Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

Chapter 1143: Agreement

Li Yungui didn’t understand his son’s meaning, "Her family is also in the military.""Dad, she probably lived with her mother’s family from a young age, right?"

Li Yungui nodded, "Yeah, her family is a bit chaotic. According to Old Jin, her family is not harmonious, she was neglected, her mom died early, and her dad has another family."

"Dad, our two families are not suitable."

"That’s what I told Old Jin as well. Old Jin said that Wang Zhiqing has taken a liking to you, and her grandfather has agreed too.

She went to the county today to make a phone call to inquire about this matter."

Li Manjiang thought about it. If they are all in the military, especially in high positions, investigating me would be quite simple.

Since they’ve agreed, it means they’ve already looked into me thoroughly.

He recalled that girl from yesterday. Just learned now that she’s interested in him. It explains the way she looked at him last night.

Li Manjiang wasn’t arrogant enough to think she took a liking to him just from one meeting. There must be certain aspects of him that caught her eye.

"Manjiang, if you’re not willing, I’ll tell Old Jin and not mention it to your mom.

I noticed your mom seems to really like Wang Zhiqing; let’s not make her upset."

"Dad, there’s no rush. Let’s still talk to mom. Even if we do end up together, she’d be living with you both. I don’t yet have the qualification to bring a spouse with the military.

Picking someone both you and mom like is also good, at least the family will be harmonious, so I won’t worry about home while I’m away."

There’s also one thing Li Manjiang didn’t say: that girl is genuinely beautiful. From a man’s perspective, she’s definitely someone he’d want to marry.

"So if both your mom and I agree, you would agree?" Li Yungui asked his eldest son.

"Yeah, she’s already interested in me, and I don’t have any objection to her. As long as you both agree, it’s fine."

"But we still don’t really know her." Li Yungui worried about this matter, fearing the child’s mental state might be unstable given her family situation.

"Dad, you can discuss this with mom. I’m okay either way." If it works out, I’ll have a beautiful wife. If not, in many years, it will just be a faint regret, leaving no deep mark.

Li Yungui thought about Wang Zhiqing: a beautiful young lady whom his son should like, and after months of observation, he knew she wasn’t a spoiled, naive girl.

"Alright, we’ll discuss it at home over lunch."

The issue of his son’s marriage has been a heartache. Now there’s a set of good conditions with such a girl taking the initiative; his wife will definitely be very happy.

He just feared that her family’s background might be too good, making it difficult for his son to speak firmly in the future.

It’s all matters to worry about. His wife wasn’t like Old Fourth’s wife, insisting on finding a wife from the hometown for their son.

Over here, the sisters directly chopped two pounds of pork belly, and today they’re making dumplings.

They’re quite skilled with the work at hand. By the time Jin Er Lin came back, they had already started wrapping.

He wanted to help but was rejected by the two girls. So he sat opposite them.

"Meng Lin, have you really taken a liking to Li Manjiang?"

"Yes, isn’t that fine? Uncle Jin, you noticed too; Li Manjiang seems to be a decent practitioner, and probably quite upright.

Yesterday when we both went to his home to ask for leave, he didn’t look at us sneakily even once. I’m already quite pleased with that. As for other things, we’ll learn slowly as we interact more."

Jin Er Lin listened to Wang Menglin’s words and didn’t try to persuade her any further. She had already made up her mind. Besides, the old chief had agreed too, and his earlier question was merely out of his own confusion.

Given this girl’s family background and looks, she would definitely be able to pick and choose among military men.

Others might not be able to leave, but there’s no problem for these three siblings if they want to leave here.

It means that now or shortly, they won’t be leaving.

Anyway, it’s not something he can manage; he just needs to do what he can.

Qu Xiaoli wasn’t in a good mood this morning. The four earliest-arriving female zhiqing in the village all gathered around her, trying to flatter her with their words, initially without her realizing.

But her sister-in-law jokingly mentioned choosing a daughter-in-law, and she began to think along those lines.

To be honest, she had never considered finding a zhiqing daughter-in-law.

Never considered it. It’s not about liking the girl, but more about thinking they, city folks, wouldn’t like their mud-leg ways, not to mention the performance of these few girls over the past year she had observed, showing they truly weren’t suited to village life.

That’s why she never thought of finding a zhiqing daughter-in-law.

However, these girls’ behavior made Qu Xiaoli feel very repulsed.

Though she didn’t know what they thought, she genuinely looked down on their attempts to flatter her.

Right now, there were many people working in the threshing field, and many had seen through the intentions of those four female zhiqing.

They didn’t particularly dislike those four female zhiqing, but neither did they have goodwill.

Still, watching them try to flatter Qu Xiaoli, they all found it amusing inside.

Today was the finishing up work; by the afternoon, everything had to be organized to make space for the peanuts.

Qu Xiaoli was in quite a hurry. Still, these four female zhiqing did not speed up their actions.

Really taking their time. She felt repulsion towards them for not understanding the situation.

Finally, the last heap of corn was stacked up, but it was already half an hour later than usual.

At home, Xue’er had already started preparing the meal. In fact, the sorghum rice soup was already made; they just needed to bake the bread and stew the vegetables.

Yan Shuping and her fellows noticed Qu Xiaoli seemed displeased, but they still didn’t want to give up easily.

But when work was done, they watched as she hurried off.

Among themselves, the four were wary, as this opportunity was limited to one. Though there were four of them, there were many competitors.

So the zhiqing point felt a bit strange. The male zhiqings had no idea; today they were busy carrying the harvested stubble with the rotary tiller out of the fields. It wasn’t easy as the ground was cultivated, making it harder to walk than solid ground, and the rows were very long, requiring them to carry for a long time.

The two new girls also had thoughts, but they were more reserved than Yan Shuping and the others, observing coldly. It’s clear Village Chief Li’s family probably has no intention of marrying a zhiqing, so the two wisely kept their distance.

After work, Tao Chunhe returned home; the dumplings were already cooking, seeing Jin Erlin there, he had some speculations.

"Eating dumplings, that’s nice." Although life hasn’t been hard, being busy means not having time to go out, so they don’t usually have meat."
