Protagonist:
Li Xiulan
Li Zhenxing sighed, lamenting the injustice of fate and the tricks of providence.
In his view, his daughter Li Yuncui was no worse than Xiao Hua; Li Yuncui had been as clever as Xiao Hua in childhood, so why was she so far behind after growing up?
He could not figure it out.
Or perhaps he knew the reason, but was unwilling to accept the cruel fact.
He did not want to admit his failure in education.
So he could only complain about so-called fate.
"Brother Zhenxing, Yuncui is a fine girl; these days, dead-bookishness is useless. Look at Xiao Hua—besides studying, what can he do?"
Wang Zhanggen said this, firmly.
This was not mere polite talk on his part.
Rather, he sincerely felt that Xiao Hua really knew nothing, just a bookworm.
Otherwise he would not worry so much about Xiao Hua's major life matter.
"By the way, does Xiao Hua have a partner?"
At this moment, Luo Jiaxin asked such a question.
"How could he? He can hardly speak; with his personality, I bet when he sees a girl he can't say a complete sentence!"
Wang Zhanggen said this.
He truly felt Xiao Hua's personality was bad; at home Xiao Hua rarely spoke to him.
Not even speaking to family, let alone outsiders?
In Wang Zhanggen's eyes, Xiao Hua was an extremely introverted child.
Not like his two older brothers who had social skills.
It can only be said that Wang Zhanggen's eye for people had always been so inaccurate.
He had never judged a person correctly in his whole life.
"Your Xiao Hua has no partner, and my Yuncui has no partner; why not let them try seeing each other?"
Luo Jiaxin cautiously made this suggestion at this time.
Without waiting for Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan to answer, she hurriedly added:
"I'm just saying it casually, don't be angry; if you're unwilling, just pretend I never said it!"
She felt Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan would surely dislike her somewhat.
Even if they didn't say it aloud, they would dislike her in their hearts.
Which family would want to marry a woman carrying another man's child?
So Luo Jiaxin dared not put her words so absolutely.
And Li Zhenxing held not a shred of hope; he immediately coldly refuted Luo Jiaxin:
"What matchmaking are you pulling? Xiao Hua is a Tsinghua University student; no matter how poor he is, he is not someone our daughter can match, let alone our daughter being so unruly, now returning with a big belly, she has no face to see people!"
After scolding Luo Jiaxin, Li Zhenxing hurriedly apologized to Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan:
"Changgen, Xiulan, don't take my wife's words to heart; she's just talking nonsense, no brains!"
However, what Li Zhenxing and Luo Jiaxin never expected was:
At this moment, Wang Zhanggen spoke:
"Brother Zhenxing, Sister-in-law Jiaxin, my wife and I came this time precisely to discuss the matter between our Xiao Hua and your Yuncui!"
"This..."
Li Zhenxing was stunned.
"What?"
Luo Jiaxin also went thump, her face full of disbelief.
Li Xiulan hurriedly said:
"Does your Yuncui look up to our Xiao Hua? If she does, let's match them!"
Li Zhenxing still found it hard to believe:
"Xiulan, are you joking with these words?"
Wang Zhanggen chuckled:
"Marriage is a major matter; how could it be a joke? We even brought a rooster over, so it's no joke!"
Li Xiulan said:
"We consulted Wu Banxian; your Yuncui is Xiao Hua's destined marriage fate!"
Li Zhenxing and Luo Jiaxin, the couple, came back to their senses from surprise, immediately beaming with joy.
Their daughter had been made pregnant and abandoned by a scoundrel outside, and they had still worried about finding no other man to marry her, that she would remain single for a lifetime!
Unexpectedly, Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan actually came to them on their own initiative to discuss this marriage arrangement!
Was this not a great piece of good fortune like a pancake falling from the sky!
"I'll go call Yuncui in right now to ask her opinion!"
Luo Jiaxin was so happy her hands trembled a little.
She hurriedly turned around and went outside the courtyard, calling Li Yuncui in.
"Yun Cui, hurry into the house for a moment, I have something to discuss with you!"
"Mom, what is it? I don't want to go back inside, it's stuffy in there." Li Yuncui looked unhappy.
Luo Jiaxin hurriedly said:
"Your Uncle Changgen and Aunt Xiulan are planning to match you with Xiao Hua, why don't you try to win him over?"
"This..."
Li Yuncui was also very surprised.
You see, a few days ago she ran into Wang Xiaohua at the old site of the Primary School, and Wang Xiaohua had personally told her that he already had a girlfriend.
So why are his parents coming to talk to her about this matter now?
"Don't just stand there, hurry into the house, and stop picking and choosing. Xiao Hua's height and looks aren't great, but he's a Tsinghua University Student. If you're with him, you'll have a good life from now on!"
Luo Jiaxin quickly pulled Li Yuncui into the house.
Then she smiled and asked Li Yuncui:
"Daughter, tell me quickly, are you willing to accept this marriage arrangement?"
Li Yuncui was still confused:
"I am willing, but... is Xiao Hua willing?"
In the past, she actually disliked Wang Xiaohua's height and looks, feeling that such a man was not presentable, and might even be mocked if she took him out shopping.
But now she was pregnant before marriage, and she knew she no longer had the right to be picky, so she lowered her standards and could reluctantly accept Wang Xiaohua's height and appearance.
"He's just a Bookworm who doesn't understand anything. Since we parents agree to this matter, there's no room for him to disagree!"
Wang Zhanggen said firmly.
It sounded as if he were the head of the household whose word was final.
"But, he previously said..."
Li Yuncui was about to say that Wang Xiaohua had previously told her he already had a partner.
But before she could finish her sentence, Wang Zhanggen interrupted her:
"Yun Cui, no more 'buts.' As long as you agree, it's settled!"
Li Xiulan also chimed in:
"That's right, don't dislike our Xiao Hua either. Although Xiao Hua isn't great-looking, he's a good person. You don't know this, but the Tape Recorder you gave him when he was in Primary School, he's kept it safe until now. I guess Xiao Hua definitely has some feelings for you, he's just too shy to say it!"
Hearing these words, Li Yuncui was surprised, but also felt some joy:
"Really? I thought he had long forgotten about the Tape Recorder."
Previously, Wang Xiaohua had indeed told her that he no longer remembered that Tape Recorder.
That was because Wang Xiaohua didn't want Li Yuncui to misunderstand him, which was why he said such things.
Who would have thought that now Li Xiulan would tell Li Yuncui that Wang Xiaohua had still been keeping that Tape Recorder.
Now it was fine; it was probably hard for Li Yuncui not to misunderstand.
Li Yuncui was immediately moved:
"If Xiao Hua doesn't dislike me, then marrying him isn't out of the question."
Hearing Li Yuncui clearly agree to this marriage arrangement.
Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan were so happy.
Wang Zhanggen said:
"Then this matter is settled. Later we'll pick a good day and hurry to hold the wedding!"
