Yang Ming, upon returning ho, saw his wife quietly working on her needlework.
"How much Silver?"
"..." What Silver? Yang Ming was puzzled as he looked at Xiaoxiao.
"The dowry, of course! You think you can marry soone without spending Silver? You think everyone is like , getting married without spending a di!"
Xiaoxiao kept working, continuing to question. She had heard that she was sent there for free, no money spent! She truly was a loss!
"I don’t even like her, I won’t marry her! Besides, aren’t you supposed to be dying?"
Yang Ming looked at his wife, rembering how he hadn’t given a dowry when he had married her and had made her suffer.
"You didn’t like either, but you still married !"
"..."
Indeed, his wife was speaking the truth, and he had no words in response.
"Hey, do you really want dead?"
"I don’t."
"If you don’t marry her, she’ll end up married to that old man! Can you bear that?"
"Soone will marry her!"
"..." Eh? Who?
May as well love whoever, Xiaoxiao didn’t expect Little Qingi to be out of the picture so soon. Did that an the talk about not leaving didn’t count anymore?
The next morning, Xiaoxiao was stunned by the beautiful scene outside.
"Wow! It’s beautiful!" she exclaid as she hurried outside!
The world was a white expanse, the ground, trees, and houses all draped in thick snow, shimring under the sunlight, incredibly beautiful!
It had been so many years since she’d seen such thick, white snow. In the city, any snowfall never lasted; cars would turn it black and mucky, and it lted away quickly! She had last seen it like this back in the countryside during her school days, which was over a decade ago.
As she walked on the thick snow, listening to the crunching sound, she was overjoyed!
"Lads, co out, it’s snowing!"
Xiaoxiao gave a loud shout! Several youngsters quickly dressed and ca out!
"Lads, Third Auntie will take you to build snown and have a snowball fight. Hurry up, let’s gather the snow in this yard and make a big snowball!"
Xiaoxiao, followed by the three youngsters, started working diligently, completely the leader of the pack.
At that mont, when Yang Ming ca out, he saw his wife’s joyful smile; she seed to really like children.
Under Xiaoxiao’s lead, they soon completed a snowman! The youngsters were running circles around the snowman, unable to contain their joy!
Xiaoxiao even started to sing.
Snow, every piece of it
Builds the fate between you and
My love exists because of you
Your hand touches my aching heart
...
Yang Ming stayed there quietly, watching them play and listening to his wife’s singing, taking in each lyric that ca from her lips. He was distracted.
A snowball hit him suddenly, prompted by his wife’s voice:
"Little ones, make snowballs, let’s all gang up on Third Uncle. Aim for the face! See who can hit him the most!"
"Okay, okay!"
The youngsters, following orders, busied themselves making snowballs to throw at Third Uncle.
Upon hearing this, Yang Ming was stunned; what was he supposed to do, stand there and be hit? Should he run? Join in? He felt quite embarrassed!
Smack! Another snowball hit him!
"Hahahahaha!"
His wife’s laughter ca again; well, he’d just stand there and take the hits if it made his wife happy!
"Yang Ming, are you silly? Are you made of wood? Fight back! Snowball fighting is fun only when you fight back!"
Hearing his wife’s words, Yang Ming truly joined the fight, and laughs filled the small courtyard incessantly.
People inside the house, hearing the commotion, couldn’t help wanting to join, but alas, they were all too old and didn’t have the couple’s audacity!
However, they had never seen this side of Third Uncle before!
