Yunping shook her head, crying, pushed away He's mother, and ran to Lu Sen's side. "I don't agree! You can't agree! Jingxing is our family's hope. How can he become a live-in son-in-law? You can't agree! Jingxing will hate us to death."
An Wan and Lu Jingming and his brothers are hostile to He Lijuan's family.
That's outrageous!
The atmosphere reached its lowest point.
“Lu Sen, you’re the head of the family, you make the decisions,” He Guoqiang told Lu Sen.
"As long as you agree to let Lu Jingxing become my He family's son-in-law, I will immediately tear up the IOU for the three thousand yuan your family owes me, and I will also give ten thousand yuan as a bride price, and put the house and car in his name."
“Where can you find a father-in-law like me? My daughter is good-looking and her family is wealthy. We are a good match for your family! Neither of us is trying to climb the social ladder.”
“That’s right! Where else can you find a family as good as ours?” Mother He nodded, not understanding why Yunping disagreed.
Previously, there was a long line of men who had their eyes on her daughter Juanzi. If it weren't for the fact that her daughter only liked Lu Jingxing, she and her husband wouldn't have to be so subservient to Lu Sen and his wife.
Looking at Lu Sen's solemn face, He Lijuan was so nervous that her fingers clenched red.
If even he disagrees, then Lu Jingxing is even less likely to agree.
"Uncle Lu, Aunt Lu, I really like Jingxing. I will treat him very well. If we have three children, I will definitely let one of them take Jingxing's surname. You can rest assured about that. My family is not an unreasonable family."
She mustered up her courage to speak out her thoughts and make her stance clear so that Lu Sen and his wife would believe in her.
Girls are supposed to be reserved in this kind of situation and shouldn't speak, lest the other party's elders think she's desperate to get married.
Lu Sen first looked at Yun Ping, An Wan, and Lu Jingming, then glanced at the faces of He Guoqiang and his family of three.
He slowly began to speak: "I have no say in this matter. Whether I agree or refuse, I have no authority. We'll wait for Jingxing to return and hear his thoughts before making a decision. No one can force him."
"You!" He Guoqiang pointed at Lu Sen angrily.
But then Lu Sen turned around and told Lu Yanshu to go outside and call Lu Jingxing back.
As soon as Lu Yanshu reached the door, he saw Lu Jingxing and Lu Chunhe standing outside. "Big brother, you're back."
Like a thunderclap, everyone's eyes turned to the doorway.
"Jingxing, you're back! Come in quickly!" Yunping wiped away her tears, went over and pulled Lu Jingxing inside.
"You should have heard it too, we listen to your opinion and will absolutely not oppose or force you. As long as you are willing, your father, your younger siblings, and I will all support you and wish you well."
"Mom, don't worry, I know what I want," Lu Jingxing comforted her softly, patting her shoulder gently.
He turned around and looked at He Guoqiang and his mother.
"Jingxing, I will treat you very well for the rest of my life. I like you, I really, really like you." He Lijuan couldn't wait to express her feelings, tears streaming down her face.
She stared at Lu Jingxing's cold and arrogant face, her mood plummeting to freezing point.
An Wan felt a pang of pity when she saw He Lijuan's pitiful appearance.
It's so hard to like someone, especially unrequited love.
Only mutual love receives support and blessings.
Only then can both parties achieve a happy love.
Everyone was waiting for Lu Jingxing's answer.
He Guoqiang's eyes shone brightly; he was very confident that Lu Jingxing would agree to his family's request.
After all, the Lu family is currently in debt of 10,000 yuan, plus 30,000 yuan for surgery and tens of thousands of yuan for rehabilitation.
Lu Sen has been unable to work for the past few months, and the family has had no income. They barely make ends meet by having Yunping buy a few pastries.
Lu Xin was sentenced to prison, Li Xiufang absconded with the money, and the tens of thousands of yuan in compensation awarded by the court has not yet reached Lu Sen's hands.
The Lu family is already in such dire straits, practically driven to the brink of despair. I refuse to believe that Lu Sen won't be tempted by the benefits offered by his family.
"I don't like you, He Lijuan, and I won't agree to marry you." Lu Jingxing's thin lips parted slightly, his voice cold and devoid of any warmth.
Yunping breathed a sigh of relief. Although she knew Lu Jingxing would not agree to the He family's demands, she was worried that he was too sensible and mature, and that he would foolishly agree to marry He Lijuan in order to quickly resolve the current difficulties in his family.
"Jingxing, you!" He Lijuan covered her mouth and cried after being rejected by him, throwing herself into her mother's arms and sobbing.
An Wan, who was standing not far away, was so excited that she almost clapped and cheered.
Fortunately, I managed to hold back.
"Lu Jingxing, are you even a man? What's wrong with your Juanzi? How dare you reject her? If she didn't like you, I would have beaten you up long ago."
When He's mother got angry, she raised her right hand, but He Lijuan stopped her.
"Mom, no! It's my fault, I'm not good enough for him. It's all my fault." He Lijuan cried until her eyes were red. She turned her head and saw Lu Jingxing's indifferent face. Her heart died completely.
It turns out, he didn't like himself at all.
I never liked it at all.
Even with the Lu family in such a bad situation, how many girls would want to marry him?
She's the only one who doesn't mind.
Given her family's good circumstances, she should be able to find a local man from the county town, rather than someone from a poor family with many brothers.
"Lu Sen, do you really want to do this?" He Guoqiang was so angry that his eyes were spitting fire, and his old face was red with rage.
“We respect the child’s wishes; we agreed on that beforehand.” Lu Sen’s voice was loud and clear. Even though he was in a wheelchair, he had to keep looking up to speak to He Guoqiang.
But their presence is in no way inferior.
"You! You guys! You're amazing! My family has helped you so much, and now you won't even help with this little thing? How have we wronged you? Huh—"
