Chapter 197 Mother Li is Here



Gu Qingning returned home and continued to work on her job.

A neatly cut, elegant and comfortable sample garment is about to be completed, but Gu Qingning is still making modifications to strive for perfection.

"Look at you, you're serious. I've even walked in and you haven't reacted yet. If a grown man suddenly walks in, I'm afraid he'll take you away without you even knowing what's going on."

Gu Qingning didn't care at all: "It's broad daylight, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid of ghosts coming to your door?"

If that day really comes, then 888 will be waiting for you.

Li Huan smiled and sat beside her, saying, "You're so naughty. Seriously, I'm here to get some fabric from you again."

"So, have you settled things at home? Have you started saving up for your wedding dowry?"

Li Huan's face flushed, and after a moment of hesitation, he said, "My parents will be coming from the city in a couple of days. They said they're planning to have dinner with the Li family."

"Oh, it's settled already?" Gu Qingning was genuinely happy for her. "It should have been like this a long time ago. You two are a match made in heaven. Who knows how sweet and sweet your future will be!"

"You, you keep talking nonsense all day long, and your waist is looser than cotton pants!"

Although Li Huan said this, her apple-like face was still rosy and her eyes were sparkling, which made people feel warm at the sight of her.

"We can be together thanks to you, the matchmaker. I've secretly seen Li Laosi several times in the past few days. He's a simple and honest man with a lot of strength. He's capable and responsible. My parents can rest assured after seeing him."

Gu Qingning also nodded in agreement. Farmers are strong and sturdy. You will soon understand the benefits of this...

"As long as you're satisfied, just live your life well for now. As for returning to the city, maybe there will be a turning point in two years."

Gu Qingning couldn't bring up the matter of the resumption of the college entrance examination, so she could only mention it briefly.

Li Huan shook her head. "I'm quite content with my current life. If I can't go back to the city, then I won't. Aren't there many educated youths across the country who married in the countryside? It doesn't matter."

I can't stay with my parents anymore.

However, there are many children in the family and my parents are too busy to take care of them all day. It would be better for me to get married so that they can take care of them.

In the village, Aunt Li was busy running around, extremely anxious.

The whole house was cleaned up, as if it had been washed by a flood. Even the big black pot was polished to a shine. Even the big black dog kept at the gate of the yard was caught and given a bath, and turned into a big yellow dog!

Seeing Aunt Li spinning around like a quail, Li Laosi couldn't help laughing: "Mom, you're grinding the mill, turning around and around. Why don't you sit down and rest and have a drink of water?"

Aunt Li was so disappointed with her husband that she was almost on fire. "What are you talking about? You're marrying an educated young woman from the city. She's pretty and educated. Will she look down on our family?"

Her husband injured his leg in his early years, and she had to raise several young boys by herself, and they were extremely poor.

My home is still a mud-walled and thatched house. I don’t know if the relatives from the city can bear it!

Li Laosi didn't care at all: "What's wrong with being a city person? They don't have more arms and legs than us country people. Just swallow your heart, Mom. Li Zhiqing's parents are not the kind of people who have their eyes on the top of their heads."

"You, you, you fool! Forget it, I can't explain it to you, just go away!"

Aunt Li was like a cat scratching its head, with one idea coming up every moment.

She had no other choice but to knock on Gu Qingning's door with a bag of sour dates in her hand. "Gu Zhiqing, are you free now? I heard you've been having morning sickness lately, so I picked some sour dates from the mountains just for you. Would you like some?"

"What's wrong, Aunt Li?"

Seeing that Aunt Li was so nervous that she didn't know where to put her hands, she quickly poured Aunt Li a cup of hot water and even mixed in some malted milk: "Aunt, why are you so nervous?"

Aunt Li rubbed her hands together and said with increasing uneasiness, "I do love Xiao Huan, but she's a city girl after all. If she marries into our country, won't she be wronged?"

When Gu Qingning heard her words, she knew what her aunt was worried about.

"Auntie, don't worry. You know Xiao Huan isn't that kind of woman who doesn't like things. Her family is just like her, and they're all easy to get along with. What is there to worry about?"

Aunt Li swallowed her saliva and said, "But I'm happy. If I were to switch places and marry my own daughter off to such a faraway village, I would definitely be very reluctant to let her go!"

Aunt Li is kind-hearted and naturally considers others.

The love for daughters is the same.

Gu Qingning smiled and said, "With your words, I believe that Xiao Huan will definitely have a good life in the future. After all, you care so much about her, Auntie. If Old Lady Lu had half the care you do, she wouldn't have made such a fuss today."

Speaking of Old Mrs. Lu, Aunt Li also gnashed her teeth in hatred.

"Who hasn't been a young wife? You suffered as a young wife back then, and now you turn around and torture your daughter-in-law. Your heart is really darker than an asshole! Treating the daughter-in-law like this, and expecting her to take care of your excrement and urine when you are old, have you ever given her a sip of milk? You have no ability at all, but you still want to be served comfortably. Does she think she is that old witch Empress Dowager Cixi?"

Gu Qingning patted her thigh, thinking that Aunt Li was really good at talking.

She just likes to listen to Aunt Li scolding people.

"But now you're pregnant and have a family, so your life will definitely be getting better and better."

Gu Qingning looked at Aunt Li and reminded her, "Aunt, I see that the soles of your shoes are almost worn out these days. There is no need to prepare such a rich gift. Just prepare it as usual."

Aunt Li swallowed her saliva and said, "I know that, but I feel uneasy."

"What's there to be proud of? Your Li family is of good family background, it's not like they've committed any crime. Besides, your two previous sons' wives are also kind. If you don't treat them equally, Li Huan won't be able to hold his head high when he gets married."

Aunt Li finally reacted and quickly grabbed her hand.

"Thank goodness you reminded me, I was really thinking the wrong thing, you are right!"

Three days later, Li Huan's parents arrived at the village exhausted.

"Xiao Huan, you've suffered!"

After taking trains and buses for several days and changing cars several times, she finally saw her daughter. Her mother's eyes were red.

Li Huan's eyes were also filled with tears, but she forced a smile: "Mom, we finally get to meet each other, why are you crying?"

The mother and daughter couldn't help but hugged each other and cried for a long time.

"The environment here is too bad. It can't be compared with the city. Although the house is a little small, it shouldn't be in this state. Xiao Huan, you married so far away. If you were wronged, your mother wouldn't know how to help you!"

What if my daughter gets beaten in the future after marrying such a country man?
