Dressed as a peasant girl, full of happiness

Chapter 403 Dilemma

"No, sister. I don't want to think about what's happening between me and Brother Xueyi right now." Wei Yumiao answered firmly.

Wei Yuchen sighed heavily, her heart filled with emotion and worry. She looked into the distance, her thoughts gradually drifting back to the past.

Wang Xueyi and Wei Yumiao, one is her husband's best friend, the other is her beloved sister. The relationship between them is so complicated, where will the future go? She can't help but feel confused.

Looking back, their meeting seemed destined.

That time, Wei Yumiao went up the mountain alone to look for herbs. As it was late, when she set out on her way back, night had already fallen quietly.

Unfortunately, she encountered a wild wolf on the way. Facing the ferocious beast, Wei Yumiao was terrified and tried to escape, but accidentally sprained her foot. Seeing the wild wolf approaching, her life was in danger. In desperation, she could only shout for help.

At this critical moment, Wang Xueyi and others just returned from hunting in the mountains.

Hearing Wei Yumiao's cry, Wang Xueyi raised his shotgun without hesitation and shot a bullet accurately, successfully killing the wild wolf and saving Wei Yumiao's life.

In order to express her gratitude to her lifesaver, Wei Yumiao presented Wang Xueyi with carefully prepared gifts twice. It was these actions that made Wang Xueyi fall in love with Wei Yumiao. However, although Wei Yumiao had a little affection for Wang Xueyi in her heart, she became hesitant when she thought about the future.

How will this relationship develop? Can they overcome all difficulties and be together? Countless questions came to Wei Yuchen's mind, making him worried.

The gears of fate have begun to turn, and Wei Yuchen can only pray silently, hoping that they can find their own path to happiness.

No matter what the future holds, she hopes that her sister and Wang Xueyi can be safe and happy.

"Sister, you know that I can't join the army. I have to stay at home and learn medical skills from my father! There are a lot of things waiting for me to deal with at home. I can't just sit here and eat and drink for free."

Wei Yumiao said seriously.

After hearing this, Wei Yuchen smiled and said jokingly: "So what? Look, your sister also went through this! And she felt quite happy."

Wei Yumiao rolled her eyes and replied unhappily:

"Can ordinary people compare with you? You call that sitting back and waiting for food and drink? You can find work wherever you go, okay? But I'm different. Apart from learning some medical skills from my father, I don't have any other skills. Once I leave the small place of Weijia Village, I will be useless and have no place to use my skills!"

"That's not true. In fact, you can also show your skills in our military hospital."

Wei Yuchen is very optimistic about the pair of Wang Xueyi and Wei Yumiao from the bottom of his heart.

"Sister, let's talk about the future later. Right now I just want to study hard with Dad. I've also told Brother Xueyi that if he finds the right person, he can settle down. I don't think I'm qualified to be a military wife."

"Well, you should think about this matter carefully. You don't have to worry about your parents." This was all Wei Yuchen could say.

She knew that her stepmother had suffered a lot because of her ex-husband's military status, which left a shadow on Yu Miao. She also knew that Wei Yu Miao was a serious person and kept everything in her heart. If she didn't want to say it, no one could get anything out of her.

"Okay, sister, I'll remember it." Wei Yuchen said.

Two days later, the old lady really brought a lady in her fifties to find Wei Yuchen.

"Xiao Wei, this is the Aunt Wan I told you about." The old aunt introduced.

Wei Yuchen looked up and saw an old lady with gray hair, thin figure but neatly dressed.

Aunt Wan seemed a little shy. When she saw Wei Yuchen looking at her, she clasped her hands together and said softly, "Hello, Comrade Wei!" Then she lowered her head and said no more.

The old aunt said that Aunt Wan's fate was very rough. She was sent to another family to be a child bride when she was young. When she grew up, she was divorced by her husband's family because she was unable to bear children. She had no choice but to work as a servant in a wealthy family.

"She is an expert in the kitchen. She can handle all kinds of tasks. She is clever and deft, and can cook anything well. She is also loyal and reliable. She is a rare helper. But... but..."

The old lady suddenly stopped talking here, as if she found it difficult to continue.

"Just what?" Wei Yuchen couldn't help but feel very curious and asked.

"Sister, don't be embarrassed, I'll tell you myself."

Aunt Wan saw that the old lady was in trouble, so she quickly spoke up. After that, she turned to Wei Yuchen and said:

“I don’t know who said that I was destined to be alone, and that if I stayed with children for too long, it would affect their luck!

Whenever a child I took care of fell ill, the parents would suspect that I was the cause of the bad luck and then ruthlessly fire me, sometimes even deducting my salary!

Seeing that Aunt Wan no longer concealed the truth, the old aunt also continued:

"It's the same this time. My elder sister originally planned to come back tomorrow, after all, tomorrow is the one-year anniversary, but who would have thought that today, the child of that family suddenly fell ill.

As you can imagine, she was ruthlessly kicked out by her master. Just like that, all the wages she had worked hard for a year were gone..."

"Aren't wages settled monthly?" Wei Yuchen asked puzzledly.

"The owner said that she was alone and had no money to spend, so it would be more convenient to settle the bill once a year. If she really needed it urgently, she could also pay it in advance.

I am a shy old sister, so I didn’t dare to ask for help. Alas, my whole year’s salary is gone just like that!”

The old lady sighed repeatedly.

Wei Yuchen knew very well that this matter was most likely planned by that family in advance, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence?

"Has that child never been sick?" Wei Yuchen couldn't help but continue asking.

"Of course I did! How can a person who eats all kinds of grains never get sick? When the child was eight or nine months old, he had smallpox. It was my elder sister who took care of him and made him recover."

This time it was still the old aunt who answered.

"In that case, why don't you report that family?" Wei Yuchen's tone became more serious.

"My elder sister said that she really didn't want to get herself into a lot of trouble just for that little bit of money." The aunt said with a sigh.

At this point, Wei Yuchen finally understood everything.

The reason why the old lady was so patient was simply because she didn't have enough confidence. She had no children, no relatives, and lived alone, so she was naturally easy to be bullied.

"How about this, Aunt Wan, you try working here for a month first. If everything goes well, then you can stay." Wei Yuchen made a decision.

After Wei Yumiao left, Aunt Wan came. Aunt Wan was good at taking care of the elderly, had rich experience, and could often find problems through subtle observations.

With Aunt Wan's help, Wei Yuchen felt more relaxed than ever before. Even Liu Chunmei envied her and often said that it would be great if she could find an old lady like her.

Another month passed peacefully.

That evening, as night fell, Geng Changshuo, lying on the soft big bed, held Wei Yuchen's hand, lay on his side on the bed, looked at Wei Yuchen, then looked at the crib not far away, and pondered for a long time.
