Chapter 423 People Need to Recognize Their Own Abilities

When cooking, Jiang Yu cooked while Liu Cuihua lit the fire.

After it was done, she scooped it into a bowl and Liu Cuihua quickly stood up and said, "I'll serve it. You take a rest."

Jiang Yu blushed and whispered, "I'll take the sister-in-law's."

Liu Cuihua responded happily, picked up the coarse earthenware bowl and handed it to the men first.

Shen Qing took the noodle dumpling soup handed to her by Jiang Yu, and saw her waiting beside her with a look of admiration on her face. She wanted to tell her not to bother with her and go about her own business, but then she remembered that they hadn't seen each other for several months and a lot of things had happened. She had a lot to say to Xiaoyu, and maybe Xiaoyu also had something to say to her.

She was so hungry that she started eating the bacon, garlic sprout and dumpling soup as it gave off a fragrant aroma.

After dinner, Jiang Yu fetched some hot water. After Shen Qing took a comfortable bath, she sat on a chair and dried her hair when she saw Liu Cuihua walk in.

"Shen Qing, I, I have something to tell you." Liu Cuihua said hesitantly.

Shen Qing raised his eyebrows slightly.

It’s really strange that Cuihua, who is always carefree and straightforward, would stutter?

I stood there feeling so cramped that I didn't know what to do with my hands and feet.

She motioned for Liu Cuihua to sit on a nearby chair and asked gently, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the hot pot shop or something at the farm?"

Liu Cuihua shook her head and didn't sit down. She stood with her body slightly bent, frowning for a long time before she spoke hesitantly: "Yes, it's about Dafu."

Shen Qing suddenly remembered that she had brought Xiaoyu out specifically to let her spend more time with the Lei family!

It was a busy time later, with too many things to do, so Xiaoyu and the three members of the Lei family stayed at the farm, responsible for purchasing for the hot pot shop and various affairs at the farm. Of course, there were more than just the four of them, as there were also people like carpenter Zhao Xiaogou who had been there, and there were even more people who crossed over.

Did Cuihua come here to talk about the two of them? I don't know if they have made any progress, or to what extent.

She asked curiously, "You tell me."

Liu Cuihua seemed to have done something wrong and lowered her head to explain: "It's Dafu. Dafu has feelings for Xiaoyu, but don't worry, he has never done anything bad to Xiaoyu!

He, he just likes Xiaoyu and wants to marry her. Xiaoyu is your sister-in-law, what do you think?"

She had been watching for such a long time and felt that Xiaoyu must also be interested in Dafu, but she couldn't tell Shen Qing about this. If she told Shen Qing about something that didn't exist, wouldn't it tarnish the girl's reputation? It might even make Shen Qing think that Xiaoyu was not reserved.

She could only come to find out some information first.

Shen Qing wasn't surprised when she heard this, but she was a little puzzled: "Cuihua, shouldn't you ask Xiaoyu? Why are you asking me? If she's willing, then of course it's fine."

She thought Xiaoyu had already agreed, but after hearing what Cuihua said, it seemed that the two of them were still one-sidedly eager?

Liu Cuihua said nervously, "Aren't you the eldest sister-in-law who is like a mother? Normally, you have the final say on her marriage. I wanted to ask you if you agree with her remarrying."

Shen Qing laughed: "I'm not a pedantic person. How could I restrain her when she's so young? You're asking the wrong person. You should ask her. If she agrees, I have no objection."

In fact, it was she who arranged for them to have the opportunity to get to know each other alone!

But judging from Cuihua's behavior, Xiaoyu didn't leak a single word. Well, she is a calm person.

Liu Cuihua's previous nervousness swept away, as if the shackles that had been pressing on her body had been lifted off, and she felt much lighter. She sat down on the bench next to Shen Qing, leaned forward and asked, "Shen Qing, I was so nervous before. You know Dafu is old, and I was afraid that you would disagree and think that I was a toad wanting to eat swan meat!"

They were afraid that Shen Qing would think they were above their station, and that they would think they had ulterior motives.

After all, Mrs. Cao had targeted Jiang Yu several times before.

Shen Qing calmly inquired, "What are you talking about? Xiaoyu is about the same age as Dafu, and you know what happened before, Xiaoyu. Does your family mind?"

Liu Cuihua shook her head like a rattle and said hurriedly: "Why do you mind? Isn't that the Liu family's evil? It's also the Liu family's own messing around and not living a good life. Otherwise, they wouldn't have lost a good daughter-in-law.

"To be honest, as long as a girl with good character is willing to marry a rich man, our whole family will be grateful to her! Why would we care about trivial things?"

They only care about character. If a person has bad character, they would rather be rich and single. Because bad character will cause trouble between brothers and parents, and they will have to separate and live separately in the future anyway, but husband and wife are supposed to support each other for life. Is it a way for two completely different people to live together? It's simply an enmity!

Besides, what is a divorce? Even if the husband dies or is divorced and has to take care of a few children, it is not a problem at all.

Shen Qing continued, "You also know that the Liu family has always said that Xiaoyu can't get pregnant, and Wang Chuntao gave birth to a child for Liu Sheng. If Xiaoyu gets married..."

Liu Cuihua took a deep breath, stared at Shen Qing and said bluntly: "Let me tell you the truth about our relationship: before you came to the village, the head of the family and I, no, even our entire Lei family thought that Dafu would die alone, and we had made plans for him to live alone for the rest of his life.

Now, not only does he not have to live out his life alone, he's also found someone he loves. He has someone who understands him and can spend the rest of his life with him. Do you think I still care about my children? If I'm worried about having no one to take care of me in my old age, why not adopt one or a few and take good care of them so they can have someone to rely on in their old age?

Before Shen Qing came, they were lucky enough with the income from hunting to support their family and keep them well fed and clothed. Most of the time, they were busy filling their stomachs and making clothes, and they didn't have much energy or money to consider getting married.

That is to say, following Shen Qing, not only can you have enough food to eat and wear cotton clothes, but you can also save a lot of money, which gives you the illusion of having a choice.

People should recognize their own abilities. Given the situation of their Lei family, the betrothal gift for marrying a wife is not a problem now, but all of this was given by Shen Qing!

If she and the head of the family cared about the child, they should have stopped Dafu and asked Shen Qing instead of worrying about it after marrying her into the family.

Shen Qing thought of how Liu Cuihua rushed to serve the dumpling soup to the men in the kitchen just now. It turned out that she had been protecting him as a family member early on.

Liu Cuihua added, "I know Xiaoyu has many skills. I saw Mrs. Cao's intentions towards her before, and I know it clearly. I swear to you that if our family has any such thoughts or plans, we will end up without descendants!"

She just wanted her eldest son to have someone who understood her and who was caring and considerate, and to support each other through the rest of their lives. She didn't ask for anything else.

Shen Qing opened his mouth. This oath was very serious no matter which dynasty it was in!

But she was not worried in the first place. Today, she was not worried about the Lei family or other families because she trusted Xiaoyu.
