Chapter 75 Zhou Cai Wants to Renew the Engagement
Chapter 75 Zhou Cai Wants to Renew the Engagement
Huo family.
Grandma Huo looked at Zhou Hong and Wang Meili who brought a plate of qingtuan and asked in doubt: "What are you doing today?"
Ever since Zhou Cai came to cancel the engagement, the two families have been at odds with each other. They haven't had any contact for a long time, and even if they meet, they pretend not to have seen each other.
Why not only did you come today but you also brought gifts?
"Haha, it's okay, Aunt Huo. I just wanted to come see you today when I had time. Are you in good health recently?" Zhou Hong smiled a little embarrassedly.
After all, the relationship between their two families had been so strained in the beginning, and now he had to shamelessly come to ask for the restoration of the engagement. He felt as if his face was burning.
There was no way out. Zhou Cai kept clamoring to revive the engagement, which really gave him a headache.
"It's okay. I won't die for the time being." Grandma Huo didn't look at them and replied sarcastically.
Zhou Hong felt even more embarrassed after hearing this. At that time, Zhou Cai was cursing others, asking why they didn't die earlier and had to drag down Huo Linyuan.
"Well, Zhou Cai was ignorant at the time, Aunt Huo, please don't be angry."
"Okay, stop being so cautious and just tell me what's going on." Grandma Huo was too lazy to waste time talking to the two of them.
"That's right. Zhou Cai knows she's wrong. What do you think, should our two families revive the engagement?" Zhou Hong's face turned red with embarrassment, but for Zhou Cai's sake, he still said it.
"What?" Grandma Huo looked at Zhou Hong and Wang Meili in surprise, wondering if she was hallucinating.
Wang Meili smiled and said, "Aunt Huo, it's like this. After looking around at our Zhou Cainanni, I still think Lin Yuan is better. Lin Yuan is not only handsome, but also very hardworking."
"So, let's think about it! Lin Yuan is already an adult, and he doesn't have a partner. Why don't our two families revive the engagement, and then get married early? Aunt Huo, you can have grandchildren, right?"
When Grandma Huo heard this, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, and she became indifferent: "Who told you that our Lin Yuan has no partner? Our Lin Yuan's partner is An Lan."
"I know. An Zhiqing is the prettiest one in the Zhiqing Institute. After all, she is a Zhiqing. Sooner or later, she will have to go back. Have you forgotten that a female Zhiqing rolled down the hillside in order to return to the city just to get rid of the baby in her belly? Do you think An Zhiqing will let go of the chance to return to the city?"
Wang Meili was confident. After all, the educated youth were all outsiders. How could they know their background like the villagers? In addition, An Lan looked delicate, so her food and drink must be very exquisite. The Huo family was so poor, could they afford it?
If An Lan really married into the Huo family, I'm afraid there would be chaos everywhere.
When Grandma Huo heard this, she looked worried, but she believed in Huo Linyuan's judgment. Just as she was about to refute, she was interrupted by a clear and pleasant voice.
"Auntie, I'm afraid I'm disappointing you. I won't do these things just to go back to the city. If I really want to go back to the city, I will take Brother Huo with me."
When they heard the sound, they looked and saw a beautiful woman standing at the door, and next to her was Huo Linyuan, a tall and mighty man with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes.
One is bright and beautiful, the other is dressed in coarse linen. They are obviously from two different worlds, but when standing together, they look surprisingly well-matched.
[Ah! Lanlan, you are so good to him. He will work harder to be good to Lanlan in the future and always remember the four virtues that Lanlan taught him.]
[What was it? That’s right. You should follow your wife’s lead, obey her orders, follow her when she’s wrong, wait for her to put on makeup, be willing to spend money, tolerate her anger, and remember her when she’s angry.]
An Lan was speechless and glanced at Huo Linyuan. She didn't expect that he had remembered what she had just said casually before, and even recited it in this situation...
Huo Linyuan felt An Lan's gaze, he lowered his head and looked at her, his eyes full of deep affection.
"Ahem..." Seeing the two of them looking at each other affectionately at the door, Grandma Huo couldn't help but remind them in a voice, as if to say that there were still guests.
Grandma Huo's cough interrupted the two people's gaze.
Huo Linyuan was the first to react. The tenderness in his eyes was gone, and he turned cold and distant: "Uncle Zhou, Aunt Wang, I'm sorry, I don't agree to resume the engagement. Let's not talk about my partner. Even if I don't have a partner, I won't resume the engagement."
"Lin Yuan, are you being unfair to your mother by doing this? It was your mother who arranged this marriage." Wang Meili was a little angry.
When Huo Linqing fell ill, he would have died on the way to the hospital if Zhou Hong hadn't given his family a ginseng root to keep him alive.
Therefore, Hui Niang was very grateful to their family, and Zhou Cai happened to like Huo Linyuan, so Wang Meili suggested that the two families get engaged.
Although the engagement letter was not changed, both parties agreed.
Now Huo Linyuan actually dared to refuse to resume the engagement. Didn't he know that Huo Linqing's life was saved by their family?
"My mother will understand me, and it was you who took the initiative to cancel the engagement." Huo Linyuan looked indifferent.
Huo Linyuan did not resist back then. Firstly, he was young and did not understand the matters between men and women, and secondly, he did not want to embarrass his mother.
Now that he not only understood but also had a partner, he could no longer give in.
Every time he killed prey, he would give half to their family, and he had been doing this for many years.
"Don't forget, we were the ones who saved Huo Linqing! To put it bluntly, if it weren't for us, Huo Linqing would have turned to ashes now." Wang Meili was rejected again and again, and her tone was already filled with anger.
"Meili, what are you talking about?" Zhou Hong saw that Wang Meili was going too far and quickly pulled her sleeve.
"Was what I said wrong? Huo Linyuan, don't be ungrateful." Wang Meili shook off her sleeves, stood up and scolded.
"Wang Meili!" Grandma Huo slammed the table and stood up. Her usually kind and friendly face was now tightly tied, and the wrinkles on her face were like straightened ropes.
"You gave us a toothpick-sized ginseng root, but we gave you prey for 10 years. I don't know how much, but at least it can be sold for 500 yuan. And it was you who took the initiative to cancel the engagement. We didn't force you. Now you are saying that we are wrong. Otherwise, we will ask the captain to judge who is right and wrong!"
"Saving lives is like putting out a fire. You cannot deny that the ginseng root saved Huo Linqing. No matter how much the ginseng root is worth! As long as you know that it was in that emergency situation, it was priceless. Your family only gave 10 years of prey, and you want to offset it? Don't even think about offsetting it in your lifetime. If you don't agree to resume the engagement, I'm not afraid of the publicity. You, the Huo family, are ungrateful and ungrateful wolves!" Wang Meili sneered.
"You..." Grandma Huo was so angry that her chest heaved up and down. She almost fell down when she was held up by a white and slender little hand.
"Grandma, don't get angry at this kind of person. It's not worth it." An Lan supported Grandma Huo, calming her down and comforting her.
"Huo Linyuan, what do you say?" Wang Meili felt very relieved when she saw Grandma Huo was so angry.
"The engagement cannot be rescinded, and what you gave me back then were tree roots, not ginseng roots!" Huo Linyuan's eyes were frighteningly sharp and cold.
"What!?" Everyone was shocked!
