched Xiyue's head, and said dotingly: "Daddy promises you that your mother will never treat you like that again in the future.
As for your affairs, dad will let you make the decision on your own from now on. He will never wrong you and will not let your mother interfere with your marriage at will."
Xiyue smiled, sincerely, and said, "Thank you, dad."
Xihe nodded and went downstairs.
With Xihe's persuasion, Xiyue felt much better.
Baiyi suddenly went to get salt. Xihe didn't know what he said to Naru, but Naru didn't look coldly at Xiyue anymore.
Xiqing didn't say anything either, but with such a gap between the two sisters, the two sisters were no longer as close as before. They had not had a close relationship before, but now they have become more familiar strangers.
Xiyue still goes out early and comes back late every day, and then dries the flowers.
Heenan continued the pepper business.
Huang Ju would scold Xiyue every time he looked at her, and Wuchen's mother Heiyun seemed to unite with Huang Ju. It wasn't until Xihe got angry again and yelled in front of the tree house that the two old devout women finally
Stop it.
Xi Qing was very unhappy because everyone in the village said that she had robbed Xi Yue of her marriage.
Although according to this world, her and Bai Yi's love is considered a lifelong private affair, it is not allowed or dishonorable, so Xiyue really does not blame Xi Qing and Bai Yi for anything.
This is the cause and effect.
In the eyes of the villagers, Bai Yi's appearance has been ruined, while Xi Yue's reputation has long been lost. Both of them are difficult to marry, so it is actually good to get them together as a couple.
Xi Qing is not ugly, Xi Xin is a capable person, and Xi Nan is now engaged in the pepper business, which makes people in the village look upon him with special eyes.
Therefore, it stands to reason that Xi Qing's conditions are good, and the Xi family will have a great improvement in the future. Many people can't figure out why Xi Qing insists on marrying Bai Yi.
Suddenly, many people did not agree with Xi Qing and Bai Yi's marriage.
This made Xi Qing very angry.
And only Xi Qing herself knows that she sincerely fights for love. She clearly knows that Xi Yue and Bai Yi are in love with each other, and she wants to marry Bai Yi for her own benefit.
Even if she regrets it now and feels that it's not worth it to be unwilling, she still has to wait until Xiyue gets married before reconciling with Baiyi. In short, she just doesn't want to see Xiyue have an easy time.
And Xiyue thought it would be good to live such a peaceful life, until one day she was turning over dried flowers behind the tree house, and because she was tired, she went to rest on a tree branch behind Xiqing's wooden house.
The branches of this tree were lush and leafy, and most of the whole body was blocked by the hanging leaves. Therefore, looking from the direction of Xi Qing's house, no one could be found without looking carefully, so Xi Yue heard something that made her very angry.
"What are you so awkward about? You are not easy to worry about. You are determined to marry Bai Yi. My mother has fulfilled her wish, but you still dislike her.
This marriage cannot be regretted anyway. Baiyi will go to get salt. When you come back in three months and you are an adult, you will get married." Naru said angrily.
"Mom, I'm just so angry. Look, everyone in the village is secretly saying that I robbed Xiyue of her marriage."
"What? They were wrong about you, and so were you. I knew early on that the two of them were secretly in love, so you had to get involved."
"But at that time, I didn't know that Xiyue could make a lot of money by making sachets. If she didn't have the skill of making sachets, she wouldn't be able to make a fortune with just a little bit of pepper.
Baiyi is very skilled, can't he help us in the future? My eldest brother is so weak that he can't do anything, so in the future you will probably be counting on your son-in-law."
"Then what are you making a fuss about now? Your mother and I are pregnant and haven't even had such a good snack, so we should eat it quickly.
What are you kidding about? Your brother secretly bought this for you, and your father will see it later and scold me for being partial." Naru said angrily.
Xiqing was originally angry, but when she saw the delicious food, she hugged Naru's arm and acted coquettishly: "Mom, you and your eldest brother still love me."
