She bluntly stated that her mother didn't want to see her, and she didn't want to see her mother either, so it would be best if they never met again.
Wang Tianxiao could only manage a wry smile.
This is where women and men differ.
Relatively speaking, men are more rational, while women are more emotional.
Therefore, men tend to think about what is the most suitable way to maximize benefits, while women think about whether things are feasible and their own mood.
If they're in a bad mood, they'll smash a mountain of gold if they're given one.
"Brother, did I get into trouble?" Wang Tianxin stuck out his tongue.
"It's nothing. I'll go home in a couple of days and talk to Mom about it. There's no problem between a mother and daughter that can't be resolved. Although it's fine for your sister to stay with me, it's not a long-term solution to keep things bottled up inside."
"That's great."
Wang Tianxin was relieved and went to find Liu Yuan.
Wang Tianxiao returned to his room and discussed the matter with his wife.
Li Yali smiled wryly, "These things in your family are really quite troublesome, and it seems like a lot of people are feeling awkward. Take Lanlan, for example. She's such a good girl, and she doesn't seem to have any problems on a daily basis, so why does she always throw tantrums at me? And then there's me, Mother. She clearly misses Lanlan, but she won't admit it. Isn't that just pushing each other further away?"
Wang Tianxiao shook his head helplessly, "That's right, it's a bit troublesome. I guess this is just the temperament of our Wang family, we've all inherited our mother's bad temper."
"So what are you going to do?"
"I'm going back to the village in the next few days to take a look around and talk to my mother about this matter."
"That works too."
"By the way, I think Guanping and Xiaoqing's relationship is very stable. Before the New Year, didn't we tell my aunt and uncle to get engaged first to settle things? What do you think?"
“Great!” Li Yali was delighted to hear Wang Tianxiao’s concern for his younger brother. “I think this is a good idea. Things can change in the long run. It’s better to settle things sooner rather than later, so that we can fulfill a wish.”
"Well, you can try to find out what they think privately. We're worried, but we're not them after all. Marriage is a big deal, and it should be based on the feelings between the two people. A forced marriage won't be sweet; it will only delay both of you."
“That makes sense.” As Li Yali answered, she looked into her husband’s eyes and thought to herself that she was truly lucky to have met such a good man as him.
Unbeknownst to her, in Wang Tianxiao's heart, she was also his white moonlight.
Wang Tianxiao thanked Heaven countless times for sending such a gentle and virtuous woman to his side. He must have saved the earth in his past life to have such great merit.
“If he’s willing to get engaged, then we need to prepare a dowry. You can also ask Guanping how much savings he has. If it’s not enough, help him out a little,” Wang Tianxiao said softly. After a moment’s thought, he added, “But be careful with the timing and method. Don’t let him feel like we’re interfering in his life. And don’t make the money issue too obvious…”
"I know."
Li Yali gently placed her hand on the back of her husband's hand.
What a gentle person she thought to herself.
"Also, take some time to visit Yaqin's house. We received a lot of help from her and Shengli before. Now that we're doing better, we should repay the kindness we owe them."
Li Yali smiled and said, "Yaqin isn't the kind of person who seeks reward. She's easygoing and a very warm-hearted person."
“You can’t say that,” Wang Tianxiao smiled. “No one can be good to others without any reward in the long run. Relationships are reciprocal. If others are good to us, we should repay them. That’s how we can maintain our relationships forever.”
Li Yali nodded, "Yes, you're right. Let's go together when it gets a little warmer. Pengwa is still young, and it's cold outside. It's not good for his health if he gets chilled by the cold wind."
“Okay, let me know when you want to go. I heard from Tianxin that the village is going to start laying electrical circuits, and I’m planning to go to the power supply station soon to see how we’re going to solve our electricity problem.”
"Finally, we'll have electricity here too. It would be great if we could use electric lights. This kerosene lamp is too dim. At night, I can't see anything clearly, and after a while, my eyes get so blurry that I can't see anything at all."
"Don't work at night. There's plenty of time during the day. If it really doesn't work, we can just buy it with money. How can a person's body withstand such overwork?"
When Wang Tianxiao heard his wife talk about her eyes, he recalled that in his previous life, his wife's eyes were in very bad condition, and she could hardly see anything.
Just imagine, it was from being smoked by kerosene lamps on countless dark nights.
Looking into his wife's gentle, watery eyes, he found it hard to imagine how she had gradually become dry and lifeless. The burdens of life had eventually robbed this woman of her spirit.
This is undoubtedly related to the fact that he failed to provide her with the foundation for a happy life.
He vowed to treat her well for the rest of his life.
"Oh, by the way, I made you some insoles. Do you think they look good?"
Li Yali took out two pairs of insoles from under the pillow and handed them to Wang Tianxiao.
Wang Tianxiao took them and saw that one pair depicted flowers symbolizing wealth and prosperity, while the other pair featured mandarin ducks playing in the water.
The red, green, and yellow hues are vividly depicted, the embroidery is meticulous, and the color scheme is clean and beautiful.
Li Yali is a woman of many talents, skilled in both literature and martial arts.
He was capable of taking up a gun to fight off thieves who stole grain; he was also a militia captain and the star player of a basketball team.
Take the article for example, we could talk about it for ages.
First of all, she has beautiful handwriting, especially in running script and cursive script.
Although most older people who have been to school can write calligraphy, Li Yali's calligraphy is excellent, just like Wang Tianxiao's, and their penmanship is also superb.
