"Who knows? It was Aunt Qing who took the initiative to say she wanted to see her again." Huang Meijuan glanced into the room. "Did my little sister not know how to talk and made her leave in anger?"
Wang Cuilan's smile vanished, replaced by a wide, angry expression: "You little rascal, what did you say to that person just now? Didn't you say a single word of what I taught you?"
Huang Yingying was frightened when she heard her mother's tone. Wang Cuilan stormed into the house, and Huang Yingying cried out, "Mom! Mom, don't be angry! I've told him everything you told me! Really!"
"Auntie, what are you doing!"
Huang Meijuan stopped Wang Cuilan, who had somehow acquired a fire poker. Huang Meijuan thought to herself that it was a good thing she was there, otherwise her little sister would have been beaten up.
Huang Yingying sobbed, while Wang Cuilan's face grew increasingly grim.
She just didn't want Huang Meijuan to notice Huang Yingying's unusual behavior, fearing that hitting Huang Yingying would cause her to have a relapse.
"Alright, if it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out. Juanzi, you shouldn't bring these uncertain people home either, otherwise we'll have to serve them!"
Huang Meijuan meant well by acting as a matchmaker, but instead, she was met with complaints.
"I'm so sorry, Auntie. After all, you brought this up first and sent me messages several times saying that Yingying had taken a liking to someone, so I started keeping an eye out for you. I'll know what to do next time."
After Zhuangzhuang passed away, Huang Meijuan came to terms with it and resolved never to let herself suffer a loss.
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left, leaving Li Cuilan full of anger, and she raised the fire stick at Huang Yingying again.
"Mom! Mom, listen to me, I have a way, I can definitely make him marry me, please don't be angry!"
.
Li's mother suppressed her temper and walked all the way out of Huangjiazhuang before giving Li Shuxian's arm a hard pinch: "Have you gotten too big for your britches? Where did all your manners go today?!"
Li Shuxian was furious: "That girl told me that I had to take a liking to her, otherwise she would blame me for her bad reputation!"
"What's the meaning?"
"It's a matchmaking event in their village; you have to find someone you like on the first try!"
Li Shuxian stood with his hands on his hips.
Li's mother was stunned for a long time after hearing this: "She said that?"
"Yes!" Li Shuxian said, flicking his pinky finger and mimicking someone's voice, "If you come to my house today and don't make a deal with me, people in the village will definitely gossip. What will happen to my reputation?"
Li Shuxian imitated Huang Yingying's tone, sounding strange and ridiculous. Li's mother, seeing her son making a fool of himself, laughed in exasperation: "Stop making that weird face!"
Then she frowned and said, "Your father and I didn't have such rules back then. Aren't they just trying to take advantage of you?"
Compared to Huangjiazhuang, Shili Village is incredibly wealthy.
The Li family is large and prosperous, a large family that can help each other.
Li Shuxian was handsome, tall, with regular features and a good personality. In his mother's eyes, it was normal for a young girl to go crazy for her son.
"Who knows? Anyway, I don't like her. I'd be suffocated living with her."
Li Shuxian lowered his head and remained silent. Seeing this, Li's mother had no choice but to give up.
Halfway there, Li Shuxian stammered, "Mom, you said last time you were going to Bai Shiqing's house to propose marriage, is that possible?"
Upon hearing this, Li's mother's eyes lit up immediately: "You've taken a liking to her? Are you sure?"
"If I like someone, do you think they'll like me back?"
Li Shuxian was a little embarrassed and kicked a rock.
Previously, Li Shuxian thought that finding a wife was fine with anyone, but after going on a blind date today, he realized that this kind of thing really can't be settled for less.
The thought of spending his life with Huang Yingying made him want to kill himself.
Li's mother said, "What's there to look up or down about? Bai Shiqing must be worried at home right now. She dated that rascal from the Zhu family for several years, and then it all fell apart. That's when her reputation is truly ruined."
"Mom. What's that? Don't talk about her like that!"
Li Shuxian felt angry when he recalled how Zhu Shengping pinched Bai Shiqing that day. It was clearly Zhu Shengping's fault, what did it have to do with Bai Shiqing!
"You're already protecting her? You've really forgotten your mother now that you have a wife."
Seeing Li Shuxian's reaction, Li's mother thought to herself that Li Shuxian must have really taken a liking to Bai Shiqing, and she was happy.
As long as her son is willing, she is more than willing: "It's not that Mom dislikes her bad reputation, but that girl is pitiful to have met Zhu Shengping."
Li Shuxian then replied, "That's right, it has nothing to do with her."
"If you're willing, I'll send someone to their house to talk to them."
"real?"
Li Shuxian's eyes lit up.
"real!"
Li's mother also laughed.
It seems the son has finally come to his senses.
Li Shuxian casually picked a handful of leaves from the roadside and rubbed them awkwardly: "Would her family be willing to accept that?"
Bai Shiqing was beautiful, and all the young men in Shili Village wanted to curry favor with her. At that time, Bai Jiaojiao had not yet come to Shili Village, and behind her back, everyone called her the village beauty.
Back then, she had many suitors, but in the end, she ended up with Zhu Shengping. The others felt inferior and gradually gave up their pursuit and started their own families.
"Don't worry, your father has such a good reputation in the village, and you saved her last time, I'm sure this marriage will go well."
Li's mother was more confident than Li Shuxian.
These days, when looking for a partner, isn't it all about family background and character?
Her husband, Old Li, was known for his kind heart. It was said that everyone Li Shiqing helped received a handful of grain, ensuring that Li Shiqing would never starve.
This kind of family is good no matter who you look at it.
Li Shuxian felt cheerful and returned to the village with a smile on his face.
Bai Jiaojiao knew that Li Shuxian had gone on a blind date with Huang Yingying, and in her anxiety, she wanted to give it a try as well.
If this matter could be changed, there is only one person who can do it, and that is Bai Shiqing. In their previous life, the two of them were destined to be together.
After finishing work, Bai Jiaojiao went to find Bai Shiqing and said directly to her, "Second Sister, do you know that Brother Shuxian went on a blind date with the girl from Huangjiazhuang?"
"What does this have to do with me?" Bai Shiqing didn't know why, but her mind was in turmoil when she heard about this. "He can go on blind dates with whoever he wants."
"No, Second Sister, I only came to tell you because you seem to be getting quite close to him..."
"Who's getting close to him?"
Didn't he bring you canned food last time?
"That was... "
"Second sister, none of that matters. I heard that Meijuan's cousin is sick, and her family won't pay for treatment. They're in a hurry to find her a husband and dump her, and get a dowry in return."
"What?" Bai Shiqing raised her voice immediately. "Are there really such heartless families? Do you even know what disease they have?"
“I don’t know, I just heard it from someone else. Brother Shuxian has been kind to our family, we can’t let him take on such a huge mess. This disease is the most expensive thing, it will not only empty our savings, but Brother Shuxian’s whole family will also suffer.”
