Chapter 898

Therefore, Wang An's purpose was to instruct Wang Li, to let this kid be a bit more sensible, and at the very least, be a bit more proactive.

After Li Xiuyu entered the room, Wang An said softly to Wang Li:

"Look at that pathetic look you had just now; you couldn't even say a word? Can't you even manage a simple greeting?"

After Wang An finished speaking, he saw Wang Li scratching his head with a face full of redness and saying:

"I... I don't know what to say. Xiuyu is so... so... I just... I don't know what to say."

A single sentence, spoken by Wang Li in a stuttering manner, almost made Wang An laugh out of anger.

It must be said, many boys of Wang Li's age, when facing the opposite sex, especially the opposite sex they like, will show this kind of at-a-loss, flustered appearance.

It's as if they are afraid that saying one wrong word will make the other person unhappy.

In fact, this situation is completely unnecessary, because women are inherently emotional animals; no one could possibly fall in love with a wooden block.

Wang An rolled his eyes at Wang Li and said:

"You useless thing, bring out the spirit you have when bickering with your Brother Mu. Don't just sit there like a lump; it's not like there's nothing going on. Xiuyu has already agreed to be your girlfriend, what are you still afraid of?"

Pausing for a moment, seeing Wang Li's clueless look, Wang An said helplessly:

"Can't you even brag a little? Besides, you don't even need to brag. Just tell her your family has money, has a walking tractor, this big brick house is built, and there's a pile of wild ginseng at home..."

As he spoke, Wang An couldn't continue; mainly, he was too lazy to talk.

Consequently, Wang An gave Wang Li a push and said:

"Go on. If you don't know what to say, just follow what I said."

After Wang An finished speaking, he stopped paying attention to Wang Li and turned to lie half-reclined on the sofa chair.

Wang Li nodded as if he understood, then turned and walked toward the east room.

Although Wang An spoke to Wang Li in a lowered voice, except for Li Xiuyu who had already entered the east room, everyone in the living room actually heard the conversation between the two brothers.

After Wang Li also entered the east room, Yao Ping said to Liu Guilan with a helpless face:

"You say, my little Li, if he only had half of Xiao An's ability to handle things? He has a wooden head and doesn't understand anything. If it weren't for Xiao An leading him, this kid wouldn't have much of a future."

It must be admitted that Second Aunt Yao Ping is someone who knows how to talk, always making people unable to feel any resentment.

Liu Guilan, upon hearing her son being praised, immediately showed a trace of pride on her face. Changing the subject, she glanced at Mu Xueqing and said:

"Hey, isn't this because Xiao An found a good wife? Before he started a family, Xiao An didn't let me and his father worry any less. It was only after he got married that he settled down."

Although Wang An didn't stop his wild ways because of Mu Xueqing, what Liu Guilan said was indeed correct; after all, in terms of time, Wang An did start to settle down and live his life after getting married.

As for the Wang An of the past, no matter which parent had such a son, it would be impossible not to worry.

Mu Xueqing smiled and glanced at Wang An without saying anything, because Mu Xueqing also believed that Wang An started to change because of her.

Of course, Wang An would absolutely not explain anything; mainly, this kind of misunderstanding was one that made everyone feel happy.

The people in the living room were chatting, and Wang Li and Li Xiuyu in the east room were also talking quite well.

Although Wang Li hadn't had a girlfriend before and didn't know how to please girls, Wang Li also had a huge advantage, which was that he was very obedient, especially to Wang An.

Wang Li was seen clumsily saying to Li Xiuyu:

"Xiuyu, if you're with me, you won't suffer. Look at my house now, the big brick house will be ready to live in soon. Once everything is finished, it will be exactly the same as Fourth Brother's house."

Li Xiuyu just nodded and didn't speak.

Seeing that Li Xiuyu had no change in expression, Wang Li also realized that Li Xiuyu had no interest in this matter.

Consequently, Wang Li continued:

"My family also has a walking tractor and a rice transplanter. Let me tell you, Xiuyu, that thing is really fast at transplanting rice..."

It must be said, no matter what people do, they just need to practice more.

Because Wang Li didn't know what to say to Li Xiuyu before, and although Wang Li knew what to say just now, he was still clumsy; but now, Wang Li was becoming more and more fluent, almost to the point of being eloquent.

However, after Wang Li finished speaking, Li Xiuyu still just nodded, clearly still looking like she had no great interest.

Consequently, Wang Li said a bit anxiously:

"Oh right, Xiuyu, my family also has those old ginseng roots. I'll give a few to my mother-in-law—no, to your mother—to nourish her body. Don't worry, as long as your mother nourishes her body well, she will definitely be fine in the future."

It must be said, Wang Li's last words finally made Li Xiuyu lift her beautiful little face.

Mainly because Li Xiuyu didn't mind Wang Li's slip of the tongue, the three words "mother-in-law," which was a very good phenomenon.

Li Xiuyu said a bit excitedly:

"Will my mother really be okay? When I ran out, my mother was already lying on the kang and couldn't get down."

Finally knowing what Li Xiuyu wanted to hear and what she needed, Wang Li immediately promised Li Xiuyu:

"She will definitely be okay. Don't worry, Xiuyu. I have money. If it really doesn't work, we'll go to the hospital. If the county hospital can't treat her, we'll go to the big hospital in Bingcheng. Anyway, we will definitely be able to cure your mother."

It must be said, perhaps all men—to be precise, perhaps all male animals—have an innate nature.

That is, they cannot bear to see their woman sad, cannot bear to see their woman wronged, and all want to work hard to hold up a piece of sky for their woman.

Wang Li's words, although having nothing to do with sweet talk when dating, were undoubtedly what Li Xiuyu wanted to hear most at this moment.

The successive family changes had already made this seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl unable to bear it, and a woman's nature is to rely on a man.

It can be seen that Wang Li's words struck Li Xiuyu's heart, instantly making Li Xiuyu open that closed door for Wang Li.

Li Xiuyu said with a face full of emotion:

"Mm, Wang Li, I believe you."

In fact, what Wang Li should have done at this moment was to pull Li Xiuyu into his arms and further deepen the feelings between them.

However, Wang An didn't teach Wang Li this point; mainly, Wang An didn't expect that Wang Li would accidentally pry open Li Xiuyu's heart.

Therefore, looking at Li Xiuyu's little eyes full of emotion, Wang Li just scratched his head with a face full of honesty.
