The village chief was indeed very happy; his rebellious son was finally willing to get married and start a family!
The younger son also caused a lot of headaches. He wasn't as mature and steady as the older son, and his personality was more impulsive. He would do whatever he wanted without any sense of propriety and seemed to lack any sense of responsibility!
After experiencing more and doing business, he gained some experience and improved a lot, which made the village chief feel a little relieved.
But ever since the youngest son took a liking to doing business and the thrill of making money, he has become even less willing to get married. How can this be allowed?
It's not like there are any special circumstances. What family's son wouldn't get married?
People would laugh at me if I told them, and they'd even talk behind my back!
But the youngest son always made excuses that he was too busy and couldn't find the time to go on a blind date. Even if he did go on a blind date, he would say that he didn't like the person. It made me so angry!
The village chief had really suffered a lot. His youngest son was playing coy with him and wouldn't even look at him, and his youngest daughter had caused such a scene. He overthought things and fell ill.
Not long after the New Year, they invited doctors several times and even sent him to a clinic in the city. People who didn't know the situation thought he was dying, but the village chief wasn't really dying. Every time he went back, he was fine again.
Looking back now, it must have been because he had unfulfilled wishes and was unwilling to leave, so he persevered with sheer grit.
Later, I gradually came to terms with it and took some time to recuperate, which helped me recover somewhat. However, I am an elderly person after all, and illness strikes like a landslide. In the end, it still damaged my body, and it wasn't so easy for me to fully recover to my previous state.
Su Nanxi guessed correctly; Liu Xuming did indeed do it on purpose, but it was also voluntary. He did it to make his father happy, to give his father something to worry about, and to give him something to look forward to.
If you get married, wouldn't you be looking forward to the birth of your grandchild? If you're looking forward to it, wouldn't you have something to look forward to?
Although my eldest brother Liu Yenan already has a son, what belongs to my eldest brother is his, and what belongs to him is his. They are not the same!
These days, my father doesn't seem to be in good spirits. He pretends to be doing well, but the family knows very well that he's just putting on a brave face. In reality, he's not as well as he appears!
Liu Xuming grew up overnight. He could no longer live only for himself. He had been carefree for so many years, and it was time to take on the responsibilities he should bear. He couldn't always make his parents worry about him!
So, he was very sensible and took the initiative to propose marriage. Sure enough, the village chief and his wife were overjoyed to hear this and immediately asked Zhao, the matchmaker, to arrange the marriage.
Matchmaker Zhao took it very seriously and didn't dare to be negligent. She put a lot of effort into the matter and found suitable partners for her daughters. When people in the city heard about it, they even went to Matchmaker Zhao and offered to find partners for their daughters.
With so many choices at once, not only was the village chief overwhelmed, but Liu Xuming was also at a loss, not knowing which one to choose, because to him, all women were the same!
They all seem pretty much the same, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. None of them are perfect, and each has its own merits. Choosing one is too difficult!
Liu Xuming was willing to get married, but he wasn't very interested in women. Perhaps he hadn't figured it out yet, so he didn't really find anything good about them or know which one he liked. In the end, he decided to leave it to fate to decide for him by flipping a coin!
Well!
That's a bit too much, so he didn't dare say it to my face. He did it secretly in his own room!
He wrote down the names of all the girls, then tossed a coin over the ground. Whichever name the coin landed on, he would choose that girl!
They even went so far as to claim it was the will of Heaven, and that it couldn't be wrong!
He was quite pleased with himself for a while, but when he told the village chief the name he had chosen, the village chief told him something shocking!
A young woman came to the door, claiming to be Liu Xuming's fiancée!
Liu Xuming was stunned. After regaining his senses, his first reaction was that someone wanted to harm him!
Otherwise, why would you want to ruin his reputation for no reason?
If word gets out that he'll never find a good girl again. Who would want to marry a girl to him? It sounds like he's a reckless person!
The village chief wasn't unhappy; on the contrary, he was very happy. He felt that his son had become sensible and knew how to plan for his future. When he turned around and saw Liu Xuming's refusing expression, he slapped him across the face.
"That girl is so wonderful! Are you trying to get yourself killed? You refuse to admit it. Where is your manly spirit and sense of responsibility? Aren't you ashamed? Our Liu family doesn't tolerate heartless people. Wake up! You've already been intimate with that girl, and you still want to dump her? Are you an animal? Why didn't you bring her back sooner? You made her come looking for you. You really are a handful!"
Not only the village chief, but even his wife complained, "Son, we can't do this! It's so unethical and morally reprehensible! If you've done it, you have to admit it! A real man should be willing to take responsibility. Do you think you can escape it? It's recorded in the underworld, and you'll be held accountable!"
Liu Xuming was even more confused and helpless. Why wouldn't anyone listen to him?
He's been completely wronged!
When did he have physical intimacy with anyone? How come he didn't know at all?
He became a cold-hearted, heartless, and irresponsible person for doing things that didn't even happen!
With so many labels being put on him, he can't possibly keep up!
Who on earth would do this to him?
Are they trying to make him take the blame?
He'd heard plenty of stories like this before, so it must be true. Otherwise, how could something he had no recollection of be attributed to him?
He wants to get married and have children, but he doesn't want to be the scapegoat. It's not like he can't have children!
That's incredibly insulting!
But he didn't even have a chance to defend himself, because no one was willing to listen to his explanation; they only believed what they wanted to believe!
Liu Xuming knew in his heart that something was wrong. It was all over. His parents had definitely been bribed and deceived!
He is the biological son, yet he shows no favoritism towards him whatsoever, instead siding with a complete stranger!
That's infuriating!
When Liu Xuming saw the girl, he was stunned for a moment and blurted out, "Miss, haven't we met somewhere before? You look familiar!"
Next, unsurprisingly, Liu Xuming was hit, no, he was pinched and twisted hard on the thigh!
Yes, he was pinched by his mother because he said something wrong.
Liu Xuming was in so much pain he almost grimaced, but he was too proud to admit it and forced himself to endure it, though tears were streaming down his face inside.
That woman went way too far!
He was a bit blunt, and maybe he said something wrong, but there was no need to be so forceful, was there?
"Liu Xuming! You're pretending not to know me? Fine! You think you can fly to the heavens now?"
"You look familiar, but I really can't remember who you are!"
"You often go drinking with my brother and see me all the time, yet you claim you don't know me!"
"Oh! I remember now! You, you..."
"Ha! What did you remember? Where did you kiss me? Do you remember? You even tugged at my clothes... Mmm!"
"There are so many people watching, stop talking!"
Wow!
I see!
That's a huge melon!
"So you're admitting it?"
