Liu Qingbo finally managed to stabilize the two elders in the family. In fact, he himself felt guilty. He did not want to get married, not because of face issues.
He believed in Pan Meiyu for the rest of his life, and it was impossible for him to marry anyone else in this life, but his old father and mother worked hard all their lives just for him.
I couldn't bear to watch the Liu family really cut off their descendants, but because the Liu family continued to marry into the family, the two elders in the family lost their dignity.
They will definitely not be able to withstand such a blow by then, and they might do something. But Liu Qingbo is now forced to do nothing.
The palms and backs of his hands were full of flesh, and he couldn't let go of any of them. Now he could only take one step at a time, and he would figure out what to do next.
In order for the young couple to reconcile, Old Liu Tou went to the field to pick a sack of emerald melons, which were grown using the Liu family's unique secret recipe.
It's fragrant and crispy. The Liu family relied on this skill of growing melons to gradually enrich their family wealth. This melon was specially supplied to the official family. Pan Meiyu had never eaten it even in the years since she was married.
After picking a bag, the three of them went to Jiang's house to discuss the matter together. Jiang Cao was very polite as soon as he entered the house, and when he saw that the whole Liu family was here, he was full of sincerity.
Pan Meiyu saw that Liu Qingbo had brought his parents with him, and when she saw the jade melon in Old Liu's hand, she knew that the Liu family had agreed to Liu Qingbo's marriage.
So he said: "Since your family has agreed, let's find an auspicious day to get things done. And don't forget the three chapters of the contract I mentioned."
After hearing the agreement, the two elders of the Liu family looked at each other, but all they could see in each other's eyes was confusion. Liu Qingbo didn't seem to mention this at home.
Mrs. Liu Xu said: "What do you want to do? We have made a three-part agreement, and Qingbo has already agreed to marry you. Don't look too ugly!"
What annoyed Pan Meiyu the most was Mrs. Liu Xu. As soon as she opened her mouth, Pan Meiyu's mood suddenly lost its beauty. She glanced at Liu Qingbo, her face full of impatience.
Liu Qingbo quickly went to hold Liu Xu, and then explained in a low voice: "It's not a big deal, it's okay. The most important thing now is that we reconcile."
Old Liu Tou looked at Liu Qingbo. His son had been honest since he was a child and would normally not do such things as lying. But looking at him like this now, it was obvious that he had a guilty conscience.
Old Liu Tou ignored Liu Qingbo and asked, "He didn't tell us which chapters you agreed on in the three chapters. You should tell us."
Pan Meiyu glanced at Liu Qingbo and knew from his panic expression that he had not made it clear to his family, so she said: "Then we need to make this matter clear, and don't act rogue then.
First, Liu Qingbo has joined our Jiang family. He will listen to me for future matters. Of course, he will also move to our courtyard house.
Secondly, your Liu family's affairs are none of my business now. I'm not the Liu family's daughter-in-law, so naturally you can't control me, so I don't want to see you gesticulating and chattering in front of me.
Third, Liu Qingbo cannot regret the marriage. We will sign a contract when the time comes. Of course, in return for the marriage, our Jiang family will pay you regular alimony every month.
These are the three chapters of the agreement. Don’t think that I don’t know what kind of medicine you are selling in your gourd. It is impossible to go back on it. The paper has already been written. If you agree, just sign and sign it.”
Old Liu's face turned green when he heard this. That was not what Liu Qingbo said at home. Now the Jiang family has actually prepared the documents. Doesn't this clearly target the Liu family?
After hearing this, Mrs. Liu Xu pushed Liu Qingbo away, pointed at Pan Meiyu and said, "You little hooves, do you really think you are a treasure?
Don’t you think you are speaking human language? Our Liu family has never treated you badly, right? Aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning for what you are doing now?
It's a pity that we went to the fields to pick melons for you. I think your mouth will be rotten after eating them. My Qingbo treats you with all my heart and soul, but you do such a thing here. You really have the most poisonous heart of a woman!"
Liu Qingbo hurriedly went to pull Mrs. Liu Xu, and finally there was some hope in talking, but once it was done, it was gone. Mrs. Liu pointed at Pan Meiyu and said:
"My child, look at what is good about this woman that makes you miss her so much. Mom promises you that she will find you a better one when you get back. I will find you whatever kind of mother you want!"
Liu Qingbo pulled Mrs. Liu Xu and said, "Mom, please stop talking. I told you that I will never marry. I only have one daughter-in-law, and that is Pan Meiyu. Please stop talking!"
Mrs. Liu Xu covered her heart. This son has been abused like this, but he is still stubborn. Isn't this going to make him angry to death?
Old Liu Tou usually kept silent, but he couldn't bear this anymore. He said to Jiang Cao: "My dear, you come to judge, we usually treat beautiful jade not bad, right?"
We accepted that Meiyu had health problems before, and the child can wait slowly. His mother likes to talk about it, but which woman is not like this?
We don’t have grandchildren to wait for. Meiyu’s health is not good, so we go around looking for doctors and medicine to nurse her back to health. We ask ourselves, there’s nothing we can do to feel sorry for her, right?
We have no other requirements, everything else is fine, except that we cannot marry into the family. I have worked hard to grow melons all my life, and the Liu family is slowly getting better.
There is only one Miaomiao in the Liu family. How can I stand it if you ask me to marry into my wife? We can talk about other requirements slowly, but Qingbo cannot marry into my wife!"
Jiang Cao also knew that letting Liu Qingbo marry into the family was indeed unacceptable to the Liu family, but seeing the Liu Xu family in such a state, even if Meiyu went back, she would still be in trouble.
But Pan Meiyu's attitude was very obvious. She didn't want to go back to Liu's house. Looking at the old Liu Tou, whose eyes were red, Jiang Cao couldn't hold it back. She pushed Pan Meiyu.
"Everyone should give in. It's okay not to marry into the family, but the young couple has to move out. You saw it in the Liu family. I don't know why there will be a quarrel next time."
Mrs. Liu Xu was the first to refuse: "Not to mention that there are elderly people at home to take care of. Where can we move out? We have to spend money everywhere. Isn't this a waste of money?"
Jiang Cao said: "Now I live in this courtyard, and the house in the village is empty. It will be nice for the couple to live in it then."
Mrs. Liu Xu still refused: "This man lives in the house of the woman's mother's family. If we say anything, people will laugh at us, Qingbo, for eating soft rice. No, no, no!"
Old Liu Tou said: "It's really not possible for Qingbo to live in your Jiang family's house. In this way, our family can contribute a little to build a house for the children!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Liu Xu was about to have a fit, but was held down by Old Liu. If she hadn't been an old woman, the young couple wouldn't have made such a fuss.
After the Liu family showed such sincerity, Jiang Cao and Pan Meiyu looked at each other. Pan Meiyu nodded and said, "Then I'll do as you say."
