Chapter 19
"I don't know." Li Suniang answered seriously.
She didn't lie, she really didn't know. Although Xiao Zihao was only a five-year-old child, she felt there was no need to lie to him.
If it were in the previous life, she would definitely answer him that she would not marry. Let's not talk about whether the man is good or not. Just say that a woman who is married for the second time and has a child. If you marry a first-married boy, he must also want a child of his own.
Two children, food, medical care, tuition... and so on for the whole family are a huge expense. This does not include the betrothal gifts and new houses for the boy to marry when the children grow up. Just thinking about it makes her tired.
What if she doesn't give birth to a child? Although people may not say anything, what if he works hard to raise a child that does not belong to him, but in the end he raises an ungrateful person? Then he will definitely feel sorry for them.
Although sometimes biological children may not necessarily be filial, at least they are biological children and there is a blood relationship. No matter how bad it is, it can be endured silently.
But you can raise a person who has no blood relationship with you, and you work hard, but in the end, you can't get any good. Isn't this persecuting others?
This is not only marrying a first marriage but marrying a second marriage! She also has children to raise. Both of you have different minds, and both want to make your children live better. Then there will be more conflicts, and more quarrels, and in the end, you will break up.
Of course, you may encounter that the other party treats your children better than his own children, but don't you feel guilty?
Men and women, in fact, women are more selfish and jealous than men. It can be said that there are very few women who can fully accept the other party's children and treat them as their own, especially in a society based on economic foundation. There are very few women who can do this.
It's better not to marry. What's wrong with raising a child alone and having an economic source? Why bother to find some trouble?
But here, she has a house and a child, but no economic source. Just relying on the little money at home, she may be able to raise the child by saving a little.
But she still wanted to send Xiao Zihao to school. As a person who grew up in a nine-year compulsory education environment, she couldn't bear to see her child be illiterate in the future.
It's not about what exams she takes, she just doesn't want her child to be deceived by others because he can't read when he grows up.
"But don't worry, even if I get married in the future, I won't abandon you." Li Suniang gently touched Xiao Zihao's face and promised.
"Mom, if you get married in the future, can you marry the one who can catch pheasants?" Xiao Zihao blinked and suggested seriously.
"...Can catch pheasants??" Li Suniang was a little confused by Xiao Zihao's suggestion.
"Well, it's the one we met on the road when we went to catch Wangzai that day." Xiao Zihao nodded. "He is so amazing, he can catch pheasants, and he caught two at once." Xiao Zihao's eyes flashed with admiration. Every boy has a heroic dream in his heart.
After he said that, Li Suniang's mind also brought up the figure of Du Wei, a man covered with masculinity from head to toe.
'Well, he is really amazing.' If possible, she would also like to marry such a man. It is said that men who are cold on the outside but warm on the inside love their wives the most. She didn't know if it was true.
Li Suniang, who had never been in love in her previous life, actually fantasized about having a sweet love, a happy marriage, cute children, and a loving husband.
"Why?" Li Suniang was happy and asked with a smile.
"Because I also want to be as amazing as him. After you marry him, I can worship him as my master, so that I can catch pheasants for you every day in the future." Xiao Zihao said excitedly.
Lu Siniang: Hehe, you silly boy, if your mother really married him, would you still need to catch pheasants? Really silly and cute...
"Well, let me think about it. Okay, now you can go to bed." Li Suniang patted his back gently and said.
Xiao Zihao got the answer he wanted. Although the answer was still a little incomplete, it at least made him feel at ease, and he fell asleep soon.
Li Suniang couldn't sleep. After finally falling asleep, she had a dream. In the dream, she actually married Du Wei.
As a result, she got up the next day and secretly despised herself. How much did she want to get married? She actually had such a dream. This was the first time she had a dream since she came here.
While Li Suniang secretly despises herself, Du Wei of the Du family also gets up early in the morning to secretly wash his underwear.
When the Lao Du got up, he saw the underwear hanging on the bamboo pole in the yard and fluttering in the wind, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Dad, what's that expression on your face?" Du Wei walked out of the kitchen and said expressionlessly when he saw his father laughing like that.
Although he didn't show anything on his face, he was actually a little shy inside. If the clothes could dry in the house, he would have hung them in the house, and his father wouldn't have seen them.
"What's that expression? Your dad is in a good mood today. Can't I just smile..." Lao Du replied in a good mood. Then he heard him say again, "They say that a smile makes you ten years younger. Can't your dad live a few more years?"
"Okay, okay, then smile more!" Du Wei looked at his dad's rogue-like answer and replied helplessly. Why does it feel like his dad's IQ is going down as he gets older?
Du Wei himself didn't know why he had that erotic dream again last night. It must be because he heard Suniang's name again. He hadn't had such a dream for many years. It was only when he was young and just joined the escort agency. Because the old escorts often said some things that made him, a young man, blush and his heart beat fast, he had several erotic dreams in a row. For this, he received special "caring" looks from the old escorts, and even wanted to take him to the building to find Hua Niang to vent.
But even if he had a wet dream, he still insisted on his nature and would never follow the group of old escorts to the brothel to find the girls inside. First, he felt that those girls were also miserable people. Otherwise, which good girl would sell her body and serve different men all day long?
And they didn't pick the age, no matter how rich or poor, as long as they had money. Second, he felt that they were not clean. After all, they slept with this one today and that one tomorrow. Although they were dressed brightly on the outside, they were filthy inside.
Although Du Wei was a big man, he was also a little clean in his heart. He could accept marrying a widow as his wife in the future, but he couldn't accept sleeping with a girl in a building. Of course, the widow's character must also be good. Otherwise, he would rather be a bachelor for life than just make do with it.
Later, he gradually got used to the jokes between the group of old men. In addition, as he grew older, his personality gradually stabilized, and he was no longer as impulsive as before. He no longer had erotic dreams, but at that time, even though he had erotic dreams, the woman he was entangled within his dreams was always vague, just a mechanical impulse.
But since he accidentally met Aunt Yang and Suniang last time, especially after seeing Li Suniang smile at him, Du Wei started to have erotic dreams again that night, and that time in his dream he clearly saw that the woman who was making love with him was Suniang.
After waking up, he was more determined to marry Suniang. Yesterday, when he came back from the mountain, he unexpectedly met a woman who was cursing on the way. He didn't want to pay attention to her. But he accidentally heard the woman saying bad things about Li Suniang, so he stepped forward to stop the woman and asked coldly, "Who were you cursing just now?"
"... No, I didn't curse anyone..." Matchmaker Lin, who was suddenly stopped, saw Du Wei's fierce face and couldn't help feeling scared.
Du Wei looked at Lin, the matchmaker, with cold eyes, and asked again, "Are you sure...?"
"I...I..." Lin, the matchmaker, wanted to say that she didn't curse anyone, but she was too scared to lie when she saw Du Wei's look. So after thinking it over again and again, she said to Du Wei angrily, "Young man, you should also judge for me. I am a matchmaker. Originally, I wanted to help the young widow named Li Suniang to be a matchmaker today, but she didn't appreciate it and even found someone to scold me and drive me away. To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that she was a widow at such a young age and had a child and that her life was not easy, I wouldn't have wanted to help her to be a matchmaker. I didn't expect that I would not end up with a good result. Isn't it infuriating?"
No wonder people don't believe the words of matchmakers. Look at these words that are upside down. Fortunately, Aunt Yang is not here. Otherwise, she would not only be driven out of the house but also swept away with a broom.
"Be a matchmaker for Suniang? Whose family...?" Du Wei asked with a frown, muttering secretly in his heart.
Du Wei: What's wrong? Before I even made a move, a matchmaker came to her house. Fortunately, Suniang didn't agree. Otherwise, I would definitely ruin the marriage.
"Just... just go to Mr. Liu's house in town."
Du Wei was already scary because of the scar on his face, and now he frowned, which made people even more frightened.
Du Wei also knew Mr. Liu, but he didn't expect that the matchmaker would actually tell Li Suniang about him. This made Du Wei want to beat up Matchmaker Lin.
"You... what are you... going to do?" Lin Matchmaker looked at Du Wei's increasingly ferocious face, and she was so frightened that even her legs were shaking. She really didn't expect that there would be such a ferocious person in this village. Next time, she would never dare to come to this village again.
"Get out, if I see you in this village next time, I will definitely break your legs." Du Wei waved his fist at Matchmaker Lin and threatened.
When Matchmaker Lin heard Du Wei tell her to get out, she immediately shook her legs and ran to the village entrance without looking back. When Matchmaker Lin came, she was still thinking about the young widow's appearance. She thought she would be easy to deceive, but what she didn't expect was that not only did she fail to deceive the young widow, but she almost couldn't leave Linshan Village.
It is said that Matchmaker Lin is indeed not a good person. She can do anything for money. Knowing that Liu Yuanwai's house is a tiger's den, she still coaxed several girls into his house to be concubines, and now it is unknown how many girls she deceived are left. Although Liu Yuanwai is old, he is still a person who loves new things and hates old things. He has to take a concubine into the house occasionally, and the concubine who just came in can be said to be very favored by him. If the concubine who can't see the situation clearly dares to show off to the mistress of the house, then once she loses her favor, she will be sold by the mistress of the house for various reasons, or framed and beaten to death.
As for the fact that they can still be kept as concubines in the Liu Shi family, it is because they are not too charming and are obedient. Another point is to bet on Mr. Liu's mouth so that he will not say that his first wife is intolerable.
However, the women who were kept as concubines in the Liu Shi family were fed with sterilized soup by the mistress of the house early on, so they couldn't think about having children in this life. All the property of the Liu family can only be owned by the children born by the mistress of the house, and no one else can even think about it.
As for how Matchmaker Lin thought of marrying Li Suniang to the Liu family, it was because she accidentally saw Li Suniang's appearance in the town last time, so she tried every means to inquire and finally got the news from Old Liu Shi's mouth. After hearing that Li Suniang was a widow, she seemed to see silver floating in front of her eyes, so she came to propose marriage.
When Du Wei saw Matchmaker Lin running out of the village with shaking legs, he had another erotic dream that night, which led to his father's rogue words early in the morning.
