Chapter 336: Taking the Initiative to Marry Her

The person who said this was none other than Kang Zheng.
He went to the latrine and when he returned, he heard Old Master Guo’s words.
Although Kang Zheng called Li Xiaoran his older sister-in-law every day, he was actually older than Li Xiaoran and was 18 years old this year.
After his injury subsided, Kang Zheng thought about marrying a wife.
However, he was a smart person. He didn’t show how much money he had acc.u.mulated. Instead, he pretended that he was an ordinary man and asked a matchmaker to matchmake him.
In the end, when those people saw that Kang Zheng had crippled legs and didn’t have much savings, they were all unwilling to marry him.
Therefore, until now, Kang Zheng hadn’t found a suitable girl to marry.
Now that he had heard about such a pitiful girl’s experience, Kang Zheng felt that this was an opportunity.
Even if he took the initiative, he wouldn’t lose anything.
Li Xiaoran looked at Kang Zheng and saw that there was no smile on his face. He looked very serious. She thought for a moment and said, “Village Chief, I think this is a good idea! You can go back and ask that girl what she thinks.
This is my husband’s good buddy, Kang Zheng. He retired from the battlefield.
Now, he’s also helping me and my husband.”
When Old Master Guo heard this, he sized up Kang Zheng and pondered.
To be honest, Kang Zheng was very handsome. If not for the fact that he pretended to be very poor previously, many girls would have been willing to marry him.
Besides, a man who had been to the battlefield was a responsible person. If Qin Cui’s niece was a smart person, she would know that this man was worth entrusting her life to.
The more Old Master Guo thought about it, the more he felt that it was a good idea, so he nodded.
“Alright, I’ll go back and talk to that girl. If she’s interested, I’ll bring her over to take a look! But Kang Zheng, if she’s willing, you have to treat her well! Even if I can’t deal with you, Luo Cheng can, right?”
“Don’t worry, Old Master. If that girl is really willing to marry me, I’d dote on my own wife. How can I mistreat her?!” Kang Zheng said.
When Old Master Guo heard this, he immediately nodded in satisfaction.
Satisfied, Old Master Guo looked at Kang Zheng and smiled again.
“You’re quite bold! You haven’t even seen the little girl yet, but you want to marry her. Aren’t you afraid that she’s very ugly?”
Kang Zheng touched his head when he heard Old Master Guo’s teasing words.
“Old Master, everyone in the Wan family has designs on her. I believe this girl is definitely not ugly. It’s fine as long as she’s not ugly and she’s willing to live a peaceful life with me!”
“I didn’t expect you to be such a meticulous person! You even grasped point so accurately. Alright, I’ll go ask the girl for you now! ” With that, Master Guo stood up and left.
After Li Xiaoran sent him out, she turned to look at Kang Zheng.
“How impressive. You just s.n.a.t.c.hed a wife for yourself!” Kang Zheng’s eyes lit up when he heard Li Xiaoran’s words. “Do you think I can get her to marry me?”
“I’m 80% sure!” Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said.
As long as the other party wasn’t blind, she would definitely be tempted.
When the girl came to see Kang Zheng, she would definitely agree.
After all, women were all quite vain. Kang Zheng was a little tanned, but he was upright and handsome, the kind that girls liked.
Qin Cui’s niece’s name was Wen Lu. She was a tenacious woman.
If not for this, a timid woman like her wouldn’t have dared to seek refuge with her family thousands of miles away.
After Old Master Guo returned, he told Qin Cui and Wen Lu about Kang Zheng’s situation.
“That’s all. It depends on what you think. Xiaoran has already agreed to let you work at the shop. However, if you don’t marry Kang Zheng, you have to find another place to live. There are three men living in the shop, so it’s not appropriate for a girl to live there!”
When Qin Cui and Wen Lu heard Old Master Guo’s words, they also began to ponder.
“Village Chief, can you let me discuss it with my niece? We’ll give you an answer later!”
“Alright, discuss it carefully! After all, it’s a big deal!” Old Master Guo nodded and said, “It just so happens that I have to go to the Liang family’s house.
Discuss it first. I’ll come back later!”
Qin Cui nodded and said gratefully, “Village Chief, thank you so much! If you hadn’t helped us, I don’t know what would have happened to my niece!” Old Master Guo knew what Qin Cui was talking about and sighed.
“Qin Cui, you’re the daughter-in-law of the Wan family. You should know the Wan family’s situation! It’s difficult for even an upright official to resolve family matters. There are some things that I can’t interfere in!”
“Village Chief, you’ve already helped us a lot! We all know your difficulties! Thank you!” Qin Cui thanked him with red eyes.
“It’s fine as long as I can help you!” Old Master Guo left again.
Qin Cui turned around and greeted Old Master Guo’s family. Then, the two of them went to the vegetable field at the side to talk.
“Aunt, what do you think?” Wen Lu looked at Qin Cui and asked.
“Lu’er! I know Li Xiaoran’s family. They’re definitely honest people. You’re lucky to get to work in her shop! Li Xiaoran’s husband, Luo Cheng, is very capable. Li Xiaoran is also capable. If you work for such a boss, your life will definitely get better and better in the future. As for that man called Kang Zheng, you can go and take a look first! If he’s really a good person, you can consider marrying him!” Qin Cui said what was on her mind.
“Lu’er, it’s not that I’m forcing you to make a decision now, but you don’t know what the Wan family is really like. As long as you’re not married, they’ll try their best to force you to submit. I can only protect myself and my own child in the Wan family. I can’t protect you! Kang Zheng has been on the battlefield before. If you stay in the village in the future, he can protect you!” Wen Lu nodded when she heard her aunt say what was on her mind.
“Aunt, I know you’re in a difficult position. Don’t worry! When the Village Chief comes back, let’s go see Kang Zheng! As long as he’s a good person, I’ll marry him! If I marry him, at least I’ll have a place to live. I won’t cause trouble for you, let alone have any in-laws to serve. No matter how I look at it, this marriage is not a bad idea!”
Seeing that her niece understood, Qin Cui was relieved..
