Chapter 46 Marry Him
Li Cuiyan was overjoyed and smiled all the way to the Youth Courtyard. "Qianqian, Uncle Pei said he likes a daughter-in-law like me!"
She pulled Su Qianqian to talk quietly in the yard and asked excitedly, "What should I do next?"
"You must continue to please Pei Huaiye's parents and surpass Su Qingyue's image in their hearts."
Li Cuiyan nodded. When they finished chatting and she was about to go home, Su Qianqian gave her the red cloth for the veil and a box of vanishing cream. "Cuiyan, this box of vanishing cream is for you. It's the Friendship brand. You should take good care of it. Wear a headscarf to cover your face when you go out to avoid getting tanned. Make me a red veil with the red cloth and embroider a picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water."
"Qianqian, I don't feel comfortable saying this. You've been so nice to me." Li Cuiyan was so moved that her eyes were filled with tears.
Su Qianqian said generously, "We are all friends, why should we be so formal? I also asked you to embroider my veil, we are helping each other."
Back at the Li family, Wang Juqin looked Li Cuiyan up and down, "Yanzi, where have you been? You didn't even cook. I picked a basket of vegetables in the backyard. Did you see it?"
Li Cuiyan's eyes dodged and she lied softly, "Mom, I went to the Youth Hostel and gave the vegetables to Su Qianqian. She said she had a way to get me to marry Pei Huaiye."
With a clang.
Li Yongtie slammed the bowl to the ground. "Pei Huaiye didn't even look at you. Why do you keep trying to please someone you don't like? If you don't mind being embarrassed, my Chen family will!"
Wang Juqin also advised: "And that Su Qianqian is not only dishonest but also bad. How did you get together with her? Su Qianqian and Su Qingyue don't get along. The fact that she stole someone else's fiancé has caused a lot of uproar in the village. You better not associate with her!"
Li Cuiyan burst into tears, "Dad, Mom, I like Pei Huaiye and I will never marry anyone else in my life!"
She cried with snot and tears, "If Pei Huaiye hadn't heroically rescued the beauty and driven away the wolves when I went up the mountain to pick grass for pigs when I was a child, I would have been eaten. He is my benefactor, and I just want to marry him!"
Li Yongtie's old face turned red with shame, and he pointed at Li Cuiyan's nose and cursed: "What do you mean by a hero saving a beautiful girl? Pei was only thirteen years old at the time, and he drove away the wolves at the entrance of the cave by himself. You happened to be picking grass for pigs nearby at that time. Don't flatter yourself by saying that he saved you. He didn't even know your name!"
"In my heart he is a hero! He is a good man! I just like him and why can't I marry him!" Li Cuiyan cried hysterically.
Wang Juqin twisted Li Cuiyan's ear, "We don't like you! We don't want you! You can't enter the Pei family's gate! Why are you shouting now? Do you want the whole village to laugh at us?"
Li Cuiyan kowtowed to her parents like crazy, "Dad, Mom, I can enter the Pei family. As long as I treat his family well, his parents will definitely agree to let me marry him!"
"His parents and he have never gotten along well. If you could really marry him, you would suffer every day."
"Mom, I'm not afraid of hardship. I beg you, please help my daughter!" Li Cuiyan's forehead was broken and blood was oozing out.
Li Yongtie was so angry that his hands were shaking. He picked up a broom and was about to hit someone. Wang Juqin stopped him and asked, "Why are you hitting her?"
She turned around and supported Li Cuiyan, "Silly girl! Pei Fugui and his wife are sarcastic and mean, don't jump into the fire pit yourself! There is no way they will let you enter the Pei family."
"Mom, if I can find a way to get the Pei family to propose marriage, will you and Dad agree to me?" Li Cuiyan burst into tears and choked while hugging Wang Juqin.
Wang Juqin smoothed the hair by her ears, her eyes reddened, "Okay, if you have the ability to get the Pei family to propose marriage, we will agree to it, but before they propose marriage, you must be careful about your reputation, and don't do anything reckless in public!"
Li Yongtie was so angry that he couldn't eat his meal. He threw his chopsticks down, sighed, and went to work in the fields.
Li Gousheng, who was hiding at the door, was so scared that he shrank his head and ran away.
Every day after work, Li Cuiyan would pick a lot of vegetables from the fields without telling her parents and send them to Pei Fugui.
Not only that, she also went to other people's homes, massaged Chen Lianzhen's legs and cooked for her, helped Zhang Dongmei wash clothes, and served the Pei family very well.
After Li Cuiyan left, Chen Lianzhen smiled slyly, "This little girl is quite sensible. This vegetable is not bad. Sprinkle some water on it and take it to the team tomorrow morning."
Zhang Dongmei held her belly and smiled, "Mom is still good at managing life. But our family was criticized by the team leader last time, so we should be less careful this time. By the way, mom, do you really want to let Li Cuiyan marry into our family?"
Chen Lianzhen quickly supported her daughter-in-law, "Don't work too hard while you're pregnant. This girl is not a sneaky person. It's good for her to marry in. She'll have one more person to help earn work points."
Zhang Dongmei lowered her voice and said, "Mom, I heard Huai Gang say before that my eldest brother seemed to like Su Qingyue. He said he sent her a pheasant and they even had a tryst by the river."
Chen Lianzhen was extremely surprised. "No wonder they didn't give us the pheasant last time. It turned out that Su Qingyue, that vixen, ate it all! Such a bad woman cannot enter our Pei family!"
Zhang Dongmei's eyes curved, "Mom, you are right, Cuiyan is honest and filial, Su Qingyue is capable and beautiful but our family cannot control her. If she really marries big brother, big brother's salary will be taken away from her in the future... " "That's not possible! Your big brother's salary must be handed over!" Chen Lianzhen touched Zhang Dongmei's belly, "We are still waiting for your big brother to give us money, so that we can give our grandson a good supplement!"
"Thank you, mother. You are right. I cannot work too hard now that I am pregnant. If Cuiyan comes to our house, she can help me. If Su Qingyue marries us, I am afraid we will have to serve her. I heard that she does not work in the fields when she returns to the Su family."
Chen Lianzhen just shook her head, "That won't do. A daughter-in-law is supposed to serve her parents-in-law!"
Zhang Dongmei's eyes rolled. "My eldest brother is cold and stubborn. He definitely doesn't want to marry Li Cuiyan. Mother and father should discuss arranging this marriage for him first. When he returns from his business trip, the matter will be settled. Even if the engagement is cancelled, I'm afraid the Su family will not be willing to marry their daughter to him again."
"That makes sense. I'll go discuss it with your father."
The next morning, people in Shuangshui Village were harvesting vegetables at the threshing ground.
Zhang Dongmei and Chen Lianzhen handed the vegetables that had been sprinkled with water the day before to Li Zilan's team, but Li Zilan refused, "These are obviously not vegetables picked this morning. The roots don't look fresh, and they've been sprinkled with water. Take them away."
"What nonsense! These are the vegetables I picked this morning. Why don't you collect them?"
Zhang Dongmei spoke loudly and Chen Lianzhen also joined in. Su Qingyue hurried over. She took a look and it was obvious that they were not fresh vegetables, and they had done this several times.
Thinking of how Chen Lianzhen had hit Pei Huaiye with a cane, her tone and attitude were not very gentle.
Su Qingyue said seriously, "Aunt, did you pick these vegetables a day in advance and sprinkle them with water? They are wilted now. If we send them to the Hongqi Supply and Marketing Cooperative and they refuse to accept them, it will damage the reputation of our entire brigade. They will say that we are cheating and will not cooperate with our village in the future."
When everyone heard this, they all blamed Chen Lianzhen and Zhang Dongmei.
"You are such a shameless person. You have been caught doing this twice before and you still don't change. What if this brings trouble to our entire village?"
"Didn't Captain Xiang say that if you cheat more than three times, you won't be able to order food from this restaurant? This is already the third time!"
"Captain, fire them! Don't accept their food!"
"Yes! Fire them! They don't want to make money but we do!"
