Chapter 13: Cultivation
"I'm not blaming you..." He Axiu muttered in a low voice: "In those years, Tuniang was abandoned outside the door, and I'm afraid that others didn't want her either..."
"There's still the letter, but we don't dare show it to others, and besides, we can't read... Forget it..." Zhong Gensheng sighed: "Let's wait till she grows up a bit more, then we'll tell her, and let Tuni decide for herself..."
He Axiu responded with a low "en", muttering in agreement.
The sound faded away, and Shen Sisi, who was eavesdropping, was stunned for a moment, let out a soft sigh. Actually, she wasn't really eavesdropping, it's just that the house had poor sound insulation, and she happened to be someone who paid attention, so she naturally heard everything. In fact, He Ashu did treat her well, although the family conditions weren't great, they never skimped on food for her, at least when the three brothers ate plain food, she also ate plain food, and the portion wasn't smaller than theirs...
Is it just about marriage?! Shen Sisi looked at her own thin and small arms, a bit speechless. At such a young age, with limbs that could be broken with just one twist, her parents were already worrying about her getting married... This made her, an unmarried spinster in modern times who was still single at 30, feel utterly indignant!
It's just a matter of following local customs, but I'm afraid it's not that easy for her to escape. She narrowed her eyes and thought of the three brothers, then smiled slyly...
Immature, naive... Her mental age is still quite large, thinking of this point, although the corners of her mouth twitched a bit, but she didn't reject it.
He Axiu is absolutely right, instead of marrying into a poor family and suffering from idle talk, being a nanny slave breeding tool, and also having to endure the temper of her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, it's actually better to marry into her own family.
As she thought of this, Shen Sisi gazed up at the sky in silence, feeling a mix of emotions. As a modern-day otaku who had been reborn as a princess, she wouldn't indulge in futile dreams of marrying into a wealthy or aristocratic family...
Only because her status is really too low, going to be a maid in someone's house might not even accept her as she is too thin and can't do much work. Moreover, her personality, if she were to become a princess or something like that, she wouldn't be able to handle the intrigue and scheming, maybe she would just get eliminated directly...
Although she is poor now, she still values her life very much.
Three boys... raising one to be married is still pretty good, so she immediately ran out of the room and rushed to the outer room separated by a curtain, staring at the three brothers with a sly smile.
The three brothers were already prepared to sleep, but they were startled by her slanted gaze, and immediately became wide awake. The feeling was really creepy, like a frog being stared at by a snake. They thought gloomily, what weird idea did this sister have now?!
"Earth, earth girl?!" The second treasure looked at her nervously and said: "...... why aren't you sleeping yet?!"
"Hmm..." Shen Sisi stared at Er Bao, narrowing her eyes as she thought, and smiled: "......I couldn't sleep."
Can't sleep? Don't disturb us either!
"...... I knew it, you're still thinking about the fish soup, I'll return it to you tomorrow......"
"What did you say?!" Shen Sisi stepped forward and grabbed San Bao's ear, saying: "Am I such a petty person? Ha! It's just a bowl of fish soup. If you eat it, then eat it. Can't I really come back for more...?"
