Chapter 913: I Trust My Son's Judgment

After confirming that Guo Yan had become pregnant, Xiao Wanli proposed marriage.

Guo Yan was initially hesitant; after all, everyone at the Ding Zhiqing station knew about her previous affair with that male Ding Zhiqing. Although the incident that day had not been exposed, since that male Ding Zhiqing had married someone else, her reputation had suffered somewhat, and she feared he might regret it later.

Xiao Wanli repeatedly stated his stance: he knew that was the Miss's first time; now that she was pregnant, if he did not step forward, they both knew clearly what awaited her.

After hearing this, Xiao Wanli's parents remained silent for a long time.

They did not say their son was wrong, but this daughter-in-law had someone else in her heart before; was she truly willing to live with their son, or was she compromising only for the child in her belly?

After a long while, Xiao's eldest aunt finally spoke: "Since you have already registered, you must treat that Miss well from now on. If anything goes wrong in the future, do not mention the past again; do not hurt that Miss's heart."

Xiao Wanli knew what his parents were worried about: "Mom, Dad, rest assured. Yan is a good Miss; I believe in her."

Their conversation was overheard by Guo Yan, who had come to call them for dinner; her heart was deeply moved. Just by what Xiao Wanli had done, she was slowly falling for this man, and the two elders of the Xiao family seemed quite easy to get along with.

She lowered her head, touched her belly, took a deep breath, and walked into the room: "The meal is ready. Wanli, set the table."

Seeing that he was still holding a basket of dry rations in one hand, Xiao Wanli quickly set the kang table in place.

Watching her place the basket on the kang table, he said: "Rest inside for a while; I will go bring the dishes."

Xiao's eldest aunt seized the opportunity to say, "I'll go help too and take a look at your living conditions."

Guo Yan still followed her out: "Then I will accompany you to take a look."

At this moment, Xiao's eldest aunt liked this daughter-in-law even more; after encountering such misfortune, she was still so strong; she believed this child's character could not be bad: "Good, then let us two women go together."

Hearing this address, Guo Yan's eyes immediately turned red, and she said in a small voice: "Thank you."

Xiao's eldest aunt stopped the foot she was about to step out with, took Guo Yan's hand, and said: "It is all in the past. Live well with Wanli from now on; I believe in my son's judgment."

With red eyes, Guo Yan nodded heavily: "I will."

As the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked out arm in arm, Xiao's eldest uncle's mouth curled into a smile behind them; although his son and this Miss had gotten together by accident, this Miss's eyes were clear, so she must be right.

They lived in the male and female Ding Zhiqing dormitories; this room was originally a storage room. Since they were getting married, they found the brigade cadres, paid money, and asked villagers to come and renovate it; once the wedding ceremony is held tomorrow, they will live together.

They also asked the villagers to help build a temporary kitchen; after marriage, they would cook separately, making it more convenient to improve their living conditions.

Xiao Mu walked around and was quite satisfied.

To welcome his parents' arrival, Xiao Wanli had specially exchanged with villagers for a rabbit; the meal was rice with two grains, plus a pot of stewed rabbit with potatoes, and a side of pickles pickled by Guo Yan herself.

Besides sending a bowl to the Ding Zhiqing next door, the rest was served in a large basin: "Mom, Dad, take off your coats, wash your hands, and come up on the kang; let us eat now; you can also taste your daughter-in-law's cooking."
