Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"Changgen, I didn't mean it like that, I was just speaking casually, why did you get angry? You really are something, taking everything so seriously!"

Zhao Lifen, after a moment of stunned silence, hurriedly laughed it off, trying to gloss things over.

Wang Zhangtian also helped smooth things over:

"Younger brother, don't stoop to my wife's level. Her mouth is just like that — she can't control it, and it's a bit foul! But her heart isn't bad, you know that too!"

Wang Zhanggen said coldly:

"Big brother, if I said Yaohua is useless right in front of you — that at his age he still hasn't found a partner, and even buying a used car requires you to help scrape together the down payment — would you be happy?"

Wang Zhangtian immediately became unhappy:

"Younger brother, how can you talk like that?"

Wang Zhanggen just said:

"You're unhappy, and rightly so. I was just making an analogy. You'd best let Eldest Sister-in-law speak less. Today we're here for grave relocation, not to argue. Make her watch her mouth!"

Wang Zhangtian, spoken to like this by Wang Zhanggen, felt even more stifled.

After all, he was Wang Zhanggen's elder brother!

He counted as Wang Zhanggen's elder!

He never expected to be reprimanded so condescendingly by Wang Zhanggen.

So what if he had three sons? So what if all three sons were promising?

It's not like you became promising yourself!

What's there to show off about!

Wang Zhangtian thought this in his heart, but on his lips he no longer said anything.

He could only blame himself for being ignorant in his youth; to get a foothold in the city, he honestly obeyed that Family Planning Policy!

As a result, now their only son has been raised into a good-for-nothing, and regret comes too late!

Although the country has now opened up the second child policy at the national level, they no longer have the ability to have a second child.

If he and Zhao Lifen had also had three sons in their youth, Wang Zhanggen would definitely speak to him politely now!

Wang Xiaohua, seeing his own father so protective of his son, couldn't help but feel a touch of emotion. This old man's every move, though all driven by protecting his own face, one had to admit — this time he helped retort against Zhao Lifen, it truly counted as acting like a man once.

Because they quarreled a few sentences back and forth, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

Fortunately they managed to brake in time, and it didn't escalate into a huge row.

After much waiting, Wu Banxian arrived. Both Wang Zhanggen and Wang Zhangtian hurriedly packed up and went into the mountain for grave relocation.

Wang Zhanggen didn't want to host Wang Zhangtian's family any longer.

And Wang Zhangtian's family didn't want to stay at Wang Zhanggen's home either.

After all, their sensitive self-esteem made them feel Wang Zhanggen's family looked down on them in every way.

Grave relocation generally only permits men to attend, so Li Xiulan and Zhao Lifen both didn't go.

Wang Zhanggen, Wang Zhangtian, Wang Erhai, Wang Xiaohua, Wang Yaohua — all went.

Only Li Xiulan and Zhao Lifen remained at home.

Zhao Lifen was originally still silent, but after Li Xiulan poured her a cup of tea, she opened up her chatterbox again.

Talking about how her son couldn't find a partner, she was nearly worried sick.

Then she asked Li Xiulan:

"Sister-in-law, really can't let Xiaohua help introduce a female university student?"

Her gaze not only carried pleading, but was full of sincerity.

One could see that her earlier claim that Wang Xiaohua's female-university-student wife was swindled wasn't intentional mockery — in her cognition, that's simply how she felt it was!

Li Xiulan said:

"Xiaohua is studying in Beijing now. The female university students at his school are probably from Beijing. If Yaohua got together with one, he'd likely have to go there and become an upper-door son-in-law. After all, those female university students' family conditions are far better than ours! They definitely wouldn't be willing to come here and suffer! You have only this one only son — can you bear to let him go marry into their family?"

Li Xiulan's words were also very sincere.

Her level of cognition was also very limited.

One could say she and Zhao Lifen were half a catty eight taels — evenly matched.

In her heart she felt that if Wang Xiaohua were willing to introduce, he could still successfully introduce someone for Wang Yaohua.

But separated by such a great distance, that's a big problem.

Zhao Lifen, hearing this, also felt it made sense, and slapped her thigh:

"Yo! That won't do! Yaohua is our only child — absolutely cannot let him go be an upper-door son-in-law!"

Then she said:

"Then forget it. We won't go swindle a female university student. Sister-in-law, do you have any other introductions on your end?"

Li Xiulan thought seriously for a moment, her expression turning heavy:

"Nowadays girls all go to the city to work. They find partners in the city themselves, no need for introductions. So there really isn't anything good to introduce for your son."

Zhao Lifen, hearing this, couldn't help but sigh:

"Ai, really not a single one?"

Li Xiulan's eyes suddenly lit up — she thought of someone!

Then she hurriedly said:

"Right, there's a girl who might be worth introducing to Yaohua — just don't know if Yaohua would mind!"

Zhao Lifen hurriedly said:

"Who?"

Li Xiulan then said:

"From our village, Li Yuncui! She used to live in the city for quite a few years before, so she probably has things to talk about with your Yaohua too!"

Li Yuncui previously didn't know whose child she was pregnant with, and after returning to Shanggou Village and giving birth to the baby, she lived in Shanggou Village for a period of time.

As a result, while she was in Shanggou Village, still in her breastfeeding period, she got together with Zhou Zhihao, the nephew of Zhou Hongwei who had come to Shanggou Village to do masonry work at the time, and then Li Yuncui together with her mother Luo Jiaxin gave away the child who had been born not long before to an old woman called Mei Yi.

Later, after Li Yuncui's father Li Zhenxing learned of this matter, he even reported it to the police, but to this day they still haven't found that child back, and that woman called Mei Yi seemed to have vanished from this world just like that.

And after Li Yuncui sent the child away, she eloped with Zhou Zhihao to Dongguan to work.

Later she even brought her mother Luo Jiaxin to Dongguan as well.

But just last month, Li Yuncui and her mother Luo Jiaxin returned to Shanggou Village again, yet Zhou Zhihao who had been by her side was nowhere to be found.

Li Xiulan also didn't dare to ask Li Yuncui what happened, and only later learned from Zhou Hongwei's side that it turned out Zhou Zhihao and Li Yuncui had broken up long ago!

Initially the two loved each other to death, all kinds of vows of eternal love, but in the end it still resulted in a breakup.

Zhou Zhihao also said it was because Li Yuncui was not steadfast — while working in Dongguan, she actually got together with a male employee on the same assembly line, and after Zhou Zhihao found out, he was furious to the point of half-death, packed his luggage overnight and fled with his bucket, not even processing a resignation application, forfeiting over half a month's wages!

However, these rumors that were bad for Li Yuncui's reputation, Li Xiulan naturally would not tell Zhao Lifen.

She only picked the good things to say:

"Li Yuncui was also very impressive in her studies when young, she was in the same primary school class as Xiao Hua, every exam our Xiao Hua was first place, Li Yuncui second place! If your Yaohua can marry Li Yuncui, maybe the children they have in the future could also test into Tsinghua or Peking University!"

Zhao Lifen heard this and immediately widened her eyes:

"Really? Then you must help me make a good match!"
