Chapter 239 Li Shuangshuang's Marriage
Xu's mother took it and wrapped ten meat buns in oil paper for Li Shuangshuang.
Li Shuangshuang quickly refused and turned away.
Xu's mother held her back and said, "Shuangshuang, these buns are for your two daughters. Don't leave yet. I have something to ask you."
"Aunt, if you have something to say, just tell me. I can't take this bun."
"What? You gave me eggs, so we have to take them. I gave your kids some buns, but you don't want to take them. Then take your things too."
"Auntie, you..."
"Take it." Xu's mother pulled Li Shuangshuang to sit in a quiet corner where they could see the stall and no one would notice them.
Xu's mother asked, "Shuangshuang, after your divorce, have you been promised to marry someone else?"
"No."
"You are already over twenty, then."
"yes."
"If you don't get married after you turn 20, will the government arrange a marriage for you?"
Li Shuangshuang pursed her lips. She didn't think about this problem. Since the people from the yamen hadn't come to her house yet, she didn't care. She didn't want to get married again in the next few years, but the law was there and she had to obey it.
She was thinking of waiting for the people from the government office to come to her house before talking about it. But when this matter was suddenly brought up, she didn't know. If she ran into someone like Liu Zhaocai again, wouldn't she be jumping into the fire pit again?
Li Shuangshuang smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Auntie."
Xu's mother smiled and said, "Shuangshuang, what do you think of...my Xu Yang?"
Li Shuangshuang was stunned.
"My eldest daughter-in-law died of illness a few years ago, leaving behind a pair of children. The eldest son has not talked about marriage since then, and he is not a child anymore. I think you are a down-to-earth person. I dare not say anything else about my eldest son, but he is definitely hardworking and honest, and he has no ulterior motives. I think it is good for you two to live together. The eldest son's two children are also honest. I have also seen your daughter, she is well-behaved and sensible. They should get along well. If you are willing, I will talk about reconciliation."
Li Shuangshuang lowered her eyes. As they were setting up stalls in the same place, she could often see Xu Yang and she was quite familiar with him.
He is indeed hardworking, looks much better than Liu Zhaocai, and his family conditions are decent. She has also met his two children, who are honest and polite.
If she really wanted to remarry, he would be a good candidate.
"Aunt, I...I have to go back and ask my parents."
Mother Xu understood what was going on and said with a smile, "Of course, of course."
After Li Shuangshuang left, Xu's mother walked into the back room of the shop and said, "Boss, I asked Shuangshuang, and she seems to like you, too. If you like her, be brave and tell her the truth."
Father Xu also turned his head: "Really? That child is very good."
Xu Yang paused and said, "Mom, she is a good person, and I believe she can treat the child well, but both sides have children, and I am afraid that if there are too many children living together, there will be conflicts, and then it will be difficult for both her and me."
"That's easy. Bring the kids to town. You guys go about your business and I'll help look after them and let them get along with each other."
Father Xu agreed: "That's a way."
Xu Yang finally nodded. It’s not that he looked down on Li Shuangshuang. On the contrary, after hearing about Li Shuangshuang’s story, he admired her quite a lot.
If the children can get along well with each other, he will treat the mother and daughter well.
Liu Zhaocai and his mother walked back, feeling very angry. When they passed Daohua Village, they thought of how much Li Shuangshuang valued the two children. If they could bring the two children back to the Liu family, she would definitely follow them back obediently.
They didn't dare to go to Li's house, nor did they dare to ask the villagers in Daohua Village, for fear that others would inform Li Shuangshuang's family.
The two also heard that the two children were studying in the village school, so they went directly to the village school.
Looking at the big blue brick and tile house, Ma Pozi snorted in annoyance: "Even the village school is built with blue bricks, which makes their Daohua Village look better than our village."
Chen Tongsheng, who was teaching, didn't know the two people and asked who they were looking for. When he heard that they were looking for Da Niu and Er Niu, Chen Tongsheng frowned and said, "We don't have these two people here. Are you villagers from this village? Why haven't I seen you before?"
Ma Pozi immediately said, "You can't be wrong. I am the grandmother of Da Niu and Er Niu. Their mother is Li Shuangshuang."
"Li Shuangshuang? Since you are their grandma and dad, you must know that they have changed their names, right?"
"Change the name? Li Shuangshuang didn't tell us."
Chen Tongsheng immediately became alert: "You don't even know this, it seems that you don't care about the two children. Go away, I won't let you see them."
Ma Pozi was anxious: "You, I need your permission to see my granddaughter. Who do you think you are? Let them come to see me."
"If you continue to act unreasonably, I will have no choice but to find the village chief."
Seeing that he was unmoved and fearing that the village chief would be called, the two men had no choice but to leave.
Chen Tongsheng's wife came over to inquire about the situation. After hearing what happened, she said, "I know about Shuangshuang. She and the Liu family divorced, and the two children were hers. Later, she changed the children's names and they have no relationship with the Liu family anymore."
"So that's how it is."
"Yes, luckily you didn't let them see it. I don't think they have good intentions. You should tell Aunt Li about it."
"Okay, go tell them."
Mrs. Tongsheng immediately went to tell Li Shuangshuang's parents about this.
In the afternoon, Li Shuangshuang came back and frowned when she heard about this. She didn't want to make her parents worry, but she didn't expect that the two people in the Liu family would be so unkind as to target their two children.
She also told him about what was happening in town.
Li Shuangshuang said: "Mother, for now, the only way is for me to get married, then the Liu family will give up."
Zhang Mei asked: "What do you think of the Xu family you mentioned?" Li Shuangshuang told her what she had learned.
Zhang Mei and her husband looked at each other and decided to go to the town to take a look and let Changle and Changning try to get along with their children.
That day, the two families agreed to meet in the town. Xu's mother and Zhang Mei took a few children to play by the river at the end of the town's main street. Xu Yang and Li Shuangshuang were chatting not far from them.
After getting along with each other, the children got along well, and Li Shuangshuang and Xu Yang also got along well.
The marriage was thus settled.
The Xu family found time to propose marriage.
Li Shuangshuang and Zhang Mei were walking back with their two children. When they passed by a house, they saw a familiar figure.
Li Shuangshuang said, "Isn't that Mrs. Cui from Kaoshan Village? Why is she here?"
"I'm afraid she's here to see her daughter."
"Her daughter?"
"Don't you know? I heard from Big Mouth Sister-in-law that Gao Conghui dated many men, but none of them liked her. The main reason was that they were poor or old. But she didn't think about the fact that everyone knew about her relationship with the young master in the county, so it was good enough that they didn't dislike her.
Later, for the sake of reputation, Gao Zhiyuan wanted her to get married quickly, so he told her that the son of Wang Yuanwai in the town was his concubine. She agreed, and was taken into the mansion as a concubine. Even meeting the family had to get the master's permission.
"So that's how it is. Women should love themselves more. If they look down on themselves, no one else will respect them."
"That's right."
Zhang Mei sighed. Gao Conghui was too arrogant, had no self-awareness, and had no self-respect. She would rather be a concubine than marry into a farmer's family and become his wife. Who would respect her?
Three days later, the Xu family came to propose marriage, and Li Shuangshuang's marriage was settled.
