Chapter 178 I Marry
The two cousins were arguing and something was about to happen.
Erhe had been listening the entire time, and realizing something was amiss, she quickly spoke up, "Li Dong, how can you be a bystander in your own affairs?"
Li Dong reacted very quickly and soon understood what his sister-in-law meant.
"Miss, what Zou Yan said is right. My family is in this condition. There's nothing to hide. It's not a big deal if we don't marry a wife. Although I don't know you, thank you for speaking up for me."
Li Dong sincerely thanked Zou Zhou. Most people would not interfere in such matters, but he did not expect that this girl would speak up for him.
He smiled politely at Zou Zhou.
Zou Zhou was also a little embarrassed, "No need to be so polite."
"Okay, since it's nothing serious and we have things to do, we'll be leaving now."
Erhe probably guessed that if they continued arguing, the situation would get into trouble, so she signaled Zou Zhou to leave first.
"Wait a minute," Zou Yan rolled her eyes and thought of a brilliant idea. She stopped in front of Zou Zhou and said, "Cousin, you haven't answered my question yet."
"Alright," Li Dong shouted, "Don't involve others in the problems between you and me. I just want to say one thing: since you, Zou Yan, are so awesome, go find someone willing to marry into your family and don't bother me. Okay, everyone, let's go. Nothing more to worry about."
Although Li Dong was not very smart, he still understood such an obvious thing.
Zou Yan has a character problem. Even though his sister-in-law's friend spoke for him, he cannot harm others.
He waved his hand and started to chase people away.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that everyone was trying to keep the peace, so the matter should have been left alone. It was Zou Yan who came to the house to scold others, so she was in the wrong in the first place.
But Zou Yan didn't think so, and the corner of her mouth raised.
"No, that won't work. This doesn't work that way. Didn't Zou Zhou just ask me how I knew no one was willing to marry Li Dong? I did say no girl was willing to marry Li Dong because the Li family was too poor. You can refute me, Zou Zhou. Let me ask you again, would you marry him if it were you?"
This is clearly causing trouble.
Erhe frowned quickly.
Li Dong reacted quickly. "Auntie, can I call you Auntie? Yes, you are right. I, Li Dong, am poor, my family is poor, and I deserve to be single for my entire life. It is an honor for me that you like me. I am blind and unworthy of the eldest daughter of your Zou family. Please spare me a chance to live, okay?"
Given Li Dong's temper, it's not his style to say these things.
Although he is poor, he has great ambitions.
But now that this girl named Zou Zhou was involved for no reason, Li Dong felt guilty. Wasn't Zou Yan trying to make him submit?
Okay, just let him give in.
He knows his own limitations and there's no need to drag the girl down with him.
Zou Yan showed a satisfied smile. Seeing her smile, Li Dong felt that the matter was over. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself that this woman was really fucking troublesome.
If anyone marries such a thing in the future, his life will be in chaos.
For the sake of the ancestors of the Li family, even if he remains a bachelor for the rest of his life, he would never marry such a woman.
"Okay, I'll let you go."
Although Zou Yan said this, her eyes kept turning to Zou Zhou. This cousin was a city girl. If she were to marry someone from the countryside...
The Li family is so poor, isn't she too pitiful?
No, it was because she didn't help herself but spoke for Li Dong instead.
"Zou Zhou, let's go, He Zheng..."
Erhe winked at He Zheng, probably to get rid of Zou Yan.
A rat shit that stirs up trouble.
She didn't look down on Li Dong, but Li Dong and Zou Zhou didn't know each other before. If something really happened because of Zou Yan's provocation, and if the two of them didn't get along because of their personalities or other reasons, she couldn't let her good friend down.
"Erhe, I understand what you mean."
Something that everyone understands.
How could Zou Zhou not understand? She shook Erhe's hand to reassure her, then walked up to Zou Yan and said, "Cousin, I know what you mean. You just want to see me make a fool of myself. Then I will answer your question. If it were me, I would marry her."
Not only Li Dong was stunned, Erhe was also surprised.
Wouldn't this be too frivolous?
Zou Yan immediately laughed, "Zou Zhou, you said this, so many people heard it, don't even think about going back on your word."
If Zou Zhou's parents knew that a city dweller with a job married a country bumpkin, they would probably be furious, right?
Given the Li family's conditions, she would sooner or later be made a fool of herself.
"Girl, don't be impulsive. It's really unnecessary. She's not the only one who calls me poor. I'm used to hearing it. Really, you don't have to be like this."
Li Dong was also anxious. He was naturally grateful to Zou Zhou for helping him, but more importantly, he really didn't want to drag her down.
A city girl can marry anyone else. There is no need for her to follow a peasant like him and suffer in the countryside.
After he finished speaking, he also realized that the target was still Zou Yan's broken mouth, so he directly pulled her arm and pulled her out, "If you've had enough of the ridicule, then hurry up and leave. I'm just a poor boy, so you don't need to worry about me. Hurry up and get as far away as you can."
They dragged her all the way to the village entrance. Zou Yan, who rarely refused or struggled, gave a strange smile, called her sisters and left Ku Shui Village.
In front of Li's house.
Erhe looked at Zou Zhou helplessly, "You knew she was trying to trick you, so why did you insist on letting her have her way?"
Zou Zhou smiled and didn't explain.
The fun ended and everyone dispersed.
Suddenly, they were the only ones left at the door. Li Xi came up and said, "Zou Zhou? Your name is Zou Zhou, right? Then can I call you Sister Zou Zhou? Thank you for speaking up for my brother. Although my brother doesn't look very smart, he is a very good person. In short, thank you for speaking up for him."
"You don't have to be so polite."
Looking at the slim figure of Li Xi, Zou Zhou also felt good.
At this time, Li Dong also came back.
Looking at the people standing at the door, he shrugged his shoulders, shaking off the unhappiness in his heart.
After all, anyone who encounters such a thing will always feel a little uncomfortable.
He has no parents, his sister has a foot problem, and his family is poor. Does he want this to happen?
He has no choice.
He still wanted to show weakness and complain, but his parents were gone, so if he wasn't strong, who would be?
He also has a younger sister to take care of.
Brother Zheng and his wife take good care of them, but he can't rely on them for everything.
So, Li Dong moved the corners of his mouth left and right, put on an indifferent look and walked back, pretending to be relaxed and said: "Okay, everyone has left, Brother Zheng, sister-in-law, you can go and do your own things."
After saying that, he looked at Zou Zhou specifically, his eyes falling on Zou Zhou's pretty face, "Miss Zou Zhou, thank you again. Zou Yan's bad mouth is just deliberately stirring up trouble. Don't take it to heart. A good girl like you will definitely marry a good man in the future."
Zou Zhou didn't know what he was thinking about. He smiled strangely and nodded, "Yeah."
Erhe actually felt a little strange. Zou Zhou's attitude made her feel strange, but Zou Zhou didn't say much. Instead, he took the initiative to say, "Let's go."
