Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1139: Chapter 1139: Li Family

Chengzi immediately understood that she was excited because she found out he was the bodyguard of her sister-in-law.

Her sister-in-law is a heroine in the hearts of all the women here.

"Very good, you should protect Minister Su with all your heart."

Chengzi nodded, "I have been doing that."

Mr. Li took over the conversation, "You’re already twenty-nine. The age difference with Xiao Yu is quite significant."

Chengzi smiled slightly. "I cannot solve the issue of age. Perhaps this is fate with Mr. Li, we are extremely busy due to work.

This time, our minister saw that we’re older, and didn’t want to delay us, so our leader organized this gathering.

If it was organized before, we might not have had time to participate."

"You have too many responsibilities. Your work is also dangerous, really not a good candidate for marriage."

Mr. Li stopped speaking here. Chengzi waited calmly, knowing there was more to be said.

Mr. Li was satisfied with Chengzi’s demeanor.

"However, your work is honorable. If you want our approval, it’s not impossible, we just need your guarantee."

Chengzi stood up, earnestly looking at Mr. Li, waiting for their terms.

"You have too many duties, and Xiao Yu, being pampered by us, we hope you can always indulge her."

Chengzi nodded firmly, "That’s certain, my sister-in-law already told us yesterday, and moreover, I never considered settling down previously. Now that I’ve decided, I will definitely cherish it deeply."

The Li Family was quite satisfied with Chengzi’s response.

Mr. Li nodded, "Good, as long as you say it, we will believe you."

Chengzi nodded again, "Yes. Anything I’ve said, is genuinely what I think."

"Also, you’re an orphan; what will you do in the future?"

Chengzi paused. "I don’t know which aspect you’re referring to with ’what to do.’

Let me explain based on my understanding.

My sister-in-law has already prepared a house for me. It’s about the same size as yours. Additionally, in my position, I am eligible for a dormitory. It’s a regular one with three rooms, albeit might not suit ordinary people, as security is very strict.

I prefer staying in the dormitory due to my career. The leader might have unplanned outings, which I must immediately follow.

Regarding family matters, if we indeed come together in the future, we’ll definitely need your family’s help. There’s no other way, my brothers are in this profession too, we’ll take care of each other, but it’s definitely not as good as family care.

I wonder if Uncle Li has anything else to ask?"

Mr. Li nodded, and the Li Family realized that Chengzi’s standing in their superior’s mind was high, since a house was already prepared for him.

Mrs. Li spoke, "So, in the future, you’ll be very busy with your work?"

Chengzi nodded honestly, "Yes. My job is to constantly protect the leader."

"Then your wife and child won’t have you around to take care of them in the future?"

Chengzi nodded, "Yes, living with me will be quite tough. They can’t rely on me much."

Mrs. Li nodded. She didn’t want this outcome, but everyone in the family, especially their young woman, willingly chose this.

They don’t realize how hard it is for a woman to live alone raising a child.

Yet, their young woman chose this. Even if they wanted to stop it, they couldn’t.

"I understand your work is dangerous, tough, and noble, but since you’re starting a family, you have to find ways to also take care of it.

A woman’s life is not easy."

Chengzi nodded, "I understand this reasoning, I hope to live in the dormitory, so if there’s something, even if I’m not present, someone can help."

Mrs. Li shook her head, "Living there is unrealistic, after all Xiao Yu needs to work."

Chengzi couldn’t do anything about it. He thought about this issue many times, even considered stepping down.

My sister-in-law already found a way out for me, but I didn’t want to leave.

Although my sister-in-law resolves issues by herself each time, I still wish to fulfill my duty.

The Li Family noticed Chengzi’s troubled expression, knowing indeed it was difficult for him.

But Mrs. Li wanted their young woman to have a good life, only women understand the real struggles of a woman.

Chengzi looked firmly at the Li Family, "I won’t leave our leader and my sister-in-law. My life was saved by them. Protecting my sister-in-law is my gratitude for their kindness."

Chengzi had expressed his position clearly, and won’t change his decision for anything.

The men in the Li Family were quite satisfied with him. Such a man was reliable.

Mrs. Li was still uneasy. Li Xiaoyu held her mother’s hand, smiled, and nodded.

Seeing their young woman like this, Mrs. Li couldn’t do anything. If she chose this, what could they say?

Chengzi thought he had no hope left, helplessly knowing the Li Family was well-off, it’s normal if they didn’t accept an orphan like himself.

Mr. Li coughed slightly. "We have no objections, Xiao Yu is willing. But you must treat Xiao Yu well, don’t let down a girl’s trust in you."

Chengzi stood up, slightly emotional, "Thank you. I will certainly do my best for Xiao Yu."

The Li Family all nodded, the three women went to prepare the meal. After all, they needed to make him stay for a meal, as the new son-in-law’s first meal at their home was important.

The men sat in the living room chatting, Li Xiaoyu was eager to hear more about Minister Su. Not one to keep things to herself, she asked openly.

"My leader and sister-in-law will come to propose; you will definitely meet them."

"Really?"

"Yes, possibly at night, it’s uncertain now, mainly depends on sister-in-law’s timing."

Li Xiaoyu’s face was full of smiles, she was very eager to meet her idol, her hero.

The Li Family heard that both leaders will come, also feeling very excited.

"Chengzi, what time is it set for? We also want to prepare in advance," Mr. Li asked.

"I can’t be certain, I think it’s likely within these few days." Given the current situation, the leader wouldn’t want sister-in-law to come out. Plus, it’s already this late; he would definitely want to resolve it quickly.

"Alright, can we know a day beforehand?"

"Should be possible, once I get the news, I will inform you, no need to prepare meals, they won’t eat outside."

The Li Family understood it was for their rest and safety.

"Do you need a report for your marriage?"

Chengzi nodded, "Yes, there’s a report. Once it’s set, let Xiao Yu go to the unit to sign and stamp, it’s convenient for me." The timing would be coordinated with sister-in-law. Everything here is perfectly fine.
