Chapter 9 Dreaming of Having Children

However, Wang Xiaoshuai soon thought of Li Yufen.

As soon as he thought about never being able to marry Yufen once he married Luo Peilan, his eyes regained clarity.

"Thank you, Sister Peilan, for holding me just now and preventing me from falling."

"It's nothing, I was just coming out," Luo Peilan said, her peach blossom eyes still sizing up Wang Xiaoshuai.

The more she looked, the more she liked him, and she couldn't help saying, "Grandpa Wang, I have no issues on my end."

"Rest assured, if I marry into your Wang family, I will surely get along well with Xiaoshuai and be as filial to you as he is."

"It's just that I don't know about Xiaoshuai..."

Luo Peilan said this and shyly glanced at Wang Xiaoshuai.

She had really not expected Wang Xiaoshuai to be so handsome and muscular, clearly full of strength...

Glancing at the shy and timid Luo Peilan, the old rogue immediately showed a happy smile, nodding continuously and saying, "Very well, then it's settled. Don't mind this youngster; I can still call the shots for him. Shall we go pick a good date now?"

Seeing how quickly Grandpa Wang had made the decision, Wang Xiaoshuai's heart immediately filled with urgency.

Although he quite liked Luo Peilan, the woman he truly wanted to have in his heart was Li Yufen.

Just as he was about to say something, another woman cut in ahead of him.

"So quickly seeing eye to eye, that's really something hahaha..."

Wang Xiaoshuai turned his head and immediately saw a plump, heavily made-up middle-aged woman coming over with a big smile.

The woman was none other than the matchmaker from Chentang Village, renowned not for her looks but her ability to talk and persuade.

She had previously introduced a few prospects to Wang Xiaoshuai, but none had been successful. So when she heard Old Master Wang mention the matter was settled, her heart was filled with joy.

She had finally managed to marry off this youngster!

"Haha, it is indeed not easy, and Peilan really has excellent conditions. I very much like this granddaughter-in-law," the old rogue said, clapping his hands. "Alright, let's not stand at the entrance any longer, let's go inside and discuss how to arrange their wedding."

Seeing the three of them enter the yard without him, Wang Xiaoshuai was so angry he almost spat blood.

He estimated that Li Yufen would soon finish her vocal exercises and come home to cook. If he didn't turn down this marriage now, there would really be no room to maneuver.

With that thought, he quickly grabbed the old rogue and took him outside the yard, saying urgently, "Grandpa, what's the rush, I... I'm still so young, can we not get married for now?"

"What about being young? Does being young mean you don't need to find a wife?" the old rogue glared with wide eyes, reprimanding him.

Confronted with the old rogue's sharp gaze, Wang Xiaoshuai couldn't help but shrink his neck.

He forced an ugly smile and said, "Grandpa, I think we should wait a bit. I don't have a proper livelihood right now."

"With nothing to my name, if I took a wife, I wouldn't be able to give her a good life. Let's wait until I've earned enough money to get married."

"Nonsense!"

Who would have known, after hearing this, the old rogue cursed again.

Then he grabbed his stick, threatening to hit him, and said, "You scoundrel, you still want to be crafty at this point. Are you still thinking about Yufen?"

"I've told you bluntly, Peilan is a good woman. Even though her husband died, her horoscope does not jinx to husband, so whether you want to or not, you have to marry her!"

"Please Grandpa, it's not about Yufen this time. I just feel I'm too young and don't know how to take care of someone else. Can you give me more time to think about it?"

"Out of the question!"

The old rogue rejected him outright, "Who do you think you are to need more time to think?"

"Peilan is such a catch, with looks and figure, and she has no children. If she truly marries you, you should count your lucky stars!"

"Grandpa, please, let me decide my own marriage, okay?" Seeing that the old rogue was unwavering, Wang Xiaoshuai's eyes reddened in desperation.

He dared not be forceful, for fear of angering the old rogue, who might push him into marrying Luo Peilan, leaving him no choice but to comply.

After all, he owed his life to the old rogue. Though not related by blood, in his heart, the old rogue had long become his real grandpa!

"You decide? Haven't you made enough decisions over the years?"

"Day in and day out, if you're not sneaking peeks with that old rogue Liu Meng at young wives bathing, you're loitering around widows' walls. You've embarrassed me completely!"

The old rogue glared at him fiercely, then glancing towards Luo Peilan and the others, he lowered his voice and sternly asked, "Give it to me straight, have you decided on Yufen for life?"

Wang Xiaoshuai clenched his teeth, knowing that if he denied it now, there would truly be no chance left.

Also glancing at Luo Peilan, who with her naturally flirtatious manner was looking over with the matchmaker in confusion, he steeled himself and said, word by word,

"Grandpa, I really do like Sister Yufen. I dream about having children with her!"
