"Qing'er, look at what you're asking. Isn't this an obvious thing? Who wants to be a bachelor by birth and live a lonely life alone!" Damo said with a blushing face.

"Brother Damo, I dream of being like these men outside the mountains. I go home after work, my wife prepares hot dishes and rice, and the children run all over the floor calling daddy. Hehe, that would be great!" He added

.

This grinning look shows off those crooked teeth. He really is a standard ugly man with an unattractive appearance!

This appearance is really different from Daping. It is really challenging to let Xiaoqin open her heart and fully accept Damo in a short period of time.

"Brother Damo, I want to ask you a question. You have to answer it honestly." Yang Ruoqing said again.

"Just ask," he said.

Yang Ruoqing found a place to sit down, "Brother Damo, how old are you exactly this year?"

Damo thought for a moment and said: "I am two years older than my brother-in-law Tang Yazi."

Yang Ruoqing calculated in her mind that Tang Yazi was now twenty-six, and Damo was twenty-eight.

"Brother Da Mo, you are already twenty-eight. Didn't Brother Mo really help you find a marriage for so many years in the mountains?" she asked.

When I went to Sishan'ao Village at that time, Lao Mo was the leader of that village and had some prestige in the village.

Eighty percent of the men in a village are single, but Lao Mo himself married a daughter-in-law named Cui Xi.

The hometowns of Cuixi and Cao Bamei are from the same village, Caojia'ao.

However, Cao Bamei was very lucky in her marriage and met Yang Yongjin, while Cui Xi was very pitiful. She married an old man who was old enough to be her father. In the end, the child died, she also died, and the man also died...

Hearing Yang Ruoqing's question, Damo lowered his head and smiled bitterly.

"My family's conditions are not good, and Sishan'ao Village is also poor. Girls from the mountains are not willing to marry into Sishan'ao Village." Damo said in a low voice.

"There are only two types of women who are willing to marry in Sishan'ao Village. One is like my deceased sister-in-law Cuixi, who is used to pay off debts."

"The other kind is the kind that the three brothers Ge Dadan pooled their money to buy from the mountains and bought the daughter-in-law Yu Jingui. They bought it back and the three brothers shared it together. It's disgusting!"

"Well, it's disgusting." Yang Ruoqing said.

"Brother Damo, go on and tell me your story," she said again.

Damo said: "Actually, when I was eighteen years old, that is, ten years ago, I almost got married. It's true, sister Qing'er, Damo is not bragging, it's true."

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Brother Damo, tell me quickly." Yang Ruoqing became interested and asked hurriedly.

Damo went to scratch his head out of habit, and found Yang Ruoqing staring at the tea bowl in his hand, so he quickly lowered his hand.

"I feel ashamed to say that when I was eighteen years old, I was about the same age as Xiao Mo now. I was also very ignorant and confused."

"But at that time, I wasn't as ugly as I am now." He said.

Pointing to his nose and mouth: "My nose was not crooked back then, and my mouth was not like this. Although my teeth are not white, they are fairly neat."

"It was something that happened later that made me so ugly."

"What?"

Yang Ruoqing was surprised and stared at Damo's face, which was asymmetrical because of its crooked nose.

"Are there any other unknown stories? Brother Damo, please continue!" she urged.

Damo nodded, frowned slightly, looked in the direction of the mountains behind him, and fell into memories.

"I was eighteen years old that year. I had endless strength and a fairly decent appearance."

"My aunt was married at that time in a village two ridges away from Sishan Col. That year my uncle broke his leg. It happened to be time to dig potatoes in the mountains, and there was no way to use human hands."

"My aunt sent a message to our three brothers. My eldest brother was busy doing housework at the time. Xiaomo was only eight years old and was still young. My eldest brother asked me to go to my aunt's house to help her collect the potatoes, so I

went."

"In my aunt's village, I met a woman. I can't even remember that woman's name now,"

"Her potato field is right next to my aunt's. From sunrise in the morning to sunset in the evening, we are all peeling potatoes together."

"My aunt wants to take care of my uncle at home, and I am the only one in the field. As for that woman, I noticed that she is the only one in her field, and there is no one to help her."

"Originally, we were all digging our own business, and no one talked to anyone else, but then a native snake was dug out of her field,"

"She was so frightened that I drove the snake away. To thank me, she came over to dig potatoes the next day and brought me a hot boiled egg."

"In the next few days, I peeled potatoes together, and I also helped her peel potatoes. She brought me delicious food in different ways every day,"

"I was thinking in my heart, how great it would be if I could marry her back as my wife. Her potatoes are so delicious."

"I mustered up the courage to go to her house to propose marriage. I was a young boy back then, and I wasn't as hesitant as I am now, but..."

"But what?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

"Her family won't agree!" he said.

"Who in her family wouldn't agree? Go show your courtesy and impress her family with your sincerity!" Yang Ruoqing said.

Damo said: "Her man didn't agree and even beat me up!"

"Nani?" Yang Ruoqing's eyes widened, thinking that she heard wrongly.

Damo pointed to his nose and continued: "My nose was hit by her man's fist, and it was smashed crookedly."

"My mouth was also deformed by being rubbed on the ground by his two brothers,"

"If my aunt and the others hadn't said nice things to me, my life would have almost ended there..."

"You deserve it!" Yang Ruoqing said angrily.

"You want to hook up with a married man? You deserve to be beaten to death!" Yang Ruoqing said directly.

Damo chuckled, looking ashamed.

"At that time, I was ignorant and ridiculous. I just saw that she was good-looking and treated me well, so I felt stupid..."

"You are really stupid!" Yang Ruoqing said again,

"I didn't ask beforehand whether the other party was a girl or a woman. Really, you deserve it!"

Damo smiled with a guilty look on his face, "Since then, I have become so ugly. For a while, I was a little scared when I saw women, and I didn't even dare to think about marriage."

"What about Xiaoqin? Do you dare to think about it?" Yang Ruoqing asked straight to the point.

Da Mo's face turned red and he wanted to shake his head, but Yang Ruoqing was the first to tell him about the story of sending fried dough sticks to Xiao Qin.

"Brother Damo, ten years have passed and you are now mature and sensible. You still have to think about what you should think about," she said.

"Xiao Qin is a hard-working woman, but she is a really nice person. If you are willing, I will help you pull this red line." She said again.

Damo bit his lip and looked at Yang Ruoqing in shock.

"Qing'er, do you think I'm worthy of Xiaoqin?" He asked very unconfidently.

"I am a toad and she is a swan..."

Yang Ruoqing interrupted him and said: "A toad that doesn't want to eat swan meat is not a qualified toad."

"Just nod or shake your head."

Damo looked at Yang Ruoqing blankly. After a moment, he nodded heavily, "I think so!"
