Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

Chapter 1155: Engagement

"I’ll walk you home," Li Yungui followed him out."No need, second brother, I’m not that drunk, don’t worry."

He staggered home, and just as he pushed the door open, he heard the sound of vomiting. Li Yunqiang instantly sobered up, hurried toward the sound.

"This Qu Xiaoli really isn’t anything. Made such good food that I ate too much. This is so uncomfortable!"

Li Yunqiang, who had been wavered a bit, felt his heart sink again upon hearing his wife’s words.

This was the wife he had decided on back then, turns out she’s someone with no class.

He didn’t go in but instead went straight back to his room. Forget it, just like that, now he really didn’t want to see her ugly face.

Liu Cuilan returned to the room and found Li Yunqiang lying on the kang.

"Husband, husband."

She called twice with no response, quietly muttering, "Just know how to drink, drink till you’re like a dead pig, having a man is no different than not having one."

Li Yunqiang listened to her complaining, feeling even calmer, just like that, just like that.

Liu Cuilan also climbed onto the kang, lying beside Li Yunqiang, but this sleeping man didn’t react at all.

"Such a useless man."

Now, whatever Liu Cuilan said, Li Yunqiang didn’t respond to her anymore. He finally knew that in his wife’s eyes, he was just such a useless person.

Liu Cuilan heard the children’s return but didn’t go out.

Li Yunqiang once again compared her to the second sister-in-law; the difference was really too large. If it was the second sister-in-law, she would definitely get up to see the children.

Li Yunqiao also returned to the room, seeing his wife cuddling their son asleep, he went out to wash up then came back.

He lay beside his wife, thinking about Old Fourth’s situation, actually believing that part of why Old Fourth was like this was because of Han Xin, fearing he was considering divorce and searching again like himself.

Tomorrow, he’ll definitely find a chance to talk to him, but really can’t let bad things happen, it’s too bad of an influence.

The next day, Li Yungui’s family woke up early. Breakfast for this big family also took quite a bit of time.

Li Xue and Zheng Lihong helped together, it’s sorghum porridge, and pickled vegetables, pancakes. Both liquid and solid foods were available.

After breakfast, they started preparing to stew meat. The fat meat given by Old Yang made it flavorful.

Li Yungui instructed Manjiang to take the gifts later to pick up Wang Menglin and her siblings, as it was basic courtesy.

The Tao Family was ready too, the three siblings didn’t go to work after breakfast; they had already asked the Captain for leave yesterday.

Tao Chunhe looked at his cousin, still that way, really not a hint of a girl’s shyness.

"Meng Lin, are you sure you won’t regret it?"

"Cousin, why should I regret it? It’s my own choice."

Tao Chunhe was really speechless, thinking how this was the first time he saw a girl marrying not for a man, but for her mother-in-law.

"Cousin, let’s change clothes, it’s your big day," Tao YanZhen pulled her cousin into the room.

At this time, there was a knock on the door. Tao Chunhe glanced at the time, thinking Li Manjiang came quite early.

But upon opening the door, seeing Yan Shuping outside, he frowned, "Yan Zhiqing, anything?"

"Mr. Tao, I just went to work, heard that today is Wang Zhiqing and Mr. Li from the village head’s house are getting engaged?"

Just after asking, Pan Xiaoying also ran over.

Tao Chunhe nodded, "Yes, they’re getting engaged today, as big celebrations aren’t practiced now, it’s just both families having a meal."

"How could it be?" Pan Xiaoying unconsciously asked.

Tao Chunhe looked at the two female Zhiching who seemed struck, he internally sneered, ’Were they hit hard?’

"Why not?"

"Isn’t Mr. Li just back? How could he be engaged already?"

These two had been looking for ways to get close to Li Manjiang but he’d never worked with them, and they couldn’t see him usually.

Pan Xiaoying was even planning to visit the village head’s house today, at least getting familiar first.

Unexpectedly, while at work today, she heard people talking about Li Manjiang and Wang Menglin’s engagement, how come she hadn’t heard anything?

Why was the engagement so sneaky? Is there something shameful? Otherwise, how could Li Manjiang be engaged a few days after returning?

Tao Chunhe’s smile faded, "How is it your business?"

The question made both faces flash with alternating pale and blush.

They hadn’t had the chance to meet Li Manjiang, but without acting, someone had already beaten them to it.

Both were quite unwilling, being Zhiching too, why could Wang Menglin?

At this time, Li Manjiang arrived carrying two pounds of meat, six pounds of pastries, and two pounds of brown sugar.

The two looked at the tall man approaching, filled with regret and irritation; how had the newcomer gotten ahead?

Really unwilling. This man’s conditions were the best in Li Family Village. How did they not seize the chance?

"Mr. Tao, I’m here to invite you to my house."

Tao Chunhe smiled, then looked at Yan Shuping and Pan Xiaoying, "Do you two have any business?"

Yan Shuping was really mad; she knew Tao Chunhe was younger than her and didn’t think much of her, so she didn’t care about her impression in his eyes. Didn’t respond to him.

Directly asked Li Manjiang, "Mr. Li, are you really getting engaged?"

The way she spoke, it was as if Li Manjiang was a heartless man.

Li Manjiang frowned, moved a step away from her.

"Miss, don’t we not know each other?"

This further drained the blood from Yan Shuping’s face.

She truly had no chance now; why didn’t he give her time? Though she wasn’t as pretty or well-off as Wang Menglin, she was cheerful, with better popularity!

Tao YanZhen and Wang Menglin walked out, unaware of what had happened. But Wang Menglin roughly guessed. These two must’ve heard about her engagement and come asking?

If not for seeing their gaze towards Li Manjiang, she wouldn’t have called her family the next day yet.

Li Manjiang saw Wang Menglin coming out, immediately stepped into the yard, like avoiding something.

He knew Wang Menglin was particularly sensitive about relationships; he didn’t want to ruin the good day arguing.

Plus, he truly didn’t know these two female comrades. If Wang Menglin got angry, he’d be too unjustly treated.

So simply kept his distance, stood beside his wife, and felt much safer, didn’t he?

Tao YanZhen smiled and took the items Li Manjiang brought directly to the kitchen.
