"Spring grass, Wanchun grass."

Guan Chuncao answered so loudly, as if she was afraid that Xu Zhi might not be able to hear clearly.

It’s not that Xu Zhi couldn’t hear clearly, it’s that he simply didn’t want to remember.

He then asked, "How old are you?"

Wan Chuncao also said: "She is one year younger than my man."

You should answer the question according to what it is asked, but to Xu Zhi it sounded as if Wan Chuncao had said that on purpose.

If he knew how old Xu Muyu was, he would know how old she was.

Xu Zhi looked at the girl's dark skin again and asked a crucial question: "What book are you reading?"

Wan Chuncao blinked: "Nine years of compulsory education."

The corners of Xu Muyu's lips curled up imperceptibly.

Xu Zhi glanced at Wan Chuncao again and said, "I'm asking about your academic qualifications. Which prestigious school did you graduate from?"

"Ah, you're asking this, Dad. You didn't even explain it clearly. Look at the way you asked it. It's like you don't know how to ask questions."

Wan Chuncao twisted her clothes and laughed: "I graduated from high school."

After she finished speaking so that others wouldn't ask questions, she immediately lowered her head and harmlessly twisted her clothes, like a dumb girl who couldn't speak. Everything she said was unintentional so that others wouldn't find fault with her.

Compared with this, Xu Zhi cares more about her academic qualifications.

His scrutinizing gaze fell on her: "You said you graduated from high school?"

"Yes, Dad, your ears are not broken, I graduated from high school."

Wan Chuncao lowered her head and took the initiative to explain: "I have a younger sister at home, who lives with my father and mother."

"My mother said that girls must get married when they grow up, so I got married without going to school."

Xu Zhi was heartbroken. Even if Xu Muyu was a bad boy, he had spent a lot of effort to educate him.

Even though Xu Muyu is sitting in a wheelchair now, with his family background and cultivation, even if he cannot marry someone of equal status, he will at least marry a woman with a clean family background, good education and good manners.

Now he is with a good-for-nothing woman who only graduated from high school and whose head is full of feudal dregs.

Isn't it enough that he has humiliated himself for so many years, he still wants to destroy himself and ruin the rest of his life? !

Xu Zhi's expression suddenly turned cold.

Wan Chuncao was still grinning foolishly: "Dad, don't worry, I will follow my husband wherever he goes. Even if my husband's legs are not good, I will not despise him and will take good care of him."

The more loyal she expressed, the colder Xu Zhi's face became.

Everyone around felt it.

Yu Xiu and Xu Yicheng both stayed quiet.

The corners of Xu Muyu's mouth curled up even more.

Pian Guan Chuncao pretended not to see it, but still said, "You gave me 300,000 yuan as a betrothal gift, I will definitely be able to serve him well, Dad, don't worry, don't worry about us."

Or is it for the bride price, for a mere three hundred thousand yuan, that he wants to ruin his son? !

Xu Zhi said coldly: "Three hundred thousand?"

"Yes dad."

Wan Chuncao raised her head stupidly: "What's the matter, you think it's not enough, give me some more?"

Xu Zhileng said to her: "What did you say?"

"What's up, Dad? Why are you asking me like that? Is it really too little?"

Wan Chuncao shook her head and agreed: "If it really doesn't work, I'll do it if you want to give me some more. I agree to it."

After she finished answering, she looked at Yu Xiu again and again: "It's just that I feel sorry for my stepmother. She has been busy all the time for our marriage."

"Dad, you don't know, our marriage was arranged by her, and she also gave the betrothal gift."

"She ran around for our marriage, and she was almost ready to enter the bridal chamber with us. Dad, you are slapping her in the face by doing this."

She then said to Yu Xiu, "Stepmother, what should we do? Please persuade Dad. You gave me the betrothal gift at the beginning, saying that this was all the money our family had, so I accepted it."

"I can't be greedy. If I ask for more now, what kind of person will I be?"

Xu Zhi glanced coldly at Yu Xiu: "Why do you say that?"

Yu Xiu was shocked!

She never expected that Wan Chuncao would say these things, and the dinner party today was not arranged to talk about these things!

At least according to Wan Chuncao's ignorant and courageous country girl, she should just go by what the adults said, and she didn't have the courage to say so many words.

Besides, when did she ever say that her family only had so much money and would give 300,000 yuan as a betrothal gift?

A dowry of 300,000 yuan was a great honor for them in the countryside, and they themselves said that this was enough, so how could it be her fault?

Yu Xiu quickly explained: "Chuncao, is there any misunderstanding?"

"You can say yes."

Wan Chuncao sat down and said, "I will listen to your stepmother."

Xu Zhi's cold gaze swept over again.

Yu Xiu was anxious: "No, Chuncao, we didn't say that at the beginning."

It wasn't long before she said this, but she couldn't swallow this loss in silence.

When she first talked to Wan Chuncao's parents, Wan Chuncao herself agreed.

Why now it seems as if she arranged this marriage in order to gain benefits from it, and deliberately treated Wan Chuncao and Xu Muyu harshly.

How could she explain this to Xu Zhi who had been coaxed into submission?

Xu Yicheng calmly changed the subject and called Xu Muyu: "Brother Muyu, is your leg better? I saw that you looked much better just now."

As soon as he called Xu Muyu, Xu Zhi's attention was drawn over.

That’s right, everyone can see the changes in Xu Muyu.

Xu Zhi immediately began to care about Xu Muyu.

Xu Muyu was holding a cup of water, neither of them looked at each other, nor did he want to respond to anyone.

It's just right that he didn't respond. He is such a loner. If someone gets close to him, he will slap them in the face. All the attention is only on his bad temper.

"You guys figured it out, right? Oh my god, you finally figured it out."

Wan Chuncao clapped her hands and said, "Dad, you don't know, his life is a mess. When I got married, there was nothing at home, nothing to eat, nothing to drink, and only an old woman was left at home."

"Oh, these two mothers, they didn't even have a full meal, nor a sip of hot water to drink. The night I came, they didn't even want to kill a chicken, and they ate the leftovers I brought from my mother's house."

"I really don't know how I get through this day, poor God~"

After saying this, Xu Zhi looked at Xu Muyu with even more worry.

Is this true? He has ruined himself like that?

"It's not fake. You can tell by the clothes he's wearing, Dad. The clothes he's wearing cost 25 yuan. I bargained for it at the market."

Wan Chuncao also seemed confused: "Dad, you said that a country girl like me wouldn't expect me to marry a rich man, but his life is too hard."

"How come we don't even have money to buy a hot meal? Our house is in tatters. I used my dowry to fill some of the gaps."

As she spoke, she seemed to have said something wrong, lowered her head and rubbed her eyes again: "Dad, don't listen to me, I was just joking, I just want the 300,000 yuan betrothal gift, this money is enough for my husband and I to live on."

"It's okay, Dad. We can spend whatever money we have. Can we expect to study abroad like my second brother with this little money?"

Xu Yicheng and Yu Xiu were both stunned.

Xu Zhiren was also stunned.

Looking closely, Xu Muyu's clothes didn't look like a brand name. They were just simple white T-shirts that had been washed and had some wrinkles on the collar.

Xu Zhi knew Xu Muyu's temper. He never paid attention to these things, but now it has come to the point where he can't even make ends meet?

After all these years, has he run out of money, or is he just unwilling to spend it?

If she didn't want to spend it, she couldn't ask Wan Chuncao, a country girl, to make up for it with her dowry.

Speaking of Wan Chuncao's dowry, Xu Zhi glanced at Yu Xiu. How did she arrange this marriage?

Yu Xiu was speechless for a moment.

Of course, it was also because he, as a father, paid too much attention to his youngest son.

Xu Zhi finally softened his tone when talking to Xu Muyu: "I'll ask Secretary Gu to transfer the money to your card. Have a good meal."

"No need, Dad. We have money. My dowry is money. Even if we can't have a good meal every day, can't go abroad like my second brother, can't travel like my stepmother, but we still have food at home. It's okay, Dad. We don't want it."

Guan Chuncao helped Xu Muyu to refuse.

Xu Muyu had already turned his head away.

Before Xu Zhi could say anything, there was a knock on the door and the food arrived.

As soon as the food came, the topic had to be stopped even if it had not been continued.

The reason is that they are a family.

As a family, the most important thing is to maintain harmony and save face.

Who hasn't felt a little wronged? Who hasn't made mistakes?

If we make amends, we can be a harmonious family again.

Xu Zhi felt sorry for Xu Muyu because he had no money, but that was all he felt.

He would care about Xu Muyu's marriage. At this point, what else could he do except scold him?

The matter has been settled, and I'm afraid he won't even say a word to Yu Xiu.

I should have said it earlier, but when I saw Wan Chuncao in person, I was always dissatisfied, just for a few moments.

No matter what happens in the future, Yu Xiu will let this matter go.

Wan Chuncao didn't think much about it, just wanted to show some misery and add some trouble.

If you expect something to change just by having a meal or talking to someone for a few minutes, you are underestimating human nature.

Even if Xu Zhi was dissatisfied, it would only be for the duration of the meal. After the meal, the father and son rarely interacted with each other and continued to go their separate ways. There was no need to cause conflicts in another family because of this brief father-son relationship.

It is said that one's partner knows the partner best. Yu Xiu was able to arrange this marriage not just on impulse, but based on her understanding of Xu Zhi and the personalities of Xu Zhi and Xu Muyu, the father and son.

After the food came, Wan Chuncao was no longer asked about her background.

While the waiter was setting the dishes, they were about to talk about their other son.

Whether it was to change the subject or to really celebrate, they could never get around him.

This time, Wan Chuncao didn't say anything more and ate quietly.

As the head of the family, Xu Zhi raised his glass first: "Mu Yu is married and has grown up. I'll toast to him first."

Everyone raised their glasses, and Xu Muyu also raised his glass, which was rare.

Xu Zhi was satisfied and said, "And my little son, let's celebrate for him..."

"Your little son is dead, and you buried him with your own hands, didn't you know that?"
