Li Yunqiang sighed inwardly; he didn't want things to be this way, but living the rest of his life alone was simply impossible.
From the second brother, he could already see that expecting them to take care of him in old age was out of the question.
The next day, he told his second brother about having registered the marriage.
"You're nearly old enough to be a grandfather. I won't say much; just make your own decisions."
"Hmm, got it."
"She's still a young girl; you really have to treat her well. By the way, do you have enough money?"
"It's enough, don't worry."
Li Yunqiang's remarriage stirred a wave in the village; everyone knew he had married a young educated youth.
"Well done, Yunqiang. You've managed to marry a young girl."
Li Yunqiang simply smiled. What else could he say? His wife was his own, and he was quick to defend her, never speaking a bad word.
"Yunqiang, we're just waiting for the wedding celebration."
"Sure, I'll definitely invite you for drinks."
