"Father, Mother, doesn't this old woman Zhu look like the blind matchmaker from the legends?"
They praise everything to the skies, but when you see the real person, nothing about them matches.
What's gotten into me lately? I keep running into bad luck with marriage proposals.
Li Laoda and Jiang Yuting's faces were icy cold, but they softened considerably after hearing their daughter's words.
But when it came to Old Lady Zhu, they weren't so friendly.
“Aunt Zhu, calling you ‘aunt’ is a courtesy, not an invitation for you to come to our house and boss us around. What your grand-nephew does has nothing to do with our family, and what my daughter does has even less to do with you.”
"Still trying to climb the social ladder? Who's climbing the social ladder is still up in the air. I, Boss Li, am making this clear: my daughter's marriage is none of your business, and you have no right to interfere or criticize. If there's a next time, I'll break your son's legs."
Old Master Li's words showed no consideration for Old Lady Zhu whatsoever.
I used to give them some face, since we'd run into each other often, but things have come to this point. Giving them face will only make them take advantage of us.
"Li family member, you...you've gone too far..."
"roll."
After the sound, Old Mrs. Zhu was stunned.
Normally, neither Li Laoda nor Jiang Yuting had ever looked displeased; both of them seemed quite polite. It was only after receiving the news that Old Lady Zhu dared to come and propose marriage.
As for what Li Laoda and Jiang Yuting had initially said about finding a husband for Li Yiyi, she didn't take it to heart at all.
Sons are so precious; what family would let their son marry into their family?
That's why I spoke about it so confidently, but I didn't expect to be yelled at.
"What the hell?"
He said something to Old Lady Zhu, and in front of her, Li Laoda personally closed the door.
Want to eat his family's last remaining offspring? No way.
So what if they only have one daughter? It's better to raise one who will take charge than some unfilial children.
So what if you have many children? What good is it if they are unfilial?
Old Man Li and Old Woman Li have many children, but does that help? They're all ungrateful wretches.
"father."
"Father, don't be angry, I'll avenge you."
[This is absolutely disgusting; how can people have such filthy minds?]
During the conversation, Li Yi casually passed some small gifts to the person next door.
The more Li Yiyi understood this world, the less she used powers that didn't belong to it. This had been true since Li Fuyi's family left.
The Zhu family was the first to make her take action. That might sound arrogant, but it's the truth.
“Daughter, it’s alright. Come on, let me tell you something.”
Feeling disgusted, Li Yiyi, the eldest brother, wouldn't get angry over something unrelated.
Instead of getting angry, we should learn from this experience. Li Laoda was the one who wanted to explain Zhu Kou's marriage to Li Yiyi. How do you judge someone like that?
Be more shrewd and discerning, and stay away from people like that in the future.
Old Mrs. Zhu, locked out, was livid with rage, her face contorted even more so than when Xu Fang left.
She had heard through the grapevine that Li Yiyi was Li Jiafu's cousin. If Li Jiafu was so dedicated, how could Li Yiyi be any less so?
Upon receiving the news, she would have spoken up immediately, had it not been for Zhu Kou's wedding that had been arranged beforehand.
As Old Mrs. Zhu had anticipated, Li Laoda and Jiang Yuting shouldn't have been overjoyed that someone wanted to marry Li Yiyi; why would they refuse?
Could it be about that home visit?
As she walked home, Old Mrs. Zhu decided to think it over carefully; she was determined to win over Li Yiyi, this only daughter living alone.
So what if she suffers a little injustice? Li Yiyi has endless benefits behind her.
Take the house for example, it's even bigger than their home, not to mention that Boss Li also has a job at the meat processing plant.
At the same time, an old man, hunched over, hurried along the street, carrying a familiar bowl in his hand.
It was Old Man Li. After hesitating for several days, Old Man Li finally picked up the broken bowl and went to a crowded place.
Begging isn't easy. If you can't even feed yourself, how can you have the time to help others? Occasionally, you might get some crumbs or scraps.
The money I imagined never came.
On the first day, Old Man Li could still tell his family that he didn't know the market.
The next day, seeing that he wasn't pitiful enough, Old Man Li deliberately made himself look disheveled.
On the third day, still nothing was gained.
On the fourth day, Old Man Li was disappointed. It seemed that begging was not a suitable path for him. He picked up his bowl and left.
He couldn't wait any longer. He returned to the production team, looked at the narrow courtyard, and then glanced at the wall separating the two households.
Old Li returned to his room, feeling miserable. How could he have let his life turn out like this?
As he entered the house, Old Li glanced around and seemed to see something. There was a protruding stone on the side of the cabinet, as if there was something inside.
Suppressing his excitement, Old Man Li locked the door from the inside, rubbed his hands together, and nervously walked forward.
The protruding stone was easily removed, revealing a piece of cloth inside.
Cloth equals money.
Old Li's eyes lit up. It came so easily; even Heaven couldn't bear to see him suffer.
Lifting the cloth, there was a few coins scattered inside, one yuan and fifty-two cents.
It wasn't much, but for Old Man Li at that moment, it was a godsend. He finally had money, could contact Li Laosan, and start enjoying his retirement.
In his excitement, Old Man Li didn't bother to think about who had hidden the money; he grabbed it and headed towards town.
Life returned to normal after that day.
Li Yiyi goes to school every day, Li Laoda goes to work every day, and Jiang Yuting goes out to visit her parents from time to time.
As for the Zhu family next door, they've been extremely busy lately.
