Zhen Wanwan and Qu Huaiyuan's intimate interaction was witnessed by Zhou Ersao in the car.
The two stood together, similar in height and age, and looked very well-matched.
People who don't know them might mistake them for a couple who have only been married for a few years.
Old Mrs. Li also secretly lamented that if her daughter hadn't had that incident, she might have been able to marry Mr. Qu.
What a beautiful and harmonious couple they are!
Over this period of time, Old Lady Li has become very satisfied with Qu Huaiyuan.
He is refined and polite, courteous to everyone, handsome, and most importantly, a scholar!
The family is just a bit poor.
But she didn't care, as long as the person was good.
Thinking about this, Old Lady Li's mind began to stir.
Since someone was willing to drive, Zhen Wanwan didn't try to be a hero; she knew her own limitations.
People who are afraid to even ride an electric scooter on the road will feel terrified when faced with a live horse.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Qu."
"It's no trouble at all."
Zhen Wanwan got back into the carriage, and what she saw was the ambiguous smiles on the faces of Old Lady Li and Sister-in-law Zhou.
She didn't think too much about it, only assuming it was about the embarrassing things that might happen to her while riding a horse.
The carriage moved slowly in response to Qu Huaiyuan's movements, closely following behind Zhen Fugui's carriage.
Because Zhen Fuyou and Zhou Dashan had not returned for a long time, no one was in the mood to joke around anymore.
The only sound in the spacious wilderness was the crunching of horse-drawn carriages over the weeds.
As evening approached and the weather cooled down considerably, Zhen Wanwan opened the car window.
Just then, Guaibao and Tianbao woke up as well.
"Phew! I've finally woken up after sleeping for two hours."
Grandma Li checked whether Guabao and Tianbao's diapers were wet.
Fortunately, the baby's was still relatively dry, so I only changed the baby's.
Seeing this, Zhou Ersao, who was holding her baby, asked with a curious look.
"This thing is really convenient!"
As Grandma Li turned Tianbao over, she replied, "Sigh! It was Wanwan who caused all this trouble."
"You know what, these diapers are really great! I don't have to get up to change their diapers at night anymore."
Seemingly recalling her own experiences raising children, Grandma Li sighed.
"Unlike when I was taking care of my youngest child, one night I forgot to get up to change his diaper, and the next day his bottom was all red!"
"But it was just the beginning of autumn, and the child caught a cold..."
The more Old Lady Li talked, the more distressed she became, thinking of Zhen Laosan, whose fate was unknown.
She secretly turned her head and wiped away a tear.
Zhou Ersao had also heard about the news of Zhen's third son, so she knew perfectly well that Old Lady Li missed her son.
She quickly changed the subject: "It's really good! I didn't expect Wan to be so skillful."
Aunt Zhou took a diaper in her hand and looked at it again and again, and then she liked it.
"Why does it feel so light? Is it filled with cotton?"
Zhen Wanwan was making milk for Guabao and Tianbao by the moonlight when she heard Zhou Ersao's question.
He chuckled and replied, "I guess so! I also added some absorbent materials."
"Is this very expensive?"
Zhen Wanwan shook her head: "Making them yourself isn't expensive, but they can't be reused after use."
Zhou Ersao clicked her tongue inwardly, thinking to herself, "Isn't this just throwing money away?"
Regardless of what she was thinking, she still smiled and said, "Wanwan is so clever. I wonder who she'll end up with."
Zhen Wanwan frowned slightly, then lightly reaffirmed her stance against marriage.
"From now on, I'll just take care of my baby and my sweet baby and watch them grow up. I don't have any other plans."
Grandma Li sat beside her, opened her mouth, but didn't say anything.
Zhou Ersao was somewhat surprised: "You're so young, how can you say such things? It would be good to have someone accompany you."
"Two children can't be without a father."
She couldn't help but glance at the twins. They were from the same village as Zhen's family, so of course they knew how these two children came to be.
Although the Zhen family tells others that Zhen Wanwan's husband was killed by the barbarians.
But this explanation is just a fig leaf for the Zhen family.
She didn't look at Zhen Wanwan with any strange eyes.
Since ancient times, it has been believed that men should marry when they are of age and women should marry when they are of age.
Zhen Wanwan is still an unmarried girl, so how can she stay single for life?
Zhen Wanwan neither confirmed nor denied Zhou Ersao's statement.
"What are the benefits of getting married? You're busy raising children and taking care of your parents, and you don't even get the appreciation you deserve."
Zhou Ersao disagreed, saying, "That's how a girl should be. She has to do chores at her parents' home, and when she goes to her husband's home, she has to serve the whole family."
Zhen Wanwan took the child back from Zhou Ersao's arms.
"Life is short, and my parents raised me. Why should I go and work like a slave for someone else?"
She glanced at Zhou Ersao and continued, "Marriage is not only about procreation, but also about mutual affection."
"I'd like to ask you, sister-in-law, if a man marries to help him take care of his parents and have children, what does a woman hope to gain from marriage?"
This question left the two people in the car completely bewildered.
Zhou Ersao said hesitantly, "If we don't get married, who will take care of you when you're old? Who will see you off in your old age?"
Grandma Li was initially pleased with Zhou Ersao's urging her to get married, as she also wanted her daughter to find a husband to rely on in the future.
But my daughter still wouldn't listen to reason.
Not wanting to disappoint her daughter, she chimed in.
"We'll talk about marriage later. If Wanwan can't find a good one, then Huzi and her nephews will take care of her in her old age."
"Aaaaaahhhhhh..." I thought I was taking care of my mother in her old age! Taking care of my mother until her death!
The baby suddenly started crying in Zhen Wanwan's arms, attracting the attention of everyone in the carriage.
Zhen Wanwan smiled and couldn't resist giving his chubby little face a kiss.
"I have my darling and sweet baby now, why would I worry about who will take care of me in my old age?"
Seeing her like this, Zhou Er's sister-in-law didn't know how to offer much advice.
“Retirement is no problem, but you are still young. Not to mention for the sake of the children, an ordinary young woman needs someone to love and care for her.”
Zhen Wanwan had long lost interest in love. What was so good about men? Not only did she have to serve them, but she also had to guard against mistresses.
Besides, having multiple wives and concubines was normal in ancient times, and she had no interest in palace intrigue!
All she wants is to get rich quick! And then lie down and relax!
Grandma Li echoed Zhou Ersao's words, "If you don't want to get married, we'll find a son-in-law to come and live with us!"
Seemingly afraid that Zhen Wanwan would object, Old Lady Li added, "With your father and me around, no one can bully you!"
Hearing this, Zhou Ersao was somewhat shocked, although she knew that Zhen's family loved Zhen Wanwan.
But unexpectedly, even though they had a son, they still wanted to find a son-in-law to come to their home because they couldn't bear to see their daughter get married.
Thinking of Qu Huaiyuan, who was helping them catch the carriage, Zhou Ersao tentatively asked.
"Where would a promising man like that be willing to become a live-in son-in-law, especially a literate scholar..."
