After getting off work, Li Qiuxiang rushed back home. She washed up first, packed her things, and asked her grandfather to take them with him.
Grandpa Li frowned. "Qiu Xiang, aren't you coming with me?"
Li Qiuxiang casually combed her hair and said, "Grandpa, I can find your little shabby house with my eyes closed. You can go there yourself in a bit. I have important business to attend to!"
Grandpa Li was very unhappy. "What kind of important matter is that? Don't you feel disgusted by the reputation of our family? I don't agree!"
Li Qiuxiang pouted, "What's so disgusting? You don't know how good-looking Wang Dong is!"
"Can good food fill your stomach? All you do is think about useless things all day long! With their reputation, you can ask around in Beijing, they're on the list!" Old Li was furious.
“I’m marrying Wang Dong, not his family. Oh dear! Don’t worry about it, sir. I know what I’m doing!” With that, she went out, humming a song as she arrived at Qi’s mother’s courtyard. Just then, Wang Dong came home from get off work and was washing his hair in the courtyard.
Li Qiuxiang's mouth was watering with anticipation. She composed herself, quickly went inside, grabbed a water ladle, and used one hand to rinse Wang Dong's face while the other washed his hair.
Wang Dong was startled and jumped back, shouting, "Who is it!"
Li Qiuxiang took a towel and dried his hair, saying, "Why did you run away? You've gotten me all wet!"
Wang Dong grabbed a towel, wiped his eyes first, and when he saw it was Li Qiuxiang, he suppressed his anger and said, "You...don't you have any sense of propriety between men and women?!"
"What defense? Aren't we all revolutionary comrades, brothers and sisters with the same ideals? Why so much defense? Your thinking is wrong, you need to correct it!" Li Qiuxiang said nonchalantly.
"What...what are you doing at my house?" Wang Dong quickly finished drying his hair and pulled over a piece of clothing to put on.
"What? Wang Dong, what do you mean? We're dating! Can't I come to your house?" Li Qiuxiang looked at him with disbelief.
The neighbors were all peeking over and whispering among themselves.
Hearing the commotion, Qi's mother came out and looked at Li Qiuxiang, whom she disliked. Her lips twitched, and she said slowly and deliberately, "Qiuxiang! Your grandma sent you to get the basin, right? Here, Grandma Qi will get it for you right away!"
"Stop! Grandma, what do you mean? What do you mean my grandma asked me to bring a basin? How dare you be so shameless? Who do you think you are, and why would my grandma bring you steamed buns! Those were eight steamed buns I brought you because Wang Dong agreed to date me. They were shrimp and tofu buns, so fresh! If he didn't date me, would I give you eight steamed buns? Did my grain just fall from the sky?" Li Qiuxiang's words once again put the Qi family in the spotlight.
Qi's mother's face flushed red and then turned pale. Wang Dong also regretted eating it. He turned around, grabbed a bowl, and handed it to Li Qiuxiang. Li Qiuxiang snorted, "Wang Dong, when are you going to marry me?"
Wang Dong's face turned pale with anger. "When did I say I wanted to marry you?!" Is this woman crazy?! He didn't even date her, and she jumped straight to marriage.
Li Qiuxiang sneered, "What? Is your family a family tradition of scamming people out of their looks? Trying to seduce me, huh? Come on, let's go to the neighborhood committee and talk! All the neighbors can be my witnesses!"
Wang Dong grabbed her shoulder and covered her mouth with his other hand. He whispered, "What are you doing? What are you talking nonsense about!"
Li Qiuxiang winked and gave Wang Dongfei a meaningful look, which made him release her grip in anger. Li Qiuxiang laughed and said, "You've already touched me inappropriately, and you still say we're not a couple? Anyway, let me tell you, hurry up and get the introduction letter and marry me. My sister-in-law is about to give birth, and I have nowhere to live at home." Then she looked at Qi's mother with dissatisfaction, "Grandma, if I'm moving in, I won't be staying in the side room. Quickly clear out the main room for me! Don't try to fool me, or I'll report you to the police for indecent assault!"
Mother Qi trembled with rage at the shameless tone. Li Qiuxiang, holding a basin, said, "Wang Dong, go get the letter of introduction tomorrow!"
Wang Dong angrily shouted, "Shut up! Get out of here! I'll..."
Li Qiuxiang's face darkened. "You do something and then don't want to admit it, is that it? I was originally thinking of just getting a letter of introduction for the marriage and calling it a day. Since that's the case, don't blame me for being impolite. The bride price is five hundred yuan, due tomorrow morning at nine o'clock. If I don't see it by then, don't blame me for reporting you for indecent assault. You try me if you don't believe me!"
After saying that, she left and returned the basin. Aunt Li added, "Qiuxiang, why don't you find another family? That family is really..."
Li Qiuxiang scoffed, "I'm determined to marry Wang Dong, Grandma, just you wait! I'll marry him in five days at the latest." After saying that, she hummed a song and walked towards Grandpa Li's dilapidated little house.
She slept soundly, then went to the factory office to get a marriage introduction letter. She took a day off, strolled home, and when she learned that Qi's mother hadn't come, she smiled. After eating, she went to the street office, where she sat on the ground and wailed, "Director Wang! I can't live like this!"
When Director Wang of the neighborhood saw Li Qiuxiang, he was also very confused. She was a troublemaker who had barely managed to get her elementary school diploma. She threw tantrums and moved into the steel mill director's house with her luggage, stubbornly refusing to work. She finally got married two years ago and was no longer under her control, but she hadn't been able to settle down for long before she got divorced and came back.
But since she has impeccable political background, you can't do anything about it. You can only bite the bullet and say, "What are you doing? Get up! Let's talk this out!"
"What else is there to say? After my divorce, I asked Aunt Li from the same neighborhood, who is also my cousin, to arrange a marriage for me. The man was Wang Dong, the grandson of Old Lady Qi. I thought that since I was already divorced, he didn't mind that I didn't mind, and I didn't mind that he didn't mind either. I didn't expect that he would touch me and then not want to take responsibility..."
"What? Wang Dong is being a pervert towards you..."
“I didn’t blame him. I was thinking that we were getting married soon. I even got my marriage introduction letter, but Grandma Qi and Wang Dong…” She burst into tears.
