Chapter 251 Everyone Has Their Own Thoughts
While Li Wanqing and Gu Yan were chatting at night, the candles in Manager Liu's house were lit until very late.
Shopkeeper Liu's eldest daughter-in-law was also talking to Shopkeeper Liu's eldest son.
"You said that Li Wanqing from the Gu family is really ungrateful. Our youngest son is so good, so fair and smart."
This is purely the mother filter of Liu's eldest daughter-in-law, but she is not the only one who has a filter. Liu's eldest son also has a mysterious confidence in his younger son.
"That's right. Our son has a bright future ahead of him."
After criticizing Li Wanqing, Manager Liu's eldest daughter-in-law and eldest son talked for a while about how good and outstanding their own sons were.
But they were really envious of Li Wanqing's family conditions, and felt that it would be very beneficial for their family if their son could marry such a daughter-in-law.
Thinking of Li Wanqing's family conditions, Manager Liu's eldest daughter-in-law stopped criticizing Li Wanqing and started to plan:
"Are you saying that our Zhou Zhou really has no chance? If you ask me, they just haven't looked at Zhou Zhou carefully, otherwise they would definitely be eager to send their daughter to me as a daughter-in-law."
The corner of Manager Liu's eldest son's mouth twitched. Although he also thought his son was good in every way, he didn't think Gu Yan and his family would rush to send their daughter over and propose that she be their daughter-in-law.
But the eldest son of the shopkeeper Liu did not pour cold water on his wife, but just said:
"If that's the case, then you can bring Zhou Zhou over tomorrow. Hang out with Li Wanqing and the others more often. This will allow the two children to get to know each other better and build a foundation for their relationship. Then, it will be natural for them to be together in the future."
Manager Liu's eldest daughter-in-law thought what her husband said made a lot of sense, and immediately nodded in agreement.
While Shopkeeper Liu's eldest daughter-in-law and eldest son were talking, Shopkeeper Liu and his wife were also talking.
"Husband, do you think the eldest daughter-in-law and her friends' idea can succeed?"
Shopkeeper Liu was a little puzzled and asked:
"What idea? How come I don't know?"
Mrs. Liu rolled her eyes at him and said:
"It's obvious that you were just focused on drinking and didn't listen to us at all, right? Just now during dinner, the eldest daughter-in-law said she wanted to arrange a marriage between Zhou Zhou and Xue Xue from Wan Qing's family.
Xuexue is a very lovely girl, but Wanqing wasn't very interested, so she declined.
Shopkeeper Liu didn't think too deeply about it and just said casually:
"It would be great to marry Gu Yan and his family. I know Gu Yan quite well, and he's a very reliable person. His wife, Li Wanqing, isn't the type to mess around. It would be great to marry them."
"snort."
After hearing her husband's thoughtless words, Mrs. Liu Changgui snorted coldly at Manager Liu.
"Do you think your grandson is a gold ingot? And everyone likes him? In my opinion, Wanqing and the others don't seem like the type to arrange marriages.
Of course, if the two children see each other every day and develop feelings for each other over time, it would be best if our two families could become relatives."
Shopkeeper Liu nodded. He felt that it was not easy for him to build a family business for his son. As for his son's son, he should let his son worry about it.
Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and Manager Liu and his wife were very open-minded. They cleaned up and talked for a while before retiring to bed.
Li Yingdi and Gu Bei were also talking over there, and it was mainly Li Yingdi who was complaining.
"Your third brother is really something. He had another child and didn't even inform our family. If the neighbors hadn't told me today, I wouldn't have known about it."
Gu Bei's focus was not on this. He only cared about how Gu Yan had given birth to another child. Thinking of this, Gu Bei said with some dark jealousy:
"This is the third child, is it a son or a daughter?"
"It's a girl."
"Humph, it turns out that Gu Yan has both a son and a daughter."
Hearing this, Gu Bei felt even more bitter. He and Li Yingdi had been married for so many years, but they only had one child, Gu Zhiwen. They had always wanted to have another child so that Zhiwen would have someone to look after him in the future, but the couple had never been able to do so.
So when Gu Bei heard that Gu Yan and Li Wanqing had another child, the sourness in his stomach couldn't stop coming out.
Gu Bei thought that he was older than Gu Yan, and he only had Zhiwen as his child, which was a bit too little.
Li Yingdi started to think over there, and she said to Gu Bei excitedly:
"What do you think of my nephew from my mother's side?"
Gu Bei didn't react at first, and said impatiently:
"You have so many nephews on your mother's side, how would I know which one you're talking about?"
Li Yingdi glanced at Gu Bei and said:
"It's Xiaohai. My third sister-in-law's Xiaohai is exactly three years old this year. He's a perfect match for Xuexue."
Gu Bei remembered that the last time he and Li Yingdi went to Li Yingdi's parents' home, this guy named Xiaohai was still playing with urine and mud. He was dirty all over. Even Gu Bei, a man from the mountains, was disgusted when he saw him.
Gu Bei hesitated. He knew what kind of people Gu Yan and Li Wanqing were, so he said hesitantly:
"Is this okay? Let's not talk about Gu Yan, let's just talk about Li Wanqing herself. Will they agree?"
Li Yingdi shrugged indifferently and said:
"She's just a little girl. How can Gu Yan and the others value her? Besides, you're still his second brother after all. How could he not agree if you asked him?"
Gu Bei felt that this was also the case, but he still didn't want to come forward himself, so he said:
"Then go tell your brother-in-law and his family. After all, it's your family that wants to marry Xuexue."
Li Yingdi agreed excitedly and started to think about it in her mind.
"If Xiao Hai and Li Wanqing's Xuexue can really get together, then I'll ask for Li Wanqing's braised pork recipe as a dowry for that little girl.
After all, we will be a family in the future, so what's the big deal?"
The more Li Yingdi thought about it, the happier she became. She wished it would be morning right away so she could go to her parents' home, grab her third sister-in-law, bring Xiao Hai, and Li Wanqing to finalize the matter.
Thinking this way, it seemed that Li Wanqing would definitely agree. Li Yingdi never thought about the possibility that Li Wanqing would refuse.
Gu Bei on the other side was also very excited after hearing what Li Yingdi said.
The couple seemed to have already seen the rich and prosperous days in the future beckoning to them, and then sent Zhiwen to the best school. In the future, they would also become the parents of officials, and then live a happy life as landlords and landlord wives in the countryside.
If Li Wanqing knew what they were thinking, she would definitely beat them on the head with a broom, and then tell them to get out and never see each other again.
My own daughter is something a toad like Li Yingdi's nephew from her mother's side can only dream of. It's really a dream.
