When cousin Lin Shuang's parents passed away, she was adopted by Lin Man's parents and became the family's darling.
Lin Man, on the other hand, became the sandwiched punching bag,...
Chapter 153: Going to the Ling Family to Propose Marriage (Page 1/2)
After Ling Fei figured it out, she stopped struggling and resisting. After all, she grew up in her grandparents' home and knew very well that her grandparents and uncles and aunts were the ones who really cared about her.
Look at Brother Hat again, he is a pilot. Not only is he handsome, but he also has a good family background and a promising future.
Instead of letting my parents arrange my life events at random, it would be better to get engaged to this guy first and deal with the future later.
Because of the beating incident, she was criticized and lost her job in the art troupe.
When her parents found out about this, they rushed over angrily and started scolding her.
What made Ling Fei even more heartbroken was that they actually said without thinking that if she had given the art troupe's registration form to her sister, she would not have found out about this. They did not have such a shameful daughter like her.
In that family, she always seemed to be in an awkward position of being dispensable.
No matter how hard she tried, she could not get the recognition and love of her parents and brothers.
They always favored the well-behaved and docile older sister and constantly compared the two: the older sister was gentle, while they had a quick temper and were easily angered; the older sister was diligent and studious with excellent grades, while they were lazy and unmotivated.
My sister is naturally beautiful and eloquent. Although she is beautiful, she is not good at speaking and never knows how to please the elders...
Huo Qingyan was originally a little angry with Ling Fei, but when he saw that she remained silent after being lectured by her aunt, he didn't expect that this little girl would be so obedient.
Seeing her son stunned, Xiao Ya said, "I've already agreed with your Aunt Zhao that you two should get engaged before the New Year, and then get the marriage certificate when Feifei is old enough."
Huo Qingyan couldn't object since the elders were around, so he said, "Mom, the New Year is just a few days away."
"We just need to get it resolved quickly in a few days. Everyone will be busy after the New Year."
Huo Qingyan saw that his mother had made up her mind and it was pointless for him to object, so he decided not to object. After all, the little girl's birthday was still a year away.
Seeing that Ling Fei and Huo Qingyan remained silent, Xiao Ya and Zhao Hongmei looked at each other and thought that there might be a chance between the two of them. A year was enough time for them to talk, and they hoped that they could get along well in the next year.
The next day, Zhao Hongmei came to Xiao Ya and asked her to take Huo Qingyan to the Ling family to propose marriage.
"Xiaoya, Feifei has returned to the Ling family. If you want to propose marriage, go to the Ling family. My father-in-law has already notified them."
"Where is the Ling family?"
"The city government compound. I'll go with you anytime you propose."
"Let's go the day after tomorrow!"
"Okay, we'll go together then."
When Xiao Ya returned home, she told Huo Junshan and Huo Qingyan about this matter. Xiao Ya suddenly thought of the betrothal gift issue, and her target Huo Qingyan said:
"At the beginning, your sister-in-law's adoptive parents gave her 500 yuan as a betrothal gift, and later they gave her another 500 yuan, as you know.
This time we also plan to give the Ling family a betrothal gift of 500 yuan, and save the other 500 yuan for Ling Fei."
Huo Qingyan looked at Xiao Ya with a strange expression, "Mom, when you went to the Bai family to propose marriage, you didn't even mention giving Bai Shanshan an extra 500 yuan."
Xiao Ya raised her eyebrows, "Do you think she's worthy? Your father and I didn't like her from the beginning. Isn't it okay for us to look down on her even more when we see the faces of their family members? Are you still thinking about her and fighting for her?"
"Mom, where did you go? I started dating her because you guys pushed me into it. I just thought she danced well and had a gentle personality, so I just decided on her.

As for how deep the feelings are, there's no such thing. If I truly loved her to death, I would marry her even if her parents were murderers, right? "
Xiao Ya smiled coldly, "Who forced you? By the way, we will pay for the betrothal gift. If the girl's family makes other requests, you will pay for it yourself.
Anyway, whatever I spend on your eldest brother, we will spend on your wedding. Your younger brother is still young, so we have to save some money for him as well."
"Thanks, Mom. I understand."
On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar year, Huo Qingyan borrowed a car and drove Xiao Ya, Huo Junshan and Zhao Hongmei to the Ling family.
Ling Fei's parents both work in government agencies. Her eldest brother Ling Feng works as a secretary for a leader, and her second brother Ling Xi works in a hospital.
After Ling Fei was admitted to the art troupe, her mother spent a lot of money and asked someone to use their connections to get her sister Ling Yue into the propaganda department of the agency.
Zhao Hongmei and the Huo family knocked on her sister-in-law's door, and it was Ling Fei who came out to open the door.
"Aunt, Aunt Xiao, Uncle Huo, you're here, please ask for leave!"
Seeing that Ling Fei didn't call him, Huo Qingyan took the initiative to put the cigarettes and alcohol in her hands. Ling Fei took them without saying anything.
After entering the house, Ling Zhigao and Ye Lan asked everyone to sit down. The parents of both sides greeted each other and sat down to drink tea.
Zhao Hongmei asked Ye Lan with a smile, "Big sister, are Yueyue and Xiaofeng still off work?"
Ye Lan responded, "Sister-in-law, Yueyue is going to the department store with her boyfriend at noon.
Xiaofeng took his wife and baby to give New Year gifts to his father-in-law. As for Xiaoxi, she won't be back until the evening, so she'll have lunch in the hospital cafeteria.
Whenever Ye Lan talked about her children, she always smiled happily, and Xiao Ya beside her could naturally feel this joy deeply.
"My in-laws are so lucky. Each of their children is more outstanding than the other!" Xiao Ya exclaimed sincerely.
"You're too kind. Our Yueyue has grown up with her two brothers since she was young. They are indeed very outstanding."
Ye Lan's lips curled up slightly, and after she finished speaking, her eyes involuntarily drifted to Huo Qingyan, who had come to their family to propose marriage. "Your son is really handsome. I heard he's a pilot, right?"
Xiao Ya smiled and nodded in agreement, then continued, "Yes, my son is indeed a pilot. My dear, since we are here to propose marriage today, let's first discuss the betrothal gift!"
Hearing this, Ye Lan couldn't help but feel a little regretful. It would have been great if her father had introduced this handsome pilot to her daughter Yueyue.
Yesterday, the eldest brother drove over specially to inform them that the Huo family would come to propose marriage today. She originally refused, but the eldest brother said that if they did not agree, they would let the man’s family go to the Ye family to propose marriage.
That silly girl Ling Fei is only 17 years old. I don’t know what’s wrong with her parents to get her engaged so early.
Ye Lan asked tentatively, "Our Ling Fei is only seventeen. Isn't it too early to get engaged?"
Xiao Ya didn't understand what Ye Lan meant. Did he not want this marriage to go through?
Zhao Hongmei frowned and glanced at Ye Lan, "Sister, Feifei will have her 18th birthday meal after the New Year, and then you can get the marriage certificate when you turn 18 next winter."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at her brother-in-law Ling Zhigao again and said, "Brother-in-law, the Huo family has come to propose marriage, so you should also say, if it's successful, it's successful, if it's not successful, it's not successful."
