Chapter 35 Conditions
Xu Dehuai's thoughts were clear to him, and he couldn't help but think of what his wife said to him last night -
"Guoping's heart is completely devoted to Li Beibei. Are you really willing to give her a place to go to university in the provincial capital alone?"
"I agree with Uncle Li's recommendation of Liu Zhiqing! Everyone in our village knows that Liu Zhiqing likes Li Beibei. If Guoping and his wife get married, would you be happy if someone else still wanted your daughter-in-law?"
"Why not give this spot to Liu Zhiqing and let him leave the village? That would be the best thing to do!"
"Didn't you see that Guoping just told Liu Zhiqing about his relationship with Li Beibei? He was so angry that he beat Guoping and even went on strike for a few days! You can do whatever you want. Guoping is not my son after all! If you don't think about him more while you're still in this position, you'll never have the chance to do so again in the future!"
…
It was because of Fang Qiuyue's words that Xu Dehuai made up his mind to give this position to Liu Xi.
Now seeing Liu Xi's reaction after getting the quota, he was even more convinced that his decision was correct. If he wanted his family to have peace in the future, he had to send Liu Xi out of the country!
Although he does not have the right to confirm this quota, he has no right to force others if they are unwilling.
"The place has been decided. Whether you accept it or not is entirely up to you. If you give up, it will be forfeited." Xu Dehuai said with a sullen face, "I'll give you three days to think about it carefully. If you want to go, pack your bags and I'll send someone to take you to school. If you don't want to go, don't look for me again!"
Liu Xi hadn't expected this outcome, so he still refused to give up and asked, "Can't this quota be given to someone else?"
"That's right!" Xu Dehuai said firmly, "I've already registered your name, so how can I talk about changing someone? If others knew that I chose someone who refused to go to college, it would not only be a loss of face for me, but also a loss for our entire Junshui Village!"
Having said that, Liu Xi was not a confused person, so he just left in despair.
It's not that he doesn't want to go to college. He is not a fool for such an opportunity. It's just that when it comes to future and love, he chose the latter.
Now he is powerless. How should he explain to Li Beibei?
-
At the Jiang family's side, Jiang Dongfang just came back from the city in the evening. He was cold and huddled in the kitchen to warm himself by the fire.
"Uncle, have you seen my third brother?"
Jiang Wanying thoughtfully poured him a cup of hot tea.
Jiang Dongfang took the bag and said, "I saw it. I gave him the things. He even blamed you for not visiting him when you went to the city."
"Didn't I go there with Uncle Lu? It's not convenient to go and play with Third Brother when there are outsiders around. Let's go."
Jiang Wanying thought about what she had analyzed in the past few days. She had not had time to tell Lu Yanchuan about it, and she didn't know how the progress was on his side.
Jiang Dongfang took out a box of chocolate from his bag. "Your third brother asked me to bring this to you. He said if you like it, he'll buy it for you next day."
Jiang Wanying curved her eyebrows, revealing sweet dimples on both sides of her cheeks. She happily opened the box, took out two pills from it, and handed them to Jiang Dongfang and his wife.
"This is chocolate, you guys try it too!"
Xu Hongping shook her head. "This is for you kids to eat. We won't eat it. Your third brother gave it to you. Keep it for yourself!"
"Who says only children can eat snacks? Just eat them. If you don't, I won't eat them either!"
Jiang Wanying grabbed Xu Hongping's arm and shook it, speaking in a coquettish tone.
Xu Hongping couldn't persuade her, so she only took one, then broke it in half and gave Jiang Dongfang half. "We just want to try it, you eat this."
Jiang Wanying knew that they were reluctant to eat it, and felt that they should keep everything for themselves.
Jiang Wanying, however, hopes that they can share happiness and hardships together, that is what a truly loving family should be like.
