When the pears are green

Chapter 191 Family background

Seeing that Chen Yuan looked gloating, Li Yun'an told Chen Yuan that Ruyi's father and elder brother had gone to the county town to work.

Thieves are rampant now, and Chen Yuan will definitely be anxious and angry because he is worried about Ruyi's safety.

Li Yun'an was very satisfied with Chen Yuan's worried look. He took Yang Jing's hand and slowly walked towards Yang Yu who was glaring at the two of them.

Yang Yu's eyes fell on the two people's interlocked hands. He shouted at Li Yun'an, scaring away the sparrows perched on the paulownia tree.

Yang Jing quickly broke free, she lowered her head and asked Yang Yu why he hadn't gone to the bookstore yet.

"I came back from the study and my mother told me that you went out with that boy. How could I go to the study with peace of mind if I didn't wait for you to come back? Yang Jing, have you lost your mind? How could you be so intimate with him in broad daylight?" Yang Yu scolded Yang Jing in a disappointed manner.

Li Yun'an quickly defended Yang Jing, saying that Yang Yu was lenient with himself and strict with others.

Yang Yu was speechless after being rebuked by Li Yun'an. This time he truly empathized with Wu Mingde who had beaten him. He also wanted to pin Li Yun'an to the ground and beat him up.

Yang Zhang heard the quarrel between Li Yun'an and Yang Yu. She pushed open the gate and let them go into the yard to talk instead of embarrassing themselves in front of the door.

"Yang Jing, Yang Jing, and you, Yang Yu, the two of you keep me worried. I might as well go find your father and Yun'er." Yang Zhang pointed at Yang Jing and Yang Yu back and forth in grief and anger. Looking at the brother and sister who bowed their heads to admit their mistakes, she thought of the well-behaved and obedient Yang Yun.

Yang Jing quickly apologized to Yang Zhang: "Mother, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have left the matchmaker and the person I was looking for and ran away. I made things difficult for you."

"It's better not to watch it. I'm not satisfied with the man's shifty eyes this morning." Yang Zhang couldn't bear to say harsh words to Yang Jing, who was similar to Yang Yun.

Li Yun'an was afraid that Yang Zhang would arrange another man for Yang Jing to meet, so he first bowed respectfully to Yang Zhang, and then asked Yang Zhang not to arrange another date for Yang Jing. He said that when he returned home he would ask Li Liu to find a matchmaker to propose marriage.

Yang Zhang was not in a hurry to express her opinion. She asked Li Yun'an what he liked about Yang Jing.

"Auntie, although I have only known Jing'er for a short time, I really like her frankness and sincerity. I really have Mingde to thank for my acquaintance with Jing'er. To be honest, my family lives in Dongguan and owns a grocery store near the market, and we also have ten acres of land. My father is a scholar, my mother is famous for being easy to get along with, and my sister is engaged to the owner of Hu Ji Restaurant. I wouldn't say that Jing'er will become rich if she marries me, but at least she won't have to worry about her life." Li Yun'an directly revealed his family background to Yang Zhangshi. He wanted Yang Zhangshi to know that he was worthy of Yang Jing's entrustment of her life.

After hearing this, Yang Zhang was naturally very satisfied with Li Yun'an's family background.

"Since Mr. Li is interested, let the matchmaker come and talk. It is said that parents' orders and matchmaker's words are final, so we still have to go through the necessary procedures." Yang Zhang did not beat around the bush with Li Yun'an. She was not a fool, so she naturally wanted to help Yang Jing seize this good marriage.

Li Yun'an thanked Yang Zhang happily. He wanted to stay at Yang's house for a while longer, but was forcibly taken out of the house by Yang Yu who was going to the study.

"Mom, you are so unreserved." After closing the courtyard gate, Yang Jing said with a red face to Yang Zhang, who sat down to prepare to spin cloth.

Yang Zhang laughed and told Yang Jing, "Jing'er, even Li Xianggong is not reserved, so we should be straightforward. Li Xianggong is good friends with Mingshu's brother, and Mingshu is your future sister-in-law. With this relationship, even if he changes his mind in the future, he will not be too harsh on you."

"Mom really thinks long-term." Yang Jing was a little annoyed. She thought that if Li Yun'an changed his mind in the future, she would beat Li Yun'an first to see if Li Yun'an could withstand her punches.

The loom in the yard started to sound. Yang Zhang said to Yang Jing while spinning cloth: "It's not that I think too far ahead, but that I have seen too much. Come and spin cloth quickly. I have to prepare a dowry for my fourth daughter."

Yang Jing's face turned even redder, and she sat down to spin cloth with Yang Zhang.

Li Yun'an first returned to the shop and happily told Lingling and Hu Zhimin that he would ask a matchmaker to go to the Yang family to propose marriage.

"Really? That's great." Lingling happily grabbed Li Yun'an's arm and jumped up.

Li Yun'an smiled and rubbed Lingling's hair. He said that of course it was true. He estimated that after Yang Yu and Wu Mingshu got married, he would be able to marry Yang Jing.

Hu Zhimin also came over to congratulate Li Yun'an. He then told Li Yun'an about his plan: "Yun'an, things have been a bit uneasy lately. I want to move into your house from today. I know some martial arts, so if there are thieves, I can at least protect my uncle, aunt, and Lingling."

Li Yun'an could only agree. Rather than worrying about other people's gossip, he was more worried about his family's safety. At present, he could not think of a better solution except to let Hu Zhimin move in.

"But what about the restaurant?" Lingling asked worriedly. Such a big restaurant would definitely be the target of the thieves.

Hu Zhimin said that he had arranged for Zhang Da to transfer security guards. The restaurant has security guards to protect it, so there should be no problem.

Lingling and Li Yun'an both felt relieved.

As soon as the three of them finished talking, Kai Xin came to find Hu Zhimin and said that Zhang Da had returned with five guards and asked Hu Zhimin to go back and make arrangements.

"Yun'an, Lingling, you should go back early. I'll go there after I arrange the restaurant. Remember to ask your aunt to save some food for me." After Hu Zhimin finished speaking, he and Kai Xin got on the carriage and rushed to the restaurant.

Although the sun had not yet set, there were almost no pedestrians on the street. Li Yun'an stood in front of the shop and looked at the empty street. He decisively closed the shop with Lingling and went home.

When Li Yun'an returned home, he first told Li Liushi and Li Ying the news that Hu Zhimin was going to move in. Although the couple felt that it was against the rules, they did not object in the end.

"Mom, please find someone to go to the Yang family to propose marriage tomorrow." Li Yun'an asked Li Liu embarrassedly.

Li Liu agreed with a smile. She joked that Li Yun'an's half-day running was not in vain, as he actually found a beautiful bride.

Li Ying and Lingling both laughed when they heard this.

After Jiang Qingzhou came back from the river beach, he pulled the cart to the bookstore to pick up the three children.

Master Li moved Li Yi's clothes and bedding onto a cart, then comforted Li Yi by saying that he would let her move back to the study as soon as peace was restored in the town.

"Grandpa." Li Yi hugged Master Li and was reluctant to let go.

Master Li looked at the setting sun, he pushed Li Yi away with a hard heart, took out a cloth bag and handed it to Li Yi, asking her to keep it well.

"Qingzhou, you guys should go back quickly. Don't worry about an old man like me. I'm just an old man with nothing to be afraid of." Master Li told Jiang Qingzhou not to waste any more time. He sent the four people back and forth until they finally reached the stone tablet.

Seeing that it was getting darker, Li Yi hurriedly asked Master Li to go back to the study and said that she would go to the study with Song Xing and Jiang Qingye tomorrow.

Master Li nodded. As he walked back, he looked back at the backs of Jiang Qingzhou and the other three, hoping that the drought would not continue.
