Tao Chun was quite satisfied with Li Manjiang’s performance.
A man is like this: he might like won other than his wife, but his brother-in-law or son-in-law behaving in such a way is absolutely unacceptable.
"Do you two comrades have any other business?" Tao Chun asked once more.
Pan Xiaoying glanced at Tao Chun and turned away. She still had fantasies about Tao Chun and didn’t want to leave a bad impression on him.
But Yan Shuping was genuinely hit hard. This was the best condition she had seen, but how did she lose her chance so quickly?
She stared at Li Manjiang, "Mr. Li, are you really getting engaged? You have many choices."
Tao Yanzhen chuckled, "Many choices, and you’re one of them?"
This matter wasn’t really embarrassing if it wasn’t pointed out, but now that it was blatantly exposed, Yan Shuping’s face was unpleasant.
Yan Shuping didn’t respond to others’ questions; she just kept staring at Li Manjiang.
Wang nglin still had an expressionless face. However, she felt quite uncomfortable inside.
"Comrade, I don’t know you. Please don’t talk nonsense. I’m eager to get engaged to Mr. Wang.
Please don’t speak irresponsibly like this; you’re causing trouble."
Once Li Manjiang spoke, Yan Shuping looked at him like he was a heartless man.
Wang nglin was genuinely disgusted now. A contemptuous expression finally appeared on her face as she looked at Yan Shuping.
"Are you out of your mind? Are you just living in your own imagination?
But please see yourself clearly. Just you?"
Yan Shuping was truly provoked, having received a notice from her family that she couldn’t go back anymore, except to send money to the family, that’s it.
After receiving the family’s letter, she felt sowhat stimulated.
After barely recovering, she saw hope again, but she didn’t expect it to be shattered so soon. This was the final straw that broke her.
After hearing Li Manjiang and Wang nglin’s words, she directly broke down.
She wasn’t as pretty as Wang nglin, nor as wealthy, but she was capable and well-liked. Li Manjiang truly was blind.
Crying, she ran off, leaving the four people behind bewildered.
However, Li Manjiang imdiately expressed his stance. He looked at Wang nglin, "I truly don’t know her; this is the first ti I’ve t her today."
Wang nglin was rational, and she knew the truth, so she nodded, "I believe what you’re saying."
However, the feeling of discomfort quickly set in. Although she had no feelings for Li Manjiang, it was as if sothing of hers was being eyed by others, leaving her very uncomfortable.
Tao Yanzhen smiled as she glanced at Li Manjiang; his performance this ti was acceptable.
Tao Chun entered the courtyard at this mont, "Are you two ready? Shall we go over now?"
"All set."
Tao Yanzhen went inside, grabbing two bottles of wine and two packages of snacks.
Tao Chun locked the door, and the four headed toward the Li Family’s house.
Li Manjiang stayed by Wang nglin’s side, wanting to say sothing but not knowing what to say.
The two families weren’t far apart; it only took a few minutes to arrive.
The Li Family courtyard was particularly lively; the children didn’t go out, after all, it was the eldest brother’s big day of joy.
Li Yunqiang’s brother Liu Cuilan didn’t go to work today either.
As Wang nglin entered the courtyard, she felt particularly comfortable, sensing warmth.
There were many people in the courtyard, so familiar, so not. A rich aroma of at wafted out from the kitchen.
This is what ho should feel like, right? Unconsciously, a smile appeared in Wang nglin’s eyes.
Qu Xiaoli imdiately ca out to greet them, grabbing the hands of Wang nglin and Tao Yanzhen, "Hurry inside."
Tao Yanzhen smiled and chatted with Qu Xiaoli.
At this mont, the won in the kitchen also ca out. Even Lu Fengzhen ca out holding a child.
Qu Xiaoli introduced to Wang nglin, "This is your aunt, holding in her arms your uncle’s youngest son, Li Hongpeng.
This is your fourth aunt; you should know her since she’s from the sa village, right?"
"Aunt, I know Fourth Aunt."
Lu Fengzhen smiled broadly at Wang nglin, "This big niece-in-law is really good-looking." She liked pretty ones.
Wang nglin obediently called out, "Auntie."
This made Lu Fengzhen’s eyes crinkle with joy.
Li Xue also joined in, "Sister-in-law."
Wang nglin smiled and nodded, "Hello, Li Xue."
"Sister-in-law, this is my sister-in-law, from my big brother Honglin’s family."
Zheng Lihong also smiled and greeted, "Sister-in-law." Wang nglin was the Li family’s well-deserved sister-in-law, eldest sister-in-law.
Wang nglin also smiled and nodded, greeting her, "Hello."
"Let’s chat inside," Qu Xiaoli continued to hold Wang nglin’s hand without letting go.
This daughter-in-law satisfied Qu Xiaoli, as she understood what had happened to the child. It was normal for her to be so quiet. This had left a scar on the child’s heart.
Indeed, anyone in such a situation would be hurt, let alone a ten-year-old child.
Therefore, Qu Xiaoli felt very sorry for her, believing that this child had really suffered a lot.
After entering the house, the n stood up, and Qu Xiaoli introduced Wang nglin, "ng Lin, this is your uncle, Li Xue’s father."
"Hello, Uncle."
Li Yunqiao smiled and nodded, "Hello to you too. It’s our first eting; feel free to visit our ho in the future."
Wang nglin smiled and nodded. To this proud figure of Li Family Village, Wang nglin often heard about him.
Seeing him in person, she sighed inwardly. A commoner reaching this point without any aid was typical for Li Yunqiao.
He had a natural affability, sothing not to be underestimated. This was crucial in human relationships.
"ng Lin, this is Hong Lin, the eldest in your uncle’s family."
"Hello, Sister-in-law," Li Honglin greeted formally, feeling that this sister-in-law must be a formidable person.
Wang nglin also smiled and returned the greeting.
Now everyone unfamiliar had been introduced. Afterward, Li Manjiang introduced the Tao family’s brothers and sisters to his family.
Everyone exchanged greetings, while Zheng Lihong and Li Xue went to the kitchen.
Today, it was just the family; along with their three siblings, there was braised pork and the two fish Li Yungui netted in the morning.
The rest were stir-fried dishes, with white rice as the main course.
Lu Fengzhen handed the child to Li Yunqiao and went to the kitchen to help. Today, Qu Xiaoli sat on the brick bed, holding Wang nglin’s hand and chatting.
Tao Chun and Honglin were getting along quite well.
Although she was the only girl, Tao Yanzhen sat steadily with a smile on her face.
Li Yunqiao had a very high opinion of the Tao family siblings. They were truly children cultivated by affluent families.
Although this daughter-in-law didn’t have many expressions, her actions were always appropriate. She must be highly valued at ho.
Listening to Honglin talking with that young man, one could discern the difference between the two.
