Chapter 181 Li Chunhua's Initiative

Wei Mo quickly begged for mercy.

"Stop, stop, stop. Show off your wife, wife, Aunt Zhou Fen has joined our family. Grandma and Grandpa have already taken her in as their goddaughter. Right now, Aunt Zhou Fen is playing hopscotch with my sisters in the yard."

Upon hearing the whole story, Li Xiuxiu couldn't help but feel happy for Zhou Fen, because although Zhou Fen wasn't familiar with her, she would be family in the future.

She put down her work, went out into the yard, and joined Wei Mo in playing hopscotch.

Until Qian Manman's shouts came from inside the house,

"Dinner's ready! Everyone come back and eat!"

The five of them stopped playing. As they played, Zhou Fen and Li Xiuxiu became familiar with each other and returned to their room together.

This was the first time Zhou Fen had ever tasted such delicious food, and she kept praising Qian Manman's cooking skills.

"Manman, your cooking skills are amazing! It tastes so good! I feel like I've been eating pig swill all this time. I really regret not joining sooner."

Qian Manman and the others all laughed, looking at Zhou Fen's silly and clumsy appearance, wondering how she could even say such things.

However, she was sincere, so no one else minded. The old man excitedly chimed in from the side.

"Zhou Fen, eat more if you like it, hurry up and eat."

Zhou Fen nodded happily and said to the old man,

"Understood, Godfather."

The meal was naturally very enjoyable.

Zhou Fen, who had originally planned to bring some things with her before moving in, immediately changed her mind and decided to move in right away to join Wei Mo's family.

The old man was about to leave when he saw Zhou Fen hesitating as if she wanted to speak. He quickly asked what was wrong.

“Zhou Fen, you’re my daughter now too. Just tell me anything you need to do.”

Zhou Fen felt a little awkward and slowly spoke to the old man.

"Godfather, I want to move here right now. If I had known this place was so good, I would have moved here a long time ago. I don't want to wait a moment longer."

The old man was also pleasantly surprised to hear this, and said to Zhou Fen...

"If you want to move, then move. Come on, we'll all help you move. I'll go to the cowshed to get the oxcart."

The others nodded excitedly upon hearing this, and even Wei Xiaomin and Wei Xiaohui followed behind, the whole family heading towards the female educated youth settlement in a grand procession.

Zhou Fen didn't have much stuff. After the old man arrived at the oxcart, everyone loaded their things onto the cart and followed behind. The women's educated youth settlement was completely emptied.

And so, Zhou Fen became a full member of Wei Mo's family.

When Li Taiping moved, he noticed the situation here and was incredibly envious, regretting that he was a grown man.

Because of the family members in the Wei family, the old man was not suitable to take in a godson. Even if a house full of women took in a godson, they wouldn't be able to move in.

However, Li Taiping is now very satisfied. He found four bags of rice weighing 50 jin each in Wei Mo's old house.

After discovering that Wei Mo had already transported the grain here, he immediately returned to the male educated youth settlement and pushed the cart over.

He also took Tian Xue and Tian Yue to play there until night fell, when Li Taiping finally pushed the four bags of rice to Li Chunhua's house.

Li Chunhua was taken aback when she saw the rice. She quickly helped Li Taiping carry all the rice into the house and asked him with a happy expression:

"Where did Taiping get this grain? How did they get so much?"

Li Taiping quickly explained to Li Chunhua, not wanting any misunderstanding. He scratched his head and said to Li Chunhua,

"This grain belongs to someone else. I need to sell it on the black market. This is my main source of income. I don't want to hide it from you, so I transported the grain back first. The grain we eat is also earned from here."

Hearing that Li Taiping was going to the black market, Li Chunhua couldn't help but feel worried. After hesitating for a moment, she spoke to Li Taiping,

"Taiping, if it's too dangerous, let's not do it. Let's live a good life together, okay?"

Looking at Li Chunhua, who was thinking of him, Li Taiping was overjoyed, but he still shook his head. He and Li Chunhua did not have any intimate actions at the moment.

He stepped forward and took Li Chunhua's hand. Li Chunhua seemed a little shy. Although she was already a mother of three, she and Tian Zhigang had no feelings for each other.

But now she and Li Taiping had feelings for each other, without crossing any lines. When Li Taiping held her hand, her heart couldn't help but race.

Li Taiping pulled Li Chunhua into his arms, and Li Chunhua, somewhat shyly, buried her face in Li Taiping's shoulder. Li Taiping whispered in her ear:

"Although there is some danger, it won't be too great. I still want you and the child to have a good life, so don't worry."

“I’ve been working on this for a while now, so there’s not much danger. I want you and the children to have a better life and stop living such a miserable existence.”

“It breaks my heart to see you doing farm work. Try to work less in the future. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of the family’s income.”

When Li Chunhua heard Li Taiping's words, her eyes filled with tears. This was the first time someone had ever cared about her.

Originally, Tian Zhigang required Li Chunhua to go to work every day to earn work points. But with Li Taiping, things changed completely.

She actually told him not to go to work, to leave all the money-making to him, to let him bear all the dangers, and to take good care of the three children who were not Li Taiping.

Li Chunhua was deeply moved when she heard this. Looking at Li Taiping's young and handsome face, she took the initiative to kiss him on the cheek.

Then he muttered to himself,

"Taiping, you are so wonderful. Why didn't I meet you sooner?"

As she finished speaking, tears streamed down her face as she couldn't help but think about the kind of life she had lived before.

Li Taiping looked at Li Chunhua in his arms and quickly wiped away her tears:

"Why are you crying? Don't worry, things will get better and better for us in the future."

Li Chunhua nodded, her tears turning into a smile, and then said somewhat shyly:

"Don't go back today. The two of us will stay in the side room, and the children can stay in the master bedroom."

Li Taiping was quite excited upon hearing this and nodded quickly.

He looked at Li Chunhua, who was already blushing with embarrassment, and was also very fond of her. Under Li Taiping's burning gaze, Li Chunhua continued softly...

"Let go quickly, the child is right here. I know you like children. If you want one, I'll have one for you, but don't be affectionate in front of the child, it's not good."

Li Taiping quickly nodded and released Li Chunhua from his arms.

After Li Chunhua's family finished dinner, the three siblings who had been clinging to Li Taiping were ordered by Li Chunhua to go to bed immediately.

The three sisters, Tian Boguang, Tian Xue, and Tian Yue, reluctantly went to bed on the kang (a heated brick bed), while Li Taiping lay on the headboard, feeling very excited, until the three little children gradually fell asleep.
