Zhao Dashu felt something was wrong after hearing this. Last time the clan leader called Xiao Lei, he did not ask much. His daughter told him to mind his own business and it would be useless even if the person wanted to leave.
"Nothing. The last time the clan leader came to me..."
"Xiao Lei," the clan leader's son quickly interrupted Xiao Lei's words, you bastard, he really dares?
How could he do this? His father always thought about him and cared about him, but he was planning to sell them out to please his father-in-law.
Wolf cub, just a wolf cub.
Xiao Cheng looked at Xiao Lei deeply. He felt that all of them had misunderstood. Xiao Lei was not as simple as they thought, but a man with deep thoughts.
He should think that the Zhao family is more reliable than his clan. After returning from this exam, if he fails, he will tell them. If he passes, he dares to guarantee that Xiao Lei will cancel the marriage with the Zhao family.
He would not let the stigma that came to his door follow him.
Xiao Cheng, who had figured it out, was no longer in a hurry. As long as he left the Xiao family, he would have to help the clan in the future even if they didn't subsidize him.
Besides, a scholar couldn't earn much money anyway, so they just had to wait for Xiao Lei to leave the Zhao family and then come to ask them for help.
Those who rush forward are always at fault.
"Uncle Zhao, I don't have anything to do with Xiao Lei. My father and the clan hope that he will do well in the exam. I have conveyed my message and now I am leaving." Xiao Cheng bowed to Zhao Dashu.
Zhao Dashu felt that this was definitely not the case. Just now, the two of them were unhappy and obviously arguing. They also talked about canceling the engagement and returning to the Muslim community...
So, the Xiao people wanted to pick his daughter's fruit?
Facing Zhao Laosan's scrutiny, Xiao Lei was frank. From the moment he agreed to come to the family, he considered himself a member of the Zhao family, and no matter what happened in the future, he would be the Zhao family's son-in-law.
Unless Xiaoyu doesn't want him anymore, he will never regret it.
"Uncle Zhao, don't worry, I have no second thoughts about Xiaoyu and the Zhao family."
"What if you become successful in the future?"
"I will never regret it, Uncle Zhao, I swear!"
Almost all men in the world who swear to be useful will die.
But Zhao Dashu had no choice but to believe it. Moreover, his daughter was smart and had not told Xiao Lei about the treasure. If he dared to betray her in the future, she would steal everything he had.
"Let's go, the Master is still waiting for us."
"Where are the people?"
The patriarch has already called several elders. His son has returned but the protagonist is not there, so he asked anxiously.
Are you still studying? When will you come over?
"Dad, don't wait any longer, Xiao Lei won't come. This kid is full of tricks and is making preparations for both scenarios.
If I fail the exam, I will continue to be the Zhao family's son-in-law, living a life of luxury with them. If I pass the exam, they may abandon Zhao Xiaoyu."
"He said that? Didn't you tell him that the clan would continue to support him even if he failed the exam?"
"I told him, but he refused to listen. It's not convenient to talk in the Zhao family. Uncle Zhao overheard part of our conversation."
The elderly people sitting there were furious. "Are you stupid? Why are you saying this at the Zhao family? There are only servants in their house, so no one will hear it? Are you crazy to poach someone else's family?"
Xiao Cheng said innocently, "It's not that I wanted to say it at the Zhao family, but Xiao Lei was not tactful. He refused to come over, saying that he had to study and had no time. If there was anything, we could talk about it when he came back from the capital. Didn't I get anxious?"
"He won't come?"
"Well, this kid is a thief. Can the conditions we offer him compare with those of the Zhao family? He doesn't think highly of them."
The clan leader understood, he had thought about this problem last time, it was impossible for the clan members to eat coarse food and let him live a life of luxury, at best they would help pay the tuition for him so that he would not starve to death. He probably could not even afford to go to a small academy, so his life would certainly not be too poor after he came back.
What they bet on is that Xiao Lei can succeed even in adversity.
