Little did they expect that Shen Liang would still not give up.
Shen Liang looked at Qiao Lian'er and said, "Lian'er, how about I do you a favor? I want to say a few words to you."
The backbone of this family is Qiao Lian'er. As long as you can persuade her, you don't have to worry about the other members of the Qiao family not agreeing.
Qiao Xi'er said seriously, "Shen Liang, let me tell you clearly, if you still want to make a move on my Xi'er, you're out of luck."
Too lazy to pay him any attention, she pulled Qiao Zhizhi away.
Anyway, since the two elders are at home, they aren't afraid of Shen Liang causing trouble.
Shen Liang waited for a while, but Qiao Xi'er was busy in the kitchen. Even when she came out occasionally, she wouldn't look outside.
He's a living, breathing person; there's no way Qiao Xi'er didn't see him, she just pretended he didn't exist.
Shen Liang took a deep breath. He found it hard to accept that Qiao Xi'er had no hope for him at all.
He couldn't help but recall the way Qiao Xi'er looked at him in the past, her eyes filled with the beautiful anticipation of a young girl, so captivating.
Now, everything has changed. The Shi family ignores him, Qiao Xi'er no longer cares about him, and the Shen family and the Qiao family have become enemies.
It all felt like a dream.
Shen Liang walked dejectedly toward the village entrance.
After taking only two steps, he stopped again. No, this matter cannot end like this.
The Qiao family has the ability to make money, and their lives are getting better and better. How could they give up such a lucrative opportunity?
Qiao Xi'er was beautiful, which suited his taste.
Shen Liang went home.
"Weren't you going to town? Why are you back?" Old Shen asked as soon as he saw Shen Liang.
“Father, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, Eldest Cousin, Second Cousin, let’s all go and clear the way for the Qiao family,” Shen Liang said.
"Why? On what grounds?" Liu shouted immediately. "Don't you know how the Qiao family treated our Shen family? How can you expect us to work for them for free? How is that possible?"
If the Qiao family hadn't insisted on thinking they were superior and wanted Qiao Xier to be their legal wife, tearing up the betrothal letter, would Shen Liang have had no way out or backup?
If they had been more patient back then, and the Shi family had backed out, wouldn't Qiao Xier have become the legal wife?
Instead of putting on a show of civility, they insisted on seizing the Shen family's three acres of land.
The Shen family and the Qiao family are irreconcilable enemies, destined to be sworn enemies for all eternity.
If Shen Liang weren't her son, she would have slapped anyone who dared to say such things to her.
The others also looked very grim.
Shen Liang was considered half a scholar in the family, and he might become a surveyor in the government or county office in the future, so the Shen family treated him with exceptional courtesy.
However, his suggestion aroused anger in the Shen family.
"Of course, I'm not helping them for nothing," Shen Liang said. "You've all seen how capable the Qiao family is. They'll only make more and more money, and their wealth will soon surpass our Shen family's. If I can marry Qiao Xi'er, the Qiao family will definitely help our Shen family with any business they do. At that time, will our family be afraid of not being able to acquire more land and buy more houses in the county town to rent out?"
"We can't change what's past, but we can get it back with interest in the future."
"Besides, now that Qiao Xi'er has married into our Shen family, we can treat her however we want. Isn't that also a way of venting our hatred?"
The Shen family members were all intrigued by his analysis.
That's killing two birds with one stone! Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.
