But what happened to Lanhua now? Wasn't his and Zhang's intentions obvious? Why did she come to talk about this marriage again and again? And she said it herself was not enough, and asked the old man to persuade their family. Was she just begging them for mercy?

Before Sheng Xuan could say anything, Sheng Lanhua spoke again, "Third brother, I mentioned Xiao Jin and Xiao Lan's marriage to you last time, but you didn't agree. I was so upset... Hey, why did I marry your brother-in-law? It's because we know each other well. Wouldn't it be better if we were closer? You rejected my face last time, but I didn't take it to heart."

"Xiaoyin's marriage this time was arranged by our parents. I really like Xiaowen, who is well-educated and well-mannered at a young age. Xiaoyin is your nephew, but you have watched her grow up, and you should know her character best. My daughter, I am not bragging, is beautiful and tall. Such a good person, who can't match her? Even if she is married to the county town, she is qualified. I just think of our deep relationship as siblings, and Xiaowen is a family member. He is my nephew. How can I give my good daughter to anyone else? Naturally, I am thinking of him."

"Sister, since someone from the county has come to ask for marriage, you should quickly pick a good one for Xiaoyin." Sheng Xuan finally spoke, "Xiaowen's teacher said that Xiaowen should study hard first. As for marriage, we can talk about it later."

When Sheng Xuan said the last sentence, he was no longer smiling. He was really fed up with Lan Hua's bragging about Xiao Yin. Besides, his son was only a little old, and he was not old enough to get married anyway.

"What did you say?" Sheng Lanhua felt a little embarrassed after being blocked by Sheng Xuan.

First there was the old man's handwritten letter, and then she came in person and took the initiative to propose to marry her daughter to Xiaowen. She was so eager to send her daughter to the door, but the third son didn't appreciate it at all and directly rejected her.

In the Sheng family, she is the most important lady. From Sheng Nuo to Sheng Hao, which of the brothers dare to talk to her like this? Especially Sheng Xuan. Before, when he was in front of her, she was the only one who could control people. She always said whatever she said. When did he dare to say no?

"Sister, why are you doing this?" Sheng Xuan raised his voice a little. He was really a little impatient. "Look, when you were proposing marriage that day, the child's mother had already made it clear. Sister, how could you not understand someone as clear as you are? Later, you proposed marriage to me again, but you should at least tell me that the child's mother didn't agree. But you didn't tell me anything and proposed marriage to me right away. Do you think I'm a fool and are deliberately confusing me?"

Sheng Xuan recalled the days when Sheng Lanhua had given Xiao Lan and Xiao Wen advance notice, and how the children at home and Zhang Shi didn't pay much attention to him, so he became a little excited.

"Third brother, please don't accuse me. What do you mean by confusing you? You are a grown man, aren't you the head of this family? As long as you agree to this marriage, can your wife still rebel?" Sheng Lanhua said.

Xiao Lan hid behind the door, thinking to herself, it seems that her father is really angry. Her father is such a gentle person, but he was forced to this point.

At the beginning, Sheng Xuan didn't say anything, apparently to save face for Sheng Lanhua. If Sheng Lanhua was sensible and realized that Sheng Xuan didn't mean that and wanted to leave her as soon as possible, Sheng Xuan would have endured his anger and would not have been so disrespectful to her.

"Sister, my brother-in-law is also a grown man. Who is the head of your family, you or him? Does my brother-in-law have the final say on all matters in your family?" Sheng Xuan asked.

Sheng Lanhua was shocked by Sheng Xuan's repeated rebuttals. Now Sheng Xuan would talk back, and no longer blindly gave in to humiliation, but knew how to fight back and hit the nail on the head.

Xiao Lan was very happy to hear this outside the door. This is how you should fight back against such an ignorant person, otherwise he will keep pestering you without knowing what's good for him.

"Is Zhang Guihua the head of your family?" Sheng Lanhua asked angrily.

"In our family, the man is the breadwinner outside, and the woman is the homemaker. I'm in charge of outside affairs, and the child's mother has the final say on matters at home. Big sister, please don't mention this matter again in the future. I'll write a letter to tell our father." Sheng Xuan stood up and said.

Sheng Lanhua was completely dumbfounded. She pointed at Sheng Xuan and trembled, unable to speak.

It has only been a few days since Mr. Sheng and Mrs. Cui left, and it has only been a long time since Sheng Xuan separated from the family. The person who was timid and submissive before, the Zhang Guihua whom she had never looked at with any respect, has actually become the head of the family.

After Sheng Lanhua came to this realization, she felt it was unbelievable, even more difficult for her to accept than Sheng Xuan's refusal to marry her child.

"Third brother, you have forgotten your roots. Our parents raised you in vain. It has only been a short time since our parents passed away, and you don't even listen to what we elders said..." Sheng Lanhua said.

"Sister, what are you talking about?" What Sheng Xuan couldn't understand at this moment was that they were just talking about the children's marriage, and now Sheng Lanhua was saying that he was ungrateful. He really didn't understand what his elder sister was trying to say.

"Third brother, this marriage was arranged by our father, and I'm here to ask for it. Is this how you treat me? If our parents find out, have you thought about the consequences?"

"You are forcing me to cut off all ties with me. Don't you want to recognize any of your relatives now, not even our parents?" Sheng Lanhua said threateningly.

Sheng Xuan treated Sheng Lanhua badly and wanted to cut off all ties with her. If Mr. and Mrs. Sheng knew about this, they would never forgive him.

It seems that Sheng Xuan is afraid of Mr. Sheng and Mrs. Sheng. It is no secret in the old Sheng family. In fact, Sheng Lanhua knows Sheng Xuan. He is not afraid of the old couple, but he is soft-hearted and can't bear to make them sad.

Xiao Lan held her forehead as she listened outside the house. Sheng Lanhua actually equated marrying Xiao Yin to Xiao Wen with severing ties with the old man and the old lady. Her aunt was so fierce and ridiculous.

But it was such a unreasonable behavior that allowed her to control Sheng Xuan for so many years. It was really a headache.

"Sister, what you said has nothing to do with our parents, right? Besides, it's not your turn to say how things are going between us. You are a married girl, you should be the head of your family. We are the Shengs, and it's not you who should be the head of the family. Sister, it's getting late now, I won't keep you." Sheng Xuan started to see the guest off.
