Dressed as a little fool: marry and have children

Chapter 301 Liu Xiuxiu's encounter is successful

He Daqing was sitting in the living room holding Chang'an, his brows furrowed, with a trace of worry on his face. He looked up at He Yuzhu who had just walked in, took a deep breath, and spoke slowly:

"Ah, Yuzhu, it was Third Aunt who came to our house this afternoon. She said that people in the yard started to inquire about Liu Xiuxiu's affairs, and she helped to change the subject, saying that Liu Xiuxiu went back to her parents' home. I think we need to make plans for this matter sooner."

When He Yuzhu heard Liu Xiuxiu's name, an unnatural look flashed across his face. He was stunned for a moment, then reacted and asked in confusion, "Does Auntie know about my divorce?"

He Daqing shook his head and said seriously, "No, Auntie just thought there must be something going on, but she didn't know that you and Liu Xiuxiu had divorced."

He Yuzhu heard this and thought it was not a big deal. He looked back at his father, then lowered his head and sniffed the sweat on his body. He frowned slightly and smiled a little embarrassedly:

"Dad, don't worry. I'm afraid that I'll disturb Chang'an by smelling of sweat. I'll go take a shower and change clothes, and I'll come out and talk to you later." After saying that, he turned and walked towards his room.

He Yuzhu quickly washed up, changed into clean clothes, and looked much more energetic. He walked out of the room and saw He Daqing had already put the food on the table, holding his little grandson Chang'an and feeding him patiently.

"Dad, let me feed him." He Yuzhu walked to the table, took Chang'an from He Daqing's arms, and sat on the stool.

He picked up the small spoon on the table, scooped up a spoonful of rice, blew it gently to cool it, and then fed it to Chang'an's mouth. Chang'an opened his little mouth and ate the rice obediently, with a satisfied smile on his face.

While feeding Chang'an, He Yuzhu looked up at He Daqing and asked, "Director Yang was arrested today, and this matter will probably have a result tomorrow.

When the time comes, Dad, take Changan out for a walk. If anyone asks about Liu Xiuxiu, just tell them that we are divorced."

When He Daqing heard this, his eyes lit up and a hint of joy appeared on his face. He nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. This way, we can start looking for new partners for you."

He Yuzhu felt mixed emotions after hearing his father's words. He knew his father was thinking about him, but he himself had not yet completely come out of the shadow of divorce. He nodded slightly and said nothing more.

Feeling the strength in his hands, he saw Chang'an looking at the food on the table, then he laughed, and without thinking too much, he continued to feed Chang'an with his head down.

......

Liu Xiuxiu carried her luggage and walked out of her stepmother's house tiredly. Her face was full of dissatisfaction with the past and confusion about the future.

She rented a simple house near the street. The room was small and old, and she shared a public toilet with her neighbors. Every time she went to the toilet, she had to endure the crowds and noise, and she couldn't help frowning with disgust.

She sat in the rented house, looking out the window at the busy streets, feeling lonely and helpless. She didn't know He Yuzhu had been released, and since her divorce, she had started dating again.

However, because of her divorced status, the matchmaker only introduced her to men who were remarried or widowed, which made her feel helpless and frustrated.

Just then, she heard a knock on the door. She tidied her clothes, got up and opened the door. She saw Lin the matchmaker walk into the room and excitedly told her that her blind date with the deputy director of the supply and marketing cooperative had been successful. The other party had a good impression of her and wanted to develop the relationship further.

After hearing this, Liu Xiuxiu felt mixed emotions. She knew that the deputy director of the supply and marketing cooperative had a five-year-old daughter, and he was nearly ten years older than she was. These conditions made her hesitant and uneasy.

She tilted her head and looked at herself in the mirror. The face that was once full of smiles now looked a little haggard and tired. She couldn't help but think of the past with He Yuzhu. Those good times seemed to be just yesterday.

Liu Xiuxiu closed her eyes tightly and took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner turmoil. Her brows were furrowed and her fingers were rubbing unconsciously, showing her inner entanglement and anxiety.

She slowly opened her eyes, with a hint of determination in them. She knew that she needed to make a decision, a decision that would affect her future.

Marrying the deputy director of the supply and marketing cooperative might bring her a stable family and life, but the five-year-old daughter and the age gap are her concerns.

She recalled every little bit of her experience with He Yuzhu, and an inexplicable emotion welled up in her heart. Except for the slightly better material benefits provided by the deputy director of the supply and marketing cooperative, the other conditions were really similar to those of He Yuzhu, and in many ways, He Yuzhu was even better.

However, now that she has lost He Yuzhu, the deputy director of the supply and marketing cooperative may be the best option she has available.

Liu Xiuxiu sighed softly. She knew she couldn't keep hesitating like this. She decided to marry the deputy director of the supply and marketing cooperative directly, but she would ask for more gifts as a guarantee for her future life.

Liu Xiuxiu sat at the table, in front of her was the enthusiastic matchmaker Lin. She smiled, but there was a hint of hesitation in her eyes. She took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, and then slowly spoke:

"Aunt Lin, I have a very good impression of Director Wang. He is a very down-to-earth person. However, he has a five-year-old daughter at home. I have considered it and decided not to hold a wedding, but this betrothal gift..."

Matchmaker Lin was a smart person. When she heard Liu Xiuxiu's words, she immediately understood what she meant. She thought of what Deputy Director Wang had specifically told her before coming here, so she stretched out a finger and shook it gently.

Liu Xiuxiu felt a little uneasy when she saw the raised finger. She asked tentatively, "Auntie Lin, are you saying the betrothal gift is 100 yuan?"

Matchmaker Lin smiled and nodded, with a hint of pride in her tone: "Xiu Xiu, Auntie Lin will not hide it from you. It is rare to be able to give a betrothal gift of 100 yuan for this marriage. Director Wang's family gave a lot. You have to think carefully. If you miss this opportunity, you will never have it again."

Liu Xiuxiu was moved when she heard this. Although one hundred yuan was not a big sum for her current life, it was indeed a considerable fortune.

She thought for a moment, then nodded and said to Matchmaker Lin: "Aunt Lin, I've decided. I am willing to marry Director Wang."

After saying this, she nodded slightly, with a look of relief and determination on her face. Seeing this, Matchmaker Lin also smiled with satisfaction, knowing that her mission was accomplished and her thank-you gift was secure.
