The old family building of the school has very poor sound insulation. The voices of the three people in the living room were loud, but the three people in the bedroom could hear them clearly.
When Xu Zhiyi heard that Xu Zhaocai and Zhang Aihua were going to the Ming family in person to ask for 3 million in betrothal gifts, Xu Zhiyi anxiously held Li Zijuan's hand, and her voice suddenly became tearful:
"Mom, what should I do? Grandpa, grandma, they..."
Li Zijuan was also very angry. She tried her best to calm down and comforted Xu Zhiyi, "Girl, don't worry. I trust your dad. He will handle it well."
Xu Zhian kept clenching his hands into fists and gritted his teeth.
He is Xu Zhiyi's younger brother, and he is too shameless to rely on his sister's gift to buy a house and marry a wife.
How could his grandparents have the nerve to say that they would use his sister's gift to marry his brother-in-law's son?
His cousin Xu Zhihong is only 14 years old this year.
Forget about being partial, use your own money to do it, and his eldest grandson won't fight for a single cent. This is good, because he plans to hit his sister.
It’s also long-lasting.
Was it Liang Jingru who gave them the courage?
hehe.
Later, the three of them heard Xu Cheng's voice, "You go and ask for it. If you go ahead, I will call the Ming family and cancel the marriage."
Xu Zhiyi panicked, "Mom, this..."
"Shh..." Li Zijuan put her hand on her lips, "Don't worry, listen to your dad first."
How satisfied Xu Cheng is with Mingrui as his son-in-law, others don’t know, but she doesn’t know?
How could you give up like this?
The three of them continued to listen attentively.
Zhang Aihua shouted anxiously:
"Boss, what are you talking nonsense about? It's hard to find such a good match even with a lantern, how can you withdraw? You are not allowed to withdraw, you cannot withdraw! If your family doesn't want it, you can introduce it to that girl Yingxue. In short, the wealth will not flow away. Field of outsiders.”
The three people in the bedroom rolled their eyes in unison.
Xu Cheng turned his head to the side, his face quickly wrinkled, turned back, and returned to his serious face, automatically ignoring the second half of Zhang Aihua's sentence.
He said: "You forced me. Don't you just want to disrupt my girl's marriage and embarrass me?"
"We do not……"
"I finally see it clearly," Xu Cheng interrupted them, his voice choked, "My parents only care about their youngest son, and they don't have the position of the elder son like me. Your eldest son's face and reputation are nothing to you." I don’t care at all, I only care about how much money I can make for my little son.”
Xu Zhaocai was unconvinced and said:
"Nonsense, we haven't been good enough to you? With five children, you are the only one to go to college. You are the only one. Has your brother gone to college? No! If he goes to college, there is no need to follow him now. Jianguo works on the construction site."
Li Zijuan was so angry that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
It was as if Xu Cheng had robbed Xu Wei of his opportunity to study.
Xu Cheng was able to go to college because he worked hard and studied well on his own. Xu Zhaocai and Zhang Aihua were workers at the time and were able to support him in his studies.
Xu Wei didn't go to college because he didn't study hard. He didn't go to high school after graduating from junior high school, and he refused to repeat his studies. It wasn't because he didn't have money to support his studies.
It was him who failed to live up to his expectations and had nothing to do with Xu Cheng.
Xu Ying, Xu Yan, and Xu Hong did not go to college. Firstly, they were not very good at studies, and secondly, they favored boys over girls. They thought that for girls, it would be enough to go to junior high school and be literate. They did not want to be in their family. Spend more money on you.
Li Zijuan is very clear about this situation.
She wanted to hear what Xu Cheng had to say.
Then, Xu Cheng said: "Yes, I have always been grateful to my parents for supporting me in my studies. However, if my parents go to Ming's house and make mischief, my gratitude will be gone. If you make trouble, I will never be seen in front of others again." Not to mention being unable to hold his head high and becoming the laughing stock of his colleagues, I can’t be a vice principal anymore.”
Upon hearing this, the old couple was frightened.
Ever since Xu Cheng became the vice-principal of Weicheng Middle School, the two of them had a special glow on their faces, which they had shown off countless times in front of their relatives, friends, and neighbors, making them the envy of others.
After only a few days in the job, the eldest son's vice-principal was dismissed. Where would they put their old faces?
They quickly asked Xu Cheng why he couldn't become the vice principal?
Xu Cheng coaxed and lied, telling them half-truths that his vice-principal was considered a deputy director in terms of official rank and a party member. If they did this, they would ruin his reputation, and their rivals would take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of this matter. If the fuss gets bigger, his superiors will remove him as vice-principal.
They both knew that Wang Zhixuan was causing trouble for him.
After saying this, Xu Zhaocai and Zhang Aihua lost their momentum and promised Xu Cheng on the spot that they would not go to the Ming family to ask for the 3 million gift.
The three people in the bedroom finally relaxed and raised their eyebrows at each other, giving a thumbs up.
Unexpectedly, before their thumbs were down, Xu Zhaocai and Zhang Aihua started acting evil again.
They threatened Xu Cheng and asked his father-in-law to ask the Ming family for a gift of 3 million. If he didn't ask the Ming family, they would not attend Xu Zhiyi's engagement day or any future weddings.
"Hmph, you have to figure it out yourself!" After saying this, they slapped their butts and left.
Xu Cheng was worried and wanted to send them back, but they said angrily:
"I dare not bother you. Xiaowei and his wife are waiting for us downstairs. They will give us a gift. Anyway, if we can't get the 3 million, we won't show up at the engagement ceremony. When the time comes, let's see how you and your wife give it to the Ming family. Explanation? Humph!"
After sending the two downstairs, Xu Cheng saw Xu Wei and his wife hiding in the shade of a tree not far away.
It seemed that they were the ones who sent Xu Zhaocai and Zhang Aihua.
After receiving a call from Xu Zhiyi, he hurried back from Lao Wu's house, but he didn't find them when he went upstairs.
Xu Cheng glanced at Xu Wei from afar, narrowed his eyes, and said loudly:
"Xiaowei, since you sent my parents here, you are responsible for sending them back. At five o'clock in the afternoon, you come to my house and I will discuss anything with you."
When Xu Wei saw that Xu Cheng had seen them both, he didn't hide anymore and they walked over.
The couple's expressions were very unnatural, their eyes flickered, and they did not dare to look at Xu Cheng.
The four of them hadn't gone far when Xu Cheng heard Zhang Aihua's voice:
"Xiaowei, don't worry, your dad and I will give you this money. If Zhihong comes, it's not 1.5 million, let's say 1 million. Your dad and I can catch your eldest brother. You go to your eldest brother in the afternoon, he will definitely I’m telling you this.”
Xu Wei was dubious, "Dad, Mom, my eldest brother really listens to you two..."
Hearing this, Xu Cheng's lungs almost exploded with anger.
When she got home, Li Zijuan was instructing her siblings to clean up the house. The broken bowls and rice on the floor were gone.
With such a fuss, the two children were not in the mood to have lunch.
Li Zijuan felt sorry for her son who was beaten for her, and was relieved that the pain for the two children was not in vain and that they would protect their mother at the critical moment.
Fortunately, Zhang Aihua and Xu Zhaocai were old and weak, but Xu Zhian only suffered a little pain but was not injured.
It's just that the child is older, and he doesn't say anything openly, but he is always angry in his heart.
Li Zijuan advised him not to worry about these troubles and go have a good sleep first.
Xu Zhian has been working from 11 o'clock last night to noon today, and he will have to work a four-hour night shift tonight. If he doesn't sleep in the afternoon, he will not be able to survive at night.
This child has become much more sensible since he started working.
After quickly cleaning up the house, the family of four took a lunch break.
No one could sleep.
Xu Zhiyi hid under the quilt and cried secretly because his grandparents made him angry.
She just wanted to marry someone decently and live a good life with Mingrui in the future. Unexpectedly, her grandparents, as well as her brother-in-law's family, just wanted to use her as a cash cow.
She was married to Mingrui, not sold to the Ming family.
