After seeing Qinghuan off, Gu Tingzhou took his family to the old house to celebrate the festival.
Li Qingyun brought a pound of fat meat, a pig's ear, and some side dishes.
I sent a basket of bean buns as a holiday gift yesterday, so this is enough for today.
Gu Tingzhou brought Erbao to the main hall to chat with Gu's father and Gu's elder brother. It was a rare holiday, and the family got together without having to work.
Mother Gu and her two daughters-in-law were cooking and chatting in the kitchen.
"Second brother, why don't you bring your eldest sister over? It's a holiday today, how can you let her stay home alone?
When the meal is almost ready, go and bring her over."
Although Gu's mother didn't like Qinghuan staying in her eldest son's house because it would cause gossip, she was a soft-hearted person after all. Although her words were unpleasant, she had good intentions.
Li Qingyun told the story of Qinghuan being taken away by Li's father and mother, but omitted some details.
Qinghuan left, and Gu's mother breathed a sigh of relief when she heard it. It wasn't that she was cold-blooded, but it was impossible for her to keep her divorced sister-in-law at home for the rest of her life.
Now those gossipy women in the village can keep quiet.
When Mrs. Gu heard that Qinghuan had been taken away by her family, she didn't know what to feel.
She used to think that she was better than Li Zhaodi in every way, but now she sees that as a joke. Li Zhaodi's parents can come and pick up their divorced daughter in person, but her parents just treat her as an unlucky thing and drive her out.
She always remembered the relieved expressions on her parents' faces when she returned from her mother's house that morning.
She did not go back to her parents' home for the holiday this time. Like Li Qingyun, she asked someone to take the holiday gift back, which consisted of only half a basket of homemade steamed buns.
In the past, every time there was a festival, she would carefully select some gifts that the family needed and take care of everyone. Now thinking about it, it was so stupid.
From now on, she doesn't want to have any illusions about others anymore. She just wants to live her life well behind closed doors. Only when she lives a good life will others not dare to look down on her.
This Mid-Autumn Festival, the family had a rare warm and comfortable reunion dinner. No one made trouble and no one had bad luck.
Li Qingyun was in a bad mood and forced herself to finish her meal.
When she returned home in the evening, sister-in-law Qiuju came to ask her what happened today.
Listen to her talk about her helplessness.
Sister Qiu Ju asked with some confusion, "Why don't you help her find a good family? Isn't that better than being tortured by them at home?"
Li Qingyun was a little slow to react.
The main reason was that her concept was still stuck in the later times. She believed that women could stand up on their own, so she never thought about Qinghuan remarrying.
But on second thought, why not?
Qinghuan is so young, should she be left alone to live out her life in loneliness?
So what if she gets married for the second time? Doesn’t a divorced woman deserve to have her own life?
Having met a scumbag doesn’t mean that all men are scumbags. As long as you choose a man with good character, even if there is no love, you can live together well, which is much better than the current situation.
Nowadays, most people get married blindly. They get married after only meeting each other once or twice, but can’t they still live a happy life?
If nothing else, isn't she now equivalent to someone else's second-married stepmother? She only has the face of the original wife, but in reality she is still a stepmother. There is nothing to be embarrassed about.
Although she did not choose this stepmother herself, and she was inexplicably angry when she woke up one day and found herself a married woman with children, she also actively changed her life and circumstances, and she had a clear conscience towards her children.
In this era, it is not easy for everyone. Being able to live a good life is the greatest happiness.
Thinking of this, she asked: "Sister-in-law, I haven't thought about this before, but what you said makes sense. No matter how good I am to her, it is not as good as having a comfortable home of my own.
As for me... you know, I don't know anyone, and I don't know where to look for a while."
Sister Qiuju smiled awkwardly and said a little embarrassedly: "I had an idea before, but I thought I would mention it to you after a while, when the hype has died down. I didn't expect Sister Qinghuan to leave so soon."
"What's your idea? Tell me quickly."
"There is a cousin from the next room in my mother's family. His family used to be hunters. His father encountered a blind bear while hunting in his early years and died early. He was less than ten years old that year, and his mother raised him alone.
Fortunately, he also learned some hunting skills and had some skills. Although private hunting was not allowed, the harvest from hunting for the village every year was enough to cover the expenses of the mother and son. He was able to work hard and earn a lot of work points.
Life was originally good at home, but when he was 20 years old, his mother suddenly fell ill. Not only did the family savings go through, but they also owed a lot of debt. He had to take care of his sick mother and earn money at the same time, which was also very hard.
Later, when he finally paid off his debts, his mother asked him to get married, but he insisted that he had to earn money to treat his mother's illness. He was afraid that if he got married, others would be unhappy and would delay them again.
A few years ago, he was introduced to a girl from the next village who had many sisters. Three months after the marriage, the girl ran away with the remaining money and food in the family, and has not been found yet.
Since then, he refused to have his photo taken and focused on taking care of his mother. At the beginning of this year, his mother could no longer hold on and passed away.
I went back to my parents' home before the festival, and my mother told me that a widow in the village wanted to marry him with her two children, but he refused her, so she started to spread bad things about him everywhere.
My mother also asked me to introduce a suitable girl to him if there was one. Suddenly, I thought of Qinghuan.
I think they are both good people, hardworking and good at managing their households, but they just met the wrong people, so I am asking you for help."
