"Don't ask, I'm not doing well now."

Instead, Cotton sat down at the table, and said in a nonchalant tone: "If they are still in the world, and they are poor, maybe they will have to give me relief." Furthermore, what my stepfather said may not be true. ”

Maybe it's just to drag him and ask him to take care of his daughter.

It wasn't that he hadn't thought about it before, but he was alone, and he didn't have much money to buy a coffin when he died—so he didn't care much about it, just to look down and if it was true.

But since Ah Li left with red eyes that day, he slowly changed his mind.

Well, I don't really want to know about it anyway.

Since she wanted to eat sugar gourds, she liked the rouge of the Fleur Pavilion, so she might as well save the silver and do something to make her happy.

It's just that sugar gourds can be bought often, but rouge money has to be saved slowly.

That's what he had in mind.

"How? The stakes are high, and we have to figure it out. Ah Li also sat down, looked at him and said, "If you don't want to recognize them, don't find out when the time comes." If it's fake, then it's better to dig up your father's grave, destroy his spiritual position, and teach his daughter a hard lesson! ”

As he spoke, he suddenly frowned and showed a thoughtful expression.

That's right, a hard lesson......

Cotton immediately understood her thoughts, and stopped her: "No, if you force her, she may not tell the truth." Besides, I don't want to cause trouble for the girl. ”

He is now a member of the Zhang family, so he naturally can't just take care of his own mind.

Ah Li was deflated.

"You're ...... right"

In the end, in her heart, the girl is the first.

"Then why don't you find her an in-law first?" When Ah Li said this, she suddenly had some doubts: "Speaking of which, she should also be a double ten age, why hasn't she been married yet?" Could it be that the character is too poor and no one comes to the door to propose? ”

In the past, she only thought that the other party relied on the dog man in front of her, but now, it is obvious that she wants to go wrong.

"It's not that no one came to the door to propose, it's just that there is no one she can look up to."

Ali frowned.

"What kind of person does she want to marry?"

"Those who are handsome and have a lot of money are best the children of official eunuchs." Cotton is roughly summed up.

“……”

Ah Li's clenched fists were trembling, and she gritted her teeth and said, "I can't hide it, I really wanted to beat her for a long time." ”

Cotton paused and said, "Who wouldn't." ”

Whenever he couldn't bear it anymore, what prompted him to calm down was not the non-existent brother and sister affection, nor the moral bottom line in his heart, but the law of Dajing.

"Then I'm afraid she won't be able to marry until the next life!" Ah Li slammed the table.

"Therefore, it is better not to ask." Cotton's tone was free and easy: "It really doesn't matter that much. ”

Life is too short, so why bother with things that aren't worth it.

Ah Li was not reconciled.

But she didn't say anything more, only suppressed her thoughts in her heart.

"Then why don't you admit that this rouge was given to me?" She asked about it instead.

Cotton was silent for a moment.

Before, he wanted to buy it for her, but he just followed his heart's desire to buy it for her, and he didn't think too much about it.

It was not until that day that the girl told him about her life's work that he understood his heart.

He didn't want her to marry someone else—an idea that was clearly not meant to be between teachers, or even friends.

But he can't.

also soon realized that she treated him differently.

Immediately, he knew that this rouge would not be able to be sent, and if it was delivered to her, it would definitely aggravate her thoughts—since she couldn't marry, it was better not to be slimy, and let her have illusions.

After all, that's not what people do.

But he soon found out...... The deposit of the two taels of silver will not be refunded!

In order not to lose two taels of silver in vain, he had to pay another five taels and buy the things back.

After buying it back, a voice suddenly tortured him in the depths of his soul - in this way, it seems that he has lost more?

After all, he is a big man, so it is impossible to keep it for himself!

"Why, you don't dare admit it?" Ah Li glanced at his expression, suppressed the joy and nervousness in his heart, and said, "Don't think I can't see it-"

She said, well, a good girl like her, but as long as she is not blind, it is impossible to resist this fatal attraction.

Hmph, no wonder I haven't been looking for a daughter-in-law......

Thinking of this, Ah Li's body straightened up a little, while secretly looking at Cotton's expression.

With all that in her words, he should have known what to say next, right?

Cotton lowered her eyes.

"I'm not worthy of you."

His voice was low, but it was also clearly heard in Ah Li's ears.

She was stunned for a moment, then her cheeks were slightly red, and she raised her chin and said, "It's good if you know it's not worthy—then later...... Good life waits for me, brings me tea and water, pinching my feet and beating my back, the dirty work is all yours! In this way, you may be able to offset your unworthiness a little. ”

Cotton hung his head lower.

Although he was uninhibited by nature, he never thought of living the day when she couldn't hold his head up, but now that he thinks about it, he feels inexplicable...... It's quite desirable.

But he didn't have the qualifications.

Seeing that he hung his head and didn't speak, Ah Li thought that he had said something serious, and said in a busy and casual tone: "Actually, you are not bad...... You are good at martial arts, one can fight a hundred. There are so many skills that she is proficient in, and she does her errands well, and the girl often praises them. And although you don't like to talk, I know that you have a very good heart...... Don't think I don't know, you often secretly go to Sweetwater Alley to feed those wild cats and dogs. ”

The girl said, her eyes twinkled.

It was also from then on that she felt that this was a good boy to be liked.

"Besides, you're ...... It's okay, when you go out with the girl, there are many little ladies who are secretly staring at you. ”

was originally a boasting person, but when it came to this, Ah Li was a little angry in her heart.

Every time she met such a little lady, she glared back fiercely, but her eyes were tired.

Before today, she always thought that this dog man was good except for blindness, but now it is good—these eyes are not only not blind, but also very bright.

Hey, that's just ...... It looks like she likes!

Not giving her Ah Li as a husband is simply against the will of heaven.

"I really don't deserve you."

Cotton always kept her head down, or this sentence.

Ah Li was a little angry.

I thought he was polite, but when she said this, what did he mean by this?

"Then tell me, where are you not worthy of me?"

"Do you really want to listen?" Cotton raised her head slightly.

"Nonsense!" Ah Li held back her anger.

If this dog man doesn't make it clear today, he won't want to leave!

Uh, no, it seems like it was his room in the first place—

Then skin his dog!

Cotton looked at her.
