Chapter 597 Determined
Shen Liang sighed, “Xiaomei, our fate ends here. To be honest, you are not afraid, but I am.”
Ma Xiaomei's eyes were red, and she looked at Shen Liang with extreme grievance, but Shen Liang turned his head away, "Xiaomei, please leave!
My parents are still working in the Shen Mansion. I am the only one in the family who has left the officialdom. Your brother is a scholar, so he should not bring disgrace to your Ma family."
Hearing Shen Liang's heart-piercing words, Ma Xiaomei couldn't help but take a few steps back and stared at Shen Liang fiercely, "No wonder my mother said that you are heartless. Our family no longer despises you, but you bring up the old things again.
Shen Liang, do you really think I can't get married? "
"Then I wish you to find your soulmate soon!"
Shen Liang left without looking back.
Ma Xiaomei was left alone, stomping her feet on the spot, "Chen Liang, you will regret this."
After hearing this, Shen Liang did not look back and strode forward.
When he returned home, he saw Mother Shen waiting for him. He raised his eyes to his mother and asked, "Mom, is there something wrong?"
Mother Shen glanced outside and asked worriedly, “Did Xiaomei come here?”
"No, Mom, I've been busy all day. I'm tired and want to go to bed early."
Mother Shen stood in front of Shen Liang and did not move, "Don't try to lie to me, you are my child, you can't hide anything from me.
Mom wants to tell you that if you and Xiaomei still have feelings for each other, don't worry about me and your father. After you get married, you will have to move out."
Shen Liang supported Shen's mother and pressed her on the chair, "Mom, what I said is not true, it is not true.
Didn’t I say that day that it’s impossible for the two of us?
There's no going back to the way the two families used to be, so let's just break up completely!"
Mother Shen looked at Shen Liang distressedly, "Son, are you serious? Well, to be honest, Xiaomei is indeed a good child, but her father and her mother are really not the same kind of people as us!
When we were still in the mansion, because we were born in the family, we were somewhat favored by the masters in the mansion.
They became friends with us, but after they redeemed themselves and left the house, they showed a completely different attitude.
To be honest, your father and I really hope you can break up with Xiaomei, but we are worried about you. Alas, we are in a dilemma!"
Shen Liang seemed to have made up his mind, and he gave a smile that was uglier than crying, "Mom, tell Dad that this is settled.
A few days ago, you asked me to meet a girl from a certain family. When I’m done with this busy schedule, you can take me to see her.”
Mother Shen was overjoyed, “Okay, okay, my son is now a free man, and we won’t consider these families in the mansion who are of the same age as you.
When your father and I are no longer in office, we will go out and find a matchmaker with a good reputation and ask them to help you find a daughter from a good family.
Also, your father and I have agreed that we still have some money. You can take some time to go around the streets and see if there is a suitable house. If there is, we will buy it for you and use it for your marriage.
When you get married, your father and I will not live with you. As for this house, you have the final say. You can buy whatever you want.
You don't have to worry about money. To be honest, we have been working in the government for so many years and we still have some savings."
Chen Liang shook his head. "Mom, how can I use your money to buy a house? Your son is capable now. In a few years, he will be able to buy a big house. Then you and dad can quit your jobs in the mansion and move in. Your son will take care of you in your old age."
After hearing what Shen Liang said, Shen's mother was so moved that tears came out of her eyes. She wiped her tears and said with relief, "My son has really grown up."
Ma Xiaomei returned to her home, one foot deep and one foot shallow. When Ma Liu heard the noise, she hurried out to greet her and asked with concern, "How is it? Is it done?"
Ma Xiaomei's tears flowed like raindrops. When Ma Liu saw her like this, she knew that this matter had failed. "Useless thing, you can't even do such a small thing.
I said that Chen Liang has no conscience, but you still don’t believe me. Now you have given up!
The Liu family is urging us again. Let me tell you, Mr. Liu is much better than Shen Liang.
Mr. Liu is a juren, right? Shen Liang is just a manager. In the final analysis, he is just a merchant. How can he have the status of a scholar?
Mr. Liu has a hundred acres of fertile land and two shops in the city, but Shen Liang has nothing."
Ma Xiaomei glared at Ma Liu and said, "Mr. Liu is such a good man, why don't you marry him?"
Ma Liu stretched out her hand and was about to swing at Ma Xiaomei, but Ma Xiaomei dodged it easily. "You are my own daughter, so I am so patient. Let me tell you, if I were twenty years younger and asked to choose between Shen Liang and Mr. Liu, I would definitely choose Mr. Liu."
"Since you chose him, then marry him! Mother, I don't understand. Aren't you just trying to help my eldest brother pass the imperial examination? Why are you putting me in this? That Liu Juren can be my father."
"You kid, Mr. Liu is only ten years older than you. How can he be your father? If his previous wife hadn't been unlucky and died early, such a good thing would never have happened to you.
Mr. Liu’s previous wife only left behind a daughter. Once you marry into the family, you will be the mistress of the house. What’s wrong with that?
"In two years, if you give Liu Juren another son, Xiaomei, you will still have the final say in the Liu family."
"Then I won't marry either."
Ma Liu's expression changed, "This matter is not up to you, Xiaomei. If your father hadn't been ill, we wouldn't have forced you. Just consider it as understanding for us.
You are our own daughter. Even if Mr. Liu were a fire pit, we would not let you jump into it.
You said you still had feelings for Shen Liang, but we had to lower our heads to beg them, and now we've been met with a cold shoulder."
Ma Xiaomei jumped up and said, "It's all your fault. My elder brother passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, but you look down on him.
Then when you are out doing business, don't say you have acquaintances in the Shen Mansion!"
"When did you learn to speak so harshly, kid? Okay, stop arguing with me. To be honest, your father and I really don't like Shen Liang.
To be honest, if he wasn't of some use, we wouldn't have the nerve to look for him.
I originally thought that given their status, they would respond immediately as soon as we asked them.
Who knew it would be so rude? "
Ma Xiaomei widened her eyes and looked at Ma Liu in disbelief, "Mom, I am your biological daughter, no wonder Brother Liang is unwilling!
What on earth are you planning? Why are you plotting against me too?"
"My child, it's not easy for your father and I to raise me up!
Well, since you and Shen Liang can't be together anyway, it doesn't hurt to tell you."
