Chapter - 17 - I Want To Live With You

"I have recognized you as my wife. As my wife I should give you my money and didn't you also say that in front of everyone just now." Yi Minghuan continued to explain: 

"This is all my money. I have saved over 700 yuan over these years. Soon I will seperate my household account and we will find a place to live. This money could then be used."

Holding the money, Tang Li was shocked, moved, and warm. She felt that what she was holding was not a few hundred dollars, but a man's full trust and recognition for her, as well as a heavy responsibility! 

"I said that you should give me your money just to get that wicked mother-in-law angry! Actually, this is the first time I met you. We don't know each other well, and we don't have feelings for each other.

What's more, you didn't even know that we were married back then, and we didn't get a certificate. You, why do you really treat me as your wife... and treat me so well?" 

She asked in a somewhat agitated tone. She looked up at him expecting an explanation from him.

After hearing her words, he frowned in confusion, and said a rare long series of words: 

"Your thinking is very strange. Who did you this learn from? You don't look like a girl in the village! Here, the marriage certificate is not important, as long as you pay homage, in the eyes of others, you are my wife. 

Before marriage, it is always a matchmaker passing on information about each other. It would be nice if a man and a woman can meet each other, but they don't understand each other and have no feelings for each other. 

Before I came back, I had the idea of breaking up with you, thinking that you don't need to stay in my house as a widow, because I won't come back. 

However, now that I'm home and I see you, I think you're a good girl, so I plan to recognize you as my wife, treat you well, and live with you. Do you want to leave or live with me?" 

Tang Li heard him say so much and her first reaction was that he could talk so much, but immediately after, she was moved by the simple and sincere words of the other party. 

"I think so because a female educated youth in the village said that people in the city advocate free love, and that a man and a woman must understand each other and have feelings for each other before they get married. She also said that if you don't get a marriage certificate, you are not considered a husband and wife." 

She dumped the blame of 'avant-garde thinking' on Xiao Ru, continued to stare at him with clear eyes, and said frankly: "Before I met you today, I was afraid that my husband would be a bad person. But after seeing you, I feel at ease. You are a very good man, you saved me, you treated me well, and now you really willing to give all your money to me! I also believe that you will be a good husband, and I want to live a good life with you!" 

Yi Minghuan hummed, feeling a little happy in his heart, because he found that Tang Li was really educated, reasonable, sincere and polite.

Although she could also scold fiercely, she and those women who only swear loudly or make petty temper tantrums are not the same! 

He is very satisfied to have such a wife who can speak calmly and understand him a little bit. 

At this moment, he even felt that the only good thing Gu Xiulan did to him was to marry Tang Li back for him without asking his opinion. 

"Ahem... I haven't finished yet. I want to live with you, but there is a condition." She coughed lightly and said. 

Yi Minghuan nodded and motioned for her to say.

"Although I know that the family customs are like this and that the couple generally get together as soon as they get married, but right now we don't have any relationship between us." She endured embarrassment and shame, peeked at him, and tried to express herself clearly:

"I don't want to have relations right now. I want to get along with you for a while. When we have a deep relationship, I think it's suitable for us to..... Do you agree?"....
