"Aiju, how can you, a girl, ask such a question?"
No matter how good-tempered Ying Chunhua was, she couldn't help but start blaming Li Aiju when Li Aiju asked her whether Zhao Mingcheng, a grown man, had a partner.
Things like marriage and love can only be discussed with the involvement of parents.
You are a young girl, and you talk about that kind of thing. If people knew about it, you would probably be laughed at.
Ying Chunhua is the captain's wife, and she speaks with a bit of authority unconsciously.
Li Aiju was almost frightened and cried, but she suppressed her fear and explained to Ying Chunhua. Of course, that explanation was also a lie.
"Aunt Chunhua, this is what happened. My...my mother, Aunt Zhang, asked my grandfather to find a partner for Jinfeng, and she insisted on finding someone from the city. I was afraid Aunt Zhang would be disappointed, so when I heard there was a city person in your house, I...I came to see you. Aunt Chunhua, don't blame Aunt Zhang and Jinfeng, they...they didn't mean it!"
Li Aiju looked pitiful. After saying bad things about Zhang Xiulan and Li Jinfeng, she pretended to be sensible and generous and took the initiative to ask Ying Chunhua for forgiveness.
When Ying Chunhua heard this, her impression of Zhang Xiulan suddenly became bad.
In the entire production team, Zhang Xiu Lan was the only one who served as a stepmother. She used to think that Zhang Xiu Lan was a very good stepmother.
Now listening to what Zhang Xiu Lan said, it seems that this stepmother is not reliable. She is just a rich person who despises the poor. Maybe even her biological daughter Li Jinfeng is not an easy person to deal with!
That’s right. Otherwise, as people say, if there is a stepmother, there must be a stepfather. I’m afraid this child will not have a good life in the Li family.
"Child, don't be afraid! What are Zhang Xiulan's conditions? What are her daughter's conditions? Mingcheng is a city kid, it's impossible for him to marry a country girl!" Ying Chunhua spoke to comfort Li Aiju.
At this moment, she had already imagined a scene of a stepmother abusing her stepdaughter, and her love for Li Aiju unconsciously increased.
Ying Chunhua's care did not make Li Aiju feel any better.
She herself is from the country, so Ying Chunhua's words were like casting a blanket ban on everyone.
But now is not the time to turn against each other.
"Aunt, let me help you light the torch. Don't you want to cook?" Li Aiju said with a sweet smile.
"No, you've suffered at home, and I can't let you suffer here again. Go to the main room quickly, take a rest, and eat some melon!" Ying Chunhua said.
"Okay, then I'll go first!" Li Aiju nodded.
She didn't really want to light the fire for Ying Chunhua. She didn't know how to do it at all. She had never even washed vegetables at home.
She said this just to be polite and leave a good impression on Ying Chunhua.
When they arrived at the main hall, Li Aiju moved a stool and sat next to Zhao Mingcheng.
"Brother Mingcheng, can I call you that?" Li Aiju grinned and asked with a sweet smile.
Zhao Mingcheng: "..."
"Brother Mingcheng, I heard you're from the county town? Can you tell me what the county town is like? I've been in the Licun Production Team since I was born. The farthest I've been is the Gouzi Village Production Team, where my grandmother lives. Unfortunately... my grandfather won't let me go to my grandmother's house."
Li Aiju supported her head with her hands and shared her so-called secret with Zhao Mingcheng.
Zhao Mingcheng is not a fool, Li Aiju almost fell on him.
He didn't know what to say, so he could only look at Lu Jianguo, hoping that Lu Jianguo could give him some advice.
But when he saw this, he almost died of anger.
He noticed that Lu Jianguo put his fist to his mouth to hide the smile that inadvertently leaked from the corner of his mouth.
