Chapter 102: Probably the man has feelings and the woman has intentions
She suddenly remembered that just now outside the yard, she first bumped into Qiao Yishi's back, and then scratched Qiao Yishi without distinguishing friend from foe.
Konjac felt his face burning.
Cui Qingyi saw her change and had already made up her mind. Although Hua Pozi was presumptuous, she was right in what she said: men should marry when they are old enough, and women should marry when they are old enough.
Konjac was already 20 years old, and in this day and age, most people would already have one or two children. Cui Qingyi didn't mean to force Konjac to marry, but her situation was different. If Konjac was willing, she could definitely find a good family now.
They were living a good life now and had a good family background. She didn't want Konjac to marry too far away. If the two families lived across from each other like the Qiao family, she would be the first to know about anything that happened to Konjac.
Although she didn't have any special skills, she was still able to take care of a konjac.
Whenever she thought of this, Cui Qingyi felt like she was looking for a husband for her daughter. She thought about every aspect, but always felt that there was something she had not considered.
Konjac was a little shy, a rare sight, but she didn't think much about it and just told the truth, "Auntie Qiao and Qiao Yishi are both very nice people."
Cui Qingyi smiled and said directly what she was thinking. There was no need to beat around the bush between her and Konjac.
"You're old enough to think about marriage. What do you think of Qiao Yishi?"
Konjac was stunned at first, then her cheeks flushed red. The little girl's demeanor seemed different from the person who had just been killing everyone outside the door.
Even when talking about her lifelong event to the girl she grew up with, Konjac felt a little embarrassed. She stamped her feet and said, "Girl, why are you suddenly saying this?"
Cui Qingyi smiled and patted her hands, pulling her to sit in front of her. "What's there to be embarrassed about? You're twenty years old, which is just the right age to get married."
Konjac was about to say something anxiously, but Cui Qingyi raised her hand to stop her. She sighed and continued, "You are different from me. Back then, I didn't have the final say on my marriage. Without a good start, I had no say on how it would turn out.
But now we are free. If you get married, we can slowly pick someone you like and he will like you too.
If the Qiao family doesn’t work, there are still the Li and Chen families. There is always one that suits you.
When the time comes, I will give you a generous dowry, so that you can enter the house with your back held high and be the head of the family. As long as you put in some effort, you can live a prosperous life."
Cui Qingyi would not think that all men in this world are bad because of her own experience, and would not prevent her from getting married under the guise of doing good for Konjac. Just like she came from another world and never thought of using her own ideas to change and influence anyone.
Each era has its own survival rules, and most of the time, it is a good choice for ordinary people to adapt to the times.
Cui Qingyi said so much, and Konjac's eyes were red, but he still shook his head stubbornly, "No, I don't want to get married yet, I just want to stay with you and never go anywhere."
Cui Qingyi felt relieved to hear her say that. There was no rush to finalize Konjac's marriage anyway. Although she thought the Qiao family was a good family, they had only known each other for a short time and she still had to wait and see about the Qiao family's situation.
"Okay, then let's observe the young man on the other side. If he's not suitable, we'll replace him as soon as possible."
Konjac was completely enraged. She had clearly said that she didn't want to get married, so why did the girl bring up Qiao Yishi across the street?
Opposite Qiao's
When the mother and son returned home, Qiao's mother discovered that Qiao Yishi was wearing a wet vest.
She reached out and slapped Qiao Yishi's arm twice. "Hurry up and take off your wet clothes. You'll catch a cold if you do."
As she spoke, Qiao's mother reached out to help Qiao Yishi take off the dress. Qiao Yishi quickly held the hem of the dress, yelling, "Hey, hey, hey, Mom, I can do it myself. I'm already a grown-up, please be careful."
Mother Qiao was so angry that she almost laughed. She stretched out her hand and twisted Qiao Yishi's arm. The ungrateful guy thought she was willing to serve such a grown-up son.
Qiao's mother turned and left. Qiao Yishi returned to his room, took off his wet clothes, and touched his lower back for some unknown reason.
Then he hissed softly. The little girl's nails were very sharp, and his thick skin was startled.
Qiao Yishi didn't know what was wrong with him. He just felt strange and uncomfortable in his heart, but he couldn't explain it. After changing into clean clothes, he sat in the room for a long time before getting up and leaving.
Although Cui Qingyi never mentioned her getting married again after that day, Konjac always felt a little unnatural when she saw the gate of the Qiao family. This unnatural feeling suddenly reached a new level after she met Qiao Yishi going out.
Qiao Yishi had to go out to build houses for others. When he couldn't stay at home and was not escorting the goods, he would find some work in the town and earn day's wages.
When he looked up and saw the pretty girl when he went out, Qiao Yishi's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. Then he didn't know what he was thinking, he raised his hand and touched his lower back.
Konjac was originally debating whether to say hello, but when he saw the man's actions, his face turned red.
She had a round face with a blessed countenance, and she had taken good care of herself this year, making her already youthful face even more beautiful. Qiao Yishi took one look and lowered his head, wishing he could chop off his own nosy claws.
"Brother Qiao is going out to work?"
Qiao Yishi: "Ah, well, that's right, go work. I'm just sitting around doing nothing anyway."
After a meaningless conversation, the two of them separated. Konjac forgot what he had just done when he went out, and opened the door and returned to the yard.
Qiao Yishi took a few steps unsteadily before he regained his rhythm and quickly disappeared at the entrance of the alley.
Konjac covered her chest and took a long breath. Her face was still flushed when she looked up and saw her own girl smiling at her with ill intentions.
Konjac...She is so embarrassed today.
After that day, Qiao Yishi always subconsciously observed the situation of the Cui family. He felt embarrassed and wondered what he should say if he met Miss Konjac.
But for several days in a row, the door of the Cui family's house, where he went out early and came back late every day, was closed.
Mother Qiao tapped Qiao Yishi's hand with her chopsticks and asked curiously, "What are you thinking about? You look so absent-minded."
Brother Qiao, who was sitting on the other side, glanced at his younger brother and drank a mouthful of porridge, saying quietly, "The second brother is not young anymore. It's time for him to find a girl to marry."
Brother Qiao is not my mother. He has been working outside longer and has seen more things. Just by looking at the house opposite before going out every day, he could guess what was going on.
Qiao Yishi was exposed by his eldest brother. He blushed and hurriedly explained, "I, I'm not in a hurry. My eldest brother hasn't gotten married yet."
As soon as he said this, the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became cold.
