Chapter 508 We made it through
Regardless of how Song Zhenzhu inquired about Li Sanniang or how she viewed Li Sanniang.
Li San Niang's life did not change because of other people's attention. She still got up early, washed up, and ran a few laps in the yard with Li Er Lang and the others until she was sweating lightly before stopping.
After everything was settled, Li San Niang made a special trip to the doghouse to check on Little Yellow's bulging belly before leaving home.
"Mother, you have to keep an eye on Little Yellow. I think it'll be in the next couple of days, and who knows when it might give birth."
Mother Li urged Li San Niang to hurry up and get on the carriage to go to her shift, lest she be late.
"I know, how could I not keep an eye on a dog? Hurry up, it's getting late, don't get stuck in traffic and miss your train."
Li San Niang quickly got into the carriage and headed towards Yongpingfang with Qiu Xiang and Lao Shi.
After Li San Niang left, the rest of the Li family went to school, did their duties, or held their meetings. Even Li's mother had to open the door to the neighboring women's assistance association to prevent anyone from coming to her for help.
However, in the middle of the morning, the Li family welcomed a woman who was a complete stranger to them.
Who is this woman?
However, it was an acquaintance of Li San Niang, Sun Cuilan, who had previously come to Li San Niang for a medical consultation.
(Appears in Chapter 427)
Li Erxiong first received Sun Cuilan in the clinic, and then quickly asked Li Gui, the clinic's young assistant, to go next door and call Li's mother and sister-in-law over.
When Li's mother rushed back from next door, she saw Sun Cuilan sitting in the main hall, and four gifts placed on a small table next to her.
After exchanging greetings, Sun Cuilan directly stated her purpose.
"...That's how it is. Thanks to Dr. Li, I recovered earlier."
Dr. Li not only gave me advice, but also did me a lot of favors, visiting me at home several times to provide medical care.
I will remember all of this, and I am truly grateful to Dr. Li for his kindness.
Now that my marriage is finally settled, I'm determined to visit Dr. Li to express my sincere gratitude.
After saying that, Sun Cuilan took out an invitation from her bosom and handed it over with both hands.
"On the day of the wedding, if Dr. Li is free, please come to our house for a celebratory drink."
It turned out that since Sun Cuilan extricated herself from the Zhou family's vortex and even rescued Qian Xiaoniangzi, she had completely put the matter aside and turned to work on her own marriage.
(Chapter 480 plot)
Originally, Sun Cuilan's family was planning to find a husband for her, but Sun's mother said, "Finding a husband is a viable option."
But our family isn't exactly wealthy; we're just a family that can afford to eat our fill and manage to save a little money.
Cuilan may seem wonderful to us, but to others, she is ultimately just an ordinary girl.
Moreover, how good can a man be who can become a live-in son-in-law?
Cuilan is our family's daughter, and no matter what, she can't be forced to marry a bad man and suffer mistreatment.
Furthermore, the man is actually more petty than the woman; he claims to be a son-in-law who moves into the woman's family, but he probably still has the idea of ​​returning to his ancestral home for three generations.
"In that case, how can we find a son-in-law to live with us?"
What Sun's mother said made a lot of sense. Besides, in this city, how could there not be families where there were only daughters and then a son-in-law who moved in? Who could not see what kind of life the daughters in these families were living?
"What does Mother mean?"
What Sun Adi was really thinking was, so what if Sun Cuilan never married?
"At worst, I'll just leave my sister at home. I'll take care of her, I'll take care of her for the rest of my life!"
As soon as Sun Adi said this, he was rewarded with a large bag by his mother.
"You said that without thinking!"
Can you still choose not to get married and have children in the future?
Besides, the government collects more taxes from the families of unmarried women; isn't that money? Do you have that kind of money?
And how do you know your older sister doesn't want to get married?
Although Sun Adi lowered his head after being scolded by his mother, he was cursing inwardly, but in the end, he didn't dare to continue saying that.
"I was thinking, since that's the case, let's not talk about finding a son-in-law, let's just find a man who has no parents or relatives."
Thus, the man married Cuilan, and Cuilan became his only family.
Afterwards, Cuilan gave birth to a child, leaving an heir for this man. How could he not treat our Cuilan well?
We could simply have this man live near our house.
Even if Sun Cuilan gets married in the future, she will stay by our side.
"So what if the child takes someone else's surname? He's still Cuilan's child."
Sun Cuilan's family all agreed that Sun's mother was right. So, Sun Cuilan's family found a matchmaker and told her these requirements. A few months later, the matchmaker actually found a suitable candidate.
This man had fled to Chang'an from another region during a famine. All his relatives had died, leaving him all alone. He lived in the outer three cities.
He was a year younger than Sun Cuilan, but he was strong and robust. When the matchmaker arranged their first meeting, the man blushed and couldn't speak when he saw Sun Cuilan. He was a simple and honest person.
After meeting him two or three times, Sun Cuilan felt that this man was quite good and began to have further thoughts about him.
However, before formally discussing marriage, Sun Cuilan met with this person alone and told him about her situation.
"...So, I once hit a child."
My family even offered lamps to that child at the temple.
I am no longer a virgin. If you dislike me, let's just consider this a past acquaintance.
If you don't mind, I'll talk to the matchmaker and we can live happily together from now on.
Although Sun Cuilan appeared resigned on the surface, she was actually terrified inside. She genuinely thought the man was a good person, liked him to some extent, and truly wanted to get married as soon as possible to put her mother, father, and younger brother at ease.
The man listened with a flushed face at first, but when he heard his granddaughter Cuilan say that she had been drugged and raped by Zhou Dalang, and that she had gotten pregnant and then aborted the child, his face darkened.
Seeing the man's dark face, Sun Cuilan felt tears welling up in her eyes. "Yes, what man wouldn't care about a woman's chastity?"
That's wishful thinking on my part.
Forget it, forget it, forget it.
Seeing this, Sun Cuilan hardened her heart, put on a strong and indifferent expression, stood up and said to the man, "Since that's the case, let's end it here."
May you find your perfect wife soon.
After saying that, Sun Cuilan turned around and was about to leave. After turning her head, Sun Cuilan closed her eyes, suppressed the soreness in her nose, and refused to let the tears fall, in order to maintain her last bit of dignity.
Just as Sun Cuilan was about to leave, the man grabbed her arm.
"I'm not good at talking, and I don't know how to coax people."
But I don't mind, I really don't mind!
real!
I really don't mind; it's not like you chose to do it yourself.
The man's simple words finally brought tears to Sun Cuilan's eyes, which she had been holding back.
"I came here as a refugee, and I have no relatives or friends. I just have some strength, which is enough to make a living."
Where is there anything I find objectionable about you?
It's already a blessing that you don't mind me.
Don't worry, after we're married, I'll treat you well. If you agree, I'll send a matchmaker to propose marriage right away.
Finally, the man hired a matchmaker, took the money he had saved over the years to the Sun family, and sincerely asked to marry Sun Cuilan.
Therefore, Sun Cuilan brought the invitation to the Li family.
After accepting the invitation, Li's mother said she would give it to Li San Niang upon her return home, and only then did Sun Cuilan leave.
