Chapter 56 No Evidence

At dinner that evening, Big Aunt mentioned Zao Hua's situation. Hearing Lu Jiaxin's advice, the girl went to lie down on her bed. She didn't eat anything for lunch or dinner and declared that she would rather die than marry an idiot.

With some pity, Big Aunt said, "I don't understand what Da Gen's wife was thinking. Is a son a treasure but a daughter not flesh from one's own body? How could she have the heart to let her daughter marry an idiot for the sake of her son?"

Second Sister-in-law Lu had also heard some talk in the village, "I heard he's not an idiot; he even works at the second machinery factory. It's just that his mind is a bit slow, and he's a beat behind others in his work."

But Big Aunt didn't believe such nonsense, "If he's only a beat slower in reaction and even works at the second machinery factory, why should he worry about finding a wife?"
