Zhang Liao Liao heard the voices outside the house.
My heart was pounding.
That voice is so familiar!
It sounds exactly like the voice of the owner of Qimingxing (启明星)!
Lin Xiaotong had no interest in arguing with Wu Changfeng; she was too annoyed by her own situation.
She yelled at the top of her lungs, "Brother-in-law! I'm really annoyed here, can you please stop messing around!"
"Why don't you freeze to death!"
Jia Yan also knew that Lin Xiaotong and Wu Changfeng didn't get along and would fight whenever they met, so she was used to it.
Instead, they advised Zhang Liao's family: "I think we shouldn't make a decision so quickly. Let's discuss it further. Can we increase the bride price?"
“My child really likes Zhang Liaoliao. He even calls out Zhang Liaoliao in his sleep. His feelings for her are so deep. Making a hasty decision would hurt her feelings.”
Zhang Liaoliao's father disagreed: "We just need to cut to the chase. There's nothing more to discuss. We're not concerned about the bride price, but about their future life."
"Please think about this carefully. We're in a time of economic turmoil. Only civil servants and state-owned enterprises are truly stable. Please don't drag my daughter down, okay? I'm begging you."
Lin Xiaotong waved her hand: "No need to beg, it makes it sound like my family is being unreasonable. If you want to separate, then separate, I have no objection!"
Lin Xiaoru reached out and slapped him: "What breakup?! You've been together for so long, you're just about to set a date for the wedding, what's there to break up about! I think Zhang Liaoliao is fine, don't hold a grudge!"
Lin Xiaoru said to Zhang's father, "How about this, let the two children go out and talk, and we can chat inside. Any problem can be solved that way."
“It’s unsolvable. There’s no point in talking about it inside or outside the house. It’s impossible to take it down one by one!” Zhang Liao’s father continued, “To be honest, Lin Xiaotong is good, but her work is really not up to par.”
Lin Xiaoru said helplessly, "To put it bluntly, what you're looking at isn't the job, but the economic foundation, right? If you have money, why worry about not living a good life? Isn't that right?"
Zhang Liaoliao's parents exchanged glances and then nodded: "You can change your mindset if you want, but we're definitely not after money. I said we don't need a bride price, but there has to be some security."
Lin Xiaotong chimed in, "Sis, stop talking nonsense. We broke up, so what? I'm starving, let's eat!"
Lin Xiaoru roared in fury: "Eat your big head, you idiot!"
Then Lin Xiaoru sighed at Zhang Liao's family: "Since that's the case, then I have no choice but to lay my cards on the table. My family isn't what you see on the surface. Actually—"
Before Lin Xiaoru could finish speaking, Wu Changfeng's voice came again.
"Lin Xiaotong!" Wu Changfeng burst into the room, pushing open the door and yelling, "I've never seen such a lazy person as you! The toilet has a huge hole, and you haven't even fixed it—"
Wu Changfeng looked closely and realized there were several more people in the room!
Who are these people?
I don't recognize the older ones, and they don't seem to be from the village either.
Young girls are affected, though.
It seems like... Zhang Liaoliao, right?
Zhang Liao's worldview collapsed the moment he saw Wu Changfeng.
What are you doing here, boss?!
wrong!
Lin Xiaotong calls the boss her brother-in-law!
Is this heavily pregnant woman the boss's wife?
Zhang Liaoliao's eyes turned dark.
Holy crap!
Lin Xiaotong actually lied to me! Why didn't she tell me about this relationship?!
My God!
What do we do now? My family came to call off the engagement, and who would have thought that the boss was Lin Xiaotong's brother-in-law!
If I had known this would happen, I would have talked to my parents and told them that the big boss of Qimingxing was a relative, and then this farce would have been avoided.
Zhang Liao glared fiercely at Lin Xiaotong.
Wow, you've been keeping it well hidden!
Lin Xiaotong was confused by Zhang Liaoliao's behavior. They were about to break up, so why was he acting all angry?
Isn't this exactly what you wanted?
Wu Changfeng was also stunned. Why did Zhang Liaoliao come to visit?
Shouldn't it be Lin Xiaotong visiting your house to wish you a Happy New Year?
Wu Changfeng didn't think much of it and greeted the others with a smile: "And who are these two?"
Lin Xiaoru gave an introduction.
Wu Changfeng said, "Oh, I must toast you. Although Lin Xiaotong is utterly worthless, the fact that you married your daughter to him is a blessing he's earned through eight lifetimes. Don't worry, if Lin Xiaotong dares to bully her, I'll be the first to teach him a lesson!"
Lin Xiaotong's lips twitched, and she immediately became displeased: "You good-for-nothing brother-in-law, do you have the right to talk to me like that? You're someone else's driver, and you even feel superior?"
Lin Xiaoru's face darkened, and she slapped Wu Changfeng: "Don't say anything, you have no idea what's going on..."
Jia Yan wished she could chew Wu Changfeng up alive. Normally, it's fine for the two of you to attack each other.
What kind of time is this? You, Wu Changfeng, are still looking down on Lin Xiaotong. If this marriage doesn't work out, you'll have to find a wife for my son!
Wu Changfeng glanced at everyone present.
I also felt a little puzzled.
Can't we even joke around during the Lunar New Year?
This is to inflate Zhang Liaoliao's social standing.
What's going on? They all look like they're mourning a funeral.
Wu Changfeng then asked Lin Xiaoru, "What's wrong? They're just eating and drinking. They're getting married, it's a happy occasion."
Lin Xiaoru held her forehead and recounted what had happened.
Upon hearing this, Wu Changfeng turned to Lin Xiaotong with disdain: "You're doomed! They're both interested in each other, and things are almost over. The duck that was about to be eaten is about to fly away. What can you do now?"
Lin Xiaotong said angrily, "What's it to you! You're even more useless than me! Didn't you beg my family to marry my sister to you back then?"
Wu Changfeng felt awkward for a moment, then slammed his hand on the table: "That's my skill! Why aren't you crying! You just want to break up like that, what a coward!"
