Lin nodded with a smile and told her sister-in-law what she knew.
Guo was very happy after hearing this. Her brother-in-law left home early and had not found a girl to marry for so many years, so his marriage was delayed.
Now that she heard that her brother-in-law had a girl he liked, how could she not be happy? She soon told her husband the news to make him happy too.
"While my sister-in-law is here, let's have Aunt Wang come home to help with the third day of the bath tomorrow. Then we can find out what her family thinks." Lin suggested.
The two sides hit it off and the matter was settled.
On the other side, Mr. Li, who went to the foot of the mountain to dig a pond, found Zhou Dalang who was busy working.
He said with a stern face, "Come home after work!" Without waiting for Zhou Dalang's response, he went to work.
Zhou Dalang was flustered by Mr. Li's words. Was he trying to tell him something? Or was he warning him not to have any extravagant thoughts?
Zhou Dalang worked absentmindedly all morning, nearly injuring his feet with farm tools several times. Fortunately, Zhou Xiaodi, who was standing nearby, reminded him and prevented any disaster.
When it was finally time to get off work, Zhou Dalang walked slowly at the end of the crowd.
When Mr. Li was about to reach the door of his house, he remembered what his son had told him that morning. He stopped again and looked at the crowd. He thought, "This guy must not leave!"
When he saw the Zhou brothers behind the crowd, he waved to him to hurry up!
Although Zhou Dalang was nervous, he quickened his pace. He encouraged himself in his heart that no matter how the old man scolded him, he should accept it humbly.
When the two Zhou brothers approached, Mr. Li said, "Let's go. Let's have dinner here today. Come with me. I have something to tell you."
Old Master Li first brought the person home. At this time, everyone in the family was helping at his youngest son's house, so there were not many people in the yard.
Old Master Li sat down casually under the eaves and pointed to the wooden bench beside him, motioning the two brothers to sit down.
"We haven't responded to your last request to marry my younger sister. Now that we have this opportunity, I'd like to tell you our attitude!" Old Master Li said slowly.
I have discussed this with my wife this morning. We cannot leave this matter ambiguous and not express our stance. We must finally make our stance known to Zhou Dalang.
When Zhou Dalang heard about this, he sat up straight and nodded, and cold sweat broke out in his clenched palms.
Old Master Li frowned and said, "You must know that my little sister has had an unhappy past..."
Before Mr. Li could speak, Zhou Dalang said solemnly: "I know, my little sister is very good, this is not her fault..."
When she rescued her younger sister from the water, this person quietly and slowly walked into his heart.
Whenever he woke up in the middle of the night, her frightened and sad eyes were imprinted in his heart. In his heart, he felt that such eyes should be filled with smiles and tenderness, and he hoped to protect her future.
Looking at his serious expression, Mr. Li was quite satisfied. "As for my younger sister, we plan to keep her for another year. During this year, I hope you can seriously examine your heart. If you still feel the same way by then, and my younger sister is interested in you, we can talk again!"
Zhou Dalang originally thought that Mr. Li called him back to scold him, but he didn't expect to hear such news. He was ecstatic in his heart. This was also a disguised opportunity for him.
He could also understand why Mr. Li had to wait a year to make a decision. After all, marriage is a lifelong event. After his previous unfortunate marriage, it was only natural that he would be more cautious this time.
Zhou Dalang stood up and bowed solemnly to Mr. Li: "In the coming year, I will definitely perform well and work hard to make money, so as not to disappoint you."
