Chapter 661: Bullying Her
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Although they had already decided to reject this marriage, after hearing about the Fang family’s situation, Li Shun and Zhao Xiu couldn’t suppress their anger.
At this moment, the couple finally understood how wise their youngest daughter’s words were.
The girl they doted on couldn’t be sent to someone else’s house to be a maid.
Their family could earn money with their own abilities now and didn’t have to worry about food and clothes. Why did they have to marry their daughter off and let her suffer the abuse of her in-laws?
“Xiao Qing saw through their true colors right from the beginning! The Fang family is really wicked. They clearly can’t make ends meet and have a huge debt, but they’re pretending to be well-off to lure us into marrying off our daughter! If we didn’t know the true situation of the Fang family and agreed to this marriage, we would have pushed our daughter into a living h.e.l.l!” Li Shun was so angry that his chest hurt.
Zhao Xiu’s eyes turned red.
“That matchmaker is really immoral. No wonder people often say that matchmakers can’t be trusted. Now, I’ve seen so for myself! We can’t agree to this marriage no matter what! We can dote on our daughter ourselves. Let a man marry into the family in the future! Even if we don’t find a good candidate to marry into the family, as long as Xiaoran is around, Xiao Qing will live a comfortable life in her later years! ”
Seeing that her parents had thought it through, Li Xiaoqing smiled.
“Father, Mother, it’s great that you think that way! It’s better to rely on yourself than on others! I can earn money to support myself, so why should I suffer?”
Luo Ziyang agreed and said, “That’s right. Xiao Qing, you’re right!”
After Luo Ziyang finished talking about a few things, everyone went about their own business.
Li Shun made a lot of furniture.
Some were ordered by others, and some were randomly made by Li Shun due to bursts of inspiration.
There were many rooms at home, so he could place them anywhere he wanted.
However, over time, they had acc.u.mulated a lot of furniture.
He really had to tidy things up now.
Zhao Xiu was the opposite of Li Shun.
The jewelry she made was stored in a wooden box, so she only needed to count them one by one!
After Li Xiaoqing resolved this incident, she was in a good mood and even hummed when making sliced noodles in the shop!
Zhao Sisi tickled Li Xiaoqing and teased, ‘What happened? Why are you so happy?
Li Xiaoqing said, “After settling things, I’m naturally in a good mood!”
Zhao Sisi thought of something and said, “Sigh, I haven’t seen that strange person in the past few days!”
Li Xiaoqing said, “He probably won’t come again!”
A few days later, when the matchmaker came again, Zhao Xiu and Li Shun rejected this marriage on the grounds that their family was going to let Li Xiaoqing’s future husband marry into the family in the future.
However, the day after the marriage was rejected, Young Master Fang actually came again.
This time, Mr. Fang ordered a bowl of noodles as usual and sat down to eat slowly.
Seeing this, Zhao Sisi came to Li Xiaoqing’s side.
“Xiao Qing, didn’t you say that this matter has been resolved? Why is this person here again?!”
Li Xiaoqing glanced at the other party and then looked away.
“Ignore him. Just do our own thing!”
Unexpectedly, it didn’t happen.
After Young Master Fang ate the sliced noodles, he paid for the noodles and came to Li Xiaoqing.
“Miss Li, I have a question I want to ask you. Are you free now?”
At this moment, the customers of the shop had already eaten their sliced noodles. There were no new customers, so Young Master Fang took this opportunity to ask.
Li Xiaoqing thought for a moment and felt that the shop wasn’t a good place to talk, so she nodded.
“Alright, please come to the backyard! Others might misunderstand if a man and woman talk together alone. With my Granny Jin and my brother in the backyard as witnesses, you’ll reputation won’t be ruined!”
Fang Jun nodded and followed Li Xiaoran to the backyard.
At this moment, Old Madam Jin was checking Changsheng’s homework.
Changsheng was originally following Luo Ziyang, but Luo Ziyang had been very busy recently, so he came to the shop to study.
Old Madam Jin would come to the shop every day when she was free. Seeing that Changsheng was obedient and sensible, she would give him pointers from time to time.
The two of them got along surprisingly well.
Seeing Li Xiaoqing bring in an unfamiliar man, Old Madam Jin immediately became vigilant and stared at the unfamiliar man.
Li Xiaoqing explained when she saw Granny Jin, “Granny Jin, this person is looking for me for something. In order to avoid suspicion, I brought him here to talk for a while!”
Old Madam Jin nodded. She understood what Li Xiaoqing meant.
“Alright! The stone table here is empty. Sit down and talk!”
Li Xiaoqing nodded and led Fang Jun to sit down.
“If you have anything to ask, feel free to ask!” Li Xiaoqing went straight to the point.
Fang Jun stared at Li Xiaoqing. At this moment, he was already certain that this girl really had no feelings for him.
“Miss Li, perhaps you don’t understand me that well yet! I like you. It’s indeed inappropriate for me to propose marriage rashly, but Miss Li, there’s no need to use such an excuse to brush me off.”
When Li Xiaoqing heard this, she immediately laughed.
“Young Master Fang, I’m not using an excuse to brush you off. What you’ve done is enough to make me refuse this marriage. If you really respect me, how can you not investigate my family’s situation? Previously, when someone came to propose marriage to me, my family released the news that my future husband has to marry into the family. As the saying goes, marriage is about establishing ties. Which family doesn’t ask around when looking for a wife? How could your family not know about such news?”
“You knew, so you deliberately came to our shop to eat sliced noodles every day. After eating for a month, you even asked the matchmaker to propose marriage. The meaning behind the matchmaker’s words is also intriguing. She made it sound as if I already like you! It’s not difficult to see through your schemes! To be honest, I don’t want to have such a person as my husband!” When Fang Jun heard Li Xiaoqing’s words, his expression turned ugly.
‘Miss Li, you might have some misunderstanding about me! Can you listen to my explanation?”
However, Li Xiaoqing lost her patience already.
She knew the Fang family’s situation very well. They fancied her because she was young and appeared to be gullible!
Unfortunately, they had misjudged her!
