At around nine o'clock the next day, Chen Zhaodi brought Cai Gangqiang's mother Huang Qiuju, Cai Gangqiang's six sisters and Cai Gangqiang to Li's house.
They said they were discussing marriage, but it felt like something completely different.
Li Ailan was waiting in the yard early in the morning.
She had dressed herself up very cleanly, without a speck of mud on her body. Her two braids were neatly tied, and even the cloth shoes on her feet were barely stained with mud.
In fact, Li Ailan wanted something even better, so she went to Huang Yu's house to borrow clam oil and a silk scarf.
Huang Yu ruthlessly rejected her. Huang Yu still remembered the clam oil that was ruined by Li Ailan last time. She swore to herself that if she lent anything to Li Ailan again, she would be a pig!
Li Ailan didn't borrow what she wanted and was very angry. If she hadn't been afraid that the Cai family would come and see her, she would have quarreled with Huang Yu.
As soon as Huang Qiuju followed Chen Zhaodi into the Li family's courtyard, she saw Li Ailan.
Chen Zhaodi waved to Li Ailan, "Ailan, come here and take a look. This is Gangqiang's mother, your future mother-in-law!"
Li Ailan stared at Huang Qiuju from head to toe, and after looking at her, she felt a little disgusted.
Li Ailan is a mysophobe and cannot stand herself or others being dirty.
Cai Gangqiang was fine. Every time he came to see her, he was clean and there was no mud on him.
These are all thanks to Huang Qiuju, the mother. She helps Cai Gangqiang with laundry and boiling water every day. When it is her turn, Huang Qiuju is not so particular.
Even when she came to the Li family to discuss marriage, she was dressed in an ordinary way.
Her clothes were a little dirty, her shoes were black, and even her long hair was tied up a little casually.
While Li Ailan was looking at Huang Qiuju, Huang Qiuju was also looking at Li Ailan.
She was also not satisfied with Li Ailan.
It looked like such an unremarkable girl, yet she made the Cai family pay such a huge amount of betrothal gifts.
Not to mention Cai Gangqiang's six sisters. This is not their first time visiting the Li family, and they all have more or less hostility towards the Li family.
Li Ailan didn't say anything for a long time, so Chen Zhaodi coughed at her and said, "Ailan, are you so happy to see your future mother-in-law that you don't know what to call her? Why don't you call her Aunt Cai first, and then call her Mom after the wedding date is set and the engagement is paid?"
Li Ailan didn't even go down the stairs, but asked Cai Gangqiang, "Is this your mother?"
Cai Gangqiang nodded, "Yes, this is my mother!"
After saying that, he looked at Huang Qiuju again, "Mom, this is Ailan!"
The two people ignored each other.
For a moment, the atmosphere was extremely strange. Chen Zhaodi hurriedly said, "Don't stand outside. Come inside. Let's talk about what we have to say inside!"
After Chen Zhaodi finished speaking, she shouted, "Uncle, come out quickly! The Cai family is here!"
Because of Li Ailan's marriage, no one in the Li family went to work.
Everyone was waiting at home for the Cai family to arrive.
Hearing Chen Zhaodi's voice, Li Fuman led the Li family members out.
The fact that Old Lady Li and Li Qiushu were also there showed how much importance Li Fuman attached to this matter.
"Please come in quickly!" Li Fuman said politely.
Huang Qiuju called her daughters and Cai Gangqiang into the house.
After they went in, Zhao Meixia tugged at the sleeves of Li Jinfeng and Huang Yu, and whispered in a voice heard only by the three of them: "My mother told me that Huang Qiuju, Cai Gangqiang's mother, is not someone to be trifled with!"
