Chapter 43: Intentional
“My daughter is so smart.” Song Hanmei thought it was a good plan.
If she arranged for another man to be with Sisi, people would suspect her.
But if she arranged for Qin Yanci, people would only say that Sisi was unchaste.
Li Yuwei smiled proudly, “Of course.” Dealing with Sisi was a piece of cake.
The mother and daughter discussed the details for a while before going to the living room.
Li Junlu was standing by the door, scolding Sisi. “You white-eyed wolf, you unfilial daughter! I feed you, I clothe you, and I find a good husband for you, but you go against me…”
Sisi's heart ached.
Which father doesn't feed and clothe their children?
Which father doesn't help their children choose a husband?
How come, when it came to her, it was like she owed him something?
She took out her notebook and flipped to her expense records.
Three months, less than fifteen yuan spent.
Plus eight yuan for the train ticket when she came here.
In nineteen years of growing up, he had only spent about twenty yuan on her.
And because she talked back a few times, she became a white-eyed wolf in his eyes.
“Think about it carefully. When you come to your senses, I'll let you out.” Li Junlu locked the door again.
Sisi sat there for a long time, dazed. When her mood improved, she took out the leftover fabric and cotton from when she made the cotton coat and drew a pattern for shoes. She worked late into the night to make a pair of shoes.
She put them on with her wide-leg pants, showing only a small bit of the shoe tip.
She thought it looked pretty good.
She was about to rest when she heard Li Junlu's voice outside. “Li Sisi! It's so late. Why aren't you asleep yet? Electricity doesn't cost money, does it?”
Sisi reached out and turned off the light.
She was a guest in this house, and she didn't even have the right to turn on the lights for a little longer.
Sigh!
When she got rich, she would definitely buy a house of her own.
With that thought in mind, Sisi closed her eyes and fell asleep. When she woke up the next day, she heard a familiar voice and realized that Qin Yanci's parents had come.
“Our Sisi hasn't woken up yet. She's spoiled by me. She loves to sleep in. Yuwei, go call her.” Song Hanmei greeted them with a smile, secretly winking at Li Yuwei.
Li Yuwei understood. She opened the door.
She deliberately pushed it open all the way, trying to let Qin Yanci's parents see Sisi's messy bed and unkempt appearance as soon as they entered the room.
Fortunately, Sisi was quick. She got dressed in three seconds, tidied her bed, and simply tied up her hair.
She went out just in time to greet Qin Yanci's parents. “Dad, Mom, you're here.” She didn't see Qin Yanci, and she felt a little disappointed.
Qin Yanci's parents smiled kindly.
“Ah, you just woke up.”
Sisi admitted generously, “Yes. I stayed up late last night doing needlework. I was very sleepy and slept in a bit.” She washed her hands and poured tea for them.
Mother Qin looked at her with a smile. This girl was quick-witted. She said, “We're here to talk to you and your father and aunt about the wedding and the welcome ceremony.”
Sisi nodded. “Go ahead and talk.” She went to the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth, keeping her ears perked up to listen to the conversation outside.
It was about how they planned to hold the wedding at a restaurant in the city. They would invite both sides of their families and friends to eat at the restaurant.
Li Junlu naturally agreed.
Holding it at a restaurant was not only grand but would also allow him to meet people he wanted to meet but couldn't.
Li Yuwei was heartbroken when she heard this. In her past life, her parents had suggested to Qin Yanci's parents that they hold the wedding at a restaurant, but Qin's parents said that Qin Yanci was emotionally unstable and couldn't go to crowded places. They held a simple ceremony at their courtyard house, with only three tables.
They only invited family members.
This time around, it was Sisi's turn, and why were they holding a grand wedding at a hotel? What made her better than Sisi?
She chimed in, “Wouldn't it be more lively to hold it at home?”
