Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1643 - 937: Bullying Others_3

"Dad, Mom, please just give me another half year, just half a year. I’ll definitely make sure you can hold your heads high in the village."

Mrs. Li sighed softly. "Danni, your dad and I know it’s not easy for you, and we don’t want to force you, but do you know what people in the village are saying behind our backs?

Today you drove back and brought so many things, we did have some face, but later on, who knows what kind of gossip will start up again.

A girl’s reputation is more important than anything. Your dad and I really don’t want to push you, but we also have to think about your future. No matter how capable you are, in the end you still need a home."

"Yeah, Danni, don’t be too picky either. Our family’s conditions are right here for everyone to see. If you find someone too good, they won’t value us, and we’ll feel uncomfortable in our hearts."

Li Xiaoyan hurriedly promised, "I’m not thinking about climbing some high branch. I just want to find someone I get along with. Don’t worry, I know exactly what kind of conditions I have myself."

Father Li and Mrs. Li exchanged a glance. "Danni, Wen Jie called and said her younger uncle has taken a liking to you. Your mom and I thought it over and over; that matter back then really can’t be blamed on the Liang family."

Before Li Xiaoyan could speak, Li Xiaoxian burst out angrily, "Dad, are we no good without the Liang family or what? My sister has what she should have—looks, she’s got looks; ability, she’s got ability. How could she go hang herself on just that one tree of the Liang family?"

Mrs. Li sighed again. "Er Ni’er, if your sister were the same age as you, your dad and I definitely wouldn’t be this anxious, but your sister is already twenty?five, and the New Year is almost here—she’s basically twenty?six.

In this several?mile radius around us, where are you going to find a girl who’s twenty?six and still not married? Why do you think Li Aihua dares to say those things? You, just stop stirring things up blindly."

"When did Wen Jie call?"

Li Xiaoyan frowned as she asked. No wonder the moment Li Aihua opened her mouth, her parents’ faces went dark and they hurried back to the house. She’d found it odd at the time—knowing their temper, even if they were furious, they’d still say hello to the villagers before going in. Turns out the old couple was rushing back to discuss this.

"Yesterday afternoon." Father Li took a drag on his cigarette, letting the smoke completely engulf his face. "Your mom and I also felt it wasn’t suitable at first.

But later we thought about it. The second son of the Liang family is doing better than the eldest. The old couple of the Wen Family are so narrow?minded, they’d definitely worry that if you marry over there you’d overshadow Wen Jie.

So if Wen Jie is trying to set you up with the Liang family’s second son, her parents surely don’t know. If she’s willing to go behind her parents’ backs to pair you two up, that shows she definitely won’t make things hard for you.

If it weren’t for your age, your mom and I would also feel that if you can avoid marrying into the Liang family, then don’t. But right now, ai..."

Father Li sighed and didn’t go on, but his meaning couldn’t have been clearer. Even Li Aihua was thinking about marrying her daughter off to her divorced son—if they kept dragging it out...

Mrs. Li shot Father Li a glance and quickly picked up the thread. "Danni, don’t blame us for sounding discouraging, but if we keep delaying like this, you’ll end up marrying a man on his second marriage. If he doesn’t have kids, it’s still manageable. But if he does, no matter how you act as a stepmom, you’ll never be seen as good. Danni, listen to your dad and mom, see how it goes with the Liang family’s second son, all right?"

Li Xiaoyan looked at her parents helplessly. "Dad, Mom, do you think that at this point, me wanting to find a good man is already impossible?"

Mrs. Li sighed again and again. "Danni, staying here with our family’s situation, it’s pretty much impossible. City folks are hard to marry into. Look at Yu Lian—ai, we don’t want you to end up like that. It doesn’t matter if other people laugh at you, the key thing is, your own whole life would be ruined just like that."

Yu Lian was about ten years older than Li Xiaoyan, and very beautiful. When she was young she was the village beauty of the town. With such high standards, she wasn’t willing to stay stuck in the countryside, so she went off to a big city to work, saying she’d rather stay single for life than marry anyone but a city man.

Later, she really did marry a city guy, and his family situation was quite good too. But less than three years after the marriage, the man got involved with someone else, and after that he started clamoring for a divorce.

On the day of the divorce, Yu Lian turned on the gas to kill herself. Luckily the man found her and sent her to the hospital, and in the end, though they saved her life, she was left with chronic health problems.

Now she lives at her parents’ house all year round, can’t do any heavy work. Though she still looks decent, who would be willing to marry a sickly woman who can’t bear children?

Hearing her mom compare Yu Lian with her own big sister, Li Xiaoxian was displeased. "Mom, how is my sister the same as Yu Lian?"
