Chapter 3: It’s just getting married!
Therefore, Aunt Pei San hurriedly shook her head.
"No, mother, that's not true. How could that be possible? I love Ling Xier the most."
The old lady snorted, looked at her still unconscious girl with her eyes closed, and asked about what the doctor had just said.
When Lingxi heard that God's beloved daughter had passed away and her life was no longer in danger, she sorted out the memories in her mind and reviewed how Pei Lingxi got along with the old lady. Then she opened her eyes and called out "milk" softly.
When the old lady heard that Lingxi had really fainted under the cucumber rack, her face turned dark. Then when she heard Aunt Pei say that she hadn't even called a doctor for Lingxi yet, the old lady was about to explode.
She was just about to yell at him three hundred more times, to help her recall the fear of being dominated by her all these years, but at this moment, she heard this soft, sweet voice.
The ferocious expression on the old lady's face disappeared immediately, transformed into a smile that she thought was extremely gentle and loving. She turned back to the kang and spoke in a gentle voice.
"Ling Xier is awake, that's good.
Are you hungry? Come on, let’s drink the meat porridge to fill our stomachs. Don’t starve yourself, or grandma will feel bad for you.
I will make white rice and braised pork for Ling Xier in the evening. It is delicious."
Aunt Pei swallowed her saliva, but she was actually relieved. She quickly and tactfully brought up the minced meat porridge that had been warming on the small stove.
The old lady gave her a look that said "you're smart", took the porridge, and stirred it in the bowl with a spoon. The aroma of rice, meat, and sesame oil mixed together and it tasted so delicious!
Lingxi felt a little embarrassed as she looked at the porridge the old lady fed her.
There are more than ten people in the Pei family, young and old. They eat brown rice porridge, wild vegetable porridge and the like every day. Such meals are considered good in this village.
But Lingxi is the exception.
She is the old lady's sweetheart, her treasure, the blood of her favorite and proudest eldest son. She was also a premature and weak baby, so she needs to be carefully cared for.
As I recall, she was the best treated in the family, and the small stove was often open for her to eat white rice porridge, noodle dumpling soup, and thin noodles with poached eggs.
Except for the wife he brought home, no one in the Pei family, young or old, thought there was anything wrong with this.
In the old lady's words, the things belong to her, even if it's her son or daughter who is filial to her, they are still hers, and she is happy to give them to anyone.
You want to ask her why she gives special treatment to Ling Xier.
She will tell you that God is partial to Fuzhu, and gave her a gold ring and a silver bracelet. How can she, an old woman, not be partial to Fuzhu? She learned this from God. You smart ones, please ask God not to be partial to Fuzhu!
She also used Pei Bok Joo as an example to warn everyone not to be jealous.
They say Pei Fuzhu is God's daughter! Doesn't she eat the same wild vegetable porridge and brown rice porridge as the whole family? Why should ordinary people like them eat good food?
Anyone who wants to eat good food can do that.
Just like Pei Bok-joo, who would dig up a gold ring or a silver ring from time to time, and said that God felt sorry for her and allowed her to buy delicious food to supplement her diet.
The old lady doesn't care about this matter. If anyone has the ability, they can find someone who is willing to serve them. She has no objection and will not be jealous.
The whole family regards this as a golden saying. From the old lady's actual eldest son, Uncle Pei, to the four-year-old baby Minghui who can speak fluently, everyone can recite it.
Every time someone has been oppressed for a long time and wants to jump out, this passage will be mentioned again and again by the whole family.
The second and third wives of the Pei family and even the eldest granddaughter-in-law who has been married for only two years have a deep understanding of this.
At that time, the old lady would nag in her ears while she was eating, the sisters-in-law would nag in her ears while she was working in the fields, the husband would nag in his ears while he was sleeping, and even when he was mending clothes in his spare time, his son and daughter would nag at her. In a few years, she would definitely doubt her life.
Some even felt that the old lady should favor Pei Lingxi, and that there was nothing wrong with Pei Lingxi eating alone. Even Pei Lingxi herself thought so.
Thinking of this, Lingxi was embarrassed. Because of her physical condition, she had never left the palace where she lived and had never seen the world. She also knew clearly that something was wrong with the situation.
No, it's not that something is wrong...
There's something terribly wrong.
The old lady looked at Lingxi motionlessly, and when she turned around, she saw the third daughter-in-law still standing in the room, and she exploded.
"What are you doing? Don't you have to work at home? Hurry up and cook. It's almost noon and you're still working in the fields. Who are you going to leave hungry?"
Aunt Pei came back to her senses instantly, said "oh" twice, turned around and ran out, her footsteps were so fast that only an afterimage was left.
Lingxi was stunned by what she saw. By the time she came to her senses, she had already finished a bowl of porridge.
She touched her bulging belly, feeling a little confused...
The old lady was happy to see Lingxi eating a big bowl of rice. She put the bowl and chopsticks on the table and sat down beside the kang with an extremely loving look in her eyes.
Her precious granddaughter is not only beautiful, but also looks like the Bodhisattva Guanyin in the comic books, with an air of fairy, lively and pretty in every way.
The more I look at it, the more pleasing it is to the eye, and the more happy I am.
How could God be so blind that he chose such a weird and dishonest girl as his own daughter? Ling Xier is such a good and obedient girl, why didn't he choose her Ling Xier?
The old lady felt distressed as she saw her precious granddaughter looking at her with wet eyes.
"My dear Ling Xier has suffered. I know that Ling Xier must have been bullied by Fuzhu again. Ling Xier, don't be afraid. I am here!"
"Grandma, no, Big Sister didn't bully me."
This matter is indeed related to Pei Bok Joo, but it is definitely not Pei Bok Joo who bullied her.
Today, little girl Pei Lingxi was picking cucumbers in the vegetable garden in the backyard when she heard Pei Fuzhu, God's own daughter, and her mother, Aunt Pei San, saying that God had told her in a dream that Pei Lingxi must get married this year, otherwise the whole family would be implicated by her and Pei Lingxi would be in big trouble.
Pei Lingxi couldn't accept it.
What about getting married?
How come the whole family is implicated?
She wanted to go to high school, to take the college entrance exam, to leave the small mountain village, to find her father who had depended on her since childhood, and she didn't want to get married in such a hasty manner.
However, because Pei Fuzhu, God's own daughter, had great prestige, she believed in Pei Fuzhu's words without a doubt.
The little girl felt that if she didn't get married, she would be a burden to her family. She doubted herself and hated herself. She had reached a dead end and felt that her life was hopeless and she had no desire to live...
He died under the cucumber rack, and when he woke up, his core was changed.
Lingxi couldn't understand this when she woke up.
It’s just getting married!
It’s no big deal.
Pei Bok Joo, God's biological father, is such a nice guy!
It also showed them a clear path forward!
If it were someone from the spiritual world in the past, they would just kill him if they thought he was a nuisance!
How wonderful it is that now you can marry to save your life!
As for leaving the small mountain village and looking for her father, why can't she leave and find someone else after getting married?
