Chapter 28 The Fourth Brother is a Trap No Matter What
Li Mengfei's face flushed red. "What makes you say that to me? You were different back then than you are now. What makes you compare the past with the present?"
If Aunt Zhao could afford to marry you in the past, she can certainly afford to marry me now!
It's just a matter of whether she's willing or not. Besides, you and Brother Liu met by chance and then went on a blind date. How can that compare to my childhood sweetheart relationship with Jiancheng that we've had for so many years? Can you even compare? Do I need that much?
"Jiancheng, say something! Are you just going to watch your second sister-in-law bully me? What have I done to deserve this?"
Liu Jiancheng's face darkened; he felt utterly ashamed.
He could have reasoned with a demand of 2,000 yuan before, but now that Li Mengfei is asking for more, it's even harder for him to say anything!
He was terrified that Zhao Fengxiu would kick him out immediately, leaving him homeless.
Liu Jiancheng's silence made Li Mengfei understand something, coupled with Lin Jingyi's constant scornful remarks, "You're not worthy of her! You're not worthy of a pig!"
There's no pillow or bed at home for you to sleep in, so you've come here to dream and make a wish! If you really want to make a wish, go to a temple!
You even helped your parents renovate their house and bought your brother new clothes! You really dare to think and say such things! Don't you even know who you are? You think you're worthy?
I doubt even Chen Juncai, the eldest sister's boyfriend, would be interested in you! You'd look the same with the lights off! With looks like that, you dare to bark like a dog!
Are your parents getting old? Did they forget to tie you when they went out today?
Li Mengfei was furious. "You...you...how dare you say that to me? How dare you insult me? Liu Jiancheng! Are you mute?! Speak up!"
Lin Jingyi continued to add insult to injury, "What could he possibly say? He has to pay household expenses and find a job, how could he afford to marry you?"
He's about to be kicked out! Didn't you know? You think you can get away with anything just because we gave you a taste of your own medicine? Our family paid over 2000..."
Just as Lin Jingyi was about to continue, Zhao Fengxiu glared at her fiercely.
Lin Jingyi stopped talking, paused for a moment, and changed the subject, "Anyway, you're not getting any of these! I don't have them, so you can forget about them!"
Lin Jingyi kept provoking Li Mengfei, making her both angry and annoyed, and she had no choice but to give in.
He could only ask Zhao Fengxiu, "Aunt Zhao, what do you think?"
Zhao Fengxiu smiled meaningfully and said, "It seems your family has a lot of things to do. You should go back first. We won't keep you for dinner. Think it over carefully and then come back to tell us. Anyway, we're not really keen on marrying you."
As for your supposed long-standing relationship with Jiancheng, I don't care. If you're so capable, why don't you just let Jiancheng marry into your family? I wouldn't mind. After all, raising such a good-for-nothing is already a loss.
"I don't want to raise him anymore. Let him go to your Li family as a live-in son-in-law. I won't take a single penny. Isn't that generous? It's getting late; we need to cook. Jingyi, you should see him out!"
Seeing Zhao Fengxiu's attitude, Lin Jingyi was extremely satisfied and immediately replied, "Okay, Mom!"
She immediately tried to shoo Lin Jingyi out, saying, "Goodbye! And don't come back next time. Don't even think about making a wish. This isn't a temple!"
Lin Jingyi's provocation and sarcasm made Li Mengfei cry, and Liu Jiancheng's continued silence with his head down made her even more disheartened!
She covered her face and ran out crying.
Liu Shiping, who was tidying up his stall outside, looked completely bewildered, not knowing what had happened.
Li Mengfei walked quite a distance before bumping into a wall of flesh. He pulled her to a corner and comforted her, "What's wrong, Mengfei? Did the Liu family bully you?"
I knew the Liu family wouldn't be so kind. Look at how volatile things have been lately with the Liu family; it seems Liu Jiancheng might find it difficult to do so. Why don't you calm down and give Liu Jiancheng some time to sort things out?
It's wrong to make you suffer; let him handle the negotiation himself!
Sobbing, Li Mengfei nestled in Zhou Junjie's arms and cried, "This is the only way. Junjie, you understand me so well. The Liu family went too far!"
That Sister Lin actually said I was dreaming, who did I think I was, and that I wasn't good enough for her! She said I was only fit to be a pig! And that Aunt Zhao even said she wanted Jiancheng to marry into my family!
Their words were so awful, but Jiancheng didn't say a word, just letting them talk about me! I'm ignoring him for the next few days, letting him figure things out himself!
Zhou Junjie was slightly surprised, but still agreed with Li Mengfei, saying, "Okay, just leave him hanging. He'll eventually help you negotiate a settlement. After all, the Liu family can afford it; it's just a matter of whether he's willing or not. He loves you so much, he can definitely do it."
I'm also sorry, my family can't give you these things, and you've suffered. Once Jiancheng gives you what you need and helps you resolve these problems, then we'll…”
The more they whispered to each other, the redder Li Mengfei's face became.
...
That evening, the atmosphere at the Liu family's dinner table was quite subtle.
Liu Jiancheng lowered his head and dared not say anything. His family all knew about his situation; Lin Jingyi had told them everything!
This caused Liu Jianguo and Liu Jianbang to scold him.
Liu Jianguo said, "Fourth brother, you've gone too far! Our family handed over 2,500 yuan!"
"Your girlfriend wants all this? You wouldn't be worth that much even if you were sold! Think about it carefully, does she really deserve it?"
Liu Jianbang said, "She's not worthy! Even if she were, Mom wouldn't pay! I can't even imagine it. Fourth brother, you're amazing!"
How could you let her come to our house and provoke Mom and my second sister-in-law like that? Didn't you stop her? You should stay away from this woman from now on!
I feel so sorry for you. You can barely take care of yourself, how can you look after her? Why don't you just marry into her family? Right, Mom?"
Zhao Fengxiu raised an eyebrow. "You're right. Fourth Brother is a mess no matter what. We should just cut ties with him to save ourselves the trouble of cleaning up his messes later. Pack his bags and throw him out the door in a bit!"
The children all chimed in, saying, "Great! Great!"
These words terrified Liu Jiancheng. He immediately said, "No! I've already paid for my household expenses, please stop bothering me. Mom, let's talk this out. I'll talk to Jingyi again. I won't let her come to our house and offend you again. She'll definitely think it through, okay?"
And you, Second Sister-in-law, your words were too harsh. She's my childhood sweetheart, someone I've known for many years. How could you say such a thing about her?
"Once she marries into the family, won't you be sisters-in-law? You'll see each other all the time, so why be so formal?"
Lin Jingyi retorted indignantly, "It would be even better if she could come in! I'll teach her a lesson! How dare she make such outrageous demands? Why don't you learn from Lao San and find a girl with better conditions?"
That way you'll have a chance to marry into the family! Mom already wants the third son home, unlike you, who showed up uninvited!
They actually want the operating rights to this store! It was taken over by my mother's family!
Lin Jingyi dropped another bombshell, and several people began to criticize Liu Jiancheng, saying that he was too outrageous.
Seeing Liu Jiancheng being scolded made Liu Jianbang feel relieved.
