Chapter 903: Chapter 903 My Arsenic

"Old Li, you be the judge, what’s wrong with a mother choosing a good husband for her son," Duan Aihua felt very wronged.

"Choosing someone I don’t love and forcing me to marry him, is that what a mother does? Even the feudal society wasn’t so cruel."

"Enough, enough, let me handle this. Both of you calm down and let me mediate, okay?"

Gu Shuangshuang and Duan Aihua glanced at each other and finally both nodded. "Okay."

"That’s settled then." Li Youjun walked up to Gu Shuangshuang, and said to her, "Give me two days to investigate him. If I am convinced that he is a decent person, I can help you persuade your mom to agree to you marrying him."

"Really?" Gu Shuangshuang could hardly believe her own ears.

"Of course, it’s true."

"Fine, then it’s a deal." Gu Shuangshuang reached out her hand, "Pinky swear!"

Li Youjun’s words were very effective, Gu Shuangshuang was pacified, and she was quiet all evening without arguing with Duan Aihua.

When it was time to go to bed, Duan Aihua and Li Youjun discussed the matter in their bedroom.

"Today you agreed to this matter too readily. You didn’t get my consent, how can you make decisions for her behind my back?"

"Stop arguing with Shuangshuang." Li Youjun looked at her with some worry, "In fact, Shuangshuang’s temper is just like yours. Both of you can’t be forced but persuaded with reason. She’s an adult now and obviously has her own standards of judgment. I will check Tian Niu’s background thoroughly, and if he really is a good kid, then you should agree to it."

"What benefits has she given you that you’re so on her side?" Duan Aihua was displeased with Li Youjun for taking the wrong position, "I am doing this for her own good."

"There’s a saying; what is poison to me is honey to others. What you see as bad might be a treasure through someone else’s eyes. You can’t always use your own standards to measure the world through other people’s eyes."

"Are you saying that I am at fault here?" Duan Aihua was completely unconvinced.

"The mistake is indeed yours. Your views on social status are too strong; you can only see the short term, not the long-term!" Li Youjun spoke frankly, "In my eyes, you are a perfect woman. But on this matter with Shuangshuang, you have surprised me. On this issue, I stand with Shuangshuang."

Duan Aihua hung her head shamefully at Li Youjun’s sincere words.

She didn’t want to be seen as a snob in Li Youjun’s eyes.

Gu Shuangshuang really had the same temperament as her, and her domineering approach was not going to stop her.

Therefore, Duan Aihua sighed deeply, "Old Li, I trust you. Go and investigate Tian Niu, and if you think he’s alright, then let’s do as Gu Shuangshuang wishes. She can marry whoever she wants."

"Ah, now you’re talking."

.........

Meanwhile, in Tian Family village, just after Tian Niu had sent Gu Shuangshuang away, they received a visitor at home.

It was none other than the parents of Cuihua from the same village.

He had heard about the breakup between Tian Niu and his girlfriend from somewhere.

So, he quickly brought his daughter over to propose marriage.

"Old sister-in-law! Geez, working in the yard in this hot weather?" On entering, Cuihua’s mother saw Tian Niu’s mother squatting on the ground, taking advantage of the midday sun to dry wild mushrooms they had picked from the mountains.
