Chapter 52 I Want My Fourth Sister to Marry That Idiot

Xingxing picked up a river clam and dug out a valuable pearl from it. After Old Man Yu and Mrs. Wei repeatedly emphasized the matter, everyone kept their mouths shut and refused to say a word about it.

Mrs. Wei also did not forget to tell Yu Sanbao privately about Qian's trouble today. After Yu Sanbao's anger, he felt a little relieved.

His wife finally changed her mind and no longer cared about maintaining her unreliable family like she did before.

The next day, Li Chunhua, who was originally scheduled to stay at her parents' home for three days before returning, unexpectedly returned early.

She has always been a person who cannot hide her thoughts, and all her emotions show on her face. This time, her face is full of unhappiness, and anyone can see that something happened to her at her mother's house.

Mrs. Wei called Li Chunhua aside and asked her a question. Li Chunhua told him everything with a bitter face, like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.

It turned out that it was Li Chunhua's adopted brother from her mother's family who was causing trouble again.

Li Chunhua's family just happened to be in conflict with the Yu family, which was full of boys.

The Yu family has four sons, and Li Chunhua's family has four daughters.

Li Chunhua is the eldest of the four golden flowers in the Li family.

Later, her mother injured herself when giving birth to the fourth child, Li Donghua, and could no longer have children. The Li family particularly wanted a son to carry on the family line. It happened that a family in the village next door to the Li family was attacked by bandits while visiting relatives, leaving a ten-year-old child an orphan. The family also had the surname Li, so if you look closely, they are quite related.

The Li family then adopted the ten-year-old boy named Li Jinan, as a way of carrying on the Li family's legacy.

Now that's great. The Li family, who had always wanted a boy to carry on the family line, now has a boy. It's like asking for the stars but not the moon, asking for the moon but not the stars.

To Mrs. Wei, the Li family are all honest people, except for the issue of offspring, where they are a little confused.

If you really want a boy, you can find some young children to adopt. It can also be considered a good deed.

But what about Li Jinan? When the Li family adopted him, he was already ten years old, his personality was basically formed, and he missed his biological parents. If there was any trouble in raising him, wouldn't they compare his adoptive parents with his biological parents?

But raising a child is not like growing flowers and vegetables, how can everything go smoothly?

The more he was raised, the more distracted he became. Now Li Jinan was eighteen years old, and it was time for him to get married. Then came the worrying thing.

"...My younger brother has taken a fancy to a girl from the neighboring village and wants to marry her." Li Chunhua complained to Mrs. Wei, "He is old enough to get married, and there is no problem in letting him arrange the marriage. Even in a famine, my parents are willing to grit their teeth and find a wife for my brother...But the girl my younger brother has taken a fancy to has a fool brother who is still unmarried at the age of 25. They only accept marriages by exchange, and want my fourth sister to marry that fool as his wife!"

Mrs. Wei frowned when she heard this.

Li Chunhua's fourth sister, Li Donghua, is only sixteen this year, the same age as Li Chunhua, and two years younger than Li Jinan.

Let her sister marry a fool for Li Jinnan?

"What did your parents say?" asked Mrs. Wei.

At this point, Li Chunhua was so angry that her teeth itched: "Although my parents said that they regarded my brother as their lifeblood, Donghua was also their daughter, so how could they agree? As a result, my brother made a big scene at home, smashed half of the house, and forced Donghua to marry him! Donghua was not willing at all, so she hid at my second sister's house. I stayed at home, but I was annoyed by my brother's face, so I came back!"

Li Chunhua was still very angry when she talked about it.

When her family adopted Li Jinan, she was already married and did not have a deep relationship with her younger brother. They relied on the little affection they developed when they visited her parents' home during the holidays.

Mother Wei advised her, "Anyway, as the eldest daughter, you have to keep this matter under control. You can't let your fourth sister marry someone else no matter what."

Li Chunhua nodded, then thought of something and asked in confusion, "Mom, I was not here yesterday. What good thing happened at home? Why do you all look so happy today?"

Speaking of this, Mrs. Wei couldn't help but smile. She pulled Li Chunhua aside and whispered to her about Pearl.

Li Chunhua couldn't help feeling a little dizzy.

Such a good thing happened to their family?

"However, you are straightforward and you speak directly, so you can't keep things in your heart. I have to tell you first, you must not tell this to anyone except our family members." Mrs. Wei warned again and again.

Li Chunhua nodded, and almost swearing to Mrs. Wei: "Mom, don't worry, I know the seriousness of the matter!"

A few dozen taels of silver!

Li Chunhua almost went crazy with joy when she thought of this number!

Because of Li Jinan's matter, she thought of her son Huai, who was thirteen years old and almost at marriageable age. However, the family was extremely poor, and it was hard to say what kind of wife Huai would be able to marry.

Look, whatever she was worried about, it happened!

Li Chunhua swept away the depression brought by Li Jinnan and rubbed her hands in anticipation: "Mom, I heard that Xingxing, Liu Ge'er and Gui Ge'er caught a big fish. Watch me show off my skills to everyone tonight!"

Li Chunhua is a great cook. She made four dishes out of the big fathead fish. She found some spicy wild vegetables for the fish head and made a spicy minced fish head. She made a big bowl of braised fish that adults and children love to eat for the fish body. After picking out the fish bones, Li Chunhua went to the tofu seller in the village to buy a big piece of tofu and made a big pot of fish bone tofu soup, which was so delicious that it almost made her eyebrows fall off. Li Chunhua also did not waste the fish skin scraped off the fathead fish. After blanching it, she made a cold fish skin salad.

Li Chunhua cooked two dishes with the bacon that Bai Xiaofeng brought back from her mother's house, filling up the entire table, which was even more sumptuous than the New Year's Eve dinner.

Xingxing's little face was filled with the expression "Wow" and she was running around the house happily.

She is so happy!

Even, after not seeing each other for a long time, Old Man Yu took out a small pot of cheap liquor from the bottom of the box, which he had kept for a long time and had a drink with his sons.

Several men of the Yu family, who had done physical work in other villages all day, ate a bite of fish and drank a sip of wine, and they felt full of energy!

Everyone in the Yu family had a smile on their face.

These days, we are getting more and more motivated!

…

After dinner, the eldest wife's son, Bo Ge'er, suddenly called Yu Sanbao: "Uncle San."

He heard that Yu Sanbao was going to the provincial capital the next day, so he made the decision without much hesitation.

"Uncle San, please take me to the state capital to see the world!" Bo Ge'er said to Yu Sanbao very seriously, "I want to go out and see how they do business."

Yu Sanbao was a little surprised and looked at his second nephew who usually kept a low profile.
