Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

Li Yunqiang sighed inwardly; he didn’t want things to be this way, but living the rest of his life alone was simply impossible.

From the second brother, he could already see that expecting them to take care of him in old age was out of the question.

The next day, he told his second brother about having registered the marriage.

”You’re nearly old enough to be a grandfather. I won’t say much; just make your own decisions.”

”Hmm, got it.”

”She’s still a young girl; you really have to treat her well. By the way, do you have enough money?”

”It’s enough, don’t worry.”

Li Yunqiang’s remarriage stirred a wave in the village; everyone knew he had married a young educated youth.

”Well done, Yunqiang. You’ve managed to marry a young girl.”

Li Yunqiang simply smiled. What else could he say? His wife was his own, and he was quick to defend her, never speaking a bad word.

”Yunqiang, we’re just waiting for the wedding celebration.”

”Sure, I’ll definitely invite you for drinks.”

He had already made plans for half a pig, which was still manageable.

He gathered a few people to tidy up his home, cleaning inside and out, repainting the house.

Xiao Li arranged for two new sets of bedding. Although Li Yunqiang was getting remarried, she was having her first marriage. It couldn’t be too different, so the window flowers, and the festive characters were all perfectly arranged.

During this time, Li Yunqiang even went to the city to buy a lady’s watch for Yue Lanfeng.

This really balanced the hearts of Zheng Jixian and his wife.

”It seems this Li Yunqiang is alright.”

”He has a good character. I only worried that, as a mid-life couple, he might treat Lanfeng poorly. But now, it seems fine.”

”Hmm, we’ll see how it goes later. Actually, Lanfeng is such a child that she wouldn’t be too bad wherever she went; she isn’t malicious.

I’m just worried she might struggle to get along with Li Yunqiang’s four sons.”

”That’s her own choice; we’ll observe later. If we hear any commotion, we shall check in.”

After all, we are her family, and should stand up for our girl.

Li Yunqiao also knew his younger brother was getting married, and to an educated youth no less. But he didn’t say much; he just gave Li Yunqiang a hundred yuan.

”Big brother, I have money.”

”Take it, you don’t have much anyway. You should live a good life.”

Li Yunqiang nodded; both brothers advised him to live a good life. It’s as if he wasn’t reliable before.

Indeed, in the eyes of the Li family’s two brothers, Li Yunqiang really wasn’t reliable; if he liked you, he’d hold you dearly, but if not, he’d divorce straight away.

He’s already got four sons, is it that easy to just divorce? They’ve lived together for nearly twenty years.

On the day before the wedding, Li Yunqiao’s family was brought over by Guodong.

”Old Fourth, Xiang Dong and the others aren’t coming back?”

”I went to the factory to find him, but he’s not there; he’s out on business. Second brother said it has nothing to do with him, he has to work.”

”Shuzhi really can’t make it back.” Li Yungui sighed.

”It doesn’t matter; having him more or less doesn’t affect anything.” Li Yunqiang knew the result earlier, so he wasn’t too upset.

Li Yungui sighed again, ”Alright, as long as it doesn’t upset you. But we must deal with Xiang Dong’s matter quickly.”

”Second brother, I’ve given Xiang Dong everything I should. When he left initially, I gave money for him to buy a house and settle down in the city.”

”What you did wasn’t good.”

”Second brother, actually there’s nothing wrong with it.”

Today, Xiao Li was with a group of women stewing meat. They had fish, although not as much as during Xue’er’s wedding, but that’s how it had to be.

”Xiao Li, your two sisters-in-law, one is younger than the other. When will you exchange one for your Yungui?”

”Haha. My husband says he doesn’t have that capability.”

Everyone roared with laughter. Indeed, the sisters-in-law were quite young; only Xiao Li and Li Laosan’s wives were original pairs.

”Xiao Li, have you met Liu Cuilan?”

”No, I haven’t seen her even once. Have you seen her?”

”Of course, you couldn’t even recognize her now, the way she’s dressed now.

After getting married in the county, the last time I saw her, she pretended not to recognize me.”

”Isn’t that the usual way? What’s the point of engaging with you?”

Actually, everyone was pondering about Li Yunqiang’s wife. Is she a naïve girl, wanting to become a stepmother? With four sons?

”When is the new bride arriving?”

”I guess she’ll be here soon. Four tractors have already been sent.”

”This wedding procession is quite grand. During my Daqiang’s wedding, I’ll also use four tractors.”

”That’s great.”

At this time, all the big dishes were already prepared, and the greens were chopped. The hard-to-stew beans, potatoes, and eggplants were already in the pot.

”Listen, that’s the sound of tractors. The new bride is here. I want to go and see.”

Xiao Li glanced at Da Guo’s wife, ”There’ll be more opportunities for you to see later, hurry up and work.”

”You ruthless worker.” After saying this, everyone laughed.

The women sped up their handiwork; it would be time to eat soon.

Li Yunqiang was all smiles, having fetched his bride with grandeur.

The Zheng Family Village had quite a crowd; Zheng Jixian’s family was quite large.

Though everyone was surprised why a young girl wanted to marry a divorced man, walls have ears, and they somewhat knew Lanfeng was dating an educated youth.

That educated youth was taken away, of course, everyone’s minds were wandering.

Firecrackers went off for a long time; Li Yunqiang truly arranged it as a first marriage, doing this for Yue Lanfeng’s sake.

The ceremony was properly conducted, not missing a beat, although devoid of parents; they bowed in the direction of the graves.

The Zheng Family had no complaints.

The Li Family Village saw a beautiful young girl and marveled at Li Yunqiang’s great fortune. Liu Cuilan’s appearance was already good, this wife was nothing less.

Li Yunqiang introduced Yue Lanfeng to his eldest brother’s family and second brother’s family.

All the juniors awkwardly called Yue Lanfeng fourth aunt; the age gap wasn’t much.

Wang Menglin looked at this new fourth aunt; her mother-in-law had previously mentioned pairing her with Manjiang, but the two hadn’t even met while she was dating someone.

She was indeed quite beautiful and tall.

With the ceremony done, it was time for the banquet, the guests from Zheng Family Village were well catered to.

The Zheng family’s girls visited Li Family Village in admiration; now, half of the village’s homes were brick and tile houses, and everyone seemed lively and vibrant.

Moreover, their banquet was indeed splendid, with plenty of meat. The dishes were oily, there were fried meatballs; everything seemed perfect. When searching for a husband’s family, they would seek out the Li Family Village; it was like falling into a blessing nest.
