Siheyuan: Banggeng and I are classmates

Just after taking two steps and before seeing the front door of her house, Xu Yan said angrily: "How dare she fall for Yujie?"

"What do you mean good things come in pairs? What are his family conditions?"

"They live in a large compound, and their house is only half the size of our old house. The whole family depends on the old man's hard labor in the wood factory for a living. The eldest son graduated from a technical secondary school and works in the military corps, and the second son is just eating and waiting to die at home."

"She has no job, no education, and no house. With these conditions, she dares to fall in love with our Yujie and even has the nerve to ask her for a blind date. I don't know how she has the nerve to ask for this..."

Xu Yan was so angry that she hadn't even eaten her meal yet. After sending the Zhou family members away, she couldn't help cursing.

Xu Yan was still chattering, and Li Haifu suddenly stopped her, saying, "Alright, stop talking!"

After saying this, he glanced at Li Muhua. Li Haifu knew that he was the most uncomfortable one, being caught between the two families.

Li Haifu added: "Today is a big wedding day, it's normal for my mother-in-law to be overwhelmed by the happy event."

"normal?"

Xu Yan snorted disdainfully and said, "I don't believe that his family didn't inquire about our situation before. In my opinion, this matter was most likely planned by them long ago."

"We were waiting to get engaged today. We thought we would consider our in-laws' face and it would be difficult to reject them."

Li Haifu said, "Okay, what's the point of refusing or not? Didn't we just reject it directly?"

Li Muhua felt depressed after hearing this, and recalled the scene when he went to Zhou's house years ago. He felt like a thorn was stuck in his heart.

Seeing that Li Muhua's face was not looking good, Li Yujie smiled and said, "If you ask me, you are all overthinking. You are allowed to think about other people's daughters, but other people are not allowed to think about your daughters?"

"How can that be the same? You and—"

Xu Yan opened her mouth to refute, but Li Yujie interrupted, "What do you mean different? I still remember that on the way back from the educated youth camp, you praised Zhou Ru to me all the way."

"What are you talking about! You've never praised me like this since I can remember!"

As she spoke, Li Yujie also glanced at Xu Yan.

When Xu Yan saw Li Muhua, she remembered him and thought to herself that she was really mad at Zhou's mother. The two families had just gotten married, but she was gossiping about his father-in-law and mother-in-law in front of Li Muhua.

Considering Li Muhua's thoughts, Xu Yan changed the subject and said, "Zhou Ru is a good girl, no worse than you. That's what I said."

"But can his Zhou Jie compare with our Mu Hua? Mu Hua was able to write a book at the age of twelve, which was praised by teachers in newspapers. He donated more than 80,000 yuan out of the 100,000 yuan in royalties he earned."

"If Zhou Jie has any connection with me, I will pay you to give me the gift, not to mention the betrothal gift."

Xu Yan was still speaking indignantly, but Li Yujie seemed to have heard a joke and laughed: "Then you still have the nerve to say that their family is mercenary and wants to climb up the social ladder?"

"At least I didn't give my daughter away to you, but you are so good that you have to give me away when you meet someone with better conditions!"

Seeing Li Yujie talking to her about her crooked ideas, Xu Yan smiled and said, "That depends on your willingness. Otherwise, I can't send you away even if you pay me."

"Besides, I have interfered in your marriages and helped you climb high branches—"

"Okay, okay, what's all this mess?"

Seeing that Xu Yan was getting more and more off-topic, Li Haifu couldn't help but interrupt her and stop her from continuing.

Then he looked at Li Muhua and said, "Ask Zhou Ru when you meet her tomorrow. You know the reason. What I said just now was a bit harsh. I think her parents will have some objections."

"Ask Zhou Ru to help put in some good words. If that doesn't work, you can go over again. Don't ruin the relationship between the two families over such a small matter."

Li Muhua nodded and said, "I know what's going on. Let's talk about it tomorrow!"

After hearing this, Li Haifu nodded and dragged Xu Yan towards the main house.

There were only the brother and sister left in the courtyard. Li Yujie looked at Li Muhua and said, "Don't think too much. Her mother just wants to find me a husband."

"A daughter is sought after by hundreds of families. This is not a rare thing for me, nor is it a big deal. When I see Zhou Ru tomorrow, please be nicer in your speech."

Li Muhua nodded, feeling somewhat guilty towards Li Yujie. He had never felt so aggrieved in over ten years, especially when it came to Li Yujie's relationship.

Even Yan Bugui, who had long planned to make Li Yujie his daughter-in-law, only dared to talk about his little thoughts with Li Haifu in private and never put them on the table.

If it was another family that proposed this marriage, Li Muhua would have directly scolded them for being a toad wanting to eat swan meat.

But when it comes to his mother-in-law, he really can't open his mouth...

Seeing that Li Muhua still had some grudges in her heart, Li Yujie tried to persuade her again: "It's just like what I just said to mom, this is all normal. Wasn't it the same for us last year when we treated Zhou Ru?"

"Their parents were not present at the time. Our family was far more extreme than theirs today. We wanted to drag you two to get the marriage certificate right there and then."

"You can't make malicious assumptions about them just because they are my brothers, they stand on my side, and there is a slight difference in economic conditions between our two families."

Li Muhua could understand what Li Yujie meant by trying to persuade him. He thought that Li Yujie was the one who had been wronged in this matter, so why should he dwell on it for so long and let her persuade him!

After thinking it through, Li Muhua nodded as if he understood, and said with a smile: "Indeed, you took advantage of her parents' absence to bully Zhou Ru."

"Now it's all right. Zhou Ru's parents are trying to get back at Zhou Ru today. You are asking for it!"

Li Yujie nodded and said with a smile, "It's okay for you to think this way. Remember to tell Zhou Ru about this tomorrow. She is a thoughtful person. Let her think more positively."

"it is good!"

Li Muhua agreed immediately, looked at Li Yujie and said seriously: "Sister, I promise you, even Zhou Rujia can only say this once today."

"Wait until Zhou Ru and I get married at the end of the year. By then, I will be singing the praises of my serfs. If they dare to say that again, I will spit back at them."

After hearing this, Li Yujie smiled as sweet as candied fruit.

"No, I didn't ask you to agree to anything. Besides, if you do that, aren't you even worse than Chen Shimei? You just married a girl and now you don't take her seriously."

"That's different. If her family takes you seriously, I will naturally take his family seriously..."

The brother and sister started joking.
