Chapter 172 Questions
"Oh, this still needs to be tested? This Yulan is really cunning. OK, I agree. I'll go back and tell your mother to ask my eldest brother to come over in the evening."
Liu Meifeng handed her nephew another steamed bread and said.
"Okay, aunt, I'm leaving."
Liu Xiaochun was not polite. He took the steamed bread handed to him by Liu Meifeng, said something, and turned away.
Liu family.
Ma Yulan went to her eldest sister's house as soon as she got off work, and brought her two children with her as they got home from school early.
When Ma Yuhua saw her sisters coming, she didn't hesitate to ask them to go into the main room and sit down first, while she was busy preparing dinner.
Not long after Ma Yulan sat down, the eldest brother of the Liu family came in with a tall man.
The man looked at Ma Yulan and nodded at her as a greeting.
The main hall of the Liu family is not small, but since the tall man came in, Ma Yulan felt that the room became very cramped, and even breathing became a little difficult.
It's him!
Ma Yulan was secretly surprised.
Before she got married, she once went to the mountains to get some meat for her family, but she got lost. It was the man in front of her who brought her out.
She had not yet suffered the ravages of time and was still as innocent as a new sprout in spring. She thought he was just a mountain villager, so she treated him as an elder. As she followed him out, she told him all the humiliations that her family had suffered.
At that time, it was this person who advised her to do everything within her ability, not to be reckless or impulsive. It was this person who told her to live well, because only by living can there be hope, not only for herself, but also for her parents and relatives. It was also this person who taught her many ways to identify medicinal herbs, so that she could dig herbs and sell them when she was free to earn some pocket money.
Over the years, she was able to persevere because she earned some money by digging medicinal herbs.
But I didn't expect that this person was Wei Yikui, the person my elder sister wanted to introduce to me.
The eldest brother of the Liu family brought Wei Yikui into the house and said to Ma Yulan, "Little sister, this is the doctor Wei your sister introduced to you. Have a good chat with him. Call me if you need anything."
After saying that, she said to the man, "Doctor Wei, this is my cousin." Then she went out.
Ma Yulan looked at Wei Yikui quietly for a few times and found that Wei Yikui was exactly the same as when she first met him, gentle and polite. She couldn't help but sigh that time has really been kind to this man. More than ten years have passed, and he has not aged, but she has changed beyond recognition.
"Aren't you a mountain villager? How come you are Doctor Wei?" She asked Wei Yikui.
Wei Yikui smiled: "You didn't seem to ask me whether I was a mountain dweller at that time."
Ma Yulan recalled the scene at that time and laughed. At that time, she did not ask him whether he was a mountain man or not. She just took it for granted that he appeared in the deep mountains and was naturally a mountain man.
This smile brought a touch of redness to Ma Yulan's slightly old face, softening the traces of vicissitudes of life.
It was only then that Ma Yulan remembered that they were still standing. She greeted him awkwardly, "Brother Wei, let's sit down and talk."
After Wei Yikui sat down, he got straight to the point: "I heard that you have a few questions for me. What are the questions? Ask them. I will tell you the truth."
Ma Yulan said embarrassedly: "I didn't expect that the person my eldest sister introduced would be you, so I was going to ask him a few questions to test his character. Since it's you, I won't ask these questions, right?"
Wei Yikui said: "Since you have a question, just ask it. Can I pass the exam?"
As Wei Yikui spoke, he looked at Ma Yulan inconspicuously.
If he had not known in advance that the person in front of him with dull hair and a haggard face was indeed the stubborn and beautiful girl he met at the beginning, he would have doubted his eyes.
When he first met her, she was wandering around in the forest, looking for a way out. Her face was pale, her hair was messy, and there were some scratches on her face. Although she looked very embarrassed, her face was full of unyielding strength, which was very bright.
Perhaps it was the unyielding strength on her face that made his heart, which had been silent for years, beat faster. If his wife had been stronger back then, perhaps he wouldn't have had so many regrets.
However, only ten years had passed and she had aged so much that he almost couldn't recognize her.
Wei Yikui felt a little strange, but he didn't know that he and his parents had been nourished by Wei Yuchen with the space spiritual spring water for the past six months. Although they couldn't be said to be aging in reverse, they were at least much younger than their peers.
Although Ma Yulan looked haggard and old, she was only a little older than women of the same age, not as serious as he thought.
At the same time, Ma Yulan was secretly guessing about this bookish-looking man, wondering how he would answer her question when he heard it.
"Brother Wei, if I marry you, will you really treat my daughter as your own?"
Wei Yikui thought for a moment and said, "Sister, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
Ma Yulan answered without hesitation: "Of course I want to hear the truth."
Wei Yikui said, "If you want to hear the truth, I will tell you the truth. I will love these two children and fulfill my responsibilities. But if you want me to treat them the same way I treat Chenchen, that's impossible."
Although Wei Yikui has a good impression of Ma Yulan, under the current circumstances, he is unable to treat other people's children the same as his own.
In fact, long before Geng Changshuo's true identity was exposed, his parents had told him that since Geng Changshuo was a soldier, Chenchen would most likely follow the army in the future. If he remained single, it would make Chenchen feel awkward: if he followed the army, he would have a father at home; if he did not, it would not be a problem for the couple to be apart all year round.
It would be better for him to marry another one. If he has a child, it can be regarded as a companion for Chenchen. Even if he doesn't have a child, it is better to have a companion in old age than to be alone for the rest of his life.
At that time, he still felt that it was a bit early to want to follow the army, but when the boy wrote to him last time saying that he had been promoted to deputy battalion commander and was eligible to let his family follow the army, he knew that he should start the process of remarrying.
But before he could say anything, his daughter brought it up. He then mentioned Ma Yulan.
It is true that he likes Ma Yulan, but he does not have to marry her. If Ma Yulan really forces him to marry her as his own daughter, then he will not marry her.
Thinking of this, Wei Yikui pursed his lips and said, "Sister, I just want to live with you. If you are willing, you can bring your two daughters and I can bring mine. We can help each other and live a better life than now."
Ma Yulan nodded. If this man had said from the beginning that he would treat his daughter as his own, she would not believe it. On the contrary, such words made the man seem more simple and sincere.
That's what she meant. If a married couple has children, and they want the other party to treat their children as their own, they should think about whether they can treat the other party's children as their own. If not, don't ask others to do so.
"Brother Wei, you have passed the first question." Ma Yulan smiled faintly and then asked the second question.
