Chapter 250 Child Marriage
"Aunt Liu, Sister-in-law Li, you are here? Come in and sit down." Li Wanqing was staring at Orange in the living room while preparing fruit snacks.
Seeing Mrs. Liu and Li Yaren's wife come in together, he hurried over to greet them.
"Wanqing, congratulations, congratulations on the birth of your daughter." Mrs. Liu said first with a smile.
"Congratulations to Wanqing on having a son and a daughter. She is so blessed. Look at the little girl, she is so fair and beautiful." Li Yaren's wife also congratulated.
"Thank you all for coming. Come in quickly. Orange, go pour the tea." Li Wanqing responded with a smile.
"These are some things prepared for the children. Wanqing, please don't dislike them." Mrs. Liu, the shopkeeper, gestured to her daughter-in-law behind her to hand over the things.
"Oh, auntie, you are too polite. It's enough for people to come. Why spend so much money?" Li Wanqing took it.
"Well, I haven't prepared anything. Just consider it as a gift for the child." Shopkeeper Liu's wife said politely.
"This is my gift. It's my first time meeting my niece, so I can't come empty-handed, right?" Li Yaren's wife also said.
"These are two sets of clothes I made for the children. Wanqing, please don't dislike them." Shopkeeper Liu's eldest daughter-in-law took out a small cloth bag.
"Thank you, Mrs. Liu. Oh, your needlework is really good. I can't do such delicate work."
"These are the shoes I made for my child. I made them a little bigger on purpose so that my child can wear them when he is learning to walk." Shopkeeper Liu's second daughter-in-law also took out two pairs of small shoes.
"Mrs. Liu is so skillful, these little shoes are so beautiful.
The soles are also soft, so children will definitely feel comfortable wearing them.
Thank you, aunts and sisters-in-law, for your thoughtfulness." Li Wanqing smiled and let Orange take the gift away.
"Where is today's little hero? Bring him out quickly and let us see him." said the second daughter-in-law of Manager Liu.
Li Wanqing went to the inner room and personally carried the child out.
"Come, let me take a look at Xiaoguai. Oh, this child is so beautiful, with a pink and white face and delicate eyebrows and eyes.
She will be amazing when she grows up, she will definitely be a great beauty.
In the future, who knows which brat will get the advantage. "Among the few people, Shopkeeper Liu's wife was the oldest, and she was holding the child in her arms.
"Wanqing and Gu Yan are not ugly, so their child will definitely be beautiful."
"Yes, if both parents are good-looking, their child will surely be good-looking too."
Several of them are mothers and have children, so they have a lot of common topics to talk about their children.
Aunt Qiu prepared the lunch banquet with oranges. For this full moon banquet, Gu Yan went into the mountains again.
We shot a sika deer and today's main dish is grilled venison.
The thinly sliced venison was placed on an iron grid, with a charcoal fire burning underneath.
The fat from the half-roasted meat dripped down and fell on the charcoal fire with a "crackling" sound, and a small spark flashed.
The atmosphere was just right as they chatted and laughed. The eldest daughter-in-law of Shopkeeper Liu said with a smile, "I think this little girl is a good match. My youngest son is three years old this year.
She's about the same age as the little girl, so why not arrange a marriage for them?"
Manager Liu's eldest daughter-in-law really likes the little girl. Besides, Li Wanqing's family is well-off and she seems to love girls.
My youngest son will definitely not get any share of the family property, after all, there is an older son.
If the girl from Li Wanqing's family could be arranged for the younger son, it would not only bring the two families closer together, but also provide a safe future for the younger son.
Manager Liu's eldest daughter-in-law also had her own plans.
Li Wanqing was stunned by what she said, but she quickly reacted: "Oh, Mrs. Liu, you're joking. The child is still young. It's too early to talk about this now."
"What do you mean early? Not at all. The two of them grew up together, so their relationship will be even better in the future." Mrs. Liu said.
"I think it's okay. I like Xiao Gu and you very much. I believe that the daughter you raise will be good." Mrs. Liu, the shopkeeper's wife, also echoed.
Li Wanqing smiled and said,
"Children have their own destiny, and we as parents can't force it."
When Mrs. Liu, the shopkeeper, saw that Li Wanqing had said this, she didn't say anything else.
Manager Liu's eldest daughter-in-law probably wanted to say something, but she didn't dare to because of her mother-in-law's authority.
Li Yaren's wife, who was standing next to him, saw this and said with a smile:
"Oh, these two kids are childhood sweethearts, they grew up together, there's no need to tie them down with a baby marriage."
This was just a way to smooth things over, and the full moon banquet was finally held successfully.
After the banquet, Li Wanqing and Gu Yan had a late-night chat.
Gu Yan then talked about what Manager Liu's eldest daughter-in-law said during the meal.
"Our Xuexue will never marry his son. He's already three years old and still needs to be fed by adults. He doesn't look like he'll have any future."
Li Wanqing nodded and said:
"Whether he has a promising future is another matter. Manager Liu's eldest daughter-in-law is not an easy person to get along with. If anyone marries into their family in the future, they will suffer."
What Li Wanqing didn't say was that as a man, Gu Yan might not understand, but for a girl getting married, the most important thing is whether the people in her husband's family are easy to get along with.
Besides, arranged marriages are not always what they seem, and Xuexue is different from her sons. Girls are always at a disadvantage in marriage.
She and Gu Yan are parents, so they always have to think carefully about Xuexue.
"If it really doesn't work out, let's both work harder and save more for the children. In the future, we can find wives for Xuanxuan and Hengheng, and a son-in-law for Xuexue."
Gu Yan suddenly said to Li Wanqing.
Li Wanqing was a little surprised and didn't know why Gu Yan had such an idea, because she knew that Gu Yan was a bit chauvinistic in nature.
Perhaps seeing his wife's doubts, Gu Yan said:
"When I saw Xuexue was just a tiny little ball when she was born, I felt like my heart was melting. I couldn't bear to let her get married in the future. I was afraid she would suffer, but I also couldn't bear not seeing her forever.
Thinking about it this way, it would be better to find a husband for her in the future, so that she won’t be bullied by others.”
Li Wanqing never thought that Gu Yan really thought so. She felt very touched and didn't know what to say for a moment.
She simply put her arms around Gu Yan's waist and buried her head in his arms.
Seeing his wife like this, Gu Yan said:
"Why, do you think I'm the kind of idiot who only cares about his son and not his daughter?
As long as they are our children, we treat them all equally, regardless of gender.
Also, I found a doctor. He prescribed some medicine and said we won’t have any more children. The three of them are enough for us.”
Li Wanqing was really moved this time and said:
"My husband, I really didn't marry the wrong person. Marrying you is the right decision."
Gu Yan patted Li Wanqing's back gently with his hand, and was very tender for a moment.
A dreamless night.
