Li Cuihu didn't hear her clearly. She picked at her ear and asked, "What are you muttering about?"
Li Da stood up and said, "I didn't say anything. I'll go help Mom with the work."
He won't tell anyone what he saw today, otherwise wouldn't that woman named Yingzi have wasted all her time?
Although his sister isn't a big mouth, he won't talk about it either.
Unexpectedly, they stopped talking about it, but when they got to the kitchen, Aunt Li started talking about it.
"Poor thing! She married the wrong person, and now she has no one from her family. She's been bullied to death!"
Fortunately, the Xiao family took them in; otherwise, how would this orphan and widow survive?
Today, when she heard the commotion, she went to help call Grandpa Bai and Grandpa Kang. She also went to the police station to report the incident to the police.
"That girl is beautiful, has impeccable character, and is efficient at her work. She's a real talent!"
How could I have run into such a scumbag!
"Over the years, many people in the residential compound have tried to arrange marriages for her, but she has refused them all. I guess she's been bitten by a snake once and is now afraid of ropes for ten years; she has a psychological shadow on her!"
"You heartless scumbag!"
She had actually considered having Xiao Ying as her daughter-in-law; she genuinely liked that girl from the bottom of her heart.
It's a pity, she didn't want to get married again, so she gave up on the idea.
Li Da learned about Xiao Ying's situation from Aunt Li's intermittent murmurs.
She was indeed pitiful, but he admired her for being able to defy fate and bravely save herself.
Although Dr. Bai was not home, he didn't have much time off, so he still brought gifts to visit the next day.
Grandma happily invited him in to sit down.
Just then, Xiao Ying heard the noise in the kitchen and knew that guests had arrived, so she brewed some tea and brought it out to entertain them.
As soon as I entered, I saw the soldier I had met just yesterday.
She quickly smiled and handed him tea.
"It's you? Comrade soldier! What a coincidence! Yesterday was a special day, so it wasn't convenient for me to thank you. Please don't mind! Stay for a meal later!"
Grandma asked suspiciously, "Yingzi, have you met her before?"
"Grandma, he's the soldier I told you about, the one who almost... cough, saved me yesterday!"
That was close! I almost slurred it out!
Li Da looked at her with amusement, knowing that what she almost said was that she was annoyed that he had almost ruined her plans yesterday.
He wasn't angry; he took the tea and drank it.
"You're welcome, I didn't really help you much."
Grandma suppressed a laugh; what a coincidence! Just yesterday, Xiao Ying was complaining about the other person.
They came to our door today.
"Hahaha, Yingzi, he's Aunt Li's son, the officer in the Northwest!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ying felt inexplicably embarrassed. Whether it was because someone had witnessed what happened yesterday, or because Aunt Li had once intended for her to be her daughter-in-law, she felt somewhat at a loss.
She glanced at Li Da, and he did indeed look as Aunt Li had described: thick eyebrows, big eyes, and broad shoulders... Thinking of this, her face flushed, and she quickly lowered her head, afraid of being seen.
"Um, well, Grandma, Comrade Li, please have a seat, I'll go make dinner..."
Watching her flee in disarray, Li Da felt both amused and helpless.
Is he that scary-looking? Or did his mother say something again? His mother, Ms. Li Dahua, is so desperate for a daughter-in-law that she starts asking around about any woman she finds attractive...
Grandma looked back and forth between the two of them, her gaze becoming increasingly thoughtful.
Old Li often said that if Yingzi could become his daughter-in-law, he could die in peace. He had said this countless times.
Yingzi really likes them; looking at them now, she feels the two are indeed a good match.
I just don't know if it will work out, since both of them have had unhappy marriages that left them with trauma...
