Li Jian glared angrily at his older brother, Li Qiang, "No, you can't marry Piaoxue! How could you marry Piaoxue? Piaoxue is the woman I love!"
Ignoring Li Jian's anger, Li Qiang smiled brightly, "I know you like Piaoxue, but Piaoxue doesn't like you. You've been pursuing Piaoxue for so many years, but she hasn't responded to you, which proves that you two are destined to be apart."
Li Qiang has always given in to Li Jian since childhood, but now he doesn't want to anymore; he wants to think about his own future.
"Piaoxue doesn't like you either!" Li Jian roared angrily.
My brother knows perfectly well that he loves Piaoxue, so why does he want to take away what he loves? Isn't this like tearing out his heart and cutting off his flesh?
Besides, Piaoxue and her elder brother have no connection. Why would he suddenly want to marry Piaoxue? He must dislike her and is deliberately trying to belittle her.
Seeing Li Jian's exasperated state, Li Qiang calmly said, "I don't know if Piaoxue likes me, but if Piaoxue is willing to marry me, I am also willing to marry her."
"You're lying, you're definitely lying. How could Piaoxue be willing to marry you? You're just jealous of my parents' affection and you're deliberately trying to disgust me."
Li Ying absolutely refused to believe that Lin Piaoxue would be willing to marry Li Qiang.
Li Qiang sighed and said helplessly, "Second brother, I'm past the age where I need my parents' pampering, and I won't treat my life's most important matter as a game just because I'm jealous of you. Don't make wild guesses."
The Lin family is doing better and better now. Lin Qinghuan has found a rich and powerful boyfriend. Li Changqing and Wang Cuihua are very willing to become in-laws with the Lin family.
Li Changqing looked at Li Qiang, his face showing surprise, delight, and a hint of astonishment.
"Qiangzi, if you want to marry Piaoxue, we don't object..."
Before Li Changqing could finish speaking, Li Jian interrupted him, "Father, Mother, you can't go to the Lin family to propose marriage. If you must propose, it's for my sake."
Li Qiang confessed, "Second brother, it was Piaoxue who asked me to go to her house to propose marriage."
"Impossible, how could it be? How could Piaoxue possibly be interested in you?"
Li Jian shook his head, not believing Li Qiang's words at all.
Wang Cuihua asked in surprise, "Qiangzi, did Piaoxue really send you to the Lin family to propose marriage?"
Li Qiang replied seriously, "It really was Piaoxue who asked me to go to her house to propose marriage."
"Lin Piaoxue always wanted to marry a rich man, I never thought she would take a liking to you," Wang Cuihua sighed.
Lin Piaoxue was the girl that every unmarried man in the village wanted to marry. Even though her reputation was later ruined, Lin Piaoxue still owned her own land and a small shop. Her father ran a brick factory, and her grandfather owned a large company. Because of these conditions, many men were still willing to marry Lin Piaoxue.
Li Qiang's lips curled up slightly. He never expected that the arrogant Lin Piaoxue would take a liking to him.
Li Jian now felt a mixture of envy, jealousy, and resentment towards Li Qiang. "Big brother, everyone knows I like Piaoxue. If you marry Lin Piaoxue, where will I put my face? Besides, you don't even like Piaoxue..."
Li Qiang sighed and said, "Piaoxue is the girl that all the young men in the village want to marry. Of course I want to marry her too, but I haven't shown it because of you."
"Although Piaoxue's relationship with the Lin family is not good now, she is still a member of the Lin family and has a strong backing. Our future children will have a bright future, and my future path will be smoother and more glorious. Why should I give up my promising future for you?"
“You…” Li Jian was speechless with anger.
Li Qiang looked at Li Jian frankly and said, "Second brother, do you know why Piaoxue doesn't like you?"
Li Jian didn't speak, but just looked at Li Qiang with a gloomy face.
"Because you idle away your days, doing nothing, she doesn't want to marry a lazy bum," Li Qiang said.
Li Jian's face turned deathly pale, his expression showing a hint of hurt and disbelief.
“You’re a 25-year-old bachelor, and I haven’t seen you achieve anything,” Li Jian retorted.
Li Qiang's face turned cold. "I work myself to the bone to earn money outside, and I often give money to my parents for household expenses. A large portion of the money you spend is from what I earn."
“You spend the money I earned, yet you look down on me, your older brother. You are selfish and disgusting. No wonder Piaoxue looks down on you.”
Li Jian's face was pale and ashen, and his eyes were filled with hatred as he looked at Li Qiang.
Li Qiang shook his head speechlessly, then turned to look at Li Changqing and Wang Cuihua. "Dad, Mom, the reason I haven't gotten married in my twenties is because your hearts are always on Li Jian and you've never thought about me. Sometimes I even wonder if you don't want me to get married and want me to support this good-for-nothing Li Jian for the rest of my life."
“We don’t have any,” Li Changqing hurriedly explained.
"I hope not," Li Qiang said.
"You're not allowed to belittle me, I'm not a piece of trash!" Li Qiang roared hoarsely.
Li Qiang stood up, threw the cigarette in his hand on the ground, and stomped it out. "I'm determined to marry Lin Piaoxue. I'm just telling you this today, not asking for your opinions."
He is not an indecisive person; if he sees something he likes, he will strive to get it and will not let the opportunity slip through his fingers.
