Lufang Village.
Yuan family.
After Yuan's mother returned from Changhe Village, she told her husband and daughter about the situation.
"So it seems that the mother and son are not acting?" Yuan's father said in surprise. He always felt that Cai Liu and Cai Junze were acting to reduce the amount of the betrothal gift their family requested.
Now, they brought out a wealthy family in the city that was richer than the Cai family, but Cai Liu was unmoved, while Cai Junze was very anxious. This shows that the mother and son were not pretending.
If she really wanted to pretend, Cai Liu should have become anxious when this situation occurred. However, she didn't, which explains the problem.
In fact, when Yuan's mother went to Cai's house to tell Liu Shulin about this matter, it was just a deliberate test, mainly to see if their family was really acting!
In fact, up to now, the Yan family has not brought any betrothal gifts, but Yuan's mother is just bragging about it to make the Cai family feel nervous.
Only by letting them feel the tension of the situation can they reveal their true colors!
Of course, for Yuan's mother, as long as they agreed, it was only a matter of time before the Yan family brought the betrothal gifts! So, it was reasonable for her to brag about it!
"Whether they are acting or not is not important! What is important is that Young Master Yan has chosen our Xiao E. Does he want her to be his principal wife, or...a concubine?"
Yuan's mother seemed a little worried.
Liu Shulin's reminder made her worry about this.
"Hmph, if she's a concubine, I won't go!" Yuan Xiao'e stated her position!
She is the beauty of Lufang Village and is pursued by Brother Junze. Why should she become someone else's concubine?
She's not that stupid!
Father Yuan frowned, was silent for a moment, and said, "How about we wait until the Yan family sends someone over next time and ask them?"
"We must get to the bottom of this!" Yuan's mother's eyes were extremely deep. "We can't leave this unclear!"
Yuan Xiao'e was also worried and said, "Mom, what if the Yan family wants me to be a concubine and we don't accept it? Then we go to talk to the Cai family. Because of what happened today, will the Cai family refuse to talk to us?"
"Well..." Mother Yuan also felt a little regretful. This time's test seemed a bit too aggressive and excessive. Annoying Cai Liu might not be a good thing. It even seemed like she was cutting off her own path...
"What does it matter? Since Cai Liushi isn't pretending, she'll have her opinions on this matter! The key is what Cai Junze thinks!" Yuan's father wasn't afraid. "As long as Cai Junze likes you, that's enough! After all, didn't Cai Liushi herself say that as long as Cai Junze can make money, she won't stop him from marrying our Xiao'e?"
Hearing her father say this, Yuan Xiao'e couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Yes, as long as brother Junze still has me in his heart, these problems are not a problem!
"The question is, can Cai Junze earn that money?" Yuan's mother asked back.
"He's only thirty taels short now," Yuan Xiao'e said. "With his recent luck, who knows, he might be able to collect the full amount someday!"
"I hope he can gather the money." Yuan's mother sighed, "That way, if the Yan family doesn't do what we want, we'll have a way out."
For Yuan's mother, the Yan family is the first choice!
As for the Cai family, they are just spare tires!
Of course, this spare tire is also of extremely high quality...
Cai Junze was listless all day and didn't help much in the store.
His mind was full of the fact that Xiao E had been favored by a wealthy family in the county town.
Xiao E herself probably won’t accept this marriage, right?
Yes, she will definitely not accept it!
I am her true love!
I am the only one in her heart!
However, Yuan's father and mother are so greedy. What if they force Xiao'e to marry into some wealthy family based on "parents' orders and matchmaker's words"? What should we do then?
The more he thought about it, the more upset he became!
"Close the door and go back!"
After selling the last two buns, Liu Shulin tidied up everything in the shop and turned to call Cai Junze.
Cai Junze lazily stood up from the chair in the shop. Liu Shulin glared at him: "She's just a woman, is it necessary to be like this?"
I really want to give him a slap to wake him up!
"Xiao E is the woman I love most, of course." Cai Junze said listlessly.
"If she really loved you, she wouldn't agree to marry that wealthy family." Liu Shulin poured cold water on him. "See, if a family richer than ours came to seduce her, they would be able to seduce her away. Ha, a woman like that is better off not having her!"
"It's definitely not that she wants to marry into some wealthy family, but she is oppressed by her family, and she has no choice." Cai Junze said with a sad face.
"Oh, you know how to find excuses for her!" Liu Shulin sneered.
"Wasn't it her family who pressured Lu Qingyan into marrying me?" Cai Junze suddenly said, "She has always loved Niu Jiashi!"
He knew everything about what happened between Lu Qingyan and Niu Jiashi.
Before Lu Qingyan married him, she often flirted with Niu Jiashi.
However, the Niu family was too poor, so the Lu family did not agree to marry their daughter to Niu Jiashi, but instead agreed to marry the Cai family who came to propose and were willing to pay a betrothal gift of twenty taels.
And then, there was this marriage!
Speaking of this, Liu Shulin couldn't help but frown.
For her, it was a thorn in her heart.
At first, she was deceived by Lu Qingyan's appearance, thinking that she was a good girl, beautiful and literate, so she went to the Lu family to discuss marriage.
Who would have thought that all her good qualities were just illusions!
