"Are you crazy? Do you want to save this girl?
This girl's background is unknown, and she doesn't look like a good citizen. Are we getting into trouble?"
"Keep your voice down; what do you know?
This girl is not an ordinary person. She'll repay us for saving her."
It would be better if she were an ordinary person. Don't we owe the Wang Family a daughter-in-law? She will be the one."
Mrs. Xu opened her mouth as if she didn't understand what her husband was saying.
Zhou Gen glared at her. This prodigal woman was useless at the critical moment.
Mrs. Xu and Zhou Gen carried the girl onto the donkey cart in a daze. They didn't speak again until they got home.
The two looked at the dirty girl. Mrs. Xu had no choice but to clean her up and find her daughter's clothes to change into.
After cleaning up, Mrs. Xu looked at the girl before her and frowned.
This girl looked fifteen or sixteen years old, and her appearance wasn't inferior to her daughter's. Her facial features were charming, but her eyebrows were sharp, carrying a trace of heroic spirit.
She didn't look like an ordinary person at all. They didn't want to get into trouble because of the benefits.
"It hurts." Wan Qingkong opened her eyes and felt pain all over her body, especially her head, which was buzzing.
She struggled to support her body and looked around, but her limbs were weak.
"What is this place? Why am I here? Where am I?"
Wan Qingkong held her forehead with one hand and looked around carefully.
She didn't know why she did this. It seemed to be an automatic habit developed by her body. She had to figure out the surrounding situation when she arrived at a place.
"You're awake."
Mrs. Xu pushed the door open and came in. She was happy to see Wan Qingkong wake up. Seeing the indifferent in her eyes, she subconsciously took a step back.
"Who are you? Where is this place?"
Wan Qingkong knew nothing then, so she decided to test the older woman before her.
The old woman did not answer, but asked her instead.
"How should I address you? Hubby, she's awake. Come in quickly."
Mrs. Xu was afraid she couldn't handle it alone, so she called Mr. Zhou, who was repairing things outside.
Wan Qingkong looked at the middle-aged man who came in and then at the woman's clothes just now. Words suddenly flashed in her mind: ancient times.
"How are you feeling?" Zhou Gen asked with concern.
"I'm fine. Where exactly is this place?" Wan Qingkong asked again.
"This is Lingshan Village. You are now at my house. On our way back from our relatives, my wife and I met you when you fainted.
If no one cares about you, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive. So we saved you out of kindness. What's your name?"
Looking at the girl before him, Mr. Zhou felt she might not be a young lady from a noble family but someone with an unknown identity.
She had nothing with her when they picked her up, and the clothes taken off were worthless.
Thinking of this, Zhou Gen emphasized that her situation was terrible when they met. What they did was entirely out of kindness.
Although he did not pay much, Mr. Zhou felt that he might lose money this time.
The girl looked very calm. It would be bad if she had any means to hurt them. Therefore, they had to let her know they were her savior.
At this time, Mr. Zhou also regretted his recklessness in saving her before, but it was too late to regret it now. He could only try to get as many benefits as possible.
"My name is Wan Qingkong."
There was nothing in Wan Qingkong 's mind except this name.
She had never heard of Lingshan Village, and the clothes of the two opposite her were strange. The clothes and style of speaking she was familiar with seemed incompatible with the two opposite her.
"Where's my stuff?"
Wan Qingkong wanted to find clues from the things around her, but she frowned when she saw the things taken out by the couple opposite her.
Although the other party said nothing, Wan Qingkong knew these were her clothes.
Mr. Zhou and his wife saw Wan Qingkong staring at the clothes without speaking. They thought that she felt that something was missing.
"We're not greedy for your things. It's really these things."
"I know. Thank you so much."
Wan Qingkong looked at the tattered clothes, but nothing was useful inside. Hesitantly, Wan Qingkong wondered what she should do now.
"You're too polite. Where are you from? Is there anyone else in your family?" Mr. Zhou asked tentatively.
"I'm the only one left."
Wan Qingkong had no memories, but she could tell Mr. Zhou was testing her. The more she said, the more mistakes she would make, so she didn't dare to say that she didn't remember.
Wan Qingkong saw the displeasure on Mr. Zhou's face and instantly understood her situation and why he was unhappy.
"Thank you for saving me. It's a little inconvenient for me now. If you need me to do anything to repay you, don't hesitate to tell me."
Wan Qingkong could tell that the couple in front of her was not that kind to do things for nothing. They should not have saved her for nothing.
She had nothing valuable on her, so the other party must be up to something.
Wan Qingkong needed to recuperate here, and she also needed to learn something from them, so she said it directly, which was good for both of them.
"We do need your help. I initially thought that you could give us some reward if you were rich. Is that too much?
After all, we saved you. However, judging from your situation, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you."
Wan Qingkong blushed a little. It seemed that she was not short of money in her memory. But now, after rummaging through her things, she found nothing valuable.
"Since this won't work, we have another thing to ask you for help.
I have a daughter who is engaged to a boy from the neighboring village. Unfortunately, something happened to my daughter, so she can't fulfill the engagement. Please help us achieve the engagement.
Don't be in a hurry to refuse. You don't have to worry about that young man's character and appearance. He is definitely worthy of you. Otherwise, we wouldn't have asked our daughter to marry him."
Seeing that Wan Qingkong was unmoved, Zhou Gen continued to persuade her.
"You said that you are the only one left in the family, and there is no problem with your background. We believe that for the time being.
Judging from your age, you should have reached the age to get married. Finding a suitable person for you will take a lot of work.
If you agree to this marriage, it will benefit both of us.
By the way, we have never seen your dress before. Do you have anything to prove your identity?
Without a Household Registration Certificate, it would be difficult for you to move a single step. I guessed that if you weren't a spy from another dukedom. You may be someone engaged in illegal or unethical activities in secret.
Ordinary people don't want to know so much, but after you recover, you have to get in touch with people and have an identity.
As long as you agree to complete the engagement for us, I will take good care of you and solve your identity problem."
Wan Qingkong had to admit that Mr. Zhou's words hit the nail. Although she didn't have much memory, she knew Mr. Zhou wasn't lying to her.
But for the marriage? Wan Qingkong needed to think about it carefully.
