Chapter 500 Severing Relationship (Part 3)
"What's the difference between brother and not brother? We are all family. Dashu is naturally Meihua's brother. Besides, Taohua is already engaged to the third son of the captain of Sangou Village. How can she marry the son of Zhang the butcher?" Old Mrs. Liu said angrily after hearing Liu Shuyu's sarcastic words.
"Meihua and I have been engaged since childhood. Why did you marry her to the son of Zhang the butcher?" Liu Shuyu asked, staring at Old Lady Liu.
"You and Meihua are not engaged. It was just a verbal joke between the adults at the beginning. Don't take it seriously." Old Mrs. Liu said after hearing what Liu Shuyu said.
Liu Shuyu was so angry that he laughed when he heard what Old Lady Liu said. He looked at Old Lady Liu and said, "Before my family fell into poverty, your family would come to my house every day to talk about relatives and friends. Why didn't you say that my plum blossom engagement was just a verbal joke between adults?
Now that my family is in poverty, you say that the engagement between Meihua and me is just a joke between adults. Don't you think your behavior is shameful? " When Liu Shuyu thought of the behavior of Mrs. Liu's family, he became furious and he didn't care about maintaining the superficial peace with Mrs. Liu.
"What nonsense are you talking about? We went to your house because your parents invited us to repay my son for saving his life. Now you're saying it as if we were going to your house every day just to curry your favor."
Old Mrs. Liu would never admit what she had done in the past, no matter how hard she tried. Anyway, Liu Shuyu was the only one left in his family now. Only Liu Shuyu knew what had happened in his family before, and no one else knew. So as long as she gritted her teeth and refused to admit it, no one would believe what Liu Shuyu said, because he was the son of a landlord.
"Old lady, you and I both know what happened in the past, and I don't want to argue with you now. I came here today to propose marriage, but I have a request before giving the betrothal gift."
Liu Shuyu knew that if he argued with Old Lady Liu for three days and three nights there would be no result, so he gave up arguing with Old Lady Liu and directly told her the purpose of his visit today.
"What do you want?"
"I want Meihua to sever ties with her family."
"Impossible." Old Mrs. Liu said immediately after hearing Liu Shuyu's words.
"If you don't agree, then I won't marry Meihua."
Everyone in the room, including Liu Meihua, was stunned when they heard Liu Shuyu's words. They did not expect Liu Shuyu to say such a thing.
"If you don't want to marry her, then don't marry her. Meihua is pretty, good at housework, and literate. There's no need to worry about no one marrying her." After hearing what Liu Shuyu said, Old Lady Liu looked at him with disdain.
"Grandma, please agree to let me marry A Yu." Liu Meihua said crying after hearing what Old Lady Liu said.
"You are such a loser. Didn't you hear that he wouldn't marry you? And yet you still want to pay for him? Aren't you a cheapskate?" After hearing what Liu Meihua said, Old Lady Liu poked Liu Meihua's head with her finger and cursed.
"Old lady, you are wrong. It's not that I don't want to marry Meihua. I want her to break off her relationship with your family before I marry her."
"Tell me why you insist that Meihua break off relations with our family?"
"Because you have plotted against Meihua once, I'm afraid you will plot against her a second time, so I must make Meihua break off her relationship with you." Liu Shuyu said firmly.
