In the end, the brainwashed Li Hongqin followed Li Hongru back. After hearing Zhang Erying's story, her three views were being reshaped.
Along the way, Li Hongru was very unhappy. He finally had a chance to meet his sister, but his sister ruined it. He decided not to bring her here again.
"Host, what are you doing? I asked you to persuade people, not brainwash them." The Yue Lao System was so angry that it kept chattering.
As soon as he met Li Hongqin, the Yue Lao system gave Zhang Weifang a task to save Li Hongqin's red thread.
For the sake of points, Zhang Weifang agreed without thinking, but who could have thought that Li Hongqin was a love-brained person. She had no choice but to fight poison with poison.
"Host, is your method feasible? If not, you will be deducted points."
"I have to do it, I have no other choice now."
After Li Hongqin returned home, she went straight into her room and refused to eat or talk to anyone.
Ma Shulan thought that she had a conflict with the third brother, and did not think much about it. She just put the leftover food away in the cupboard.
In the afternoon, Li Hongqin came out of the room. She slowly walked to Ma Shulan and asked in a low voice:
"Mom, what do you think of Weifang?"
Ma Shulan glanced at her and said seriously:
"It's good, it's a good match for your third brother."
"Mom, do you know? Today I heard Weifang say..." Li Hongqin recounted Zhang Erying's story and then asked:
"Mom, do you also think Erying's approach is correct?"
"Right as hell! She even gave up her parents who gave birth to her. She's an unfilial thing. She disregards ethics for a man. She's shameless." Ma Shulan despises this kind of person the most.
"But Weifang thinks Erying's behavior is true love. Do you think she likes my third brother the same way?"
After hearing this, Ma Shulan was shocked. She thought Zhang Weifang was a good girl, but she didn't expect her brain to be so... However, this was her son's girlfriend, so she couldn't jump to conclusions.
"Third brother, third brother, please come out for a moment." Ma Shulan called Li Hongru out, looked him up and down before asking:
"Weifang is really... like, does she usually listen to you?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Li Hongru felt that his mother's question was a bit strange, but he still answered it. Weifang was usually very gentle to her.
"Then you should be nicer to her in the future, be sensible, and don't go too far." Ma Shulan is now worried that he will brainwash Zhang Weifang.
"I know, I will treat her well."
Li Hongqin was a little speechless. She looked at her mother and third brother, not knowing who to persuade, but she felt that this shouldn't be the case.
She ran out secretly and came to the grove where she was going to meet Wang Chunfeng. She didn't know whether Wang Chunfeng would come today, so she came to try her luck.
After a while, Wang Chunfeng appeared. He was running out of breath and his hair was wet with sweat.
"Xiaoqin, I finally waited for you. Are you doing well? I missed you so much these days."
"I'm fine. I go to the fields with my mom every day to work. I miss you, too."
The two young lovers held hands and expressed their longing for each other.
Wang Chunfeng was very satisfied when he knew that Li Hongqin went to work in the fields. This way, she could start working directly after marrying him.
"Hongqin, you are really capable. I knew you were a hardworking girl."
"That's all. What about you? What are you busy with?"
"Uh, I'm working too."
Wang Chunfeng felt a little guilty. In fact, he ran around everywhere every day and occasionally played cards, but he definitely couldn't say it out loud.
"Chunfeng, does your family have any objection to our relationship?"
"Of course not. My family likes you very much and wants you to marry us as soon as possible." Wang Chunfeng said solemnly.
"Then where will we live after we get married?" Li Hongqin was also very happy. Her in-laws were satisfied with her, and she would definitely live a good life in the future.
Wang Chunfeng glanced at Li Hongqin, then quietly lowered his head and said in a distressed tone:
"Xiaoqin, you know my situation. I really don't have the money to build a house. I have to put you in trouble for the time being, but I will try my best to let you live a good life."
"It's okay, Chunfeng, I believe you."
The two of them were sweet and affectionate for a long time before Li Hongqin asked her partner about Zhang Erying:
"Chunfeng, do you think Zhang Erying's approach is right?"
Wang Chunfeng secretly despised her in his heart. Only a fool would be like her. But he looked happy. If only Li Hongqin could be like Zhang Erying. Thinking of this, he pretended to think and then slowly replied:
"I think she is serious about love and it's something we can learn from."
"Ah? You think so too?" Li Hongqin collapsed and became depressed. Why did her boyfriend think so too?
She felt as if she didn't recognize the people around her, nor did she recognize the world.
Lying on the kang at night, Li Hongqin tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and kept thinking about what love is.
Time passes day by day, like flowing water without stopping.
Li Hongru and Zhang Weifang also met their parents. At the end of August, the two held an engagement banquet. It was called an engagement, but in fact it was just the parents of both sides sitting together and having a meal.
They were all farmers and didn't have to be so particular. They just set up two simple tables at Zhang Weifang's house for the elders of the Zhang family to meet the guests.
There were six dishes on each table, including four-happiness meatballs, pork vermicelli, pork belly stewed with tofu, zucchini and eggs, cold cucumber salad, and roasted eggplant. The staple food was cornmeal buns.
Li Hongru bought all the meat through his second brother's connections. Everyone ate their fill and were very satisfied.
Therefore, the elders of the Zhang family also looked favorably upon Li Hongru as their son-in-law, and were much more polite to the Li family.
The betrothal gift was finalized on the day of engagement. In a year like this, most people would give 50 kilograms of grain, which would be equivalent to about ten or twenty yuan in cash.
However, in order to show his appreciation for Zhang Weifang, Li Hongru gave her a betrothal gift of 50 yuan.
This incident not only shocked the Zhang family, but also Li Guifang and Ma Shulan, their eyes widened. They did not expect the third brother to be so generous.
On the happy day, the Li family did not get angry on the spot, but they were all unhappy in their hearts.
Only Li Hongru smiled like a fool, he finally had a legitimate status.
The wedding date was set on September 19th, which means long-lasting.
After the engagement, both families were busy preparing for the wedding.
When they returned home that night, Li Guifang criticized and educated Li Hongru:
"Third brother, what's going on with the betrothal gift? Didn't we agree on 20 yuan?"
"Dad, 20 yuan is too little. How can I let Weifang down? I'll pay the rest myself."
"It's not a question of whether to compensate or not. Your approach is likely to cause conflict. Your sister-in-law thought 20 yuan was too expensive."
"Dad, I have the final say on my marriage."
