What should he do if even his second uncle, whom his father calls the closest and most powerful, doesn't take care of them?
Tiezhu was at a loss as to what to do.
Now seeing this scene, Tiezhu felt that those aunts were wrong. His second uncle and second aunt did not dislike them, and his second aunt was not what they said she was. She was very pretty, and when she looked at his brothers and sisters, she was like her mother looking at tree roots. She was even gentler and better than his mother. Such a second aunt would not dislike them, right?
Tiezhu wiped away his tears quietly. It didn't matter. If his second aunt had her own children one day and didn't want them anymore, he would take his younger siblings away. By then, he would be older and could take good care of his younger siblings. Hadn't his father been able to take good care of his younger brother before?
The little adult Tiezhu secretly made up his mind in his heart.
He didn't mind. He came here to explain the cancellation of the engagement. He was not the original Hao Yuanchao and had no feelings for Jiang Shuyao. It didn't matter whether they met or not. It was even better not to meet, so that Jiang Shuyao wouldn't notice anything because of his poor acting skills.
Of course, the two families didn't immediately discuss the cancellation of the engagement upon meeting. Instead, they exchanged pleasantries. Both were shrewd people, and their polite words were warm and affectionate, giving no indication that either side was harboring any intention of breaking off the engagement. After the pleasantries were over, and Jiang's father used the matter of the child to build momentum, Liang Li finally brought up the marriage, laying the groundwork for a while before revealing his unwillingness to continue the marriage and involve the woman.
The words were said beautifully. It was not because he disliked the other girl that he broke off the engagement, but because he did not want to drag Jiang Shuyao down. He did not embarrass her and was very sincere.
Jiang's father was stunned when he heard this. He thought that Hao Yuanchao came to visit him today for a normal visit, but he never thought that he would take the initiative to talk about breaking off the engagement. Although it was unexpected, but observing Hao Yuanchao's expression, he saw that he was not joking and did not show any resentment, so he probably understood in his heart that this was sincere.
Jiang's father was really satisfied with Hao Yuanchao as his son-in-law, but it was Hao Yuanchao's elder brother who left behind four children, and his daughter had been spoiled since childhood and had never suffered. It would be too tiring for her to raise four children if she married into the family. In addition, his daughter had been depressed and had recurrent illnesses recently, and his wife kept saying that the child was suffering. He couldn't bear to let her marry him, so Hao Yuanchao was willing to take the initiative to cancel the engagement at this time, without any resentment, and in a friendly manner. Jiang's father pretended to refuse and then agreed.
If both parties wanted to break off the engagement peacefully and avoid any trouble, then the matter was settled. As for the betrothal gifts and dowry, there was no discussion of them. Hao Yuanchao had already given 180 yuan as a gift, and the other major items hadn't been purchased yet, so there wasn't much of a financial dispute. Jiang's father naturally wanted to return the betrothal gifts, but Liang Li refused. After all, it was the original body that gave it to Jiang Shuyao, and he wasn't so poor that he needed that little money. But Jiang's father insisted on giving it. Since the marriage was off the table, the betrothal gifts naturally had to be returned. He wasn't some unrefined person who would want to take advantage of other people's betrothal gifts.
One wanted to return the money and the other refused to accept it. Just when they were in a stalemate, footsteps were heard coming from far away and getting closer. Finally, the sound stopped at the open door. When Jiang's mother looked inside and saw the military uniform, she knew it was Hao Yuanchao. She smiled and said, "Comrade Yuanchao is here? I just bought some meat. Stay for dinner." Even if she wanted to cancel the engagement, she had to keep it a face.
Hearing this, Song Shuyao looked up with a gloomy expression, wanting to see what her vague fiancé in her memory looked like. At this time, Liang Li also stood up and turned around. He raised his head and met Song Shuyao's gaze. Their eyes met, and the moment the two people's appearance was imprinted in their eyes, both of them were stunned.
"Yao, Yaoyao?" Liang Li almost murmured, full of surprise, confusion, happiness and a hint of uncertainty.
Then this uncertainty disappeared in the next second, because Song Shuyao walked up to him and slapped him hard in front of everyone.
As the loud slap landed, the three words "son of a bitch" came out of her mouth, and the hateful tone sounded as if she was shouting through gritted teeth.
The Jiang family was shocked by this unexpected turn of events. Their daughter/sister/sister-in-law actually dared to hit an army officer? ! !
Before they could react, Liang Li, who had been slapped, smiled, his eyes glowing, "Yaoyao." This word was confirmation.
