A Small Farmer Girl 's Story of Making a Fortune by Farming

87

Shen Yao forgot how he left the Si family's house, but when he returned home, he still felt a little dizzy.

　　Seeing her granddaughter's lost look, Mrs. Wu thought that her granddaughter was bullied in the Si family, so she turned around and went to find Old Man Shen to ask for an explanation from the Si family.

　　Shen Yao locked himself in the room and sat on the bed in a daze. It took him a long time to come back to his senses and think carefully about Si Xuanzhi's words.

　　What Si Xuanzhi meant by asking that question was that he liked her?

　　Thinking of this, Shen Yao fell on the bed and started giggling.

　　Hey, a handsome guy like Si Xuanzhi actually likes her. Wow, she is really charming.

　　After laughing, she suddenly stood up again, and then she remembered that now was not the time to discuss her own charm. If she understood correctly, what Si Xuanzhi asked just now was to propose to her!

　　"Should I agree or refuse?" Shen Yao lay back on the bed again, talking to himself.

　　She didn't know what to do for a moment.

　　Before today, she had never thought about getting married. First, she was only fifteen. If she were in the future, she would just be a high school student. It would be too early to talk about marriage. Second, in ancient times, the social circle was small and there was no free love. Who she would marry in the future depended entirely on fate and luck. Therefore, she never put her mind on it.

　　If it was someone else who asked this question today, she would definitely refuse without a second thought. But the person who asked her was Si Xuanzhi, and she didn't even want to refuse.

　　I didn't refuse, but I didn't know whether to agree or not.

　　In the dozen years before this, from treating him as a little kid in the beginning to treating him as a teenager older than herself later, she suddenly didn't know what kind of feelings she had for Si Xuanzhi.

　　If they were just friends, why did she feel palpitations when he asked her if she wanted to marry him? If they were just friends, she should have rejected his proposal, so why did she want to correct him when she saw that he had misunderstood her meaning?

　　Why did she flee in panic?

　　But I like it, and when did you start to like it?

　　She couldn't figure it out.

　　Looking back on the past, she didn't seem to have any heart-pounding feelings for him, except just now.

　　"Oh my God, someone please save me! What should I do?"

　　The more Shen Yao analyzed, the more upset he became, and he rolled over on the bed.

　　The room was poorly soundproofed. Mrs. Wu, who was carrying a shovel and going to settle accounts with the Si family, heard her granddaughter crying out to the heavens and pounded on the door anxiously to comfort her: "Yaoyao, did that old man say something nasty to hurt you? Don't take it personally. I'll go over and ask your grandfather for an explanation."

　　Shen Yao, who was crying out loud, was so frightened when she heard her grandmother's words that she quickly got up and hurriedly opened the door.

　　As soon as he opened the door, he was shocked to see his grandparents, his father, and his eldest uncle and third uncle standing outside. They were all holding hoes and carrying poles, and his grandmother was even carrying a shovel on her shoulder.
