Chapter 290 How is that girl and our Wang Jin?
At the Sun family, because of the incident of Sun Baomei falling into the water and being rescued, Aunt Sun thought a lot about it. Finally, after discussing with her family, she decided to pick a time to visit and thank the savior.
The Hang family lives in the village, so they can thank Song Ning anytime they want. But even if Constable Wang from the county government wants to thank them, they can't find where they are!
So, Aunt Sun went to Song Ning to find out the address of Constable Wang.
Coincidentally, on this day, Aunt Wang came to Shangtang Village again to teach Song Ning how to make wine, and this time she came alone.
When Aunt Sun came, Song Ning and Aunt Wang were in the utility room checking the fermentation of the wine they had brewed earlier. When they heard Aunt Sun calling, Song Ning came out on his own.
After hearing Auntie Sun's explanation of her purpose, she couldn't help but smile, "Auntie, you came at the right time."
After saying that, Song Ning asked Aunt Sun to sit in the yard for a while, and then she went to the utility room and called out Aunt Wang.
"Aunt, this is Auntie Wang, the mother of Constable Wang. Auntie Wang was also here the day Baomei fell into the water!"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Sun was so excited that she stepped forward and held Aunt Wang's hand tightly, thanking her non-stop, "Oh, elder sister, thank you so much for that day. If you hadn't arrived in time to save my daughter, we might have lost our youngest child."
Without Song Ning's introduction, after listening to Aunt Sun's story, Aunt Wang also knew her identity: she was the mother of the girl who fell into the water that day.
"Everyone has his or her own destiny. We happened to pass by there and saved her in time, which means that your daughter is blessed by heaven and is not destined to die."
"Yes, yes, my daughter is lucky." Aunt Sun nodded repeatedly, "We were thinking of visiting you to express our gratitude, but we didn't know where you lived! So I came to ask Shuheng's wife."
"Big sister, you don't have to be so polite. I think that any person with a conscience would lend a helping hand if they encountered such a thing. Saving a life is a good deed."
The two old ladies chatted like this, one sentence after another, and became like old sisters. Song Ning was accompanying them on the side, but she couldn't even get a word in.
Although Aunt Wang repeatedly stressed that she shouldn't take it to heart, knowing that she would be leaving at noon, Aunt Sun still went home and brought back some vegetables, eggs, dried goods from her own home, etc., filling a basket.
"Old sister, these are all produced by our family. They are not valuable. You must accept them. If you don't, I will feel guilty." Aunt Sun forcefully stuffed the basket of vegetables into Aunt Wang's hands, and without waiting for her to say no, she walked away as fast as the wind.
Aunt Wang was carrying a basket and said helplessly, "This elder sister is really, oh! She is too polite."
"Auntie, just accept it! Aunt Sun is a kind-hearted person and has a good reputation in the village." Song Ning persuaded.
"She ran away so fast, what else can I do but accept it?" Aunt Wang was forced to accept the gift, and then asked Song Ning about the Sun family. "That day at the riverside, I heard what you said, did you mean that the girl from the Sun family was rejected by the future?"
Song Ning didn't expect her to ask this, and after a moment's hesitation, she said, "Yes!"
The villagers have been talking about the Sun family's affairs. Even if she intends to conceal it, she can find out by just asking a little.
Therefore, Song Ning simply told Aunt Wang all the bad things that had happened to the Sun family before, and finally he also had his own guess about why Sun Baomei's engagement was broken off.
"The Sun family had a child with a rash that was misdiagnosed as smallpox by a quack doctor. Everyone in the village was worried and almost burned down the whole family."
After hearing this, Aunt Wang felt really frightened and in danger.
Song Ning continued, "Perhaps that family broke off the engagement so forcefully for this reason." After saying that, she couldn't help but sigh, "The villagers are making up stories. You know, the country folk, apart from caring about their own farm affairs, are only concerned about other people's troubles."
Aunt Wang was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "What's the temperament of the girl from the Sun family?"
"That girl has a very gentle personality." Song Ning said it casually, and then suddenly reacted and looked at Aunt Wang suspiciously, "Auntie, why are you asking this suddenly..."
Could it be what she thought? Could it be?
Soon, Aunt Wang's reaction confirmed what she thought.
Aunt Wang's eyes were bright and she lowered her voice and asked, "What do you think of that girl and our Wang Jin?"
Song Ning exclaimed, quickly covered her mouth, stared with her beautiful almond eyes, and was speechless for a while.
Aunt Wang didn't care about her reaction and said to herself, "Think about it! Although our Wang Jin jumped into the river to save the girl, he did touch her body after all. It's reasonable to let him be responsible for her."
"No, wait, Auntie, please listen to me first." Song Ning interrupted her hastily, fearing that she would go on to propose marriage tomorrow because she was afraid that she would talk more and more outrageous.
"I know you've been looking forward to finding a wife for your son, but we can't just randomly match couples, right?" Song Ning paused to take a sip of water, organized his words, and continued, "Look, living together is a matter for two people. It always takes two people to like each other and be willing, so that they can live together for a long time, right?"
"If Constable Wang has to take responsibility for a girl just because he saved her life and touched her body, and the girl wants to repay him and agrees to marry him, then this relationship is not pure."
"This, ah! I'm just saying it, you're really thoughtful." Aunt Wang sighed, "I'm also anxious, I don't have much time left to live, so I want to find him a wife while I can still worry about him."
Even though children's marriages are all arranged by their parents and matchmakers, she felt that what Song Ning said made a lot of sense. She didn't want her son to just marry a random woman just to make her feel at ease.
Seeing that Auntie Wang suddenly looked lonely, Song Ning felt a little sorry for her, so he gave her some advice, "How about you talk to Constable Wang first after you go back? But don't say anything to ask him to be responsible."
She thought that with Wang Jin's filial nature, as long as Aunt Wang asked him to be responsible for the girl, he would not object even if he was unwilling in his heart.
