Chapter 1757: Chapter 1757: Opposing and then Resigned to Fate?
“Although it’s not a big deal,” the reporter continued, “I feel that it’s better to report it to you.”
Xue Shi nodded, then said, “Good at nothing but gambling, deserves to be ruined! Don’t bother with him, you all keep watching! Besides, he’s a peasant, and he has spare money to gamble, it must be from that wretched woman. It’d be best if he lost all those ten thousand silver, let’s see what good days that woman could still have!”
“Yes!”

In Wu Family Village, on a nearby hillside, Wu Lingxi was sitting there, with Wu Changcai sitting beside her, her head resting on Wu Changcai’s shoulder, looking utterly dependent.
Wu Changcai had his arm around her, his thoughts spinning, before he finally said, “Lingxi, I should have my mother propose to your family, shouldn’t I?”
In the past, he never thought about marrying Wu Lingxi, but he often deceived Wu Lingxi with his words, saying that he would marry her.
Now, as he said these words again, it was because he knew that Wu Lingxi’s family was nearly sacrificing everything for her. Clearly, Wu Lingxi brought back a lot of coins from the Yang family. If he married Wu Lingxi, wouldn’t all that money be his? Even if he didn’t think Wu Lingxi would be a good wife and mother, he wouldn’t lose out.
“After all, it’s not right for us to keep going on like this, don’t you think?” Wu Changcai added.
In the past, Wu Lingxi did want to marry Wu Changcai, but Wu Changcai always said he was willing, but his parents disagreed. Later, when she and he were caught in bed, her family secretly called his parents to settle the matter, and his parents really disagreed. They would rather have the scandal become widely known and both families lose face than let Wu Changcai marry her. Since her family also wanted to save their reputation, they had no choice but to sell her to stop her from entangling with Wu Changcai again.
But now, she was nearly worshipped by her own family, living so well, why would she marry into another family and be a daughter-in-law, serving her in-laws and looking to their faces?
Moreover, Wu Changcai had many brothers, with the youngest brother just a few years old. If she married into the family, she would be the eldest sister-in-law. Wouldn’t she have to spend money to support her young brothers-in-law? To support Wu Changcai’s whole family? Even if Wu Changcai’s family managed to get by without anyone starving to death, when compared to her current worth, it was a far cry!@@novelbin@@
Naturally, she was unwilling.
Therefore, Wu Lingxi said, “Changcai, let’s just keep things as they are, this is pretty good. Besides, your parents didn’t want you to marry me initially; otherwise, I wouldn’t have been sold by my family.”
“My parents are definitely willing now!” Wu Changcai said urgently.
Wu Lingxi immediately moved away from his shoulder and looked at him warily, “Why are they definitely willing now?”
Wu Changcai thought he couldn’t say that everyone in the village now knew she had brought back a lot of money, and his parents knew as well, naturally they would agree.
All Wu Changcai could do was coax her kindly, “Why are you getting angry? Don’t look at me like that, it’s scary. Aren’t we back together again? Last time I secretly climbed over the wall and was caught by my parents. They know we can’t be cut apart. I told my parents long ago, it’s only you or no one. They resisted and resisted, but then they accepted it. They don’t want me to really stay unmarried, so they had to agree.”
Wu Lingxi did still have some affection for Wu Changcai, otherwise, she wouldn’t always be with him like this. Hearing that Wu Changcai said he would marry no one but her, she was naturally happy inside. But she still had her reservations, mainly because she knew exactly what kind of people Wu Changcai’s parents were — stingy to death, and stubborn to death. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have refused to let Wu Changcai marry her and also refused to give her family even a single dollar to shut them up, rather letting the matter blow up and both families be shamed.
