Sweet Wife Is Busy Farming - Chapter 34

Make It Up to Her

Ding Yao finally opened her mouth. “Ahhh… AHHH…”

Song Xiuyan translated Ding Yao’s words for everyone to hear. “Ding Yao said that she didn’t have a hard time.”

Lin Hu immediately widened his eyes after hearing that. “You’re spouting nonsense! How could Ding Yao say that she didn’t have a hard time? She had a hard time. Her mother died young, and her father married a stepmother who abused her every day. After the death of the only grandfather who loved her dearly, the well-behaved child cried until her throat became hoarse. I’ve never seen a child who had a harder time than Ding Yao! The poor child was brought home by you at such a young age without betrothal gifts or even a ceremony, and started living with you…”

When Lin Hu said this, Wang Hongxia lowered her head in embarrassment. It turned out that Lin Hu knew all the things she had done. However, Wang Hongxia was a thick-skinned person. Lin Hu went to her house first and brought a lot of gifts. She would never offend such a generous relative, so she pretended not to hear Lin Hu’s words and continued to smile.

Song Xiuyan’s expression didn’t change. “Ding Yao did say that. I know some lip language, so I can understand what she said.”

Lin Hu raised his voice. “Bullsh*t! You’re deliberately distorting Ding Yao’s meaning! You don’t want me to take Ding Yao away. With your family’s situation, if Ding Yao doesn’t marry you, you won’t be able to find a wife for the rest of your life! So you don’t want Ding Yao to go with me, right?”

Song Xiuyan looked at Lin Hu coldly. “I didn’t distort Ding Yao’s meaning. Whether what I said is true or false, you can ask Ding Yao.” After saying that, he looked at Ding Yao and asked gently, “Ding Yao, if I didn’t distort your meaning just now, just nod your head. If I distorted your meaning, just shake your head.”

Ding Yao nodded, and Lin Hu widened his eyes in disbelief.

Seeing this, Wang Hongxia quickly tried to smooth things over. “Ding Yao’s uncle, Ding Yao is right. She didn’t have a hard time at home. Her sister and I did all the heavy work at home, and she did some light work at home. However, after she came to the Song family, I didn’t know. The Song family has a house full of children, and Song Xiuyan is a bookworm who only knows how to read. The family only relies on the agile Song Yang to hunt for money. I heard that the family can only eat porridge. If we continue to stay like this, Ding Yao will starve to death sooner or later. I wanted to let Ding Yao come back, but our family’s life isn’t easy either. There are small ones, crippled ones, and we’re poor. So, Ding Yao’s uncle, I support you bringing Ding Yao to the capital to live a good life.”

Wang Hongxia not only put in a good word for herself, but she also stood on Lin Hu’s side. With this, Lin Hu didn’t dwell on the things she had done in the past. Instead, he coaxed Ding Yao nicely, “Ding Yao, I’ve always kept you and your mother in the countryside because my business wasn’t doing well, and the family’s life wasn’t too good. In addition, your mother’s face was disfigured, so it wasn’t easy for her to get married. I owe your mother. Now that your mother is gone, it’s impossible for uncle to make it up to her. However, I will definitely make it up to you. Now that my business has expanded, I’ve also earned some money. When you go to the capital with me, you’ll be a rich young lady. You won’t have to do anything and you’ll have servants to serve you. I will also spend money to hire a doctor to treat your throat.”

After saying that, Lin Hu didn’t care whether Ding Yao agreed or not. He directly turned to Song Xiuyan. “I understand why you’re not willing to let Ding Yao go. After I take Ding Yao away, Ding Yao will become the eldest daughter of a wealthy family. She’ll be out of the league of a country bumpkin like you. With your conditions, it’s really not easy to find a wife in the village. How about this? After the divorce, I’ll give you some money as compensation.”

Song Xiuyan’s gaze became colder and colder, and his voice was also very cold. “If Ding Yao is willing to go with you, I won’t force her to stay, and I won’t take your money.”

When Lin Hu heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. “I know about your family’s situation. Don’t worry, I’ll give you ten thousand yuan as compensation. You don’t have to refuse.”

Song Xiuyan coldly replied, “There’s no need.”

Ding Yao had been coldly watching from the side the entire time. She could see that Lin Hu really wanted to take her to the capital, even to the extent of spending money. This was completely different from their previous style of doing things without paying any attention to their mother, Zhou Nanzhi. Did Lin Hu really feel that he owed his sister, Zhou Nanzhi, and wanted to make it up to her? Or did he have other motives?
