I'm dressed up as the timid eldest daughter, and the whole family has to listen to me!

Upon hearing this, Master Li glanced at Aunt Cai, whose face was filled with tension, and said:

"Perhaps my wife didn't explain it clearly to her sister. You see, our Li family has built up a foundation for so many years. We can't just let it change to an outsider's surname in my generation. I will eventually divide the family property among my two daughters."

As he spoke, Master Li paused for a moment,

"Although both daughters are my flesh and blood, there is always a priority and importance. If these two daughters marry into the family, they will naturally receive more of the family property. If they marry, I will prepare some dowry for them and send them off, which will be my best effort."

Upon hearing this, Granny Liu swallowed hard, her eyes darting around. Although she had never been to Master Li's house, Master Li was a well-known wealthy man in Fuping County, and everyone who mentioned him would praise his family's riches.

Now that such a huge windfall has fallen into her lap, Granny Liu is not about to let him go easily.

Just as Master Li said, he did indeed have many children. Even if Su Songchuan were to become a son-in-law of the Li family, it would be the highest honor for his family. Others who wanted to become sons-in-law of the Li family would probably not even have a chance.

Besides, if Su Songchuan really marries Li Shuer in the future, he will at least have to acknowledge her as his mother. After all, he is a scholar, and a scholar cannot lose his filial piety and face. Otherwise, even if he passes the imperial examinations and becomes a scholar, he will still be criticized.

Thinking this, Granny Liu turned to look at Su Songchuan again. She had raised this son herself, and no matter what, he would always be on her side. If he had the Li family's business in the future, wouldn't she also benefit from it?

Just as Granny Liu was about to speak after making up her mind, Su Songchuan couldn't sit still any longer. He stood up abruptly, poured himself a glass of wine, and...

“Master Li, I understand what you just said. I don’t want your family’s property. I just, I just value this girl, Shu’er. Today, in front of all the elders, I’m not afraid to say something offensive. The moment I saw Shu’er, I knew that I would marry no one but her in this life.”

With that, Su Songchuan downed the entire glass of wine in one gulp.

"I toast to you both, thank you for trusting me and telling me all this. Now all I want is to marry Shu'er, and I'll leave everything else to you."

Li Shu'er was already shy, and she had a slight liking for Su Songchuan. Now that she saw that he was willing to give up so much for her and become her family's son-in-law, her affection for him grew even stronger.

Li Shuer raised her head and smiled slightly at Su Songchuan. This smile made Su Songchuan even more excited, and he couldn't wait to become a live-in son-in-law of the Li family today.

Old Lady Liu, standing to the side, could easily understand what her son was saying. Although she had originally intended to arrange a marriage between the Li family and her son, making him a son-in-law living with the family,

But hearing these words come out of her own son's mouth now, she felt uneasy, a sense of emptiness in her heart.

Seeing that her son wouldn't even glance at her, Granny Liu felt even more distressed and picked up the wine glass in front of her, drinking it all in one gulp.

Upon hearing this, Old Man Su's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Su Songchuan, his face flushed red with anger and resentment.

After a moment of contemplation, Old Man Su slammed his hand on the table, stood up, glared at Su Songchuan, and cursed:

"You little rascal, you really have no sense of propriety or shame at all. I think all the books you read have gone to waste. Fine, fine, fine, since you're willing to become someone's live-in son-in-law, then I won't stop you. From now on, I'll pretend I don't have a son like you!"

After saying that, Old Man Su flicked his sleeve and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Granny Liu tried to pull him away, but she couldn't stop him at all. She could only turn around and smile apologetically at Master Li and Madam Li.

"I'm really sorry, but my husband is just old-fashioned and stubborn. He's in a bad mood right now and can't think straight. We don't need to worry about him. I'll talk to him later."

Master Li had never been treated so disrespectfully before, and he was now quite annoyed. He slammed his hand on the table.

"Being me, the son-in-law of the Li family, is a blessing you've accumulated over eight lifetimes. So many people are waiting to propose marriage, but I don't want any of them. Now that I've come to meet you, you're the ones who are giving me attitude. Go out and ask around in Fuping County, how many people dare to treat me like this?"

Seeing this, Aunt Cai quickly got up and poured Master Li a cup of wine.

“Oh, brother-in-law, that old man Su is just an ignorant peasant. Don’t take him seriously. Look at Songchuan, he’s a polite and well-mannered boy.”

As she spoke, Aunt Cai quickly turned and winked at Su Songchuan.

"Hurry up and offer a toast to your future father-in-law and apologize!"

Seeing this, Su Songchuan quickly stood up and offered a toast to Master Li.

“Uncle Li, please don’t take my father’s rough nature to heart. Calm down, it’s not worth getting yourself sick from anger.”

Seeing this, Master Li also raised his wine cup to Su Songchuan, but put it down without drinking.

Then, Master Li turned to Aunt Cai and said:

"The marriage between our two families is still far from being finalized, so don't keep talking about father-in-law here. Didn't you see that the other family's father was unwilling just now? It seems that there's no point in discussing this matter. In that case, we'll be leaving now."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Cai quickly winked at Granny Liu, who then hurriedly raised her wine glass.

“Master Li, please don’t worry. My husband did something wrong today. Please forgive him. To be honest, I’m the one who makes the decisions in our family.”

As she spoke, Granny Liu glanced at Su Songchuan, whose face was full of anxiety, and then said:

“If I say Song Chuan can become your son-in-law, then he definitely can.”

Upon hearing what Granny Liu said, Su Songchuan hurriedly nodded to Master Li.

"Yes, yes, Uncle Li, in our family we always follow my mother's arrangements. And when I really marry Shu'er in the future, I will definitely follow her arrangements completely."

Master Li glanced at Su Songchuan, then at Granny Liu, paused, and said:

"When a couple lives together, it's not necessary for one person to always listen to the other. If they discuss things together, they can live a good life."
