Chapter 201 Oh, what's on top of the grave?

(Girls' Literature)

Li Shi was a calm man, but when it came to the important matter of marriage, he became like an impatient young man. When he heard that Liu Siniang agreed to marry him, he immediately and happily began to think about inviting a matchmaker to propose marriage, and then asked Su Zhi how much betrothal gift he should give to Liu Siniang.

Looking at Shitou Ge like this, Su Zhi was happy for Liu Si Niang. She thought that Shitou Ge really cared about her. This time she finally met a good man and could live a good life in the future.

"Brother Shitou, you can decide on the betrothal gift. You know that Si Niang's parents have passed away, and what's the situation with her and her uncle's family. The betrothal gift will eventually return to you. However, you also know that Zhao Daliang is also getting married, and he said he wants a grand wedding. We can't let Si Niang suffer any injustice."

"That's right!"

Li Shi naturally knew about the rumors spread by the Zhao family in recent days, as well as what happened in the cemetery. He was deeply dissatisfied with the humiliation that the Zhao family had brought upon Liu Siniang and him, and he thought that he must live a good life with Liu Siniang and make the Zhao family regret it.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I will prepare a good betrothal gift that will definitely make Si Niang proud. I will go to the town to buy the best jewelry and fabrics, which will definitely make others envy you. As for the matchmaker, I don't want to ask Hua Pozi, I will ask the matchmaker in town."

"It's better to ask Mrs. Hua. She lives in the same village, and you know what kind of mouth she has."

Su Zhi said that she didn't like Hua Pozi very much, but Hua Pozi was the matchmaker of Hebian Village. She had been matchmaker for Li Shi several times before, but Li Shi had rejected her. Now that Li Shi was getting married, he didn't invite her, so she missed the matchmaker gift. She was sure that Hua Pozi would bear a grudge. That woman was very unforgiving. If Liu Si Niang and Li Shi had to face more trouble in their future life just for the matchmaker gift, it would be too worthless.

"Sister-in-law, you are right. Then invite her."

Li Shi thought Su Zhi was right. He also didn't want Liu Si Niang to be bullied by Hua Pozi in the future. It was already a cause for gossip when a woman divorced and remarried, not to mention that Liu Si Niang and he were now being rumored. Li Shi didn't want Liu Si Niang to suffer any more grievances.

When Hua Pozi heard that Li Shi was going to marry Liu Si Niang, she was also surprised. She thought that Li Shi and Liu Si Niang were really together. She thought that they would keep their distance from each other after others gossiped about them, but she didn't expect that they would break the jar and throw it away. However, she didn't say anything. As a matchmaker, she got gifts. She would be stupid if she didn't join in. So she smiled like a chrysanthemum and kept saying congratulations. She also asked her son Niu Dabao to accompany Li Shi to buy the betrothal gifts.

Li Shi disliked Hua Pozi, but had a good relationship with Niu Dabao. However, she asked Shen Zian to buy the betrothal gift and did not use him. She just said that Niu Dabao must be asked to help at the wedding.

Once Mrs. Hua knew about this, it was equivalent to that the whole Hebian Village knew about it, which made the villagers who had been discussing the two people in secret start to speak out.

"What did I say? These two have been hooking up for a long time! Otherwise, would Liu Si Niang be willing to divorce? She is thinking of remarrying! Bah! Shameless bitch! I used to be her sister-in-law, how shameful! I will avoid her when I see her in the future, she is so dirty!"

Dazhu's wife spoke with saliva flying, and her face was full of contempt. In the past, people compared her with Liu Siniang, saying that she was lazy and greedy, and said that Liu Siniang was very hardworking and virtuous. But now look, she is just an unchaste slut. Compared with Liu Siniang, she can be honored with a memorial arch!

After hearing this, the women who were with her left with sympathy for Liu Si Niang, while the remaining two or three kept talking about Liu Si Niang and Li Shi's frivolous remarks.

Wang Huazhi happened to pass by. When she heard this, she walked over with a frown on her face. Dazhu's wife saw her and quickly called her.

"Ironhead's mother! You also know about Liu Si Niang's affairs, right? I said you worked with them and were quite close to them. You also knew about this a long time ago, right? You didn't tell me, are you also thinking of remarrying? It's a pity that you can't find someone like Li Shi. You have to get closer to Zi'an's wife. If it weren't for her help, Liu Si Niang wouldn't have hooked up with Li Shi. You should get closer to her and let her find you a good one."

“Mother, mother…”

Tietou leaned against Wang Huazhi. He was still young and didn't quite understand what Dazhu's wife said, but he knew that if his mother remarried, it might have a great impact on his future life. He was afraid.

Wang Huazhi snorted, spat at a dog nearby, and cursed: "I don't know where this stray dog ​​came from, making trouble here! Your own food is not clean, and you want to poop in other people's shit. Do you really think other people don't know what is fragrant and what is smelly? Shameless! Tietou, remember, you can't do this."

Although Tietou didn't quite understand why her mother scolded the dog, she still nodded.

Wang Huazhi pulled Tietou away, and from behind she heard Dazhu's wife yelling and cursing. She realized that Wang Huazhi was calling her a dog.

Dazhu's wife cursed a few times, twisted her waist and went back to the yard, pulled Tiedan and called Zhao Dazhu out, she knew that Zhang Qingniang was rich, now they eat white rice and white flour every day, she wanted to take her man and children to eat there too. She didn't believe that Zhang Qingniang dared to drive her out, Zhang Qingniang hadn't married into the family yet, she still had to please herself. And she also wanted to have a good relationship with Zhang Qingniang, so that she could take advantage of her in the future.

Dazhu's wife exaggerated the letter about Liu Si Niang's marriage to Li Shi, and Mrs. Li cursed and Zhao Daliang's face turned black. He thought that Li Shi had indeed deceived him, and he was just thinking about his wife! Zhao Xiaohua was also unhappy. Although she didn't care about Li Shi so much now, she had thought about Li Shi before. But he didn't care about himself and liked the ugly Liu Si Niang. What kind of eyes did he have!

When Zhang Qingniang heard the news, she was very happy. She thought that it was a good thing that Liu Si Niang remarried. This way, no one would talk about her and would say that she and Zhao Daliang were not right.

Li Shi was efficient and quickly prepared the betrothal gifts.

As soon as the betrothal gifts were bought, Li Laodi came to the house and brought his family to have a quarrel with Li Shi. Li Shi was almost driven out, saying that his marriage had nothing to do with him and that it was okay for him, as a father, not to come to the wedding. Li Laodi was so angry that he almost fainted. He pointed at Li Shi and scolded him for being unfilial, saying that even if his mother was alive, she would not allow him to marry Liu Si Niang. If he married, his mother would be so angry that she would run out and scold him.

Su Zhi was also there at the time, and she suggested that Li Shi take Liu Si Niang to pay tribute to Li Shi's mother.

"Since you, Father Li, said that Shitou's mother would not agree, and that she would come out of the grave to teach Shitou a lesson, then let Shitou and Si Niang go to meet her. If they get married well, it means that Shitou's mother agrees. If she doesn't agree, as you said, the marriage will definitely not be so smooth."

As Su Zhi spoke, she thought to herself that this old man Li came at the right time. Even if he didn't come, she would have to let Li Shi and Liu Si Niang go to the cemetery. If they didn't go, she would not be able to make the unfavorable rumors about them disappear.

When Li Shi heard this, thinking that he was getting married and he really needed to tell his mother about it, he agreed.

At that moment, Su Zhi called Liu Si Niang and asked her to go with Li Shi to pay homage to Li Shi's mother.

Liu Si Niang ignored the looks of those watching the excitement. She had suffered in the Zhao family for the past few years. What kind of looks had she not seen? Her life was dark at that time and she could only endure it. Now, at least she knew that as long as she faced it and moved forward, she would have a good life in the future. Not to mention being looked at like that, even if she was beaten, she would still come, and she would not be shy at all. However, when she saw Li Shi, she still felt a little shy in her heart, thinking that this man would be her husband in the future.

Li Shi and Liu Si Niang went to the cemetery, followed by a group of people watching the excitement.

When they arrived at the cemetery, the two of them knelt together in front of Li Shi's mother's grave. Li Shi told her that he wanted to marry Liu Si Niang and said some other words. Then Liu Si Niang also said something.

"Fourth Lady, come here. You will be the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family in the future. You can't come empty-handed. Give your mother-in-law a glass of wine."

When Su Zhi went back to look for Liu Si Niang, she brought out a small basket with a small jar of wine in it. She took it out and gave it to Liu Si Niang.

Liu Si Niang took it and respectfully opened the jar. The aroma of wine wafted out. Many people who loved to drink sniffed and praised the good wine, saying that this wine came from a certain store in the town. In front of the tomb, there is a small earthen platform used to place offerings. It was just after the Qingming Festival, and the earthen platform was still in good condition. Liu Si Niang poured the wine on the earthen platform.

After toasting, Li Shi helped Liu Si Niang up.

"My marriage with Si Niang is settled. You have no right to interfere. My mother only wants me to live a good life. She must be very satisfied with Si Niang. Don't use my mother to pressure me anymore. Si Niang, I have decided to marry you. You can come or not when we get married."

Li Shi said to Old Man Li, and looked at his stepmother and two brothers with great disgust, thinking that if it weren't for them, things wouldn't have gotten to this point.

Old Man Li was so angry that his eyes went dark, but he had no respect for his son, so he didn't dare to hit Li Shi. Even if he scolded him or glared at him, Li Shi would just shut up.

Everyone watching the excitement saw that Li Shi was determined to marry Liu Si Niang. In fact, although they were nosy and although they heard what the Zhao family said, they also suspected that the two had been involved. However, there were still many good people among them, and they knew the nature of the Zhao family, so naturally they did not care too much whether the two were really having an affair. Some people even thought that the two were really a good match.

"Oh my! Look what's in front of this grave!"
