Xiao Hanzheng understood what happened.

Shi Qingluo had already saved his younger brother and sister and had even reduced his fever. Waking him up earlier was equivalent to saving his mother.

To his entire family, it was indeed a life-saving grace that was hard to repay.

When he had just woken up, he had been worried that his mother and younger siblings would die just like they did in his previous life.

He had actually missed the timing when he woke up.

If it weren't for Shi Qingluo, his brother and sister would have already gone down the same path as in his previous life.

He couldn't help but feel extremely fortunate.

Because of this, he was more helpless than repelled and disgusted by the sudden appearance of such a wife.

Xiao Hanzheng looked at Mother Xiao and asked, "Mother, Shi Qingluo isn't from our village, right?

"Furthermore, why would the people from her family let her come to chongxi?"

Before he woke up, marrying into their family was very likely just jumping into a fire pit.

In his previous life, he had also heard the chief muttering that his mother, brother, and sister had all died, which was why he had forcefully struggled to wake himself up.

Otherwise, he would have to fulfill those people's wishes that Shi Qingluo become a widow when she married in.

A normal family would probably not agree.

Mother Xiao replied, "Qingluo is a girl from the Shi family of Shangxi village."

"She is also pitiful. When she was a few years old, her family sent her to work in a Taoist temple. Not long ago, she returned home after that old immortal passed away.

"A few days ago, she was almost sent by the Shi family to marry the young master of the Wu family.

"Not sure if the Shi family was suddenly guilty conscience and voluntarily went to the Wu family to break off the engagement.

"I don't know why the Shi family agreed to it either. They told us that if Qingluo wants to marry you, they can't object."

Then, she recounted the conversation between Shi Qingluo and her, as well as the situation they encountered when they went to the Shi family.

Xiao Hanzheng slowly recalled after listening to her.

In his previous life, when he was investigating the Wu family, he found out that before his sister was dragged to the Wu family for marriage, they had originally chosen the Shi family's daughter from Shangxi village.

However, that girl accidentally died on the day the Wu family came to pick her up.

According to some accurate sources, that girl was killed by her own mother when she was forcefully captured.

That was why the Wu family raised the betrothal gift money again. When his vicious eldest aunt and third aunt heard about it, they immediately sent her sister over and received 150 taels of silver.
