The old man and the third child looked at Huang Rou's parents. What were they doing here? Weren't they forced to leave this morning? Why did they become so courageous that they sent their parents?
"Uncle, where is your home?" Huang Rou's father began to chat with the old man.
The other person's attitude was quite friendly, and the old man chatted with Huang Rou's father in a random manner.
After chatting for a while, Huang Rou's father turned the topic to his daughter. "My daughter has a miserable life. She married a man who died young. Her children don't even get close to her now. Her in-laws don't tolerate her. Our family is poor, and our sons and daughters-in-law can't tolerate our daughter living there permanently. Sigh!"
"When your daughter got married, was the man in good health?" If they were not thinking about Li Xingguo, the old man would definitely go along with their chatter. But now they are playing the victim in front of him, the old man has seen all kinds of people and will not buy it at all.
Huang Rou's father gave a wry smile and said, "It wasn't very good when I got married, but I didn't expect it to be this way these past few years."
"That's because you had some agenda towards her. You married her voluntarily, so how can you blame your fate? When you married her, you should have thought about your current situation and left yourself a way out."
The old man's words made Huang Rou's parents embarrassed. How could he speak like that?
"That's not the case. We figured we could live for at least eight or ten years," Huang Rou's father explained reluctantly.
"Eight or ten years is not as good as now. At least you girls are still young," the old man said bluntly.
Huang Rou's father stared blankly, not knowing how to respond.
Huang Rou's mother spoke softly, "Uncle, we think your Xingguo and our daughter are quite suitable. They are both first-marriages, and my daughter can't take her child with her, which is equivalent to having no child at all. This way, a first marriage is no different from a first marriage. My daughter's reputation was a bit bad when she saved Xingguo last time, so we are not likely to look for him in the future."
"Your daughter has never been married and never looked for a husband. Did she look for a husband after saving someone? Everyone praises your daughter for her bravery and wants to learn from her, so why is her reputation not tolerated? Where did this rumor come from?" the old man asked with his eyes wide open.
Huang Rou's parents had just arrived, so they just said whatever their daughter asked them to say. How could they know if anyone said anything or who said it?
"Then saving people can't be in vain, right?" Huang Rou's father said unwillingly.
"Uncle Huang, that snake was not poisonous at all. Your daughter would not die if you didn't save her. If it was poisonous, she would have sucked it and both of them would have been poisoned. Li Xingguo would have had to pay for her medical expenses. There are doctors here, and they wouldn't have saved her like that," the third brother couldn't help but say.
"Shut up! If you can't speak, just sew your mouth shut." The old man scolded the third brother. No matter what, they had saved someone, and saying such things made them seem mean and heartless.
"You kid, my daughter saved someone and made a mistake. I don't ask for your gratitude, but you can't talk to her like that. A big..." Huang Rou's father wanted to say something about the big girl, but then thought, "A woman sucks a man's legs. If she doesn't listen to what he says, her reputation will be ruined. Li Xingguo should bear some responsibility."
"Well, there's nothing wrong with us talking here. Let's go find the leader and see how he thinks Li Xingguo should repay his kindness. What do you think?" The old man suggested that it was inappropriate for them to scold others. They had saved you, and it was a bit ungrateful.
Huang Rou's mother and father looked at each other, not knowing whether Huang Rou should go. Huang Rou did not tell them to go find the leader.
"Their reputation is ruined, so why would they just get married? Why would they bother looking for the leader?"
"Li Xingguo already has a wife at home. Just because your girl sucked his legs, he can get married again? I'll ask the leaders if your policy here is different, so men can still marry concubines."
Huang Rou's parents... "Didn't they say Li Xingguo was divorced?"
"Can't we remarry after divorce?" the old man asked back.
"How is that possible? Then why get a divorce?" Huang Rou's mother felt that it was impossible and it was no joke.
"She's pregnant, why not remarry? Why does remarriage have to be announced nationwide on the news broadcast?"
"Well, well, well, why didn't Li Xingguo's wife come to see him?" Huang Rou's father felt that the old man was lying to him.
"He's at home in confinement after childbirth, how come he can come? His wife and children are waiting for him to come home to reunite with them."
