"That Yang Man is two years older than you. He was married once before, and later that man was imprisoned for gambling and theft. You don't know these things, right?"
Unexpectedly, Li Jianping said calmly: "I have known what mom said for a long time. I know not only these more detailed situations."
Liu Chunzhi wondered: "I thought you didn't know about her situation. Fortunately, I went around to ask around. Since you understand, I think this matter should be stopped. Yang Man is not the only woman in the world, so why bother yourself? Get a second marriage.”
Li Jianping originally thought that these were nothing, but his mother's words irritated him a little, so he couldn't suppress his anger: "Second marriage, second marriage... Mom just looks down on her for marrying someone before. So what about the second marriage, I don't care. I don’t mind it, and there’s no need to say it anymore.”
"You... why are you so disobedient? I'm not doing it for your own good. I've introduced so many to you before. If you don't want a yellow-flowered girl, just pick up a second-hand one. You still think it's glorious, don't you?" Liu Chunzhi's rare She got angry with her son and said, "I think even Huang Ping is better than her."
Huang Ping is the newly hired helper. She came from the countryside when she was just nineteen years old. She is a dark and fat country girl.
"I have already said that marriage is my personal matter. I have the final say on what kind of woman I marry. Mom doesn't need to interfere."
"It's nothing else, but what are you looking for? Second marriage sounds good."
The mother and son had a dispute. Although there was no fight, Li Jianping threw the cup in his hand in front of his mother. The commotion became louder, and Huang Ping heard her name first. She didn't know what happened, so she hurriedly ran to tell Li Wei.
When Li Wei heard that it was okay, she rushed to break up the fight. When she arrived, Li Jianping had already slammed the door and left, and Liu Chunzhi was sitting there wiping her tears.
"Mom, what's going on?"
When Liu Chunzhi saw her daughter, her tears fell even more fiercely: "It's all your eldest brother. He forgot about his mother when he had a wife. He started looking at me and yelling at me before we even got married."
Li Wei knew that the matter was not that simple. He sat down, took his mother's hand, and asked gently: "Mom, what happened? Don't just cry. You can say anything. After all, I am the same part of the family.”
"Your eldest brother... has fallen in love with Yang Man and wants to marry him. I won't let him, so he has such a bad temper. Tell me, when he does get married, he won't see me as a mother anymore."
Li Wei asked doubtfully: "I think that Yang Man is pretty good. Although he's a little older than my eldest brother, I think he's not bad either. Why isn't Mom willing? Haven't you always been looking forward to your eldest brother getting married?"
"Then you can't come back with a second marriage. When people ask you, where do you put my face?"
"Has she been married before?"
Liu Chunzhi nodded.
Li Wei thought to herself that Yang Man was two years older than his eldest brother, 27 years old. They can definitely be considered older women. Although there are some unmarried women at this age, there are not many. It turns out that they have been married before. She asked her mother about Yang Man's previous marriage, and Liu Chunzhi told her everything she knew.
Li Wei didn't speak for a long time, and Liu Chunzhi said, "I know he won't be able to hear what I say, so you should go and talk about it properly."
This is not the first time that her mother has asked her to act as a lobbyist. The last time seemed to be because of Wang Yulan. After all, this was still a troublesome thing, so she had to comfort her mother: "Don't be angry. What will happen if your body is damaged by anger? The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and it is best for the whole family to be harmonious. Let me help you ask, brother. look."
How important it is to have a daughter by your side at this time, and a daughter is caring. Liu Chunzhi took out a wrinkled handkerchief and wiped her tears.
Entrusted with an important task by his mother, Li Wei decided to have a good chat with his eldest brother.
She advised her mother to go back and rest while she went to find her elder brother.
She searched everywhere except the guest room, but there was still no sign of Li Jianping. Where will he run to
It was four o'clock in the afternoon, two hours before dark. He must have gone into the city. Li Wei rode into the city to find his elder brother.
Li Wei rode back home, but there was no one at home. I went to several places where his elder brother had been before, but I didn't see him. After calling for a long time, there was no reply. Seeing that it was getting dark, Li Wei only thought of one place to go. Li Jianping probably went to Yang's house.
Although she had only been to Yang's laundry once, the location was relatively easy to find, so she went directly to the store to find someone.
Because of road excavation, there are still some detours in some places. Li Wei finally arrived at Yang's dry cleaning shop and saw that the rolling shutter door had been closed, only a small door was still half open, and an orange light was exposed inside. Just when Li Wei was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, he heard people in the room talking.
"Li Jianping, what's the matter with you coming here so late? Is the number of things wrong?" This was Yang Man's voice.
But she heard her eldest brother say in the house: "I came here specifically to see you, Yang Man. What do you think of me?"
Yang Man was a little confused, wondering if this person was drinking? She was stunned and said, "What's going on? Are you drinking?"
"I haven't drunk a drop of wine and am very sober. I came to you to clarify the relationship between us. To tell you the truth, I like you very much. What about you? What do you think of me?"
Li Jianping's words not only shocked Yang Man, but also made Li Wei outside the door tremble in his heart. She subconsciously tightened her grip on the handlebars and became nervous as well.
Yang Man looked at Li Jianping blankly, as if he didn't smell any alcohol, so he wasn't talking nonsense after drinking. The young man in front of him was tall, well-built, and upright, and he was a good young man. She is not disgusted with Li Jianping.
"I was married before." Yang Man said this after holding back for a long time.
Li Jianping said: "I have known this for a long time."
"Ah? I thought you didn't know, so I felt it necessary to tell you this, lest you say that I deliberately concealed the truth."
"I'm not a very educated person, I'm not a rich person, I owe a lot of debt to the bank, and sometimes I have a bad temper... "
Why did her eldest brother start exposing his own shortcomings? Li Wei was a little puzzled, but she heard her elder brother change the topic again: "Even if I am such a bad person, won't you dislike me?"
Yang Man looked at Li Jianping in surprise, her eyes wide open. After a moment, she repeated the same sentence: "I was married before, even so, you don't dislike me?"
Li Jianping shouted eagerly: "So what if you have been married once? You are self-respecting, brave and strong. I don't know how many times you are better than those unmarried women who only spend their days drinking and messing around with men and women."
After Li Wei heard these words, she didn't stay any longer, turned around and left the shop while pushing the cart.
