All the way, Li Laoda kept muttering to himself, and his only feeling was that it was noisy.
His daughter is as chattering as ten thousand sparrows; her constant chirping is unbearable.
If he reads it again, he'll dare to do it again next time.
Whether the threat worked or not, Li Laoda didn't know, but he knew that his daughter had stopped studying, dawn had broken, the air was clear, and the old lady in front of him was kind and amiable.
"Boss, you're back."
"Yes, Mother, I'm back."
My unusually kind reply vanished instantly upon seeing the ghost-like expression on Old Mrs. Li's face.
"I'm back. What can I do for you?"
The harsh tone brought Old Lady Li back to normal; she suddenly felt very uncomfortable with Old Lady Li's politeness.
【Hahaha】
[Dad, look at how awful you usually are! Even when you say something so calm, you scare people like this.]
[Is this what they call crocodile tears? No one would believe it even if I shed them.]
Whether he believed it or not, Old Li didn't care. What he was really thinking was that his daughter needed to act more normally.
This is the right way to express your true feelings.
"Cough cough"
"Boss, remember to bring back two pounds of meat when you come back tomorrow. Ai Hong is getting married tomorrow, and her in-laws will be having dinner at our house."
Listen to what Grandma Li is saying, they must have heard correctly! Li Aihong is getting married. If I remember correctly, she went to the Sun family this morning and came back this afternoon. The marriage was settled.
He looked at the small eye with his big eye, then at the sky, then at the ground, and finally at Old Lady Li, making sure he hadn't misheard.
My God, that's godlike speed!
It feels like just yesterday that Li Aihong was getting married.
I wouldn't believe it if Grandma Li hadn't said it herself.
Boss Li nodded in agreement.
"Boss, here's the money and tickets. Buy what you need, and remember to buy big pieces of fatty meat so you can render some oil."
Reluctantly handing the money to Old Lady Li, Old Lady Li knew in her heart that if she didn't give him the money, Old Lady Li would pretend he hadn't heard anything.
Thinking about the bride price, Old Lady Li was reluctant to give it, but she still gave it to her with difficulty.
[Dad, Dad, Dad, catch the money!]
Are you out of your mind? You have money but don't know how to use it.
Unconsciously, Li Laoda took the money, pretending not to hear what Li Yiyi said.
He was just thinking about who Old Lady Li would marry Li Aihong to, and what the other old bachelors in the neighborhood were.
At dinner, the first thing Li Yiyi saw was Li Aihong, whose face was symmetrically swollen on both sides.
Indeed, the ultimate aesthetic is symmetry.
[Only symmetry can showcase a person's beauty. No wonder Li Aihong looked particularly awkward this morning; it turns out half of her face was swollen.]
Now it's symmetrical, and it looks better.
Li Laoda: Girl, do you want to hear what you're saying?
"Aihong, eat more. Your mother has found you a marriage partner. After dinner tomorrow, you can go with them!"
Grandma Li placed a piece of food on Li Aihong's plate and continued,
“You’re in your second marriage, and the man your mother found for you is also in his second marriage. He has several children. You need to take good care of them after you go there. Once they’re grown up, they’ll be no different from your own children. Look at you and Sun Jiang, you’ve been married for so many years and you haven’t had a single child. I guess you can’t have any more.”
"This is a good thing. If it weren't for the fact that you can't have children, they might not even want you. Forget about Sun Jiang. He's not coming back. Just live your life with him honestly! A second marriage is a second marriage, and neither of you loses out."
[In a fairy tale, a second marriage is a second marriage for a second wife, and neither party loses out. What kind of logic is that, Old Lady Li?]
However, one thing is true: without the evidence, he might not have married Li Aihong.
Well, everyone has their own destiny, and we should respect others' destinies.
This current prosperity is exactly what Li Aihong wished for.
Before Li Laoda could even react, after he had finished listing all the old bachelors in the production team and was even starting to list those in the neighboring production team, Old Lady Li suddenly said something to him.
She's remarried. Old Mrs. Li is really something. I glanced at Old Mr. Li secretly; he probably put in a lot of effort as well.
The second and third wives observe their inner thoughts and feelings, focusing on what they don't know, don't understand, don't ask, and claim they haven't seen or heard anything.
"No, Mother, I won't marry. I want to wait until I'm the head of the household."
Upon hearing Li Aihong's words, the rare tenderness in Old Lady Li crumbled.
"Alright, alright, you can marry into his family and wait to be the head of the household."
"Mother, that's not what I meant. I don't want to get married."
"Get out of here, Li Aihong. Tell me, if you don't marry him, who will? We've already arranged a time with him. When the time comes, he comes to our door and we don't see him. Where do you want to put the face of the Li family?"
The sharp voice softened, and Old Lady Li began to speak using the rhetoric Old Man Li had taught her.
“Aihong, you’re not marrying for yourself, you’re marrying for the honor of our Li family. Think about it, after you marry into the family, you will be a great contributor to our Li family. Your parents will be grateful to you, and your eldest, second, third, and fourth brothers will all be grateful to you. It is you, Li Aihong, who have preserved the honor of our Li family.”
Finally, she shouted it out loud, leaving Li Aihong feeling dizzy and disoriented.
Yes, she's not marrying for herself, but for the sake of the Li family's reputation. Once she marries, she'll be a great contributor to the Li family.
As if brainwashed, Li Aihong nodded solemnly.
"Father, Mother, I'll marry him."
Old Man Li and Old Woman Li exchanged a glance, satisfied.
Li Aihong is truly a contradictory person. When she's morally blackmailing others, she's incredibly shrewd; but after being praised a couple of times, she loses all sense of direction.
[Besides being a false saint, she also harbors a vain heart.]
