Just like last year, as soon as the Lantern Festival was over, the Li brothers led a group of people who were going to school from home to Wuhan University.
Li Xu originally thought that he would have to stay here for two days before waiting for Li Haitao and his parents, but he didn't expect that they arrived earlier than him and spent the Lantern Festival here.
What is even more unexpected is that this time, not only Li Haitao’s father Li Chengcai and mother Wang Fangfang came, but also his younger brother Li Haibo, uncle Li Chengliang and aunt Xue Na.
During the winter vacation, his eldest brother and two cousins came to pick him up. Li Chengliang and Xue Na were the parents of his two cousins.
You have to know that when Li Ping forced him to break off ties with his relatives, the relatives he referred to were these three people.
So after learning the identities of Li Chengliang and his wife, the Li family and Xiong Xue were shocked and didn't know what was going on.
But they soon found out.
It turned out that Li Chengliang and his wife had two purposes for coming here this time. One was to deliver the letter of severance between Li Haitao and his two cousins, and the other was to attend his engagement ceremony with Li Ju.
After hearing this, the Li family was confused.
Are you two so open-minded that you are not angry at all about your nephew breaking off the relationship with your biological son?
As if he could see through their thoughts, Li Chengliang couldn't help showing a bitter expression and explained, "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me when I say this, but what my two sons did made us, as parents, want to sever ties with them.
You may not believe it, but we sincerely believe that Haitao did the right thing by breaking off relations with them, so as to avoid being dragged down by those two bastards in the future."
His words truly came from the heart.
It's just that it's not comprehensive.
Like Li Haitao's father, he is a small local leader in Yangzhou. Although he is not a high-ranking official, he has all the qualities that an official should possess.
For example, you need to know how to make choices.
On one side are two good-for-nothing sons, and on the other side is a nephew who is studying at a key university and has a bright future. It doesn't require any thought for him, and he chooses the latter without a doubt.
After all, he doesn't only have these two sons.
When my nephew grows up, he can help my other sons.
What's more, Li Ju is also a student at Wuhan University. If she can get along with her nephew, it will mean that her family will have an extra helper, and her son will also get more help.
In order to achieve this goal and win Li Ju's favor, he took a special leave and came to deliver a letter of severance to Li Xu and others, and also exposed their shortcomings.
His actions did make Li Ju feel somewhat favorable towards him.
Not only Li Ju, but also Li Xu and others felt the same way. They all thought that the couple were reasonable people.
Li Chengliang's words were unanswerable, so Li Ping could only change the subject. "Uncles, if you want to discuss marriage, you can only go to our hometown and discuss it with our parents. We can't make the decision."
Sun Xiu had said before that if Li Haitao could do what he promised and his parents brought up the matter of engagement again, then they would be taken to Tang County.
Now both conditions are met, so Li Ping said this.
Li Chengcai looked embarrassed. "It's not that we don't want to go, it's just that we can't go. The destination written on our letter of introduction is Wuhan."
Before coming here, he didn't know whether this trip could reach the stage of discussing marriage. In addition, the person in Yangzhou who was responsible for processing the letter of introduction knew him. If he told the other party that he was going to Tang County to discuss marriage for his son and it ended up failing, the other party would definitely laugh at him to death.
After thinking it over, he finally decided to apply for a letter of introduction under the pretext of sending his son to school.
Li Ping smiled gently and said, "It's okay. If you want to go, you can ask Teacher Wuda for help."
Now he doesn't want to expose his family's connections here.
Because he wanted to see what kind of sincerity Li Haitao's family would show in the marriage discussion without knowing their specific background.
That’s right, Li Haitao still doesn’t know the details about the Li brothers. He only knows that they seem to be quite rich.
As for where they got the money from, that is unclear.
Not only that, he also didn't know Li Mei's position in Tang County.
If he doesn't know, there's no way his family would know.
Of course, Li Haitao is not a fool. After such a long period of contact, even if he didn't know these things, he understood that the Li family that Li Ju belonged to was not simple.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just the fact that they were able to let Li Hongtao, Li Botao and Li Wenzhe, three scoundrels, study at Wuhan University is something that no ordinary family can do.
In order to improve Li Ju's standing in his parents' hearts, Li Haitao had previously shared his suspicions with them, but he wasn't sure if they took them seriously...
Seeing Li Ping say this, Li Chengcai thought about it, then nodded and said, "Okay, please wait for us here for a few days."
Hearing this, Li Ping and Li Xu couldn't help laughing.
Putting aside other aspects for now, at least on this point, Li Chengcai is indeed sincere.
That evening, Li Chengcai hosted a banquet for Li Xu and others at a high-end hotel.
Afterwards, Li Ping and Li Xu invited Li Chengcai and others back.
After three days of back and forth communication, the letters of introduction for Li Chengcai and others were finally completed.
Xiong Xue, Li Ju and others also obtained letters of introduction at the same time.
The reason why Xiong Xue went back was very simple. If Li Ju's marriage was confirmed, Li Jiakang and Sun Xiu would hold a banquet and invite relatives and friends to be witnesses.
As Li Ju's good friend, she certainly didn't want to be absent.
They boarded the train the next day after receiving the letter of introduction. Not long after leaving the station, they ran into the Tang County Supply and Marketing Cooperative's motorcade again.
This saved them a lot of trouble, and they took the bus directly back to Tang County.
