Whenever she thought of the Yang brothers, she felt so angry that her teeth itched.
What kind of life was that when I was a child?
The next day.
More than half of the men in the village are gone, as they have gone to work on the river.
The village chief didn't go, but the team leader took the villagers there.
Li Minglan met the matchmaker today.
The village chief and Wu Tong helped her check at home.
Only when I came here did I realize that the person who introduced me was from Hejia Village.
The affair between Li Minglan and He Ming caused a lot of uproar at the time, and everyone in Hejia Village knew about it.
I didn't expect to meet you by chance.
If this is the case, the marriage will definitely not be successful.
The young man surnamed He said, "Sister-in-law, Mrs. He suddenly fell ill two days ago and died that night. Brother He Ming is at home in mourning. Since you left, their lives have been hard to describe. In short, they are extremely miserable."
Li Minglan didn't feel much when she heard this.
It's like listening to irrelevant words, it has nothing to do with her.
Wu Tong was worried at first that she would feel uncomfortable.
But looking at her expression, I knew everything was fine.
After apologizing, the matchmaker led the young man away from the village chief's house embarrassedly.
"Dad, sister-in-law, I'm fine. It seems that it's fate again," she said with a smile.
"I'll find you a better one next time."
"Okay, I'm not in a hurry anyway. I'm fine staying at home. I can even help with the housework."
Wu Tong smiled and said, "That's right. I feel much more relaxed when you're home. The Xiang Nong brothers also said they couldn't bear to leave their aunt."
Li Minglan smiled at her gratefully.
Since leaving the He family and returning to the village, life has been peaceful.
Old Lady Xu said, "Village Chief, men should marry when they are old enough, and women should marry when they are old enough. You can't keep supporting Minglan forever. Mingfu has a wife and a son, so Minglan should seize the moment."
What she said makes sense.
It's hard for her to say anything nice.
The village chief said, "There's no need to rush this matter."
"We really can't be impatient. After all, it's a matter of a lifetime."
Zhang Cuihua said, "I'm not in a hurry yet. Back then, I only met Daya's father once, and I didn't even get to know what she looked like before I married her. I've lived an uneasy life for so many years."
"You're right. I also married her after just one meeting without even saying a word."
Li Mingqing was listening to the gossip on the side.
Sun Jiaxue whispered, "Brother Mingqing, there was a man in our village with two scars on his face. I heard they were very scary. In order to find him a wife, his family asked his younger brother to help arrange a blind date. On the first night of the wedding, the bride was frightened to death."
"Really?"
"I don't know if it's true, but there's indeed an old man in Sunjia Village with two hideous scars on his face."
"That's probably true."
"I was so scared when I first came to our house."
Li Mingqing smiled and said, "Are you afraid that my face will be covered with pockmarks?"
"Yeah, I'm a little scared because he's an ugly old man."
"Wife, I didn't expect you to care so much about your appearance. Fortunately, I am good-looking, otherwise you would have run away."
Sun Jiaxue looked up at him with a smile on her face and said seriously, "Not only is she good-looking, but she's also capable."
Li Mingqing chuckled and pinched her cheek.
It's soft and feels good.
It made her blush.
It's too embarrassing in public.
Old Lady Xu said, "Village Chief, ask Ming Qing to introduce them. He knows a lot of people outside."
"I think so too, and so does my daughter, Daya."
Li Mingqing didn't say anything but was put on such a big hat by the two old women.
"It's more reliable for you to find a matchmaker."
"I know so many people outside all the time. It would be great if I could introduce a few more to you. I can ask my fellow villagers to help me."
Upon hearing this, the village chief said, "Don't always think about climbing up the social ladder. It's better to find a suitable match for the two of you."
"Village chief, please stop saying that. You said you don't want your child to marry into a good family and live a life without hardship and fatigue. How wonderful it would be."
"Don't think marrying into the city is good."
Yang Daya nodded in agreement.
The city is not as free as the village, but the most important thing is to have enough food to eat.
Wang Daya took Zhang Cuihua home.
"Mom, go home and get some cotton covers first. It's going to freeze in two days, and the quilts aren't ready yet."
"Can't you do it yourself? I'll chat outside."
"I can't do it, Mom, please help me."
The mother and daughter then left.
Old Lady Xu said, "Speaking of which, my family's quilts haven't been finished yet. They're over ten years old and not warm at all, and buying cotton is a hassle."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Old Lady Li and Li Mingqing.
"Ming Qing, you work at the supply and marketing cooperative, can you help me get some cheap cotton?"
"I can't get it."
"Really? Your nephews and nieces are wearing new cotton-padded jackets, so don't you have to buy cotton?"
"I bought it. It's more expensive than buying it at the supply and marketing cooperative."
After hearing this, she said nothing more.
This is just robbery.
The cotton sold at the supply and marketing cooperatives is not cheap, and they also stipulate that each person cannot buy more than the standard. It is even more expensive to buy it on the black market, and you may not be able to buy it.
Although the harvest was good this year, the villagers sold their grain on the black market for some money.
I definitely won’t want to spend the money I finally exchanged.
It’s just freezing for ten days or half a month, I can bear it.
Li Mingqing discovered that since the autumn harvest, unreasonable people like Old Lady Xu had actually become much more restrained.
It turns out that eating enough is conducive to emotional stability.
If she had been in the same temper as before, she would have argued with him here.
Cui Ji and Cheng Youfeng came over.
Even though the two had been in Lijia Village for such a long time, this was the first time Li Mingqing saw them.
