"Erya, look, your Mr. Chen is here."

At the edge of the sweet water well, a young woman who opened her clothes and started feeding her child ignored the man coming over and teased a girl who also came to fetch water.

The women around started making noises, and the girl named Erya brushed the floor and blushed so much that she almost bled.

She was in her mid-twenties, when she began to have girlish thoughts, matchmakers began to come to her door one after another, and her parents began to worry about asking which family had good young men.

Erya would lie alone in bed every night after finishing her sex work, and would start to think wildly, feeling both worries and expectations.

Often after falling asleep, she would see Chen Yang smiling and nodding at her tenderly in her dreams.

Just like before your eyes.

Erya had also admired Chen Yang, but whenever she met Chen Yang by chance in Shuijingfang, she would be shy at first and wonder if there was something else in Chen Yang's gentle smile. When would Mr. Chen ask someone to come to propose marriage?

?

But after meeting her a few times, Erya discovered that Chen Yang didn't treat her any differently. In the eyes of Mr. Chen, there was no difference between a girl like her and the woman who was teasing her.

Treat everyone equally.

It turns out that I have never been treated differently by anyone.

Erya shook her head sadly and said, "Mr. Chen doesn't like a wild girl like me."

"Besides..."

"What are you talking about?" The women and girls waiting to fetch water all started to gossip and came over to inquire.

Erya was holding back so hard that he said in a daze: "My parents said that your husband is not from Longmen County, and he doesn't have a decent job. He eats and drinks every day, and is sitting on nothing in the morning and evening.

He is not a person who can live a good life.

They met the son of Capt. Qin from the next door city and said that if Capt. Qin retired, his son would be able to take over. If he inherited his father's legacy, he could become a captivity and live a prosperous life.

That’s a good match.”

The women and girls who came over to listen to the gossip all became somewhat silent.

Even if they were greedy for Chen Yang's charm, and even spent the time fetching water on Chen Yang when he went out for a walk, they couldn't say that what Erya's parents said was unreasonable.

Only the young woman who made the joke at first scoffed:

"Erya, you don't understand. I am someone who has been here before and I will teach you to be good."

"What kind of good people and bad people should not live together?"

"Good things happen, bad things happen too. We in Longmen County are blessed by the Dragon King. As long as we can endure hardships, why are we afraid of not having enough to eat?"

"No one can be considered safe to marry, so why not marry someone good-looking?"

"Mr. Chen is so handsome."

The young woman licked her lips, then looked down at her two-month-old son who was eating happily, and said angrily: "Erya, my sister now wants to put this boy back and marry her again, just marry her."

To Mr. Chen.

With this face and smile, my sister is willing to work hard every day to support him. As long as he is willing to smile at me, I am willing to die."

After the young woman finished speaking, all the women around her, whether married or not, fell silent.

Some of them agreed with the previous words and some disagreed, but they all agreed that Chen Yang was good-looking.

If Chen Yang was willing to sleep with them every day, smile at them before going to bed, and when he gets up, it would be sweet and bitter at the same time.

The young woman asked Erya: "Erya, what do you think?"

Erya shook his head and murmured: "I don't know either..."

After she finished speaking, she felt sad and tears fell down.

In fact, Erya knew very well that her parents had already made an appointment with Capt. Qin through a matchmaker.

She will get married soon.

That headman Xiao Qin looks neat, tall and majestic, which is actually quite good.
