Seeing that Li Qiang was staring at her without saying a word, Lin Piaoxue's face turned cold. She had already lowered her demands, yet Li Qiang still dared to provoke her. He really didn't know what was good for him!
"I'm willing to marry you because you're honest, hardworking, and reliable. If you don't want to, then forget it."
Seeing that Lin Piaoxue was angry, Li Qiang said frankly, "Although I don't have much ability, I'm not willing to marry just any Tom, Dick, or Harry."
"My wife must be of good character and not be promiscuous. If you can do that, I will ask a matchmaker to come and propose marriage. If you can't, then forget it."
“No problem, I have conditions too,” Lin Piaoxue said.
"What are the conditions?" Li Qiang asked.
"The profits from the convenience store are enough to live on, so I'll keep it. Besides, I've never done any work since I was a child, and I'm not capable of doing any work. I also won't take care of your parents. The money you earn will be handed over to me for safekeeping. If you ever change your mind about me, all the family property must belong to me," Lin Piaoxue said.
Li Qiang laughed in exasperation. As expected of Lin Piaoxue, she never suffers a loss.
"So you're looking for free labor?" Li Qiang raised an eyebrow and said.
Upon hearing this, Lin Piaoxue immediately became displeased. "What free labor? If I marry you, I'll have to bear your children. My father is still a small brick factory owner, and I have my own income. The money I save is for our children. You're lucky to have married me. You should be secretly happy!"
"Besides, your father doesn't love you and your mother doesn't care about you. You're already twenty-five, and your parents still haven't arranged a marriage for you. If this drags on any longer, you'll be an old bachelor, and it will be difficult for you to find a wife."
Lin Piaoxue was telling the truth, and Li Qiang had no reply.
Li Qiang stared at Lin Piaoxue for a long time, then smiled slightly and said, "I've made a profit by marrying the girl that every man in the village wants to marry."
Lin Piaoxue was secretly delighted; Li Qiang had agreed to marry her.
Li Qiang said, "Lin Piaoxue, you'd better think this through. Once you marry me, you'll be mine, and I won't let you leave."
"Oh! I didn't expect you, a quiet person, to be so possessive," Lin Piaoxue said with a smile.
Li Qiang said seriously, "I'm just being true to my feelings."
"I like men who are loyal and faithful. I hope you will always remember what I said today, and don't go looking for young and beautiful girls when you have money in the future and I am old and faded."
“Lin Piaoxue, you’re becoming more and more insecure. This isn’t like you at all,” Li Qiang said.
Lin Piaoxue said, "My family has already separated, and I now have my own household registration. Lin Qinghuan has found a rich and capable partner, and my grandfather dotes on her. Everyone in the family is on her side, and they all look down on me now. Everything I do is wrong. Do you think I can still act as freely as before in my current situation?"
"Piaoxue, you've grown up." Li Qiang said, lighting a cigarette, taking a deep drag, giving Lin Piaoxue a long look, and then turning to leave.
Lin Piaoxue watched Li Qiang's retreating figure, her feelings complicated. In her previous life, she had married the wrong person; the man was incompetent and arrogant, unlike Qin Zhen, who was young and promising and treated Lin Qinghuan exceptionally well. Unfortunately, Qin Zhen didn't think much of her.
Moreover, her reputation is bad now, so it will be difficult for her to marry into a good family. She can only make do with marrying Li Qiang!
Lin Qinghuan married even better than she did in her previous life. My own marriages in both of my lives couldn't compare to Lin Qinghuan's. I feel so resentful and unwilling to accept it.
Why do people born to the same parents have such different fates?
Why did you give yourself a second chance at life, but not a good marriage?
