A charming widow in her 70s married a factory manager and raised his children.

After finishing their meal, Jin Guilan and the others set off for their eldest son Li Chao's house.

At this moment, Lu Congyue and Zhuang Qingxiang were talking about Jin Guilan's family.

"The investigation into Li Weixing's case is almost complete. His son won't get a single penny of that money. If Sister Jin wants them to sign a guarantee, she should do so as soon as possible. I'll talk to someone here and see if we can postpone the notification for a couple of days."

Zhuang Qingxiang nodded: "Then I'll ask tomorrow. If it's not done yet, I'll tell them to hurry up."

She paused, then added uncertainly, "I feel that even if Sister Jin's two sons sign, they might not abide by it. They're just trying to fool Sister Jin and Li Meihua. They'll definitely try to shift the blame when they run out of money."

"Then we'll see if Sister Jin and her daughter can keep those two in check." Lu Congyue shook his head. He felt they definitely couldn't, and who knew what would happen in the future.

Zhuang Qingxiang blinked her eyes: "I think Huang Yuejin can keep them in check."

"How should we bring him up?" Lu Congyue asked, puzzled.

"Yongxian said they might be dating," Zhuang Qingxiang replied.

Lu Congyue directly stated that it was impossible.

What kind of family did Li Meihua grow up in? Both her parents worked, and her two older brothers also had jobs; none of them were a burden! She grew up in the company's staff quarters. Regardless of what Li Weixing is like now, he used to be quite shrewd and ambitious.

Huang Yuejin grew up in the neighborhood, and before he became a full-fledged employee, his reputation in his workplace was not as great as his reputation in the neighborhood.

If he wants to date Li Meihua, he's thinking too much; Li Meihua definitely can't pay him any attention.

"If you happen to run into Li Meihua, you should tell her to be careful. Huang Yuejin is a man who doesn't care about the consequences of his actions," he said seriously.

Zhuang Qingxiang said she would ask if she had the chance.

Jin Guilan's family only has this one reliable daughter left; she mustn't be ruined.

After chatting about these trivial matters, Lu Congyue apologized to Zhuang Qingxiang. He explained that he had been away for exchange and study for so long, and there was a lot of work piling up at his workplace. He not only had to work overtime every day, but also had to travel for work. He would be very busy recently and might not be able to take care of his family.

"It's okay, I'm at home, aren't I?" Zhuang Qingxiang comforted her with a smile. "I can manage on my own. You go about your business and don't worry about things at home."

Lu Congyue was really too busy. After talking to Zhuang Qingxiang, he started a busy life with no time to spare. It was common for him to not get home until eight or nine o'clock at night, and he would be gone for three to five days at a time when he went on a business trip.

Zhuang Qingxiang was not used to it at first because Lu Congyue had always been too clingy, and she felt empty inside when he was suddenly not at home.

She got used to it later, because she was quite busy herself. Besides taking care of the children, she also had to keep track of the gossip about Jin Guilan's family.

For money, Li Chao and Li Wei signed a guarantee brought by Jin Guilan, promising in front of witnesses that their father would be cared for by them in his old age, and their mother would be cared for by their daughter in her old age.

In this way, Jin Guilan and Li Meihua will no longer have to worry about Li Weixing's affairs.

Two days after signing the contract, Li Wei was still thinking about asking when he would get his money back when the official notice came: the money was ill-gotten, not a penny would be returned, and Li Weixing would have to pay even more money to avoid going to jail.

At that moment, the sky fell for Li Chao and Li Wei.

She went crying and sobbing to Jin Guilan for help.

Jin Guilan stated that she is already divorced and has no relationship with Li Weixing. She will not provide any financial or personal assistance.

Li Chao and Li Wei knelt at the entrance of the courtyard in the alley and cried, making it impossible for Jin Guilan to go to work.

When Li Meihua came over, they asked her to take care of Li Weixing, saying that she was alone, unlike them who had families to support and it was inconvenient for them.

Jin Guilan produced a guarantee and called Huang Yuejin over as a witness.

The rules were set beforehand, and there's no use going back on them now.

To be honest, Li Chao and Li Wei were quite shameless when they were crying and using both soft and hard tactics to coerce Jin Guilan, but when they encountered Huang Yuejin, they turned into cowards, cursing and leaving, saying that they would come again in the future, and that Li Meihua had a responsibility to take care of the filial Li Weixing.

There was no way around it; Huang Yuejin had a notorious reputation and an intimidating appearance. When he sullenly looked at people with a dark expression, it sent chills down your spine.

Zhuang Qingxiang and Sun Yongxian would often get together to guess whether Huang Yuejin could catch up with Li Meihua.

Everyone thought Huang Yuejin was a toad trying to eat swan meat, but no one expected that Huang Yuejin was actually forced into it.

At that time, Zhuang Qingxiang, along with her three children and Sun Yongxian, went shopping and, feeling too lazy to go back to cook, went to a state-run restaurant for a meal. There, they happened to run into Huang Yuejin on a blind date.

They were still shocked that Huang Yuejin dared to go on a blind date and pursue Li Meihua at the same time when Li Meihua arrived. She sat down next to him with an air of nonchalance and said with a smile to Huang Yuejin's blind date, "Sorry to disturb your blind date. The main thing is that I am pursuing Comrade Huang Yuejin. I think he and I are a match made in heaven, but you are not suitable."

The blind date stormed off in anger.

Zhuang Qingxiang and Sun Yongxian's mouths were agape, wide enough to fit two eggs.

Then Huang Yuejin pleaded with a pained expression, "Li Meihua, can you please forgive me? I've already said we're not suitable, but if you keep doing this... people will misunderstand!"

"What's wrong with it?" Li Meihua asked with a smile. "We're both single and have jobs now, so it's a good match. Or is it that you mind that I've been married before? If you do, then I..."

She choked up as she spoke.

Sun Yongxian raised an eyebrow at Zhuang Qingxiang and secretly gave her a thumbs up.

Zhuang Qingxiang smiled helplessly.

Li Meihua's voice choked up, but her eyes weren't even a little red. She didn't look like she was faking it at all.

But some people will fall for it.

Huang Yuejin said anxiously, "I didn't mean to be disgusted, no, I mean..."

Li Meihua immediately broke into a big smile: "I knew you wouldn't mind, Huang Yuejin. So when are we getting married?"

Zhuang Qingxiang watched as Huang Yuejin's face turned from red to purple, then back to red and purple again. After holding back for a long time, she didn't say anything and just got up and left.

Of course, he didn't get to leave; Li Meihua pressed him down.

Their movements were a bit too loud, attracting the attention of others. Huang Yuejin looked around awkwardly and found Zhuang Qingxiang and Sun Yongxian there. Immediately, his eyes lit up with a pleading look.

"Comrade Zhuang, Comrade Sun!" he called out impatiently and rushed over.

This time, Li Meihua didn't stop him. Instead, she walked over confidently and greeted Zhuang Qingxiang and the others with a smile.

Huang Yuejin looked distressed: "Comrade Zhuang, Comrade Sun, please advise Li Meihua. She keeps ruining my blind dates, making it difficult for me to face people at the factory. This blind date was even introduced by our deputy factory director. I don't know what to say when I get back."

"I told you it wasn't a good match," Li Meihua said, raising an eyebrow. "Who says blind dates have to be successful?"

Huang Yuejin looked at Zhuang Qingxiang and Sun Yongxian with pleading eyes, as if he were silently crying for help.

Zhuang Qingxiang even hallucinated that Huang Yuejin looked delicate and frail, while Li Meihua was a mountain bandit who was forcing him into marriage.

After staring in disbelief for a moment, Zhuang Qingxiang stammered, "Meihua, you've taken a liking to Huang Yuejin? Does your mother know?"
