"Haha, my uncle just talks too much. He doesn't live in the city and doesn't know the advantages of the city. Dad, don't take it to heart."
Tang Liang couldn't help but explain to Li Junsheng, but Li Junsheng didn't need to give Tang Liang a hard time, so he smiled and nodded at him!
If Tang Dongliang hadn't said anything, no one would have taken this little incident to heart.
Ignoring the looks from Mr. and Mrs. Tang, he retorted angrily, "Who said I don't know anything and talk nonsense? My son also runs a big business in the city. He even invited me to live in the city a while ago. If the city isn't good, it isn't good!"
Li Guohua chuckled. Tang Liang's uncle was used to living in the countryside and couldn't adapt to city life, so that was fine.
They just have to stick to their guns here, I can't believe it!
Today was supposed to be a day to discuss marriage with Tang Liang's parents, but Li Guohua didn't take his uncle seriously at all.
Let him say whatever he wants, he's just a clown!
However, this clown Tang Dongliang, in his self-righteousness, whispered to Tang Liang's parents, "Look at you all, so useless, you're a disgrace to the family. What's there to be afraid of with this guy surnamed Li? Can't I even say a few words to him?"
"They just run a small restaurant in the city, and you think they're so great that they're willing to be inferior? We have to give them a hard time the first time we meet."
Whether Tang Dongliang did it intentionally or unintentionally, he made sure that Li Junsheng and the others heard every single word he said.
Li Guohua was puzzled. Was Tang Liang's uncle trying to sabotage the marriage because he couldn't stand seeing him marry such a good girl as Xiaoyu?
Otherwise, how could it be like this?
Li Junsheng took a sip of tea, remaining remarkably calm. He gave Li Xiaoyu a reassuring look.
Tang Liang's uncle is definitely no good, and Li Junsheng wants to see how Tang Liang's parents will handle this matter!
If this uncle were to manipulate her, given how weak he is, her daughter would surely suffer if she married him.
In fact, Tang Liang's parents were not as weak as Li Junsheng thought.
Tang's father frowned and said to his elder brother with displeasure, "Brother, what are you saying? How can you go so far!"
Tang's mother nodded in agreement, "Yes, we're the ones who asked for their daughter's hand in marriage. It's already a favor that they didn't give us a hard time."
"Uncle, what exactly do you want? Do you still want me to get married? Haven't you ruined my brother's divorce enough?"
Tang Liang had already turned cold towards Tang Dongliang. When Tang Liang mentioned his son's sore spot, Tang Dongliang glared at him fiercely.
"It was clearly your cousin's wife who was being unreasonable. What did she mean by asking me to ruin things!"
Tang Liang sneered in anger; his cousin's wife was considered a very gentle and virtuous person.
If it weren't for my uncle and aunt nitpicking and finding fault with others, would they have forced my sister-in-law and cousin to divorce?
The aunt muttered under her breath, "So what if she divorced my son? She deserves it because she's not lucky enough. My son is capable now, he can find anyone good!"
However, when the topic of divorce came up, the aunt's gaze fell on Li Junsheng.
"Xiaoyu's dad, I heard you and Xiaoyu's mom got divorced. Is that true? I'm not saying this to be mean, but at your age, getting a divorce is such a disgrace to your child!"
Li Xiaoyu looked at Tang Liang with a puzzled expression, wanting to ask him what was going on and why he was making things difficult for her father.
"Aunt, why are you bringing this up? If things have escalated to the point of divorce, it's because there are genuine and unbearable differences between you. What's shameful about that?"
Tang Liang's face darkened, and he raised his voice considerably when speaking to his aunt.
Tang Liang's parents quickly interrupted.
“My dear in-laws, let’s get down to business. Look at these two young people, they seem to like each other quite a bit, and they’re the right age. When are you going to get their marriage certificate and have a wedding?”
"Yes, yes, if Tang Liang gets married, we can help him buy a house in the city and settle down. Xiao Yu will definitely not be wronged."
Li Junsheng nodded, Tang Liang's parents must be good people.
For the sake of her son, she was willing to spend money to buy a house in the city.
It's better to live in the city from now on, so I can stay away from this awful uncle!
"I have no objections. We can just pick an auspicious day this year and get the two kids married."
"Let's go take a look at the house in a few days, and your in-laws can come along."
Seeing his younger brother having to spend a fortune to buy a house in the city to get married, Uncle Tang Dongliang was very unhappy.
He wanted to say something more, but Tang Liang's father privately nudged his older brother, telling him to say less.
Otherwise, he would really ruin his son's marriage.
Tang Liang's aunt, however, took a sip of tea, then turned her head and spat it out.
"What kind of tea is this? It tastes like tree leaves, so bitter and astringent."
Auntie was just looking for trouble, but before Li Junsheng could say anything, Tang Liang was so angry that he snatched the teacup from her hand!
“Aunt, I can tell you don’t know much about tea. If you don’t like this good tea, then don’t drink it.”
My aunt rolled her eyes and said in a shrill, loud voice, "I wouldn't drink this rotten tea even if it were given to me for free!"
Even Fang Youcai couldn't stand it anymore and explained to his wife's elder brother and sister-in-law, "Brother and sister-in-law, you don't know what you're talking about. This tea is genuine Maojian Xueya!"
“In the past, that was something the emperor and empress dowager in the palace drank. It didn’t taste like tree leaves at all.”
Li Junsheng has already shown Tang Liang a great deal by serving him such fine tea!
Fang Youcai sighed inwardly, wishing he hadn't notified Tang Liang's uncle and aunt to come.
These two, suddenly rich after being poor, not only made a fool of themselves but also annoyed others!
"Section Chief Fang actually recognizes this tea. I hope you'll drink more of it."
Li Junsheng calmly poured Fang Youcai another cup of tea, and Fang Youcai quickly raised the cup to accept it.
Such fine tea, yet neither Tang Dongliang nor his aunt recognized it; a hint of embarrassment flashed in their eyes!
Tang Liang retorted to Rong Youyan, "My father-in-law is capable, but he's usually too low-key. He doesn't show off his good stuff directly, even though it's not like we don't have anything good at home."
Tang Dongliang just couldn't stand Tang Liang's worthless attitude.
Putting tea aside for now, Tang Dongliang rolled his eyes, then, adopting the air of the head of the Tang family, arrogantly asked Li Junsheng a question.
"Xiaoyu's father, Tang Liang spent a fortune buying a house and giving such a large dowry to marry your daughter. What are you planning to give Xiaoyu as a dowry?"
"You don't just have a few tattered quilts and sheets, do you? The Tang family has plenty of those!"
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoyu pinched Tang Liang hard and whispered to him, "Who does your family look down on? Can't we discuss the marriage properly?"
Tang Liang quickly apologized to Li Xiaoyu!
