In her previous life, Li Mingxi was an orphan. She encountered a car accident on her way home from work and was reborn into the 1960s, becoming the most beloved granddaughter of the Old Li family.<...
Old Mrs. Zhu thought about what Zhao Yutian had said at the time. If the marriage went through, she would get a ten-dollar commission. Seeing that the duck that was about to be in her mouth flew away, she became anxious and stepped forward to grab Liu Zhaodi's arm.
"No, Zhaodi, you can't play tricks on me like this, right? You said your family agreed, so I told them. Now you don't want to anymore, what should I do?"
Liu Zhaodi smiled awkwardly, "Auntie, you see, this is a mistake. The child's father doesn't agree. I'm really sorry."
Old Lady Zhu snorted, "Your husband doesn't agree. Why didn't you tell me earlier? Isn't this just a waste of time?!"
"I'm so sorry, auntie, you see, this is all my fault!"
Old Lady Zhu glanced at Liu Zhaodi, thinking that her trip couldn't be in vain, and she couldn't go back empty-handed. "Forget it, forget it, it's just my bad luck. Really, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have told them. Now what should I do? They're quite satisfied with your family!"
She thought her hint was obvious enough, but the couple didn't seem to understand her, or what? They just didn't move.
She was so angry that she said, "Bah, what a waste of feelings!" and left.
Li Aimin was a little confused. He didn't understand why this person was fine just now but was so angry now. Liu Zhaodi actually understood what Old Lady Zhu meant, but she was reluctant to do so. She didn't get anything and it was a waste of money. That's why she didn't want to do it!
As soon as Erni entered the room, she noticed Li Taohua was constantly peeking at her, "Why are you looking at me?"
Li Taohua blinked and said innocently, "Sister Erni, are you angry? Because our mother wants to marry you off?"
Erni knew who she was after she pushed her into the river last time, and usually ignored her. "What's it to you? If I marry an old bachelor, will you be happy?"
"Sister Erni, don't say that. I'm just asking you, I don't want you to marry an old bachelor, but isn't that what our mother said?"
Erni's face was full of smiles. She looked at her and said word by word, "I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. I don't have to marry an old bachelor. My father and grandmother don't agree!"
Li Taohua's face showed reluctance for a moment, but then she regained her composure, "Really? That's great, sister!
She also put in more effort in this matter of Erni. She originally thought it would be great if she could marry Li Xinghua off, but she was stopped by Niu Cuihua and Li Aimin. But it doesn't matter. If she doesn't have the chance this time, there will be next time. One day she will make Li Xinghua experience a life worse than death!
Erni looked at Li Taohua's hypocrisy and ignored her. In fact, she could guess that this incident was related to Li Taohua. Otherwise, her mother Liu Zhaodi would not have the courage to do it alone. Not to mention Niu Cuihua, she could not even pass Li Aimin. It must be this girl who gave her mother the idea.
Sometimes, she really couldn't understand why Sanni became like this. When she asked herself, she hadn't done anything to let her down, so why did she always target her?
At this moment, at Old Li's house, Niu Cuihua has not yet recovered.
"What sin have I committed? Marrying a daughter-in-law like this, who loves to cause trouble, is fine, but now she wants to marry her to a man whose wife has died just for a few bucks. I really shouldn't have been soft-hearted in the first place! Agree to this marriage!"
When Niu Cuihua talked about what happened in the past, Zhang Huilan and Li Aiguo stood aside and could not respond. Li Mingxi, Li Mingyi and Li Mingde, the three siblings, did not dare to breathe.
Old man Li sighed, "Alright, why say this in front of the children? I should pay more attention to the third brother's family in the future! So that his wife won't do this again."
Niu Cuihua complained, "Who can look after his family every day? Look at what happened today. If we hadn't come back early, Erni would have been sold off by her. Isn't this embarrassing? How can others look after our family?"
Li Aiguo comforted her, "Isn't that all? Okay, Mom, don't be angry. It's not worth it to ruin your health."
Li Mingxi went forward and hugged Niu Cuihua and acted coquettishly, "Grandma, don't be angry anymore. I don't want you to be angry." As she said this, she winked at her two younger brothers.
Li Mingyi received his sister's signal and said, "Grandma, don't worry. From now on, Xiaode and I will help you keep an eye on Third Aunt's mother."
Li Mingde agreed, "That's right, that's right, grandma, we'll help you keep an eye on it."
Niu Cuihua scolded, "Why are you two meddling in this? How can you keep an eye on me from such a long distance?"
Li Mingde patted his chest and said, "My brother and I have a way, don't worry!"
Li Mingxi knew that his two twin brothers were very smart despite their young age. They even had an investigation team of the Dongfeng Brigade. Nothing that happened in the village could escape their ears. That night, the two of them held an emergency meeting for the gossip team and asked them to keep a close eye on their third uncle's family.
A few days later, she got the exact news. It turned out that some time ago, Liu Zhaodi went home and heard her mother, Mrs. Zhao, say that there was a bachelor in Zhaojia Village who was looking for a matchmaker and offered a betrothal gift of 60 yuan. She was tempted at the time, and Mrs. Zhao kept persuading her that if she missed the opportunity, she would never have it again. That was why she decided to marry Erni to the man.
After that, she deceived Li Aimin while raising the bride price. The extra money would naturally be given to her parents' home. When the twins heard the news, they told Niu Cuihua. After hearing it, Niu Cuihua was so angry that she said she had married a spendthrift. Li Mingxi had to spend a lot of effort to calm her down.
Ever since Li Xinghua openly opposed Liu Zhaodi and did not let her get her wish, Liu Zhaodi has been looking for trouble with her every day for no reason. Fortunately, this situation did not last long. Second uncle's family came back from the county town and brought back the news that the county textile factory was recruiting workers.
"Second brother, are you telling the truth?"
Li Aidang assured, "It's definitely true. This is what a colleague of mine said. His father is the workshop director of a textile factory. He said this is internal information and hasn't been announced to the public yet. I thought it would be a waste for Dani and the others to go to school for so many years and then work at home every day. As soon as I heard the news, I rushed back."
Niu Cuihua thought for a moment and then spoke slowly, "That's perfect. Erni isn't going to school anymore, so let them all try. If they can really get a job as a factory worker, they'll have a really good life in the future."
Li Aidang was puzzled, "Why didn't Erni go to school? Isn't she a good student?"
Niu Cuihua shook her head and sighed, "Oh, don't mention it. It's all Liu Zhaodi's fault. She insisted on finding a wife for this girl. She could have said it, but she said something else. She said a widower. Who would want that? We had a big fight, and now Liu Zhaodi won't let her get married no matter what."
