Chapter 208 The Troublesome Old Lady



“Yes, Tianxiao is right. Guanping, my eldest sister thinks so too. Xiaoqing is such a good girl. If you can marry her, it will be a blessing from eight lifetimes.”

"Big sister, why are you saying that too?"

"Big sister, brother-in-law, is the Xiaoqing you're talking about the one we met last time?"

"Yes, that's the girl."

"That's great, absolutely great!" Li Yaqin slapped her thigh and shouted at Li Guanping, "Li Guanping, such a good girl, and you're not satisfied? How can you be so shameless? Are you a rich young master or a prince?"

"Second sister..."

Li Guanping was completely speechless.

He didn't know why everyone suddenly turned their attention to him.

He was so flustered that he didn't know what to say in his defense.

Qin Xiaoling and Li Wanfu, watching their children chatter on and on, became quite curious. Qin Xiaoling then asked Li Guanping, "Son, don't you like the girl your brother-in-law mentioned?"

“No,” Li Guanping replied immediately.

"Since you like it, what are you still hesitating about?"

"I..." Li Guanping hesitated for a long time before saying helplessly, "I'm still saving money right now. Even if she agrees to marry me, how am I going to support her? I have no place to live and no savings. Wouldn't it be a hardship for her to follow me?"

After Li Guanping said that, the two elderly people immediately fell silent.

When a child can't afford to get married, people say it's the child's fault, but in their hearts, it's also because they lack the ability.

Wang Tianxiao picked up the conversation and said with a smile, "Guanping, there's absolutely no need to worry about this. You're all working for me, so earning these things is just a matter of time."

However, my brother-in-law's point is, since Miss Xiaoqing didn't look down on you because you're poor and even gets along well with you, isn't it a bit unfair that you're setting so many barriers for yourself?

"Besides, who says you have to have everything before you get married? Take it slow. Look at your sister and me, we were penniless when we got married, we had nothing, but things have gradually gotten better. Life is about taking it one step at a time. You're still young, don't lock your future away."

More importantly, if you keep dragging it out, what if the girl falls for someone else? You'll end up with nothing. Let me tell you, based on my experience, the feelings between young men and women are like a force. If you keep holding on, you can have food and shelter, but once that force dissipates, it's truly gone.

Xiaoqing is a very lively girl, you'd better seize the opportunity. If you don't reciprocate her enthusiasm for a long time, then…”

Wang Tianxiao gave Li Guanping a look that he could understand on his own.

Wang Tianxiao's words once again left everyone stunned.

Even Li Yali looked at him with curiosity.

I guess I was thinking to myself, when did I become so knowledgeable about relationships between men and women?

"Guanping, your brother-in-law is right. You should seize this opportunity. As for the wedding supplies, that's easy. We'll chip in to help you. As long as you two are living a good life, we, your older brothers and sisters, will be at ease, right, eldest sister?"

Li Yaqin, that clever little devil, was referring to her older brother and sister, but the closing remark was directed at her eldest sister.

Because I know my older brother is a real miser, never spending a penny.

It's pointless to tell him.

“Well, let’s think of a solution together. Xiaoqing and I are quite close, so I can put in a good word for you with her. If that doesn’t work, there’s always your brother-in-law,” Li Yaqin said with a smile.

"Is it really that urgent?"

"Just tell me, do you like that girl or not?"

"Of course I like it."

"Do you want to marry me?"

"Yes, I do."

“That’s settled then,” Li Yaqin made the decision for him. “Mother, you should find a geomancer to choose an auspicious date for Guanping and get the marriage arranged as soon as possible… If you don’t want to arrange it, you can just get married directly.”

"Guanping, is this okay?" Qin Xiaoling asked Li Guanping.

Li Guanping thought for a moment, then finally smiled and nodded: "Okay."

Haha~

Everyone burst into laughter.

Happy and harmonious

Li Yali gently pinched her husband's waist under the table, without using any force.

Wang Tianxiao turned to look at her and saw his wife smiling radiantly.

She was really happy.

The next day, Wang Tianxiao brought Qin Shou back to the station.

He handed it to Wu Wenhua to take to work in the fields.

Worried that this guy would take advantage of his age, not work properly, and be picky about food, Wang Tianxiao arranged for a few dogs to watch over him and told him that if he didn't work properly, the dogs would teach him a lesson.

He certainly didn't believe that Qin Shou would suddenly become diligent.

A leopard can't change its spots; no one, no matter how hard they try, will change.

It will definitely take a long time.

Before he returned yesterday, his mother-in-law called him in specifically to ask about Qin Shou and listened to his plans for the future. She was quite helpless.

Finally, I told him to be understanding and not to worry too much if anything happened.

Wang Tianxiao responded with a smile that he took in that guy because he didn't want his mother-in-law to worry, so there was no need to worry in the future either. He would make all the necessary arrangements to ensure that Qin Shou would not cause any more trouble.

Wang Tianxiao's thoughts on Qin Shou are not yet fully formed; it all depends on how Qin Shou performs.

If his performance is acceptable, then considering he's his wife's uncle, let him make a living at the station.

But if he doesn't know when to back down, there are ways to deal with him; we'll definitely teach him a lesson.

After arranging things for Qin Shou, Wang Tianxiao went to Wu Ping and asked him to find a familiar construction team to help his mother-in-law's family build the sheepfold as quickly as possible.
