Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
At this moment, Mao Dao added,
“I was actually quite a b.a.s.t.a.r.d in the past. My parents treated me well, but I misunderstood them. Later on, I fooled around with the idlers in the village all day long. It was all thanks to meeting Brother Luo Cheng and Madam that I
turned over a new leaf and started working steadily. My parents felt that meeting Brother Luo Cheng and Madam was the greatest blessing in my life. Therefore, I thought that I would just work for Luo Cheng and Madam for the rest of my life and I would do whatever you guys needed me to do. As long as I followed you guys closely and never fell behind, I would definitely be able to live a better life!”
No one expected Mao Dao to say such a thing.
“So, Brother Luo Cheng, Madam, I’ll have to trouble you guys to see what I’m suitable for! I can’t guarantee anything else, but I can definitely work hard and be loyal to you forever!” Mao Dao made up his mind and promised Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran.
“My mother said that I’m smart, but I lack a backbone. There’s no problem when I’m working, but it’s easy for me to make mistakes when making decisions. Therefore, it’s best for me to work with smart people like Brother Luo Cheng and Madam! This way, I can really play to my strengths and downplay my weaknesses!”
Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran were very moved by Mao Dao’s words.
It wasn’t difficult for a person to see their shortcomings and strengths clearly.
Mao Dao felt that he couldn’t do this himself, but he trusted Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran, so he handed over what he wasn’t good at to people who were good at it.
This self-awareness was very precious!
To be honest, Li Xiaoran was very touched that someone trusted her like this.
When Zhao Sisi looked at Mao Dao, she recalled her family and her brother, as well as everything that had happened at home recently.
If her parents or her brother had such self-awareness, perhaps none of these things would have happened.
If her family could give Xiaoran and her brother-in -law full trust and ask them for help like Mao Dao, Xiaoran wouldn’t refuse.
If that was the case, their family’s life definitely wouldn’t be like it was now. Instead, it would get better and better!
When Zhao Sisi looked up again, the way she looked at Mao Dao changed.
As expected of the man she had her eyes on. Just from what he had just said, she could tell how responsible and smart he was.
Zhao Sisi hadn’t misjudged him.
It wasn’t difficult for one to admit one’s shortcomings. The difficult part was knowing one’s shortcomings and finding a way to make up for them.
Mao Dao had done this.
At this moment, Zhao Sisi made a bold decision.
She didn’t want Xiaoran to help her anymore. She wanted to go home and express her intention to marry Mao Dao to her parents.
“Mao Dao, invite a matchmaker to propose marriage tomorrow!” At this moment, Zhao Sisi said what was on her mind.
This time, everyone was shocked.
After Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng exchanged looks, they laughed.
Although Zhao Sisi’s actions caught them off guard, after hearing Mao Dao’s words, the two of them felt that Zhao Sisi made the right choice by choosing to marry Mao Dao!
As the elder of the Zhao family, Zhao Huaishan quickly reacted.
“Everyone, I’m sorry, but I want to discuss things with my grandchild, so we’ll be leaving for a while!”
With that, Zhao Huaishan looked at Zhao Sisi. “Sisi, come over and talk to me in the vegetable garden at the back!”
Without hesitation, Zhao Sisi stood up.
Worried, Mao Dao stood up and came to Zhao Sisi’s side.
“Why don’t I go with you?!”
Zhao Sisi glanced at Mao Dao and smiled.
“There’s no need. You’ve already taken a brave step towards me, so leave the rest to me!”
With that, Zhao Sisi walked towards the vegetable garden at the back.
“I’ll go take a look too!” Xu Xiufang thought of something and stood up to follow.
For a moment, there was silence in the courtyard. No one spoke.
“It’s fine. There are some things that can’t be resolved by procrastination! Since the two of them are in love, they might as well resolve the problem as soon as possible!” Li Xiaoran said with a smile.
Zhao Xiu looked at the vegetable garden at the back with worry in her eyes.
“Xiaoran, once this matter spreads, I’m afraid your second uncle and second aunt will blame us for being nosy again!”
“Mother, don’t worry! This time, Second Aunt asked us to help Sisi find a suitable husband! As long as Grandpa and Grandma agree to this marriage, everything will be fine! Besides, Second Uncle and Second Aunt have a lot of complaints about us and we won’t make them feel comfortable no matter what we do, so we don’t have to worry too much as long as we have a clear conscience!” Li Xiaoran said indifferently.
Zhao Xiu felt that her daughter was right, so she threw this matter to the back of her mind.
“I’m sorry for causing trouble for everyone!” Mao Dao apologized. “But I have no choice. I’m sincerely in love with Miss Sisi and I must marry her!”
Hearing Mao Dao’s words, the others laughed.
“Good, good job! Men should take responsibility like this!” Kang Zheng came to Mao Dao’s side and patted his shoulder.
“If I had half of your determination and courage back then, I wouldn’t be alone now! You’re very impressive!” Gao Chen praised with a smile.
“That’s right! This is the responsibility of a man! No matter how difficult things are between you and Miss Zhao, you should bear the responsibility! You’re a man, so you have to do more!” Guan Dongshan also encouraged with a smile.
When Mao Dao heard everyone’s encouragement, his eyes stung and there was a lump in his throat.
“Thank you. I’ll work hard! Wait for me to invite you guys to my wedding banquet! I’ll definitely use my sincerity to move Miss Sisi’s parents and make them agree to let Miss Sisi marry me!”
Li Xiaoran leaned on Luo Cheng’s shoulder and looked at Mao Dao’s excited expression with a gratified smile.
“The heavens will always reward brave people! I think Grandpa and Grandma will definitely agree to this marriage when they hear what Mao Dao said today!
This kid is really lucky! After he exposed his shortcomings, he obtained a wife. This isn’t a loss!”
When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he thought of something and smiled.
“That’s right! The heavens never let down brave people! Just like you and I back then! You dared to come to me and I dared to agree.. Aren’t we being rewarded
