Qiuju took Cheng Huaishan home and talked to him about the date.

When Cheng Huaishan heard about the girl's previous experience, he was stunned for a moment.

He thought that this was how his life would be, and he never expected to grow old with anyone. He didn't expect that Sister Qiuju would actually want to find him a partner.

And this girl, whom he had met once, had a past of being hurt just like him, and was even a hundred times more painful than him. No wonder she cried so heart-wrenchingly and painfully when he met her in the mountains last time.

He suddenly felt a desire to protect this weak girl.

"What? You don't like her? Let me tell you, if you miss this opportunity, you'll never get it again. She's a hardworking girl. Although she's been married once, if it weren't for bad luck, it wouldn't be your turn. Don't be ungrateful." Qiuju saw that he was silent and thought he was not happy to see her.

"No, how could that be? I agree." Cheng Huaishan quickly patted his chest to assure himself that he was not unwilling.

After thinking about it, I said a little embarrassedly: "I don't know what others think." This is what it means to like someone.

"You mean you've fallen in love with someone? That's more like it. My mother is almost broken-hearted about you. If you really like someone, marry her as soon as possible and live a good life. Your mother will rest in peace in her grave.

You're living alone without a parent, and she's also severed ties with her parents. It's so nice for the two of you to live your own lives without having to worry about anyone else's feelings. "Qiu Ju sighed.

She went home and packed up briefly, found a few gifts from home and gave them to Cheng Huaishan. Cheng Huaishan had not thought about this when he came, and he came with empty hands. He quickly took out money and gave it to Qiuju as money to buy these gifts.

After the two of them had discussed it, they headed towards Li Qingyun's house again.

Li Qingyun also learned the whole story from her sister.

It turns out that they have a history. Qinghuan went back to her parents' home some time ago and was ordered by Li's mother to go up the mountain to collect firewood before dawn every day.

Once she accidentally tripped over a branch and cut her hand, which bled a lot. She felt pain, sadness and helplessness at the same time, and all kinds of emotions surged up in her. She sat on the ground and started crying loudly.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Huaishan happened to pass by the hill at that time. He heard someone crying and hurried over to check. That's how the two met.

He thought she was seriously injured, so he quickly asked her what was wrong and if she needed help or to call for help.

Qinghuan said embarrassedly that she had cut her hand, and Cheng Huaishan took out his medicine from his cloth bag and handed it to her.

He said that his family used to be hunters, and getting injured was commonplace. This medicine was one they always had on hand to treat skin injuries, and it was very effective. He asked her to apply it, and the wound scabped over in a few days.

Later, I saw her carrying a basket of firewood, and I specially helped her carry it to the foot of the mountain before leaving.

Li Qingyun learned from Qinghuan's few words that this man was quite upright and kind-hearted.

From the brief encounter we just had, he seemed honest and simple, but polite and well-mannered. He must be a man who can live his life.

Moreover, the two of them had a certain degree of fate. The two who were originally going to meet had actually met in advance, which gave Li Qingyun confidence in the upcoming meeting.

"Qinghuan, what do you think of this guy? If you think he's okay, when he comes over later, we'll give you two some time and space to chat alone. If you think he's okay, I'll have a good talk with Sister Qiuju about the rest of the matter, and I won't let you suffer any loss." Li Qingyun said tentatively.

"I can't really say, but he is indeed a good person." He did not take advantage of her and even sent her safely to the foot of the mountain before leaving.

"Okay, let's see."

The two changed into clean clothes, tidied themselves up, put some snacks and fried pine nut pastries on the table, brewed a pot of tea, and waited for guests to arrive.

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

Qinghuan stared at the door nervously.

"Sister-in-law, please come in and talk." Li Qingyun invited them into the main room, asked them to sit down, and poured them tea.

Qinghuan sat on the stool feeling very uncomfortable, her face so red that it seemed like blood was about to drip out. She was wearing a light yellow cotton jacket that her original body had made for her. She was young and her face looked very tender. She stood tall and graceful, like a camellia bud about to bloom.

Once people have different standpoints, their thoughts will also be different. When Cheng Huaishan saw her for the first time, she was also pitiful, but he had no other thoughts at the time. He just thought she was a little funny and a little pitiful.

They just met briefly outside, and he was able to face it normally without any ripples in his heart.

However, at this moment, when he brought her into the group of his blind date, his future partner, he actually felt that he couldn't look at her directly, as if it would be a blasphemy to look at her any longer. There was a faint expectation in his heart. In all these years, he had never had such a throbbing feeling towards any woman.

In the past, he always wanted to cure his mother's illness before talking about other things. There were many girls in the village who liked him, and some even took the initiative to show their affection to him, but they didn't want him to drag his seriously ill old mother along, and some even spoke harshly to them. Over time, he avoided women like the plague.

His subsequent experiences made him feel that being alone was also good, and that women were quite troublesome.

But when he saw her sitting there obediently with a blushing face, he felt that he was not so afraid of trouble.

"Sister Qingyun, this is a little token of my appreciation." Cheng Huaishan put the gift on the table.

Li Qingyun exchanged a few pleasantries, and the others began to get down to business. Since they had all experienced this before, there was nothing to avoid, so they went straight to the point.

"Qingyun, Qinghuan, if you have anything you want to ask Huaishan, just ask. There are no outsiders here, so we can talk about anything." Sister Qiuju went straight to the point.

"Okay, let me say a few words first, Brother Huaishan, my sister-in-law should have told you that my sister has a miserable life. The man in front almost took her life.

As the eldest sister, I can support her, but I don't want her to be disheartened at such a young age. Life must go on. Only when she has a normal family and her own children can there be hope in life. This is her best destination.

So when Sister Qiuju mentioned this to me before, I agreed to give it a try. We also have a general understanding of your situation. If you both think the other person is suitable, this would be a good marriage.

You two are going to live your life together. My sister wants to talk to you alone. You can make your own decisions after the conversation. Whether you agree or not, we can discuss it together."

"No problem, Sister Qingyun." Cheng Huaishan immediately stood up stiffly, which made Li Qingyun laugh.

"Your sister Qingyun and I will go outside to check on Erbao, and you two can talk on your own."

Sister Qiuju also stood up and walked out of the main room with Li Qingyun. They played with Erbao in the yard. He was alone in the fence, chewing on toys and babbling.

Both of them stared at the main hall, and no one knew what they were talking about or whether they could reach an agreement.

"Look at the two of us. It's really true that the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is."
