"Qiaozhen, tell your big brother the truth, do you really want to marry that guy?" Li Daniu looked at his sister with a serious expression. "If you don't want to marry him, your big brother will find a way to help you refuse. But if you want to marry him, your big brother won't stop you. Anyway, with your big brother here, you won't be bullied."
Li Qiaozhen hesitated for two seconds. Every second longer would be disrespectful to Lin Shansheng's actions. She nodded firmly.
"Big brother, I'm willing to marry him."
Li Daniu received a definite answer.
Just then, Lin Chaosheng and Lin Shansheng also walked in.
"Brother Niu, long time no see! I wonder what you've been up to lately?"
"I'm not as busy as you, Brother Chaosheng. Where have you been making your fortune lately?"
"What do you mean by getting rich? I'm just thinking about small businesses. If I ever become rich, the first person I'll bring along will definitely be you, Brother Niu!"
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lin Chaosheng and Li Daniu got down to business.
"Chaosheng, what brings you here today? You can't just be here to chat idly, can you?"
Just as Lin Chaosheng was about to speak, he heard footsteps coming from the doorway.
Then Zhao Shufang and the others walked in.
Li Daniu was surprised that Zhao Shufang and the others had also come. He thought only the Lin Chaosheng and Lin Shansheng brothers had come. But it was good that he was happy.
After all, this shows that his sister is highly valued by the Lin family.
"Aunt Zhao and Uncle Lin, what brings you both here?"
Although Li Daniu knew perfectly well what they were there for, they hadn't said anything yet, so he could only pretend not to know.
“Then I won’t beat around the bush,” Zhao Shufang said to Li Daniu and Li Qiaozhen, adopting the air of a professional technician.
"You two must both know what kind of person my Shansheng is. We've come here today to propose an engagement to your Qiaozhen. Look, we've brought all the gifts we've brought."
Zhao Shufang turned slightly to the side so that Li Daniu and Li Qiaozhen could see what they had just bought.
"These are all things we just bought at the department store. They're all top brands right now. Take a look and see if you're satisfied. If not, we'll go and get some more."
Li Daniu was astonished when he saw the things Zhao Shufang and the others had brought. He hadn't expected the Lin family to buy such expensive things for the engagement.
"Brother Da Niu, I truly love Sister Qiaozhen and want to live a good life with her. I hope you can grant my wish to be with Sister Qiaozhen!"
This was the first time Lin Shansheng had confessed his feelings in public, and his handsome face turned as red as a monkey's bottom from embarrassment.
This was the first time Li Qiaozhen had been confessed to in public. Even though she was usually very outgoing, she was still a girl, and upon hearing such words, she couldn't help but blush and become unusually embarrassed.
Anyone with eyes could see that the two of them were mutually attracted to each other. Li Dani coughed twice, signaling his sister to stop and not make it too obvious.
"Aunt Zhao, so you've all come here today to propose marriage?"
“That’s right. Our whole family came here today to propose marriage to your Qiaozhen. I think you can see how important this is to us, otherwise we wouldn’t have made such a big fuss. Not only did the whole family come, but we even brought the three turns and one sound.”
“I still have 1,000 yuan here, which is the bride price.”
Lin Shansheng took out an envelope and, seeing Li Daniu's serious expression, said, "Brother Daniu, don't worry. Sister Qiaozhen will definitely not have a hard life with me. When we get to the city, I will work hard so that Sister Qiaozhen can live a happy life with me. Although I can't give you and Sister Qiaozhen any guarantees right now, please believe me and give me a chance to take care of Sister Qiaozhen."
Lin Shansheng's words were sincere and no one could find fault with them. Li Qiaozhen looked at Lin Shansheng with emotion. Although she knew that a man's words could not be completely trusted, at least he was a man who dared to speak such sincere words in front of his elder brother.
"Of course I know what kind of person you are, Brother Lin, but marriage is not something that can be explained in a few words."
Lin Chaosheng looked at Li Daniu and immediately saw what he was up to. He said, "Brother Daniu, just tell me. Name your conditions. As long as the Lin family can meet them, we will definitely do so."
"Look at what you're saying. I, Li Daniu, am not the kind of person who would sell his sister." Li Daniu glared at Lin Chaosheng and said, "I only have this one sister. If I were to let her get married now, I really wouldn't be able to bear it."
"Then you'd better think it over. My brother isn't some slow-moving product; on the contrary, he's in high demand. So many women are waiting to marry him. He's handsome, capable, and can make money."
Lin Chaosheng started praising his brother, and Lin Shanhai coughed twice, signaling Lin Chaosheng to be less praising.
"It's not as exaggerated as my brother said..."
Lin Shansheng scratched his head sheepishly.
"Alright, alright, you've already brought all this stuff here, do you think I, Li Daniu, would let you carry it back? But let me make this clear from the start, my sister isn't someone just anyone can marry. Since you, Lin Shansheng, dare to marry my sister, it proves you're a man of courage."
"I, Li Daniu, don't expect my sister to live a life of luxury and wealth with you. But there's only one condition: after we get married, you're not allowed to find other women outside, and you're not allowed to bully my sister. Everything else is negotiable."
Li Daniu is a straightforward person. In just a few words, he expressed his biggest worry, which is also what he values most.
"Brother Da Niu, you can rest assured about this. I, Lin Shansheng, promise you that I will only ever have Li Qiaozhen as my woman for the rest of my life. I will never cheat on her, and I will never divorce her!"
Lin Shansheng's words were firm and resolute, and Li Qiaozhen's heart was struck hard in that instant.
"Good lad!"
Li Daniu roared, his eyes filled with admiration for Lin Shansheng.
"So, our marriage is settled?"
Zhao Shufang asked tentatively, and Li Daniu nodded, then turned to look at Li Qiaozhen.
"Girl, would you marry him?"
Li Qiaozhen was even more decisive; she had always been straightforward and would never change her mind once she made up her mind.
"I do."
Li Qiaozhen spoke loudly, staring intently at Lin Shansheng, whose eyes lit up instantly after he finished speaking.
"Okay, let's discuss the wedding date then."
Lin Shanhai spoke for the first time, and Li Daniu nodded. The group then went inside the house.
As soon as they sat down, someone brought them tea and snacks.
"Qiaozhen, do you want to get married in the city, or have a banquet here at our home? Do you want two events or just one?"
