Border Cook

But before Song could reply, Li Shuisheng rushed into the room, his face livid, and shouted at You, "My sister-in-law won't marry anyone else, get out!"

Youshi was not angry, she just smiled and said softly, "In the past, it was said that if you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog. Since your sister-in-law married into the Li family, she should not remarry. But that was in the past. Now the world has changed. You can't stop your sister-in-law, right?"

"I told you, my sister-in-law won't marry anyone else!" Li Shuisheng said as he grabbed You's arm and dragged her out. "Don't come to my house to propose marriage to my sister-in-law anymore!"

Li Shuisheng was tall and strong, while Youshi was short and slender. She staggered several times after being dragged and pushed by Li Shuisheng.

After he finally managed to steady himself, Youshi continued to persuade him, "Shuisheng, you are not young anymore, you should understand some things. Apart from other things, just because your sister-in-law has worked hard to raise you for so many years, you should also make some plans for her future..."

"Are you leaving or not?" Li Shuisheng picked up the big broom standing at the base of the kitchen wall and pretended to hit Youshi with it.

"Hey, kid, are you crazy?" Song hurriedly stopped him.

But at this time, Li Shuisheng's eyes were red and the veins on his forehead were bulging, like a mad beast.

Song had never seen Li Shuisheng like this before and was terrified. Seeing that she could not dissuade Li Shuisheng, she hurriedly sent You out first.

After leading You out of the yard and even walking halfway through the alley, Song was relieved to see that Li Shuisheng had not caught up with her. She apologized to You, "Please forgive me, Madam You. Shuisheng is not like this on weekdays. He must be having trouble accepting that the woman from the Li family has remarried..."

"I understand." Youshi said hurriedly, "This man loves face and thinks that women should follow the three obediences and four virtues, and that a woman should not serve two husbands. Shuisheng is young, so he feels this way even more."

"It's just Shuisheng's opinion. The big decision still has to be made by Madam Song herself. If Madam Song really wants to get married, can Li Shuisheng still tie you up at home?"

"Mrs. Song, don't take it to heart as a child. You should focus on your own affairs, the matter of Liu Tiezhu..."

"I know this was said so suddenly, Madam Song is bound to feel a little surprised, but there is no rush for this matter, Madam Song, please think about it carefully first, and I will come to find you in a few days."

After saying this, without waiting for Song to reply, You patted the back of Song's hand and left in a hurry.

"Hey..." Song wanted to stop him and say a few more words, but she saw Li Shuisheng coming over, so she had to stop him first, "What are you doing? Go home first!"

"If you dare to come here again in the future, I will blast you away!" Li Shuisheng still made a harsh statement.

Anxiously, Mrs. Song hit Li Shuisheng on the shoulder and said, "What are you talking about? If you don't let Madam You into the house, what will happen to your marriage in the future?"

The worst thing to do is to offend the Iceman.

"No way!" Li Shui said angrily.

Song's anger surged in her heart and she hit Li Shuisheng again.

This slap was heavier than the previous one.

Li Shuisheng frowned and finally swallowed back the words he wanted to say in defense.

It wasn’t that he felt pain from being beaten, but he was worried that Song’s hand would hurt.

Seeing that Li Shuisheng remained silent, Song sighed, pulled his arm and walked back, "Come back with me first!"

Li Shuisheng followed him back obediently.

The two returned to the main room and sat down at the square table.

They all had gloomy faces and were silent. After a long time, Song sighed and spoke, "I didn't expect that Madam You came here today to propose marriage to me, but don't worry, I don't want to marry that Liu Tiezhu."

"Yes." Li Shuisheng nodded. "Sister-in-law doesn't need to get married. I will make a lot of money in the future to support and take care of her."

Hearing this, Song felt slightly relieved.

She had been a widow in the Li family for many years, and had suffered a lot of hard work and listened to a lot of sarcastic remarks. She even suffered a lot with Li Shuisheng after her parents-in-law passed away. But she had survived.

It is said that the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. Song believed that she had fulfilled her duties and took good care of Li Shuisheng with all her heart.

Now that Li Shuisheng has grown up, he knows how to love her and be filial to her.

However, in two years, Li Shuisheng will have to start a family, take care of his wife, and raise his own children. In the future, she will have to rely on herself.

The Song family really didn’t care whether the parents were taken care of or not, or whether the parents were filial or not.

But Li Shuisheng's intention made her feel that all her hard work over the years had paid off.

But Song had just been angry about the marriage proposal, so it was not appropriate for her to mention Li Shuisheng's marriage to him now. She just said, "It's getting late, go to bed."

"Okay." Li Shuisheng agreed and went to clean up and wash up.

After a busy period, everyone went back to their rooms.

Song was tired every day and fell asleep quickly, but Li Shuisheng tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

My sister-in-law said that she would not marry Liu Tiezhu, but she never said that she would never marry in the future.

Will my sister-in-law get married?

Does she...want to get married?
My sister-in-law always talks about his marriage...

Otherwise, should he explain it directly to his sister-in-law so that she can know what he is thinking?
But what if my sister-in-law is worried about what the leader says?
Or, just take my sister-in-law to live somewhere else and avoid everyone?

But the money he earns now is not enough to take his sister-in-law to settle down somewhere else...

Wait a few more years, and when he has saved enough money, he will tell his sister-in-law everything.

In this case, if his sister-in-law agrees, he is also able to take her to settle down somewhere else.

Li Shuisheng made up his mind, then he yawned, turned over again and closed his eyes.

As the night deepened, the candlelight flickered.

Xia Mingyue's eyelids were drooping, but she still forced herself to continue practicing calligraphy.

It is expected that she will not stay in the county school for too long, so she has to seize the time and learn all the characters that Principal Zhou teaches her every day. This way she can speed up the progress and learn as many characters as possible.

Thinking this, Xia Mingyue dipped the handkerchief in the basin of water, wet it and wiped her face with it to make herself more awake.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhuguo, who was standing by, also wiped his face.

But even so, I still got a big yawn.

Seeing how sleepy she was, Xia Mingyue smiled and said, "You can hardly open your eyes. Go to sleep."

"I can still hold on." Jiang Zhuguo patted his cheek and said jokingly, "I'm mainly afraid that Sister Xia will say she's working hard, but when I leave, she won't write a single word and will go straight to bed, so I have to monitor her."

Xia Mingyue naturally knew that Jiang Zhuguo was worried that she would not be able to complete her homework and would be upset the next day, so he stayed here to accompany her. She smiled and said, "You..."

"Sister Xia, stop playing around and write quickly, this is serious business." Jiang Zhuguo urged. (End of this chapter)
