    Engagement

    The next day, Chunyu’s doubts were confirmed.

    The supervisor looked at Chunyu’s leave request and was so angry that he blew his beard and glared: “A month or two? Do you think we are a charity?”

    This supervisor is the only male in her department, has a separate office, and has strict requirements for his subordinates.

    Chunyu was usually afraid of he, so she only dared to lower her head and shrink her neck: “I…I want to go back to my hometown to get married.”

    “Shouldn’t we have been ready to get married a long time ago? Will it take a month or two?”

    “Temporary…” Chunyu felt guilty when asked.

    The supervisor reacted at this time: “You are not pregnant, are you?”

    Being hit right away, Chun Yu felt ashamed and did not dare to say a word.

    “I knew he was just messing around again.”

    “No, it’s really an accident.” Chunyu felt aggrieved and explained immediately.

    The supervisor looked disbelieving and waved his hand: “Forget it, I can’t control you, just do whatever you like!”

    Then I approved the leave request.

    After Chun Yu returned, she was in a bad mood. As soon as Li Shuo came back, she hugged He and murmured for a while: “I really didn’t mean it. The supervisor must have thought I was that kind of person!”

    Li Shuo didn’t feel embarrassed, hugged Chun Yu and said with a smile, “What kind of person? Someone who goes to a related household to hang out?”

    “You!” Chunyu didn’t expect Li Shuo to be so straightforward, so she raised her eyes and stared at him.

    Li Shuo didn’t care at all, wiping the broken hair in front of Chun Yu’s forehead, and said seriously: “I’d rather resign. It’s not good to be in contact with the computer all day long if I’m pregnant.”

    “But…” Chunyu hesitated.

    “Your boss has this impression of you now. You will have to take half a year of maternity leave in the future. Isn’t he more…”

    “Ah!” Chunyu felt horrified when she thought about it, but struggled with it, “But I don’t want to stay at home full time, I will go crazy.”

    Li Shuo smiled and said, “You little fool, I didn’t ask you not to work. Wait until you give birth to the child and finish confinement before looking for a job. By then you will be a married and pregnant woman, and your chances of being admitted will be greater.”

    Chunyu thought about it and felt that it made some sense, so he went back to the company the next day to write a resignation report.

    *
    Chun Yu’s hometown is in a relatively remote county in Hebei Province. After getting off the plane, he still had to travel by bus for a long time.

    Li Shuo simply rented a car, turned on the navigation system, and groped his way back to Chunyu’s hometown.

    Before coming, Chunyu had already spoken to her mother on the phone, and also asked Li Shuo to communicate with the old man for a while.

    Chunyu’s mother, Ms. Wu Fang, is an out-and-out rural person with very traditional ideas. When she found out about Chunyu’s unmarried pregnancy, she was so angry that she cursed in dialect. When she talked to Li Shuo, her attitude did not improve.

    Even now, when Chunyu called her mother to report the location, Wu Fang’s tone was not good either.

    Chunyu’s grandma was very happy, and she was looking forward to the arrival of her grandson and grandson-in-law on the phone.

    After driving for two hours, Chunyu finally returned to her hometown, which she had not returned to for half a year. As soon as she entered the house, she hugged her grandma who was waiting at the door.

    Li Shuo got out of the car, looked at the surroundings first, then took the gift from the car and followed Chun Yu in.

    The villages in the north are fundamentally different from those in the south. The outer walls look like they are made of piled stones, and the architectural styles are completely different.

    Chunyu’s house is not considered wealthy in the village. The interior still has a cement floor, and only some rooms are decorated.

    Chunyu’s room is one of the few decorated rooms.

    Dark wood floor, wooden desk, bed and wardrobe, no other superfluous things, very neutral and ordinary bedroom.

    Li Shuo sat down on Chunyu’s bed familiarly, touched the sheets under her body, and found them to be surprisingly soft. She said with a smile, “Although our mother is angry, the new sheets have been changed for us.”

    “Our mother?” Chunyu was stunned, still unable to react.

    Li Shuo put his arms around Chun Yu’s waist, held her in front of him, intertwined their fingers, and said in a deep voice: “We are about to get married. Isn’t your mother my mother?”

    “No!” Chunyu shook Li Shuo’s hand to show that she was wrong.

    At this time, there was a knock on the door, and I heard the voice of Chunyu’s mother, Ms. Wu Fang: “Chunyu, come out and let it rain.”

    Chunyu glanced at Li Shuo and opened the door timidly.

    “Follow me!” Wu Fang gave Chun Yu a look, then turned and entered her bedroom.

    Chunyu Pidianpian followed and saw Wu Fang sitting next to the bedside table, saying in a deep voice: “Close the door.”

    “Oh!”

    Chunyu closed the door and walked over, only to see Wu Fang holding various documents and a savings card in her hand.

    Chunyu was a little surprised: “This is it?”

    “Your dowry!”

    “Ah?” Chun Yu was still a little dull.

    Ms. Wu Fang sighed helplessly: “Originally, I was a dead bank deposit, and I planned to take it out to deliver home appliances when you got engaged.”

    “But it’s too sudden now. I can only ask your uncle to borrow some and bring them over to you.”

    Hearing that her mother’s dowry money was all borrowed, Chunyu felt a little embarrassed: “Mom, we haven’t discussed the time and gift money yet!”

    “You also know!” Ms. Wu Fang sighed deeply again and said, “You follow your father and you are honest and dull. I am afraid that you will be deceived by men when you are young, so I have not allowed you to fall in love.”

    “You’re also obedient. You didn’t date anyone until college.”

    “I thought that my daughter, who had persisted for more than 20 years, would have no problems and would follow the normal steps. I didn’t expect that she suddenly gave me such a big surprise.”

    Chun Yu was said to be so embarrassed that she could only bury her head in guilt and remain silent.

    Seeing her daughter like this, Wu Fang shook her head and said helplessly: “Forget it, now that things are like this, what else can we do?”

    After saying that, he took Chun Yu’s shrunken little hand, touched Chun Yu’s still flat belly, and said sincerely: “I just hope that person can be sincerely nice to you!”

    Chunyu raised her eyes to look at her mother, blinked, and was silent for a while before nodding and saying: “Well, he will be good to me.”

    Wu Fang saw that Chun Yu was as dazed as ever, and couldn’t help but shake her head and sigh. She paused for a few seconds before saying, “Go, ask your husband to come out and discuss the banquet and gifts.”

    “Oh!” Chunyu nodded in response and walked towards his bedroom with small but fast steps.

    Five minutes later.

    Chunyu’s family of three sat around the square table in the hall with Li Shuo.

    Wu Fang took a look at the son-in-law who suddenly appeared. He looked like a talented person and behaved like a city man.

    My condition is really good, but I don’t know what my character is like.

    And similarly, Li Shuo was also looking at Wu Fang.

    After years of hard work, Wu Fang’s hair has turned white, her skin is yellowish and rough, and her clothes are rustic, but her facial features can still tell that she was a beauty when she was young.

    Li Shuo smiled and said, “I asked who inherited Chunyu’s big eyes. It turns out it’s my aunt who has good genes.”

    Although he seemed to have a good appearance, Wu Fang was not impressed by the sudden appearance of his son-in-law. He said bluntly: “Forget the polite words, I just want to ask, are you here to propose marriage?”

    “If so, why don’t you meet your parents?”

    Li Shuo calmly explained the expected question: “I’m sorry, auntie, I was in such a hurry that I didn’t explain it to you in detail.”

    “Chun Yu should have told you about my family’s general situation, right?”

    “Actually, the key thing is that I don’t know where my dad is now? A few years ago, he immigrated abroad with his new wife.”

    Wu Fang had heard from Chun Yu that Li Shuo’s mother had passed away and she had a bad relationship with her father, so she wanted to host a banquet at her place, but she didn’t expect that her father would be so heartless.

    As the saying goes, if you have a stepmother, you have a stepfather, and it seems this is true.

    This is also the reason why Wu Fang never remarried after her husband died, because she was afraid that Chun Yu would be ignored when she had a new family.

    Because they were in similar situations, Wu Fang couldn’t help but sympathize with Li Shuo, and softened her attitude a little: “Then what are you going to do about the wedding, as well as the money for the bride price and the banquet money…”

    “Since my family won’t do it, I will pay for the banquet here.”

    “As for the bride price…”
