1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 913 I Trust My Son's Judgment

After confirming that Guo Yan'er was pregnant, Xiao Wanli proposed marriage.

Guo Yan'er hesitated at first. After all, everyone at the educated youth settlement knew about her affair with that male educated youth. Although the incident that day was not exposed, her reputation was somewhat damaged because the male educated youth married someone else. She was also afraid that he would regret it later.

Xiao Wanli repeatedly stated his position, knowing that it was the girl's first time and that she was now pregnant. He understood perfectly well what awaited her if he didn't stand up for her.

After listening to this, the Xiao couple remained silent for a long time.

They weren't saying their son was wrong, but this daughter-in-law had someone else in her heart before. Was she truly committed to living with her son, or was she only compromising for the sake of the child in her womb?
After a long pause, Aunt Xiao finally spoke: "Now that you've registered your marriage, you should treat the girl well from now on. If anything goes wrong in the future, don't bring up the past, so as not to hurt her feelings."

Xiao Wanli knew what his parents were worried about: "Mom and Dad, don't worry, Yan'er is a good girl, I believe in her."

Their conversation was overheard by Guo Yan'er, who had come to call them for dinner. She was deeply moved. Based on everything Xiao Wanli had done, she was slowly growing to like this man, and Xiao's parents seemed quite easy to get along with.

She lowered her head, touched her stomach, took a deep breath, and went into the house: "The food is ready, Wanli, please set the table."

Seeing that he was still holding a basket of dry food in one hand, Xiao Wanli quickly put the kang table down.

She placed the basket on the kang table and said, "You rest in the room for a while, I'll go get the dishes."

Aunt Xiao then added, "I'll go help out too, and also check on your living conditions."

Guo Yan'er followed her out: "Then I'll go with you to take a look." Aunt Xiao liked this daughter-in-law even more now. After all, she had encountered such bad luck and was still so strong. She believed that this girl couldn't be bad-hearted: "Okay, then let's go together, mother and daughter."

Upon hearing this address, Guo Yan'er's eyes immediately reddened, and she said softly, "Thank you."

Aunt Xiao stopped walking out, took Guo Yan'er's hand, and said, "It's all in the past. From now on, live a good life with Wanli. I trust my son's judgment."

Guo Yan'er nodded emphatically, her eyes red: "I will."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked out hand in hand, and Uncle Xiao behind them also smiled. Although his son and this girl were a happy accident, the girl had clear eyes and could not be wrong.

They lived in a dormitory for male and female educated youth. This room was originally a storage room. Since they were getting married, they asked the brigade cadres to pay the villagers to come and renovate it. After the wedding tomorrow, they will move in together.

They also asked the villagers to help build a temporary kitchen so that they could cook separately after the wedding, making it easier to improve their lives.

After looking around, Xiao's mother was fairly satisfied.

To welcome his parents, Xiao Wanli specially traded a rabbit with the villagers. The meal consisted of two kinds of rice, a pot of stewed rabbit with potatoes, and some pickled vegetables made by Guo Yan'er herself.

Besides giving a bowl to the educated youth next door, I filled a large basin with the rest: "Mom and Dad, take off your coats, wash your hands and get on the kang (heated brick bed), we'll start eating now, you can also try your daughter-in-law's cooking."
