Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside
Chapter 1467 - 1469: I Won’t Become a Spinster
At the moment, Li Chuntao is trying to find things to do in order to forget Yang Dong.
She engages in playing musical instruments, chess, calligraphy, and painting every day, using these activities to pass the time, but none of them can pique her interest right now.
After much thought, she realized that needlework can still interest her, so she decided to try it again after learning at Xiaoxiao’s workshop all morning.
She was studying it in the room when she saw her mother coming in.
Since she returned home in the past two days, her mother has been busy, either preparing delicious food for her or coming over to try to console her.
The reasons her mother gives are all understood by her, but she still needs some time. How could Yang Dong be someone she could forget just because she wanted to?
If she could forget him, she wouldn’t be so upset now.
But what she couldn’t foresee was that one day in the future, she truly would forget.
"Darling, I have to advise you again. Since Yang Dong is already engaged, you just shouldn’t think about it. We can’t hang ourselves on just one tree. You are still young and the people you know are few. When you get to know other men, you might forget Yang Dong completely."
As soon as Chuntao’s mother entered the room, she repeated the same words. Li Chuntao felt like her ears were going to have calluses from hearing it. Of course, she couldn’t think about marrying Yang Dong, but she couldn’t help thinking about him; she couldn’t control herself.
To stop her mother from worrying, she always replied, "Mother, don’t worry, I won’t think about it."
But it is the mother who understands her daughter best, and Chuntao’s mother saw that her daughter was indeed still thinking about it; otherwise, she wouldn’t be so unhappy all the time. So she tirelessly tried to console her daughter, just hoping she would move on soon.
"Darling, I’m telling you the truth. If you meet other men, you will forget Yang Dong. Everyone outside is talking about your marriage, and I believe that in a few days, a matchmaker will come knocking. By then, we can take our time choosing. If it really doesn’t work out, we can get a matchmaker to find you someone better than Yang Dong. Darling, let’s not talk about that Yang Dong boy. Without him, what kind of person do you like? Tell me, then I can let the matchmaker find one for you."
Chuntao’s mother is going all in now. When her daughter had no offers before, she hadn’t considered finding a matchmaker themselves, as she still cared about face and thought it was preferable for the man’s family to propose.
Her elder daughter and her younger daughter have similar conditions, and someone came to propose to her elder daughter, and now she’s happily married. Her younger daughter is no less and it is impossible she won’t get married, it’s just a matter of time.
But the situation is different now. If her younger daughter continues to be sad and doesn’t want to get married, it will be a disaster. Her daughter will be left single, and that’s unacceptable.
Although she’s not urgently trying to marry off her daughter, she can’t let her be left behind.
So the face doesn’t matter anymore. If the matchmakers come but prove unsuccessful, even finding a live-in son-in-law would be fine.
Listening to her mother’s words, Li Chuntao’s lips twitched slightly. Her mother is really like her few brothers, always bringing up the wrong thing, and now asking her what kind she would like.
"Mom, I’m not in such a hurry to find someone. If a matchmaker really comes to the door, just help me send them away. Don’t worry, I won’t bring shame to our family, and I will definitely be able to get married in the future."
