"Okay, you two brothers can chat first, we sisters will have a private chat."

Ruan Ruan pulled Li Huan over and walked towards her room. After entering, Ruan Ruan closed the door and the two sat on the bed.

"Tell me, sister, what's going on between you and Hao Shi?"

"You know the situation of my family. When I was a child, because of you, the brothers and sisters of the Huo family were very kind to me. I also sincerely regarded them as my family. I was able to go to school with you every day. After school, you also helped me to cut grass for pigs so that I could get centimeters. I am really grateful.

As time goes by and I grow up, some aunties would talk behind my back in front of my grandmother, saying that I am just a girl, why should I read so many books, it will be enough to know a few words, and I will get married in the future anyway, so why waste the money.

My grandma would talk back at first, but as more people came to talk to her, she gradually didn’t want to go out anymore. If Grandma Huo and Grandma Li (mother of village party secretary Li Dabing) hadn’t come to talk to my grandma, and occasionally take her out for a walk, she would really have stayed at home all the time.

Just two years ago, people started coming to my house to propose marriage to me. You know, I was only 16 years old at that time. They came, and I didn't say that I didn't want to be proposed to. I told the matchmaker, "Marriage is possible, but I have to take care of my grandma, so the person who marries me will also have to take care of my grandma with me."

You don’t know how harsh their words are, like ‘marry the younger one, not the older one’, ‘are you marrying a wife or a family’, and some even said my grandma was a burden to me, and cursed that if she was nice to me, she would die quickly…”

Recalling the malicious words that those people had said to slander his grandmother, Li Huan burst into tears. Or perhaps it was because he now had an outlet for his emotions that he could no longer hold back.

"What they said was really too much. It's fine if they don't agree to my request, but I don't have to ask him to marry me. How can they say such things?"

"We are not sad. In fact, if you think about it from another perspective, it is better to say what you really want to say at the beginning, rather than agreeing to it and then going against your will after marriage. At that time, you really can't say anything about your pain."

Ruan Ruan hugged Li Huan, patted her back gently with both hands, and comforted her softly.

The Huo brothers outside the door felt bad when they heard what Li Huan said, especially Huo Haoshi. He saw Li Huan's condition during that period. On the one hand, he had to take care of Grandma Li's emotions, and on the other hand, he had to act as if nothing had happened in front of Ruan Ruan and her brothers and sisters. He really felt sorry for this girl.

"Let's not talk about these unhappy things. How did you get together with Hao Shi?"

After watching Li Huan vent his emotions, Ruan Ruan changed the subject and wanted to talk about happy things.

"Some time ago, when I was collecting grass for pigs, I walked a little too deep in the mountains, and then I was harassed by Wang Laizi from the next village. He said some dirty words to me, and I shouted loudly. It was too remote and there was no one around. When he tried to force me, I hit his head with a stone, and I ran away when he was not paying attention. But in the process of running away, I slipped and fell down the hillside, hurting my foot, and my clothes were also scratched by branches in several places. At that time, I was scared and sad, and I didn’t see Brother Haoshi until it was almost dark."

"Ruan Ruan, you don't know that when Brother Hao Shi appeared, there was light all over his body, just like what was written in the storybook, the prince charming appeared on a colorful cloud."

"That's it"

Seeing the way Li Huan talked about Huo Hao, Ruan Ruan shook her head and felt that she was hopeless. She was in love.

"Isn't that enough?"

Li Huan didn't understand why Ruan Ruan shook her head

"Did he do anything for you afterwards?"

"During my recovery period, Brother Haoshi came to help me fetch water, chop firewood, buy me clothes and snacks, and he also turned over the private plot at home. It was really nice. Brother Haoshi treated me very well."

Li Huan held Ruan Ruan's arm and looked at her sincerely, fearing that Ruan Ruan would think Huo Haoshi was not good.

Ruan Ruan still understood what kind of person Huo Haoshi was. Otherwise, after Huo Haocheng's death, she would not be able to support the Huo family and take care of her parents alone.

"As long as he treats you well, do you think you are happy now?"

What Ruan Ruan cares most about is whether the two of them will be happy together. She doesn't want them to quarrel over daily necessities in the future and hurt their feelings for each other.

"Yeah, I feel very happy now. Brother Haoshi said that he would stay with me and take care of grandma, me, and our future children."

When talking about children, Li Huan lowered his head shyly and clenched his hands nervously.

"As long as you feel happy"

It seemed that they had thought it through clearly and had a preliminary plan for their married life. Ruan Ruan didn't say anything. After all, this was their life and they had to walk it slowly on their own.

"Then find a chance to tell Grandma Li about it. Who knows, my grandma might come to talk to your grandma about your affairs someday."

"Okay, I'll tell grandma when she comes back. Actually, grandma knows about me and Brother Haoshi. She also thinks that Brother Haoshi is a good person, so she has been away from home for a while."

Maybe Grandma Li saw how much Huo Haoshi valued Li Huan and put her worries aside, so she was willing to go out.

"That's good. You guys should get your business over with. Otherwise, if other people see you, they'll gossip about you again."

Ruan Ruan was not worried about the Li family, but the Huo family's attitude. If they got married, Huo Haoshi would be like marrying into the family. She didn't know whether the Huo family would agree.

"Okay, let's go out first. I'm afraid Haoshi will get worried if we continue talking."

"By the way, I brought you a gift from the capital. Come to my house tomorrow and I'll give it to you."

It was getting late. When the two came out, Huo Haoshi and Huo Haocheng had already plowed the ground and sprinkled water on it, so they could start planting vegetables directly.
