Chapter 167 Heirloom

After spending a few years in the countryside, Xu Lai Di actually did build up her body.

After Su Fang drank a few bowls of spicy ginger soup, she broke out in hot sweats. Although she has a cough and is weak now, overall it's not a big deal.

Someone came to the house of old bachelor Liu, and what was outrageous was that he brought with him a basket of dried vegetable leaves and two eggs.

Others who see him think he is shabby and stingy.

Of course, there was also a box in the basket, and she kept saying that the box contained a family heirloom.

The mother of the bachelor Liu was smiling all the way. She told everyone she met that she was going to see her future daughter-in-law and even shook the box.

"This is a gift from our ancestors to my daughter-in-law. I will use it to propose to my future daughter-in-law today."

"Hey, can you show us what treasure this old lady Liu has passed down from her ancestors?"

Mrs. Liu covered the box with her hands, looking mysterious: "No, this won't do. Only my future daughter-in-law can see it. We can't break the rules."

Old bachelor Liu was laughing happily beside them.

He is obviously only in his thirties, but he is hunched over and his face looks more like he is in his forties.

In short, after she spread the word, everyone knew that she had brought the ancestral treasure to Xu Lai Di to propose marriage.

There were many people following the mother and son, all of whom came to watch the show.

As soon as she stepped into the gate of the Youth League Home, Old Lady Liu shouted in a festive voice.

"Laidi, Laidi, Dakang and I are here to see you, and we'd like to talk about your marriage with Dakang."

Xu Lai Di in the room had a grim expression on her face. She decided to pretend to be sick and not go out.

She didn't want to marry that old bachelor Liu! When no one came out, Old Lady Liu was not in a hurry. Instead, she chatted with other people in the Youth League.

"You have been with my daughter Lai Di for such a long time, can you tell her what she likes? When she becomes my daughter-in-law, my family will not treat her badly."

Although they were just chatting about family matters, the voices were loud enough that Xu Laidie could hear them.

She could hear the sound even though she was covered with the quilt.

"My son is good in every way, except that he has a hard life. It's also my fault that I, as a mother, can't give him a good life, so he hasn't been able to find a wife until now.

Now, Xu Zhiqing and my son are hugging, kissing, and touching each other in front of everyone. Our family will not be the unfaithful one. We must marry her back. Otherwise, wouldn’t that ruin Xu Zhiqing’s innocence?”

Xu Laidi was not someone who could endure it at all. How could she sit still after hearing that Old Lady Liu outside was saying such bad things about her reputation?

Song Wei and the old ladies gathered together and asked, "Guess when she will come out?"

Aunt Wang clicked her tongue twice: "I guess it will be soon."

Sure enough, not long after, Xu Laidi ran out of the room.

She looked angry: "What are you talking about? I admit that it was Liu Dakang who saved me, but I didn't say I wanted to marry her!"

Song Wei sneered. If it were her brother, Xu Laidi would have approached him long ago and might even threaten her brother with hooliganism.

People...are really double-standard.

"You can't say that. Why are you so angry? You are already an old girl. Although my son kissed and touched you to save you, if you don't marry my son after what has happened between you, who else do you want to marry?"

Old Lady Liu was also very good at talking: "Go ask our brigade, who else dares to marry you except my son? Xu Zhiqing, don't be so angry. Do you really want to stay single for the rest of your life?"

Xu Laidi couldn't say that she would never marry.

But she was determined not to marry the bachelor Liu.

It was clearly Song Jing who was supposed to save her, but in the end it was Old Bachelor Liu who came to save her.

One is a soldier who is good-looking and has a bright future career, while the other one comes from a poor family and is old and ugly.

The gap was too big for Xu Laidi to accept.

She was so aggrieved that she kept crying, and her eyes were darting around trying to find Song Jing.

But how could Song Wei let his brother come? He was entangled by the shameless Xu Lai Di and got into trouble for no reason.

"I know you feel a little wronged by marrying my son, but I'm here with a generous gift to propose to you."

While belittling her own son, Old Lady Liu began to coax people in a gentle voice.

"Take these vegetables and eggs to nourish your body. Don't let them cause you any illness. We are poor and can't afford anything good to take care of you. This is just a small token of my appreciation, so please accept it."

Before Xu Laidie could throw away the basket in anger, Liu Laonian took out the box and handed it to her.

"This box contains a treasure passed down from our ancestors, specially given to our daughter-in-law. If you agree, this treasure will belong to you."

Everyone was curious about what the treasure that Old Lady Liu was talking about was.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Xu Lai Di didn't hear anything else but the word "baby". Greed flashed in her eyes.

There was a flash of hesitation in Xu Lai Di's eyes. It was impossible for her to marry Song Jing. After all, Song Jing had to leave today. She was afraid that in the end she would not even have the chance to see Song Jing again.

Now that Song Jingren has left, what else can she plan?

But she was very reluctant to marry the bachelor Liu.

But this baby.

She wanted to open it and take a look, but was stopped by Liu Lao Niang: "Xu Zhiqing, you can't open it now. You have to agree to marry my son. Only my future daughter-in-law can see this thing."

"Think about it carefully. You have been in our team for five years. You are already 23 or 24 years old. Even if you don't want to admit it, you can't admit it because your age is there.

There were some old educated youth who went to the countryside with you before and got married in our brigade. Aren't they living well? If you keep dragging it out like this, even if someone is willing to marry you, it will definitely be a second marriage.

Although my son is not very good-looking, this is his first marriage and he is the only son in my family. As a mother-in-law, I must treat you well in the future..."

Not only was Liu Laoniang eloquent, she also touched Xu Laidie's heart. She was indeed afraid that if she waited another two years, she would never be able to find a good man to marry.

After all, she is all alone here, with no elders to take care of the family and no matchmaker to find a husband for her. Is she going to spend her whole life in the Youth League Home?

no!

Xu Laidi was flustered and didn't let go of the box.

Old Lady Liu looked at her meaningfully, then winked at her son.

Old bachelor Liu immediately came forward and swore.

"Don't worry, Xu Zhiqing. I will definitely treat you well after we get married."

Xu Lai Di felt sick when she saw her face.

Before she could say anything, Mrs. Liu took her hand and went to the room: "I have other things about the betrothal gifts. Let's go inside and talk slowly."

Xu Laidi's eyes flashed, but in the end greed got the better of her and she didn't break free from her hand.

Since she can't marry Song Jing, and the male educated youth in the educated youth compound don't like her, why not first see what kind of betrothal gift the Liu family plans to give.

If you are not satisfied, just don't get married.
