Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Li Xiulan felt very wronged after Wang Xiaohua scolded her so harshly.

The son she had raised with such hardship had grown up, his wings had hardened, and he no longer respected her.

No matter what, as parents, their intentions were good.

It's all for your own good; if you don't appreciate it, fine, but how can you scold your parents like that?

As parents, they would surely feel hurt inside.

"Xiao Hua, don't be angry; I'll talk to your father later."

Li Xiulan said with a face full of grievance.

"Mom, don't blame me for being emotional; you should have confidence in your son. No matter how useless your son is, he isn't so cheap as to marry a woman who had a child out of wedlock. Even if he did marry her, would you raise the child Li Yuncui gives birth to? That wouldn't be our Wang Family's bloodline! Aren't you the ones who value tradition the most? Don't you mind helping raise someone else's child? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the whole village!"

After Wang Xiaohua's emotions calmed down a bit, he patiently began to explain.

He wasn't explaining from his own perspective, but from Li Xiulan and Wang Zhanggen's perspective.

Because he knew that only by analyzing the pros and cons of this matter from their perspective could he persuade them; otherwise, even eight oxen couldn't pull them back.

Wang Xiaohua continued:

"That old thing is old and muddle-headed, often doing muddle-headed things—you're not unaware of that. But, Mom, you should have your own clear cognition; how can you follow him into being muddle-headed? You're not helping me, you're harming me!"

Li Xiulan hurriedly said:

"Mom was wrong; I'll help you call off this marriage right now."

Li Xiulan hung up the phone, her expression very grim.

She looked up at Li Zhenxing and Luo Jiaxin, her face full of apology.

"Brother Zhenxing, Sister-in-law Jiaxin, Xiao Hua just called me. He said he doesn't agree to this marriage, so, I'm very sorry..."

As soon as Li Xiulan said this, the first to react was not Li Zhenxing and Luo Jiaxin, nor Li Yuncui, but Wang Zhanggen:

"What are you talking about, sorry what? Wang Xiaohua that brat must agree even if he disagrees; what does a bookworm know? This is a marriage fated by destiny—does he want to defy destiny!"

Wang Zhanggen pulled a long face, very forceful, and he also said to Li Zhenxing and Luo Jiaxin:

"In-laws, rest assured, this matter has already been settled; it's impossible to go back on it! If we go back on it now, do I, Wang Zhanggen, not care about my Face anymore?"

Li Zhenxing and Luo Jiaxin both showed embarrassed smiles on their faces.

"It's not the old era anymore; we still have to respect Xiao Hua's opinion. Why not wait until Xiao Hua comes home, and then we can discuss it properly?"

Although Li Zhenxing and Luo Jiaxin felt some disappointment in their hearts, they still remained rational.

Because they both knew that Wang Xiaohua looking down on their daughter was also an understandable thing.

As long as it's a normal man, who would be willing to marry a woman carrying someone else's child?

Anyway, if it were me, Li Zhenxing, I, Li Zhenxing, definitely wouldn't be willing.

However, Wang Zhanggen said decisively:

"I think there's no need to discuss; this matter is settled like this. If Wang Xiaohua that brat dares to disagree, I'll break his limbs and still carry him to the wedding!"

The words Wang Zhanggen spoke were weighty, giving people a feeling that there was no room for doubt.

He was so determined in front of outsiders.

Not only because this was the marriage fate said by Wu Banxian, but also because he couldn't afford to lose this Face!

After all, the marriage was something he actively went door-to-door to propose, and the matter had already been settled; even the day for the banquet had been chosen.

Going back on it now—where would I, Wang Zhanggen, put my face?

"I think we should still wait until Xiao Hua comes back to discuss it."

At this time, Li Xiulan spoke.

Previously, she had always gone along with Wang Zhanggen, but now she was opposing Wang Zhanggen.

Although she was ignorant and had limited cognition, she truly thought of Wang Xiaohua's interests.

Unlike Wang Zhanggen, who always put Face first and had never truly considered others, not even his own son, and had never put himself in others' shoes to think for them.

"What did you say?"

Wang Zhanggen's face immediately dropped.

"I said, wait until Xiao Hua comes back to discuss it."

Li Xiulan's expression was grim; she knew that arguing with Wang Zhanggen now would be very shameful.

But she had already been awakened by Wang Xiaohua; marriage, this kind of thing, indeed couldn't be too casual.

Because marriage is a matter of a lifetime.

Thinking back to when she and Wang Zhanggen married, it was also arranged by their parents; she actually didn't like him that much, and then she just followed her parents' arrangements.

Not long after they married, came the matter of He Dazhu slandering her chastity; she still felt her parents' judgment was right.

But later life proved to her that choosing Wang Zhanggen was also wrong.

Why must one be chosen between He Dazhu and Wang Zhanggen?

If time could flow backward, letting her return to her youth, she would absolutely choose neither.

"What do you mean? Weren't things said well when you came? And this is the marriage fate calculated by Wu Banxian; you don't believe me, do you not even believe Wu Banxian?"

Wang Zhanggen felt Li Xiulan made him lose Face, so now he was very angry.

"Wu Banxian didn't directly say Yun Cui is Xiao Hua's marriage fate!"

Li Xiulan talked back directly.

Wang Zhanggen asked:

"We went to school together, live nearby, and it's in the southeast. Besides Yun Cui, tell me, who else? If not Yun Cui, then who else!"

Li Xiulan was speechless.

Within her understanding, indeed besides Li Yuncui there was no other woman.

However, she knew that her own Xiao Hua did not agree to this marriage arrangement.

Just now when she called Wang Xiaohua, Wang Xiaohua showed anger like never before, which was enough to show how much he opposed this marriage arrangement.

"I don't know who else there is, but I know Xiao Hua is unwilling. Turning back, we'll go find Wu Banxian again and ask him clearly."

Li Xiulan said thus.

"Li Xiulan, you're doing this on purpose to make me lose face, right!"

Wang Zhanggen got angrier the more he spoke.

It looked like they were about to make a scene at someone else's home.

Li Zhenxing hurried over at this time to smooth things over:

"Harmony brings wealth, harmony brings wealth. It's the Spring Festival, everyone should be harmonious. How about this: let's leave this matter at that for now. You all go back first. When Xiao Hua comes back later, we'll continue talking about this matter."

Luo Jiaxin said instead:

"Changgen, Xiulan, you all go back first. We still need to go out for a trip. Let's leave it at that!"

At this late hour, why would they still need to go out?

This was a tactful expulsion order.

After all, having caused such a blunder, Li Zhenxing and Luo Jiaxin, the couple, surely felt displeased in their hearts too.

Just now Li Xiulan and Wang Xiaohua's phone call, Wang Xiaohua's excited speaking voice, they could all hear seven or eight parts of it.

Wang Xiaohua opposed this marriage arrangement so strongly; they knew in their hearts that it definitely couldn't happen.

However, they didn't blame Wang Xiaohua; they blamed Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan for being parents like this.

Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan's behavior was simply both absurd and funny!

Not even asking their own son's opinion beforehand, just running over here to propose marriage like that—did water get into their brains!

Now it's not ancient times; communication is so convenient. Is it really that hard to make a phone call beforehand to ask?

It's laughable that they foolishly discussed it with them for so long!

In the end, it was all for nothing!
