The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 970 - 939: Interested in a Girl

Huo Yingjie’s voice wasn’t loud, and He Tiantian didn’t hear him clearly.

However, Tiantian also believed that Qi Zhengmin was not the kind of woman who would weep and wail over love, threatening to die, so she wasn’t as worried as before. freewebnøvel.com

After all, Zhengmin had already been through a relationship and had moved on successfully.

People need to experience certain things before they can truly grow.

Li Yunzhong was celebrating the New Year and came to visit with his elderly mother.

The negativity once on Li Yunzhong’s demeanor was gone, and now with thriving business, he was spirited and lively.

Today’s home appliance supermarket’s sales volume and revenue were three times that of last year, and the profits increased manifold.

He received a dividend of over one hundred thousand, and without hesitation, he asked Tiantian for help and then bought a house at a considerable distance from Maoer Alley.

Now they no longer lived in the employee dormitory above the appliance store; they had moved into their own home.

"Big brother, sister-in-law, thank you," Li Yunzhong said gratefully. "Without you, I wouldn’t even know what I would be doing right now."

He Tiantian chuckled and said, "It’s nothing, we’re friends. You protected Yingjie before, I should be thanking you. Now you help me work, you earn money, but I also earn money, right? We benefit each other."

"That’s also because big brother and sister-in-law gave me the opportunity," Li Yunzhong replied with a smile, forever grateful in his heart for He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie.

Li Daniang laughed and said, "Alright, Yunzhong, you don’t need to keep thanking us. You just need to work well for your sister-in-law in the future—that’s the way to repay us. You’re not getting any younger, isn’t it about time you started looking for a partner?"

"Mom, we’re here to celebrate the New Year, let’s not talk about this now," Li Yunzhong pleaded with a headache. At home, he was constantly urged to marry by his mother, and now at his brother and sister-in-law’s house, he was being rushed again.

"Hold your tongue," Li Daniang glared at her son. "If you could find a wife on your own, would I need to be making arrangements for you everywhere?"

Li Yunzhong was somewhat helpless.

"Hehe, Yunzhong, you can’t talk to Daniang like that. She’s doing it for your good. Besides, men should marry and women should wed," Tiantian followed with encouragement, considering Li Yunzhong wasn’t getting any younger.

At the same time, Tiantian genuinely admired Li Yunzhong’s character and hoped that he would find a good girl soon.

Li Yunzhong gave a bitter smile and looked towards Huo Yingjie.

Huo Yingjie laughed and said, "Don’t look at me, I also think it makes sense. When I was your age, I had both a son and a daughter already."

A critical hit of ten thousand points!

When these words were uttered, they made Li Daniang even more furious.

"That’s right, you should learn from Yingjie," Li Daniang said angrily. "Before, when you said work kept you busy and you had no time, I believed you. Now that the business is stable, even if you’re busy, you should have some time. Why not find a wife? Not to mention, any lively girl from our shop would do!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yunzhong hurriedly explained, "Mom, those are employees, please don’t say such things. Besides, it’s not just about finding someone to marry and have kids with, at the very least, I need to find someone I can communicate with."

"How is that casual? As long as I approve, I’ll get a matchmaker, follow all the traditional rites; we won’t skip a single step." Li Daniang said, feeling that her son was unreliable, and that she needed to take matters into her own hands.

"Mother!" Li Yunzhong was distressed and didn’t know what to say to his one and only old mother.

Seeing the joke had gone too far and Li Yunzhong’s face turning red, He Tiantian laughed and said, "Hehe, Li Daniang, times have changed now. In the past, once you got married, whether it was good or bad, you stayed married for life. But now, if things aren’t going well, people get divorced. So, before getting married, it’s important to be cautious and find someone with whom you share mutual affection. The goal is to be together for a lifetime after all, so it’s better to take your time searching for the right one. Finding someone you can have heart-to-heart talks with when you’re home after a busy day is better than anything else. If you end up with someone who can’t understand or reason with you, who causes trouble at home after you’ve been out working hard, who’s lazy and indifferent, it would make the household miserable. Marrying such a person is even worse than remaining single."

"Ah?" Li Daniang was taken aback. The lifelong hardworking old lady was scared by the thought. If it really was as He Tiantian described, and her son ended up with a bad wife, he would be living a life of suffering.

"Mother, what sister-in-law is saying is true," Li Yunzhong hastily added. "I just want to find a girl with shared aspirations. Life isn’t about marrying someone beautiful, but about finding someone you can really talk to, someone you’re compatible with."

"Hmm, that is true," Li Daniang said. "Sigh, after your father passed away, it’s just been us two. I’m in such a rush because I want to see you well-settled, especially since you’re not getting any younger. If we don’t take it seriously, all the good girls will be taken by others."

"Yes, Mother, I understand." Li Yunzhong smiled, pleased to see his mother relenting. "Mother, I promise to do well this year and find a girl to properly get to know."

"Mhm, alright, I’ll trust you this once," Li Daniang smiled and said. "Oh, and Tiantian, if you come across someone suitable, please let me know. Even though love is free now, introductions are still very reliable."

"Li Daniang, don’t worry, if there’s someone suitable, I’ll definitely reserve her for Yunzhong," He Tiantian laughed. She hoped for Li Yunzhong to have a happy family, whether it was because of Huo Yingjie’s relationship or simply because Li Yunzhong, as a person, was her business partner.

Finally, Li Daniang stopped pestering Li Yunzhong about marriage and talked about some family matters with He Tiantian.

Li Daniang was a chatty and industrious old lady.

Hearing that He Tiantian liked pot dishes, she personally made a pot of base soup to save for He Tiantian’s family to eat in the evening.

That afternoon, Li Yunzhong left with Li Daniang after saying their goodbyes.

He Tiantian sighed, "Ah, the profound love of parents! Li Daniang hopes her son could settle down soon so she can hold her grandchildren, sons or daughters, as early as possible."

"Indeed!" Huo Yingjie laughed, "But I guess it will be soon."

"What will be soon?" He Tiantian asked. "You mean Li Yunzhong’s wedding?"

"Yes, Li Yunzhong used to have neither the time nor the money, but now he’s got both time and money. Plus, the guy isn’t bad-looking. His other half is just a matter of time," Huo Yingjie laughed, explaining the feasibility superficially without revealing the actual reason.

"That makes sense," He Tiantian nodded, agreeing with Huo Yingjie.

Little did they know, it would take less than two months before Li Yunzhong came over, fidgeting.

"Big brother, sister-in-law, I... I’ve taken a liking to a girl," Li Yunzhong said shyly, coming to He Tiantian for help in pursuing her.

He Tiantian was surprised, goodness, that was fast.

"Ah?" He Tiantian was puzzled, "Which girl? What does she do?"

As the old saying goes, when destiny arrives, nothing can stop it.

He Tiantian had initially thought about playing matchmaker and helping Li Yunzhong look around.

But to her surprise, he had found someone on his own so quickly.
