Cui Yingping was stunned.
Song Qinghe hung up the phone.
Just as I reached the door, Cui Yingping called again.
Song Qinghe hesitated for a moment, but still answered the call, "Qinghe, let's talk about this when I come back from further studies.
The most important thing now is to cure my mother’s illness.”
Song Qinghe shook his head. "He shouldn't have had any illusions."
"Let your brother take care of it. I'm very busy recently."
Song Qinghe hung up the phone after he finished speaking. In the past, he was always the one who got hung up on, but now it felt good to be the other way around.
Hearing that Song Qinghe was very busy, the Cui family was very dissatisfied, "He did it on purpose, wanting us to beg him at the critical moment.
He just wants to remarry my sister."
Li Xiulan sighed, "Back then, Yingping was the vice president, so Song Qinghe was definitely not worthy of your sister.
Now, after picking and choosing, he is the only one who can be considered mediocre.
Song Qinghe has been quite obedient over the years. Although he has not remarried, he treats our family affairs as his own.
He's in a bad mood now, Yingqiang, you have to try to persuade him."
Cui Yingqiang remained noncommittal.
Li Qiuxiang called Li Qiumei and said, "Qiumei, we're going to meet Xiaofang's family this weekend. Please come back and help us check things out."
"Sister, have Xiaopeng and the others reached the stage of meeting their parents so soon?"
Li Qiuxiang sighed, "It's not us who are anxious to see them, it's Xiaofang's parents who are anxious to see us."
Li Qiumei told her, "Sister, I have something to do this weekend, you two can talk first."
Since Li Qiumei didn't go, Li Qiuxiang called the old couple Hu Lanying.
When the two families met, Li Qiuxiang booked a table at the restaurant, but she didn't expect that the other party would come with two tables of people.
Li Qiuxiang had no choice but to add two more tables.
During the meal, a middle-aged woman stood up and shouted, "Our Xiaofang is beautiful and capable. We can't accept a betrothal gift less than 20,000 yuan."
Li Qiuxiang took a deep breath and said, "In the entire Beishan County, no family's betrothal gift exceeds 10,000 yuan.
I didn't expect Xiaofang's family to ask for such a high price."
Hu Lanying rolled her eyes at the middle-aged woman and said, "My grandson has been to college and has now been admitted to a large unit. He has a stable job and a high salary.
Logically speaking, our family would not consider this unemployed country boy.
Because the two children like each other, I let them do what they want."
When Xiaofang's parents heard this, their faces turned unhappy.
"Xiaofang, is this what you meant by the whole family liking you?"
Liao Xiaofang's face flushed and she looked at Zhou Xiaopeng aggrievedly.
Zhou Xiaopeng looked at Hu Lanying helplessly, "Grandma, please stop talking."
Li Guofu also whispered to Hu Lanying, "You don't have to pay any money, why do you care so much?
Even so many delicious dishes can’t stop you from eating.”
Hu Lanying snorted, shut her mouth and went back to eating.
A middle-aged man said to Xiaofang's father, "Third brother, when Xiaofang gets married, let your children Shuanghua and Shuanggui follow their sister to the county town to study.
The quality of education in the city is good, and both brothers will have a bright future."
Xiaofang's father nodded without hesitation, which made Zhou Xiaopeng shudder.
He turned his head to look at Xiaofang and saw that she was silently picking up food for her two younger brothers.
Zhou Xiaopeng thought that Xiaofang must not have heard him, but the next second, Xiaofang's fourth uncle spoke again, "Xiaofang, have you found a good school for your brother?"
Liao Xiaofang shook her head, "Not yet."
She still didn't know how to talk to Zhou Xiaopeng.
Her father immediately said, "Summer vacation is about to start, you better hurry up.
Your cousin's second son used to be at the bottom of the class in the town school, but after following his brother to the city for a year, he was admitted to high school."
Xiaofang looked up at Zhou Xiaopeng guiltily. She saw that he was pouring wine for his fourth uncle and didn't know if he heard it.
Xiaofang's aunt spoke up, "We've recognized our relationship today, so let's hurry up and arrange their wedding."
Hu Lanying didn't want to stand out, but someone just happened to come and jump around in front of her.
Xiaofang's grandmother smiled and said to Hu Lanying, "We are old now, so we should not meddle in the affairs of young people.
To be honest, the people who came to Xiaofang's house to propose marriage had kicked down her door, and none of those guys were any worse than your grandson."
Hu Lanying laughed angrily, "In that case, I think your family can choose carefully. There will definitely be someone better than Xiaopeng."
Xiaofang's grandmother was so stunned that she couldn't speak and could only laugh dryly.
Xiaofang's mother came out to smooth things over, "Hey, grandma-in-law, don't be angry.
We agreed because we liked Xiaopeng's steadiness and stability, and we both have a lot in common. "
Hu Lanying snorted inwardly. A perfect match? If her grandson hadn't been kind and couldn't bear to see Liao Xiaofang suffer, how could their family have gotten this advantage?
However, things had come to this point, and there was no point in saying more. Besides, she couldn't make the decision herself, so Hu Lanying just kept quiet.
Zhou Xiaopeng felt overwhelmed when he saw Xiaofang's family, who were full of calculations.
After sending Xiaofang's family away, Zhou Xiaopeng just returned home and heard his mother complaining to his aunt on the phone.
"Qiumei, this Xiaofang is indeed a brother-supporting demon, and her whole family is full of people who dare to think and say what they want."
Zhou Xiaopeng was sitting on the sofa when his mother suddenly called him, "Xiaopeng, your aunt is calling."
When his aunt asked him what he thought, Zhou Xiaopeng sighed and said, "Aunt, I'll have a good talk with Xiaofang tomorrow or the day after tomorrow and tell you what the situation is.
Don't worry, I'm scared too."
Hu Lanying rambled on and on, "Liao Xiaofang's family is no pushover.
Qiuxiang, if you agree to let her in, all the family members behind her will be supported by Xiaopeng.
The burden is too heavy, you should find him another one."
Zhou Xiaopeng smiled and comforted her, "Grandma, don't worry!
If Xiaofang really listens to her parents' opinions on everything and has no opinions or ideas of her own, then I will seriously consider the advice you give me.
After all, marriage is a lifelong event.
Yuanbao is on summer vacation and he will go to middle school in September.
In this graduation exam, Yuanbao finally reached the standard set by Li Qiumei, so Li Qiumei rewarded him by going to Beijing to visit Cheng Zhiming.
When Xiao Qinqin heard that Li Qiumei and her mother were going to Beijing for a trip, she also clamored to go see her son.
"Our Zixuan didn't come back during the holiday. He said he had some rehearsal to attend. I'll go with you to see him."
The three of them took a train to Beijing and went to Song Zixuan's school first.
Maybe they are going to organize some activities, there are quite a lot of students in the school.
When they arrived at the dormitory building, parents were not allowed to enter, so Li Qiumei and the other two had to sit in the campus downstairs, eating snacks and chatting, waiting for Song Zixuan to come out.
Xiao Qinqin suddenly stopped talking and stared at the building not far away.
