588 Blessing or Bad Luck (Part 2)
Hearing Liu Sanniang’s words, Yingying’s expression turned ferocious. “You’re talking nonsense. I didn’t do anything wrong. What right do you have to say that about me?”
Yingying was a little excited. She looked at Liu Sanniang coldly, her expression turning sinister. Liu Sanniang had no right to say that about her. They were both the same kind of people, so why was her fortuitous encounter good while hers was bad?
Who was Liu Sanniang? Why should what she said be right?
Liu Sanniang grabbed Yingying’s hand and raised it. Seeing that the bulging veins were a little black, Yingying suddenly retracted her hand. Liu Sanniang said calmly, “What it devours is your life.”
!!
Yingying’s face turned pale and she fled the room in a panic.
She returned to the woodshed and looked at her arm. The blood vessels were already turning black. Did it mean that she would die?
Yingying shook her head. She didn’t want to die. There had to be a way. She hadn’t had a good life yet. How could she die like this?
She could make people lucky or unlucky at will. There must be a way to extend her life. Nothing could stump her. She could definitely think of a way.
In the afternoon, the matchmaker, Madam Yang, came to the house.
Madam Qiu quickly invited her into the main room and went to make tea.
Madam Yang smiled. “Old Madam Ye, there’s already some progress. I’ve been asking around these few days and finally found a family. There’s a young man in Qinglin Village who only has one brother who’s already engaged. He’s 17 years old and is good at work. His family has nearly 30 acres of land. He’s also diligent and hardworking.”
Such a man was not bad. He was good and fit the requirements of the Ye family.
Old Madam Ye immediately said, “Sure, let that family decide the engagement date.”
Madam Yang did not expect Old Madam Ye to agree so quickly.
“Alright, just wait for the good news. I’ll go and send them a message now.”
Madam Yang smiled and drank her tea. It was obvious that the Ye family was anxious to marry that girl off.
After Madam Yang left, the matter was almost settled.
Fen Lan and Yingying were in the woodshed. There was no longer any gentleness on Fen Lan’s face. “The Ye family really doesn’t know what’s good for them. They still want to chase us away.”
Fen Lan took out the jar and put it down. “Tomorrow is very important. We must make the Ye family regret this marriage arrangement.”
Yingying nodded obediently. “I’ll listen to you, Mother.”
Fen Lan smiled. “Fortunately, I was prepared.”
Tomorrow, the Ye family would beg them to stay.
At night, Fen Lan and her daughter ate in the woodshed. After dinner, Fen Lan quickly brought Yingying to clean up the kitchen.
After cleaning it up and returning to the woodshed to sleep, Fen Lan smiled. “Tomorrow, Old Madam Ye will beg me. There are big and fat chickens in the backyard. I’ll go and butcher two for you to nourish your body…”
Tears welled up in Yingying’s eyes.
No matter what happened, her mother always cared about her. She was not a bad person. She did not make a deal with a demon. The one who appeared that day was a god who had come to save her. She would cherish the chance. When she got the good life she wanted, she would thank that person.
The mother and daughter went to sleep with their expectations for the future.
Early in the morning, Madam Qiu brought Ye Niuniu’s new clothes to the woodshed. “Yingying, change into these clothes. They might be a little big, but they’re all new.”
Fen Lan took it gratefully. “Thank you, thank you.”
Madam Yang came early in the morning with an old woman and a young man.
The young man was called Wu Hui. He was brought over by his mother, Madam Wu. Seeing that the Ye family was such a good family, the two of them were secretly delighted.
Madam Yang smiled brightly and introduced the two of them to Old Madam Ye.
Wu Hui was a little embarrassed. He looked at Yingying with satisfaction.
Old Madam Ye asked Fen Lan. “What do you think?”
Fen Lan looked at Madam Wu and Wu Hui in a daze. She thought that the Ye family would find a lousy family for them, but now looking at Madam Wu and Wu Hui, she suddenly didn’t know what to do.
She suddenly thought that it might not be all that bad to go to the Wu family.
Old Madam Ye’s expression was serious. “If you have no objections, I’ll agree to this marriage.”
Seeing that Yingying did not respond, Fen Lan knew that she did not agree. She smiled ingratiatingly. “Old Madam, you can make the decision.”
“The purple light came from afar and shrouded the house. What a blessing.”
A voice was heard. Although it was a little soft, everyone could hear it clearly. Immediately after, there was a knock on the door outside the Ye family.
Old Madam Ye also heard it and asked Madam Qiu to go out and take a look.
In the courtyard, Ye Tiancheng had already opened the door. An old man in a Daoist robe held a wooden stick and walked in with a kind expression.
Madam Qiu looked puzzled. “Who are you looking for?”
The old Daoist priest smiled. “Good, good, what a lucky family!”
Madam Qiu also smiled and asked again in a gentle voice. “Old Daoist, are you passing by? Do you want to drink some water and have some food?”
The old Daoist priest nodded. “Yes, but I won’t eat for free. When I walked here today, I saw a dazzling purple light in the courtyard. In the light, I seemed to see a fairy. I’ve never seen such a scene, so I wanted to come and take a look. What kind of woman is so lucky?”
The old Daoist priest spoke seriously and looked pious. Madam Qiu did not dare to chase him out casually. She smiled and said, “Old Daoist priest, please wait a moment. Let me ask my mother.”
Old Madam Ye had already heard it. Cultivators could discern something ordinary people couldn’t.
Old Madam Ye thought that the lucky woman was Ye Niuniu, so when Madam Qiu arrived in the main room, she said, “Let the Daoist priest in and call Niuniu and Sanniang over.”
