I was stunned on the spot. What do you mean there is something wrong here? Could it be that she is a fool?
"If you don't mind, I'll just take him away, but your grandfather's favor will be repaid!"
Chen Yunqi said nonchalantly. He didn't seem to care at all whether the marriage could happen or not. He was mainly here to fulfill his promise.
Now I was in a bit of a dilemma. You had to say no, but the wife who came to my door was gone, and there was definitely no shop like this after passing this village.
It is not easy for us rural people to marry a wife. In addition, when I was born, the village was in a state of unrest. People in the village hid when they saw me, let alone marrying their own girls to me. In this case, I had to stay nearby. Finding a wife would probably be difficult.
But if I agree and directly marry a fool, then it will be a bit of a loss no matter how I look at it? After all, I don’t lack arms or legs, and I’m quite handsome.
"Uncle Chen, what's wrong with Chen Ling? She..."
I said I made some gestures with my hands, but I didn’t know exactly how to ask, which was really embarrassing.
The main reason is that I want to know the extent of her problem. If it's harmless, that's fine. After all, this girl is indeed beautiful and I quite like her.
"She just has difficulty communicating. Her IQ is about the same as that of a three-year-old child. Everything else is fine."
Chen Yunqi said while holding a cigarette.
I was speechless for a moment. Isn't this just mentally retarded? And with the IQ of a three-year-old, are you sure he can take care of himself? Then I’m afraid I have to be fed by someone to eat, right?
"If you don't want to, just take her. It's not like our Chen family can't afford to support her."
Chen Yunqi seemed to see the disgusted expression on my face, and suddenly became impatient.
"This...is...not either, I'm just asking casually."
I suddenly looked embarrassed.
"Then do you agree or not?"
Chen Yunqi frowned.
"Can you let me try to get along with her first?"
I scratched my forehead and asked, really afraid that Chen Yunqi would just slap him with a big mouth.
"Okay, just take her directly to your room!"
Unexpectedly, Chen Yunqi agreed quite simply.
I suddenly felt happy and was about to turn around and go back, but Chen Yunqi suddenly added, "You'd better not make any crooked ideas, otherwise I won't be able to spare you."
As he said that, he glared at me.
I was speechless. What were I thinking? Do I look like that?
"Uncle Chen, don't worry, I will never do anything outrageous."
After making a promise to Chen Yunqi, I ran back to the house in a hurry.
Chen Ling was still sitting on the edge of the kang, her feet dangling, and she was holding a few candies given by someone unknown in her hand.
I stood at the door and watched for a while, but I really didn't see any problem. She just didn't speak and was quite quiet.
But I like quiet girls, gentle and quiet, not so noisy.
"Chen Ling, why don't you come out and have a chat?"
I bit the bullet and called her in a low voice.
But the other party didn't respond at all. Let alone respond to me, she didn't even look at me at all.
"You're not still deaf, are you?"
My face turned black!
Just when I was about to give up, Chen Ling suddenly jumped off the kang and came out of the house directly!
"You...are you looking for me?"
The expression on Chen Ling's face was a little shy, and her two big eyes flickered at me. Not to mention how cute she was!
My Adam's apple rolled, but I couldn't say a word.
Because based on what she just said and the expression on her face, I can conclude that she is definitely not mentally retarded.
Since there is nothing wrong with his brain, why did Chen Yunqi lie to me?
I thought for a moment and realized what was going on. This bitch actually lied to me?
I think Chen Yunqi must not have wanted to marry his daughter to me, so he made up such a lie and asked me to refuse it myself!
Is this very possible? After all, as he just said, the Chen family is one of the largest families in Wolong Ridge. It is understandable for an ordinary family like ours to be unhappy if they are not from the right family.
So it is obvious that Chen Yunqi came here to fulfill his promise!
But if that was the case, didn't he discuss it with Chen Ling in advance? Wouldn't it be easier to fool her by asking her to pretend to be a fool or mentally retarded?
"What’s wrong with you?"
Chen Ling saw that my face was turning green and red, and couldn't help asking with concern.
"No...it's okay. Maybe you are too beautiful and I was dumbfounded!"
I said half-jokingly.
"Pfft."
Chen Ling was so amused by me that he laughed and cursed, "Idiot."
When I heard this, I was so happy. When a girl calls a boy a fool, it is a very provocative love talk. Although I am not a big-headed person, I still understand this point of romance, and I feel a warm current in my heart. Crossed.
So I decided right away that I wanted to agree to this marriage.
"Are you serious?"
When I told Chen Yunqi, he was a little unconvinced.
"Of course, can this be a joke?"
I didn't try to expose him and said seriously.
"Oh well!"
Chen Yunqi frowned and seemed reluctant, but seeing that I agreed, there was nothing he could do.
Still want to fool me? Want to eat shit.
I was so excited that I couldn't fall asleep for half the night. After all, I was going to marry such a beautiful daughter-in-law, and she was also the daughter of a wealthy family. Who wouldn't be excited?
"Knock knock knock."
Just when I was tossing and turning, unable to sleep, there was a knock on the door!
I was stunned for a moment, wondering who was knocking on my door in the middle of the night?
But I still put on a coat, jumped out of bed and opened the door.
But when the door opened, I was even more stunned. Chen Ling was actually standing outside the door?
She slept in the same room as my mother tonight, because the room at home was really limited and we could only spare one room, so my father slept in the same room with Chen Yun, and my mother slept in the same room with Chen Ling.
In the middle of the night, Chen Ling suddenly came and knocked on my door. I really couldn't react. Maybe I was too upright!
"Is...is something wrong?"
I asked her cautiously.
"It's okay."
Chen Ling pursed her lips and smiled, then got in from beside me.
Her face felt quite pale, and when she came in, she brought up a cold wind, which made me shiver.
I was stunned for two seconds before I reacted, and then I quickly looked outside. Seeing that no one noticed, I closed the door with a guilty conscience and locked it.
People are running into my house. No matter how stupid I am, I still understand what's going on.
I returned to the bed and sat on the edge.
Chen Ling had already crawled into bed, leaving only his head outside.
In the main room, there were villagers on vigil playing cards, which was very loud.
When someone dies here, the villagers keep vigil, and relatives do not spend the night in the mourning hall.
I tried my best to divert my attention to other things, but my heart was still itchy, and I kept peeking at Chen Ling on the bed unconsciously.
"Aren't you cold?"
Chen Ling asked me, covering half of her face with the quilt.
"Don't tell me, it's really cold."
I quickly shrank my neck, then climbed onto the bed and got into bed as a matter of course.
The bed was relatively small, and the two of us were lying on it, almost right next to each other, but the bed was still cold and not warm at all, especially the place next to Chen Ling's body, which was extremely cold.
Has this girl been freezing outside for a long time? Why are you so cold?
I couldn't help but be a little suspicious.
"Li Shiyi, do you like me?"
Chen Ling suddenly asked me.
"Like it?"
I answered the question without thinking.
"I knew it."
Chen Ling turned sideways and grabbed my arm with both hands, but her hands were also very cold. Through my clothes, I felt like two pieces of ice were stuck to my arms.
I also turned over, planning to face her or make the next move.
But at this moment, the lantern on the beam suddenly creaked again.
When I looked up, my scalp suddenly exploded. I saw a human face clearly appearing on top of the lantern. It was as if someone had put their face on the lantern skin, just enough to hold out a human face. Outline comes.
