Rebirth of a Village Girl novel Chapter 1132

Chapter 1132: 287: May you gather much, this object most evokes longing_6

"Dude, what character is this?"

Since the time when Zhao Yu got a taste of Dude’s ruthlessness, he dared not to call Dude a little jerk anymore.

Ying Ying Ying...

It was really too scary!

Thinking back on his past self, Zhao Yu felt he was truly like a fearless calf that knows nothing of the tiger’s might.

Adorably foolish.

Dude looked at the pair of hands draped over his shoulder with a bit of helplessness, "Can you not stand so close to me?"

Zhao Yu said speechlessly, "We’re all men here, what’s there to be afraid of?"

Dude unemotionally pushed Zhao Yu’s hand away, keeping his distance, "This is the character ’Ben’ in its rare form, which is homophonic to ’run’ and also means to sprint."

Zhao Yu scratched his head, "This is too difficult! It’s just too hard! Being human is really exhausting!"

"You’re just too dumb," said Dude, twirling the Buddha Beads, without mincing words.

Zhao Yu suddenly noticed that the Buddha Beads in Dude’s hands were different from usual; these beads were very red, shining brightly, making Dude’s hands appear even fairer and more slender.

"Did you change your Buddha Beads? What are these made of? The color is so pretty!"

Dude’s expression remained unchanged, "They are called ’blood bodhi’."

Zhao Yu reached out her hand, "Can I take a look?"

"No." Dude refused directly.

His sense of territory was too strong; no ordinary person should even think about touching his belongings.

"Hmph! Stingy!" Zhao Yu rolled her eyes at him.

"But what the heck is ’blood bodhi’?" Zhao Yu continued to ask.

"Blood bodhi is blood bodhi," Dude replied, his tone indifferent, not wanting to explain any further.

Zhao Yu was really too curious, she remembered the name ’blood bodhi’ and went to look it up in books later on, finally finding such an explanation: blood bodhi is also known as Sea Red Beans.

There’s a poem about it.

Sea Red Beans grow in the south, budding a few branches in spring.

I hope you pick more, for this thing evokes the deepest longing.

Later, Zhao Yu found another line of poetry: The exquisite dice admit Sea Red Beans, deep longing, do you know or not?

Both poems suggest that Sea Red Beans symbolize longing.

Longing.

Longing.

Zhao Yu rested her head on her left hand, who could Dude be longing for?

Zhao Yu thought hard but couldn’t come up with an answer.

For someone like Dude who might fall for another person seemed bizarre in itself.

Maybe she was wrong, perhaps Dude didn’t wear the beads because they symbolized ’longing’?

Zhao Yu lifted her head to look out the window, where the moon was large and round, casting a layer of radiance over the earth, accompanied by the pleasant sound of frogs.

Lulled by the frog chorus, it wasn’t long before Zhao Yu drifted into dreamland.

The eighth day of the seventh lunar month is a good day; today, Wu Chenjun’s parents and grandparents were visiting the Ni Family. The parents and elders from both sides sat together to discuss the wedding date for the two children.

After unanimous decision by the parents, the wedding date was set for the eighteenth day of the eighth lunar month; there was more than a month left from now, providing ample time to prepare various things.

Wu Chenjun was in high spirits due to the joyful occasion; he didn’t expect that he and Shangguan Xi’s day would come so soon.

Shangguan Xi also didn’t expect that in the end, she would walk down the aisle with Wu Chenjun.

Ni Yang, smiling, said, "Sister Xiaoxi, you don’t need to buy roses for the wedding, just have people cut them directly from the flower fields when the time comes, and after the wedding ceremony, they can be reused."

Mo Qishen, with his arm around Ni Yang’s shoulder, added, "Also, don’t worry about the wedding dress and groom’s suit, I’ve ordered a set to be customized from France."

Ni Cuihua smiled and said, "Nothing major, just wanted to have a chat with you." freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

They say that being a stepmother is difficult, but Ni Cuihua has never felt the meaning of this saying with Shangguan Xi and Shangguan Xu.

These two kids were too sensible. From the first day she was with Shangguan Dehui, they never caused her any worry.

Now that Shangguan Xi was about to get married and leave, as a mother, she really couldn’t bear to part with her.

"Mom, what are you talking about? Since you married Dad, you’re my mom! And besides, you’ve been wonderful. There’s a saying that empathy begets kindness. You’ve been good to us, and it’s only right that we are good to you too! Also, I want to thank you. It’s your presence that’s brought warmth to our home, and it’s you who made my brother and I feel maternal love and the warmth of a family."

Saying this, Shangguan Xi reached out and hugged Ni Cuihua.

Ni Cuihua’s eyes reddened slightly, "Xiaoxi, thank you."

"It’s me who should be thanking you."

Before Ni Cuihua arrived, the Shangguan family was like scattered sand, the house always felt cold and icy. It was Ni Cuihua who made this home feel more real.

"Silly child, don’t cry. You’re going to be a bride. If you cry and swell up your eyes, it won’t do for putting on makeup tomorrow." Ni Cuihua wiped away Shangguan Xi’s tears.

"Mom, don’t cry either."

Ni Cuihua nodded, "Okay, Mom won’t cry."

After saying that, Ni Cuihua imparted somewords about respecting her in-laws to Shangguan Xi, then took out a passbook and handed it to Shangguan Xi.

Shangguan Xi was startled, "What are you doing?"

Ni Cuihua said with a smile, "It’s just a little something fron me. It’s not much money, but just accept it."

"Mom, I can’t take this!" Shangguan Xi refused.

Shangguan Dehui had already transferred all of the Shangguan family’s assets into her name. How could she take Ni Cuihua’s money at a time like this?

Ni Cuihua said, "Xiaoxi, if you truly think of me as your mother, then keep the passbook."

Shangguan Xi dared not refuse any longer.

Ni Cuihua continued, "No matter what, us women must stand tall and not let anyone look down on us. No need to go asking men for money. Keep this money for now, and if there’s an emergency in the future, you can use it then. Although it’s not a lot, it may come in handy in a pinch."

"Okay," Shangguan Xi nodded. Saying she wasn’t moved would be a lie.
