Chapter 523: Chapter 524: It’s Time to Settle Down and Start a Family

As for finding a wife, he was in no rush.

After tucking in the two little ones, he and Ma Xiulian turned to leave and closed the door behind them.

But Ma Xiulian was anxious: "You’re already twenty-five, Fourth. It’s high time you settled down."

In the countryside, a man of twenty-five was often married with a child who was old enough to help out in the kitchen!

Chen Jianjun laughed a bit: "Mom, I’m really not in a hurry, and I haven’t found anyone suitable."

Ma Xiulian was momentarily at a loss for words. As Fourth had a good job and decent looks, it was only right he finds an equally good wife!

More importantly, he needed to find someone kind and gentle, who would love Guibao as their own daughter.

Considering this, Ma Xiulian found that none of the girls from the local communes seemed to fit the bill.

So, she suggested, "Next time I go to town, I’ll ask Honghong to look out for a suitable girl. If she finds anyone, we can arrange a meeting."

Nowadays, except for the fact they didn’t live in town, their family conditions were pretty much on par with the townspeople.

Chen Jianjun pondered for a moment, then said, "Alright, we’ll do it your way."

In the dark, Gu Tingyun held the soft little hand in his, and once the outside fell quiet, he whispered, "Guibao, goodnight."

"Goodnight," Helian Qiao responded in her sweet, soft voice, her eyes tightly closed.

Two seconds later, her breathing became long and even.

Feeling the pleasant warmth of her body and her familiar baby scent, Gu Tingyun was also soon lulled to sleep.

At this moment, Sanni was lulling Jinbao to sleep in the old house.

She took care of him during the two months when Li Chunhua visited her parents, so Jinbao wasn’t crying for his mother now.

Xiaobao had been playing outside all day and had already fallen into a deep sleep as well.Evening

When Jinbao also fell asleep, Chen Jianye looked at Sanni and lowered his voice, "Sanni, I’m sorry you’re suffering so much. If I had known about what happened, I would have stopped it."

No matter what, he wouldn’t have allowed his daughter to be sold off as a young concubine.

Sanni just looked at Jinbao and answered in a flat tone, "Hmm."

She had long given up on her father and hadn’t even considered seeking his help when she was sold off.

Now, she was focused on studying hard and earning money so she could leave this home, and take good care of Guibao and respect her grandparents!

Because Jinbao bore some resemblance to Guibao, Sanni quite enjoyed having him around.

Chen Jianye knew that Sanni was suffering in her heart and didn’t take her cold attitude to heart. He just sighed and said, "Your mother... she won’t be coming back."

He wondered how Chunhua was in the Li household. At least with the grains and oil they provided, and a hundred yuan on her, Chunhua should be getting enough to eat.

"She’s not my mother!" Sanni said firmly without changing her expression.

The moment Li Chunhua sold her off, she stopped being her mother!

Chen Jianye frowned at her, wanting to say something but also realizing that Chunhua had indeed wronged their elder daughter.

Sanni was still a child, he reasoned, and it was normal for her to have such extreme thoughts after such a traumatic event.

So, he dismissed the thought, "It can’t be helped now. Now that Chunhua is gone, you’ll have to work harder at home. I’ll make sure to earn enough money for you and your little brother."

Having said this, he handed her the key to the kitchen cabinet.

Although he sounded determined, he was actually quite worried.

When he and Chunhua were both working, it was just enough to feed the family. Now that he was the only one working, how was he supposed to feed four mouths!
