Chapter 453: Reported
Li Dongmei seemed to have made up her mind, "I also think he’s good, I want to live the life of city people, and I’ve accepted the idea of a second marriage."
Only then did Lin Jiayi speak, "What’s wrong with a second marriage? Some people are just too old-fashioned. In the city, people don’t just get married twice—third and even fourth marriages happen, and people fight to get married. Plus, city folks are educated. People say that educated people have higher quality, and they treat their wives well."
Li Dongmei’s cheeks flushed immediately, "I just feel that he’s really good, I’m just afraid that my mom won’t agree to the marriage..."
Lin Jiayi suddenly changed the topic, "Speaking of marriage, when I went to buy meat today, I saw a family in the village holding a wedding banquet. It was a staff member from the commune who married a girl from the village. I heard that the man’s family was not willing at first, but the woman was tactful. She got pregnant before anything much happened, making the man’s family have no choice but to agree, and they had to throw a big banquet."
"Ah, getting pregnant before marriage, she’d be drowned in spit!"
Li Dongmei completely forgot the previous topic, her eyes wide open in shock.
"Hey, let them talk, what does it matter if they say unpleasant things? Does it cost anyone a piece of flesh? On the contrary, the woman married the man and now has a husband who works as a staff member in the village. She’s set for life with plenty to eat and drink. If the man becomes successful and becomes an official, she’ll be a madame. Then, what can others say? Anything they say is just sour grapes."
Lin Jiayi finished speaking and looked outside at the darkening sky, "Oh no, I haven’t fed the chickens yet, and it’s getting dark."
Li Dongmei watched Lin Jiayi’s hurried figure, her mind filled with the saying about sour grapes.
