Chapter 226: Chapter 226 Fang Meiyun Asks Yun Xiaoxiao for Advice

Fang Meiyun had lunch and then went to see Yun Xiaoxiao.

"Sister-in-law, Sister-in-law..."

Yun Xiaoxiao was reading in her room. Ever since Mother Yun had arrived, she barely had any chance to read; she had to entertain the guest and even escort her to the county town to catch a bus, and attend to the prevention of abduction, among other things.

"Come in!"

Although she did not know why the guest had come.

"Sister-in-law, I came to you because I have something important."

Something important?

Coming all the way from your house, it certainly must be something important.

"Come and sit down first."

After Fang Meiyun sat down, she furrowed her brows slightly, "Sister-in-law, my little uncle suddenly visited today to say that he had found a good match for me."

Yun Xiaoxiao was startled, What?

A good match?

If she remembered correctly, she was only seventeen this year, right?

Was she to be married already?

"Didn’t you split the family?" How could he still be managing her marriage after their households were separated?

Yun Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of something; could it be that they wanted to marry Fang Meiyun off and take the bride price for themselves?

Otherwise, why would they bother about their niece’s marriage without any reason?

"Yes, we did split, but my cousin is not young anymore. My little uncle and little aunt want to get a wife for him. They don’t have enough money at home, so they are eyeing mine. There’s no way this is happening," she said firmly.

Yun Xiaoxiao was even more astonished, "Nowadays, the bride price in the village isn’t that high. Your little uncle and aunt couldn’t have failed to save up the bride price over these years, could they?"

Villagers are generally frugal, and parents would typically prepare the bride price for their sons.

Moreover, with end-of-year earnings distributions, as long as one worked diligently, the money for a bride price and wedding could be earned in two or three years of hard work.

"My little uncle and aunt are lazy. If it hadn’t been for the team leader’s confirmation during the family separation, my little uncle would not have been willing to give me the food provisions," Fang Meiyun said with disdain, no good words coming about her uncle’s family.

Being lazy themselves, they wanted to find a wife for their son and took the opportunity when the nephew was not around to set their sights on their niece.

"Can your uncle manage your little uncle?"

Fang Meiyun shook her head, "He can’t."

If he can’t?

Then might Fang Meiyun be in some danger?

Had she changed the course of the story?

If not abducted, could it be that her little uncle and aunt were conspiring with traffickers to sell her off?

It was a very real possibility.

People, driven to desperation, could indeed do anything.

But how to caution Fang Meiyun?

"Keep some beans in your pocket; these can help leave clues behind if you are drugged and lose consciousness."

Yun Xiaoxiao shifted the topic, coming up with that idea, "Or, why don’t you stay here for a few days until your brother returns, then you can go back?"

Fang Meiyun shook her head, "That would be too much trouble for you, sister-in-law."

That won’t do?

What then?

"Cry and go to the team leader and say your little uncle wants to sell you. If anything happens to you, they would be the prime suspects. If they want to continue living in the team, they wouldn’t really dare to go through with sending you off," she suggested.

That was a good plan.

She had already fallen out with her little uncle’s family and wasn’t afraid at all.

"I’ll go to the team leader right now...."

Yun Xiaoxiao taught her a few more tactics, "Always insist you are still young. You can acknowledge that your uncles supported you when you were a child, but say you will repay them when you are financially able. Basically, signal to them that you’re grateful and will repay, making others see you as someone loyal and righteous, encouraging people around to speak on your behalf."

Fang Meiyun was momentarily overwhelmed, this was completely different from what she had learned before.

"Be good, listen to me. We girls need to show some vulnerability while also portraying ourselves as loyal and righteous."
