"No, I don't agree. Why should we cancel the engagement? The Li family is wrong. They didn't take good care of their daughter and let her run away!
Chen Yibin said helplessly, "Mom, Li Yuerong has already run away. What else can we do if we don't cancel the engagement? Do I have to go to the capital and bring her over to marry me?"
He and Li Yuerong had no feelings for each other in the first place. Not to mention the age difference, they had only met a few times.
The two of them were reconciled through a matchmaker. Besides, Li Wenhua had saved his life when he was a child, so that's why they got engaged.
Therefore, for Chen Yibin, it doesn’t matter whether he gets married or not.
In fact, deep down, he didn't want to marry someone with whom he had no emotional foundation.
Fortunately, Li Yuerong was not old enough and he did not report his marriage to the army.
So he accepted the breakup of the engagement and felt a little excited.
Mother Chen suddenly remembered what she had just heard others talk about when she went out.
"I heard that Li Shuhua's biological daughter has returned from the capital, so the marriage between the two families must continue. You will definitely have a daughter-in-law!"
Chen Yibin's sister, Chen Xiaolan, poked at him, "Mom, we haven't even seen what Uncle Li's biological daughter looks like. What if she looks like a female dinosaur? Aren't you harming my eldest brother?"
Li Wenjing: (You look like a dinosaur, and your whole family looks like dinosaurs).
Chen's mother...
It was her own daughter who wisely reminded her: "Xiao Lan is right. I have to go to Old Li's house to check out the situation. If his daughter is pretty, then the engagement between our two families will continue. If she is ugly, then forget it and cancel the engagement!"
Chen's mother was a person who did what she said. As soon as she finished speaking, she stood up, took a black headscarf from the table, wrapped it around her head, and went out and headed straight for Old Li's house.
"mom!"
Chen Yibin wanted to pull Chen's mother back, but his legs were too weak. When he stood up, he couldn't even touch the corner of Chen's mother's clothes. He almost fell because he stood up too quickly.
What the hell does he think of himself? Does Chen Yibin choose to marry a woman based on her looks?
Old Li’s house.
Xia Yulan made a bowl of hand-rolled noodles for Li Wenjing. It was made of pure white noodles, with a poached egg, minced meat, and chopped green onions on top.
You can tell it’s good just by smelling it.
Didn’t you see that the soldiers standing next to you were drooling?
Li Wenjing likes this cool-looking yet slightly awkward brother very much.
She deliberately teased him: "Bingzi, do you want to eat?"
Bingzi rolled his eyes and said stubbornly, "I don't want to eat it!"
What I was thinking in my heart was, is this new sister a fool? In this day and age, let alone pure white flour noodles, even eggs and meat sauce are precious things, and they can't even eat a bowl of this during the Chinese New Year.
Li Wenjing continued to tease him: "But I think I saw someone drooling!"
Bingzi immediately wiped his mouth with his sleeve, only then did he realize that he had been tricked.
He glared at Li Wenjing angrily: "Are your eyesight not working well?"
Li Wenjing...
The little guy is angry!
Xia Yulan looked at the brother and sister and said with a smile: "Jingjing, don't worry about him. Hurry and eat first. You haven't eaten well these past few days. I'll make his meal right away!"
Only Li Wenjing's is made of pure white flour, the rest are a mixture of black flour and corn flour.
Jingjing is back, and the Chen family's marriage has to be cancelled. The betrothal gift was taken away by that ungrateful person, and they have to find a way to get the money back.
Li Wenjing is much older than Bingzi. How could she eat well by herself and let Bingzi just watch her eat? She couldn't do such a thing.
She took out a bowl from the cupboard, divided the noodles into half, cut the poached egg into two, and picked out some of the臊子.
"Bingzi, can you help me out? I've already eaten some steamed buns, and I can't finish all the noodles. Can you help me share some?"
Bingzi glanced at Li Wenjing in disbelief and said awkwardly, "I only ate this because you asked me for help, not because I was greedy!"
Li Wenjing rubbed Bingzi's head with amusement: "Yes, you are right. I asked you for help. Please help me eat it quickly!"
While working, Xia Yulan watched the interaction between the siblings and felt very relieved.
She was originally afraid that her family would not be able to accept Jingjing for a while, and she was also afraid that Jingjing would not be able to integrate into the family.
At this moment, Chen's mother pushed the door open and came in.
"Yulan, what delicious food did you make that smells so good?"
"It's my in-laws...Sister-in-law Chen, why are you here? Jingjing just came back today. She walked such a long way and must not have eaten well on the way. I wanted to make some noodles for her to eat to replenish her body, but she insisted on giving half of the noodles to Bingzi!"
After entering the room, Chen's mother sat directly opposite Li Wenjing. Looking at the fair and clean Li Wenjing, she felt very satisfied.
This girl looks like a blessed person, but what happened to her is a bit bad.
She almost took a magnifying glass and turned Li Wenjing's body 360 degrees to look at it again.
Xia Yulan was rolling noodles while talking to Chen's mother, and did not see Chen's mother's eyes.
"Sister Chen, how is Yibin's leg recovering?"
Chen's mother smiled and replied, "He's almost ready. If you need any work, just tell him to come and help. A son-in-law is half a son. As his mother-in-law, don't feel sorry for that brat. Just use him as you want!"
When Chen's mother said this, Li Wenjing stopped eating noodles and looked at Chen's mother in surprise.
Now that Li Yuerong has run away, where can we find a mother-in-law?
Besides, even if Li Yuerong agreed to the marriage, the mother-in-law should be Wang Jinju, so what does it have to do with Xia Yulan?
Is the Chen family planning to take advantage of her?
Did he want her to marry Chen Yibin instead of Li Yuerong?
No way?
The Chen family really wouldn't do such an outrageous thing, right?
Isn’t it said that Chen Yibin is a cadre in the army?
Do you agree with what his mother did?
Xia Yulan also stopped the animal in her hand and said to Chen's mother: "Sister-in-law Chen, this matter is indeed our family's fault. It was me and the child's father who failed to educate the child well, and he did such a thing. I am really sorry. Your Yibin is a capable man. You should be able to find her by someone. Once you find her, you can do whatever you want to her. You can beat her or scold her. If all else fails, you can send her to the police station and sue her for marriage fraud."
"I've discussed this with the child's father. If we really can't find the person, we'll accept the betrothal money and return it! No one's money was blown away by the wind. Don't worry, we will definitely find a way to return it to you without missing a cent!"
