"How could he possibly refuse!" Old Mrs. Ma's eyes widened. "If he misses out on such a good daughter-in-law, where else can he find one? I, this old woman, have made the offer, and I don't believe he would refuse."
“Mother-in-law,” Lu Qingyan said gracefully, “arranged marriages are no longer allowed. Marriage should be based on mutual consent. Besides, you haven’t seen him for a long time, so he might already have someone else.”
Grandma Ma patted her head: "Yes, we still need to ask him."
Grandma Ma was impulsive; she immediately took off her apron and went outside.
I don't know what she said to Rong Qing, but she came in with a beaming smile on her face.
"That's wonderful! He agreed. This is the first time I've ever successfully acted as a matchmaker." Having accomplished such a joyous occasion, Old Mrs. Ma worked much faster than usual.
While Lu Qingyan's marriage was already settled, Liu Yi's situation was progressing smoothly as well. Just as Lu Qingyan had anticipated, Liu Yi's marriage to Guo Jianmin was soon put on the agenda.
Guo Jianmin's two older brothers got married early. At that time, the family was better off than others, and life wasn't as difficult as it is now.
The family was inherently lazy and unwilling to do much work. Over the years, they had several more children, which only made them poorer.
Nevertheless, the whole family has focused on arranging a marriage for Guo Jianmin all these years. However, given their current circumstances, no girl is willing to marry Guo Jianmin.
This time, a windfall happened. The Guo family actually got to marry a city girl. Although Guo Jianmin was initially reluctant, he was overjoyed when he came to his senses.
Although Liu Yi wasn't a local, she was a true member of the working class, and Guo Jianmin was quite satisfied with her background as his wife. However, the thought of how cunning she was made him feel uneasy.
But he also felt that having such a big handle on her would at least make her stay at home and live a good life with him, which was different from the other women in the village.
But Old Mrs. Guo wasn't really willing. If these two were just having a proper relationship, that would be one thing, but they'd been caught red-handed in a haystack by so many villagers. The thought of such a promiscuous woman becoming her daughter-in-law made Old Mrs. Guo extremely uncomfortable.
However, she tried to ignore it, attributing it to Liu Yi's lack of diligence in her work. She had been with the team for almost a year, yet she hadn't earned as many work points as a ten-year-old girl in the team. But despite her thoughts, she couldn't completely ignore it.
Now it's practically a fait accompli. Everyone in the production team knows her son and Liu Yi are a couple. If she were to stand up and object now, her precious son would probably be convicted of a crime.
After considering it for several days, and barely sleeping, Grandma Guo finally agreed.
It's such a pity. If her son hadn't been held back by such a person, she would definitely have had him marry Lu Zhiqing. That girl is incredibly hardworking; she could support their whole family on her own.
Lu Qingyan, who was being nagged by Grandma Guo, couldn't help but sneeze.
"What's wrong? Are you sick?" Rong Qing immediately handed over a handkerchief.
