Portable Space: Reborn Little Couple

Chapter 312
A stepmother is a rather magical creature.

In Mo Qianrui's memory, there are short stories, dramas and fairy tales about stepmothers in ancient and modern China and abroad.

However, since Mo Qianrui didn't read many books, if she really wanted to talk, she probably only knew "Cinderella" and "Snow White".

But in these two fairy tales, the stepmother is not a good thing.

Because of this, Mo Qianrui instinctively suspected that she had fallen in love with Miss Hua's stepmother before shopkeeper Li Da told the truth.

"you guessed right."

Shopkeeper Li Da curled his lips not very sincerely. Judging by his expression, although he was also angry, he was more troubled.

"No, I remember the old priest said that the stepmother of the flower girl is also an unfortunate person. She was delayed by her natal stepmother and finally had to marry an old man... Cough cough, uncle, I'm not saying you're old."

Suddenly realizing that he had said what was in his heart, Mo Qianrui hurriedly changed his words, but he didn't expect that these words were more like 300 taels of silver here.

Fortunately, shopkeeper Li Da was too lazy to know as much as a little girl like her.

"Okay, I'm indeed an old man, and I also know that women love young men. However, this marriage is a matter of your love and my willingness, and I didn't force the other party to marry." She glanced at Mo Qianrui angrily, Shopkeeper Li Da poured a cup of tea, and then said, "Your source of information is quite reliable, but have you ever thought that just because you have experienced misfortune, you hope that the people around you are more unfortunate than yourself?"

And this kind of person?
Mo Qianrui stared speechlessly, what kind of logic is this?

According to Li Da's statement, then she lost her parents and sister in a car accident in her previous life, wouldn't she expect everyone to be ruined like her?
This kind of thinking... is really perverted!
Seeing Mo Qianrui's expression in his eyes, when shopkeeper Li Da spoke again, his tone softened a bit: "Actually, it's just that way. Although their family is a collateral branch of the Hua family, their status in the Hua family is not that good." It's very average, but the family background is not bad, it can be regarded as a wealthy family. The girl's stepmother is not a bad person, but her life is too hard. Alas, it must be God's tricks."

Tang Yanxiu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly looked up at Shopkeeper Li.

At the same time, Mo Qianrui also took a strange look at Shopkeeper Li.

"What do you two mean?"

This time, Mo Qianrui didn't speak, Tang Yanxiu hesitated for a moment, but said: "Father, do you have something to hide from us?"

Hearing what Tang Yanxiu said, shopkeeper Li Da changed his face instantly, and then he sighed deeply.

Sure enough, I guessed right.

Thinking back to Shopkeeper Li's last sentence "God's will tricks people", Mo Qianrui began to make up the past based on the countless [-] o'clock TV dramas she had watched in her previous life.

It's no wonder that Mo Qianrui thinks too much, no matter what kind of person that flower girl's stepmother is, even if she really has a lot of misfortunes, she can't talk about God's will, right?
unless……

In the end, under the meaningful eyes of Mo Qianrui and Tang Yanxiu, shopkeeper Li Da announced his surrender.

"Forget it, forget it, it doesn't matter if I tell you, anyway, I didn't do anything wrong."

In fact, the matter is quite simple to say, it is nothing more than the fact that shopkeeper Li Da met a certain girl when he went out to explore when he was young, and then the two fell in love at first sight, but because of the incompatibility of their identities, they missed a good marriage.

Coincidentally, the two parties involved in the story, one is the shopkeeper Li Da, and the other is the stepmother of Hua girl.

"Wait, that's not right, uncle, I remember Hua girl's stepmother looks only 27 or [-] years old. If you fell in love with her at first sight, wouldn't you be cheating on Aunt Li's back?"

Shopkeeper Li was not the only one who was shocked by Mo Qianrui's outspokenness, Tang Yanxiu was also almost choked to death by his own saliva.

Fortunately, the two of them were already mentally prepared for Mo Qianrui's strange remarks that would not come out from time to time, and after a while, they both returned to normal.

"Girl, do you think I'm old?"

Mo Qianrui quickly shook his head first, then subconsciously glanced at Li Da's shopkeeper, and immediately shook his head even more joyfully.

To be honest, the Li family members are all good-looking.

Whether it's the shopkeeper Li, or the other men or unmarried girls of the Li family, in terms of appearance alone, they are all top-notch in ten miles and eight villages.Moreover, the members of the Li family have a very strange characteristic, that is, they don't look old.Of course, the Li family here refers to the direct blood of the Li family, like the aunts and sisters-in-law of the Li family, all of whom are quite ordinary in appearance.

As for shopkeeper Li Da, he was already in his forties, but he seemed to be in his early thirties.

This is no longer a question of appearance, but that people are born younger than their peers, and others are not envious.

Mo Qianrui knew the real age of shopkeeper Li Da, so she shook her head resolutely, and her face was full of sincerity.

"Uncle, you look so young. If you stand with my father, people who don't know will think you are younger than my father." The Mo family's father is thirty-one this year, just because he has been in the field all year round. Labor, and he doesn't look very good, he does look two or three years older than his actual age.

Of course, what Mo Qianrui said was a bit exaggerated, but shopkeeper Li Da was quite happy to hear it.

"What about Liu Rong? By the way, she is the stepmother of the flower girl you mentioned. She looks quite young, right? In fact, if you count carefully, she will be over 30 this year. This is the first time I saw her At the time, she was only 13 years old, which was already 20 years ago. Don't stare at me, because I worked hard outside all the year round, I got married too late. I first built a house for my younger brothers and married a wife. We got married."

Hearing what shopkeeper Li Da said, Mo Qianrui had nothing to say.

If this is already married, it is of course wrong to see different things and think differently, but if the man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried, the nature is completely different.

It's just that people in this era pay attention to being well-matched. Although shopkeeper Li Da looks pretty good now, but counting 20 years ago, he must be a poor boy.

Fighting for one generation is life.

"Actually, Liu Rong also had a hard life. She is a lady from a great family. Her natal family is incomparable with the Hua family, but... she is equivalent to Miss Qiao's family in Mingyue Town. Maybe her natal family was richer than the Qiao family at that time. And As for me, my parents died early, I have five younger brothers, and my family has no property, how could they be willing to marry their daughter to me?"

"But 20 years ago, didn't the second uncle of the Li family get married?"

"Your second aunt is the daughter of a poor and settled family in the countryside. I gave her five hundred big iron coins, and she married her daughter to your second uncle happily. Are they comparable?"

Shopkeeper Li Da gave Mo Qianrui a look, and said: "Your aunts are all in the same situation. They are all hungry and full at home. Speaking of which, your sisters-in-law's natal families are not bad, but That's also because when I married them, my old Li's family had already been established."

"But, it's been so long, uncle, you don't have any more feelings for that Liu Rong..."

"What did you say, little girl?" Continuing to stare, Shopkeeper Li looked like he was about to pop his eyes out, "As early as 20 years ago, I put this matter aside. Why is it that a man has no wife? Hmph , don’t bully young people to be poor, I was a poor boy back then, but I’m not living well now? But Liu Rong... Sigh, don’t blame her, she also has a hard life.”

Lowering his head and pouring the tea fiercely, the shopkeeper Li Da couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Mo Qianrui looked at shopkeeper Li Da eagerly, looking forward to the next story.

In the end, Li Da's shopkeeper suddenly sold out, unwilling to talk about life and death, and Mo Qianrui was so angry that he almost didn't pat the table.

"Okay, uncle, even if you don't want to talk about the past, then tell me, do you want to marry Hua girl?"

"As long as she is willing to marry, I am naturally willing to marry. But if their family repents, I will naturally not beg to come to the door. Big girl, I am not Yan Xiu. Besides, Yan Xiu likes you , I didn't say I liked the flower girl. In fact, I never met her at all."

never seen it……

Mo Qianrui was taken aback by these three words, but he also understood that this was the norm in this era.

Seeing that there was no story to be found from shopkeeper Li Da, Mo Qianrui came up with the old idea of ​​making offerings after seeing off the guests.

Anyway, she would never go back to Tangzhai unless it was absolutely necessary, it was too scary and really not suitable for her.

And the old priest is obviously a good source of information, or because of the several pots of rare flowers that Tang Yanxiu sent one after another, the old priest became interested in them in vain.Let alone inquiring about some unimportant news, even if it is difficult to do, the old priest is willing to help.

After sitting in Hua's house for less than half an hour, the old priest found someone who knew something about the past.

However, it turned out that the past between the shopkeeper Li Da and Liu Rong was still a shocking thing 20 years ago.

A love story that must be told between a poor boy in the country and a daughter of a wealthy family.

This is definitely the favorite plot of the storyteller in the restaurant, not to mention that it is a real story.Of course, at the time, no one would name names, but in the eyes of insiders, this is not a big secret.

Even though the two only met a few times at that time and did not do anything that crossed the line, it was still rumored, especially when Liu Rong was forced to marry the shopkeeper Li Da by death.

Unfortunately, no matter how romantic the process is, the ending is doomed.

Naturally, Liu Rong did not marry her beloved as she wished, but instead lost her boudoir reputation.He was imprisoned at home for three years, but after Jiji, because of this incident, no one was willing to come to talk about marriage.However, Liu Rong is not the only daughter in the family, she has three younger sisters.It was also because of her incident that her three younger sisters also suffered together.
