Chapter 167 Good Things Are About to Happen

Upon hearing Li Chunhua's words, Wei Mo realized that Li Chunhua had clearly considered him as well. He smiled gently and continued speaking to Li Chunhua:

“Aunt Chunhua, Brother Li is now being held accountable because of his family issues. The best solution is for him to join the village.”

"Moreover, I feel that Brother Li is a good person. He is especially kind to children and always gives me candy."

"That's right. The reason I came is that he asked me to come and help mediate. How could a little kid like me know so much? I feel that this matter should be discussed in detail between you and Brother Li."

Li Chunhua blushed with embarrassment; life without a man was indeed too difficult.

But this is the 1960s; every day was filled with manual labor. And I was a woman all alone.

Ultimately, without Li Xiuxiu's strength, heavy work was exceptionally difficult for Li Chunhua. If a man were willing to marry her, Li Chunhua would marry him without hesitation.

As long as he was good to her children, Li Chunhua hesitated, gritted her teeth, and nodded to the two people in front of her:

"Then let him in, and I'll explain everything to him in detail."

Upon hearing this, Wei Mo was overjoyed and immediately shouted outside:

"Brother Li, come in quickly."

Hearing Wei Mo's shouts outside the house, Li Taiping rushed inside. Seeing Li Xiuxiu and Wei Mo smiling, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Beside him stood Li Chunhua, blushing shyly, who had already been married once. Li Taiping quickly asked:

"What's wrong? Wei Mo, is something the matter?"

Wei Mo's small eyes darted around, clearly plotting something mischievous. He slowly spoke to Li Taiping:

“Brother Li, I think you’ll have to call me Uncle from now on. I feel that’s not fair. It’s easier to just call me Brother Li. What should I do?”

Hearing Wei Mo's teasing, Li Taiping was first taken aback, then realized what he meant and was delighted.

Wei Mo's words made it clear that he had been calling her "brother" and now needed to change how he addressed her. Li Chunhua, standing to the side, blushed with embarrassment.

It is said that a wife follows her husband after marriage, and I plan to try getting along with Li Taiping, since it is too difficult for me to raise three children on my own.

Moreover, she whispered to herself that many things at home needed a man to take care of.

"From now on, you can call me Chunhua."

Li Taiping finally understood what Li Chunhua meant. She was quite excited. As long as Li Chunhua agreed to let her register her household here, there would be absolutely no problem.

However, he was not a heartless person. Since Li Chunhua wanted to agree to marry him, he would not let her down and would definitely treat her children well.

Li Taiping nodded solemnly to Li Chunhua before slowly speaking.

"Sister Chunhua, don't worry. If we really become a couple, I will treat the children well. It's just that my current situation is not good. I may be held accountable, and it may even implicate you."

Seeing Li Taiping's sincerity, Li Chunhua also revealed her own thoughts.

“I am a woman who has been married and divorced, and I have three burdens. I am not good enough for you at all.”

“You can find someone better, unlike me, who is already a mother of three.”

Both of them sincerely expressed their thoughts. Li Taiping quickly waved his hand and said to Li Chunhua:

"Sister Chunhua, it's not that you're not good enough for me, it's that I'm not good enough for you."

The two exchanged pleasantries, while Li Xiuxiu and Wei Mo chuckled to themselves.

Wei Mo couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter.

Looking at Li Taiping and Li Chunhua in front of them, the two found it particularly interesting, and they were both talking about their own shortcomings.

Moreover, they both had a slight interest in each other. Li Taiping and Li Chunhua blushed and stood there awkwardly.

She didn't even know where to put her hands. At this moment, Li Xiuxiu slowly spoke up:

“Since you’re both interested, I think you should get together as soon as possible. Chunhua isn’t doing too well right now, and Li Zhiqing can help Chunhua’s family!”

Fortunately, Li Taiping's identity is also a problem, so it's better to go to the village to get the necessary paperwork done as soon as possible and resolve this potential issue.

Li Taiping nodded excitedly, while Li Chunhua was quite surprised by Li Xiuxiu's words.

But thinking of her children, she nodded in agreement.

Seeing that things had gone smoothly, Li Xiuxiu smiled especially happily and then spoke directly to the two of them:

"In that case, go to my house and find my godfather to get you a certificate."

However, after Li Xiuxiu spoke, Li Chunhua hesitated for a moment, then tentatively voiced what she was thinking:

"I also want to ask my children if they would like it."

After all, they would be living together in the future. Li Taiping was taken aback when he heard this, but then nodded in agreement.

"Yes, yes, we should ask for their opinions. Don't worry, I will definitely treat them well. But if they disagree, I won't make things difficult for you."

Wei Mo and Li Xiuxiu watched the two shy people from the side. Li Xiuxiu tugged at Wei Mo's hand, her meaning clear: she didn't want to be a third wheel.

Moreover, it would be awkward for the two of them to talk to each other, so it would be better for them to simply leave. Since the overall situation is already settled, there's no need for them to worry about it.

Li Xiuxiu stood up, pulled Wei Mo off the kang (a heated brick bed), and slowly spoke to Li Taiping and Li Chunhua:

"Then we'll head back now. Dinner's almost ready at home. You two can talk it over. If you really decide on something, remember to give us good news. We're your matchmakers!"

Li Taiping quickly chimed in,

"Of course, of course. I'll give Wei Mo a big red envelope later."

Although Wei Mo doesn't need it, this is still a novel thing.

If the two of them could really get together, they would not only rescue Li Taiping, but also help Aunt Chunhua take care of her three children.

Wei Mo was quite satisfied with this, and he and Li Xiuxiu walked out of Li Chunhua's house together.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to look back at Li Taiping and Li Chunhua, who were standing at the door seeing him off.

After Li Xiuxiu and Wei Mo left, the atmosphere between Li Chunhua and Li Taiping became much more awkward.

Chunhua took the initiative to speak to Li Taiping:

"Um, please come in and sit down."

After all, they are both single now, and it wouldn't be good if others saw them.

Moreover, when the two of them are together, they need to ask for the children's opinion. Li Chunhua doesn't want others to know until the children have spoken up.

This would affect Li Taiping's reputation. Upon hearing this, Li Taiping slowly nodded.

He was also a little nervous, following behind Li Chunhua. He was very satisfied with Li Chunhua's figure and personality.

Li Chunhua quickly cleaned the kang (a heated brick bed), and while pointing at it, she said shyly to Li Taiping:

"You sit here first, I, I..."
