Chapter 207 Xiaojuan Wants to Remarry
Zeng Xiaojuan twisted her fingers around her collar, lowered her head, and after a while she spoke softly, "Xiaoyan, I've thought about it carefully. I really want to marry Brother Yang Ming. I've already told him that raising Qiao'er on my own is always a hassle. It's too difficult. Brother Yang Ming is a loyal and reliable man. Besides, with you all here in the village, he certainly wouldn't dare bully me. Xiao'an is a good man too. I believe he'll treat Qiao'er like a younger sister and won't bully her."
"But--"
Zeng Xiaoyan always felt that this was not the case, but she was speechless and didn't know how to refute it, so she could only look at Xu Zhichun eagerly.
When in doubt, ask Sister Zhichun.
A few days ago, Auntie Hua maliciously implicated herself and Uncle Yang Ming. Now, hearing Zeng Xiaojuan say this, Xu Zhichun felt a little uncomfortable, but she was also really surprised. "Sister Xiaojuan, do you really think so?"
"Yeah." Zeng Xiaojuan finally looked up, glancing at the two of them before lowering her head again. "I've thought it through clearly, Xiaoyan. My second sister is remarrying, so she has someone to rely on, and Qiao'er also has a stepfather to back her up. This is a good thing. Don't you support my second sister?"
Zeng Xiaoyan: "Of course I support my second sister's remarriage. Of course I hope she can have a family. But, but, is she really willing to marry Uncle Yang Ming?"
Zeng Xiaoyan didn't know whether she should still call him "Uncle Yang Ming".
Uncle Yang Ming is older than my second sister, but he is actually not very old. He is seven or eight years older than my second sister. It is considered good for him to find someone with such an age difference when remarrying.
My second sister is not from the village, so there is no need to consider seniority. She can marry him if she really wants to.
Zeng Xiaoyan just had a hunch that her second sister didn't remarry because she really loved him, so she was angry. She didn't want her second sister to feel wronged.
But her second sister insisted on getting married, and with so many reasons, she had no way to refute it. It didn't matter whether she believed it or not. Zeng Xiaoyan felt a little sad for no reason. She felt that her second sister no longer trusted her.
Zeng Xiaojuan nodded without hesitation: "Xiaoyan, I have thought about it very seriously, really. With my conditions, it is impossible to find a man better than Brother Yang Ming. I am not wronging myself. I really think so. Please don't be angry, okay?"
Zeng Xiaoyan turned her head away angrily: "Why am I angry? I'm just worried that you're not doing well."
"No, I have you in Liangjia Village. How can I not live well?"
“.”
"Sister-in-law Zhichun, do you think it's reliable?"
Xu Zhichun was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. This question really stumped her.
If it were someone else, she would have no choice but to respect and bless them, but Zeng Xiaojuan had a good relationship with her family after all.
"If Sister Xiaojuan has considered it, we certainly support her. I'm a little curious, how did Sister Xiaojuan get to know Uncle Yang Ming?"
"Yes, yes, second sister, how did you two meet?"
Zeng Xiaojuan was a little embarrassed and lowered her head again: "Just a few days ago, when I was picking lantern fruits in the mountains, I accidentally fell down. It was him who helped me."
Zeng Xiaoyan was a little disappointed: "That's it? Second sister, do you think he can be relied on?"
"Qiao'er doesn't hate him either."
"snort."
"Xiaoyan, Second Sister isn't stupid, really. Haven't we both been reading people's faces since we were young? I've been in the Lou family for so many years, I've seen through it all. I really know who's good and who's not."
Zeng Xiaoyan sighed softly, and her attitude softened.
"Xiaoyan, if you don't support my second sister, she will be very sad."
"No, don't be sad."
Zeng Xiaoyan had no choice. "Since Second Sister has said so, I have no choice but to support her. After all, this is in Liangjia Village, and it's really a good place. If he treats Second Sister badly, I won't let him go."
"Thank you, Xiaoyan!"
Zeng Xiaojuan smiled gratefully and nodded gratefully to Xu Zhichun.
At this point, the marriage is settled.
Zeng Xiaojuan told them that if Xiaoyan agreed, Brother Yang Ming would find a matchmaker to propose marriage according to the rules. Zeng Xiaojuan meant to keep it simple and have it done after August 15th and before the autumn harvest.
Since both of them are getting married for the second time, there is no need to hold a wedding banquet. Just set up two tables and invite a few close relatives and some respected elders in the village to have a meal.
Zeng Xiaoyan had no reason to object.
This matter is settled.
The two sisters said goodbye to Xu Zhichun and went back with Qiao'er.
Xu Zhichun was a little dazed. Was this a surprising turn of events? If the villagers knew Uncle Yang Ming and Sister Xiaojuan were a couple, they would probably be quite surprised.
Especially since we almost had such a mistake a couple of days ago.
But to be fair, Xu Zhichun is still quite optimistic about them.
Sister Xiaojuan and Uncle Yang Ming are both people who want to live a down-to-earth life. They have both been hurt by scumbag men and bitches. They don't naively think about sweet, beautiful and pure love. As long as the other party is reliable and can live a stable life, that's enough.
In short, living together and relying on each other is better than the current situation.
Zeng Xiaojuan fell asleep peacefully holding her daughter, feeling relieved.
The incident two days ago had played a role in her decision to find Yang Ming and express her desire to marry him and live with him.
She had some idea about this, but she had been hesitating. The incident two days ago finally prompted her to take the initiative to move forward.
It's a good thing that she married. No matter whether it's Aunt Hua or anyone else, no matter how bad their intentions are, they can't say a word about Zhichun.
She didn't do it entirely for this, she had really seriously considered remarrying.
Qiao'er is still so young. Although she is very tired and exhausted taking care of Qiao'er alone, Qiao'er is sensible and she can get through it if she grits her teeth.
But that's not all she has to face.
It was very difficult for a young widow to raise a young daughter. She could ignore gossip, but the obscene looks of some men made her terrified.
Sometimes, someone would even knock on her door in the middle of the night, or tell dirty jokes under her window. Whenever this happened, she was so scared that she couldn't fall asleep.
In just these few short days, three ladies have come to her house with the intention of proposing marriage to her, smiling and trying to find her a partner, but she pretended to be confused and declined.
She didn't believe those people.
She has no relatives or friends, and they don't have much contact with each other on a daily basis. How could she dare to agree when someone comes to her house to talk to her about her family?
If it was another family like the Lou family, she would have no place to cry.
She didn't tell Xiaoyan about these things. Xiaoyan had already helped her a lot, and she couldn't bother her every time something happened.
Besides, even if she told Xiaoyan about what she had experienced, there was no good way to solve it unless she moved to Xiaoyan's house and lived there permanently.
Otherwise, it will happen sooner or later.
Yang Ming would rather risk his own life to clear Zhichun of the dirty water that had been thrown at him. This showed that he was truly a good person.
Rather than living in fear every day, it is better to partner with him.
