Chapter 22: Surprise or fright?
Lin Jinan looked at Lin Xia who was stunned and said with a smile: "What's wrong, Xia Xia, aren't you happy to see your parents?"
Lin Xia was stunned again, shook her head and said, "No, just why are you here?"
Li Fengling stretched out his hand to straighten the hair scattered around Lin Xia's ears, and said distressedly: "Silly boy, why didn't you discuss such a big thing with us? You must be scared, right?"
Lin Xia was suddenly startled and said in a low voice: "You...you all know?" After saying this, she glanced at Lin Jinan nervously, thinking that her early love made him half-dead, but now she is pregnant out of wedlock and he must be mad.
Come on, he won't beat himself up like he did back then.
Thinking of this, Lin Xia couldn't help but become scared. The shadow of being beaten when she was a child suddenly emerged from the bottom of her heart, and her body couldn't help but start to tremble.
Li Fengling looked at Lin Xia's face as white as paper and knew that she was scared. He reached out and patted her hand and comforted her: "My child, don't be afraid. Your father and I came here just to tell you that what's in your belly is
The child cannot be beaten. Not only must he not be beaten, he must also be born well."
Lin Xia was stunned by her parents' change. She couldn't help but wonder what was going on? Her parents actually asked her to give birth to the child. Was she pregnant before marriage?
She couldn't understand her parents' attitude. This was a big deal in that small feudal county. People could drown with just their saliva. How come they weren't surprised at all and were so calm?
"Mom, are you okay? I got pregnant before we were married, am I unmarried?" Lin Xia was afraid that Li Fengling didn't figure it out, so she repeated the fact that she was unmarried.
"What's wrong with being unmarried? Nowadays, there are more and more people who are pregnant before being married, and your marriage to Xu Bin has been arranged. In one month, you will marry into the Xu family. Who dares to say anything there?"
"What? Marry... marry into the Xu family? You said I married into the Xu family?" Lin Xia stared at her eyes and asked in surprise, pointing at herself.
Li Fengling thought she was overly happy, so she looked back at Lin Jinan and said with a smile: "You see, the child is so happy that he is stupid."
Lin Jinan smiled slightly and remained silent.
Li Fengling looked away, looked at Lin Xia and said, "Who else could it be if it wasn't you? Your father-in-law came to the house yesterday to propose marriage. We accepted all the gifts. Let me tell you, the Xu family really likes you.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to give us a gift of one million yuan, one million, I have never seen so much money in my life."
"How...how much, one million?"
Lin Xia touched her heart, wondering if she would be scared to death today?
Seeing that Lin Xia was as stunned as she was, Li Fengling smiled and said, "Yes, you heard it right, it's one million. I've counted them one by one, and there's not a single missing one. It's a whole million."
"
Lin Xia was completely confused, thinking to herself, are the Xu family crazy? They actually brought 1 million in cash to propose marriage to their own house. Isn't this crazy?
At this moment, Lin Xia truly understands what it means to be a mother and a child! What it means to reach the sky in one step?
"Yesterday we discussed the wedding date with your grandma, and the date is set to be one month from now. By that time, you will be in good health and your belly will not be visible. It will be a good time to get married."
Lin Xia was completely stunned. She even booked a wedding date!
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Xia recovered from the shock, took a deep breath, looked at her parents and said, "Dad, Mom, I don't know what the Xu family told you, but I can't agree to this marriage.
I can't marry him."
"Pa..." The chicken soup bowl Li Fengling was holding fell to the ground. The moment the bowl touched the ground, it made a crisp sound, and the chicken soup in the bowl spilled all over the floor.
The hot chicken soup splashed all over Li Fengling, but she didn't seem to feel it. She looked at Lin Xia with a frown and said, "Why? Why can't you marry him?"
Lin Xia hurriedly got out of bed, walked to her side in a few steps and said in panic: "Mom, are you okay? Did you get burned?"
While talking, Lin Xia had turned over Li Fengling's clothes to check if there were any burns.
As soon as Lin Xia's hand touched the clothes, Li Fengling opened it. Her eyes were as wide as a bell: "I asked you why you can't marry him?"
She was stunned for a moment. She didn't seem to expect that her mother would push her away. Just by accident, her body was pushed back several steps.
After a while, Lin Xia calmed down and said solemnly: "I don't love him, and he doesn't love me, so we can't get married. If we get married just for the sake of our children, neither of us will be happy in the future."
Li Fengling took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Why did he let you get pregnant if he didn't love you? Why did you sleep with him if you didn't love him? Why did he let his father come to our house if he didn't love you?"
Proposing marriage? Is he out of his mind?"
Li Fengling seemed to have heard a big joke.
At this time, Lin Xia really wanted to reply: Congratulations, you got the answer right. Not only is his brain damaged, but their whole family's brains are probably damaged as well.
Although she thought so in her heart, she did not dare to say it out loud. She sighed helplessly and said: "This is a long story, and I can't explain it clearly in a sentence or two. Anyway, even if he doesn't want to marry me, neither will I."
Marry him, so we return the money to them and have nothing to do with each other from now on."
When Li Fengling heard that the money was returned to them, she was furious. She thought how could she return the money she finally got so easily, and that was not 12,000 or 20,000, but one million. She was so confused.
Only then will it be returned to others.
"No, the marriage has been arranged and cannot be let go. Moreover, when his father went to our house to make the appointment, everyone in the ten miles and eight villages knew that if this matter does not go through, where will you put my and your mother's faces in the future?
How can we meet people?" Lin Jinan, who had been silent for a long time, said angrily.
Lin Xia looked at her angry father and sneered in her heart, wondering which one is more important, your face or my happiness?
The anger in Li Fengling's heart could no longer be suppressed. He stepped forward and pointed at Lin Xia's forehead, and said rudely: "Why don't you know what's good and what's good? What's wrong with Xu Bin? People grow up."
He is handsome, and his family background is good, and you are not a young man when you marry into the Xu family. That is Mrs. Xu who is being married by the Ming Dynasty. She will enjoy endless glory and wealth. Moreover, when you marry into the Xu family, we will also enjoy the blessings, and your two sisters may also enjoy it.
Where can I find such a good thing as being able to marry into a wealthy family? Do you know how many people are trying their best to marry into a wealthy family, but they still can't get married?"
