Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

As soon as Wang Zhanggen said this, Li Zhenxing and Luo Jiaxin were immediately overjoyed.

"In-laws, marriage is no child's play—is it really settled just like that?"

Li Zhenxing still found it hard to believe this fact in his heart.

He felt everything was like a dream.

One moment he was racking his brains over his daughter's lifelong matter of premarital pregnancy, and the next moment someone was actively sending a Mr. Right to his daughter!

A Tsinghua University student—the only one in the whole county!

He never even dared to dream that he would become Li Zhenxing's son-in-law!

"Really settled just like that. Let's pick a good day and hold the banquet before Xiao Hua's winter vacation ends!"

Wang Zhanggen said this.

"How does Xiao Hua feel about this? Why didn't he come along?"

Li Yuncui asked this at that moment.

She felt that for such a major matter, Wang Xiaohua should come over to discuss it together.

But now there was no sign of Wang Xiaohua.

"He's just a bookworm, what does he know? For such a big matter as marriage, we parents just arrange it for him!"

Wang Zhanggen's tone was very forceful.

As if Wang Xiaohua listened to him about everything.

After he said this, Li Zhenxing and Luo Jiaxin were even happier.

"Then this matter is really settled, in-laws, don't go back on your word!"

Luo Jiaxin said this.

Wang Zhanggen hurriedly said:

"How could we go back on our word? We went to consult Wu Banxian, and your Yun Cui is my Xiao Hua's destined marriage fate! Let's look at the almanac together now and pick a day!"

"Good, good, wife, hurry and get the almanac!"

Li Zhenxing urged excitedly.

Luo Jiaxin hurriedly ran to take down the almanac hanging on the wall.

Several people looked at the almanac together to pick a good day.

They finally chose the ninth day of the second lunar month.

That day was a good day.

But by then Wang Xiaohua would already be at school.

Wang Zhanggen said:

"It doesn't matter, by then let him ask for leave to come back for a few days. Anyway, university is very relaxed, asking for leave is easy!"

Now it was the fourth day of the first lunar month, and there was only a little over a month left until the ninth day of the second lunar month.

Since the day was set, they had to hurry and get busy with the banquet arrangements.

Where to hold the banquet, how many people to invite, how to run the proceedings—all these had to be settled quickly.

Wang Zhanggen and Li Zhenxing discussed together for the whole evening.

The more they discussed, the happier they became.

The whole house was harmonious and joyful.

Just then, Li Xiulan's phone rang.

It was Wang Xiaohua calling.

Li Xiulan hurriedly answered:

"Hello, Xiao Hua, are you back?"

"Mom, I'm not coming back tonight, I'm staying overnight in the county town."

"Why aren't you coming back? Your dad and I are at Yun Cui's house, and we were still thinking of waiting for you to come back so you could come over too."

Hearing this, Wang Xiaohua's heart immediately gave a thump, and he secretly sensed something was wrong.

"No, what are you doing running over to Li Yuncui's house?"

Li Xiulan truthfully said:

"We went to find Wu Banxian today, and asked Wu Banxian to help calculate your marriage fate. Wu Banxian said Li Yuncui is your destined marriage fate. We are discussing this matter with Yun Cui's parents right now, and we've already finalized it!"

"What?!?!"

Wang Xiaohua was stunned speechless.

"No, when did Wu Banxian say Li Yuncui is my marriage fate!"

Wang Xiaohua was completely confused.

Actually, before Li Xiulan and Wang Zhanggen went to find Wu Banxian, he had already called Wu Banxian to give him a heads-up, wanting Wu Banxian to say his marriage fate referred to Li Jianjia!

How did it become Li Yuncui now?

Li Xiulan said:

"Wu Banxian said your other half studied with you, and lives very close to our home, to the southeast of our home. Isn't that referring to Li Yuncui? Her home is just to the southeast of ours, only a few hundred meters away, and you and Li Yuncui were primary school deskmates, and you also like Li Yuncui."

"No, when did I ever say I like Li Yuncui?"

Wang Xiaohua was completely thrown off.

He had originally thought everything had already been calculated.

As long as Wu Banxian first stated the general direction of his marriage fate, then stay outside tonight, and by the way call home to say he was dating someone, then draw Li Jianjia out, they could go with the flow and get them to accept everything, thus avoiding a lot of unnecessary trouble.

But unexpectedly, his parents' thought processes were out of the ordinary.

He had just returned from Wu Banxian's place, and actually went straight to Li Yuncui's home to propose marriage!

Sometimes it's like this—not fearing that smart people scheme endlessly, but fearing that stupid people have a sudden flash of inspiration.

And Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan, judging by their level of cognition and their current actions, clearly belonged to the stupid category.

No matter how poor their son's outward appearance was, he was still last year's citywide Gaokao Top Scorer, a one-in-ten-thousand existence—how could they look down on their own son like that? How could they think their son couldn't find a partner? And then not even mind someone like Li Yuncui who had a child out of wedlock?

Any normal person would mind, right?

Anyway, Wang Xiaohua definitely minded.

Even if he hadn't been dating Li Jianjia, he couldn't possibly marry Li Yuncui.

Let alone that he and Li Jianjia had already confirmed their relationship.

However, his parents simply didn't understand Wang Xiaohua.

"Haven't you always kept the tape recorder Yun Cui gave you? Your father and I both thought you definitely liked Yun Cui; if you didn't like her, why keep the tape recorder she gave you? Don't be shy, you're not young anymore, it's time to date. Although Yun Cui is pregnant, you two are childhood sweethearts; just live well together after getting together, and don't care about other people's eyes."

"What kind of marriage alliance are you two messing around with!"

Wang Xiaohua, having grown up this big, had never been this angry before.

"Can you two stop causing trouble for me! Did Wu Banxian directly name Li Yuncui? Without directly naming her, how did you two determine it was Li Yuncui? This is simply outrageous. I'm telling you clearly now: I don't like Li Yuncui. You want me to marry a woman pregnant with another man's child, to help another man raise a child—have your brains been flooded!"

Wang Xiaohua was extremely agitated:

"Go ask Wu Banxian again later; what he said definitely wasn't Li Yuncui!"

Li Xiulan was seeing Wang Xiaohua this agitated for the first time, and she was a bit stunned all at once.

"But your father and I have already proposed to Yun Cui's parents, and even picked the day for the banquet."

Hearing these words, Wang Xiaohua was so angry his lungs were about to explode:

"fuck!"

He directly spat out English profanity.

He had never been so undignified before.

Since he came of age, his emotions had always been very stable.

But now, being messed with by his parents like this, he really couldn't stay stable.

He definitely could not marry Li Yuncui, and he wouldn't care what reaction Li Yuncui and Li Yuncui's family would have.

What he cared about was: if such an absurd thing were known by Li Jianjia, how would Li Jianjia view his parents?

If Li Jianjia's parents knew, how would Li Jianjia's parents view his original family?

"Hurry up and call off the marriage arrangement for me!"

Wang Xiaohua was furious beyond endurance:

"You two as parents, can you do fewer absurd things, can you let me save some worry!"
