Chapter 13 Don't Worry About It
Li Qingqing came to Zhou's house, originally wanting to explain the whole story to Zhou Yimo and Aunt Zhou.
However, he accidentally overheard the conversation between Zhou Yimo and Aunt Zhou, and was surprised that the Zhou family completely accepted his request.
This surprised her.
"I came here for Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang's matter," Li Qingqing explained. "I just happened to overhear your conversation with Aunt Zhou."
"Don't worry! My mother will treat Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang well, and she will treat you well too!
The day after tomorrow, I will go to your house with Matchmaker Zhou to propose marriage!"
Zhou Yimo blushed a little.
"Okay!" Seeing his handsome face slightly red, Li Qingqing smiled guiltily.
The village is full of poor families, so there are no formalities. They just need to let the matchmaker go to the girl's family to act as a matchmaker. After both families agree to the marriage, the man pays the betrothal gift and can take the girl and her dowry home on the spot.
Of course, after taking the girl home, the man not only needs to entertain the villagers, but also needs to re-register the identity information of the two people at the government office and exchange them for new ivory plates.
And this ivory card is exactly what Li Qingqing wants.
"If you find a woman you like in the future, we can divorce in the future." Li Qingqing was worried that Zhou Yimo was just acting on impulse.
"Since I'm marrying you, how can I let you down? Don't mention this matter again!" Zhou Yimo didn't know how to explain to Li Qingqing. There was a hint of anxiety in his deep eyes.
No, there's nothing to explain, right? Which man gets married just to get married and leave?
This was a marriage with the purpose of growing old together.
How could Zhou Yimo be a treacherous person?
Zhou Yimo smiled helplessly at Li Qingqing.
When Li Qingqing heard Zhou Yimo say this, she stopped discussing the topic.
So good.
The sky was dark and it seemed like it was going to rain again, so Li Qingqing was in a hurry to go back.
She took out a small cloth bag and handed it to Zhou An: "Don't let your mother sell the jewelry. I saved some silver, you can use it first."
Zhou Yimo looked at Li Qingqing with some doubt. He refused, "I can't use your money."
Li Qingqing raised the corners of her mouth slightly and persuaded:
"Take it first. Zhang said that if you have silver, you can adopt her two granddaughters. In this case, it would be great if we can use ten taels of silver to completely resolve this matter. I need to make Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang completely sever ties with the Zhang family, and I hope you can resolve this matter as soon as possible."
There are still many things to do in the future, and we can't always put ourselves at a disadvantage.
It is not impossible to completely sever this blood relationship with a small amount of silver.
There's no need to waste all your time on this insignificant little thing.
Ten taels of silver seemed difficult to earn for an ordinary villager, but for her, it was just a matter of catching a few more prey.
She just wants results now.
Seeing that Zhou Yimo still refused to accept, Li Qingqing smiled again and said:
"If you really want to help me, then consider this money as my investment in the Zhou family. Let me be the steward in the future."
"Now that you have come to our Zhou family, it is natural that you will be the housekeeper." Zhou Yimo said immediately after hearing this.
Finally, Zhou Yimo took the cloth bag. He looked at Li Qingqing and said:
"I will work hard to gain a good academic record in the future so that you won't regret your decision today."
When Li Qingqing heard this, a trace of relief flashed in her eyes: "Okay! I believe you!"
Li Qingqing hurried back and turned around and left.
If she didn't leave now, she would be soaked to the skin, and she didn't have any extra clothes to change into.
As soon as Li Qingqing left, Zhou Yimo returned to his mother's room and told her what had happened. His mother was a little surprised and told Zhou Yimo to treat others well in the future.
It was still drizzling the next day, and matchmaker Zhou brought Zhou Yimo to Zhang's house to finalize the matter.
But the adoption of Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang still has to wait for the children's father and grandfather to return.
So everyone was looking forward to the return of Zhang Xingyuan and his son, and Zhou the matchmaker also came to Zhang's house once a day.
It rained for two days in a row and the ground was muddy. The villagers rarely visited each other and therefore did not know what was happening in the Zhang family.
Only Mrs. Wang from next door saw Matchmaker Zhou coming to Zhang's house again and again. She knew about this and leaned against the door again, mocking:
"This person is such a fool. Not only did he leave on his own, but he also took two burdens with him! Did he think marrying into the family would mean a life of luxury?"
"Some people don't raise their own granddaughters, but sell them under the guise of adoption. They're quite thoughtful!"
Zhang knew she was talking about herself, and responded somewhat unhappily:
"My Zhang family's affairs are none of your business. Some people just love to meddle in other people's business!
My granddaughter has someone willing to raise her, are you jealous? If you’re jealous, why not give your son to someone else too? "
Li Qingqing heard them arguing again in the thatched hut, and then she remembered that she had not yet told Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang about their adoption.
She briefly explained it and let Dashuang and Xiaoshuang make their own choices.
Although Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang were not sensible, they knew that only by following Li Qingqing would they not go hungry, so they all agreed.
"Big sister, will we be a burden to you if we follow you?"
Da Shuang also heard the quarrel outside. Although she was young, she knew that with more people in the family, the expenses would be higher.
"No! Big sister can support you!"
Li Qingqing smiled and rubbed their heads. The two little ones didn't look as thin as before, and their personalities became more lively.
If you don't have the skills, you can't do the job.
If you work harder in the future, you will be able to make ends meet.
Fortunately, on the afternoon of the fourth day, Zhang Xingyuan and his son rushed back home exhausted.
As soon as she entered the door, Zhang told the two of them about this, but they didn't react much.
Especially the original owner's cheap father, he usually works outside with Zhang's father and rarely sees his children throughout the year.
He has almost no affection for his three daughters.
He just glanced at Shao's belly and immediately said he had no objection.
When his late wife married him, his mother brought a child from nowhere and insisted on letting them raise him.
If his late wife hadn't been pregnant for nearly ten years without any signs of pregnancy, he would have given up on raising the baby long ago.
Later, his deceased wife finally became pregnant, but she passed away, leaving behind only twins, which made him feel even more unwilling.
He doesn't want a girl!
Just now, Shao told him that she was pregnant with a boy, and his mind was now full of the thought that he was finally going to have a son.
How can I care about anything else!
Although Zhang Xingyuan showed no reaction, he called Zhang back to the room afterwards and asked her worriedly, "What if that man wants a child?"
"Are you stupid or what? Women have to get married when they grow up. It's not like she's dead. If you need someone, just go to the Zhou family and ask for it!"
"Besides, I have been raising him for more than ten years, and I only gave him some money in the first few years.
I haven't given her any money since then, and I'm afraid she has completely forgotten about me now!"
"If I didn't know where that man lived, I would have gone to him to ask for the money!"
"Don't worry about it!"
As Zhang spoke, she put the money that Zhang Xingyuan and his son earned from working into her piggy bank, locked it and kept it safe.
The money box was full, and it looked like there was at least a hundred taels of money.
"Ms. Shao is pregnant with a boy. This money will help our grandson learn to read and become a high-ranking official!"
Zhang was very proud.
Except for Zhang Xingyuan, no one knew that she had so much silver. She kept it very carefully!
