Chapter 2288: Chapter 2288: A Good Match for You (34)
Ma Laiwang’s heart was hanging in midair; as soon as the wet shoes got near the stove, they started emitting white smoke, and the stench immediately spread throughout the room. Even he found it unbearable, wishing desperately he could just dig a hole and disappear into it.
"Congratulations, Brother Ma." Luo Da seemingly didn’t notice the smell and grinned at Ma Laiwang. "Are you getting married at the end of the month? Once you have a wife, you’ll have someone to take care of things."
"Exactly." Luo Er nodded, even sighing, "A household needs a woman; only with a good woman can it flourish."
Luo Da glanced at his brother for a moment. He knew there was some discontent in his heart, but he didn’t care about his sister-in-law and the family. After all, a woman’s life is tough without a man at home.
Ma Laiwang forced a smile, thinking with a mother like his, could a good woman even come his way?
Luo Da and Luo Er dropped the topic, instead urging Ma Laiwang to drink some soup.
As a grown man was soaking his feet, it was inappropriate for Luo Qiaoqiao to stay around. She retreated to her room, glancing at the wicker basket. Thinking about those worn-out cotton shoes Ma Laiwang had on, she couldn’t help but sigh. She found some cotton cloth and filler, quickly sewing a pair of cotton insoles. Since there was no embroidery, she finished quickly, and they felt quite thick.
She stood up to leave, but after considering, she put the insoles back. This wasn’t her responsibility; what if someone else found out? She’d never hear the end of it.
Outside, after drinking the bone soup and soaking his feet, Ma Laiwang felt much better. The stinky cotton shoes dried quickly, and he hurriedly put them on. He then took the foot basin outside, poured out the water, rinsed it, and then said his goodbyes.
Luo Qiaoqiao also came out: "Um, thank you for today, Uncle Ma."
Ma Laiwang was taken aback for a moment but then let it go. In terms of age, she should call him "uncle." He nodded and then left.
Luo Qiaoqiao accompanied him to the gate, watching him leave before closing the gate.
"Sis, we just called him Brother Ma, and you called him Uncle Ma. Isn’t that confusing?" Luo Xiaomao came over.
"What’s confusing?" Luo Qiaoqiao knocked on her brother’s head, "Go practice your calligraphy, even on a rest day, don’t slack off on your homework." Saying this, she turned to go back inside.
"Don’t worry." Luo Xiaoxin pulled Luo Xiaomao inside too, "But sis, I think Yang Baihe isn’t good enough for Brother Ma."
"Whether they’re a match or not is none of your business, is it?" Luo Qiaoqiao sneered.
"I think you and he would be a good match." Luo Xiaoxin blurted out another sentence.
"Stop talking nonsense or I’ll hit you." Luo Qiaoqiao lifted her hand.
"Seriously." Luo Xiaoxin quickly ran away, "I’m going to practice writing." Then he disappeared.
Luo Xiaomao also quickly ran to the neighboring room to practice calligraphy.
"This stinky kid." Luo Qiaoqiao could only let it go.
Luo Da and Luo Er exchanged glances and sighed collectively. They also felt Ma Laiwang was quite good, but it was a pity...
"Don’t follow that stinky kid’s crazy ideas." Luo Qiaoqiao glanced at Luo Da and Luo Er, "You guys don’t know because you haven’t been out. The reason Ma Laiwang is still unmarried at his age is because he has a super lazy and greedy mother. Several women who went to see the Ma Family were driven away by the stench in the house."
"That bad?" Luo Er’s eyes widened.
