Aunt Wang is not young anymore, and she fell for two days in a row. Not to mention her age, even a young person would not be able to stand it!

Look, Aunt Wang really didn’t get up this morning, and she was reluctant to ask for leave, so she had to let her son take her to school for a day!

Aunt Wang’s son, Wang Jiabao, is a widower who has lost three wives. Privately, people say that Wang Jiabao has a tough life and is unlucky with wives!

Although Wang Jiabao’s three wives had only been married into the Wang family for a few years, they were all very pregnant and gave birth to a total of 7 sons for Wang Jiabao!

The oldest is 11 years old and the youngest is still in swaddling clothes!

This led to Aunt Wang wanting to find another wife for Wang Jiabao so that she would have a daughter-in-law to serve her!

However, even though Wang Jiabao was a formal worker in a shoe factory, no matchmaker was willing to take on Wang Jiabao's job!

Even other female workers in the shoe factory, even if they were widows or divorced, would avoid Wang Jiabao when they saw him, for fear of any scandal with him!

Early in the morning that day, Wang Jiabao rushed to Gu's house carrying vegetables. When he was almost at the entrance of the alley where Gu's family lived, he saw Liu Xiaolian!

Liu Xiaolian waited for the whole morning, but she didn't see Aunt Wang and she became very anxious!

Then I saw a thin, short man walking towards me carrying Aunt Wang's backpack!

Liu Xiaolian frowned slightly and asked:

"Comrade, is that Auntie Wang's basket you're carrying? Why didn't she come to deliver the vegetables today?"

Wang Jiabao showed his yellow teeth and breathed:

"My mom fell so badly these past two days that she didn't even get out of bed this morning, so I'm taking her place for a day!"

"You are Comrade Xiao Liu, right? My mother told me that she fell down a few days ago, and it was thanks to you that she helped her!"

Liu Xiaolian said shyly:

"I can't help much, Brother Wang. This is your first time delivering food, so you may not be familiar with the Gu family. I've helped Aunt Wang get to know them all. I'll accompany you to deliver the food!"

In fact, Wang Jiabao often helps Aunt Wang deliver vegetables when she is busy taking care of the children!

However, after Liu Xiaolian said this, Wang Jiabao looked at Liu Xiaolian carefully and did not say anything to refuse!

His mother went home and said that Comrade Xiao Li was capable and gentle, and was simply the best choice for him to marry again!

Although Wang Jiabao felt that Liu Xiaolian looked a little thin, her face was still pretty and her eyes were big, so he liked her very much!

As for the issue of being thin, there is nothing that can be done about it. With his conditions, he is satisfied with having a woman to maintain the family. What else is there to complain about?

Wang Jiabao wanted to spend more time with Liu Xiaolian, so he didn't refuse. He bared his yellow teeth and thanked her:

"Comrade Xiao Liu, thank you so much. Without your help, I don't know how big a mistake I would have made!"

As they walked, Wang Jiabao asked Liu Xiaolian about her family situation in a roundabout way. He didn't even stop when they arrived at Gu's house, which annoyed Liu Xiaolian a lot!

However, she needed a favor from Wang Jiabao, so she couldn't lose face and not answer!

In this way, all the way to the Gu family kitchen, Wang Jiabao asked eagerly:

"Xiao Lian, how much dowry does your family want for your marriage?"

"This woman, once married, belongs to her husband's family. The betrothal gift her parents ask for is not worth spending. If she offends her husband's family for her parents' family, that would be too stupid. Don't you think so, Xiaolian?"

Wang Jiabao is also a very outgoing person. After asking Liu Xiaolian's name, he no longer called her Comrade Xiao Liu, but directly called her Xiaolian!

When Liu Xiaolian saw his big yellow teeth, and his face full of wrinkles caused by being thin and worried about the hardships of life, and heard him calling her "Xiaolian" all the time, she almost vomited!

Liu Xiaolian thought about what she was going to do next, and sent Wang Jiabao away, saying:

"Brother Wang, I have something else to do. You have already delivered the food, so you can go back first!"

Wang Jiabao didn't know how to read people's eyes. He said earnestly:

"Xiao Lian, what else do you want? Do you know the Gu family?"

"Hey, let me help you with what you want to do. We can go back together later. I'll have someone to keep me company on the way and we can talk!"

Liu Xiaolian was extremely annoyed, but she wanted to accomplish something important and didn't want to cause any trouble, so she could only hold back her anger and say:

"Brother Wang, I'm quite familiar with the Gu family. Aunt Gu is Grandpa Gu's daughter-in-law and my mother's colleague. I'll chat with Aunt Gu for a while before going back!"

When Wang Jiabao heard that Liu Xiaolian also knew Grandpa Gu’s daughter-in-law, his somewhat cloudy eyes lit up!

In this case, he can't leave even more. He must seize such a good candidate for a daughter-in-law!

Wang Jiabao said more positively:

"That's fine. I'll help Aunt Li in the kitchen pick vegetables. My mom used to help Aunt Li pick vegetables. Aunt Li is a nice person. She would let my mom take back the vegetables that weren't very good. This way, she can save money on buying vegetables!"

As he spoke, Wang Jiabao started picking the vegetables quickly!

Liu Xiaolian was so anxious that she wanted to kick him out!

After wiping the cabinet, Aunt Li was about to go to the kitchen to check on the cabbage simmering in the pot, when she saw Liu Xiaolian, whom she had asked her to deliver yesterday!

Aunt Li felt very bad, thinking that this girl had no shame at all. No one in the family liked her. She chased her away yesterday, and now she came sticking to her again today!

Aunt Li looked unhappy and was about to chase her away again, but Liu Xiaolian smiled and said:

"Aunt Li, the safflower oil you used yesterday was so useful. My arm is healed today. Aunt Li, do you want to serve the food? Let me help you!"

Liu Xiaolian couldn't wait to pick up the spatula and start serving the food. Aunt Li said anxiously:

"Comrade Xiaolian, just give me the spatula, I'll serve it, I'll serve it!"

Liu Xiaolian dodged Aunt Li's move to grab the spatula, leaned sideways, and quickly served the dishes, explaining as she served:

"Aunt Li, it's okay. I often do these things at home. Just leave it to me!"

Wang Jiabao was very happy to see Liu Xiaolian being so diligent and efficient at work, and thought that he had made a great choice in choosing her as his daughter-in-law!

No matter how hard Aunt Li tried to snatch the food from Liu Xiaolian, she couldn't get it back and the dish was finally held in Liu Xiaolian's hands!

Because boiling cabbage is quite hot, even if Aunt Li didn't want Liu Xiaolian to take her job, she couldn't compete with her. After all, if the food spilled out and got burned, she would be disfigured!

Aunt Li was annoyed with Liu Xiaolian, but she was not a bad person. She would never do such a thing as disfiguring a young, unmarried girl just to snatch her job!

Aunt Li could only watch in frustration as Liu Xiaolian carried the stewed cabbage out!

Looking at Aunt Li who didn't catch up and the stewed cabbage in her hand, Liu Xiaolian showed a triumphant smile!
