Jiang Li held Shen Changan's hand tightly and came to the small courtyard at the entrance of the village.

Zhang Yufen was sitting in a chair with her eyes closed. When she heard the noise and opened her eyes, she saw her daughter standing in front of him holding the hand of a tall and handsome man.

"Xiao Li, this is Chang'an, right?"

Zhang Yufen looked at the two people in front of her with a smile. The girl was gentle and cute, and the boy was tall and handsome.

The two of them had a very good relationship and always walked hand in hand. Zhang Yufen was not a stupid person and she saw through their relationship in an instant.

“Mom, this is Shen Changan, the person I’m about to marry and the father of my two children!”

When Zhang Yufen heard the first half of the sentence, a bright smile appeared on her face. But when she heard the second half, she was stunned.

Jiang Li had not told her about this situation before, and Zhang Yufen found it hard to accept it for a while.

“Mom, I’m Shen Changan, Xiao Li and I are getting married soon.”

Shen Changan called her mom directly and was not at all shy with her.

Zhang Yufen stood there in a daze, not knowing how to answer.

"Xiao Li, what's going on? You just said that Shen Changan is the father of your two children? Does that mean you knew each other before?"

Zhang Yufen had a lot of doubts in her mind. Jiang Li took her hand and repeated what he had said to her uncle and Shen Changan's parents before.

Although Zhang Yufen was shocked, she had no choice but to accept the fact.

She nodded solemnly and said with difficulty.

"You young people have your own ideas. Mom won't interfere with you. As long as you like each other and have a good relationship, I won't interfere with who you marry."

"Thank you for your understanding, Mom."

Jiang Li held his mother's hand tightly. Zhang Yufen took a long time to digest it before she raised her head and stared at Shen Changan.

She found that the young man had a tall figure, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and looked very good.

There are many outstanding young people in Jiangjia Village, but none of them has the temperament like him.

Although he is handsome, he has a very serious appearance. It is obvious that he is from a respectable family and has a good upbringing.

Zhang Yufen also learned some information about Shen Changan from her daughter's mouth.

She knew that the young man came from a privileged family and was very hardworking.

Although my daughter is pretty, she was born into a poor family. It is indeed her luck to find such an outstanding young man to marry.

Zhang Yufen stared at Shen Changan again and again. She was a little embarrassed at first, but later she became a lot bolder.

All the embarrassment and awkwardness on her face disappeared, leaving only joy.

It is true that the more the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more satisfied she becomes.

Zhang Yufen's eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles. Shen Changan felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by her, and his eyes dodged for a moment.

"Not bad, not bad, this guy is very good, my daughter has good taste!"

"If I had known you had found such a good partner, you should have brought him back to let me and your father see him. We are both open-minded people and can solve problems in a timely manner, right?"

"Instead, you've been made to endure so much that you shouldn't have. Your father and I didn't know the real situation at the time, and we couldn't help but blame you for so long. Now I think about it and I really regret it!"

Zhang Yufen held Jiang Li's hand tightly, and her words were full of guilt.

"Mom, it's all over. Besides, I don't blame you."

Jiang Li comforted her mother softly, and Zhang Yufen took her to the kitchen.

"Come on, come on. Chang'an just got back at this hour, you must be hungry, right? Mom and Xiao Li will make you something delicious, you wait here for a while."

Jiang Li was pulled away, and before leaving, he looked at Shen Changan helplessly.

Shen Changan smiled and nodded, letting her go without worry.

Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Li entered the kitchen, Zhang Yufen couldn't help chattering.

"Xiao Li, what's the situation at Shen Changan's family? Does his family agree with your marriage?"

"Although your father is gone and your mother wasn't home before, your uncle is the only one in the family who makes the decision for you. Do they look down on you? Are they willing to give a normal betrothal gift?"

Zhang Yufen asked several questions in a long-winded manner at this time, and she turned into an old mother who was worried about her daughter.

Although he doesn't have much ability, he still cares very much about his daughter's affairs.

In order not to make his mother worry, Jiang Li first smiled and nodded, and patiently explained to her: “Mom, you also know that Shen Changan’s conditions are very good, but fortunately, your daughter is also very good.”

"His parents looked down on me at first, but then Grandma Chang'an came to the village and after spending a short time with me, she had a pretty good impression of me and started helping him convince his parents."

"Chen Changan has always been very determined in his feelings for me. He is determined to marry me in this life, and I like him very much. Now, after spending some time together, his family has completely accepted it."

"I didn't ask for a betrothal gift, but Chang'an's grandmother and mother gave me a lot of gold and silver jewelry. These things are priceless and more expensive than ordinary betrothal gifts. They also show how much they value me."

"His family doesn't look down on me and they treat me very well. After I marry Chang'an, we will move out and Chang'an will not let me suffer any injustice."

"Okay, okay, mom was afraid that without an adult at home, you would be looked down upon or even bullied by your in-laws. I didn't expect my daughter to be so outstanding. Even without the help of your parents, you can earn the respect of your in-laws through your own efforts."

"You're very capable, even more capable than mom! Your dad doesn't make much money, and we've done our best to raise you to this age. We can't give you anything better. It's mom's inability, and I'm so sorry!"

When Zhang Yufen said this, her eyes suddenly turned red. She was a sentimental person to begin with, and at this moment she couldn't help but shed tears.

"Mom, you gave birth to me so well and educated me so well. I am very grateful to you."

"Most people in the village have the same family situation. If others don't blame others, I won't blame you either."

Jiang Li held his mother's hand tightly and comforted her softly.

The mother and daughter cooked three bowls of noodles and a large pot of porridge.

It was already noon. After eating noodles, they delivered some porridge and water to the people who were tied up in the village in the afternoon.

The main consideration was that they would be escorted down the mountain soon and had to eat something to fill their stomachs, otherwise their legs would become weak on the way down the mountain or they might even faint from hunger, which would be a real disaster.

They waited until dark, but no one from the Public Security Bureau came up the mountain.

Shen Changan glanced at the dark sky and knew that they could not come today.

"Let's go back and rest. They will be here tomorrow morning."
