As long as Zhou Lie said no, they would beat him up.
Zhou Lie looked at the Lin brothers who were slowly approaching him, and the dark clouds in his heart suddenly dissipated.
He was still conflicted in his mind a second ago, not knowing how to respond.
Now an idea suddenly popped into my head.
He paused for a moment and then said, "Xiaomei and I have only known each other for two months. We agreed before that we should spend some more time together and get married in two years..."
"Two more years?!"
Lin's mother squeezed in from the side and exclaimed.
"If you keep being dishonest like this, I'll see you have a child in two years."
She grabbed Zhou Lie's collar and said, "You must give an explanation now, otherwise you won't even be able to leave this door." She pointed at the door with her right hand.
The Lin brothers nodded in agreement.
Zhou Lie frowned and said with some embarrassment: "What if Xiaomei doesn't want to get married?"
Mother Lin waved her arms and said, "Impossible. Why wouldn't she get married now? Does she want to become an old maid?"
Seeing that the topic changed so quickly, Xiaomei knew that they would have to get married if they continued talking. She raised her foot to leave, but was pulled back by Lin Qingqing.
She struggled several times but couldn't get free. She didn't know where her cousin, who was so weak in the past, could have so much strength.
"Sister, what are you doing? You're asking me to go out. Didn't you see that my second uncle is forcing Zhou Lie to marry me? I have to explain this clearly."
Xiaomei was so anxious that her eyes turned red. She really didn't want to get married now, mainly because of Zhou Lie's family situation. She was really afraid that Zhou Lie's family would look down on her.
"Don't come out." Lin Qingqing's domineering spirit came up. She raised her foot to kick the door shut and turned her body to the door to hold it.
She couldn't let Xiaomei get into trouble at this time.
After hearing what Lin's mother said, Lin nodded: "I am her uncle. I can be her mother's master, and I can also be her master."
The embarrassment on Zhou Lie's face disappeared instantly.
"Uncle, today is September 3rd, so Xiaomei and I will be getting married at the end of the month. Tomorrow I'll call home and tell my parents about it. I'll file a marriage report with the army this time, and I've already prepared the money for the wedding. After we get married, Xiaomei will live with me in the army. The betrothal gift is 399, plus four hundred and one hundred taels. What are your requirements?"
He smiled and said a long string of words, and at the end he asked Lin Yu what his requirements were for marriage.
He was already very happy in his heart, and thanked the Lin family for giving him the opportunity to counter their moves.
Now it was the Lin family’s turn and they didn’t know what to say.
Wasn't this young man embarrassed before? How come he decided on the wedding date and betrothal gift in just two sentences?
Getting married in just over twenty days, isn’t that a bit sudden and...fast?
Lin Xu and Lin's mother looked at each other, and the Lin brothers also looked at each other.
Xiaomei in the room was so angry after hearing what Zhou Lie said that she wanted to strangle him.
She finally broke free from Lin Qingqing and opened the door to come out. Before she could say anything, Lin Qingqing covered her mouth.
Lin Qingqing smiled and shouted to the courtyard: "Xiaomei said she has no objection."
Lin Yu: "Since Xiaomei has no objection, then we should ask Xiaomei's mother about the rest. Now, let's all go. Ni'er has a wedding tomorrow and we have to get up before dawn."
Li Zhaodi and others, who were eavesdropping through the crack in the door, quietly closed their heads, lay down on the soft bed, hugged the child and fell asleep.
