"Of course not!"
These days, hooliganism is punishable by death. Even if Qiao Lizheng did have that intention and wanted to deny everything, he wouldn't dare to say it out loud!
"Since you don't, does that mean you admit you're in a romantic relationship?"
"I guess so!"
"Ha! What do you mean 'consider it'! Doesn't Qiao Zhiqing know that Xiumei is engaged? What do you mean by this? Where does this leave the Yu family?!"
This is clearly a hostile visit!
As Qiao Lizheng watched Li Xiulan's chanting, recitation, sitting, and striking, his unease grew stronger.
"Auntie, you're exaggerating. Dating isn't a one-sided affair; it requires mutual consent from both sides."
Besides, I never took the initiative to seek out Comrade Yu Xiumei; it was always Comrade Yu Xiumei who came to me!
Li Tielan turned and glared at her good-for-nothing daughter, but things had come to this point, and she had to solidify this status today before she could go to the Xiao family to annul the engagement!
"Qiao Zhiqing has misunderstood. Auntie didn't mean anything by it. Since Xiumei likes you and you like Xiumei, that's the best thing that could happen."
As for the engagement with the Xiao family, I will cancel it for Xiumei, but you and Xiumei are not young anymore.
How about we set a date for you two to get your marriage certificate?
As for the betrothal gifts, the Xiao family originally agreed on sixty-six, so just follow that!
Good grief, this guy's trying to cling to me!
Qiao Lizheng was filled with doubt and unease. He had only used the woman who offered herself to him as a pastime, but who would have thought that he would be so unlucky as to be caught by her own mother today.
This forced marriage on the spot really left Qiao Lizheng at a loss, but no matter what, he knew he couldn't refuse now.
Otherwise, Li Tielan would definitely not let it go. Even if he doesn't get labeled as a hooligan, it will definitely affect his reputation.
"Since you've said so, Auntie, I'll naturally do as you say. But getting married is a big deal, so I need to let my family know first. Would you mind waiting for me for a few days?"
"Since Qiao has said so, what else is there to complain about? Your aunt and Xiumei are waiting at home for your good news."
Don't worry, from now on in Tie Niu Brigade, your auntie guarantees that no one will be able to bully you.
If there are any blind fools, Xiumei's one older brother, two younger brothers, and all her cousins are not just for show!
After you two get married, you can live on your own if you want, or you have spare rooms available.
Qiao Lizheng listened to what Li Tielan said casually, but it was unlikely that he would move into the Yu family's house; he didn't want to lose his freedom.
As for those cousins and other relatives, Qiao Lizheng knew that these people were not just there to support him, but also to warn him.
At this moment, Qiao Lizheng felt somewhat annoyed. He shouldn't have been tempted by Yu Xiumei's beauty in the first place. Now, he was trapped!
Just think of Song Wanru's tender little hands the night before, and Qiu Yuefang's voluptuous figure yesterday afternoon.
I wonder if I really marry Yu Xiumei, I'll still have the chance to go out and hunt for other women...
"Why...."
