Yi Qingqing returned home before the factory closed for the day and made a simple lunch.
Not long after, her parents and brother came back from work. Xiao Hui was also brought back, and they agreed to send her back after the New Year.
Because Yi Qingqing said that she wanted to make a pair of cotton shoes for them, her mother also brought back some defective fabric this time.
The family had just finished their meal and were still cleaning up the dishes when Aunt Ma came over.
Yi Qingqing and her family had already prepared for this, so they politely asked Aunt Ma to sit down.
Yi Qingqing went to pour the aunt a cup of warm water.
“Xianglan, I won’t beat around the bush. I’m here to be a matchmaker. You see, it’s not easy for Zhigang, a grown man, to take care of a little girl. My niece Chunmei lost her husband and was driven out by her unscrupulous in-laws. She can’t survive with a daughter.”
“Although she is three years older than Zhigang, a woman three years older than her husband will bring wealth. You’ve seen these days that Chunmei is very good at taking care of children and can handle all the housework. It will definitely be worth it to marry her!”
Aunt Ma sat down and stated her purpose straight away.
As the main speaker in their family, Zhao Xianglan didn’t show any impatience when she listened to Aunt Ma’s words. She nodded from time to time, which made Aunt Ma think that the matter was probably settled today.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Aunt Ma finished speaking, Zhao Xianglan sighed.
“It’s hard for you to worry about Zhigang. You know about Liu Meili’s incident. It was too ugly and caused a lot of harm to our Zhigang. For the time being, I really don’t feel like looking for another one.”
“Besides, we are relieved that you take care of Xiao Hui normally. At other times, Zhigang learns to take care of her by himself, which is also a little more work and growth. So, there is no rush for the time being, and don’t delay Chunmei.”
This is very polite.
Although Aunt Ma felt that her niece’s conditions were much worse than Yi Zhigang’s, her family could accept someone with Liu Meili’s conditions, so her niece’s conditions were much better than Liu Meili’s.
But she said that the previous incident was ugly and she couldn’t recover for a while, which was also human nature.
Moreover, she said that she still trusted her to help take care of Xiao Hui, which made her feel much better.
This can be said to be selfless of her. If Yi Zhigang does not remarry, she will have to take care of Xiao Hui for a few more years, which will at least provide an income.
If they really marry, she will suffer a loss!
Because of this matter, the daughter-in-law told her several times, both explicitly and implicitly, to stop interfering in other people’s business. She only wanted to help because Chunmei was having a hard time.
Forget it, it doesn’t matter if the Yi family disagrees.
Chunmei really couldn’t wait. If she hadn’t stopped her, she would have come to the house in person today.
So, Aunt Ma stopped thinking about it.
“Okay, then just pretend I didn’t say anything about this matter. But Zhigang has good conditions, talents, and character. Don’t let the bad person ruin his marriage. You should plan to find another one as soon as possible. It’s okay to go slowly this time, but you have to keep your eyes open!”
This was really for his own good. So, Yi Zhigang smiled and replied: “Don’t worry, I won’t be stubborn this time. My parents are here to check it out. I will find it slowly.”
…
Aunt Ma came to the house and left in less than 20 minutes.
Ma Chunmei’s matter was settled, so Yi Zhigang breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Xianglan looked at him and suddenly asked: “Zhigang, tell me, why does Mom look down on Ma Chunmei?”
Yi Zhigang’s breath that had just been relieved was lifted up again.
