"Don't be angry." Su Xu quickly took the opportunity to hug Liu Nian and coaxed her gently, "If this kind of person dares to come to the house again, I will kick him out."
After Xiuxiu got divorced, many people had their eyes on her. They were either old bachelors who couldn't find wives, disabled people, or people who had been mentally challenged since childhood.
Since there's no decent man around anyway, Xiuxiu might as well live alone instead of marrying into the family and taking care of the whole household.
I used to think that Xiuxiu was too good for me, and that she would naturally not find anyone better after the divorce. Isn't that the kind of mentality I had?
Liu Nian grasped Su Xu's hand and said, "I'm not angry at Captain Li, I'm angry at that toad who wants to eat swan meat."
"I'll sound out Li Dapeng's opinion sometime," Su Xu said. "These kinds of things always depend on Xiuxiu's opinion."
"Mmm." Liu Nian nodded and snuggled closer to Su Xu. Suddenly, a burnt smell wafted into her nose.
"What does it taste like?" Liu Nian sniffed.
Su Xu immediately jumped up, "I was just stewing bird's nest for you!"
He rushed to the kitchen, muttering, "Oh no, it's all burnt."
Liu Nian sighed, narrowed her eyes as she watched Su Xu's retreating figure, and thought that even the best days couldn't be this good.
...
After leaving Liu Nian's place, Captain Li went directly to Li Jian's house.
His brother was practically destitute, with a child to support, and had nothing to his name, so naturally no woman wanted to be with him. The worst part was his laziness; he never bothered to pull the waist-high grass in front of his door.
As soon as the door opened, Li Jianguo eagerly asked, "How did it go? Did they say anything?"
“People say Xiuxiu has a boyfriend.” Captain Li looked at Li Jianguo with disdain and said, “Don’t even think about it. Xiuxiu will find a good family no matter what.”
Li Jianguo glared at Captain Li and said, "What's wrong with me? She's divorced, her body isn't clean anymore, and she still wants to find a young man!"
These days, divorce is no big deal. Divorced women can't survive; they're lucky if someone wants them! Li Jianguo snorted, "You must not have explained yourself clearly. I'll go to the Liu family myself tomorrow."
"Could you please not go and embarrass yourself?" Captain Li still felt ashamed when he thought about it. "They practically chased me out with a broom!"
"What are you saying? He's your brother. If you don't help him, who will?" Li's mother, Zhang Jinzhi, came in carrying a basin, bringing food to her second son.
She glared at Captain Li and said, "No matter what, we must do our best to make this happen."
If the second son gets married in the future, will she still have to suffer like this? After he gets married, he can take care of her.
“And in the future, she can also establish a relationship with Su Xu. Don’t you think that makes sense?” Zhang Jinzhi thought about it carefully, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Xiuxiu was prepared for her son.
"Do whatever you want, I'm not involved!" Captain Li waved his hand. "Even if you climb the social ladder in the future, I won't be envious."
He turned and left, leaving Zhang Jinzhi furious and cursing after him, "I found a good wife for your brother, why aren't you happy? You traitor!"
"Grandma, I want to eat eggs." The little grandson came over with two big snot dripping from his nose. His chest and sleeves were covered in black snot, and his little face was chapped like tree bark.
"Once your dad finds you a stepmother, you'll be able to eat anything you want." Li Jianguo chuckled, his heart pounding with excitement as he thought of Xiuxiu.
"Mom, you should go talk to Xiuxiu's mom tomorrow and have a good talk with her." Li Jianguo was already getting impatient. "We need to get things done quickly."
...
The next morning, Liu Nian got up and, after thinking about it, decided to talk to Zhou Hongyi about it, just in case Li Jianguo and the others wouldn't give up and would cause trouble at their house.
Before Liu Nian even entered the room, she saw Zhang Jinzhi walking towards her from the front.
