Chapter 7: Unified Opinion
"I plan to marry Lu Yuan as my husband."
When Xiao Li said this, the old couple were stunned at first, then in disbelief, and finally looked confused.
It took a long while for Li Jinhua to find her voice again.
"Li'er, the Lu Yuan you're talking about is Lu Youfu's cousin, Brother Yuan?"
Xiao Li nodded, "Yes, it's Brother Yuan, what do you think, Grandma?"
Li Jinhua seemed to be hesitant to speak, and looked at him with both hesitation and hesitation, while her hands were frantically clapping at Xiao Shugen beside her.
"You tell me, old man."
"..."
Xiao Shugen opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word for a long time. He took a deep breath and closed his mouth again.
Xiao Li didn't care about the couple's quarrel.
"Brother Yuan saved my life, so his heart is naturally with me. There is no need to worry about repeating Lu Youfu's mistakes."
The old lady still looked very conflicted, "But Brother Yuan is really too...
It's not that grandma judges people by appearance, but you are going to be a scholar or even an official in the future. We don't require your wife to be literate or sensible, but at least she has to be well-behaved and dignified. Brother Yuan really..."
To be honest, the old lady's words were quite tactful.
Brother Yuan, whose true face was not revealed, wore gray coarse linen clothes all day long. His skinny body was hunched over all day long. His hair was dry and yellow. When he occasionally raised his face, it was dirty. Even men who could not afford to marry would not even look at him twice.
In Li Jinhua's mind, her precious grandson could even marry a girl from the city, so how could he marry such a sloppy boy?
After thinking about it, the old lady still felt that it was not possible.
"Saving a life is saving a life, how can it be treated as a small matter? If Li'er wants to repay him, you can send him more silver and food in the future, or wait until you become a scholar, and then find him a man with good conditions, but you must not sacrifice yourself!"
Xiao Li waited until she finished speaking before nodding to indicate that he understood, and then looked at Xiao Shugen.
"Grandpa, do you have anything to say?"
Xiao Shugen held down his anxious old wife, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and acted as if he was serious.
"Did you make this hastily? Or have you thought it through carefully?"
"Of course I've thought about it seriously." Xiao Li answered confidently, without a trace of joking. "Besides, Brother Yuan is very smart. He deliberately made himself look like that just to live a stable life."
The old lady is a woman and has no boys among her children, so she cannot understand the idea of deliberately making herself ugly to make everyone disgusted.
Lin Cao, as a brother as well, reacted quickly and couldn't help but sigh.
"Men are not as popular as women. Moreover, Brother Yuan and his little father are both orphans and widows. They are also men, so they are easily targeted by hooligans. By making themselves slovenly and unrecognizable, they can avoid being discovered by those bad guys as much as possible."
Li Jinhua had never thought about this before, and she fell silent after hearing this. After a while, she looked at Xiao Li with a frown and asked him.
"Did Brother Yuan dress like that on purpose?"
Xiao Li nodded in agreement.
The old lady hesitated to speak, and in the end she couldn't say anything to tell him not to marry Yuan Ge'er.
Ultimately, children and grandchildren are debts.
She sighed, "Since Brother Yuan is not what we saw, it's not impossible for you to marry him, but...
We went to the Lu family today to break off the engagement, but we didn't give the Lu family or Lu Youfu any face. And now we're going to ask for Yuan'er's hand in marriage. I'm afraid the Lu family will not only overthink things, but also make things difficult for us."
The old lady's concerns were not unreasonable, but in Xiao Li's opinion, these were nothing.
"Don't worry, Grandma. The Lu family was in the wrong regarding Lu Youfu. Even if the Lu family wants to embarrass us, if the incident gets out of hand, it will ultimately have a greater impact on them.
Moreover, Lu Youfu is still dreaming of becoming the prince's consort, so naturally she must have a clean family background and a good reputation. Even for her own sake, she will find a way to resolve the difficulties the Lu family has caused us.
Besides, Yuan'er's father is still alive, so Uncle Lin can decide his marriage, and the Lu family can't interfere much.
After you marry Yuan Ge'er, you can bring Uncle Lin out. You can visit the Lu family during festivals and holidays, but you don't need to interact with them too much at other times."
It was rare for Li Jinhua to hear her precious grandson talk so much, and for a moment she felt both relieved and complicated.
The good news is that he seems to be getting closer and closer to his family, but the complicated thing is that these changes are all because he is going to get married.
Xiao Shugen had slept in the same bed with her for decades, so he knew what she was thinking. Seeing this, he patted her hand.
Li Jinhua smiled and shook her head at him, then glanced at her son, husband, grandchildren and grandchildren one by one.
"I was the one who arranged the wives for the eldest and second sons. Because of them, our Xiao family split up and severed some relatives. It shows that I am really bad at judging people."
Seeing that everyone looked anxious, she waved her hand nonchalantly.
"I'm fine. I'm already old, what can I not see clearly? Although I also had my eyes on Cao Ge'er, the fact that the third brother was able to marry Cao Ge'er in the end was his own ability, and it has nothing to do with an old woman like me."
Xiao Laosan's eyes were slightly red, "Mom."
Lin Cao's eyes also turned red.
Bao Ge'er looked at this and that, with a big look of confusion on his little face.
As an "outsider", Xiao Li now has the family affection that was once out of reach. Seeing the family living in such harmony, he was moved.
However, having experienced the end of the world, his heart was cold and hard enough, so he quickly calmed down and listened quietly to what the old lady said.
"Li'er has a keen eye for people and has seen more of the world than us. Since he thinks Yuan'er is a good person, then I believe that Yuan'er is a good person. After all, our family conditions are getting better and better, so we can afford to feed one more mouth. As for what Li'er said about Yuan'er's father..."
Lin Cao nudged Xiao Laosan next to him with his elbow, and Xiao Laosan reacted immediately and expressed his attitude.
"Our old house is so big, it's no problem for a few more people to live here. Yuan'er's father is self-reliant in the Lu family. I think he has a way to make a living. It's not like we have to support one more person for nothing. It's okay for them to live together, but..."
After a pause, he glanced at Xiao Li, lowered his head and touched the back of his neck embarrassedly.
"If this father-in-law lives with his son's husband's family for a long time, it will give him a bad reputation."
This reputation is not just the reputation of a certain person, but the reputation of their entire Xiao family, which can be big or small.
Since it concerns his reputation, even if Xiao Shugen didn't want to speak, he had to speak.
"Before Li'er got married, he fenced off two plots of land next to the house. He built a small house on the smaller one and let Yuan'er's father live there.
The remaining large piece of land will be used to build a small courtyard for Li'er and his wife to live in. As for this old house..."
Xiao Shugen glanced at his third son and his wife, who had never shared a few days of happiness with him, and said through gritted teeth, "When we have enough money in a year or two, we will tear down the old house and rebuild it."
Hearing this, Xiao Lao San couldn't hold back his tears anymore, turned his head and wiped his tears secretly.
Lin Cao wasn't much better off, as Baoger kept pestering him and asking him why he was crying, which made him feel extremely embarrassed.
Seeing that his family always puts him first, Xiao Li can't just wait and enjoy himself.
He tapped the table with his fingers, drawing everyone's attention.
"I'll take care of the money issue. As for building a house..." He paused, his tone suddenly becoming more forceful. "Just build one. Let others say whatever they want. As long as we have a clear conscience, are safe and healthy, nothing else matters."
Because he treated them as his own family, Xiao Li did not use his psychic powers on them, otherwise why would he have talked for so long.
Although Xiao Shugen doesn't get involved in things most of the time, when things really come to a head, it is often him, the head of the family, who steps in.
After listening to his grandson's words, Xiao Shugen pondered for a while before making a final decision, "I'll listen to Li'er on this matter!"
Hearing this, Xiao Li breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with a look of relief.
It is good to have the support of family members after all. They have lived up to your expectations and are worthy of your protection in the future.
There are less than three years left before the famine occurs. Not only does the heroine need to be prepared, but he also needs to be prepared.
