Li Xingguo and Li Xinglong got off the plane. They came in a hurry and were dressed in business suits, formal pants and black men's jackets. There was a bit of panic and worry on their faces, as if they had just received a call from a relative who was critically ill and rushed to the hospital.
Both of them did not sleep all night, because Li Yi's news was too shocking. Originally studying in the Imperial Capital, he suddenly came to Qin, and suddenly he was told to get a marriage certificate. How could this not make them, as parents and elders, panic?
The target is still a famous and prestigious family, the former princely royal family of Xianyang Ying surname Zhao. Perhaps this ancient family has fallen into decline and has been excluded from the circle of power due to historical issues. But for the Li family, a small rural clan, it is still a giant that needs to be looked up to.
Besides, marriage is a major event in life. Even if the marriage partner is not from the Ying family of Xianyang, it would be enough to scare them if he or she were an ordinary person.
Li Yi had a hard time getting admitted to the Imperial Capital. He was the only hope for success in the Li family. How was he going to handle his studies like this?
With all kinds of concerns, the two of them seemed so panicked.
But compared to Li's father, Li Xinglong, the uncle, was worried but also had some expectations. He was more utilitarian, and if the marriage partner was really from a famous family, he would definitely support it with both hands and legs.
Even if he is asked to pay the bride price, it's fine as long as he can marry into a wealthy family.
Of course, this assumes that it is true.
The two walked out of the airport and looked around to see a sea of people. Soon, a young man with ordinary appearance and simple clothes walked towards them.
Father Li recognized Li Yi at a glance, and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that it was indeed his son.
"Dad, uncle, you are here."
Li Yi stood in front of them, looking at the two people's different expressions, and couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong?"
"How dare you ask what happened?" Father Li's voice rose slightly, his face full of anger but he tried his best to restrain himself.
He was not a violent person. He had never hit Li Yi since he was a child, nor had he scolded him in public. The number of times he had angered Li's father was few and far between, or even nonexistent.
He remembered that the only time his father got angry was when he had a fight in junior high school. He and Zhao Si were beaten up by a group of thugs from outside the school. At that time, the gentle Li Xingguo was like an angry lion, chasing a dozen bad boys alone.
Teenagers, unless given courage by the Minor Protection Act, are unlikely to be able to beat strong adults.
Li Yi's character benefits greatly from Li Xingguo: he is calm as water and as angry as a tsunami.
"What's going on? Do you know what you are doing? I..."
At this time, the uncle stepped out to smooth things over, saying, "Hey, why are you talking so harshly? It's good that he's okay. We were worried that Li Yi would be arrested for pyramid selling, but now it seems that he should be fine."
They also thought about the possibility of pyramid schemes. Li Yi was deceived into going to Qin for pyramid schemes, and they used marriage as an excuse to seduce the two to redeem him. After all, a country boy suddenly said that he wanted to marry the daughter of the Zhao family in Xianyang. It looked like a pyramid scheme.
You can easily earn over 10,000 yuan a month, and 100,000 yuan a month with a little effort.
Li Yi was indeed excellent, and his uncle Li Xinglong acknowledged this, but he was not excellent enough to be liked by the daughter of the Zhao family of the Ying surname in Xianyang.
So they had prepared the money and were just waiting for the other party to say something. Now it seemed that they were worrying too much. Li Yi didn't look like someone who was caught in a pyramid scheme.
"Li Yi, is what you said true?" The uncle asked eagerly, "The target is the Zhao family of Ying in Xianyang, which is a real aristocratic family."
"certainly."
Li Yi nodded, and his uncle smiled happily. He patted his shoulder, gave him a thumbs up and said, "Good boy, you have a lot of potential. I heard your dad say that you were hanging around with two women, but you didn't believe it. I wanted to introduce you to someone, but now it seems that I was superficial."
"Brother, please don't encourage evil trends." Father Li said with some dissatisfaction.
"It is shameless to be proud of how many women you have deceived. How could I raise such a person? Are you worthy of the girl from Qi? What should she do?"
I wouldn't mind getting another certificate if she wants.
Li Yi only muttered to himself. He knew that if he said it out loud, he would definitely be beaten with a belt. In serious cases, his father's high blood pressure might be irritated on the spot. Of course, he could save him.
"Well, I won't say anything then."
Although the uncle said this, he never lowered his thumb and whispered in Li Yi's ear, "How much does the other party want for the betrothal gift? If it doesn't exceed 1 million, the uncle can help you pay it."
“No need for a dowry.”
"That's great, you're not lying to me, are you? Wait, considering her family background, it seems like she really doesn't need it, but we can't not give it to her."
The uncle patted Li Yi's shoulders vigorously twice and said, "I will give you my pension. You must marry into the Zhao family of Ying in Xianyang. Whether the Li family can prosper depends on you."
"Brother...please stop talking. My son is talented and has not fallen to the point of having to rely on marrying into the family to make a living."
Mr. Li still retained some of his teacher's character and still could not accept the idea of marrying into the wife's family.
"That's true, but no matter how talented you are, if you don't have capital, you can only work for others. Look at those self-made billionaires on TV, which one of them doesn't have a background?"
Uncle Li Xinglong is more pragmatic. Having worked outside, he knows that it is extremely difficult to really stand out. Without the corresponding connections and background, it is impossible to get into other people's circles.
It was not shameful for Li Yi to marry into the Zhao family of Ying surname in Xianyang, but it was an opportunity to rise to the top in one step. Even if it was just a side branch, it was a huge background for them.
"From the imperial examination examiner to medical treatment and schooling, who doesn't need some connections? Besides, Li Yi has already obtained the certificate."
