When Old Master Guo returned, Qin Cui said that she wanted to see Kang Zheng.
Old Master Guo had expected this, so he nodded and brought the two of them to the shop.
At this moment, the shop was a little busy. When Qin Cui and Wen Lu saw that Li Xiaoran and the others were a little busy, they quickly helped tidy up the dishes and tables.
Wen Lu sat in front of the wooden basin in the courtyard at the back and quickly washed the piled bowls and chopsticks with the loofah.
Seeing that everyone was busy, Old Master Guo only said a few words to Li Xiaoran before leaving.
After all, he had things to do at home. He couldn’t stay here for long.
Anyway, he had already brought her over, so he didn’t have to worry about anything else.
After the guests were settled and everyone was free, Li Xiaoran brought Qin Cui and Wen Lu to the courtyard at the back to rest.
After pouring two cups of tea for the two of them, Li Xiaoran smiled and said, “Thank you so much for helping just now. Fortunately, you guys came to help. Otherwise, we would have been so busy!”
Qin Cui looked at Li Xiaoran in disbelief.
“Xiaoran, you seem to have changed a lot. If not for the fact that your mother was by your side, I wouldn’t have recognized you!”
Li Xiaoran laughed when she heard Luo Cheng’s words.
“Auntie Qin, I was malnourished in the past. Now that I get to eat enough food, of course I’ve changed drastically!”
When Qin Cui heard Li Xiaoran’s words and thought of the Li family’s situation in the past, she understood.
“You’re a lucky woman!”
“I just got lucky!” Li Xiaoran took a sip of tea and said with a smile.
“That’s true!” Qin Cui sighed. Then, she thought of something and took the initiative to ask, “By the way, this is my niece, Wen Lu. She’s 16 years old this year, about the same age as you. I wonder which one Kang Zheng is?”
Li Xiaoran remembered why the two of them had come and nodded with a smile. “Wait a moment. Kang Zheng is busy in the shop next door!”
With that, Li Xiaoran shouted.
“Kang Zheng, come to the courtyard!”
“Yes, Sister-in-law! I’ll be right there!” Kang Zheng replied as he prepared a customer’s food. Then, he asked Gao Chen to serve the food to customers.
The pots on the display table were all full. There was no need to cook anymore, so Gao Chen had nothing to do.
Even when he wasn’t cooking, Gao Chen wouldn’t slack off. He came out with Kang Zheng to serve the customers.
Kang Zheng walked straight into the courtyard with his walking stick. When he saw a woman and a young girl standing beside Li Xiaoran, he immediately understood something.
His handsome face blushed.
When Wen Lu saw Kang Zheng, she noticed his flushed face.
For some reason, Wen Lu wanted to laugh when she saw Kang Zheng blush. Qin Cui watched as the person with the walking stick walked over, so she sized
It had to be said that Kang Zheng was really good-looking.
Although his face was a little tan, he looked very masculine.
To be honest, he seemed reliable.
Wen Lu also sized up Kang Zheng curiously. She looked at the man in front of her and seemed to be in contemplation.
“Kang Zheng, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and sit down!” Li Xiaoran waved at Kang Zheng and asked him to sit down.
Kang Zheng nodded and came to the men. Then he sat down.
“You’re Kang Zheng? My name is Wen Lu. I have a question for you. If your answer pleases me, I’ll agree to marry you!” Wen Lu introduced herself and went straight to the point.
Kang Zheng was very surprised by Wen Lu’s straightforwardness and courage, but when he thought about how she dared to seek refuge with her family alone after her parents had died, it already proved that she was a very brave person.
“Sure, ask away!” Kang Zheng said with a smile.
Wen Lu thought for a moment and said,
“If I’m the only woman you can have after we get married, I’ll go out with you to earn money to support our family. Will you accept that?”
Kang Zheng didn’t expect Wen Lu to ask this. He pondered for a moment and asked, “May I ask why you want to earn money yourself? Of course, I’m not saying that I don’t agree. I just want to know the real reason you want to do this!”
Wen Lu admired Kang Zheng’s frankness and didn’t hide anything. “I feel that only when I earn money myself and can support myself will I feel at ease!” When Kang Zheng heard this, he immediately understood.
“No problem! I can accept it. Of course, if you marry me, I’ll bear the family’s expenses. I’m a man. It’s only right for me to support my wife and child. As for the money you earn, just keep it. You can use it however you want. You can do whatever you want with it. After all, this money is your own dowry. I have no right to touch it!”
After saying this, Kang Zheng suddenly laughed.
“Previously, I was very envious of Brother Luo for marrying such a capable person like Xiaoran. I didn’t expect to meet a capable wife like you now!”
Wen Lu blushed when she heard Kang Zheng’s words.
“I haven’t agreed to marry you yet. Don’t call me that!”
“Are you satisfied with my answer?” Kang Zheng immediately became nervous. He stared at Wen Lu while waiting to hear her answer.
Wen Lu recalled what Kang Zheng had said and nodded.
“I agree to this marriage!”
As soon as she said this, Qin Cui and Li Xiaoran smiled.
“It seems that you’re a lucky man, Kang Zheng! Actually, marriage depends on chemistry! Then, shall we choose a good day to get married?” Li Xiaoran acted as Kang Zheng’s family and said.
“There’s no need to choose a date. Let’s get married today! After all, the Village Chief must have told you about my situation! Tomorrow, we’ll go to the government office to get the marriage certificate. We don’t need those formalities. It’s fine as long as there’s a marriage contract!” Wen Lu said.
When Qin Cui heard Wen Lu’s words, she immediately disagreed.
“Silly girl, how can there be no marriage ceremony? Others will laugh at you!” Wen Lu laughed when she heard Qin Cui’s words.
“Aunt, I know you’re doing this for my own good! But I really don’t care! Even if a man who treats me well doesn’t marry me in grandeur, he will cherish me for the rest of his life. A man who doesn’t treat me well won’t cherish me even if he marries me with eight bridal sedans! I don’t want superficial formalities.. I just hope to have someone who treats me sincerely for the rest of my life!”
