Queen of flowers - Chapter 25

If she had a son and made him a misogynist, she would wish to choke him; if she didn’t raise a misogynist, he would become a deserted person in the society, would feel lonely, depressed, and maybe he would hate her for his upbringing. She was strong enough to withstand criticism, she even knew how to disguise herself so as not to get criticized too much, but she couldn’t watch her child become incompatible with the society, and being despised, attacked, and excluded by people around her.
Therefore, even if she had the cheat system, as long as she had enough points, she could have children without risk … but she didn’t want to have a child at all!

Since she didn’t want to have children, she needed to choose her husband’s family carefully lest they make her a maid or a libido tool for a few years, and then throw her out of the house.

The matchmaker Zhou Shirang also known as Auntie Gu, was her mother’s old acquaintance.

According to her, Auntie Gu’s character was credible, and she would never deceive both parties in order to get money from a few matchmakers.

When she found Aunt Gu, Yong Ruo hired a carriage to take her to her house as she was ordered by her mother.

After seeing Zhou’s appearance, Aunt Gu was shocked and said with pity, “How did you become like this?”

Yong Ruo moved a clean stool and let Aunt Gu sit down in front of the bed. She also sent Yong Qiao and took Yong Miao to the kitchen to cook brown sugar eggs for Auntie Gu. She herself stood quietly as an audience.

Zhou smiled bitterly, “The doctor said that I ran out of water and would go out of light. There are not many days left. I have to arrange the funeral process! I am not afraid of death. I will be relieved to die, so I would no longer have to suffer this torment. I can still reunite with my dead husband and my eldest son! I just … worry about leaving these three,” then she wept.

Aunt Gu was more sympathetic,she moved the sitting stool to the bed and grabbed Zhou’s skinny hand, “Then you asked me to come …”

Zhou controlled her emotions, smiled reluctantly, and told her plan, “If she gets married, they will have their in-laws’ family to rely on or else my weak children would be bullied! “

She clenched Gu’s hand tightly, “Good sister, please look at the past, please help me this time!”

“Sure!” Gu Auntie said without hesitation, “I just don’t know what kind of person you want me to find.”

Zhou commanded Yong Ruo, “Go to the kitchen and watch your brother boil water, don’t let him burn the house!” She wanted to send Yong Ruo out.

How would Yong Ruo let that happen! She said, “Qiao boils water better than me. How can he burn the house? Mother and Gu Auntie can talk, how can there be no one around? I will serve the elders here!”

Zhou smiled and gasped slightly, “We are going to talk about your marriage. You are here, so I was afraid you would panic!”

“Mother, don’t worry! I’m thick-skinned, and I’m not afraid of being embarrassed!” She refused to leave.

Aunt Gu laughed and glanced at the calm Yong Ruo, ” The calm girl has a brain!… She is your daughter, she should be able to write, right? “

Zhou Shi smiled sincerely, “I taught her a little bit. This girl is also smart. She learned it.”

“That’s good! Even if her family is poor, she can climb a little bit! How old is she this year?”

“She was born in the early tenth of August, and is fourteen this year.”

“Oh? The year of the rooster?” Aunt Gu raised her eyebrows. “Can my sister tell me about the birth of Ruo?”

“She was born in the year of the dragon, rooster month, rooster day, and dragon time. What’s wrong?”

While listening to her, Aunt Gu pointed her fingers and calculated, “The year of the dragon, the month of the rooster, the day of the rooster, the time of the dragon … the five elements are complete … water life, and Yang Gongzi is desperate for water …”

She patted her thigh in excitement, “It’s perfect!” she said to Zhou, who was puzzled, “I have an excellent marriage here.”

Zhou’s eyes lighted up, she slightly lifted her upper body and asked nervously and expectantly, “What marriage?”
