So much time has passed, and the Yuan family actually suspected that they were acting... Liu Shulin was speechless.
"Since it's not an act, then why do you oppose it but at the same time agree to let your son make money, and let your son pester my Xiao'e, saying that he will marry her when he makes money?" said Yuan's mother.
"I may oppose it, but my son has his own ideas. As long as he doesn't rely on me to fulfill his ideas and as long as it is legal and compliant, I will naturally not obstruct him. That's it." Liu Shulin said.
Then, he added, "If you think my son is pestering your daughter and you think this is not good, well, your family can stop their contact. I have no objection and even look forward to you doing so."
"Mom!" Cai Junze finally couldn't help but speak.
Before he could continue, Liu Shulin scolded him, "Shut up! This is a conversation between our elders. How can you interrupt?"
Cai Junze curled his lips, looking aggrieved.
Mother Yuan frowned, pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Mrs. Cai Liu, I don't know if you're acting, but I came here today to tell you something. Our Xiao'e has been spotted by a wealthy family in the city! They've offered a much higher betrothal gift than you! So, whether you act or not, our Xiao'e will never consider your family again!"
"What?" Cai Junze was shocked. "A wealthy family in the city has taken a fancy to Xiao'e? Which family? Who is it?"
Seeing his eager face, Yuan's mother smiled, a little proudly, and said, "Of course it's a family that is much richer than yours! As for which family it is, you don't need to ask! Anyway, you will know when Xiao'e gets married!"
Cai Junze looked at Yuan's mother with an expression of disbelief, and said in a trembling voice, "Aunt Yuan, is this... true? You are lying to me, right? You are deliberately telling me this because you hope that I can marry Xiao'e sooner, so that I can hurry up and earn enough money to marry Xiao'e, right?"
Mother Yuan shook her head and said, "No. What I said is true. There is indeed a wealthy man in the city who is seeking to marry our Xiao'e, and the betrothal gifts have already been brought to our Yuan family. They fill the entire house and are spread all over the floor. Tell me, after all this, can we still refuse?"
Cai Junze's face darkened, and then he ran away!
"stop!"
Liu Shulin stopped him and asked, "Where are you going?"
"I want to find Xiao'e!" Cai Junze turned around, "I want to ask her clearly!"
"You are not allowed to go!" Liu Shulin shouted in a cold voice!
"Mom!" Cai Junze was extremely anxious!
"I told you not to go!" Liu Shulin repeated, her voice icy. "If you dare go, don't come back!"
Cai Junze froze there with a solemn expression. He didn't know whether to go or not. A fierce battle between his conscience and his desires was going on in his heart!
Liu Shulin turned her gaze to Yuan's mother and saw that she looked relaxed and contented. She said, "That's good. I wish your Xiao'e happiness."
"Of course our Xiao'e will be happy!" Yuan's mother grinned, a smug look in her eyes. "Tell me, how could she not be happy if she married into a wealthy family in the city? In our area, how many country girls have the opportunity to marry into those wealthy families in the city? None, right? At least, in recent decades, our Xiao'e is the only one!"
Liu Shulin smiled and said, "Marrying into a wealthy family in the city doesn't necessarily guarantee happiness. After all, who knows if you'll become the principal wife or a concubine? Concubines in wealthy families... well, those who understand will understand."
After hearing what Liu Shulin said, the smile on Yuan's mother's face couldn't help but stiffen a little... because she really hadn't thought about whether Xiao E would be the principal wife or the concubine if she really married that Master Yan!
Mr. Yan never mentioned this to them!
They were too excited and didn't think about this.
As we all know, in the wealthy families in the city, the status of concubines is actually very low.
Especially those who have no background, marrying as concubines, without support from their natal family, can only be bullied by the wife!
All the children born were illegitimate sons and daughters, and unless there were special circumstances, they did not even have the right to inherit the family wealth.
In short, unless absolutely necessary, most families would not want their daughters to become concubines.
Of course, it is not ruled out that many parents only care about money and sell their daughters.
Seeing the change in Yuan's mother's expression, Liu Shulin knew that Yuan's mother must not have decided whether her daughter would marry into that so-called wealthy family as a wife or a concubine.
Yuan's mother stood there for a few seconds, but didn't say anything else and left in a hurry.
It seems that she plans to go back and figure this out.
"Humph, it's too early to be happy!"
Liu Shulin's eyes flashed with disdain. "Why are you showing off here without even understanding the situation?"
Cai Junze came back to his senses at this moment and said, "Mom, if that wealthy family wants Xiao'e to be a concubine, then do I have another chance?"
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel happy!
It’s like seeing stars in the dark night!
"No future!"
Liu Shulin glared at him, a little disappointed. "The world is so big, is there only room for one Yuan Xiao'e in your eyes?"
She really didn't understand what was so good about Yuan Xiao'e?
Is it because she has a vixen face?
Alas, if only she had been reborn a few years earlier, then she could have wiped out all the things about Lu Qingyan and Yuan Xiaoe before he even got to know them!
"Mom, Xiao E is the only one in my heart!" Cai Junze was extremely stubborn when talking about this.
