Chapter 598 Fate
Ma Liu glared at Ma Xiaomei and said, "Your father and I are both smart people, how could we give birth to such a stupid girl like you?
We thought that you and Shen Liang grew up together, and we also know the Shen family.
If you really marry him, when your father, your brother and I need money, Shen Liang and his parents will not sit idly by.
Besides, I also inquired and found out that the two most popular shops in Qingfeng City recently are managed by Chen Liang. Think about it, those two shops make so much money, so Chen Liang must also make a lot of money.
If you and Shen Liang really get married, given the two of you two's desperate efforts, all the money he earns will become ours.
We can support your eldest brother no matter how many years he stays at home to study."
Ma Xiaomei glared and said angrily, "How could you do this?"
"What happened to us? You said you still had Shen Liang in your heart, but we put our old faces aside and went to beg him.
In order to find him, I was locked up in the woodshed and almost sent to the authorities.
Xiaomei, don't be ungrateful. It's obviously you who are incompetent and don't catch Chen Liang's eye. Let's just forget about it!
It’s not like our Ma family’s daughters can’t get married. I will accept Mr. Liu’s proposal of marriage tomorrow.
Let me tell you, Mr. Liu said that the betrothal gift is two sets of gold jewelry and two hundred taels of silver.
We will keep the jewelry for you, and leave the silver for your brother to use for his studies.
Xiaomei, our family is no longer the same as it used to be. If your father hadn't been sick, we could still live.
Your father is ill, so you have to be careful about how you spend this money."
Ma Liu didn't give Ma Xiaomei any chance to speak. After she finished her nagging, she chased Ma Xiaomei back into the house and said, "Okay, it's getting late. Go to bed early!
From tomorrow on, you don’t have to go anywhere. Just stay at home and wait to get married!
Also, give up on Chen Liang! I have to make him understand that our Ma family's daughters are not unwanted. We can still marry well without him.
When you marry Mr. Liu, I will ask him to recommend your elder brother to the best academy in Qingfeng City."
The more Ma Liu thought about it, the happier she felt. She walked out a few steps, feeling uneasy, and came back to lock Ma Xiaomei's room. "You should stay at home honestly for the next two days. Don't let outsiders say that our Ma family's girls are uneducated."
Seeing that the door was locked, Ma Xiaomei became a little anxious. She had planned to pack her bags and go find Chen Liang, and then confront him. She was her, and her family was her family.
Who would have thought that the house was locked from the outside by Ma Liu.
She yelled in the house unwillingly.
Ma Liu scolded Ma Xiaomei outside, “I’m your mother, don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking, are you thinking of going to find Shen Liang?
I tell you, just give up on this idea!
Instead of thinking about how to run away, you should stay at home and think about how to quickly give Liu Juren a son. Then, Liu Juren's things will all belong to us."
Ma Xiaomei was so angry that she smashed everything in the house, "You keep saying you're good to me, but you're calculating everywhere.
I'll let you guys figure it out. If I really marry Mr. Liu, don't even think about taking a needle from me."
Having said this, Ma Xiaomei sat down on the ground with a look of despair, tears streaming down her face.
After all, she and Shen Liang are not destined to be together!
Shen Liang kept his eyes open until dawn, and after getting up, he went to the shop.
No matter how bad your mood is, you have to keep moving forward.
When he learned that Ma Xiaomei was going to marry Mr. Liu, he hid in a deserted place and secretly wiped away his tears.
Then, he went back to work as if nothing had happened.
Zhang Juexia also found out about the relationship between Chen Liang and Ma Xiaomei. When she learned from Granny Liu that Ma Xiaomei was going to get married, she asked Granny Liu to go to the shop to send a message and call Chen Liang home.
Shen Liang thought something was wrong with Zhang Juexia, so he ran over in a hurry.
Zhang Juexia looked at him carefully and said, "Well, he looks quite energetic."
Shen Liang understood Zhang Juexia's intention, "Madam, there are still many things to do in the shop, we need to be busy!"
After saying this, he was about to leave when Zhang Juexia stopped him, "I'm just concerned about you. If Manager Shen gets tired, my shop will be in vain."
"Don't worry, ma'am, I'm fine!"
"I'm not lying!"
Shen Liang shook his head, “No, don’t worry, Madam, I’m fine, I’m really fine.”
Looking at Chen Liang's expression, Zhang Juexia almost carved the words "it's okay" on his body, and then he let him go with peace of mind.
"I'll go find Madam Shen later and ask her to help you find the best daughter-in-law."
Shen Liang walked away quickly with a red face.
After seeing Shen Liang leave, Granny Liu said with a gossipy look on her face, "Madam, judging from the look on Manager Shen's face, nothing must have happened.
It seems that we are all worrying too much. This man is simply ruthless!
I heard that Ma Xiaomei had a fight with her family several times over this matter!"
After hearing what Grandma Liu said, Zhang Juexia just laughed.
The results will be announced tomorrow. Zhang Juexia is a little anxious, but Ye Beixiu is more open-minded. In his words, you have to eat whether you pass or not, otherwise you will be hungry.
Zhang Juexia felt a little bored staying at home, so he planned to go talk to Old Madam Shen and ask her to enlighten him.
Mrs. Shen seemed to know that she would go, and had already instructed the kitchen to make her favorite snacks.
When Zhang Juexia saw the snacks, all his worries disappeared instantly. He ate the snacks for a while, talked about some business matters with Mrs. Shen, and was about to leave.
Madam Shen pretended to be angry and asked, "Are you leaving now that you've had enough to eat and drink?"
"What else?"
"Sit down and talk to me."
Zhang Juexia sat down on the chair obediently, "Old Madam, to be honest, I'm a little panicked."
"Why are you panicking? If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up! Let's talk about something else. Don't tell me, Shen Liang is really hard-hearted.
I thought he would lose control, but unexpectedly, the result was quite good, which was exactly what I wanted."
"Why? Why do I feel so sorry? There's obviously love between Shen Liang and Ma Xiaomei, so why can't they be together?"
Madam Shen glared at her and said, "Because I know what kind of people Ma Xiaomei's parents are. In our Shen family, the current people are not qualified. How good can the character of such people be? In the future, even if Shen Liang marries Ma Xiaomei, there will be trouble."
"Old Madam, your words really hit the nail on the head! They broke off their engagement with Shen Liang and thought they were superior to him, but you said they weren't even qualified to be his people."
Madam Shen rolled her eyes and said, "Do you really think that it's so easy to get into our Shen family? In the beginning, it was me who designed to make them leave.
Although Xiaomei is a good child, forget it. After she marries Mr. Liu, I will have someone take better care of her.
And as for Shen Liang, I actually have a daughter from a good family, and I want to tell her about it to Shen Liang!"
