Chapter 7 Uncle's Last Wish

After dinner was ready, Wang Yanli called Wu Gang out, and as he watched his little aunt busy with the bowls and dishes, his heart was filled with awe.

He had never imagined that his little aunt would be such a stunning beauty, which explained why many of the village ruffians often harassed her.

"Xiao Gang, come here, over here."

Having set the tableware, Wang Yanli turned her head and saw Wu Gang standing not far away and called out to him. Only then did Wu Gang come to his senses and walk over to the table.

The two ate silently, with Wang Yanli constantly serving Wu Gang food, most of the small dish ending up in Wu Gang's bowl.

Looking at the dish of food, Wu Gang couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow, realizing that his little aunt had been deceiving him all along, and that the family's situation was much worse than he had imagined.

But he also knew how hard it was for his little aunt, a woman, to have raised him all by herself.

And he had been blind before!

The more he thought about it, the more grateful he felt towards Wang Yanli.

"Auntie, you should eat more too. In the future... in the future, I will definitely make you the happiest!"

Wu Gang clenched his teeth and said, "I heard from Xiao Fang that the massage parlor where she works is in need of a genuine male masseur like me. If I go to the town, I'm sure to earn more than I do in the village!"

Aside from massaging to earn money, Wu Gang really didn't know how else to make a living.

Upon hearing Wu Gang's words, Wang Yanli smiled knowingly, her already beautiful face glowing even more radiantly.

She said tenderly, "Good, our family's Xiao Gang is the most filial. From now on, Auntie will be counting on you."

Although she said this, Wu Gang always felt that there was an indescribable sentiment hiding in the depths of Wang Yanli's eyes.

His aunt must have a sore back and be tired!

The more Wu Gang thought about it, the more certain he became, and he said, "Auntie, after dinner and your bath, let me give you a massage."

"Why? You've had a long day, why give Auntie a massage? After dinner, I'll give you a bath, and then you can rest early," Wang Yanli directly refused Wu Gang.

"No, Auntie, I just learned two new acupressure points today. I tried them on Sister La Mei, and she felt very comfortable. You've raised me with so much hardship, a massage is the least I can do."

Wu Gang hastily ate a few bites of his meal and then said, "Auntie, take me to have a bath."

Having said this, he took the lead and walked towards the bathroom.

Seeing Wu Gang like this, Wang Yanli was at a loss, but her pretty face couldn't help but redden, for she vividly remembered what had happened at noon.

Unable to argue with Wu Gang, Wang Yanli could only shake her head with a wry smile.

However, her wry smile quickly vanished. She carefully took out a small pack of pink powder from her pants pocket, her eyes filled with hesitation.

In fact, no one knew that on his deathbed, Wu Gang's uncle had grasped Wang Yanli's hand and earnestly pleaded with her to take good care of Wu Gang.

Wang Yanli did not object to this request. However, the next words left her completely stunned. Wu Gang's uncle actually wanted Wang Yanli to have a child with Wu Gang to continue the Wu Family line!

After hearing this, Wang Yanli flatly refused!

It was utterly preposterous!

She was Wu Gang's little aunt; how could she do such a thing with Wu Gang? But out of respect for her husband's tearful pleas, Wang Yanli eventually softened.

Because Wu Gang's uncle was right, Wu Gang was blind, and which woman would want to marry a blind man?

Thinking of how she hadn't given the Wu Family any offspring and feeling guilty about it, maybe this was a way to make amends, even if it was far-fetched!

Now that Wu Gang was twenty years old, Wang Yanli felt it was the right time; otherwise, it might be difficult to have children if they waited any longer.

The medicine in her hand was prepared for Wu Gang because the absurd idea from noon wouldn't leave her mind. To get it over with seemed a better option than to let it linger.

With that thought, Wang Yanli steeled her gaze and tucked the powder into her pocket, heading toward the bathroom...
