Chapter 520: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 520: Dust Settles (1)
Lately, Tie Tou had been frequently pressured by Mo Hong Shi to marry the brothel girl. Although he was a bit slow and simple-minded, often seen by others as just a step above a fool, he had one strong point: he could heed kind words from others, especially those spoken by his birth mother, Wu Shi.
Even though he didn't quite understand why his birth parents had left them siblings, in his heart, Wu Shi weighed heavier than anyone else. From childhood to adulthood, it was his mother who always protected him and never found fault in his simplicity.
When Mo Hong Shi tried to force him to marry, insisting he place his handprint on the marriage contract in front of the matchmaker, he staunchly refused. He silently resisted Mo Hong Shi's ill intentions, enduring her scolding without budging.
At midnight, after the old Mo family had fallen asleep, Tie Tou quietly left the house and came to knock on the Mo family's courtyard gate at the back mountain.
Knowing her son wasn't as clever as children from other families, and reasoning might not get through to him even if she talked herself hoarse, Wu Shi didn't say much to him. She only told him not to agree to this marriage, leaving everything else alone.
Tie Tou, upon hearing his mother's words, revealed a foolish grin, "If Ma says don't press, then I won't press today, nor in the future!"
Wu Shi couldn't help but laugh and cry, lightly patting his head, "Could it be that you won't marry in the future? Marrying means pressing your handprint on the marriage contract. However, if your grandparents ask you to press it, you absolutely must not, understand?"
Tie Tou understood that marrying meant bringing a girl home to live with and have children with. Hearing his mother teasing him, an image suddenly flashed in his mind, and his simple face turned red. He shook his head in confusion, driving away the image.
Seeing this, Wu Shi thought he was shy and couldn't stop laughing. Mo Yan also couldn't help but bend over laughing, embarrassing Tie Tou so much that his face turned red, wishing he could dig a hole and hide.
Using the excuse of caring for his sister's injury, he sneaked into the room to visit his eldest sister. Seeing his sister's spirits improving day by day, he relaxed and fled from the Mo family, fearing his mother would embarrass him again.
Wu Shi sighed and shook her head, her tone filled with worry, "Tie Tou's looks are just average, and his temperament is like this. I don't know if there will be a girl who likes him in the future!"
Although a mother would never dislike her own child, Wu Shi couldn't deny that her son's temperament was not very likable, and having such worries was only natural! She could try her best to set up a business for her son with her own hands, but she couldn't use money to find a daughter-in-law who knew the cold and warm, and really cared about him.
Mo Yan was clear about Wu Shi's concerns and reassured her, "What's wrong with Tie Tou? With such a temperament, he doesn't have many schemes. He will only treat others with single-hearted sincerity. For a girl who wants to live a steady life, it's probably hard to find such a husband. You don't need to worry too much."
She really felt that Tie Tou was a rare good man, and it would depend on which girl could recognize his worth! However, this girl not only needed to sincerely want to live her life with Tie Tou, but also needed to be a bit clever. After all, Aunt Wu couldn't watch them live together for the rest of her life.
This was something that reached Wu Shi's heart, and a loving smile appeared on her face, "Aunt can't guarantee anything else, but Aunt guarantees that Tie Tou is a good child. I just hope there's a girl who won't dislike him, and will live a steady life with him. In the future, Aunt can close her eyes and rest assured!"
Mo Yan nodded, "There will be such a girl!"
