They seemed to be a family, and there seemed to be an unyielding momentum on their faces.
Judging from yesterday's words, this family's surname is Zhang.
Seeing Lu Mu, the girl from the Zhang family's eyes visibly twinkled. When her eyes fell on Meng Li, she curled her lips with a look of disgust on her face.
Meng Li rolled her eyes.
Lu Mu pushed her into the east room. His face was calm and there was no emotion on his face.
However, people came to his door, and he told Meng Li the whole story.
In fact, it's not complicated. Lu Mu and Zhang Qiaoer are not childhood sweethearts, they are in love with each other.
Lu Mu has reached the age of marriage, and Zhang Qiaoer is also visiting her husband's family. Father Lu and Zhang's parents have some thoughts in this regard, and the two families had dinner together.
If nothing else happens, the next time will be the formal engagement.
But Father Lu had an emergency and his life was about to be saved, so he had no choice but to send Lu Mu to the Meng family to celebrate.
"It's nothing." Meng Li said, "I thought we were just trying to beat each other up when we got married, making it difficult for you and Zhang Qiao'er."
The Zhang family is also really interesting. It has not been settled at all. If there is an emergency, they just tacitly treat it as if the original intention does not exist. It is a face to everyone.
As a result, he blocked the road again and came to the door on this day when he was returning. It was just disgusting.
At this time, Qiao'er's mother's excited voice came from the main room: "Everyone in the village knows that our two families have had dinner together. With this plan in mind, what will the villagers think when your Lu family suddenly shows up like this?" Let’s call my family Qiao’er, how can I call my husband’s family from now on?”
"His aunt, isn't this settled at all? Just treat it as two families having a normal meal. There is no family in the same village who has never visited each other." Father Lu said, "Now that Lu Mu is married, let's make rice It’s useless to say anything after it’s cooked, so please be generous and don’t worry about it.”
"Uncle, you are wrong to say that. My daughter, Jia Jia, who has not left the government, has been subjected to such humiliation. No matter how generous she is, she can get by." Zhang Qiaoer's voice was on the verge of tears.
"Oh, I was suddenly ill and couldn't make the decision. The two children tried their best to save me and emptied all the family's savings. In the end, only the Meng family could save me, but there was nothing they could do."
"Zhang Yatou, everyone in the village has seen what happened. We are all sensible people and will not have anything to say to you. Don't think too much about it and find a good family to marry. You have good conditions. Maybe I can marry into a town or county."
Of course Zhang Qiaoer would not be willing to marry in the village, but Lu Mu was different.
Lu Mu was picked up by Father Lu from outside. He was wearing an expensive jade pendant when he picked it up. He might be a noble son from a wealthy family, but ordinary people in the town and county could not compare with him.
Moreover, Lu Mu was so handsome that one look at him would make the young girl and the young wife's hearts flutter.
Zhang Laoer said: "It's not that there is nothing we can do. We just need your Lu family to cooperate with us."
"What." There was confusion on Father Lu's face.
Lu Cheng was pacing in the yard with a bad look on his face. Although he felt that Meng Li was indeed not worthy of his eldest brother, the marriage had already been concluded and the Zhang family's reluctance was disgraceful in both attitude and behavior.
Zhang Laoer said: "Now that the girl Meng Li has woken up, Lu Mu has completed his mission. Let's go to the second room of the Meng family together and ask the Meng family to write a letter of divorce. We will talk about it when Lu Mu comes home. Marriage."
"I will bring Qiaoer's uncle and three uncles with me, and you bring your two brothers. The few orphans of the Meng family cannot withstand our pressure."
There was a hint of coldness in Meng Li's eyes. She was planning to bully them to the extreme. Are these orphans easy to mess with?
She pushed the wheelchair out by herself, and Lu Mu followed behind.
Father Lu and Lu Cheng were also stunned for a moment, obviously shocked by such remarks.
"No." Father Lu said decisively, changing his good mood just now.
The Zhang family looked at him and their expressions changed slightly.
Father Lu was really angry now, and the flesh on his face was trembling.
"When we get married, we get married. Our Lu family took the medicinal herbs from the Meng family and saved my life. Lu Mu should stay in the Meng family well. From birth to death, he is a member of the Meng family. I think Crossing a river and burning a bridge is something only an ungrateful person can do, and our Lu family cannot afford to lose face like this."
"Originally, our two families have not yet been engaged, and the Lu family has no promises to the Zhang family that need to be kept. The reason why I have a good attitude is because I think you are the wife's family. I didn't expect that you would go too far and ask us to be treacherous. matter."
Father Lu said solemnly: "This matter ends here. Our family still has to entertain our son and daughter-in-law who are returning home. If it is inconvenient for you to be here, please go home."
Meng Li couldn't help but want to slap the principled father Lu.
Ma sneered: "You can leave, but your Lu family's behavior has brought reputational damage to my Qiao'er family. Shouldn't we make some statement?"
"What do you mean?" Lu Cheng was amused.
"To compensate our family eight taels of silver, it is considered as a dowry for Qiaoer, so that her husband's family will think highly of her when she gets married."
As soon as Ma said this, even Lu Mu's expression became sullen.
Father Lu was shocked again by the Zhang family. He shook his head and smiled, with a sense of joy in his smile.
"Fortunately, I didn't arrange a marriage with your family, otherwise I would have harmed my family, Lu Mu."
"It's not like your Lu family has damaged the reputation of Qiaoer's daughter's family. You can't just pay the price, right? Do you think our Zhang family is easy to bully?" The Ma family no longer maintains an image and is aggressive.
Zhang Qiaoer tugged at the corner of Ma's clothes and winked at Ma anxiously.
She still wants to marry Lu Mu. If the Lu family is really willing to compensate, wouldn't she have no hope in the future?
But Ma has lived this long and knows that there is no room for change in the Lu family.
Zhang Laoer also looked like he had thought carefully about it: "Brother Lu, you have to give an explanation to your brother, otherwise you won't be able to tell your family when your brother goes back. The old man is still waiting for news. This matter is indeed true." Your family is not kind."
The wheelchair arrived at the door of the hall and stopped.
Lu Muhan said with a face: "There is no matchmaker for men and no betrothal for women. The Lu family does not owe you the Zhang family."
He only recognizes the rules and nothing else.
Meng Li said: "It's not impossible to pay money."
Everyone looked at her in surprise, and Lu Mu frowned. If Meng Li was trying to calm things down, then there was no need to do so. He would only compensate for the loss.
Lu Cheng lowered his voice: "Sister-in-law, are you crazy?"
Not to mention that the family had no money, even if they had money they would never pay attention to the Zhang family's unreasonable demands.
