1829 Misinterpreting his meaning
....
Since Peng silang had said it out loud, his inner thoughts were much easier.
He sat by the fire and explained his thoughts to them, ” “I heard second uncle and second aunt say that third uncle Huo and the others have taken a fancy to a student and want Han Mei to marry him. However, how could a silly sister like a student! Besides, sister han has a bad temper and is a coward. Other than me, who can stand her? I’ve known her since we were young, and their family’s old master has a good relations.h.i.+p with our family’s old master. Han-Mei won’t be wronged if she’s with me. If it was someone else, it was really hard to say! So, I’m doing this for sister Han’s good.”
Gu Hui clenched her fists and then loosened them. If this was not her man’s younger brother, she would have punched him flat!
Lu Zheng was also speechless. With the way you speak, it would be a wonder if you could get a wife.
Gu Xin was much more direct and started to speak up for her good friend, ” “Peng silang, what do you mean? She was smart, beautiful, gentle, virtuous, skillful, and famous for her good temper! You’re speaking as if you’re the only man in the world, who wants you! Why don’t you take a look at yourself? you’re just an idiot. You’re not good at literature, and you’re not even ranked third in martial arts in your family. What are you so proud of? And you’re despising us for being simple-minded? let me tell you, I’m despising you on behalf of our simple-minded people!”
She did not even address him as ‘brother Peng Si’ anymore, but directly called him ‘Peng silang’. It could be seen that Gu Xin was really infuriated by his words.
Gu Hui nodded and said,”silang, give up!” You really won’t be able to get a wife like this! It’s not that I don’t want to help you!”
Lu Zheng sighed and shook his head at Peng silang.
Peng silang,”hehe.”
Gu Xin immediately stood up. big sis, brother Yuan Yuan, let’s not waste time with this person. Let’s go and sleep!
Then, the three of them got up and left.
“Oh, I’m oh oh oh”
Peng silang felt wronged. He was speaking the truth!
He was the only one who could treat Han Mei the best. He was willing to give all his good things to Han Mei. He couldn’t stand others bullying Han Mei, and only he could bully her.
How could that wretched girl Xinxin misinterpret his meaning?
That night, Peng silang directly slept by the fire. Because he didn’t sleep for long, he was listless again the next day.
Everyone in the team noticed something. The two people, who were usually noisy at least three to five times a day, had been quiet since yesterday afternoon. They didn’t even talk much.
As for Peng silang and Huo Yanyu, they would also look at each other.
When Peng silang looked at Huo Yanyu, he thought, Hmph, what’s the point of being a student with a family of nerds?
When Huo Yanyu looked at Peng silang, she thought, ” Hmph, you’re a rich man in Lin city with thousands of acres of fertile land. You don’t have any brothers. Peng silang, you’re going to be a live-in son-in-law and get bullied!
Then, the two of them glared at each other and turned their heads away.
Cai Xiaolian looked at the two children from time to time and found the sparks in their eyes. She was in a good mood.
Gu shouxin looked at his wife’s excited look and shook his head helplessly. He had no choice. G.o.d had given him a wife, and he liked her very much. He could only pamper her.
Two days pa.s.sed like this. One day, a gust of wind suddenly blew. The camel and the horse were frightened and refused to move forward no matter how they were pulled.
Fourth general Peng asked his men to check the water that was still in storage. After discussing with Gu shouxin on the map for a while, they decided to find a place to stop for a day. They would continue their journey after the sandstorm had pa.s.sed. The water storage was enough for two days, but there were still three days to go before they reached the next water source.
