Chapter 185 Choice
If you really want to look into it carefully, it is probably because he said it too suddenly, so that the Song family is unable to accept it now.

Perhaps, if sister-in-law thinks about it again, she can figure it out...

Li Shuisheng walked back in despair.

Song walked all the way to the street, and when she was sure that Li Shuisheng was not chasing her, she gradually slowed down her pace.

The words that Li Shuisheng had just said kept echoing in Song's mind, giving her a splitting headache and making her feel very uncomfortable.

Ever since she married into the Li family, she began to take care of her young brother-in-law. To be frank, she treated him like half a son and raised him.

After her parents-in-law passed away, Song pushed herself into the position of "mother" and spared no effort to take care of them.

After settling down in Jinqiu County, Song was fully focused on planning for Li Shuisheng to get married and start a family, hoping that he would live a peaceful and smooth life in the future.

But now...

Li Shuisheng actually wanted to marry her!

How could this be?
When did she start to have this idea? Did she do something wrong that caused Li Shuisheng to misunderstand her, or did someone say something behind her back?
Song's mind was completely in a mess.

Winter nights are exceptionally cold. Even though the wind is not strong at this time, it feels like a knife, causing pain when it blows across the cheeks.

Such a cold wind also made Song sober up a little from his complicated thoughts.

Stopping, Song saw the sign of Qianji shop next door.

Before she knew it, she had arrived here.

But where will she go next?
Where should she go?
Song was a little confused, but also a little sad because it seemed that she had nowhere to go now.

"Madam Song, why are you here?" Zhou was a little surprised when she saw Madam Song.

Song was also surprised to run into Zhou on the street so late at night, "What are you doing..."

"My parents-in-law asked me to go to my aunt's house to deliver something, and I just came out." Zhou explained with a smile, and when she saw Song's sad face, she asked, "Did something happen to you?"

"No, nothing." Song waved her hands repeatedly.

"You looked unhappy in the afternoon, and now you look like you've been crying. Something must have happened to you." Zhou took Song's arm and said, "Come on, let's go sit at my house first. If you have anything to say, tell me and I'll help you to relieve it..."

Zhou was extremely enthusiastic and Song was a little reluctant. Thinking that they had nowhere to go at the moment, she followed Zhou to her home first.

After arriving home, Zhou poured her a cup of hot tea and took Song to the inner room to talk.

After the heat subsided, Song's body gradually warmed up and her complexion became much better.

"What happened? If you need help, please tell us. We may be able to lend a hand." Zhou said.

Song stammered for a long while, and finally let out a sigh, "Actually, it's not my business. I just heard about it, and ended up arguing with others about it. I can't figure it out, and I feel really depressed."

"What are you arguing about?" Zhou became more confused.

Song is a kind and modest person who never causes trouble. Even if he suffers a loss occasionally, he always thinks that it is a blessing. How could such a person argue with others?

What kind of thing is this... "There is a woman whose child died at the age of three, and her husband also died the next year. She has been a widow for several years. Now someone from outside wants to propose marriage, and her brother-in-law also wants to propose marriage. The woman doesn't know what to do..." Song bit her lip.

"So that's what it is." Zhou suddenly realized.

This woman's situation is somewhat similar to that of Mrs. Song, so it's no wonder that she would argue with others.

"Actually, there's nothing to argue about." Zhou smiled, "It all depends on who the woman likes or who will benefit her the most from marrying. She'll marry that person."

"But..." Song gritted her teeth, "Do I have to choose one to marry?"

Can’t you just not get married?

"What else?" Zhou was surprised. "It would have been fine if no one proposed marriage before, and it would have been fine if the court did not allow remarriage, but now someone has proposed marriage, and the court also allows remarriage, why not marry? Do you want to live a lonely life?"

"But Aunt Feng has been a widow for most of her life and has never remarried." Song argued.

"That's different. Aunt Feng has two nephews, so she has hope in the future. But this woman has no children, so who can she rely on in the future?" Zhou said, "She should remarry while she is still young and give birth to a child. Then she will have hope in the future."

Song fell silent for a moment.

"If you think what I said is wrong, why not ask someone else to see if everyone thinks the same way." Zhou smiled and said, "Otherwise, you can ask my mother-in-law."

After hesitating for a moment, Song and Zhou went to find her mother-in-law Chen to ask.

Chen's answer was exactly the same as Zhou's, and she added, "You are still young, and you are not afraid of anything now. You will know how difficult it will be in the future. You must not get stuck in a dead end."

"Mrs. Song, your thoughts are biased. Please don't say such things again, lest that woman decide not to marry and ruin her life..."

If I don't get married, I will be harmed for the rest of my life?

Song's eyes widened.

After staying at Zhou's house for a while, Song finally got up and said goodbye.

Zhou saw Song out the door and only came back after she left the alley.

After arriving home, he couldn't help but sigh, "Mrs. Song is usually very kind, but now she is so stubborn, it's really rare."

"It's nothing rare. People are most likely to be like this when they encounter problems. It's better to figure it out as soon as possible." Chen sighed, "I'm just worried that she won't figure it out and will want to learn from you or Sister Feng. That would be inappropriate."

Zhou found this a bit strange. After pondering for a long time, she widened her eyes and asked, "Mother, you mean, the woman that Madam Song is talking about is her?"

"Mrs. Song usually never talks about others behind their backs, so why would she argue with others? And I heard someone say a few days ago that someone saw Mrs. You go to her house. It's probably because someone wants to propose to Mrs. Song."

Chen said, "But we just need to know about this, and we can't tell anyone else."

If others are willing to speak out what is in their heart, it means they trust you. But if you are not careful with your words and spread them everywhere, then it is your fault.

Not only will you hurt other people's feelings, but you will also suffer no good consequences. What's the point?
Zhou nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, mother. I will never tell anyone."

"I just don't know who Madam Song will marry..."

"It doesn't matter who she marries." Chen sighed and said, "For a woman, it's hard to make a living outside. Fortunately, she met a good boss like Madam Xia. If she didn't have Madam Xia, she wouldn't know if she could live well. If she marries early, she can have a family. With mutual support, she can survive in this world."
