Yu Sui sighed and spoke calmly from beginning to end:
"I understand you. But I have to remind you that arguing with an unreasonable person will only bring trouble to yourself. But forget it, people like her always find fault with others. Forget her, let's eat. Yu Cheng, be careful when you open the door next time. What if it's a dog instead of a human?"
Several children were a little frightened. The little Tangyuan in Yu Sui's arms was staring with his eyes wide open, asking for comfort. Yu Sui didn't want to make the children nervous, so she took the initiative to adjust the atmosphere and asked everyone to take a seat.
But the atmosphere was completely ruined.
Sun Yuying sat there angrily, not picking up her chopsticks.
Han Duomi looked at Yu Hemiao, took a deep breath, and said solemnly to Sun Yuying:
"Auntie, I'm sorry, I don't think I'll run into her here. Now that we've talked about it, I might as well make it clear to you. I've been divorced once, so I wouldn't say anything good or bad about her. But you saw how she was just now. She was really unreasonable, and we couldn't live together anymore, so we divorced.
Your He Miao, I... really fell in love with her the moment I saw her. I hope Auntie will agree to let He Miao and me be together. I don't have many great qualities, nor do I have much money, but Auntie, I promise that as long as I have a bite to eat, He Miao will never go hungry. Anyone who wants to bully her will have to step over me. As long as I have a breath, I will protect her.
These two children are my own children. If I dare to treat them badly, I will get sores on my head and pus on my feet. Uh, I... am I saying this? Well, anyway, what I mean is that I have set my sights on He Miao in this life. Can you, can you... uh, approve it? Right? Please approve it, Auntie.
Han Duomi was halfway through his words when he nervously looked at Yu Sui and Yu Cheng, trying to find the right words, but he was in a hurry to express his determination, so he was stunned.
But no one laughed at him. Everyone looked at Sun Yuying silently.
Yu Hemiao looked extremely nervous, and it seemed like she could hardly breathe.
Sun Yuying pursed her lips and didn't say anything for a long time.
Yu Cheng gently pushed her: "Mom, Brother Han asked you, you have to express your opinion."
Sun Yuying glared at him, then said to Han Duomi:
"I'm a person who refuses to give up. I was really pissed when that woman came in and started saying you were bad at this and that. Well, if you can truly treat He Miao well, I won't have any objections. What parent doesn't want their children to be well, right? If you can truly treat He Miao and the child the way you said, why would I object?"
There is one thing I must make clear to you. He Miao is too timid. She was too kindhearted back then, and that's why she was bullied by that family and almost died. So, if she marries again in the future, I won't allow her in-laws to bully her. If that happens, I'd rather support her family for the rest of her life. So, if you can promise to separate and live on your own early in the future, I have no objection. If you can't do that, I won't agree at all."
Han Duomi's eyes were full of light, and he quickly stood up and bowed:
"Auntie, thank you. I promise I won't let He Miao be bullied. Actually, I don't have much contact with my family anymore because they think I'm broke and living a carefree life. If they knew I got into college, they would probably come looking for me. But after going through so much, my heart has turned cold. From now on, I just want to have my own family and be good to my own family. Auntie, no, mother, I will be good to whoever is good to me."
Yu Sui was the first one to laugh when she heard the word "Mom".
But she just smiled and said nothing.
Yu Cheng was different. He teased, "Oh my, you don't even have any manners, and you're already calling me mother. Brother Han, you're too shameless."
Sun Yuying was very upset and twisted Yu Cheng's ear: "What are you talking about, kid? It's just like this, it's fine. That Han... Han what's his name?"
Yu Hemiao blushed: "Han Duomi, mother."
Sun Yuying stood up with a smile: "Oh, Han Duomi, please sit down. I'll give you a red envelope as a meeting gift. We are a poor family, and we have to follow the rules of a poor family!"
Han Duomi quickly stopped her:
"No, no, mother, I can't accept it. Mother, listen to me, I am a student now, a poor student. Fortunately, I took the normal school exam and the school has subsidies. If I save a little, I can still buy one or two pieces of meat for He Miao. But I don't have much money to give to Lan Lan and Guo Guo as a meeting gift. Mother, I tell you honestly, I want to keep it for now. When I get a job, I will give it to you all at once.
So, mother, you see, in this situation, how can I take a meeting gift? Oh, right, I bought He Miao a pen. That was my old salary... Sister-in-law knows about it. I... I'm really sorry. I can't afford anything else for now, but I will buy her something in the future. I'll buy her whatever she wants."
He was hesitant in saying this, but he was being frank, saying that he had nothing on hand.
Sun Yuying paused, looking at Han Duomi's flushed face, and frowned, "So, you came here specifically to ask for my approval for you and He Miao to be together, and in the end, I got nothing? Not even a little token of engagement?"
Han Duomi rubbed his hands, extremely nervous: "...Yes. Oh no, I, I still saved a little money, yes, yes, I want to buy He Miao a nice dress, but it's not enough... I'm sorry, mother, I... I'm really poor, I'm sorry..."
Han Duomi lowered his head lower and lower, feeling so embarrassed that he wished there was a hole in the ground for him to crawl into.
Yu Hemiao immediately stepped forward and stood beside Han Duomi:
"Mom, we're all students, and we only get a few dollars a month as allowance. Meanwhile, Han Duomi buys me food and water, and even buys me apples instead of eating himself. How can he possibly have the money?"
"Shut up!" Sun Yuying pulled Yu Hemiao behind her and said righteously, "Even the poorest family in the countryside should buy a piece of Dacron cloth. How much money can it cost? If he has nothing, then he can marry into our family. I will propose to him!"
Yu Hemiao was anxious: "Mom, what are you talking about?"
Han Duomi, however, was clear-headed and finally dared to speak again: "Mom, you're right. It's what I should do. I just said, I, I want to buy clothes for He Miao... ah, yes, buy Dacron. I will buy it, I will definitely buy it. I can afford Dacron, Mom."
Sun Yuying's lips curled up secretly, but she tried to restrain her expression: "Okay! Then you go buy it tomorrow! You have to find a matchmaker to tell me, not you yourself, so let's just leave it at that!"
This made people very happy. Han Duomi agreed repeatedly, like a chicken pecking at rice: "Hey, hey, okay, mother, I will go buy it as soon as the sun rises. Matchmaker... Hey, sister-in-law! Sister-in-law, you are the most willing to help me. Can you be the matchmaker? I bow to you!"
