He Bixia thought it was something serious, but it turns out it's nothing! It's easy to handle!
So he smiled, pushed Zou Yu's hand away, and said, "That's easy. Are you leaving tomorrow? Why don't you have your uncle help you move it later? I'm afraid Chen Chunfeng won't let us move it after you leave tomorrow. As for the money, we don't need to pay. It's just a small favor."
Zou Yu still insisted on handing the money to He Bixia, saying earnestly, "Auntie, I know you mean well, but I still have to give you the money. I don't know when I'll take it back; I guess it'll be when I get married for the second time."
Seeing that she insisted, He Bixia stopped making excuses.
"Don't worry, Auntie will definitely find a good one for you and won't let Chen Chunfeng take it away. You should also take it easy, who knows, the next one might be even better. If Auntie finds someone suitable, she'll introduce you to them."
Zou Yu shook her head and smiled helplessly, "I appreciate your kindness, Auntie, but who would want a divorced woman like me? I'd only be a stepmother, which I don't want. So being single is fine too. One person can eat their fill and the whole family won't go hungry."
He Bixia then had something to say. She pulled Zou Yu down to sit and said seriously, "Xiao Yu, let me tell you, even if we don't fight for the steamed buns, we should fight for our pride. Look, Xu Weiming will definitely be back with his new wife soon. You can't fall too far behind, lest he think you still can't let him go!"
"No, I don't have any feelings for him now. I just can't bear to part with you kind aunties. You're much better than my ex-mother-in-law. Why did I choose such a family? I just happened to pick a bad apple."
Zou Yu genuinely thought so too. Back then, several male classmates pursued her, but she was blinded by her own thoughts and chose the most heartless one.
He Bixia smiled knowingly, slapped her thigh, and whispered to Zou Yu, "If you don't mind remarrying and coming to our village, I happen to have someone in mind. Shall I tell you about it?"
"Auntie, what are you saying? I just got divorced, I'm not in the mood for that." Zou Yu didn't dare to find a partner at this critical juncture. Xu Weiming was shameless and didn't care about his reputation, but she still had some self-respect!
"Oh, I'm so anxious. Here's what we'll do: wait a while, until things have calmed down, and then I'll introduce you to someone." He Bixia actually had someone in mind: her husband's nephew, Xu Yaoping.
This isn't about deliberately setting a bad example for his nephew by introducing him to a divorced woman; it's just that Xu Yaoping has an extra finger on one hand, which makes him less attractive in the dating market, and people are always worried that this might be passed on to their children.
He's almost twenty-five and hasn't even dated anyone. His sister-in-law is getting really worried. She says that even if he just looks for someone, he can definitely find one, but life has to be comfortable. After all, life is so long, and it's not a long-term solution to dislike each other.
Moreover, Zou Yu is beautiful and tall, and now she has an extra sum of money. Xu Yaoping is even climbing the social ladder!
No, she needs to talk to her sister-in-law about this as soon as possible, lest someone beat her to it.
So, after seeing Zou Yu off, He Bixia immediately went to her sister-in-law's house.
"Sister-in-law, are you home? I need to talk to you about something. Can we talk in your room?" As soon as He Bixia entered Xu Yaoping's house, she pulled Huang Lancao into the house.
"No, what's so mysterious that you can't tell me here?" Huang Lancao's hand was pulled painfully. This sister-in-law was still so strong, she didn't know to be gentle.
He Bixia ignored her complaints, turned around and locked the door, then leaned close to Huang Lancao and whispered, "Oh dear, it's all about Yaoping. I have a good prospect here, do you want to hear about her?"
"What? Finding a partner for Yaoping? Tell me quickly! It's always good that you, as his aunt, are so concerned. Don't worry, if it really works out, you'll definitely get a red envelope." Huang Lancao's face immediately lit up with a satisfied smile when she heard that it was about her youngest son's marriage.
He Bixia glanced at her sister-in-law and gave her a heads-up beforehand, "Let me make this clear from the start: I'm just offering a suggestion. Whether you like it or not is your decision, so don't blame me!"
"Oh, just tell me, how else can I blame you?"
Hearing this, He Bixia pursed her lips and said, "Then I'll talk about it. I'm talking about Zou Yu, Chen Chunfeng's former daughter-in-law. You know, she lives next door to me."
Huang Lancao was furious when she heard this. Was her aunt deliberately trying to slander her? No matter how bad Yaoping was, he was still her nephew. Why did she have to introduce him to a divorced man?
But she still had her senses and didn't shout it out. She just replied in a rough voice, "This won't do. Yaoping has never been married before, but Zou Yu is a divorcee. Besides, it's not suitable, really not suitable. Why did you introduce such a person to me?"
Towards the end, his tone inevitably carried a hint of complaint.
He Bixia understood, but she wasn't angry. She patted Huang Lancao's hand and comforted her, "Sister-in-law, listen to me first. Yaoping is also my nephew. How could I possibly cheat him?"
"You've introduced so many women to Yaoping, haven't they all fallen through in the end?"
“But you can’t find a divorced woman, that would be too unfair to Yaoping!” Huang Lancao retorted before He Bixia could finish speaking. She loved her son dearly and always wanted to find him a suitable wife, so she couldn’t let him suffer.
He Bixia glanced at him and said, "What's your rush? Let me finish! Just tell me, besides being a divorcee, what about Zou Yu is unworthy of Yaoping?"
Huang Lancao opened her mouth as if to say something, but after going through it in her mind, she really couldn't find any faults with Zou Yu. She couldn't say anything against her conscience, so she could only lower her head and remain silent.
He Bixia continued, "Besides, Zou Yu and Yaoping are classmates, so they know each other well. Moreover, Zou Yu received three thousand in compensation in her divorce this time. You still don't like her? She's a hot commodity now!"
"Having money is one thing, but living a good life isn't just about money!" Although Huang Lancao was also envious of the money, she still felt that her son's happiness was the most important thing.
“Alright, from now on Yaoping will be in charge. Call Yaoping over. I just saw him tending the fire. Have him come over so I can ask him something.”
Huang Lancao thought it made sense, so she went out and brought Xu Yaoping in.
"Mom, what are you doing! I still need to start the fire!" Xu Yaoping followed in reluctantly. He hadn't seen Xiaoyu all day and didn't know how she was doing. He didn't dare to go to her, since they had agreed not to see each other for a while.
"Keep the fire going, you can keep the fire going for the rest of your life, you're not in a hurry at all." Huang Lancao pinched the flesh on his waist hard. This stubborn man is just like his father, she has to worry about everything.
"Ouch, Mom, why are you twisting me? It hurts, you know?" Xu Yaoping looked at his mother with dissatisfaction, not understanding why she suddenly got angry.
