"Sister Ye Ning, I see you are not old enough. I didn't expect to get married so early."

But what he didn't expect was that the smile on Zhou Ye Ning's face quickly faded, and she smiled bitterly despite her sad look.

"Oh, I can't help myself."

"What do you mean? Why can't you help yourself? Can anyone else help you decide this matter?"

Li Tian was puzzled and continued to ask.

"This is a marriage arranged by my family. Because my family has business dealings with the Chou family, the marriage was arranged. I can't refuse."

"Worrying about home?"

Li Tian murmured, why do they have something to do with them everywhere?

"Aren't marriages always between young ladies and young masters in the family? Why are you allowed to go?"

Now he was even more puzzled. Whose family made the maid marry?

"This is a special case, because there is only one Young Master Yunzhi in the family, so I can only let me go. The other party is the illegitimate son of the head of the Chou family, and is not a direct descendant. In a sense, it can be regarded as

We're well matched, right?"

Zhou Yening smiled bitterly again, as if she had already succumbed to this fate.

"If possible, who wouldn't want to marry the person they like? You're right."

Soon, she put away her sad face again, acting as if nothing could happen.

"But maybe the other person is a very good person, then I will make money, hehe."

A warm smile appeared on her face again.

It's just that when Li Tian looked at her at this moment, it looked like he was forcing a smile, and his feelings were just comforting himself in this way.

"I'll go back and ask Yun Zhi for you to see if I can help you cancel this marriage. Do you think it's okay?"

He didn't know if it would be useful to find Yun Zhi, but he was just an ordinary person, so he could only try his best to see if he could help Zhou Yening.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yening's expression changed.

"No, Mr. Li Tian, ​​you must not tell my son, otherwise my family will think that I am dissatisfied with the arrangements at home. My family has raised me so well and taught me how to practice. It is time for me to repay my family. I appreciate your kindness.

But it’s really not necessary.”

She did not accept Li Tian's kindness, but had already resigned herself to fate.

"Alas~"

"Okay, since you said so, Sister Ye Ning, then I won't say it."

Li Tian shook his head slightly and said nothing more. After all, this was his own business and he couldn't interfere too much.

Wang Cuilan couldn't get in the middle of their discussion. Although she sympathized with Zhou Yening's experience, she didn't know how to persuade her. Should she be more open-minded? Or should she accept the reality? Or just give her nothing.

Say no more.

Just like that, the three of them were silent for a while, quietly eating the rice in their hands, but at this time the food was no longer fragrant.

"I'm sorry for making you feel bad."

Seeing their silence, Zhou Yening felt a little guilty because she shouldn't have said anything if she had known.

"Silly girl, what are you talking about? Come on, have some more."

Wang Cuilan immediately put another piece of braised pork into her bowl and comforted her with a smile.

Looking at her appearance at this time, I couldn't help but feel a little distressed. What a good girl she is. She is always thinking about others, but not herself.

"Sometimes, there is nothing wrong with people being selfish. At least they won't live too tiredly."

She seemed to be comforting Zhou Ye Ning, but also seemed not to say anything, just an understatement.

Feeling her concern, Zhou Yening's eyes couldn't help but turn a little red. No one had ever cared about her like this before, right?

"Thank you, auntie, I understand."

Wang Cuilan smiled and nodded after hearing this.

"Okay, you guys eat first. I have to do the laundry. I'll put it away after you finish eating and tidy it up when I come back."

After saying that, without waiting for the two of them to reply, he stood up and left.

Looking at Wang Cuilan's leaving figure, Li Tian just lowered his head in silence.

My life is already unsatisfactory, but I cannot see the suffering in the world.

"Sister Ye Ning, let's go."

Not long after Wang Cuilan left, Li Tian took the lead to break the silence and smiled at Zhou Yening beside him.

Hearing this, Zhou Yening was stunned and said in confusion.

"Why don't we tell Auntie?"

"Do you think she really went to do the laundry?"

Li Tian chuckled, then stood up and looked for paper and pen on the cabinet nearby.

"Ah? Didn't she say she was going to do the laundry?" Zhou Ye Ning was confused now. Could it be that doing laundry was some code word?

"When she's in a bad mood, she'll find an excuse to stay alone for a while. It's okay. Let's leave first. I'll leave her a note so she won't cry when she sees me leaving, hehe."

Li Tian wrote the note and put it on the table, then called Zhou Yening and left.

Not long after, they left Wang Cuilan's house some distance away.

Wang Cuilan didn't know about the two leaving because she really went to do laundry...

When she gets home, she will probably give Li Tian a good scolding.

As the two of them walked, they passed by a small shop, which made Li Tian's eyes light up.

"Sister Ye Ning, please wait for me here."

"good."

Although Zhou Yening didn't know what he was going to do, she still stood there obediently. She watched Li Tian run into the small shop next to her.

"Are you going to buy something?"

She was puzzled, and just when she was confused, she heard a yell coming from the shop.

"You stinky boy! Are you here for free prostitution again?!!!"

Then he saw Li Tian running out of the shop with a smile on his face and two popsicles in his hand...

"Thank you, Uncle Li!"

Soon, Li Tian came to her side again and handed her a popsicle in his hand.

"Sister Ye Ning, let me treat you to some popsicles, hee hee."
