Wu looked at Zhou Dalang, who was silent and bowed his head, and felt a little unhappy. What was so good about this man? Why did her daughter like him?
Wu was upset and suddenly asked, "Zhou's eldest son, you're already grown up, and Tietou needs someone to take care of you. There's a nice girl in my family. Do you want me to introduce you to her?"
In fact, Wu didn't have any candidates. He just wanted to see what this person really thought about his daughter, and whether he had the courage, or was just a timid and secretive person!
Mrs. Wu actually had good intentions. She didn't want her daughter to get deeper and deeper into this invisible ambiguity and temptation. If he really liked her or wanted to marry her, it would only count if he said it in front of everyone.
Even though she felt that the Zhou family's conditions were still a little lacking, it was just a lesson learned from the previous time. Wu was more concerned about this man's character. With her granddaughter's ability, it wouldn't be difficult for her to support the Zhou family despite their poor family conditions. She was worried that this man was a coward who had no sense of responsibility and was afraid to take responsibility!
This question was really abrupt. Everyone at the table was stunned for a moment. Mr. Li said nonchalantly, "This old woman usually likes to match people up. As for everyone at the table, let's eat first!"
In fact, after Li Xiaomei left, Zhou Dalang began to feel depressed unconsciously. He knew that his conditions were still too poor. He got up early and went to bed late every day to fish on the river. Others went back early, but he would stay for another half day, hoping to catch more.
He didn't know where he got the courage from, but when he heard that Wu wanted to be his matchmaker, he immediately stood up and knelt down in the direction of the two elders: "Zhou, I am very fond of you. I hope to marry you in the future and grow old together with you!"
Everyone looked at Zhou Dalang kneeling on the ground in shock, with different expressions on their faces, not knowing how to respond.
Mrs. Wu looked at the young man and thought he was quite courageous. She felt more at ease when she looked at him again.
Old Master Li was confused by this sudden request. When he came to his senses, he looked at the boy with displeasure in every way.
In front of so many people, Mr. Li couldn't embarrass him too much. He still couldn't figure out what his daughter was thinking. He just said with a stern face, "You get up first!"
Zhou Dalang didn't stand up immediately after hearing what Old Man Li said. He looked up at the two elders and said firmly, "Old Masters, I know that anything I say now will be meaningless, but with everyone here as witnesses, I beg you to consider me!"
Old Master Li frowned and pondered for a moment before saying to Zhou Dalang, "You know my little sister has had an unfortunate past, so she's not in such a hurry to get remarried!"
"Uncle, my little sister is fine. No matter how long it takes, I can wait! Until the day she agrees!"
Zhou Dalang's performance today did not disappoint Mrs. Wu too much. After all, it was not her own daughter who was being too enthusiastic!
Wu nodded slightly. She could sense the determination and sincerity in Zhou Dalang's eyes. "Alright, you can get up first. We need some time to consider this matter, and we can't agree to it rashly. You should also carefully consider your own feelings!"
When Zhou Dalang heard what Wu said, his heart finally settled down. Since she didn't kick him out of the house as a shameless person, it meant that he still had a chance.
Zhou Dalang stood up and bowed to the two men: "My mind is made up, you two elders are welcome to consider it!"
At this time, it was inappropriate to stay here any longer, so Zhou Dalang said goodbye to everyone, went to the door, picked up the farm tools and went to the big pond.
The younger brother of the Zhou family watched his elder brother leave, and he felt embarrassed to stay there, so he picked up his farm tools and chased after his brother!
The two brothers sat on the stem of a half-dug pond and said, "Brother, you were too impulsive today!"
Zhou Dalang looked at the blue sky and white clouds in silence. For a dull person like him, it was good to be impulsive for once. He could express the love that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time, let that person know, and it felt good to fight for himself!
He didn't know since when that person quietly walked into his heart, whether it was those eyes that were about to cry, or her trembling body when she was rescued, or her dazzling smile every time she brought him fish.
His heart told him that he wanted to be close to her! He liked her and wanted to protect her and never make her sad again. He wanted to marry her!
At the Li family's side, after Wu left, Li Xiaomei calmed down and went to the kitchen.
She heard everything Zhou Dalang said in the main room while standing in the kitchen. Her cheeks were flushed and her heart was beating like a drum. She wished she could rush out and cover his mouth!
How could this man be so rude? He actually said he wanted to marry her in front of so many people. Li Xiaomei was extremely embarrassed and angry, but of course, besides the embarrassment, there was also a hint of joy. It was just that she hadn't come to her senses yet!
Li Yan and the two little rascals, three people with six eyes, blinked and looked at Li Xiaomei who was blushing in front of them.
"Aunt, are you going to be my mother?" Tietou asked ignorantly.
"My aunt will not be your mother. My aunt is mine, not yours!" Maomao said angrily.
Li Xiaomei was even more embarrassed by the two children's words. Now the main room was full of people and she couldn't go back to her room, so she had to run to the workshop again.
Li Yan poked the two little ones' heads and said, "Don't talk nonsense about adult matters, you two!"
Tietou said aggrievedly, "But I clearly heard daddy say he wanted to marry auntie. My grandfather said that if daddy got married, Tietou would have a mother. Tietou doesn't want to be called a motherless child by the people in the village. Tietou likes auntie and wants auntie to be his mother!"
Maomao looked at his friend, who looked like he was about to cry, but he finally said generously: "Don't be sad, at worst I can just give my aunt to you!"
Tietou immediately swallowed back the little golden bean, and the two of them immediately became brothers again!
Li Yan looked at the two children who suddenly felt better after the storm, and she was at a loss whether to laugh or cry!
It is said that Mr. Li in the main hall was still in a daze after the Zhou brothers left. Mr. Li couldn't understand why someone would covet his daughter during just one meal.
Mr. Li looked at his old wife and asked, "Do you know what my younger sister's attitude towards this man is?"
Mrs. Wu recalled her conversation with her daughter and sighed, "She probably likes it, too!"
Lin and Liu were unable to express any opinions on this matter and could only stand aside and remain silent!
As the eldest son of the Li family, Li Dalang spoke up at this time: "Since my sister likes this man, we will do some research on him, observe him for a while, and carefully screen him for me! As long as this person is kind-hearted, down-to-earth and hardworking, he may not be a bad match for me!"
