Yi Qingqing returned home before the factory closed for lunch and made a simple lunch.

Not long after, her parents and brother came back from get off work, and Xiaohui was brought back home, agreeing to send her back after the New Year.

Because Yi Qingqing said she wanted to make a pair of cotton shoes for them, her mother brought back some defective cloth this time.

The family had just finished their meal and were still cleaning up the dishes when Aunt Ma came over.

Yi Qingqing and her family had already prepared for this matter, so they politely asked Aunt Ma to sit down.

Yi Qingqing went to pour her a cup of warm water.

"Xianglan, I won't beat around the bush. I'm here to act as a matchmaker. You see, it's not easy for Zhigang, a grown man, to take care of a little girl. My niece Chunmei lost her husband and was driven out by her unscrupulous in-laws. She can't survive with a daughter. Although she is three years older than Zhigang, a woman three years older than her will bring wealth. You've seen these days that Chunmei is very good at taking care of children and can handle all the housework. It will definitely be worth it to marry her!"

Aunt Ma sat down and stated her purpose straight away.

As the main speaker in their family, Zhao Xianglan did not show any impatience when listening to Aunt Ma speak, and nodded from time to time, making Aunt Ma think that the matter might be settled today. Unexpectedly, as soon as Aunt Ma finished speaking, Zhao Xianglan sighed.

"I'm sorry that you're still worried about Zhigang. You know about the Liu Meili incident. It was too ugly and caused a lot of harm to our Zhigang. For the time being, I really don't feel like finding another one. Besides, we are relieved that you take care of Xiaohui normally. At other times, Zhigang learns to take care of her by himself, which is considered as taking on more responsibilities and helping him grow. So there is no need to rush for the time being and don't delay Chunmei."

That's very polite.

Although Aunt Ma felt that her niece's conditions were much worse than Yi Zhigang's, her family could accept someone with Liu Meili's conditions, so her niece's conditions were much better than that.

But she said that the previous incident was ugly and she hadn't recovered for a while, which is normal. She also said that she still trusted me to help take care of Xiaohui, which made me feel much better.

This can be said to be selfless of her. If Yi Zhigang does not remarry, she will have to take care of Xiaohui for a few more years, which will at least be an income. If it really comes true, she will suffer a loss!

Because of this matter, the daughter-in-law told her several times, both explicitly and implicitly, to stop interfering in other people's business. She only wanted to help because Chunmei was having a hard time.

Forget it, it doesn’t matter if the Yi family doesn’t agree.

Chunmei really couldn't wait. If she hadn't stopped her, she would have come to the house in person today.

So Aunt Ma stopped thinking about it: "Okay, then just pretend I never said anything about this. Zhigang is not bad in terms of talent and character. Don't let the bad guy ruin your marriage. You should plan to find another one as soon as possible. It's okay to take it slow this time, but you have to keep your eyes open!"

This was really for his own good, Yi Zhigang smiled and replied: "Don't worry, I won't be stubborn this time, my parents are here to check, I will find it if I look for it slowly."

…

Aunt Ma came to the house and left in less than twenty minutes.

The matter of Ma Chunmei was settled, and Yi Zhigang breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Xianglan looked at him and suddenly asked, "Zhigang, tell me, why does mom dislike Ma Chunmei?"

Yizi's breath, which had just been relieved, was lifted up again.

Why? Actually, he didn't quite understand. In his opinion, there was nothing wrong with Ma Chunmei.

It's just that because this was the first time in his life that he went against his family and married Liu Meili, he also thought that Liu Meili was a good person, which led to him being very insecure about his own judgment of people.

There must be something wrong with what he said.

After thinking about it for a while, he remembered the gossip his mother had mentioned when she reminded him before, and he had some idea: "Is it because the gossip was spread before the birth of the child? But it wasn't her who spread it... Mom, why? Please tell me in detail!"

Zhao Xianglan sighed. Her son never saw a bad person in his eyes. There was nothing she could do. It was all because of her, as a mother, who had not taught him well. She could only make up for it now.

"It's true that she didn't spread the gossip, but she caused it. She always carried Xiaohui outside, and when others asked her about it, she said that she liked children and got along well with Xiaohui. Who could get along well with a child for no reason? And she wasn't really rich and free, so how could she have so much time to help her relatives take care of a stranger's child? How could she be so selfless?

To put it more seriously, she might have deliberately made up this rumor, and then she might turn the tables and say that we have ruined her reputation!

If she really didn't do it on purpose and didn't have such a sinister intention, then this person has no sense of propriety and is too impatient. Moreover, her behavior of leaving her child at home is inconsistent with her behavior of loving children. The child is only 3 years old, and she can be away from home for half a month and leave the child at home. Obviously, she wants to find a new home as soon as possible rather than taking care of her own child.

Such people may not seem to have done anything wrong, but they are inferior in terms of character.

When you look for another wife, we can lower our requirements on her family background, but we cannot relax on the aspect of her character.

Ma Chunmei is not acceptable!"

Yi Zhigang listened to his mother's analysis of so many things, and they all made sense. He admired his mother, but also felt that people's hearts were too complicated. It would be great if everyone could be simple and open-minded.

"Given your good nature, I think I need to find you a girl with sharp vision and good character. This way, if you make mistakes in the future, there will be someone to guide you. You can't rely on me, your mother, to take care of you all your life." Zhao Xianglan was actually worried about this matter, but it was hard to find a good girl, especially since her son was married and had a daughter.

"Mom, isn't this what you are talking about?" Yi Zhigang scratched his head.

"..." Zhao Xianglan slapped her son on the head and said, "You wish! Even someone like me can't be attracted to you!"

"Haha!" Yi Qingqing couldn't help laughing out loud, and even gossiped to her father: "Dad, how did you win over my mom? Please share your experience with my brother!"

Yi Jianshe touched his nose, looked at his wife, and said nothing.

Zhao Xianglan waved her hand and changed the subject: "Okay, stop chatting, go back to your room and get ready. We're going to take a family photo this afternoon!"

Yi Qingqing looked at her mother, then at her father, something was wrong!

I always feel that their love story is not simple! Otherwise, why would her mother change the subject so abruptly? Isn't this a cover-up? I'm really curious!
