Zhao Lingdang is a good person in every way, there's nothing to criticize. But when it comes to her, Liu Guilan feels that her son has wronged her, after all, the second son is divorced and has three children.
But there are other things to consider when it comes to daily life.
If you really have to live the mundane realities of daily life together, your feelings will wear away, and you'll end up as a resentful couple...
The second daughter had already been through an unhappy marriage, and she was terrified of going through it again.
Ye Weiwei smiled and said, "With the money from the family division and the two hundred yuan from a few days ago, Second Brother should be able to afford to marry a wife and support his family for three or four years if he's frugal."
Liu Guilan sighed, "If the couple had been careful with their money, it would have taken them six or seven years, let alone three or four."
Those two kids are both capable; they're not just sitting around with their money and living off it all.
Ye Weiwei said, "Then there's nothing to worry about. I think our country will definitely change a lot in a few years. When the policies are better, there will be plenty of opportunities to make money by starting a small business. You don't need to worry about them not being able to support their families."
Liu Guilan was so frightened that she quickly looked out the window. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the door was closed. "Weiwei, don't go around saying that. Doing business these days can get you arrested!"
"Is it true that what you just said, that national policies will improve in a few years?"
Ye Weiwei said with absolute certainty, "It's true. The country can't go on like this forever. We need to develop the economy and cultivate talent to prosper. If things continue like this, people won't have enough to eat, and how will we build our motherland?"
Liu Guilan understood and felt that Ye Weiwei's words made sense and were particularly convincing.
She just felt that Ye Weiwei was very lucky, not only herself but also bringing good fortune to those around her, so listening to her was definitely the right thing to do.
"Alright, Mother will listen to you. I'll find a matchmaker tomorrow to pick an auspicious day and go to Zhao Dayong's house to propose marriage."
Since both children are interested and Weiwei agrees, let's get things done quickly.
She's from the man's family after all; she should take the initiative in these matters.
Before Liu Guilan could even go to the matchmaker to propose marriage the next day, Zhao Dayong showed up at her door the very next morning.
When Liu Guilan opened the door in the morning, she was startled to see Zhao Dayong standing outside. After letting him in and hearing Zhao Dayong's purpose, she was both amused and exasperated.
Zhao Dayong came to propose marriage to Zhao Lingdang.
“Auntie, Lingdang is such a good child. It’s been my fault as her father all these years. I’ve been a burden to her. Don’t worry, as long as you agree to the marriage of the two children, I promise that our family will never be a burden to her again. Da Niu is already 12 years old, and Xiao Niu is almost 10. The two boys can work now, so they won’t starve.”
Liu Guilan was surprised that Zhao Dayong would take the initiative to visit her for Zhao Lingdang's sake, and she felt more satisfied with this person who was about to become her in-law.
Ever since she learned that he had heard that Zhao Lingdang had been bullied and had grabbed a kitchen knife to fight Lu Mingcai's family, she felt that Zhao Dayong wasn't as cowardly as the rumors suggested.
“Brother Dayong, what are you saying? What do you mean by being a burden? Lingdang is your daughter. She is filial to you, so it is only right that she helps out at home. As long as the young couple can live a good life together in the future, things will gradually get better.”
Zhao Dayong was mentally prepared to be kicked out by Liu Guilan, so he was stunned when he heard what Liu Guilan said.
"Her aunt, you...you agree to this?"
Liu Guilan: "To be honest, even if you hadn't come today, I was planning to find a matchmaker and go to your house to propose marriage."
Zhao Dayong wiped his face and said happily, "Why bother with all that? No need, no need."
Liu Guilan: "No, that won't do. Lingdang is a good girl. Although my second son is remarried, I can't let her suffer. Don't worry about that."
Zhao Dayong was even happier when he heard this.
He knew that Liu Guilan was a reasonable person, and that Lingdang would definitely not be mistreated after marrying into the family.
After seeing Zhao Dayong off, Liu Guilan tidied herself up, changed her clothes, and went to find the matchmaker.
No one knows who had such a big mouth, but the matchmaker had just left Zhao Dayong's house and hadn't even arrived at Huo's house yet, and the villagers had already spread the word that Huo Jiang was going to propose marriage to Zhao Lingdang.
Aunt Zhou still didn't believe it and came over to ask Liu Guilan if it was true, just as the matchmaker entered the house.
The matchmaker said that the Zhao family had agreed.
Liu Guilan gave the matchmaker a packet of brown sugar as a running fee, which made the matchmaker so happy that she said a lot of nice things about her.
The Lunar New Year is just around the corner, and we're really short of this at home.
After the matchmaker left, Aunt Zhou said, "Do you really want the second son to marry Lingdang?"
Liu Guilan glanced at Aunt Zhou, "They've already hired a matchmaker, how could it be fake?"
Aunt Zhou sighed, "It's good. It's a blessing for Lingdang to marry into your family."
Back when she was looking for a wife for her third son, she had considered Lingdang, but before she could even send someone to propose, something happened to the Zhao family, and the marriage naturally fell through.
She also thought highly of Lingdang; she was responsible, capable, and filial, much better than her own family's shallow-minded son. If it weren't for that large family dragging them down...
Liu Guilan didn't expose her old friend's little scheme: "When I come over for the wedding, I'll definitely need your help with everything."
Aunt Zhou readily agreed, "Just call me."
Ye Weiwei has been very busy these past few days. This is her first New Year here, and she wanted to prepare properly, but she couldn't find an opportunity to take out the things from her space.
Just when Ye Weiwei was troubled by this, Fang Ming brought her some good news.
Huo Xiao's former military leader arranged a job for him, saying that the transportation team needed a captain, with a salary of forty-seven yuan a month, as well as various ticket subsidies and welfare subsidies for long-distance driving. He asked Huo Xiao if he would take the job.
Huo Xiao looked at Ye Weiwei, who told him to make his own decision.
There was a lot going on at the end of the year, and they were short-staffed, so Huo Xiao went to report for duty that day. He needed to familiarize himself with the work process before the new year, which would take about two or three days.
This gave Ye Weiwei the perfect opportunity.
So, as soon as Huo Xiao left, Ye Weiwei took advantage of Xiao Xingxing's absence to start moving things out of her spatial storage.
First, she filled the rice and flour bins in her house. Then, she took out a basket of apples, a basket of sweet pears, and a large bag of oranges from her storage space. After thinking for a while, she also conjured up several golden pumpkins and several green-skinned winter melons.
These are easier to store than other vegetables, and can be used in stir-fries, soups, or buns.
She also prepared a big bag of candies, cookies, melon seeds, peanuts, and the like.
As for the other items, Ye Weiwei thought about it and decided not to take them out. She could say that the rice, flour, and fruit were bought from town, but the others were harder to explain.
After all, the things sold at the Qingshan Town Supply and Marketing Cooperative are always the same few items.
