Li Xiaoran found it a little funny, so she closed the door and teased, “Looks like Sisi is very tough! She adjusted so quickly after being frightened! Look at you, you look glowing and radiant!”

“Xiaoran, how can you make fun of me?!” Zhao Sisi blushed even more when she heard Li Xiaoran’s teasing.

Li Xiaoran said, “Sigh, it seems that you have feelings for Mao Dao!”

When Zhao Sisi heard Li Xiaoran’s words, her expression changed and she made a shushing gesture.

At this moment, footsteps came from outside. Jin Xiaojing brought fruits over.

“Sisi! This is the fruit Xiaoran brought back for you. It tastes very good. Come, you two can eat it together!”

Li Xiaoran thanked her with a smile. Jin Xiaojing didn’t stay any longer.

After all, Mr. Luo was at home.

They had to entertain Mr. Luo well.

After Jin Xiaojing left, Zhao Sisi heaved a sigh of relief.

“Why? You don’t want your parents to know?” Li Xiaoran saw through Zhao Sisi’s thoughts at a glance.

Zhao Sisi sighed with a bitter look.

“Ever since the Hu family’s incident last time, my parents have been paying more and more attention to my future marriage. With the Mao family’s conditions, my parents don’t think highly of them at all! Actually, I know what kind of conditions our family has. Weren’t we country bumpkins in the past? Now, our family seems to be doing better, but if we really compare, we’re not much better off than Mao Dao’s family!”

“My parents have always wanted me to climb up the social ladder and marry a better man! Take this incident as an example! Although I was a little frightened, it’s not a big deal. However, my parents hired a doctor with great fanfare and made it sound like I’ve suffered a lot! I know that my parents want to use this matter to ask you to help me find a rich person!”

“If my parents really make such a request, don’t agree to them. I’m unwilling to climb up the social ladder. I know myself. It’s already good for me to be able to marry Mao Dao. Besides, with you and my brother-in-law, my in-laws won’t dare to mistreat me even if I marry into the Mao family. As long as Mao Dao and I live our lives harmoniously, our lives will definitely get better and better!”

When Li Xiaoran heard Zhao Sisi’s words, she smiled in relief.

This girl hadn’t gone down the wrong path, and she had always had her own

Ideas.

Actually, Zhao Sisi was right to think that way.

She had to live her own life. If she only cared about marrying into a rich family, she would suffer.

It wasn’t that easy to be the wife of a rich family.

Even if one’s life seemed glamorous on the outside, only oneself knew what things were truly like.

After her second uncle and second aunt moved out of the village, they were carried away by everything outside. After experiencing the Hu family’s incident, their mentality and thoughts had completely changed. They were too anxious to succeed and wanted to take a shortcut.

However, were shortcuts really that easy to take?

As the saying went, great benefits meant high risk. In their current situation, they couldn’t withstand high risk.

Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and asked, “Have you thought it through? Are you sure you want to marry Mao Dao?”

“Yes! I’ve thought about it for a long, long time. I think Mao Dao is very suitable! He’s smart, flexible, and diligent. Most importantly, he listens to what my sister and brother-in-law say! If I marry him and we work hard together, our lives won’t be bad. I even secretly went to Mao Dao’s village to ask around and saw the Mao family with my own eyes. I think I can accept his family!” Zhao Sisi voiced all her thoughts.

When Li Xiaoran heard that Zhao Sisi had taken the initiative to interact with the Mao family, she immediately looked at her in a new light.

Many women didn’t try to learn more about their in-laws’ situation before they got married. As a result, after they got married, they were bullied by their in-laws.

According to Li Xiaoran, the first thing one should do before getting married was to see what kind of person the man’s mother was.

Secondly, it depended on what the man’s sister was like.

Thirdly, it depended on what the man’s Madam and Sister-in-law were like.

In the end, one had to see what the man’s father was like!

Zhao Sisi had considered all of this.

From this, it could be seen that this girl was serious about marrying Mao Dao.

Li Xiaoran said, “Then what are you planning to do with your parents? Do you need my help?”

Zhao Sisi said firmly, “I’ll think of a way to resolve my parents’ matter myself! Cousin, I can’t let you interfere in this matter. Otherwise, my parents will blame you for being nosy. As long as you don’t promise my parents to find me any rich people, I can use this matter to persuade my parents!”

“Do you want to use your current jeopardized reputation to let Mao Dao propose marriage and let your parents see how sincere he is?” Li Xiaoran immediately guessed Zhao Sisi’s intentions.

Zhao Sisi nodded. That was what she thought.

“If that’s what you think, you have to be prepared to fail! If your father and mother haven’t changed their mentality, this matter wouldn’t be difficult. If Mao Dao came to propose marriage, they would definitely agree. But now, they’ll probably break up the couple. Sisi, don’t you understand? Your parents have already changed. They won’t agree to anything others say. They will only do what they want!” Li Xiaoran retorted Zhao Sisi’s naive thoughts and revealed the harsh reality to her.

Zhao Sisi actually had some fantasies about it previously, but now, her fantasies were shattered by Li Xiaoran.

Zhao Sisi asked anxiously, “Then what should I do? Xiaoran, tell me!”

“It’s impossible for me not to get involved in this matter! We met Mao Dao first and he has been working in our shop for a long time. Everyone knows that Mao Dao has a deep relationship with us. Even if I don’t interfere, your parents will treat Mao Dao as someone related to me!” Li Xiaoran analyzed, “So, as long as the person you want to marry is Mao Dao, it will have something to do with me!”

When Zhao Sisi heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she immediately smiled bitterly.

“Sometimes, I really understand why my parents seem to have become different people after leaving Eagle Village!”

Li Xiaoran sneered and said, “What else can it be? Isn’t it because people are greedy? They think that I’m lucky enough to marry a good man and become successful! But why don’t they think about it? If I wasn’t sincere, I would probably have been divorced by the time your brother-in-law recovered his identity as a prince!”
