Chapter 29 Is he your biological son?

Shen Jiale thought that people should have dignity and trees should have bark. She kicked Jiang Haoran, and if he had any self-esteem, he would not bother her again.

But she still underestimated Jiang Haoran.

Jiang Haoran went directly to the Lu family, not Lu Mingfeng's family, but Lu Yongsheng's family.

Because it was about Lu Mingfeng, Lu Yongsheng called Lu Yongfu over.

Jiang Haoran told the Lu family that Lu Mingfeng relied on saving Shen Jiale to force Shen Jiale to marry him. Shen Jiale was afraid of Lu Mingfeng, so he came to ask the Lu family to stop it.

The Lu family is very prestigious in Yaoshui Village. Of course, they don't want a son who bullies men and women. Lu Yongsheng hopes that his brother will discipline Lu Mingfeng.

Lu Yongfu returns home angrily and sees everyone eating ribs around the table. Lu Mingfeng is telling Liang Qiaoli about his good news.

Liang Qiaoli touched her son's head and said doubtfully, "He doesn't have a fever."

"Mom, what I said is true. Shen Zhiqing really wants to be my wife."

Lu Yongfu said loudly, "You'd better give up this idea as soon as possible. How could Shen Zhiqing like you? You went down the river to rescue her, but you can't use this as an excuse to force her to marry you."

Seeing that his father didn't believe him, Lu Mingfeng said, "I didn't want to force her. Shen Zhiqing wanted to marry him. If you don't believe me, go ask her."

Liang Qiaoli saw that her son didn't seem to be lying, so she confirmed again and again, "You really didn't force her?"

"Really not, or I'll take you to her place to ask clearly."

Liang Qiaoli said to her husband: "If Shen Zhiqing really wants to do it, and she doesn't mind our family, why don't we agree?"

Lu Yongfu said: "In short, no matter what Shen Zhiqing means, he can't marry her."

Lu Mingfeng said angrily: "Why can't I decide my marriage?"

Lu Yongfu stared and said: "Because I'm your father, if I say no, it's no!"

Lu Mingfeng didn't give in either: "I'm going to marry Shen Zhiqing, and I don't need your consent."

Lu Yongfu said: "If I don't agree, don't expect me to pay a penny for the bride price."

"I'll pay for the bride price myself, you don't need to worry about it." Lu Mingfeng left the room after saying this.

...

Having your own room makes everything convenient.

The curtains were made of blackout cloth, so once they were drawn, no light could be seen from outside.

Shen Jiale had just finished taking a shower in the room when he heard a knock on the door. He thought it was Tang Xiaotian coming over to play, so he opened the door and saw it was Lu Mingfeng. Shen Jiale

did not invite him in, but stood at the door and talked to him.

"What's the matter with you coming here at this time?" Shen Jiale asked.

"My father doesn't believe that you want to marry me voluntarily and doesn't agree with our marriage."

"You ask a matchmaker to come to my house to propose marriage. If I agree, it will prove that I am willing."

"He said that no matter whether you are willing or not, he will not agree to this marriage. If I insist on marrying you, he will not give a penny of betrothal gift."

Shen Jiale looked at Lu Mingfeng and asked, "What do you mean?"

She wanted to marry Lu Mingfeng just because Lu Mingfeng wanted to marry her.

With the lessons of her previous life, she would never touch love again. She married Lu Mingfeng just to facilitate changing his current living conditions, not because of love.

If Lu Mingfeng backed down because of this little difficulty, it could only mean that marrying her was not what he wanted most.

Lu Mingfeng said, "I must marry you. I came here to tell you that my father won't give me the betrothal gift, so I will earn it myself. In this way, I won't be able to get married after the busy farming season."

Shen Jiale said, "I just said that we will discuss the marriage after the busy farming season. I didn't mean to urge you to get married. I'm only 85 years old. There's no rush. You can get engaged first."

With Shen Jiale's words, Lu Mingfeng felt relieved.

"Don't worry, I will definitely earn the betrothal gift and marry you in style."

"Well, I believe you."

"Then I'll go back. You should rest early."

Seeing Shen Jiale close the door, Lu Mingfeng reluctantly went back.

...

Shen Jiale was lying on the bed and was about to turn off the lights to sleep when someone knocked on the door again.

"Who is it?" Shen Jiale asked.

"I."

"Who are you?"

"Lu Yongfu."

"Is there something urgent? If not, let's talk about it tomorrow."

"I'll just say a few words and then I'll leave."

Shen Jiale thought about it, got up and walked behind the door without opening it.

"You go ahead, I'm listening. It's not convenient at night, I hope you understand."

Seeing that Shen Jiale was unwilling to even open the door, Lu Yongfu was even more certain that Shen Jiale was not willing to marry his son.

"If Mingfeng wants you to marry him in return for saving you last time, you don't have to pay attention to him. Our Mingfeng is not worthy of you. I will control him and not let him bother you again."

"I am willing."

"What..." Things are different from what Jiang Haoran said. Lu Yongfu never thought that an educated youth in the city would fall in love with his son.

"There is no such thing as him forcing me between us, you can rest assured."

Things went beyond Lu Yongfu's expectations, and he was a little confused, but one thing was certain, that is, he opposed the marriage between the two.

"Shen Zhiqing, you are a city person. Although you are willing, I can't watch you jump into the fire pit. Mingfeng is not a good match for you. He has a bad temper and beats people. He is idle all day and will only cause trouble to the family. If your parents knew about it, they would definitely oppose this marriage."

The door suddenly opened.

Shen Jiale looked at Lu Yongfu: "Uncle Lu, I want to ask you something?"

"What is it?" Lu Yongfu thought Shen Jiale wanted to ask his son what kind of trouble he had been in, and was organizing his words.

"Is Lu Mingfeng your biological son?"

"Of course, why do you ask this?" Lu Yongfu was a little unhappy.

Shen Jiale asked, "Since he is your biological son, why would you, as a father, slander your own son?"

"I'm doing this for your own good!" Lu Yongfu was angry at Shen Jiale's ignorance.

"Thank you for your concern. I'm an adult now. I know what I'm doing and I'll take responsibility for my actions."

Seeing Shen Jiale's insistence, Lu Yongfu said, "If I don't give you the betrothal money, will you still be willing to marry Mingfeng?"

"Then wait until he earns enough betrothal money, and then talk about the marriage."

With this, Lu Yongfu was no longer worried.

Tomorrow he would go to settle Mingqi's marriage and spend all the money. Without money at home, Mingfeng would naturally not be able to marry Shen Zhiqing.

...

After Lu Yongfu returned, he asked Liang Qiaoli to go to Zhou's house tomorrow, give the betrothal money to the Zhou family, and get married as soon as possible.

Liang Qiaoli asked: "Have you asked Shen Zhiqing, did Mingfeng really not force her?"

Lu Yongfu said angrily: "I don't know what Shen Zhiqing is thinking, she said it was voluntary."

"Isn't this a good thing? I'm really afraid that Mingfeng is just being impulsive. Since both children are getting married, the betrothal gift to the Zhou family will be less. When our family gets the money at the end of the year, I will go back to my parents' home to borrow some and hold their weddings together."

"No, don't give him a penny. Didn't he say he would earn the betrothal money himself? Let him earn it himself!"
