Wen Shu thought about it. She shouldn't have any deeper grudges with Aunt Zhang, so why was Aunt Zhang always like this? She really couldn't understand the cause and effect.
Seeing Wen Shu turn around, Li Duo couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
It was rare for Wen Shu to be willing to go out with him, and Li Duo felt that this was the best opportunity for him to communicate and exchange ideas with Wen Shu, fearing that someone might ruin it.
The old lady next door, Aunt Zhang, keeps trying to introduce her daughter, Nail, to him. Li Duo gets a headache just looking at Aunt Zhang now, worried that Wen Shu will bring up the old story again and start mocking him.
Wen Shu whispered, "Aunt Zhang has been acting really strange lately."
Li Duo asked curiously, "What's strange?"
He looked at Aunt Zhang and saw that she hadn't changed at all; she seemed to be the same as before.
Wen Shu didn't know how to describe Aunt Zhang's change, she just said, "Aunt Zhang's attitude has become particularly good recently, and she doesn't seem to have as much hostility towards our family anymore."
Li Duo immediately said, "You and Grandma are both kind people, and Rou Rou is so cute. Why would he be hostile to you for no reason? Perhaps something happened one day that changed her previous misunderstanding of you."
Wen Shu responded, thinking that was a possibility, but what did Aunt Zhang want to do by following them?
Someone walked around outside the neighborhood, and the topic naturally revolved around succulents.
Li Duo knew that if he talked to Wen Shu about other things, she might not pay attention to him, so he kept focusing on the issue of Rou Rou's custody.
Wen Shu discovered that for as long as she and Li Duo had been gone, Aunt Zhang had followed them.
Wen Shu was completely baffled. What exactly did Aunt Zhang mean?
So when they got back, Wen Shu finally caught up with Aunt Zhang: "Really? You're out for a walk so late? How come we keep running into you everywhere? Are you scared walking at night? There are people everywhere at night, you don't need to be so worried, do you?"
Aunt Zhang said awkwardly, "I went out for a walk and happened to run into you. I thought your walking route was quite nice and relaxing, so I walked it too. I hope I didn't bother you?"
Wen Shu frowned. She didn't even want to talk to Aunt Wen anymore. Did she think her words were bothering her?
Aunt Zhang glanced at Li Duo, then suddenly said to Wen Shu, "Wen Shu, in the future, when you go out with people, don't choose to go at night, especially when you go out with young men."
Wen Shu was taken aback and before she could speak, Aunt Zhang continued, "It's not safe at night. Some boys look decent enough, but they're actually just thinking about prostitution. They have no good intentions whatsoever."
“Although your grandmother always says you are independent, you still need to be a little cautious sometimes. No matter how independent you are, there is still a big difference in physical strength between men and women. I saw you were choosing to walk in that dark place just now. Dark places are the easiest to go because there are no people around. Those bad guys will target young girls!”
At this moment, Wen Shu understood what Aunt Zhang meant. Aunt Zhang was concerned about her.
Did you think it was unsafe for her to be out with Li Duo so late at night?
So Aunt Zhang wasn't following him and Li Duo to eavesdrop or do anything bad; she was just worried about her safety and wanted to protect her.
Wen Shu was a little stunned. When did Aunt Zhang become so nice? In the past, Aunt Zhang might have already bought a house in the neighborhood and spread the word that she was out with some random man so late at night and doing something naughty.
How can Aunt Zhang change her personality?
Wen Shu felt like she could hardly believe that the old lady in front of her was really numb.
Aunt Zhang clearly knew what kind of person she had been before, and even more so, what kind of attitude she had towards Wen Shu.
She said awkwardly, "I...I didn't mean to meddle. Your grandma is old, and I'm your neighbor. I just saw it and reminded you. I didn't mean anything by it. It's so late, go home and rest."
After saying this, Aunt Zhang fled into her own yard in a very disheveled state and quickly closed the gate.
Wen Shu stood there, scratching her head. It seemed she had been judging others by her own petty standards.
Aunt Zhang did this because she cared about her. Although she couldn't understand why Aunt Zhang had suddenly changed her ways, there was no doubt that Aunt Zhang had indeed changed!
Li Duo was also somewhat surprised. In the past, every time this old lady saw him, she would try to sell him her daughter and desperately wanted his contact information. Why did she not rush up to him today but instead treat him like a bad guy?
Is the old lady using a new tactic to sow discord between him and Wen Shu, making it easier for her to promote her daughter?
Wen Shu glanced back at Li Duo. "Then let's settle this for now. It's getting late, you should head home. Rou Rou is already asleep, otherwise I could have asked him to come out and check on you."
Li Duo nodded, understanding that Wen Shu's gentleness was temporary. At this time, Wen Shu was going against the Li family, and in order to protect Rou Rou, she would not break ties with him at this moment.
Therefore, Li Duo must take advantage of the time before the court hearing to build good relationships with Wen Shu, his grandmother, and Rou Rou. If he misses this opportunity, he may never have another chance.
"Okay, then I'll go back. As for Longyin, I understand what you mean. I know you only acted with him to protect Rou Rou. I know what I'm doing and I'll make him cooperate."
"Moreover, Third Grandma called Li Yuanqing and my father over that night. I guess they probably know about the relationship between Third Grandma and my maternal grandmother now. If that's the case, things might take a turn for the better."
"Third Grandma has a lot of authority at home, and Father listens to her. If... I mean, if Third Grandma can persuade Father to agree to let me marry you and bring Rou Rou and you home in the best possible condition, would you be willing to give it a try with me?"
Wen Shu was stunned for a moment. What did he mean by that?
If we're talking about sacrificing personal happiness, marrying Li Duo would be the ideal scenario for Rou Rou. That's what she had planned to do before, for Rou Rou's sake.
However, Li Yuanqing's sudden appearance shattered her and her grandmother's plans, forcing her to find another way.
Now Li Duo has brought up his old idea again.
Wen Shu also harbored a hint of anticipation. If Third Grandma Li could truly persuade the Li family for the sake of her relationship with her maternal grandmother, she would probably agree.
Wen Shu looked up at Li Duo and said, "If Third Grandma can really persuade your family, I'm willing to do it for Rou Rou!"
Li Duo opened his mouth: "I'm willing too. I hope this is the best ending. I hope people can see Rou Rou every day. I also hope Rou Rou can be happy to have you, and you can be happy to have him. And I can have both of you."
"If this is not the ending we envisioned, then I will definitely strive to make every ending this way."
