Blissful Days After Widowhood

Gu Yin took Xiao Wu’an’s hand and walked back.

The little guy was obviously in a good mood, jumping up and down, and mutteri, “It’s too good to be true, slandering others is foolishness, ignorance and loneliness…”

Gu Yin listened and asked him with a smile, “Why do I seem to have only heard of ‘unknown and ignorant’, what is this ‘ignorance and loneliness’?”

Xiao Wu’an let go of her hand shyly and trotted into the house.

Because Mrs. Wang hadn’t woken up yet, the two of them lightly filled a bowl of fish soup after entering the door, and finished their lunch with the dry biscuits at home.

Not long after they finished eating, Mrs Xu came over to return the bowl.

Gu Yin greeted her with a smile, “Why did you come over to send it here in person? I would have asked Wu’an to get it later.”

Only then did Gu Yin realize that Xu Qingchuan had come with her, so she quickly stopped.

Xu Qingchuan was also dazzled by her blooming smile, and quickly looked away.

Mrs. Xu didn’t notice that, and only asked Gu Yin, “Is your mother at home? I have something to tell her.”

“Mother didn’t sleep well yesterday, and is making up for sleep in the room. Auntie please sit in the hall first, and I’ll call her.”

“Why are you looking for me?” They were talking when Mrs. Wang came out of her room with a smile.

She just had a good dream.

In the dream, the business of their small stall became more prosperous, and they made the twelve taels she expected in a year.

In a few years, the life of the family would improve, and they could purchase fields and houses.

When Wu’an also grows up, his family background would be good. Naturally, he would simply marry a sensible and beautiful little daughter-in-law, and spread his branches and leaves.  (have kids)

The deserted home finally would become lively again.

After waking up, there was still a smile on the corner of Mrs. Wang’s mouth, and even the eyes that looked at Mrs. Xu softened.

Seeing that she had a good attitude, Mrs Xu stopped hiding and said directly, “I’m here to congratulate you!”

Mrs. Wang hurriedly waved her hands while laughing, “You also know that our family is about to make a fortune? There’s nothing to worry about, so don’t rush to say it.”

Mrs. Xu looked at her strangely, “What fortune?”

Mrs. Wang also thought about it, making a fortune was her dream, and her daughter-in-law was also a tight-lipped woman, and she would not just publicize that she made a sum of money in the morning.

“Then what kind of congratulations are you talking about?” Mrs. Wang returned to her usual self.

Mrs. Xu turned around with a snort, “Tell her, Qingchuan.”

Xu Qingchuan showed the page that Xiao Wu’an had written to everyone, and said, “I just led Wu’an to read “Thousand Characters” once, and then let him read it for himself, and write it according to it. And I saw later that he didn’t open the book again, but wrote it by himself.”

Mrs. Wang was stunned while Gu Yin looked at Xiao Wu’an with a look of surprise, “You were reciting a thousand-character text?”

Everyone’s eyes were focused on Xiao Wu’an, who shyly shrank behind Gu Yin and refused to show his head.

“What are you afraid of, there are no outsiders here. Are you able to memorize it? Tell me truthfully,” Mrs. Wang pulled him to the front.

Xiao Wu’an lowered his head and twisted the hem of his clothes with both hands. His voice was low but his words were clear, “It’s too good to be true, slandering others is foolishness, ignorance and loneliness…”

Mrs. Wang frowned and said, “He is reciting them backward, right?”

Children started from that book. When Wu Qingyi went to school, Wang Shu often accompanied her eldest son to do homework.

She also knew a few words in Thousands Characters, but it was not like that.

The most authoritative person present was naturally Xu Qingchuan, who was a scholar, and several people looked at him again.

Xu Qingchuan coughed slightly embarrassedly, touched his nose and explained, “He memorized it backwards, and it’s my fault. I told him before that he had to memorize “Thousand Characters” in order to learn other things.”

It was an exaggeration to say that it was a flow, but Xiao Wu’an didn’t understand it, and thought that it was really necessary to do it backwards.

“Good boy, just recite it,” Mrs. Xu had always liked scholars, otherwise she would not have recruited a poor scholar to join the family. At that time, she looked at Xiao Wu’an with love and pity in her eyes.

Xiao Wu’an dared to recite the “Thousand Characters” from beginning to end.

“This is a genius of heaven!” Mrs. Xu’s voice was raised in surprise, and when she looked at Mrs. Wang, she couldn’t help but say sourly, “I really don’t know what God thinks. Giving you an extraordinary daughter-in-law with great cooking skills was not enough, he even gave you such a good child!”

The corner of Mrs. Wang’s lips turned up when she said, “This cleverness must have been passed from me.”

Mrs. Xu sneered, “You were sleepy when you were reading when you were young. There was a female teacher in your family at that time. After teaching you for so many years, didn’t she teach you to read and write?”

Being ruthlessly uncovered, an embarrassed look appeared on Mrs. Wang’s face, “His father didn’t know any characters, and his brother has been studying for several years and has not learned anything.”

Mrs. Xu was too lazy to break a bawl with her, rolled her eyes and said, “I don’t want to fight for this, but your child’s talent is so good, it would be too late if he didn’t start early! It’s a waste of this good talent.”

That was indeed a sincere and good word, and Mrs. Wang heard it in her ears, “My daughter-in-law also said before that she would send him to study, but we just arrived. We don’t know the place, and we don’t know where to find a Master for him. “

“I think Qingchuan’s Master is very good. He is a great man!”
