<strong>Chapter 267: Chapter 267: Are You Feeling Guilty?!</strong>
My Chunxia ispliant and pretty, and she looks like she can bear children. I just can’t bear to marry her off to such a man, to be a meek stepmother as soon as she steps through the door.”
If there were a son-inw candidate like the one at the Team Leader’s House, she naturally wouldn’t mind marrying off her Chunxia to them. That way, her family would soon have a television set, and they could receive packages from their daughter from time to time.
Thinking along these lines, Mrs. Xu had indeed been matching her daughter Chunxia over thest two months, specifically targeting men who were looking for a second marriage. After all, such men would be willing to pay a higher bride price for a virgin bride, but for two whole months, she had not found a suitable match.
With this in mind, Mrs. Xu envied the Team Leader’s House even more.
Their son-inw had just sent over a television set and now their daughter was sending back a big parcel. Who knows what kinds of nice things were inside.
“If I remember correctly, Mrs. Xu, it was half a month ago, I heard Dongping’s mother mentioning…”
Before Wang Chunhua could finish her sentence, Mrs. Xu’s heart skipped a beat, hastily interrupting her: “Aunt Wang, we’re just chatting here, why bring up Dongping’s mother? Alright, alright, if you want to discuss the matters of the Team Leader’s House, go ahead, I’d like to hear more about it too.”
At this moment, Mrs. Xu was extremely annoyed by Dongping’s mother, especially considering that both their mother’s homes were in the same vige, and they were married into Aoli Vige one after the other, having been on good terms since childhood,
and whenever she had something on her mind, she would talk it over with Dongping’s mother, who did the same in return. But how did Wang Chunhuae to know about something she had only recently discussed with Dongping?
“You’re feeling guilty, aren’t you?!”
Wang Chunhua noticed Mrs. Xu was intentionally trying to change the subject, but she was eager to see some drama unfold, so she naturally didn’t swallow her words, only to hear her say:
“Dongping’s mother has a cousin who married into the city, and half a month ago, you asked someone to contact Dongping’s mother and her cousin to help find a decent second marriage match for your Chunxia in the city…”
Mrs. Xu’s face turned sour: “Wang Chunhua, are you trying to pick a fight with me or what?”
Li Daniu: “Mrs. Xu, there’s nothing shameful about promising your daughter to a second marriage. Especially with Li Bao’s example before, why are you getting so angry with Chunhua?”
“Am I the one getting angry? It’s her who can’t stop spilling my family’s business, would you like it if you were in my ce?”
She envied the good match Li Bao from the Team Leader’s House had found in a second marriage and wanted to do the same for her family, but nothing was set in stone yet. How could she casually talk about it?
“If you’ve done it, why be afraid of people talking?!”
Li Daniu rolled her eyes.
“Forget it, you continue, I’m heading back.”
Seeing she was clearly being ostracized by the group of four, Mrs. Xu, to avoid further verbal disadvantage, dropped thement, took her empty rice bowl, and turned towards her own home.
Li Daniu watched Mrs. Xu’s retreating figure and snickered disdainfully, “Look at her, thinking anyone cares to gossip about that little pity party of hers!”
“Alright, let’s stop talking about the Xu family, and talk about the Team Leader’s House.” The Loudspeaker slurped up a mouthful of corn noodle soup and asked Wang Chunhua and Li Daniu, “Do you not know what Li Bao sent her family this time?”
Li Daniu retorted, “Do you know?”
The Loudspeaker shook her head, “If I knew, I wouldn’t be asking you.”
Wang Chunhua: “If you want to know, go take a look at the Team Leader’s House yourself.”
The Loudspeaker: “You say that as if you and Chunhua aren’t curious too.”
