"Do you think being good to her is enough? A family needs love to maintain it." Zhang Hehua looked at her son, overwhelmed with thoughts.
Li Qingming stared at his mother, not understanding or comprehending.
But getting him to love Xia Xiaoli is really difficult.
"Li Qingming, it's not that I'm saying you can't marry Xiaoli, but you need to understand that this is how I've lived my life!"
Thinking about her own life, Zhang Hehua couldn't help but shed tears. Now, Xia Xiaoli's experience was exactly the same as hers.
“Qingming, your father spent his whole life missing his ex-wife. On his wedding night, he told me that he must treat the child he had with his deceased first wife with utmost care. I have never wronged their child, but I have wronged myself.” Zhang Hehua held Li Qingming’s hand. “Qingming, I will not object to you marrying Xiaoli’s child, but it’s not enough for you to be truly good to that child!”
"Mom, I've only ever loved Miaomiao in my whole life," Li Qingming insisted on explaining his thoughts.
“Qingming, loving someone doesn’t need to be said. Mom never met the child Miaomiao you mentioned, but she has passed away. I understand that you feel guilty and indebted to her. But Xiaoli didn’t do anything wrong. You married Xiaoli out of a sense of responsibility, so you also need to take on the role of a husband and take care of Xiaoli’s feelings.”
Zhang Hehua hoped that her son could get married and have children, but things happened so suddenly that she didn't have time to accept it.
Xia Xiaoli, who was hurt, must also be unable to accept this fact.
"Qingming, since you want to marry Xiaoli, can you try to love Xiaoli instead of just being nice to her out of a sense of responsibility?" Zhang Hehua really liked Xia Xiaoli and knew that Xia Xiaoli's misfortune was caused by her son.
After hearing his mother's request, Li Qingming hesitated for a moment, his eyes darkening as he pondered the matter.
"Since you're getting married, Mom needs to make this clear to you: marriage is difficult and there are many problems. You can't do anything to betray Xiaoli anymore. You should be more careful with your scheming and take responsibility for yourself, your family, and your future wife!"
Your mother's entire life couldn't compare to her deceased first wife, and you can't compare to the children born to that deceased wife. Your father wronged you, and your mother sacrificed you for her own happiness, but now your mother can get a divorce! It's because you've become successful, and I have an excellent son to support me!
Xia Xiaoli is different. If she marries you, she'll have nowhere to go if she divorces. If you don't consider Xia Xiaoli's future with you and rush into marriage, what will you do after many things happen after the marriage?
Faced with his mother's words, Li Qingming fell silent.
“Son, I’m so glad you’re still a responsible child. I’m not saying this to make you give up on marrying Xia Xiaoli, but to hope you can consider things from a girl’s perspective. Getting married and then divorced isn’t just a problem for the unmarried girl alone, it’s a problem for the whole family. Getting married or not getting married now won’t do her any good.”
"Mom, I will seriously consider this matter. Can you help me propose marriage first?" Li Qingming knew how hard his mother had worked and how much she had been ostracized at home over the years. "Mom, I will not let Xiaoli suffer any injustice. I will not let her suffer the same hardships you have endured."
“Li Qingming, this isn’t something to worry about, it’s something you need to solve.” Zhang Hehua continued, “You’re the one who has to take responsibility for your mistakes. You can love Luo Miaomiao deeply, but from today onwards, keep it in your heart and don’t bring up the past again, understand?”
This may be difficult for Li Qingming, but it is the only solution.
Zhang Hehua hopes that Li Qingming can let go of the past and look to the future. Zhang Hehua firmly believes that as long as Li Qingming lets go of his obsession with the past, he will definitely fall in love with such an excellent girl as Xia Xiaoli.
Li Qingming was also moved by what his mother said.
"Mom, I'll listen to you. I'll try to open my heart to Xia Xiaoli. When you propose, you must do everything you can to get Xiaoli to agree to marry me," Li Qingming pleaded with his mother.
"What do you mean by trying every means? Xiaoli didn't agree to marry you?" Zhang Hehua realized and pressed for an answer.
Li Qingming nodded guiltily.
"How can I persuade her?" Zhang Hehua realized that this was a difficult problem she had been given!
"Mom, please!" Li Qingming said earnestly to Zhang Hehua.
Zhang Hehua took a deep breath and closed her eyes helplessly.
What kind of karma did he create to attract such a son? It's unlucky that a grown man could be schemed against by others so many times.
Utterly stupid!
"Mother……"
"Fine, I'll go, okay?" Zhang Hehua said helplessly, picking up her chopsticks. "You have to let me eat before you go. This is my first time proposing marriage, so I definitely need to be in the best possible condition."
Helpless, Li Qingming could only wait for his mother to finish her meal before going.
“Mom, tell Xiaoli that after she gets married, I won’t interfere with what she wants to do. I will support her in whatever she likes to do. If we encounter any problems, we can discuss them together and solve them.”
"Also, after we get married, all the money will be given to her to manage, and I..."
"Quiet down." Zhang Hehua was already nervous, and Li Qingming's words made her even more nervous.
"Go to the supply and marketing cooperative up ahead and buy some things," Zhang Hehua said to Li Qingming.
"What do you want to buy?" Li Qingming asked curiously.
Zhang Hehua stared at her son, speechless for a long time.
