His younger brother was even more heartless and ruthless, treating Yao Qingqing as a tool for venting his anger.
After tormenting him for a while, he pulled up his pants and left.
Yao Qingqing cried in the room, feeling wronged.
She dared not cry loudly, but only sobbed softly.
Even so, her mother-in-law came in and gave her a warning.
Fortunately, I didn't hit her again.
She regrets it now; if only she had married an honest man in the village.
Otherwise, we wouldn't be stuck in this godforsaken place, unable to even go home.
Every night, these two men would come and torment her!
Moreover, she wasn't allowed to go out during the day; they just locked her up in this little house.
She had no idea what was happening outside.
She could not leave the house until she became pregnant.
But that's a story for another time.
At this moment, Huo Changlan was still smugly pleased that his daughter had found a good home.
With five hundred yuan in hand, her life became much more comfortable.
That same day, they went to the commune and bought a lot of things.
With Yao Qingqing's matter resolved, it's time to talk about Dao Tingting.
Yao Tingting didn't want to marry someone too far away, so that her family could help her if anything happened in the future.
Huo Changlan actually thought Yan Hua was a pretty good kid, but he didn't know if Niu Erhua would agree.
She was too embarrassed to ask.
She took a liking to Yan Hua because he was an only son in his family and didn't have any daughters or anything.
I can marry into that family later.
Although life was just so-so, I was still by her side!
She then took Yao Tingting to find Li Xiangyun.
"Second sister-in-law, I'm busy! I need your help with something."
She spoke very politely, but Li Xiangyun didn't want to talk to her.
"Go ask your second brother for help. I can't help you with anything."
She stepped forward and took Li Xiangyun's hand: "Second sister-in-law, I was just thinking that Tingting is getting older, so I asked you to help me find her a boyfriend. I think Yan Hua is a good match. Could you help me put in a good word for him?"
Li Xiangyun's first reaction was to refuse; Yan Hua was an honest man.
If he were to marry Yao Tingting, wouldn't things turn into chaos?
This is not a good thing.
She waved her hand and said, "I can't say that. I won't ask anyone for a marriage proposal in the future."
Go find someone else!
Seeing that things were not going well, Huo Changlan went to ask Huo Changgen for advice.
"Second brother, did you see your sister-in-law? I asked her to help find a marriage partner for Tingting, but she refused."
Huo Changgen smacked his lips and laughed it off: "Well, I have something to do and need to go out. Your second sister-in-law doesn't agree, so why don't you just go find your eldest sister-in-law?"
Seeing that her second brother was no longer helping, Huo Changlan had no choice but to go back.
She dared not go to Zhang Guihua; if she did, she would surely be scolded.
Having no other choice, she went to find Li Dawang's mother, Aunt Li.
"Sister-in-law, I need your help with something. If it works out, I'll give you a reward."
Aunt Li smiled and said, "What is it? Just tell me! We're all from the village, no need to be so polite."
Huo Changlan smiled and said, "Our Tingting has reached the right age, and I'm thinking of finding her a good husband."
"I think Yan Hua is quite good. I wonder if you could put in a good word for him?"
Aunt Li smiled and said, "Okay, I'll be the matchmaker. I'll go ask Niu Erhua in a bit."
"Just go home and wait!"
Huo Changlan put down twenty eggs and left.
Their daughter-in-law is currently pregnant and needs eggs.
Aunt Li didn't stand on ceremony either.
After accepting the eggs, he immediately went to find Aunt Niu Er.
Originally, it seemed like a natural progression, but as soon as Niu Erhua heard that it was Yao Tingting, she immediately shook her head.
"No, Huo Changlan only has one daughter. If her daughter marries my son, won't my son have to support her in the future?"
“Our son isn’t in a hurry, and besides, I don’t approve of Huo Changlan’s behavior.”
Aunt Li: "Erhua, look, your son is living with Yao Tingting, not Huo Changlan."
"That won't do either. I just don't like it. It would only cause trouble for my son."
Aunt Li arrived excitedly, but left disappointed.
They thought the deal was done, but Niu Erhua immediately said no.
Upon learning this, Huo Changlan slammed his fist on the table in anger.
"Hmph!! They look down on us, but we look down on him too!"
Aunt Li returned the eggs.
Huo Changlan smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, why don't you take these eggs back? If you find any suitable ones, could you please help me put in a good word for them? Other villages are fine too, it doesn't have to be from our village."
Aunt Li nodded, ultimately reluctant to part with those twenty eggs!
On the other hand, Yang Dasheng went to see his uncle after returning home that afternoon.
His uncle was very happy to hear that he was willing to find a partner.
He immediately said, "I'll go prepare some gifts for you. Go ahead and do it! Our acquaintance is a thing of the past. Go and make a good impression on them."
Yang Dasheng laughed and said, "Uncle, no need, I have money, I can prepare it myself. Just tell me what to buy!"
"Cigarettes, alcohol, fruit, candy, canned goods, pastries, anything goes!"
Yang Dasheng nodded: "Alright, Uncle, I'll head back now. I still need to go back and ask Minmin!"
Yang Dasheng's uncle grinned from ear to ear: "Look at you, you're already calling it a day before it's even started. Don't let people laugh at you if they hear you."
Yang Dasheng scratched his head: "I'm just impatient! We've finally made some progress, so I have to keep going!"
Yang Dasheng's uncle laughed and said, "Then you should get along well with your friend in the future."
