You should know that the tea Li Xu bought from the city was defective.

Can this tea be given as a gift?

Fu Qing smiled and replied, "I can afford to buy it, but people don't dare to accept it, so I thought about giving him some defective products as a trial."

"Does he think tea is too expensive and therefore doesn't dare to accept it, or does he simply not accept gifts? Or maybe he doesn't like drinking tea?"

After thinking for a moment, Fu Qing said, "I often see him drinking tea, so it seems like he likes it, but I really don't know if he accepts gifts."

Li Xu was a little amused and said, "You don't even know if he accepts gifts or not, yet you dare to give him one?"

"What are you saying? Do I have to ask him if he accepts gifts before I give them to him?" Fu Qing asked unhappily, "Or should I ask someone else first? Do you think they'll tell me?"

What he said does make sense. Giving gifts is not a glorious thing. How could anyone tell him that?

Thinking of this, Li Xu asked, "Who are you going to give a gift to, and what do you want to do?"

"I gave a gift to my boss, hoping he would give me a temporary job."

"Are you asking for it from your relative?"

There are only four people in the Fu family. Except for Aunt Fu, the other three have stable jobs and do not need any temporary worker quota at all. Therefore, Li Xu thinks that this quota should be reserved for Fu's own relatives.

Unexpectedly, Fu Qing shook his head and whispered, "No, it's for Hongmei."

"Huh?" Li Xu's eyes almost popped out of his head. He stopped and looked at him in disbelief. "Tell me again, who is this for?"

"My future daughter-in-law, Ye Hongmei."

After confirming again, Li Xu was even more surprised, "Doesn't she have a job?"

"That job belongs to her mother. She's just taking over temporarily."

Although he didn't finish his words, Li Xu already understood.

To put it simply, Ye Hongmei's job is not her own, but belongs to the Ye family. They just let her take over temporarily.

Fu Qing was going to marry her soon, so she had to return the job.

After a moment of silence, he asked again, "Do Uncle Fu and the others know about this?"

"have no idea."

"Didn't the Ye family tell you about this before you two got engaged?"

"No, even I only found out about this a few days ago when I overheard their family conversation."

Hearing this answer, Li Xu was so angry that he started cursing, "Mm, their family is too much of a jerk, isn't this a marriage scam? Come on, follow me to find Aunt Fu and explain this clearly."

After saying that, he pulled Fu Qing out of the market.

You have to know that in this era, the treatment you receive from having a job and not having a job is different, and it can even be said to be a world of difference.

Simply put, Ye Hongmei was introduced to Fu Qing because she had a job. If she didn't have a job, she wouldn't even be qualified to have a blind date with Fu Qing unless her ancestors were very lucky.

The most important thing is that this incident shows that the Ye family has bad character.

After being dragged for a few steps, Fu Qing finally reacted and quickly leaned back to resist Li Xu's pull, shouting, "Old Li, let go quickly. We must not let them know about this."

Seeing him like this, Li Xu stopped and scolded him, "Don't you have a brain? Can you hide something like this?"

"I know I can't hide it, but things have already come to this, what can I do?" Fu Qing said with a sad face, his eyes full of pleading, "Lao Li, you are my eldest brother, closer to me than my own brother, you must not betray me."

Li Xu was so angry that he laughed, "Isn't this easy to handle? Since her family lied first, you have a reason to cancel the engagement. Even if the news gets out, no one will say anything."

"no."

Upon hearing the cancellation of the engagement, Fu Qing screamed, "It absolutely cannot be cancelled."

Li Xu was about to speak when he saw people gathering around him. So he swallowed what he was about to say and said, "Let's leave here first. It's not convenient to talk here. Let's find a quiet place and I'll talk to you."

Fu Qing looked around, then stopped resisting and let Li Xu pull him out of the crowd.

When they arrived at the market entrance, the guard checked the receipt for purchasing the hens and let them leave only after confirming that it was correct.

When the two of them arrived at the Li family's house, Li Xu handed the hen in his hand to Hu Guilan to settle down, and then took Fu Qing into his own house. After closing the door, he asked, "Tell me, are you planning to marry Ye Hongmei, and that's why you don't dare let Aunt Fu and the others know about this?"

Fu Qing's ears instantly turned red when he was told his real problem, but he still said stubbornly, "Who said that? I just think it's not a big deal and there's no need to let them know."

Li Xu glared at him and said unhappily, "I'm not blind, how could I not see your ears are so red? Even if you admit it, what will happen? Can I still eat you?"

Fu Qing closed his eyes, looking quite resigned. "Alright, I just want to marry her. Can you help me keep this a secret?"

"It's not that I don't want to help you, but I can't help you."

"Huh?" Fu Qing opened his eyes and looked at him in confusion. "Why not? Can't you just not tell my parents?"

Li Xu sighed and said helplessly, "I'm afraid that doing this will hurt you. Have you ever thought about it? Even the Ye family dared to conceal such a thing. What else would they not dare to do? Besides, are you willing to accept a daughter-in-law who is full of lies?"

Fu Qing shook his head subconsciously, and only stopped when he realized what was happening. He quickly defended the Ye family, "They didn't mean to deceive me."

"Do you believe this? If you hadn't accidentally discovered the truth, when do you think the Ye family would have told you?" Before Fu Qing could answer, Li Xu continued, "If I'm not mistaken, they wouldn't reveal the truth until you two got married. It would be even better if they could keep it a secret until Ye Hongmei got pregnant."

Fu Qing had been on many blind dates before, and now he finally met a girl he liked, so he was feeling dizzy. Li Xu could understand this.

If you want him to wake up, you have to tell him the sinister intentions of the Ye family.

If after hearing this, he still chooses not to tell his parents, then Li Xu has nothing to say...

After a long silence, Fu Qing said with a painful expression, "Actually, I understand everything you said, but I just don't want to believe it."

He didn't expect that Li Xu would explain the matter so thoroughly, leaving him unable to pretend any longer, so he had to reveal his cards.

Li Xu patted his shoulder and persuaded him, "Old Fu, some things can be forgiven, but some can't. To put it bluntly, even if Ye Hongmei told you about it after giving birth to your child, I don't think she would get a good result."
