Chapter 729 My Dad is Dead

"Then kill two and use them to make soup. I mentioned this to mother in the carriage, but she said we already had chicken soup and that if we made another soup, we wouldn't be able to finish it and there wouldn't be enough room on the table. Now that you say you want to eat, mother will definitely agree. I'll make the fish soup myself, and the rabbit soup as well."

Liu Youyou smiled with her eyes crooked and her fangs showing, looking very cute.

"Then I'll go talk to my aunt. By the way, do you like cooking? My sister likes it too. Who did you learn cooking from, my aunt?" Jiang Tongtu asked curiously.

"You learn it as you go. When I was little, my father would beat me if I didn't cook for him. At that time, my mother picked mushrooms in the mountains, dried them and sold them to supplement the family income. My father didn't do farm work or work in the city. The whole family depended on my mother. Every time my father beat me, no one helped me. I could only try to make the dishes taste better so that he wouldn't beat me."

Although she was telling a sad story, Liu Youyou said it with a smile.

Jiang Tongtu was stunned.

"Your father hit you? Your father looks like a nice person, why is this happening?" He was a little confused. Youyou's father looked very kind and didn't seem like someone who would hit people.

Moreover, although the Liu family is not as rich as his family, they are also considered wealthy in the town. Could it be that Mr. Liu has turned over a new leaf?

That's why you work hard to make money to help your family improve their lives?

Jiang Tongtu had a lot of ideas.

"No, you misunderstood. My father is not my biological father. He is my stepfather. My father died a long time ago. He went to the village to steal chickens and was bitten to death by a dog on the neck. My mother did not ask the owner to pay compensation. She took the money she and I had secretly saved and left. My mother was diligent and capable. She found a job in a cloth shop dyeing cloth, and that's how she got to know my stepfather.

Later, I changed my last name to Liu. My last name was Zhang. Dad was afraid that Mom would run into people from the original village and think of the sad past, so he sold the cloth shop and brought us here. I shouldn't have told you these things, but I think if we really decided, you should know about this."

Liu Youyou looked at Jiang Tongtu seriously, wanting to see his reaction.

Jiang Tongtu was just shocked.

He was stunned for a long time before he slowly said, "The hard times are over. You will be happy every day from now on."

He doesn't know how to comfort people, so he could only utter these words in a dry voice.

"Will you dislike me? Do you dislike me because I came from the village, because my father is my stepfather, and because my parents got married later in life?"

Liu Youyou asked again.

"No, you are good, your mother is good, and your stepfather is even better. You are all good. Even if they are a couple who got married later in life, so what? It means that they should have been husband and wife, but they did not end up together because they encountered a fork in the road. Fate made them become husband and wife again, so they should be happy.

This is a fate made in heaven. Besides, we are from the same village, didn't your mother tell you? Our family used to be just like yours, with not enough food to eat and not enough clothes to wear. We all came from the same village. If I dislike you, wouldn't that mean I dislike myself? I'm not that kind of person."

Jiang Tongtu quickly explained.

Liu Youyou burst out laughing.

She was very satisfied with Jiang Tongtu's answer. After chatting for a while, she went back to her room to change clothes and went to the kitchen to cook.

In the evening, the two families finished their meal chatting and laughing, and then the Jiang family went home.

As soon as they left, Liu Youyou said to her mother, "Mom, I like him and I want to marry him."

"I haven't settled accounts with you yet. You made me so worried just for a rabbit. If something happens to you, what will happen to your father and me? Will we still be alive? I have to follow you with my own hands. What if we encounter bad guys?" Qian Yun was very angry.

Liu Youyou blinked at her stepfather who was standing behind her biological mother.

Liu Weixian walked up and dragged his wife away.

"Okay, isn't it okay? Youyou knows it in your heart. This is the child's personality. What can you do? You can't suppress her and let her stay at home for the rest of her life, right? In my opinion, Tongtu is suitable for her. The two of them can chat with each other.

After you get married, you will definitely live happily together. The Jiang family is not far away. Old Madam Jiang is kind and your parents are open-minded. You will not find such a good marriage. Just now, Old Madam Jiang mentioned the matter of hiring a matchmaker, and you agreed. You must be satisfied in your heart, right? "

Liu Weixian waved to Liu Youyou, and the latter quietly slipped back into the house.

"You will get used to her. Hey, husband, why don't you have another one? After Youyou gets married, there will be only two of us at home. I feel so empty inside. I'm sorry for not being able to give you a child, leaving you without descendants..."

Before Qian Yun could finish his words, Liu Weixian covered his mouth.

"Don't say that again. It's not like you haven't been pregnant before. You suffered a lot when you were young, and your body was damaged to the core. If I had known that your body was in that condition, I would never have let you get pregnant. You had a miscarriage, and I was very sad. Don't mention this matter again in the future.

Youyou is my biological daughter, so what if she gets married? Old Madam Jiang said that if Youyou wants to come back and live here, she can come back anytime. Her family doesn't care about these things. You have also asked around, and several of the Jiang family's daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law are living very comfortably. Otherwise, you wouldn't have agreed to Youyou marrying such an old man."

Liu Weixian held her waist and spoke softly.

"I just feel sorry for you. My body is not good and I can't give you a child. You will never have your own child in your life. I feel sorry for you."

Qian Yun shed tears, and Liu Weixian felt so distressed that he hurried to comfort her.

It’s true, although the father and daughter are not biological, they are equally good at coaxing people. Qian Yun smiled after a while.

As for Jiang Tongtu who had returned home, he did not even have time to go back to the house, but went to the second courtyard to look for Jiang Fubao.

He told Jiang Fubao everything Liu Youyou had told him, word for word.

"Fifth brother, why are you telling me this? Don't you like her anymore?" Jiang Fubao put down the brush in his hand and turned to look at him.

"No, I want to ask you, what can I do to make her happier in the future? I feel so sorry for her for having such a miserable childhood."

Jiang Tongtu explained anxiously.

"As long as Fifth Brother treats her with all his heart, that's enough. If you really can't, you can learn from the eldest and second brothers and you will know. It seems that I will have a new sister-in-law. Fifth Brother, you are really amazing and fast."

Jiang Fubao gave a thumbs up and praised sincerely.

She also didn't expect that Fifth Brother's blind date would go so smoothly. She was ready to get married after just the second meeting.

So, no matter when fate comes, it cannot be stopped.

It’s like there is an invisible hand behind you, pushing you forward.

Jiang Tongtu, who had resolved his doubts, returned to his yard, his mind full of Liu Youyou's figure.

The Jiang and Liu families got engaged at the end of October, and the wedding date was very close, in mid-December, and they picked a good day before the New Year.
