Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 17 Why are you doing this?
More than half an hour later, Li Guoqiang finally finished his first dinner since he came to this world in this sad but slightly warm atmosphere.

Because of Yao Meilan's preference for him, he felt that the meal was okay. At least it made him not miss the various delicacies from his previous life too much.

Afterwards, just as he sat down to rest for a while, Luo Huijuan went to the kitchen to bring him a basin of hot water, and even squatted in front of him, wanting to wash his feet.

His eyes quickly swept across the slightly taut waistband of the pants, and then he quickly waved his hand to signal Luo Huijuan not to do it and let him do it himself.

However, Luo Huijuan ignored him and just reached out and grabbed his calf.

He struggled a little, but ultimately couldn't resist Luo Huijuan's insistence and quietly enjoyed his regular foot washing at home.

Back then, he would go to those kind-hearted technicians to wash his feet, and he would always use sharp eyes to criticize the other person's conscience every time.

But this time, he inexplicably didn't dare to look at Luo Huijuan, and even didn't dare to move, for fear that he would accidentally destroy this precious family relationship in front of him.

After finally finishing washing his feet, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Then, while Luo Huijuan went to pour water, he hurriedly greeted Li Dawei, who was sitting next to him and smoking, and Yao Meilan, who was sitting in front of the sewing machine on the other side, making a new cotton-padded jacket, and then slipped back to his own room as if escaping.

Seeing this, Li Guofu did not follow him back to the house, but silently repeated what Li Guoqiang had said to him before.

Then, he said with a serious and firm face: "Dad, Mom, I have made up my mind. No matter whether my brother can come back in the future, when I get married and have children, I will give my firstborn son to my brother for adoption. He will take care of my brother in his old age and pass on the family line."

After hearing this, Yao Meilan not only did not nod in agreement, but also started to scold directly.

"Go away, it's not your turn to worry about your brother. Since your brother has given you the chance to stay in the city, you should learn to be more sensible in the future. Don't be so reckless and childish as before. Work hard and repay your brother when he comes back."

Li Guofu was slightly stunned when he heard this, then quickly nodded and agreed.

"Okay, then I'll save more money and wait for my brother to come back and find him a beautiful wife!"

When Yao Meilan saw Li Guofu still talking endlessly about finding a wife for Li Guoqiang, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Okay, you should just take care of your own business first! You don't need to worry about your brother's marriage. Your father and I have already arranged it!"

"It's been arranged? How come I didn't know about it?"

Li Guofu's eyes widened, and then he looked at Yao Meilan in surprise.

"This is adult business, don't ask around, kid. Go back to your room!"

Yao Meilan glanced at Li Dawei, whose face was as gloomy as water, and then hurriedly put on a stern face and started to scold him.

"Oh!"

Seeing that Yao Meilan was angry, Li Guofu didn't dare to ask any more questions. He immediately got up and walked out obediently.

Seeing the door closed again, Yao Meilan was silent for a while, then asked worriedly, "Old Li, what do you think we should do about Xiaojuan and Xiaoqiang now?"

"Just now when I was cooking in the kitchen, Xiaojuan told me that she wanted to settle her relationship with Xiaoqiang before he went to the countryside. She also said that she wanted to leave a descendant for Xiaoqiang."

"What if Xiaoqiang doesn't come back? Wouldn't that ruin Xiaojuan's life?" "So, I wanted to persuade her to think about it again."

"But you also know that this child has been stubborn since she was young. She immediately told me that she was Xiaoqiang's child bride and had the responsibility and obligation to leave a descendant for Xiaoqiang. I couldn't do anything about it."

"In the final analysis, this is all my fault. If I hadn't thought that Xiaoqiang would have a hard time finding a wife when he grew up, and if I hadn't been reluctant to marry off the girl I had raised with great difficulty, and told Xiaojuan that she was Xiaoqiang's child bride, things wouldn't have turned out like this now."

"I had originally planned to wait two years for Xiaoqiang to get married with Xiaojuan when he reached the age. After all, they are not in the same household registration book, and the neighbors know that they are not related by blood, so it will not violate the regulations!"

"But who could have thought that there would suddenly be a thing called joining the production team in the countryside?"

"Okay, stop talking. I told you that this was not okay, but you refused to listen. You even scolded me for not caring about the child and not considering my own child. Now you know you regret it, don't you?"

Li Dawei couldn't help but get angry when he heard Yao Meilan talking endlessly.

Yao Meilan was slightly stunned, and then immediately retorted with an indignant look on her face: "Isn't this all for the good of the child? Do you really want Xiaoqiang to live alone for the rest of his life? Are you being worthy of my poor sister?"

Hearing this, Li Dawei was suddenly speechless.

At the beginning, although he was opposed, he did not strongly oppose it, otherwise Yao Meilan alone would not be able to decide such a big thing.

Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now!

Thinking of this, he waved his hand and sighed, "I think we should just forget about it! Xiaoqiang is going to the countryside this time, and I don't know if he can come back alive in the future. We can't let Xiaojuan get hurt!"

"When she comes back later, I'll talk to her properly and tell her to just pretend that this matter has never been mentioned and find a good man to marry out there."

"boom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Then, Luo Huijuan walked quickly to Li Dawei and Yao Meilan and said with a firm face: "Dad, Mom, you don't have to persuade me anymore. In this life, I am Guoqiang's person in life and Guoqiang's ghost in death. If he really can't come back, then I will serve you two for the rest of my life!"

"Alas! Why are you doing this?"

Li Dawei and Yao Meilan looked at Luo Huijuan's firm attitude, and all the words they were going to use to persuade her were swallowed back into their stomachs, and finally turned into a long sigh.

Luo Huijuan was silent for a while, then she explained softly, "Dad, Mom, I'm not angry with you, nor am I acting on impulse. I really like Xiaoqiang from the bottom of my heart and want to take care of him for the rest of his life."

"If you really want to do good for us, then please help us!"

Li Dawei and Yao Meilan looked at each other, and then hesitantly raised the most critical question.

"Xiaojuan! We understand your feelings for Xiaoqiang, but have you ever thought about whether Xiaoqiang is willing to accept you?"
