Divorced by her husband's family and rejected by her own! She defiantly turned her life around

"Hongmei, Shitou is a good boy. Your aunt really likes him. Your aunt doesn't want you to miss out on such a good match. Your Aunt Ye's family is simple and the couple are kind and easy to get along with. Why don't you reconsider?"

"Thank you, Aunt, for your boundless love and care for me. I know you do it all for my own good, and I truly thank you," Hongmei said, kneeling down and kowtowing.

Madam Feng quickly pulled her up, saying, "Why do you kneel so easily, child? Since you don't want to, your aunt won't force you." Ye Wenxiu was standing outside and had heard the entire conversation inside.

She went inside. "Hongmei, your aunt knows you're upset. You shouldn't be saying these things now, but that boy Shitou has taken a liking to you and is lovesick. I'm not trying to blackmail you, I just want you to give Shitou a chance so you can get to know each other better."

If you still feel it's not right, then it means you two aren't meant to be, and that will make him give up.

"Hongmei, your aunt is right. If you want to learn embroidery, then go ahead and learn. No one is stopping you. Just make sure you and Shitou spend more time together and give each other a chance."

"Yes, Hongmei, whatever you want to do, your aunt will support you. If there's no one to take care of the child, your aunt can help you take care of the child, just like her own granddaughter."

"Auntie, I'm divorced and have a child. Does Shitou know that? Do you know that? Are you all aware of my past?"

"I know, Shitou knew everything when he went to your house last time. He said he didn't care, he only cared about you. It has nothing to do with your past. Your child is his child. Since it's his child, then it's my granddaughter."

Don't worry about any of that. If our family treats you badly, your aunt and April are here, aren't they? Let them stand up for you!

Liu Siyue chuckled, "Auntie is really going all out for her daughter-in-law, wanting to be a grandmother so soon."

A barely perceptible smile appeared on Hongmei's lips. Aunt Ye was really interesting. It turned out that the package he gave her wasn't an apology, but a sign that he liked her. It turned out that she could be liked. A sweet feeling welled up in her heart, but she wouldn't easily entrust herself to someone else. She had to have the ability to stand on her own two feet, just like April. Even without a man, she could live a good life.

Hongmei kept her head down and didn't say anything. "Ye Wenxiu went over and took her hand. Hongmei, you're a good girl, so give Shitou a chance."

"Auntie, I appreciate your kindness, but I want to learn a skill first, which will take a long time. I don't want you to waste your time on me."

Stone is not young anymore, can he wait that long?

Ye Wenxiu didn't know how to answer the question. After thinking for a moment, she immediately said, "I'll go back and call Shitou over so he can talk to you in person." Before anyone else could react, she quickly walked out.

Once outside the yard, she let out a long sigh. She herself had looked down on him, but now she was begging him for his attention. Sigh, what could she do when her son liked him?

When she got home, she saw Stone waiting at the gate again. She didn't even go inside. "Son, come with me."

"Mother, has everything been settled? Did Hongmei agree?"

"I'll tell you slowly on the way."

Ye Wenxiu told Shitou about it on the way, "Son, I've risked my reputation for you. Can't you really consider other girls? Can you wait that long for her?"

"Mother, your son is willing to wait. Besides, I'm not that old. Even if I wait two more years, I'll only be in my early twenties. I'll work hard to earn money these two years, and I won't have to work so hard after she marries into the family."

"You're quite considerate of her."

When the mother and daughter arrived at Liu Dawang's house, Liu Siyue couldn't help but laugh when she saw the big stone. When did this man fall for her cousin Hongmei? So she deliberately teased, "Oh dear, I heard from my aunt that someone is lovesick. Is that true?"

"Brother Stone, do you know who he is?"

Shi Tou's face turned red, and he didn't say a word. Madam Feng looked at Shi Tou and then at Hong Mei, and thought the two were quite a good match. "Shi Tou, we know about your situation. You don't need to be shy. Marriage is a normal thing. You like Hong Mei, and that's your freedom. We have no right to interfere."

However, we respect Hongmei's choice. You two should go to the courtyard and have a good talk, clarify things, and give each other a definite answer on whether it's acceptable or not.

Stone was overjoyed and immediately thanked her, "Thank you, Auntie, for giving me this opportunity."

When Shi Tou and Hong Mei arrived in the courtyard, they stood there silently, neither of them speaking. Shi Tou couldn't hold back any longer and spoke first, "Hong Mei, I love you. Will you marry me?"

Hongmei blushed crimson to the roots of her ears at his direct confession. She looked up at him and saw that the man in front of her was also flushed. "Shitou, you say you love me, so tell me, what do you like about me? When did you start having these feelings?"

"I've seen you here a few times before, but I didn't know who you were. I just thought you were very pretty and spoke very gently. It was only after we bumped into each other that I learned you were my aunt's niece."

From that day on, I often thought of you. Whenever I had free time, you would appear in my mind. That time I went to your house, I learned everything about you. Later, when your ex-husband came to your door to bully you, I wanted to tear him apart and vent my anger for you.

Your appearance makes me feel even more sorry for you, and it lingers in my mind. I can't help but want to see you. I even secretly came to see you, but I didn't see you.

If you ask me what I like about you, I don't know. I just want to see you and be with you.

Hongmei laughed. This silly, simple-minded guy, he likes her but doesn't dare to say it.

"I'm a divorced woman, you don't mind?"

"I don't mind at all. It's not your fault that we're getting a divorce. The Hu family doesn't know how to cherish you. They're blind. I don't care about them. I do care about them."

Where are your parents?

"I've told them everything, and they know about your situation. They support me. As long as I'm happy, they'll be happy. Your daughter is my daughter. Parents love children very much, and they will definitely treat her well. I will also learn to be a good father and not let you and the child suffer any injustice."

You said you wanted to learn a trade, and I support you. Go ahead and learn it. I'll wait for you. You can marry me whenever you want; I won't force you.

Just give me a chance to get close to you, don't reject me.

Hongmei thought for a moment, "I just got divorced not long ago, and I don't want to get married so soon. If you are willing to wait, let's give each other a year. After a year, if you are still willing to marry me, I am also willing to marry you. Then we can ask a matchmaker to arrange the engagement and get married."

If, during this period, either party makes a better choice, the other party is not allowed to interfere or force them to.

If you agree, then we'll make a deal like this. I hope you can find someone better.

"Whether I agree or not, I agree. Thank you for giving me this opportunity. In my heart, you are the best."

If you don't mind, you can leave the child with my mother; she loves children.

"No need, I can take care of it myself. We're nothing yet, so as not to cause gossip."

The two talked for a while, and the people inside the house, seeing them chatting and laughing, figured there must be a way.

After a while, Shi Tou and Hong Mei arrived at the main room one after the other to meet everyone. "Have you reached an agreement?" Madam Feng asked.

"Aunt, I promised Shitou that we would give each other a year. If he is still willing to marry me after a year, and I am willing to marry him, then we can discuss marriage."

Liu Shitou quickly followed, "Mother, Aunt, I'm willing to wait."
