The old man was quite satisfied with Li Taiping's attitude, nodded to him, and then spoke to him.

"Alright, bring your things in. Be careful in the future, since you're still a sent-down youth. It would be safer if you could stay in a village."

Li Taiping nodded and followed closely behind Old Master Yu.

As soon as I stepped into the yard, I saw little Wei Mo playing there.

Wei Mo was having a snowball fight with his sister when he saw Li Taiping walking over. He immediately stopped what he was doing and ran towards him.

After all, Li Taiping is Wei Mo's only means of obtaining funds now, and if something happens to Li Taiping, Wei Mo may also run into trouble.

When the old man saw Wei Mo running over, he patted Li Taiping on the shoulder and comforted him.

"You should listen to what my grandson has to say and let him give you some advice. This can't go on forever, living in constant fear."

Li Taiping nodded, then pulled Wei Mo to the courtyard gate before slowly speaking.

"Little prodigy, what should I do about this? Today's checkup is over, but I suspect others will come for checkups in the future."

"This can't go on forever; we'll be exposed sooner or later."

Upon hearing Li Taiping's words, Wei Mo began to think rapidly. Li Taiping was an educated youth sent to the countryside, and since something had happened to his family, he was likely to be held accountable.

The best solution now is to register Li Taiping's household registration in the village, making him a poor household in the village.

It's important to understand that being a struggling household in this era is not shameful; it's even something to be proud of.

In ancient times, being a poor peasant was the best status. Once Li Taiping changed his household registration to that of a poor peasant, his status problem could be completely solved.

After thinking about this, Wei Mo slowly spoke to Li Taiping,

"Brother Li, how old are you this year? If you're not feeling well, why don't you find a wife to marry into your family?"

"Going to the village, although it sounds a bit unpleasant, is much better than being held accountable and sent to a farm."

"Think about it yourself. However, I hope you can marry her sincerely and not harm others."

Li Taiping blushed a little at Wei Mo's suggestion. He was of marriageable age, and at 20, he was even older than the average age for marriage in rural areas.

In Northeast China during the 1960s, people were getting married at the age of sixteen or seventeen, but he is now far past that age.

He felt a headache coming on, and since he wasn't familiar with the villagers, he stammered as he asked.

“Little prodigy, do you see any suitable candidates? After all, I’m getting old, and I’d like to settle down here. Don’t worry, I will definitely treat them well.”

When Wei Mo heard Li Taiping's question, several black lines appeared on his face. He was just a child, and Li Taiping was stupid for asking him such questions.

However, Li Taiping is indeed in a difficult situation. Wei Mo really gave Li Taiping some time to think, and suddenly a candidate came to mind.

However, this was something he couldn't really say aloud, so he tentatively asked Li Taiping,

"Brother Li, could you accept a woman who has a child?"

Li Taiping is, after all, a young man who has never been married, so it's better to ask him about some things.

Li Taiping was clearly taken aback when he heard Wei Mo's words. A woman with children, isn't that a divorced woman?

The women in the village who fit the bill should be the mothers of Tian Xue, Tian Yue, and Tian Boguang.

Li Taiping couldn't help but recall his mother's appearance and personality. Now, he had nothing to complain about; he just wanted to live a peaceful and stable life.

Moreover, his status must be confirmed as soon as possible, and becoming a live-in son-in-law is a pretty good option.

Tian Xue and Tian Yue's mother is named Li Chunhua. In fact, she is not very old, even though Tian Boguang is already nine years old.

However, Li Chunhua was only twenty-four or twenty-five years old. After all, they were all from the countryside and got married relatively early.

She wasn't much older than Li Taiping, but she had three children, which was why Wei Mo was a little embarrassed to ask.

After thinking for a while, Li Taiping gritted his teeth. He had also heard about Tian Boguang's father, Tian Zhigang.

He had an affair with a widow and was kicked out of his home by Li Chunhua, who was a reliable and capable woman.

Rural women who raise three children on their own are facing considerable difficulties.

If I marry her, I can help her take care of her three children, and my identity will be completely resolved.

After thinking about this, Li Taiping nodded to Xiao Weimo and spoke frankly.

"Little Wei Mo, little prodigy, can you ask around for me? I want to register my household registration in the village permanently and get rid of this trouble."

"I just don't know if Li Chunhua is willing. I'm willing to raise her child, just to solve my own identity problem."

Wei Mozhen never expected that Li Taiping would be forced to this point, but it was something he had agreed to himself.

Fearing that Li Taiping might regret hurting Li Chunhua again, Wei Mo scratched his head and asked somewhat guiltily,

"Brother Taiping, you must treat her well. After all, it's a wedding. Don't make a fool of yourself, or my grandfather won't let you off the hook."

Li Taiping nodded seriously.

"Don't worry, as long as we get married, I will treat my spouse well. No matter what, staying in the village is better than being sent down to the countryside."

Hearing Li Taiping say this, Wei Mo hesitated, unsure whether he should tell his family about it. He tentatively asked,

“Then, Brother Li, I’ll go tell my mother and my grandparents and ask them to help you talk about this.”

Li Taiping was a little shy, so he quickly shook his head and pulled Wei Mo, who was about to leave, back to his feet.

"Let's not do this, Wei Mo. Could you please help me mediate? Don't worry, I will definitely not let you down."

Wei Mo felt a headache coming on when he heard this. How could a child like him get involved in this?

But seeing Li Taiping's pleading eyes, Wei Mo finally softened and nodded to Li Taiping.

Then he shouted into the house.

"Aunt Xiuxiu, come quickly and come out with me. Brother Li wants to see me about something."

Since Li Taiping didn't want others to know, but he still needed to bring a woman with him, it would make things easier for him to talk to Li Chunhua.

Hearing Wei Mo's call, Li Xiuxiu came out of the house and saw Wei Mo and Li Taiping standing to the side.

She stepped forward, hugged Wei Mo, and complimented Wei Mo's small nose.

Wei Mo was a little annoyed by Li Xiuxiu's actions, but Li Xiuxiu asked indifferently,

"What's wrong? Xiao Weimo, is something the matter?"
