Mi Bao said in the space, "Holy crap, you only stayed at Du Jingshan's house for a few days, and they want you to live there for the rest of your life?!"
Tsk tsk, does your mom even love you? She seems really eager to marry you off!
Li Xiyue said, "Watch your words. Who stayed at Du Jingshan's house? That's a lie Du Jingshan told!"
He was afraid that if my mother found out I had been kidnapped, she wouldn't be able to handle the emotional shock.
Honey said, "Yes, yes, that's exactly what I meant. Your mom mistakenly thought that you stayed at Du Jingshan's house for a few days and then wanted you to stay there forever! I doubt how deep her love for you really is."
Li Xiyue said, "My mother loves me. Whether in my past life or this life, she loves me with her whole life."
However, in this day and age, if a girl reaches a certain age and doesn't have a boyfriend or get married, she'll be considered an oddity, the subject of gossip among the neighbors, and her reputation will be ruined!
Mi Bao said, "Then the future will be better. In the future, girls can get married if they want to, and if they don't want to get married, they can continue to be their parents' darlings at home. No one will force them to get married!"
Li Xiyue said, "I don't believe it! How could the whole society be like this?"
Mi Bao said, "In big cities, there is almost no pressure to get married. People in big cities are generally better off economically, and they value whether their children will be happy in the future."
If you force your child to go on a blind date the first time, and then to the civil affairs bureau for a second marriage, they feel that such a marriage will not be happy and is unreliable!
Li Xiyue nodded and said, "A marriage without love is definitely unreliable, no matter the era. But I don't like Du Jingshan..."
She reached out and knocked on the large iron gate of the courtyard. If she didn't knock, her parents would have already decided what her dowry would include.
Cheng Xiaohui suddenly heard someone knocking on the door. She turned her head and looked out the window, and immediately saw her daughter outside the iron gate!
She jumped up from the sofa and ran out to open the door for her daughter!
She's been in a daze these days. Although Li Wenbo keeps telling her that her daughter is definitely safe at Du Jingshan's house, she still has a sense of unease.
She always felt that Du Jingshan and Li Wenbo were hiding something from her!
But she couldn't find any evidence!
Just now, when she was discussing Li Xiyue's dowry with Li Wenbo, her mind was still in a daze.
However, when she saw her daughter again at this moment, her heart was finally at ease!
She laughed and ran out to open the door for her daughter, saying, "You're finally back? I almost went to Du Jingshan's house to look for you!"
Even if you and Du Jingshan's sister have a good relationship, you can't stay at their house for too long.
"You and Du Jingshan haven't even settled down properly, and now you're living with other people's families. The neighbors will gossip about you, saying you're a bad person!"
Li Xiyue walked in with a smile and said to her mother, "Mom, what are you saying? I went to Du Jingshan's house to see Du Guixiang. What does that have to do with her brother? Her brother doesn't come home every day!"
Cheng Xiaohui said, "That won't do either. People's words are a fearsome thing. They can kill you with their tongues. Each of your neighbors could break your back with a single word!"
She took her daughter's hand and walked into the small building. Only when she actually held her daughter's hand did her heart calm down.
His daughter is really alright; Du Jingshan and Li Wenbo didn't lie to him!
When Li Wenbo saw his daughter return home in surprise, his hand involuntarily patted his chest.
Thankfully, his daughter is back. Heaven knows how much pressure he's under right now. He's just afraid that Cheng Xiaohui will make a scene and go to Du Jingshan's house to find their daughter!
If that were the case, neither he nor Du Jingshan could cover up the lie!
He looked deeply at his daughter. His daughter had returned safely. It must have been Du Jingshan and his superiors who managed to rescue her.
Now that Cheng Xiaohui was here, he couldn't ask her directly. He rubbed his reddened eyes and smiled as he said to Li Xiyue, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!"
Um... your mom was just worried about you. Don't blame her; she missed you every single day while you were gone!
Li Xiyue said, "I know, I won't blame Mom. I know Mom is doing it for my own good!"
Cheng Xiaohui said with a smile, "Of course, Mom is definitely doing this for your own good. Who else would she be doing it for?!"
"You haven't eaten yet, have you? Your dad and I made you some stewed pork ribs. I'll go and stew the potatoes and dried green beans with the ribs, and then we'll make some of your favorite little pancakes. What do you say?"
Li Xiyue said, "Okay! Mom, I love this dish, stewed in an iron pot!"
Cheng Xiaohui got up late and went to the kitchen to cook for her daughter. The ribs had been stewed for a long time, and she and Li Wenbo had been saving them for their daughter.
Only Li Wenbo and Li Xiyue remained in the living room. Li Wenbo cautiously peeked into the room as Cheng Xiaohui entered the kitchen before turning back to his daughter and carefully asking, "Yue'er? Are you...are you alright? Who rescued you?"
Li Xiyue said, "It was Mu Cangnan who rescued me. We were kidnapped by bad guys, and they locked us in a cave."
However, we didn't suffer any injustice. The people who kidnapped us bought us food and drinks, and we lived more comfortably than at home.
Li Wenbo was taken aback by this. He said in bewilderment, "Do kidnappers have a conscience these days? But that's not important. It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!"
Li Xiyue said, "Thank you for taking care of my mother while I was away."
Li Wenbo looked embarrassed. He said, "It's my duty to take care of your mother. I owe her so much. Even if I had to take care of her for two lifetimes, it would still be my duty."
Li Xiyue said, "It's good that you know. As long as you treat my mother well, I can let bygones be bygones."
After she finished speaking, she walked past Li Wenbo and went back to her room to rest.
Li Wenbo slowly took off his glasses and wiped away his tears with a handkerchief.
Although his daughter's words were harsh, he had been waiting for these words for a long time!
My daughter finally said that we could let bygones be bygones.
This is a significant step forward in their relationship.
He murmured, "Yue'er, Dad knows he's sorry..."
Thinking about the grievances his daughter had suffered since childhood, his heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and kidneys ached.
If he could, he would go back to those days. He would not have entrusted his child to a nanny. No matter how difficult it was, even if they had to eat porridge, he would have raised the child by his side.
Cheng Xiaohui worked quickly and efficiently, and soon finished making a large pot of stew.
Dried green beans and potatoes stewed with pork ribs are Li Xiyue's favorite dish.
Li Xiyue took a small biscuit and ate it along with meat and vegetables.
Cheng Xiaohui sat down next to Li Xiyue and said, "Yue'er, how are you doing at the Du family? Are Du Jingshan's parents treating you well?"
Li Xiyue nodded as she ate, and casually said, "They're all doing well."
Cheng Xiaohui said, "How about these dowry items?"
