Chapter 520: Chapter 520 Settling Dust (1)_1

Tie Tou, who had recently been pressured by Mo Hong’s family to marry a Kiln girl, was indeed a bit slow and simple, and to outsiders, seemed only slightly better than an idiot. However, he had one strength that many lacked: he could take in the good intentions of others, especially the words of his biological mother, Wu’s, whom he almost invariably obeyed.

Even though he couldn’t understand why his parents had divorced, and felt in his heart that his biological mother had abandoned him and his two siblings, Wu’s still weighed heavily in his heart. After all, it had been she who’d always protected him from childhood, never despising him for his slowness.

When Mo Hong’s family tried to match him with a bride, insisting that he leave his handprint on the marriage contract in front of the matchmaker, he resolutely refused to comply, silently resisting Mo Hong’s ill intentions and remaining unmoved by her scolding and beating.

In the dead of night, after everyone in Lao Mo’s House had fallen into a deep sleep, Tie Tou crept out of the house and knocked on the gate of Mo’s compound at the back of the mountain.

Wu’s knew that her son wasn’t as clever as other children, and even if she talked until she was blue in the face, he might not fully understand. So, she didn’t say much to him, only telling him not to agree to this marriage and not to worry about anything else.

Having heard his mother’s words, a simple smile appeared on Tie Tou’s face, "Mom said not to press, so Tie Tou didn’t press today, and won’t in the future either!"

Wu’s, half crying and half laughing, lightly patted his head, "Are you saying you’ll never get married? To marry, you have to press your handprint on the marriage contract. It’s just that if your grandparents tell you to press it, you must not do it, got it?"

Tie Tou knew that getting married meant bringing a girl home to live with and have children. After hearing his mother’s teasing words, an image of a lovely girl suddenly appeared in his mind, and his honest face turned red in an instant. He shook his head frantically, trying to drive the image from his thoughts.

Seeing his reaction, Wu’s assumed he was just shy and couldn’t stop laughing. Mo Yan also couldn’t help but double over in laughter, which made Tie Tou blush with embarrassment, wishing he could bury himself underground.

Using the excuse of being concerned about his sister’s injury, he slipped away to Dani’s room to see her. Noting that her spirits were improving day by day, he was reassured and fled from the Mo Family’s house as fast as possible, fearing his mother might tease him again.

Wu’s sighed and shook her head, her tone filled with concern, "Tie Tou’s looks are just average, and with such a disposition. I don’t know if any girl will ever look up to him!"

Although a mother wouldn’t disdain her own child, Wu’s couldn’t deny that her son’s personality was not very appealing, so having such worries was only natural! She could work her fingers to the bone to provide for her son, but she couldn’t buy him a wife who’d be truly caring and considerate of him with any amount of money.

Mo Yan understood Wu’s concerns and offered comfort, "What’s wrong with Brother Tie Tou’s disposition? Such simplicity means there are no hidden agendas. Anyone who wants to lead a down-to-earth life would be lucky to have such a husband. Don’t worry too much."

She genuinely believed that Tie Tou was a rare good man; it all depended on whether any girl could recognize his worth! However, the girl wouldn’t only need to be sincere about living with Tie Tou; she would also need to be somewhat astute. After all, two simple souls living together might not work out in the long run, and Aunt Wu couldn’t watch over them forever.

The words reached Wu’s heart, and a tender smile appeared on her face, "I can’t guarantee much, but I can vouch for Tie Tou being a good kid. I just hope there’ll be a girl who won’t disdain him, who’ll settle down with him sincerely. If that happens, I can close my eyes in peace!"

Mo Yan nodded, "There will be such a girl!"
