Chapter 78 is not about pregnancy.
Outside the door, Liu Jiancheng leaned close to Li Mengfei and whispered, "If you don't suffer now, you'll suffer much later! Mengfei, listen to me, just accept the 680 dowry and some furniture!"
My mom has amassed so much money lately, my second brother has started a new family, and my third brother is planning to marry into the family, which will bring in even more money.
The fifth brother is still unemployed. Once you come in, everything will be ours, won't it?
Li Mengfei said, feeling aggrieved, "But, but..."
Liu Jiancheng: "If you don't do this, then there's nothing I can do."
After discussing it, the two came in.
Zhao Fengxiu raised an eyebrow and knew they would compromise!
"So, have you made up your mind?"
Liu Jiancheng and Li Mengfei entered, and he helped her slowly kneel down. "Mom, we are willing to accept a bride price of 680. There's no time like the present, let's arrange to meet with the Li family tomorrow to discuss the engagement!"
Zhao Fengxiu nodded, "Since you're in such a hurry, then I'll make the arrangements. Sigh, a son grows up and is no longer under his mother's control."
After agreement.
That evening, Li Mengfei stayed at the Liu family's house for dinner and was given a chicken leg to eat.
That evening, the Liu family had a very lavish meal.
Her eyes welled up with tears as she watched the people at the table eating and drinking quickly and with great relish.
She took a big mouthful of rice and swallowed it.
Seeing this, Liu Jiancheng put more food on her plate, saying, "What's wrong? Is it not good? Hurry up, Third Brother and the others are very quick."
Li Mengfei shook her head. "No, your family's food is delicious, it's just too delicious."
She's never eaten anything like this at home.
I ate at Liu's restaurant a few years ago, and it was alright, but now that I'm eating there again, it's a world of difference!
The Liu family has prospered so much.
Li Mengfei felt deeply saddened.
If it weren't for her parents and younger brother holding her back, she would have actually given herself to Liu Jiancheng!
Why should she suffer in a family like that?
but……
Li Mengfei had no choice but to suffer in silence.
After dinner, Liu Jiancheng left Li Mengfei himself. It was still dark, but he carried a flashlight to see the road clearly.
On the road.
Li Mengfei turned around. "Jiancheng, we've made plans for tomorrow. We'll meet at the county hospital. If..."
Seeing her hesitate, Liu Jiancheng comforted her, "Don't worry, my family will be there. Although my parents have been treating me like this lately, things are getting better now, aren't they? It's all thanks to you, Mengfei."
In the end, I've wronged you. I will marry you as soon as possible and won't let you be disgraced.
Li Mengfei: "Thank you, Jiancheng."
...
The next day.
The county hospital.
The Liu and Li families were all present, gathering at the county hospital.
The doctor briefly examined Li Mengfei's condition, found nothing seriously wrong, and left.
The Li family had personally taken care of everything. When they came to tell the Liu family, Li's mother changed her usual attitude and smiled as she grabbed Zhao Fengxiu's wrist.
"My dear in-laws! Since my Mengfei has reached an agreement with you, why don't we exchange betrothal gifts first? Just give me the 680, and we'll choose a wedding date later!"
Zhao Fengxiu glanced at Liu Jiancheng and Li Mengfei, who seemed happy together, and said to Li's mother, "So soon? Shouldn't we go out for a meal at a restaurant tomorrow after she's discharged from the hospital, and then discuss it? Today we're just here to check on your daughter's health."
Li's mother said, "My daughter will be fine! Don't you believe me? Once she marries into your family, she'll be your daughter!"
Zhao Fengxiu nodded without expressing her opinion.
The others just chatted with Li Mengfei about this and that.
In the afternoon, the family exchanged pleasantries and went to a restaurant.
They started things ahead of time.
Mr. and Mrs. Li were overjoyed, and their four sons were drinking with Liu Jiancheng and the others, drinking heavily!
Once at the restaurant, both families ate to their hearts' content.
Amidst all the laughter and cheers, only Zhao Fengxiu remained calm and composed.
After several rounds of drinks...
When the two families had almost finished eating, Liu Jianbang had to leave, but Zhao Fengxiu told him to wait a little longer.
Liu Jianbang was puzzled. "What are you waiting for? Fourth Brother is getting married soon, so shouldn't I make sure you know how I'll marry into the family?"
"I'm here to help you make some money, why are you stopping me?"
Zhao Fengxiu looked at him speechlessly, "What's the rush? Give me another half hour."
Helpless, Liu Jianbang had no choice but to stay.
I just want to see what my mom is up to this time!
Zhao Fengxiu stood up and said, "Everyone has eaten and drunk to their heart's content. Today, we are here to witness the handover of 680 yuan to the Li family. From now on, our two families will be in-laws. The wedding date will be set for the 30th of this month. How about it?"
Let's set up 20 tables then, and our two families can have a good drink!
Fourth brother, take good care of Mengfei. Make sure she doesn't get sick; her health is the most important thing.
Li Mengfei had a smile on her face, and Liu Jiancheng also looked happy.
Everyone raised their glasses and drank. A waiter continued to pour drinks for everyone. Zhao Fengxiu pulled Li's mother and said, "My dear mother-in-law, if I give you this money, you must take it carefully."
"Things won't be settled for Mengfei anytime soon; they still want to live separately, so please don't rush them into it."
Li's mother said, "I know, I know. My mother-in-law is very thoughtful. Don't worry, I won't do that, haha."
After giving her a perfunctory warning, Zhao Fengxiu took out 680 yuan wrapped up and handed it to Li's mother.
Li's mother's eyes lit up immediately.
As soon as Li's mother accepted the gift, the two continued to toast heartily!
only.
Zhao Fengxiu had sharp eyes and kept glancing at Li Mengfei, and sure enough, she saw her nervous and uneasy look!
“Mother-in-law, please call your daughter over. I also have a gift for her—a silver bracelet with gold trim. It was part of my dowry.”
Upon hearing this, Li's mother quickly waved to Li Mengfei, urging her to come over!
Li Mengfei refused and just sat there.
Li's mother grew anxious and got up to go find her. "What are you doing? Your mother-in-law wants to see you. She has a bracelet for you! It's quite valuable!"
Li Mengfei pursed her lips, seemingly reluctant to answer.
Liu Jiancheng and his buddies, along with Li's younger brothers, were drunk and both families were in a daze.
Li's mother grabbed her, so Li Mengfei had no choice but to lean closer and whisper something to her.
Li's mother was shocked.
Helpless, Li's mother could only turn around and come back, but little did she know that as soon as she turned her head, she saw Zhao Fengxiu walking towards them!
"What are you all talking about? I'll give it to Mengfei myself!" Zhao Fengxiu said with a smile as she walked over.
Li's mother quickly stepped in, chuckling, "My dear in-law, I'm sorry, my Mengfei isn't feeling well. Give me the bracelet, I'll give it to her for you."
Zhao Fengxiu suddenly grabbed Li's mother's wrist, quite forcefully.
"Where does it hurt? Let me take a look. My family is in this field, and although their medical skills are average, they know a little about it."
Li's mother refused to listen and continued to block the way.
Zhao Fengxiu smiled, then suddenly pulled away from Li's mother and saw Li Mengfei hiding behind her!
Her face flushed slightly, and her lips trembled.
Zhao Fengxiu raised her hand and punched Liu Jiancheng on the head, who was sitting in his seat. "Are you stupid? Don't you even check if your wife is feeling unwell?"
Liu Jiancheng was stunned. "Huh? Oh."
He turned his head to look, but couldn't see anything amiss.
Li Mengfei had already turned away, not wanting to face them.
Zhao Fengxiu quickly stepped forward, grabbed Li Mengfei's wrist, and immediately moved closer!
"Mengfei, let's just consider this bracelet as... wait, why do you smell of alcohol?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Jianguo and the others all turned to look at him.
Lin Jingyi was already dissatisfied with Li Mengfei's marriage and had been paying special attention to her. She had just noticed something was wrong but dared not say anything.
As soon as Zhao Fengxiu mounted the horse, Lin Jingyi immediately chimed in, "Wait a minute! Isn't she pregnant? Can she drink alcohol? Hurry up and take her to the hospital!"
