Yang Liu finally figured it out. Her second aunt knew that Zhou Huatao was not a good man, but she still tried every means to push her elder sister into the fire pit. It must be because their family promised her some benefits.
Seeing this, she asked again: "What is Second Aunt's attitude now? How does she feel about Zhou Huatao? Does she still support you two continuing to see each other?"
When Yang Nan heard her mention that man, she lowered her head and twirled a corner of her clothes shyly, saying, "My mother is quite satisfied with him. She said that he is the only son in the family and that marrying him would save me a lot of trouble in the future. She also said that he is a worker and that living with him would be more stable."
Ever since Zhou Huatao came, her mother has been like a possessed person, telling her all day long how good that man is, and saying that women get married for a stable life.
"What do you think?" Yang Liu asked, holding her hand.
Yang Nan looked at her hesitantly, shook her head, and looked bewildered. "You know, I've never had any ideas since I was a child. Everything was arranged for me by adults. That's why I envy you so much. In order to marry Chu Yue, you ignored the opinions of the people around you and rushed forward."
"Big sister, please explain why your affairs have brought me into this. Besides, what's the good of being in love? Don't learn from me."
Yang Nan's eyes widened in shock at the strange words that suddenly came out of her mouth. Yang Liu was afraid that she would dwell on this matter, so she quickly diverted her attention, "Let's not talk about me for now. What about you? How do you feel about Zhou Huatao?"
"Marriage is a lifelong thing. You can't just listen to others."
Her elder sister's temperament was gentle but a little timid. If she married Zhou Huatao and they had children in the future, even if she found out that he had many problems and was not a good husband, she would probably not resist for the sake of the children and family harmony, but would silently compromise and would not have the courage to escape from that wolf's den in time.
So she had to expose the man's true face in front of everyone so that she and her second aunt could see his true face in time to avoid making a mistake in the future and regretting it for the rest of their lives.
"I've met him a few times before, and I think he's quite handsome, speaks politely, and has a gentle personality. If I have to spend my life with someone like him, I can accept it."
"Big sister, you haven't gotten to the point after all this talk."
Seeing Yang Liu looking at her with an angry expression, Yang Nan became more and more puzzled, just like a monk who was completely confused.
"Big sister, if you want to marry him, the first thing you should think about shouldn't be these external conditions, but whether you like him or not? It's a modern age now, and the blind marriages of the ancient times are no longer popular. If you have no feelings for each other from the beginning, what's the point of living together in the future?"
Could it be that it was to do his laundry, cooking and having children for him?
Although two people who like each other may go their separate ways in the end after getting married, at least they have loved each other deeply and tasted the sweetness of love.
What kind of thing is it to just randomly get together just to get married like this?
When a woman looks for a man, she has to want something from him. It can be sex, money, or love. If she has no desires, then life will be boring.
Yang Nan stared at her blankly, and after a long pause, he finally asked something that made Yang Liu laugh and cry: "Then tell me what it feels like to like someone?"
Well, the eldest sister is that kind of good girl.
"When you see him, your heart beats faster and you want to show him your best side. Then, when you don't see him, you miss him and worry that he's not eating enough or sleeping warmly."
"Anyway, I can't really put it into words. It's mostly just a feeling. It's up to you to feel it."
Yang Liu had never been in love in modern times, so she could only talk about it on paper. This kind of thing can only be experienced slowly by the person involved.
How could Yang Nan know all this? She felt very awkward every time she met Zhou Huatao. They didn't say much, and there were always other people around. As for other things, she didn't feel anything at all.
She didn't think it was a big deal that she hadn't seen him for a few days.
It seems to have nothing to do with liking.
But her mother always told her that a woman should look for a man who can provide a stable and reliable life, not someone who is as irrelevant as her third uncle.
"By the way, my second aunt came over yesterday and said that Zhou Huatao is off this Saturday and he wants to invite me to go shopping in town. Do you think I should go?"
"Go, why not?" Yang Liu said with determination.
"But I'm a little scared to be alone." Yang Nan held her hand, his eyes full of anxiety.
"Is that so?" Yang Liu rubbed his chin, thought for a moment, then suddenly leaned over to her ear and whispered something. Seeing her hesitant smile, he asked, "Is this okay?"
"Why not? Big sister, just follow my instructions and I'll take care of everything else."
At that time, that person's true colors will be revealed.
When Yao Caiying came back from the fields, she saw the two sisters huddled together, talking about something mysteriously. She didn't disturb them and went straight to the kitchen to cook.
When Yang Liu was about to leave, she hurried out and called out, "Liu'er, my meal is almost ready. Come eat at my house before you go back."
"Second Aunt, no need. I still have to go back and cook for my parents. I'll be leaving first."
After Yang Liu came back, she steamed the fragrant rice with the rice she bought, then made a plate of twice-cooked pork, fried black fungus with eggs, prepared a cold dish, and made a vegetable and tofu soup.
It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
Looking at the delicious food on the table, Yang Guoqing suddenly said, "Liu'er, you cook so many delicious dishes for us every day. We've become picky eaters. I'm afraid we won't be used to eating food cooked by others in the future."
This caused Li Qiuhe to tease him, "You've had too much of a good life. You're so scared. When we were broke, you wanted to eat wild vegetable porridge every day. You weren't picky back then, but now you're always complaining."
Seeing his wife say this, Yang Guoqing quickly changed his tone and said, "Of course, I'm still used to eating the food you cook."
Li Qiuhe glared at him and snorted, "Eat it if you want."
Yang Liu was born in a single-parent family in her previous life, so she had never felt such a harmonious family atmosphere. Although her life is a bit hard now, she feels very secure. She likes this kind of family environment very much.
"Dad, it doesn't matter. As long as you want to eat it, I will make it for you in the future."
After saying that, he picked up a big portion of twice-cooked pork for each of his parents.
Chu Yue looked at his wife with anticipation, and his eyes were full of resentment, just like a dog waiting to be fed by its owner. Unable to bear his burning gaze, she had no choice but to pick up a piece of cold dish for him with chopsticks.
Chu Yue: “…”
It's over. In his wife's eyes, he is not even worthy of a bite of meat. It seems that he has a long way to go to pursue his wife.
He has to work harder.
