The Favored Little Peasant Seizes the Heroine's Script!-Chapter 420 - 409: The Rat Race!_2
"Really?"
"The little brat is only five years old!"
Yuan Yindi was stunned.
Yuan Shouqian is only five, probably clueless about matters between men and women.
"Shoo, shoo, what do you know?"
Upon hearing Yuan Yindi’s words, Ruan Wan gave an eye of disdain, "Do you think our son is like you?"
Thinking back to her past interaction with Yuan Yindi, Ruan Wan was annoyed.
If she hadn’t insisted back then, it might have been destined for the two of them to have no fate together.
Seeing Ruan Wan’s look, Yuan Yindi’s expression was somewhat sheepish.
Regarding their past, Yuan Yindi always felt he owed Ruan Wan. He was just an ordinary farm boy at that time, and although he didn’t know Ruan Wan’s background then, could a girl who could be with Wei Wushang be from a regular family?
Back then, Yuan Yindi actually wanted to sever their ties.
If it hadn’t been for Yuan Bao running away from home and being brought back by Wei Wushang, Yuan Yindi and Ruan Wan might have really missed each other!
In this respect, it’s no exaggeration to say that Yuan Bao was their matchmaker.
"Jiaojiao, tell me, does Shouqian really have feelings for Cui Lai?"
After glaring at Yuan Yindi, Ruan Wan immediately pulled Yuan Bao and switched to gossip mode.
Yuan Bao shrugged, saying, "I think there’s a ninety-nine percent chance!"
"Of course, you should ask the person involved about this!"
"What about from Cui Lai’s side?"
"Well, she probably has a good impression too!"
Yuan Bao recalled Cui Lai’s attitude towards Yuan Shouqian, truly speechless; people then were really mature for their age!
"Ruan, Lai’er is three years older than Shouqian, you..."
"A woman three years older is like holding a brick of gold!"
Ruan Wan didn’t wait for Yuan Bao to finish, giving an immediate response.
Goodness gracious, really impressive!
Yuan Bao didn’t even know how to describe his state of mind.
"Fifth brother, later, you go invite Cui Yin for a drink and ask his opinion. If he has no objections, we’ll help Shouqian settle this marriage first!"
"As for daughters-in-law, when you see a suitable one, you should act first, or good girls will be taken away!"
Ruan Wan muttered to herself.
Hearing this, Yuan Bao instantly understood, thoroughly enlightened.
This whole matter, in the end, was all about competition!
No wonder engagements in ancient times started when they were so young; it was all due to competition!
Just as Ruan Wan said, if you encounter a good girl, and don’t hurry, she might just be snatched away by someone else. At that time, people were very committed to their promises.
Once a marriage was set, it basically wouldn’t change.
"Okay, I’ll wait a couple of days, find an opportunity to chat with Cui Yin!"
To Yuan Bao’s surprise, Yuan Yindi’s reaction was swift.
Alright, alright, I give up!
Yuan Bao immediately said goodbye to his little uncle and Ruan sister, as Cui Lai came to find her to play. She could leave for a while, she couldn’t let Yuan Shouqian accompany all the time.
Back in her own courtyard, Yuan Bao witnessed an eye-burning scene.
Uh, no, it shouldn’t be called eye-burning, rather it was a scene that made her feel stifled.
To be exact, Yuan Bao felt like she was stuffed full of dog food.
And the source of the dog food was none other than Cui Lai and Yuan Shouqian.
"I shouldn’t have come back!"
Watching Cui Lai and Yuan Shouqian, childhood friends innocently playing together, Yuan Bao was speechless and choked by emotions, it was too much bullying.
No way!
Why should I be the one eating dog food?
Yuan Bao immediately stepped forward and disrupted the two little fellows sitting opposite each other, feeding one another.
"Big sister!"
"Jiaojiao, you’re back!"
Seeing Yuan Bao return, Yuan Shouqian and Cui Lai spoke in unison.
Both looked as usual, completely devoid of any shyness of being caught in intimacy.
Alright, maybe I was overthinking.
These two little ones, really were as innocent as childhood sweethearts.
Yuan Bao didn’t reveal Ruan Wan and Yuan Yindi’s intention to arrange a marriage for the two. Yuan Shouqian might not understand, but at eight, Cui Lai surely would.
Don’t underestimate Cui Lai for being only eight!
At this time, girls really matured early.
Of course, this maturity wasn’t physical, but psychological.
Especially girls from big families, their existence was often for family alliances. So, when they could distinguish right from wrong, their family began giving related teachings.
