Siheyuan: Rebirth of Liu Ergou

Chapter 202: A thread of fate?

The deaf old lady sat by the fireplace alone, mumbling to herself, "What's wrong with Aunt Li? She hasn't come yet." Although the deaf old lady is old, her eyes are still sharp and her mind is still clear. That day, Aunt Li from the compound came to see the deaf old lady mysteriously with a smile on her face.

"Old lady, I found a girl for your Liu Yi. Would you like to bring her over to see me?" Aunt Li lowered her voice, as if she was telling a huge secret.

When the deaf old lady heard this, her eyes, which had been closed for rest, suddenly opened, and a gleam of light flashed in her cloudy eyes: "Auntie Li, are you serious?"

Aunt Li patted her chest and assured, "Of course it's true. How could I lie to you? This girl is very pretty and has a gentle personality. I think she is a good match for Liu Yi."

When the deaf old lady heard this, she was immediately delighted. Liu Yi had grown up under her care, and he was a good man, but he had never found a suitable girl. Now that Aunt Li took the initiative to propose marriage, how could she miss this opportunity?

"Then you should arrange it quickly. I'll ask Sha Zhuzi to call Liu Yi back. He went to his second uncle Liu Haizhong's house to chat again." The deaf old lady ordered.

Silly Zhuzi, also known as He Yuzhu, was a kind-hearted person in the compound. When he heard what the deaf old lady said, he quickly put down his work and went to the home of the second uncle Liu Haizhong.

At this time, Liu Yi was chatting with Liu Haizhong. Liu Haizhong was well-known in the courtyard for his eloquence, and every time Liu Yi came, he would be dragged by him to chat for most of the day. Today was no exception, the two of them talked about everything from national affairs to neighborhood trivia, it was really lively.

"Liu Yi, look at me, your second uncle. I was also a good hand when I was young, but now I'm old and useless." Liu Haizhong sighed.

Liu Yi smiled and comforted him: "Second Uncle, please don't say that. In our hearts, you will always be the majestic Second Uncle."

As she was talking, He Yuzhu rushed in, grabbed Liu Yi and walked out: "Liu Yi, come home with me quickly, the old lady has something to tell you."

Liu Yi was puzzled by He Yuzhu's pulling: "What's wrong? Brother Zhuzi, why are you in such a hurry?"

Seeing this, Liu Haizhong followed out curiously: "Hey, Zhuzi, what are you doing? Liu Yi is chatting with me."

He Yuzhu stopped and turned to Liu Haizhong and said, "Second Uncle, don't ask anymore. This is a good thing. You will know in a moment."

As he said that, He Yuzhu pulled Liu Yi and hurried home. Although Liu Haizhong was curious, he couldn't follow them anymore, so he just stood there, wondering what the good news was.

When they got home, the deaf old lady was already sitting in the living room waiting for them. When she saw Liu Yi, she smiled and said, "Liu Yi, come and sit down."

Liu Yi sat down confusedly: "Old lady, what do you want to talk to me about?"

The deaf old lady took Liu Yi's hand and said kindly, "Good news, good news. Aunt Li found a girl for you and wants you to meet her."

When Liu Yi heard this, he was stunned. He didn't expect that he would be arranged to go on a blind date. Moreover, it was through the traditional way of Aunt Li.

"This...how can this be possible?" Liu Yi was a little at a loss.

The deaf old lady patted the back of Liu Yi's hand and comforted him, "What's wrong with that? You are so old now, it's time for you to get married. Don't worry, the girl is not bad, you can meet her first."

As she spoke, the deaf old lady winked at Aunt Li. Aunt Li understood and quickly got up to prepare to greet the girl.

Liu Yi sat on the sofa, feeling mixed emotions. On the one hand, he felt that this matter was a bit sudden, and on the other hand, he was curious about what the girl looked like.

After a while, Aunt Li came in with a girl. The girl was really pretty, with fair skin, big eyes, and looked very gentle.

When Liu Yi saw it, he nodded secretly. And when the girl saw Liu Yi, she also smiled shyly.

Seeing this, the deaf old lady was even more delighted. She quickly asked the two to sit down, and then together with Aunt Li, she started to bring them together.

"Girl, what's your name?" asked the deaf old lady.

"My name is Xiaofang." The girl answered softly.

"Xiaofang, what do you think of Liu Yi?" Aunt Li also interrupted.

Xiaofang glanced at Liu Yi secretly, then nodded with a red face: "Very good."

When Liu Yi heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little happy. He didn't expect that his first impression of this girl was actually quite good.

In the following time, the deaf old lady and Aunt Li took turns to say all kinds of nice things. Liu Yi and Xiaofang gradually opened up and started chatting.

From hobbies to work and life, the two found that they had a lot in common. Liu Yi couldn't help but look forward to the future.

Liu Haizhong, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but smile with satisfaction when he saw this scene. He knew that Liu Yi was finally going to get married, which made him, as an elder, very happy.

Time passed quickly, and it was evening in the blink of an eye. Accompanied by the deaf old lady and Aunt Li, Xiaofang reluctantly left the compound. Liu Yi stood at the door of his house, watching her back. …

"Xiaoyi, Xiaofang is a good girl. You should get her quickly and let the old lady hold a wedding for you. You will have a wife, children and a warm bed." Xiaoyi was a little hesitant after hearing what the second uncle Liu Haizhong said. He did have a good impression of Xiaofang, but he felt that he was not ready to get married yet. He wanted to focus on his career first and consider marriage after he had a certain financial foundation.

However, the second uncle's words also made him feel pressured. He knew that the second uncle was doing it for his own good, hoping that he could settle down and live a happy life as soon as possible. He also didn't want to disappoint the old lady, after all, the old lady had always loved him very much.

Xiaoyi decided to talk to Xiaofang to see what she thought. He asked Xiaofang to meet him at a coffee shop, and Xiaofang readily agreed.

After meeting, Xiaoyi expressed his thoughts and concerns to Xiaofang. Xiaofang smiled and said that she understood Xiaoyi's thoughts and supported him to focus on his career first. She felt that marriage was a lifelong thing and could not be decided hastily. She was willing to wait for Xiaoyi and consider marriage when he felt the time was right.

Xiaoyi was very touched after hearing Xiaofang's words. He felt that Xiaofang was a considerate and good girl, and he decided to cherish her. He held Xiaofang's hand and said that he would work hard to give Xiaofang a happy home as soon as possible. Xiaofang nodded and said that she believed Xiaoyi.
