Chapter 172 A man must stand up on his own

Chen Yongwei did not respond. In his heart, he still felt that girls like Amei, with an oval face, who spoke softly and was quiet, were good.

Grandma Chen thought that since Lai's Amei came to help the two sisters get together, it must be because Wang's Aju had a good impression of Awei and that's why she came.

They didn't mention this before, probably because they thought their family was poor and Wang Zhenghai and his wife loved their children. Now that they knew their family had started building a new house, a brick and tile building, they asked Lai Amei to make the deal.

"Ah Wei, grandma thinks you can go with A Ju to see everything. We are from the same village, so we know each other well and understand each other's temperament. It's better than finding someone from another village who knows everything."

"No, the chattering is annoying."

"You have a dull personality, so you need to find someone who loves to talk, so that your home will be lively."

"No, it's so noisy and annoying."

"You don't understand!" Grandma Chen advised earnestly, "Grandma is telling you, girls with loud voices are simple-minded, and they will make a scene if they are unhappy.

People like you who are silent are annoying. You just sulk when something happens, and you don’t respond even after I ask you for a long time. I have to spend a lot of time coaxing you to talk.”

"..." Chen Yongwei felt that grandma was really something, even belittling her own grandson for the sake of his grandson's wife. Girls are better off being quiet, if they are noisy, they will become talkative women in the future.

Grandma Chen waited for a while, and seeing that he still didn't respond, she said, "Look at the couple, Nan and Le. Nan is quiet and gentle, while Le is lively. This is called complementarity. They were matched by the matchmaker."

"You don't say a word at home, so I can't find anyone to talk to. If you bring someone who likes to joke back home, it will be lively and I will like that."

"I told Ah Mei that I don't like her, and she may have told Wang Meiju. That damn girl must be scolding me right now!" Chen Yongwei touched his ear, "Of course, when I was a kid, whenever she scolded me, my ears would itch."

"Haha!" Grandma Chen looked at her grandson and thought that this was good. At least it was not like before, when she couldn't even speak directly and her face turned red like a cooked shrimp whenever she mentioned Lai Amei.

"It's nothing. If you want, grandma can ask your aunt to go to the Wang family and talk to her. If she really doesn't like it, forget it. It won't be good if people from the same village fall out."

Seeing that Grandma was happy, Chen Yongwei was silent for more than ten seconds and then said, "I'll discuss it with Brother Ale and see what he says."

"Okay, tell Ale."

"What do you want to tell me?" Li Changle asked, putting his arm around Chen Yongwei's shoulders.

Chen Yongwei blushed, scratched his head and said, "I'll tell you later."

Accountant Chen looked at the grandparents with a big smile on his face. "Aunt, the new house will be built soon. If you need our help, just let us know."

"It's nothing else. I just want to trouble you to help find a few laborers. Also, Awei and his friends want to demolish the dilapidated house at the foot of the mountain..." Grandma Chen took Accountant Chen's hand, and the two of them walked and talked.

"What's wrong?" Li Changle looked at Chen Yongwei with a sidelong glance, "You look so bitter. Didn't they agree to date you?"

"Yeah!" Chen Yongwei repeated Lai Amei's words to Li Changle, "Brother, why is she so weird? She clearly knew that I liked her, but she introduced me to Wang Meiju."

Li Changle didn't expect that it was completely different from what he thought, "What's so strange about this? You are now a shareholder of a small boat, and now you have approved a new foundation.

The two sisters are talking to each other from the bottom of their hearts. They think you are a potential stock. Rather than marrying someone from another village who has no background, it is better to marry you. You know your background very well, and you don’t have to worry about being bullied. "

Chen Yongwei curled his lips, "She is more like bullying others." Xiang Xiang asked again, "Brother, what is a potential stock?"

Li Changle thought for a moment and said, "I just think you are quite capable and can make more money in the future, so that she can live a good life."

"Oh!" Chen Yongwei slumped his shoulders and repeated what Grandma Chen said, "My grandma said Wang Meiju is pretty good. I like girls like Amei. What do you think I should do?"

Li Changle didn't have much impression of Wang Zhenghai's family. She only knew that his two sons lived a good life. The fact that they were from the same village and had no reputation proved that they were nice people and easy to get along with.

"What your grandma said makes sense. You are a taciturn person yourself. If you marry someone who is also taciturn, then you will become taciturn people together.

Besides, every day we either go fishing at the beach or sail on the water. Apart from sharing the same bed at night, you and your future wife spend less time together during the day than your grandma does.

If you don't hate Wang Meiju, you can just go around and see each other. If you have something to talk about, you can find something to talk about, and then you can live a good life in the future."

Chen Yongwei thought what he said made sense. "I wouldn't say I hate her, but I think her face is too big and her voice is too loud."

"Why don't you look at yourself? Apart from your tall stature, your face is as big as a basin and as black as a piece of charcoal. For a dull person like you, it's a blessing for the matchmaker to be attracted to someone."

Li Changle felt that it would be a good idea to marry Wang Meiju. They were both originally married and they didn't have to help others raise their children.

Chen Yongwei looked at Li Changle, who had not gotten any darker after being in the sun for so long, and then looked at his own shiny black arms, and quickly put them behind his back, "Brother, I'll think about it again."

"It's a matter of a lifetime, you should think about it carefully!" Li Changle patted him on the shoulder and walked into the yard.

The yard was filled with the aroma of salty pork and glutinous rice, as well as the smell of stewed bean noodles with sand stalks. My stomach started to growl. As soon as I reached my parents' door, I heard Uncle Li yelling at Li Changshui, "You useless thing, I've taught you everything. Your second uncle and I have also been here to be a nuisance. If you can't take care of your own family,
You are just like your father, and you have a spendthrift like your mother. You will definitely be on the list of bachelors in the village in the future."

"After all, he is only a young man of seventeen or eighteen, and Xu Xianmei is his biological mother. It's difficult for him, so just stop talking about him."

Accountant Chen advised, "Ah Shui, your uncle is right. A man has to stand on his own feet before he can be worthy of his own family."

"Uncle San, Ah Shui, Xiao Fang."

Li Changle walked into the room and saw Li Changshui, who was dark and thin like a refugee, sitting there with a bitter look on his face. Li Yufang sat next to him with her head down.

He greeted everyone with a smile and took out cigarettes and handed them to Uncle Li and a few others.

Li Guiming happily took the cigarette he handed over and patted him hard a few times, "Good boy, you get a lot of cargo every now and then, and the good reputation of sea transportation has spread to other villages."

"Uncle San, don't listen to those nonsense. It was just a coincidence."

Li Changle grinned and shrank his painful shoulder, then turned to look at Li Changshui, "Ah Shui, Uncle Zhang asked me to bring you a letter saying that your diesel engine has been repaired."

After hearing this, Father Li looked at Li Changshui and asked, "Didn't you say last time that you didn't have the money to repair the diesel engine? Where is the money coming from now?"

"She said she went back to her mother's house to borrow it." Li Changshui said in a muffled voice, not even wanting to call her mother.

Li Guiming sneered, "You said the other day that you couldn't take out a penny, how come you have money now?"

"If you don't use the money to repair the diesel engine, my father and brother won't be able to go out to sea to earn money. If they don't make money, the blood-sucking worms of the Xu family will have nowhere to suck blood."

Li Yufang looked up and said something quickly, then quickly lowered her head.

The hair on the top of the head of a girl of fifteen or sixteen is sparse, and the hair is not much more sparse than that of Qiu Qianchi, the wife of Gongsun Zhi, the master of the Unrequited Valley in The Return of the Condor Heroes.

Chen Yongwei looked at the brother and sister, then at Grandma Chen who was talking to Li's mother in the kitchen, and felt that he was much luckier than them.

"Second uncle, third uncle!" Li Changshui raised his head and looked at the two men with a determined look. "When I go back, I will tell my father that I will no longer go out to sea with him. I will take my younger sister with me to go fishing and earn money. We will keep the money we earn."

Before Father Li and Uncle Li could speak, Li Yufang excitedly pulled him and asked, "Brother, are you serious?"

"Yes! We will earn our own money and live our own lives in the future." Li Changshui looked at his uncle with determination. "I thought about it for a few days and decided that I will let my father and her take care of each other, and I will take care of my little sister."

Father Li and Uncle Li looked at his resolute gaze and nodded, "Okay, your uncle and I support you."

"Thank you, Uncle Two and Uncle Three." Li Changshui then turned to Accountant Chen and said, "Uncle Dong, please help me separate my and my sister's accounts from my father's. I will take care of any problems myself."

"Uncle Adong, if my mother dares to cause trouble for you, I will learn from her and take a rope to hang myself at my grandmother's house. She doesn't feel sorry for us, but she feels sorry for the couple in my grandmother's family." Li Yufang took over and said.

Li Changle patted Li Changshui and said, "Ah Shui, I think what Yufang said makes sense. Your mother only has eyes for the Xu family. She cut her throat and jumped into the well at the Li family, and you guys went to the Xu family to make trouble..."

"What kind of bad idea is this? Do you still want to save Ah Shui and Yu Fang's reputation?" Father Li glared at him unhappily and looked at Accountant Chen, "Don't worry, Ah Dong, we will take care of it if there is any problem. We will not make it difficult for you."

Uncle Li also nodded, "Don't worry, my dear. If Xu Xianmei wants to make trouble, let her come to us."

"I know." Accountant Chen looked at Li Changshui, "Ah Shui is eighteen years old, right?"

Li Changshui nodded, "I just turned eighteen last month!"

Accountant Chen said, "Okay, come to my house tomorrow and I'll take you to see Secretary Wang to separate your account from Yufang's."

He also felt very sympathetic towards the two children of Li Asi's family. He thought that it would be hard to find another woman like Xu Xianmei in the entire Pan Town, who had been married for decades but was still devoted to her parents' family.

"Thank you, Uncle Adong, and thank you, Uncle Second and Uncle Third, for taking care of us brothers and sisters." Li Changshui took Li Yufang and bowed to them.

Accountant Chen smiled and waved his hands, "I didn't help you with anything, you're welcome."

Uncle Li patted him on the shoulder and said, "Live a good life after the separation. If you have any problems, come to me and your second uncle."

"Got it!" The brother and sister nodded with red eyes.

Father Li thought about it and said, "Ah Ming, Xu Xianmei will definitely not share food and money with them. When the time comes, we can call the boss.

Each family can give them dozens of kilograms of grain, hundreds of kilograms of sweet potatoes, and a set of pots, pans, and other utensils, so that the brother and sister can cook for themselves. "
