As Liu Toudao’s words rang out, the lights of Gancha Town came on one after another, with chickens crowing and dogs barking, creating quite a lively scene.

The normally tranquil Gancha Town became especially noisy at this moment, buzzing with disbelief.

“Liu Toudao, you must be talking nonsense, Xiaoqiang is a good kid, how could he possibly be a thief?”

“Heh heh, Liu Toudao, don’t tell me your daughter can’t find anyone, so you’re just trying to push her onto Xiaoqiang, huh?”

“Haha, what you are saying is spot on, Xiaoqiang isn’t just handsome, but also a college graduate, Liu Toudao certainly wants to throw his own daughter at him.”

“…”

Li Xiaoqiang was directly chased by Liu Toudao into the Nu Long River, and as he plunged into the Nu Long River, a cool sensation flooded his body.

Li Xiaoqiang swam towards the opposite bank while turning back and saying, “Uncle Liu, you’ve really misunderstood, my relationship with Auntie Liu isn’t what you think it is.”

Liu Toudao, looking at Li Xiaoqiang swimming in the river, sputtered angrily, “Xiaoqiang, stop being a hypocrite, stop making excuses, Uncle Liu has heard everything.

I am going to your house right now to let the Immortal judge this matter.

If you don’t give my daughter an explanation, huh, I’ll never let this go.”

Having said this, Liu Toudao headed towards the Li Family’s courtyard.

At this point, the townsfolk began to make their way to Li Xiaoqiang’s house.

Seeing this, Li Xiaoqiang, feeling helpless, swam back and followed Liu Toudao.

Liu Toudao entered the Li Family’s courtyard with caution, staring at Li Guo’an, who was walking out of a room leaning on a walking stick.

Liu Toudao hastily hid his butcher knife behind him, bowed to Li Anfu, and said solemnly, “Elder Immortal, Xiaoqiang just sneaked into my daughter’s room.

I, Liu Toudao, may not have any grand dreams or aspirations, but I just want my daughter to live her life quietly.

Of course, if my daughter fancies any man in town, I wouldn’t stop her.

I think, since the two of them have already become involved, it’s only right to give them a legitimate reason to be together, to ward off idle gossip.”

Li Guo’an walked into the courtyard while Wang Chunmei, his daughter-in-law who was quite sensible, hurriedly brought a wicker chair next to him and helped Li Guo’an sit down, saying, “Dad, please take a seat first!”

After Li Guo’an sat down, he started smoking his dry tobacco pipe, gazing up at the star-filled sky.

By this time, the Li Family’s courtyard was already packed with people, with most of Gancha Town’s population gathered there.

Seeing Li Guo’an engrossed in smoking his dry tobacco pipe, Liu Toudao’s confidence wavered, and he became increasingly uneasy.

Seeing his daughter squeezing through the doorway, Liu Toudao hurriedly ran out to pull her over, then approached Li Guo’an and said sternly, “You were wrong first in this matter.

As an aunt, you deceived Xiaoqiang, a young kid.

It’s shameful.

Elder Immortal, it’s me, Liu Toudao, who has failed in my teaching.

My daughter and I are here to apologize to the Immortal’s family.”

After Liu Toudao spoke, he quickly pulled his daughter down with him, and they both knelt in front of Li Guo’an, kowtowing three times.

Li Guo’an, who seemed like a hermit from another world, surveyed everything with a look that suggested he could see through everyone’s thoughts in town.

For someone like Li Guo’an, who had lived nearly a hundred years and understood human nature and life, he simply smiled and shook his head and said, “Toudao, as elders, we really shouldn’t meddle in this.

Children should be left to find their own fortune.

Let them decide for themselves.”

Just as Li Xiaoqiang arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, the villagers made way for him, and Xiaoqiang approached Li Guo’an, hanging his head and saying, “Grandpa…”

“`

Li Anfu stared at Li Xiaoqiang, his face showing a deep fondness that all the villagers could see.

“Child, whatever you do, grandpa will support you, right or wrong.

It’s up to you how you want to handle this.

You’re a university student from Gancha Town, more educated than all of us here, so I believe in your ability to manage things.” Li Guo’an casually said this while smoking a cigarette.

When the villagers heard Li Guo’an speak, they all chimed in.

“Yes, Xiaoqiang is our university student from Gancha Town, and one day, you will be our town’s mayor, so you decide!”

“Xiaoqiang, since the ‘Immortal’ has spoken, it’s up to you to make a decision!”

Seeing that all the villagers were looking at him, Li Xiaoqiang took a deep breath and said, “Actually… Aunt Liu and I have been together for a while.”

Wow!

As soon as this was announced, all the villagers stared at Li Xiaoqiang in surprise.

Li Xiaoqiang ignored the villagers’ gazes and looked at Liu Lulu’s parents with a sigh, “Lulu has already taken the initiative to break up with me, and she’s found the person she loves.

Therefore, I, Li Xiaoqiang, also have my own happiness.

Aunt Liu is beautiful and attractive.

If I could be with a woman like her who is capable of running a household, I believe it would be a blessing for the Li Family.

My mother would also have a companion, and it would reduce the burden on her at home.

As long as Aunt Liu is willing, we can be together.”

After Li Xiaoqiang spoke these heartfelt words, Liu Chunmei knelt on the ground, tears streaming uncontrollably down her face.

To her, it didn’t matter about romance or wealth; what she cared about was having a complete home, having her own child.

Liu Chunmei felt like the River God of Nu Long River had shown his divine presence.

Liu Lulu’s parents, upon hearing this, said in disbelief, “Xiaoqiang, how could Lulu break up with you?

No…

that can’t be.”

Li Xiaoqiang looked at the couple with a slight smile and said, “Uncle Liu, you should celebrate for Lulu.

She has found a boyfriend who is wealthier than me, which is better than a poor kid like me.

It’s all in the past now, and I don’t want to dwell on it.

In the future, you’re still my uncle and aunt, and that will never change.”

Seeing Li Xiaoqiang say all this, Li Guo’an nodded with satisfaction and said, “Everyone go back and rest, let’s disperse!”

At Li Guo’an’s word, the villagers dispersed.

In the Li Family’s large courtyard, only Li Xiaoqiang’s family and Liu Toudao and his daughter were left.

Seeing Liu Toudao still kneeling before him, Li Anfu smiled and said, “Stand up, all of you.

Don’t you want to become part of our family?”

When Liu Toudao heard Li Guo’an finish speaking, he felt that his bold move that evening had finally paid off and his tense nerves relaxed at last.

He quickly pulled up Liu Chunmei and said, “Quick, call him grandpa, call her mom!”

With her face suddenly burning red, Liu Chunmei bowed before Liu Toudao and said, “Grandpa, Mom!”

Li Guo’an burst into hearty laughter, “Good, good, now I, Guo’an, have a granddaughter-in-law.”

Li Xiaoqiang’s mother was very happy and laughed joyfully, walking up to Liu Chunmei and taking her hand, she said, “Don’t call me mom, you’re making me embarrassed.”

Liu Toudao quickly interjected, “How can she not call you mom?

It’s a matter of propriety, and we can’t mess that up.

Now, ‘Immortal’, since you’ve agreed to them being together, why don’t they consummate their marriage tonight?”
