Chapter 384 Picking up a Beggar as a Wife

Shanzi's mother's eyes lit up, "Girl, I have food at home."

She squatted down, "I'll tell you something. If you agree, you'll have food every day in the future."

The beggar nodded and looked at Shanzi's mother with hope.

Shanzi's mother smiled, "Girl, girls have to find a husband when they grow up. I have a son at home. He is seventeen years old this year. He is tall and good-looking. We also came here to escape famine and will go back in the future."

"I have a house and land at home, and a mule cart. If you don't mind, will you be my son's wife?"

The beggar was stunned for a while, and it took a long time for him to say from his throat, "Okay."

Shanzi's mother was overjoyed, "Let's go home with me."

The beggar propped himself up. Shanzi's mother originally planned to help her, but the sour smell on her body was really suffocating and she couldn't do it.

The beggar followed Shanzi's mother weakly to a shabby courtyard, opened the door, and there was a wooden cart parked inside.

A mule was tied in a shabby shed next to it.

Shanzi was feeding the mule with fodder. When he heard the noise, he turned around and frowned, "Mom, why did you bring a beggar home?"

Shanzi's mother smiled, "Don't worry about it."

She went to the kitchen and took a mixed flour bun and handed it to the beggar. The beggar was so hungry that he took the bun and ate it.

Shanzi's mother poured her a bowl of water, "Eat slowly, there's more."

She turned around and called Shanzi, "Bring some firewood and boil a few pots of water. I need it."

After Shanzi fed the mule, he took the firewood into the kitchen to boil water.

The beggar squatted in the yard and ate two mixed flour buns and drank a bowl of water.

Shanzi's mother put a bathtub in the kitchen and called Shanzi to pour the boiled water into it.

After pouring the water, adding cold water, and boiling soap water, Shanzi's mother sent Shanzi away and waved to the beggar to come in, "Girl, take a bath first, I'll find you some clothes to wear."

Shanzi's mother closed the kitchen door, went back to the house and searched for a while, and found a gray coarse cloth skirt that was a little too small and a bellyband she wore when she was young.

With the clothes, Shanzi's mother shouted at the kitchen door, "Girl, the clothes are here, I'm coming in."

Then she pushed open the kitchen door.

The beggar was sitting in the bathtub, naked. It was indeed a girl, with everything she should have, but she was a little thinner.

Shanzi's mother put the clothes away and smiled, "Come, let me help you wash."

After washing three basins of water, the water that was poured out was not black.

Shanzi's mother looked at the girl with a smile. After washing her, she was pretty. Shanzi's mother thought she was not worse than Xing'er, but her skin was slightly darker than Xing'er's.

She took a comb to comb the girl's hair and asked, "Girl, what's your name?"

The girl said shyly, "My name is Dujuan."

"Oh, that's a nice name." Shanzi's mother smiled and said, "Dujuan, your family is fleeing from famine, and there are no relatives here. We won't hold a wedding banquet for this marriage."

"Tomorrow I will buy you two sets of clothes. After you and Shanzi worship heaven and earth, you can live a down-to-earth life with Shanzi, okay?"

Dujuan had just seen Shanzi. He was indeed tall and handsome. Seeing that her family had a mule cart, she was already willing in her heart, so she blushed and nodded.

After combing Du Juan's hair and putting her to sleep in her room, Shanzi's mother got up and went out to ask if anyone in the neighborhood had a house to rent.

After asking around, Shanzi's mother went to her son's room and said, "Shanzi, I have something to discuss with you."
