Dress up as a farm girl and make a lot of money with space
Chapter 216 Let go
Li Sanlang felt a little at a loss as his sister-in-law was blocking the way in front of him. He was too embarrassed to push Hua away directly. In addition, Mr. Li was holding him tightly and he couldn't let go either. Li Sanlang could only sit back.
"Kid, I've told you so many times, if you have any problem, be calm, listen to what I say first and then think about what to do, why are you in such a hurry, how can I harm you!"
Mr. Li had said this countless times. Indeed, Mr. Li had never done anything to harm Li Sanlang or his grandchildren, but he always made requests that were uncomfortable but achievable. Li Sanlang had been very clear about this over the years.
"Third brother, no matter what happens this time, please help dad. Dad is begging you." Old Master Li pulled Li Sanlang and his eyes suddenly turned red.
He is old and Li Sanlang is a soft-hearted person, how could he possibly bear this?
"Dad, tell me what you want. I will do what I can do, but if I can't do it, there's nothing I can do."
Old Mrs. Zheng thought that Old Mr. Li was going to tell Li Sanlang about Li Zhengxue's concubine and the money he owed, so she hurriedly tried to stop Old Mr. Li.
If they said this, Li Sanlang would be even less likely to help them. His good third son has become a bad boy! He is no longer on the same page with them!
"Old man, you..."
Mr. Li waved his hand and interrupted Mrs. Zheng.
"Third brother, Dad can't hide it from you. Young Master Xue said that if he marries Li Mingxia, you as his parents can't go to his house to ask for money. He is marrying his daughter, not your whole family. Of course, he said that during festivals, there will be betrothal gifts and so on. You can't be short of anything. If you have too much, there will be nothing left. Third brother, look at this..."
Li Sanlang looked at Mr. Li with some confusion, not understanding what this meant. Isn't this the most basic thing?
"Dad, there's no need to talk about these things. We're not starving now. Once our daughter gets married, she'll be someone else's daughter-in-law. As parents, we can only provide for our daughter. How can we ask for money? This is not something the child's mother and I can do."
Unconsciously, Li Sanlang has been put into the situation. He is now completely looking at it from the perspective of what would happen if this marriage went through. This is also Mr. Li's purpose. Only by accepting something from the heart can there be hope of getting Li Sanlang to give in.
"Is that all? Dad?" Li Sanlang made it clear that he didn't believe it, and he didn't even use a question.
"Master Xue said that as long as Li Mingxia is willing to marry into his family, in addition to the betrothal gifts for you, he will also give us fifty taels of silver as a gift to honor us old couple." Old Master Li glanced at Li Sanlang cautiously, his expression full of uneasiness and guilt.
"I know this is not good, but our family is in a difficult situation now. The child has been studying for so many years. If we let him come back now, everything will be over. With the help of Master Xue, plus the fifty taels of silver, what else is there to worry about? Third brother, Dad knows that it is too shameless for Dad to say this, but what do you say? Dad has spent his whole life for the Li family!" Old Master Li was crying, looking very pitiful.
Li Sanlang frowned. He felt that Mr. Li should tell the truth at this time.
It should be because of the fifty taels of silver, and also because Master Xue can help Li Zhengxue to succeed in the future, so he cares so much about the affairs of Li Mingxia and Master Xue.
"This is not a big deal. Why can't you let me discuss it with the child's mother and daughter? This is a good thing. If they think it's appropriate, they won't refuse it." Li Sanlang murmured.
I know my daughter and wife well, and they will not fight over the fifty taels of silver.
"Third brother, that girl Mingxia is looking at us now...don't you know it in your heart?" Old Master Li glanced meaningfully in the direction of the gate. Looking at Li Sanlang's somewhat stiff face, he knew that Li Sanlang might not want to listen to what he said.
"But, Dad knows it well. It's not Mingxia's fault. It's us who have let Mingxia down." Old Master Li sighed.
"It's not just Mingxia, but also your wife, you, Zhengxue, and Zhengde. Dad knows it all in his heart. Dad is not confused." As Grandpa Li spoke, tears were about to fall again.
"Put yourself in her shoes. If I were Ming Xia, I wouldn't be willing to help with anything. But this is indeed a good marriage. Third brother, tell me for yourself, is what dad said true? If you think that Mr. Xue is not worthy of our Ming Xia, then just pretend that dad never said that!" Old Master Li took a step back and continued.
Li Sanlang quickly waved his hand, "I didn't mean that, Dad."
Mr. Li held Li Sanlang's hands with both hands, staring at Li Sanlang tightly, "Just think of it as Dad begging you, okay?"
Hua stood aside, tears falling from her eyes. "My son's uncle, we really have no other choice. Zheng Xue can only study for the rest of his life. He can't even farm or do country work! If he can't study, that's the end of his life!"
Mrs. Hua and Mr. Li were crying on either side, and from time to time there were also the scoldings from Mrs. Zheng and the consoling voice from Li Mei'e. Li Sanlang was not a person who was good at dealing with complicated matters, and now surrounded by these voices, he was even more at a loss.
"Third brother, our family is just one step away. Please help us. Your mother and I will remember your kindness forever!"
"Mr. Xue's conditions are not bad! He is a good man, hard to find even with a lantern. Third brother, if you are still dissatisfied, just tell me! Dad will do it for you even if I kowtow and beg him, okay?" This was the first time that Grandpa Li said words like "kowtow" and "please" to Li Sanlang, and the effect was much better than that of Grandma Zheng.
Li Sanlang couldn't help but feel soft-hearted when he saw Mr. Li like this. He thought that this marriage was not bad after all, and Mingxia would not be dissatisfied even if he agreed to it.
"Dad, regarding this marriage, I..."
"Help! Help! Something happened! Someone come quickly! The third son's wife fainted! Hurry up! Someone come! Help!"
Just when Li Sanlang was about to speak, Jin's shouting suddenly came from outside. The voice was urgent and did not sound fake. Li Sanlang withdrew his hand and rushed outside!
