Although he knew in his heart that Li Kang had already gone far, he could not find anything except that he wanted to come back himself. The Li family also said that he had given up, but from time to time, he still went around the town.

After about a month, everyone gradually adapted to it. Li Kang had indeed run away from home and his life calmed down again, but no one dared to mention Li Kang in front of Zhou. Even though Zhou rushed to the temple for a few days and asked for a Bodhisattva to come back, the Li family didn't say anything, but silently offered two incense sticks in the morning and evening, and the tribute fruits were always constant.

On that day, Zhou suddenly called Li Zaoer over, and it seemed that he had something to say, but he didn't say anything for a long time. Li Zaoer asked strangely: "Mom, is there anything wrong?"

Zhou sighed and said, "I have been living a dark day these days, and I don't know what I have done in the day. Zaoer, have you seen Qiaoyu come to our house recently?"

Li Zaoer felt aroused in her heart. Qiaoyu's affairs were kept in her heart after she left Li Kang, but she didn't dare to speak. When Zhou mentioned it, she hurriedly said, "Speaking of it, Sister Qiaoyu has indeed not come for a while."

"You said, did she know about San'er?" Zhou asked.

Seeing that Zhou's expression was a little sad, but it was still calm, Li Zaoer said bluntly: "The town is so small. At that time, the eldest brother and the second brother made a big fuss to find the third brother. The rumors were probably spread all over the place. I think 99% of the news will be obtained from Sister Qiaoyu."

Upon hearing this, Zhou sighed again and shook his head.

Speaking of this, Li Zaoer could not see Zhou's concerns. "Are you thinking that since Sister Qiaoyu knows this, why haven't you seen each other all this time?"

Zhou smiled reluctantly and said, "It's really my mother's girl. I can't hide the things in my heart from you. This girl Qiaoyu is very fond of me. Your second brother is now a kiss, and I'm going to hold a wedding for them in a few days... But, I don't know when San'er will come back now when he goes here. Zaoer, what should you do now when your third brother's marriage? Retire the bride? How can you let the girl live? If you don't give up, what if... San'er's business is really a sin!"

Li Zaoer thought for a while and said, "Dad, do you have any ideas on this matter?"

Zhou said, "What's the idea? Your grandfather is old, and my mother dare not let him worry. Your father and brothers can't figure out the things about the girl's family? As for your sister-in-law..." She shook her head, "It's a good intention, but she can't come up with any ideas. Zaoer, please give your mother an idea."

"I know I feel sorry for Sister Qiaoyu. When the third brother leaves like this, it is the most difficult for Sister Qiaoyu to leave." Li Zaoer thought for a moment and said, "But, I think about it. Everyone in the town knows the engagement between Brother and Sister Qiaoyu. The third brother runs away and joins the army now is not a secret. In the town, there were also people who joined the army calmly, ranging from three to five years to ten to eight years. When he leaves, he can't tell when he comes back..." She held Zhou's hand tightly, noticed that she was trembling slightly, and even made a lighter voice, saying, "Mom, now everyone understands that this marriage is not going to retreat, and there is no difference between retreating."

"What is this?" Zhou asked in surprise.

Li Zaoer said: "Mom, people are talking about it. Now there are rumors outside, and I have never dared to tell you."

"What did you say?" Zhou asked hurriedly.

"It sounds nice, it means that the third brother has ambition. In the future, Sister Qiaoyu may be a general's wife. This is much worse. Those who are widowed or merciful. Some of them also say that the third brother dislikes Sister Qiaoyu, saying that Sister Qiaoyu can't keep men or something, and..." Li Zaoer looked at Zhou's anger and trembled all over, and hurriedly stopped talking. "Don't be angry, those sisters, sister gossips, all the time, and they are like this. So, Sister Qiaoyu... no matter what, she will definitely be wronged."

If Qiaoyu waits for Li Kang, she will be a widow; if she does not wait, she will be not loyal enough. In short, the rural customs are conservative. After a girl gets engaged, no matter why she breaks the engagement, others always have something to say when it is spread.

Zhou also knew in her heart that the words of the wind were bound to be inevitable. She couldn't be angry and could not control her. In the end, she had to sigh repeatedly, "I'm really sorry Qiaoyu. Ah..." She suddenly came up with an idea and said, "By the way, Zaoer, you said, why don't you let your fourth brother marry Qiaoyu back?"

Li Zaoer was stunned for a moment. Although she thought this idea was ridiculous, she actually knew that at this time, this method was not bad. It was just... "Will the Fourth Brother and Sister Qiaoyu agree?"

"Si'er disagrees, I'll break his leg!" Zhou said sternly: "As for Qiaoyu's side... there is no reason to disagree, right?"

Li Zaoer said silently. That's it. Although she felt that Qiaoyu was pitiful in this kind of atmosphere, people's words were terrifying, and the pressure of long-term rumors was not something that anyone could bear. If she could really marry Li De, it might be a good thing. It just depends on whether Qiaoyu was obsessed with Li Kang. She couldn't grasp what Qiaoyu thought about this woman.

Seeing that Li Zaoer didn't say anything, Zhou thought she agreed, and suddenly felt very happy and said happily: "I'll tell Aunt Qiu now."

"Oh, mom!" Li Zaoer hurriedly stopped her and said with a funny look: "Mom! Don't be so anxious. According to me, you can't go to this matter."

"Why can't you go?"

Li Zaoer held Zhou's arm and said, "Although you didn't know about the third brother's departure, you finally felt sorry for our Li family. Sister Qiaoyu hasn't come once, so I might think what I think. My mother is over here and talk about this. If Sister Qiaoyu doesn't want to, the two things will make you complain, will it be a mess!"

Zhou said: "Actually, I feel shameless, but I can't just hide and not give the girl an explanation, right? At least, I have to accompany me."

Li Zaoer smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry, this matter is better. I'll go there first and find Sister Qiaoyu to find out. I've always got along well with Sister Qiaoyu. She always asks me to write letters or something. I think, I bring more gifts and greet people with a smile, so she won't turn against me as soon as she meets me. At that time, I will tell you about the matter. If Sister Qiaoyu is willing, everyone will be happy. If she doesn't want to, I will say that this is my own blind idea, and Mom will have room to return. What should I do next? Let's find a way."

Zhou thought about it carefully and said, "This is a good word, this idea is good!" She looked at Li Zaoer happily and pulled her to the Forget House and said, "Come on, last time your second brother brought your second sister-in-law over, I don't like your second brother as a wife, so I didn't give her some things. Just so happen, you can pick up two suitable ones and go quickly."
