After finishing her meal, Xiang Shulan stared at Xia Xiaoli.

She looked miserable and couldn't eat.

Xiang Shulan, who couldn't keep things to herself, felt wronged and saddened for Xia Xiaoli.

Xia Xiaoli looked at Xiang Shulan's expression.

"Sister-in-law, don't be sad, I'm really fine. I've thought it through, and I will definitely try my best to live a good life." Xia Xiaoli's change of heart doesn't mean Xiang Shulan's change of heart.

She was eating, but had no choice but to put down her chopsticks and come over to comfort him.

Xiang Shulan tried very hard to stop herself from thinking about it, but she couldn't control herself.

"Xiaoli, let's go report this to the police. The police will definitely stand up for you and help you cover it up. Your sister-in-law really can't accept what happened to you!" Xiang Shulan couldn't sleep all night after learning yesterday that Xia Xiaoli had been bullied and lost her innocence.

Xia Xiaoli comforted Xiang Shulan, saying, "Sister-in-law, I don't want to go."

If he goes, Li Qingming's life will be ruined.

She will also be criticized because of this.

“Why should we let someone like that get away with bullying you, Xiaoli!” Xiang Shulan might have silently endured it before, but she wouldn’t now. “Even if others find out, it doesn’t matter. Even if you don’t get married, your brother and sister-in-law can take care of you for the rest of your life, and you’ll have food to eat in this family! We can’t let outsiders get away with it.”

Xia Xiaoli was deeply moved after hearing Xiang Shulan's words.

With tears welling in his eyes, he stared at Xiang Shulan.

"Sister-in-law, I don't want to go, please respect my decision?" Xia Xiaoli looked at Xiang Shulan with pleading eyes.

Faced with Xia Xiaoli's pleas, Xiang Shulan felt helpless, and tears welled up in her eyes instantly.

"What should we do? Xiaoli, your sister-in-law can't accept this!" Xiang Shulan was even more upset than Xia Xiaoli.

She kept this to herself for a day, wishing she could kill that man on the spot for daring to bully her family.

Xia Xiaoli hugged Xiang Shulan and gently patted Xiang Shulan's shoulder.

After calming down, I continued eating dinner.

Xia Xiaoli was reading in her room, while Xiang Shulan was playing with her child in the living room.

Li Qingming forced himself to leave the hospital, and the first thing he did upon returning home was to ask his mother to propose marriage to Zhang Dali's family.

Zhang Hehua thought she had misheard.

"Son, you don't have a fever?" Zhang Hehua asked in disbelief.

Faced with his mother's doubts, Li Qingming nodded and explained, "I don't have a fever. I want to marry Comrade Xia Xiaoli. I hope you can go and remind me as soon as possible. I can accept any amount of dowry you offer."

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Zhang Hehua was very curious. Why wasn't she in a hurry before? Why is she suddenly in a hurry today?

He hadn't been back for two days. When asked what was going on, Liu Dahai said that Li Qingming was very busy working in the army.

There have been frequent transfers of people going to the north these past two days.

Now Li Qingming suddenly says he wants to marry Xia Xiaoli.

"I just suddenly feel anxious and want to get married," Li Qingming said to Zhang Hehua with a serious expression.

“She might not even want to date you, and you’re already talking about marrying her? Don’t you even look at yourself?” Zhang Hehua disliked her son more and more the more she looked at him.

Thinking of Xia Xiaoli's beautiful appearance, I wonder how many people admire her.

How could it possibly be my own son's turn?

"Mom, you can just go and propose marriage. I must marry Comrade Xia Xiaoli." Li Qingming was very eager. He applied for the last batch of soldiers to go to the north.

So he plans to get married within this week.

He couldn't bear to let Comrade Xia Xiaoli down, but he completely forgot what Xia Xiaoli had said to him in the hospital.

In his heart, since he had already done such a thing, he had to take responsibility for Xia Xiaoli.

“I know what you want to do. You want to go there after you get married, but you have to consider whether other people are willing to accept it!” Zhang Hehua does not object to her son marrying Xia Xiaoli, but she also has to consider the actual situation.

Li Qingming doesn't consider the actual situation at all.

“What if you sacrifice yourself over there? What will happen to that girl? Even if she's willing to marry you, you'll need to apply for a marriage proposal and it will take time.”

Zhang Hehua looked at Li Qingming, such a stubborn person, who would say he wouldn't get married and then not, but then immediately decide to get married. It was as if he treated getting a wife like a vegetable market.

"Did you do something to offend them? Otherwise, why are you in such a hurry?" Zhang Hehua was quick to speak, and asked whatever came to mind.

After asking the question, she noticed that her son did not respond.

Zhang Hehua was genuinely frightened.

Zhang Hehua, who was sitting down, was so frightened that she stood up.

The look in his eyes as he stared at Li Qingming was one of utter disbelief.

"What did you do? You didn't bully that girl, did you?" Zhang Hehua felt that her son wouldn't do such a shameful thing.

"Mom~" The moment Li Qingming looked up and met Zhang Hehua's gaze, he lowered his head guiltily.

Zhang Hehua was so frightened that her legs went weak and she couldn't stand up straight.

"Mom, be careful!" Li Qingming immediately stepped forward to support his mother.

Zhang Hehua grabbed Li Qingming by the collar and asked, "Tell me, what exactly did you do?"

"Mom..." Li Qingming had no choice but to tell his mother everything.

Zhang Hehua was completely taken aback.

Pointing at Li Qingming with a look of disappointment and frustration, the words of anger were already stuck in his throat.

“You’ve already learned your lesson once, why do you still trust others? If you hadn’t trusted others, would you have… hurt Xiaoli?” Zhang Hehua’s eyes had lost their former pride as she looked at her son, feeling that he was completely hopeless.
