Li Hongyan said that it was Zhao Pengfei himself who disliked the girl and dumped her because she had all kinds of problems.

But the villagers, when they talked about Zhao Pengfei behind his back, all said that time reveals a person's true character. It was the girl from the city who despised Zhao Pengfei because he had nothing but a good-looking face and was just an idle unemployed vagrant.

Li Hongyan is a very face-conscious person and hates being looked down upon the most. If the relationship that Zhao Pengfei is dating fails again, she will not be able to hold her head up in the village.

"You are already 28, when are you going to pick one?"

Zhao Pengfei saw that his mother was anxious, so he winked at her and said, "Mom, it's okay. She can't run away. She can't wait to marry me."

Li Hongyan was confused: "What do you mean?"

Zhao Faliang also looked over and said, "Pengfei, what's going on? Tell me."

Zhao Pengfei kept it a secret for a long time before he said with a smile, "She's already pregnant. If she doesn't marry me, who will she marry?"

"What? Pregnant? Ouch!" Li Hongyan slapped her thigh with joy, and said happily: "I have a grandson."

Zhao Faliang also smiled, which was rare.

Li Hongyan's face was flushed: "Then there's no need for the betrothal gift or anything like that, right?"

Zhao Pengfei said: "Mom, we still have to accept it, but we just need to go through the formalities and let her relatives know that our family also paid a betrothal gift to marry her, and she will bring the betrothal gift back later."

"Will this work? Does her family agree?" Li Hongyan didn't believe it.

If the money goes into the pocket of the girl's parents and the girl gets married, will her parents be willing to take out the money?

"Doesn't she have a brother?"

Generally speaking, if a girl has a son, she can forget about getting a dowry when she gets married, because the dowry will be left for the son to spend. Especially if the girl has a younger brother, the dowry will definitely be left for the younger brother to marry a wife.

"Yes, her brother is five years older than her and has been married a long time ago." Zhao Pengfei said, patting his chest.

Since Zhao Pengfei said so, Li Hongyan believed it: "That's fine. After the 15th, I will ask a matchmaker to go to her house to discuss this matter and quickly arrange your lifelong event."

This finally puts her mind at ease.

Zhao Faliang also nodded: "If her family makes any excessive demands, our family should not say anything, just come back. Now it's not that our family can't afford it, it's her family who can't afford it. If she gets married when she's pregnant, she will be laughed at."

Zhao Faliang rarely speaks, and this was the most he spoke.

Li Hongyan originally let her son get a girl from an older family pregnant in order to save some money on the bride price.

"Yes, your father is right."

She thought so too.

Zhao Pengfei also nodded. This was his plan as well, so he was not in a hurry.

Zhao Pengbo and Zhao Pengle were in the house, one reading a book and the other playing playing cards, when they heard the discussion of their parents and eldest brother in the yard.

You look at me and I look at you.

Both of them were educated people who were studying in universities. Knowing this, it seemed a bit despicable. However, Zhao Pengbo thought in his heart that it takes two to tango. Pregnancy is not just a man's business. If the girl didn't want to, she wouldn't end up in such a dilemma.

Zhao Pengle felt a little uncomfortable, but since this was his elder brother's business, he couldn't say anything, so he continued to play his poker cards.

Her son's marriage was settled, a sure thing. Li Hongyan suddenly felt relaxed and had endless energy.

The next day, the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, she secretly rode her bicycle back to her parents' home.

As a result, the only people seen were her father Li Pingwang sweeping the yard, and her younger sister Li Hongxia.

"Where's the third brother? Is he still playing cards in the village?" Li Hongyan asked after parking her bicycle.

Li Pingwang was still sweeping the yard and said casually, "He left early in the morning to go to work."

"What? He's gone?" Li Hongyan widened her eyes in shock. It was only eight o'clock and he ran away so early in the morning.

What a loser! He doesn't even consider whether the little salary he earns outside is enough to get a share of the tens of thousands of dollars in property from their mother. What a waste.

"Sister, what do you want from our third brother?" Li Hongxia knew that her elder sister was full of schemes, and her face lost its good expression.

Li Hongyan snorted and rolled her eyes at her.

She knew that her two twin sisters were now living a carefree life after Li Hongli's divorce, dating all day long and leaving their several-month-old children to be taken care of by their mother Chen Xiaoying.

As for my younger sister, she has a formal job in a library and can receive a pension. Her mother also bought her a house. She dresses decently and neatly every day and can receive a salary.

No one takes her as the eldest sister seriously.

"It's okay." She said. She wouldn't tell her anything even if there was something wrong. This little sister was just a messenger. If she overheard anything, she would definitely tell their mother.

Li Hongxia said nothing and continued to sweep the garbage into the bucket.

"Have you eaten? There's still rice in the pot." Li Pingwang greeted Li Hongyan.

"I've eaten, Dad." Li Hongyan sighed and sat down on a chair nearby.

Suddenly she felt tired again. Why was there so many things to do and nothing going her way?

Li Hongyan looked dejected, as if she had suffered a blow. Her father Li Pingwang stopped sweeping the floor in surprise and asked, "What's wrong? Why do you look like this?"

Li Hongxia also looked over.

Li Hongyan's eyes turned red, and she quickly thought of a solution: "Dad, I really don't know how I offended my mom. Why does she dislike me so much? Woo woo."

She actually started crying.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Li Pingwang was so anxious that he threw down the broom and said, "She said that about you again? What right did she have to say that about you?"

"She is a mother, but she doesn't think about her children all day long. She only knows how to criticize you. Is she that thick-skinned?"

"Dad, mom, mom just hates me for asking you for money in the past, but I had no choice at that time. I can't drag my three sons to beg for food." Li Hongyan cried and sobbed, feeling very wronged: "Why didn't you marry me to that man in the first place? Who would go?"

Thinking about what happened in the past, she still feels unconvinced.

Li Hongxia didn't understand. Who was that?

Li Pingwang frowned: "You are the one who dislikes Erdan for having a sickly mother. It's your own will, Zhao Faliang."

Li Hongxia's eyes suddenly widened. Her elder sister was about to have a grandchild, but she was actually bringing up the matter of her marriage when she was young.

She regretted it.

"Dad, what's going on?" she couldn't help but ask.

She was not born yet when her elder sister Li Hongyan got married, so she knew nothing.

Li Pingwang was quick to speak and told the story of the past: "There was a man named Erdan in our village before, oh, that's his nickname, he also came to our house to propose marriage, but because his mother was in poor health, your elder sister didn't want to come in and serve her mother-in-law. Your brother-in-law is tall and big, and your parents-in-law are in good health, too, so they can help her, so your sister was willing."

"But, hey, who knew that his luck was so bad? Erdan's mother died within two years. He started to learn how to do business with others. Now he is very rich. He bought a house in the city. His children are all working in public institutions. What's wrong with your eldest sister..."

I regret it.

"Dad, stop talking." Li Hongyan said unhappily. She didn't mean she regretted it by saying this.

The man was dark, thin and short, only half as tall as Tuxingsun in the Investiture of the Gods, and had a big mole on his mouth that looked like rat droppings.

She doesn't care about him no matter how rich he is. She said this to make her parents feel guilty so that they can find ways to make it up to her, not to embarrass her!
