Chapter 212 Li Tuo's Plan
At this moment, Li Tuo looked at the contempt and disgust in his parents' eyes without any concealment.
In his opinion, if they couldn't even handle such a small thing, they were truly useless.
"Son, we can't afford to offend them!"
Li Tuo's father could not remember what Xu Laoer said about the seventh and eighth ranks. He only remembered what his seventh uncle in the clan said to him, and he told it out immediately.
After listening to his father's words, Li Tuo's eyes changed several times, and finally a smile appeared on his face.
He patted Brother Li's hand and said, "Brother, don't worry. That Feng Jieer will definitely be your wife!"
It has been said since ancient times that the people do not fight against the officials.
Since Fengjie'er's cousin was related to the Xu family of Lingshui Village, he had to make this marriage happen. However, if the Li family couldn't be used as a breakthrough point, he would start with Fengjie'er's husband's family.
If you cancel the engagement, there will always be bright spots in the west.
He didn't believe that Feng Jie'er's husband's family had relatives like the Xu family.
"Brother, is it true?"
Brother Li Er originally had tears in his eyes, but after hearing what Li Tuo said, he immediately smiled.
"real!"
Li Tuo's mouth twitched.
Before, he wanted to satisfy Brother Li's request just to establish his authority. But now, he wanted to use this method to get involved with the Xu family.
If it weren't for the fact that Feng Jie'er's family was just peasants, he would have even thought of snatching the marriage away himself. After all, in this way, he and Xu Lao San would be half-brothers-in-law, and he could also use this to get involved with the Xu family.
Unfortunately, although Feng Jieer is good-looking, her family background is too poor. How could she be worthy of a scholar like him?
At this time, Li Tuo had completely forgotten what his home looked like before.
If the family wasn't so poor, why didn't the three brothers get married?
Not only that, in order to support his studies and exams, his two sisters' so-called marriage was actually selling their daughters.
"Dad, go find the elders and ask them to arrange for someone to go to Sister Feng's husband's family and have a good talk with them about this marriage."
"Son, is this okay?"
Li Tuo's father was a little scared, "Or, let's just forget about it!"
"You're already an official. Our family will be better and better in the future. When the second son gets married, he can marry any kind of wife."
"father!"
Li Tuo shouted directly, "What do you know?"
"That Fengjie'er's cousin married the second son of the Xu family. If the second brother can marry Fengjie'er, our family and the Xu family will be considered relatives by marriage. There will be many benefits in the future!"
"Besides, if Feng Jie'er's husband's family breaks off the engagement, her reputation will be damaged. And with the rumors I spread, who would dare to marry her?"
"When the time comes, if Second Brother is willing to marry her, how could her family dare to be unhappy?"
"Just follow my instructions on this matter!"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Although Li Tuo explained in detail, his tone became increasingly harsh. In his eyes, it seemed as if the person listening to him was not his father, but his servant.
"Oh, okay!"
Li Tuo's father was a man of few ideas to begin with, and when he saw his son was angry, he didn't dare to say anything.
…
At the same time, the patriarch and elders of the Li clan also gathered together to discuss how to give an explanation to Xu Laoer.
They were not stupid and knew very well that this explanation was not to satisfy Uncle Li Si, but to satisfy Uncle Xu Er.
"Or, exterminate the beggar's family!"
The seventh uncle who had been to Uncle Li Si's house suddenly spoke.
And what he said was earth-shattering.
Today is the third chapter. Please understand, my back is failing me. Good night! I'll try to get up early tomorrow and write!
