Traveling through: I rely on space to raise the sick Wei Wang

Chapter 116 Uncertain Relationship
Ma Tianlun quickly comforted and explained: "Xiulian, I know you must have your own difficulties. Not only do you have to study hard, but you also have to face so many competitors. Life in the town must be very difficult. You spend more Money deserves it too."

As he said that, as if he was afraid that Wu Xiulian would not believe what he said, Ma Tianlun took out two taels of silver from his pocket and stuffed it to her. "This is the money I exchanged for wild boar meat from hunting in the mountains a few days ago. It is exactly two taels of silver. It is not easy for your mother to be a widow for you to study. This money will be my relief for you. You will use this Take the money to pay tuition fees."

"Ah, this, how does this make...Brother Ma, you have helped me enough, I can't accept this money!" Wu Xiulian's eyes lit up when she saw the silver, but she couldn't just accept it. Do it.

Ma Tianlun smiled sincerely. "What's the matter, I'm not only helping you, but also helping those children in Dajing Village who want to study. If you really pass the exam in the future, they will be proud of you. Everyone knows that our Dajing Village has a A female number one scholar, I also have light on my face, don't I?"

Wu Xiulian clenched her lower lip: "It still doesn't work. What if my mother finds out about this? You know, my mother wants to save face the most. If she knows that I have collected so much money from you in private, she will definitely have to scold me." Meal!"

"No, this is a secret between the two of us. God knows, you know, I know. If you don't tell me, your mother won't know."

When Wu Xiulian heard this, she pretended to reluctantly accept the money: "Okay, since you have said so, I can only accept your kindness, then...thank you, Brother Ma."

Looking at Wu Xiulian's delicate face, Ma Tianlun looked at her with eyes so spoiled that water overflowed.This made him more convinced that Wu Xiulian was by no means the kind of woman who covets glory.

"Brother Ma." At this moment Xu Ruqing lifted the curtain and came out.

I really can't blame her for being confused, but the fire went out somehow, and she had no experience in making fire, so she had no choice but to come out to find Ma Tianlun, and accidentally listened to their conversation.

"Miss Xu, are you looking for me?"

"Well, the fire is getting smaller and smaller. I really have no choice but to come to you." Xu Ruqing said to Ma Tianlun, but her eyes were scrutinizing Wu Xiulian who was beside her.

Wu Xiulian belongs to the Xiaojiabiyu type, her facial features can't be said to be three-dimensional, but she can be considered small and exquisite. Compared with the girls in the same village, her skin is much fairer, and her hair is only combed in a bun. The skirt made her look fresh and refined, with a fairy air.

She was wearing the most popular double-breasted gown cloud brocade skirt this year. The skirt was exquisitely crafted, and the orchid embroidery on it reminded Xu Ruqing that she had a similar one in her cloakroom. She spent a lot of money buying that skirt. A lot of money.

But, that's not the point.

The point is that Xu Ruqing felt an indescribable feeling when she saw her rosy face and round figure... and this kind of delicate gentleness can only be felt by pregnant women.

She also smelled a very special smell on her body, similar to the smell of mother's milk.This made Xu Ruqing deepen his guess.

Ma Tianlun smiled heartily: "Okay, I'll help you right away. Xiulian, don't think too much about studying hard. I'm going!"

Wu Xiulian lowered her head shyly, and gave a soft "hmm".

Ma Tianlun followed Xu Ruqing back to the kitchen to refuel the fire, and he was smiling all the time.

Xu Ruqing didn't need to guess to know that the reason why he did this must be because of Aunt Wu's daughter.But she was curious, how could an honest man like Ma Tianlun like a woman like Wu Xiulian.

Although she was far away in the kitchen, she still listened to the conversation between Wu Xiulian and Aunt Wu at that time. Xu Ruqing subconsciously felt that Wu Xiulian was not the traditional type of girl. Such a man can handle it.

"Brother Ma, how did you and Xiulian meet? I think you and her seem to have an unusual relationship." Unable to bear the curiosity in his heart, Xu Ruqing simply asked.

"You said Xiulian?" Ma Tianlun's thoughts seemed to go back to a long time ago. He recalled and said: "I have known Xiulian since we were young. I was only five years old when she was born. In a flash, 18 years have passed. Now I'm 23, we two are childhood sweethearts."

Xu Ruqing nodded thoughtfully: "Then when do you plan to propose marriage to Aunt Wu? Xiulian is not young anymore, and it's time to find a husband's family."

In ancient times, women generally married at the age of 15 and 16, and those who remarried after that were old girls.Generally, only women with improper conduct or serious illnesses will marry late, and the family members of women who marry late will be gossiped by the world.

As soon as he mentioned this, the smile on Ma Tianlun's face slowly disappeared visible to the naked eye.

He scratched his head in embarrassment: "I haven't written anything about Xiulian and I, we're talking about marriage... I haven't thought about it."

Xu Ruqing was puzzled: "Why?" Now that you have children, you can't wait for the woman to get pregnant before getting married, right?

"Because of being poor." Ma Tianlun smiled wryly.

Xu Ruqing couldn't help sympathizing with him: "Then what does Xiulian think? Does she like you?"

Hearing this, Ma Tianlun's tone became a little uncertain: "She...does she like me?" At least every time she gave her money, the way she looked at him was seductive and dependent.

Xu Ruqing was even more confused: "Do you like it or not? Why do I sound like you are very uncertain about your relationship?"

"To be honest, Xiulian and I haven't had a formal relationship yet, and we've been in an ambiguous stage. Actually, I don't know what she means to me."

Not sure about the relationship?And judging from the conversation, Ma Tianlun didn't seem to know that Wu Xiulian was pregnant. Could it be that Ma Tianlun was being used?
"Then you are still willing to give her money? I overheard your conversation. It seems that this is not the first time you have given her money?"

Ma Tianlun's brows revealed a hint of sadness: "Yes, since three years ago, I have secretly given her money every once in a while. I know that it is not easy for her to study, so I think I can help a little."

"Haven't it occurred to you that Xiulian doesn't want to be with you at all, and the reason why she is ambiguous with you is because you are still useful to her?"

Perhaps Xu Ruqing's words were too straightforward, which made Ma Tianlun a little hard to accept. He interrupted firmly: "Xiu Lian is not that kind of person!"
