Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"Xiao Hua, you must give me an explanation!"

Li Yuncui entered with red eyes, immediately confronting him and demanding answers.

Wang Xiaohua was left speechless.

This woman, is she sick?

What explanation could he give Li Yuncui?

Her belly wasn't made big by him.

But he also knew that at this moment he couldn't directly confront her, because doing so would only intensify the conflict and not solve the problem well.

"Yuncui, what's wrong?"

Wang Xiaohua asked patiently.

The only fortunate thing was that Li Yuncui didn't come to cause trouble while Li Zhongxian, Zhao Xintong, and Li Jianjia were still there, but came after they had left.

If they had come to kick the nose onto the face while they were still there, Wang Xiaohua really wouldn't have known how to handle it.

Perhaps Li Yuncui herself knew deep down that she was in the wrong on this matter, and she herself felt guilty, so she didn't directly clash with Li Jianjia and the others.

"You heartless scoundrel!"

Li Yuncui burst into tears and began accusing him as soon as she spoke.

Wang Xiaohua smiled helplessly and looked at Li Zhenxing and Luo Jiaxin behind Li Yuncui.

"Uncle Zhenxing, Aunt Jiaxin, what's wrong?"

Li Zhenxing looked helpless, pulling Li Yuncui's arm and said:

"Daughter, stop making a scene, let's go back."

Luo Jiaxin looked full of apology:

"Sorry, Yuncui is in a bad mood, please understand."

It turned out that when Wang Xiaohua brought Li Jianjia and Li Jianjia's parents back to their hometown, Wang Changgen and Li Xiulan welcomed them at the Village Entrance, set off firecrackers, and the firecracker sounds caught the attention of Li Yuncui, who was taking a walk not far away.

Li Yuncui saw Wang Xiaohua bringing another woman home and couldn't help but feel sad and shed tears. After returning home, the more she thought about it, the angrier she got, so she decided to come find Wang Xiaohua to get to the bottom of it.

Who knew if it was because of pregnancy hormones, or because she was originally emotionally unstable.

Anyway, she was very agitated now.

As soon as she opened her mouth, she demanded Wang Xiaohua give her an explanation.

"Xiao Hua, did you ever love me?"

Li Yuncui looked at Wang Xiaohua with tears in her eyes and demanded answers.

Wang Xiaohua felt like crying and laughing inside.

He had to admit that Li Yuncui had given Wang Xiaohua an unforgettable beautiful memory of his childhood.

But that was who knows how many years ago, and back then they just played together innocently, how could it involve love?

Besides, the two of them hadn't had any contact for so many years.

Li Yuncui asking this question was simply ridiculous.

"It seems we haven't had any contact for many years, right?"

Wang Xiaohua didn't answer directly, but said this sentence.

The meaning of his words was very clear.

The two of them were no longer people of the same world long ago, not even having any contact, so how could there be talk of love?

However, Li Yuncui couldn't understand Wang Xiaohua's meaning.

"Don't change the subject, give me a direct answer!"

Li Yuncui was aggressive and clearly lacked comprehension.

Wang Xiaohua was very speechless.

He could only sigh:

"Fine, I'll answer directly. We were just Deskmates in Primary School for a few years, and after that we hardly contacted each other. How could I have ever loved you? Yuncui, I understand how you feel being abandoned by another man, but adults have to take responsibility for their own choices. This matter can't all be blamed on me, can it?"

Li Yuncui was not giving up and questioned again:

"Then why did you still keep the Tape Recorder I gave you?"

Wang Xiaohua's head was swollen.

Keeping that Tape Recorder could prove it was love?

What kind of logic was this?

Who hasn't kept a few things they played with and used in childhood?

That was simply just childhood memories!

But Wang Xiaohua knew that explaining it this way to Li Yuncui would obviously not convince her.

So he simply stopped explaining and said:

"Did I keep your Tape Recorder? I told you, I don't even remember you giving me a Tape Recorder. That thing I probably threw away long ago."

Li Yuncui said:

"But your parents said you've kept it well all along!"

Wang Xiaohua turned back and glared at Wang Changgen:

"Did I keep that tape recorder? How would I know?"

Wang Xiaohua desperately made eyes at Wang Zhanggen.

He hoped this old man wouldn't cause any more trouble for him right now.

Fortunately, although Wang Zhanggen had a bad temper and a stubborn nature, he still had some sense.

At this moment he was surely on his own youngest son's side.

After all, Wu Banxian had calculated that his own youngest son's marriage fate was Li Jianjia, not Li Yuncui.

And now that he had met Li Jianjia and Li Jianjia's parents, he clearly felt Li Jianjia was far better than Li Yuncui, whether in personal conditions or family conditions—Li Yuncui simply couldn't compare to Li Jianjia.

So Wang Zhanggen hurriedly said:

"Yuncui, it's all a misunderstanding—Xiao Hua didn't keep your tape recorder; we remembered wrong!"

Li Xiulan also hurriedly chimed in:

"Right, right, right, we found a tape recorder and thought it was Xiao Hua's, never expecting it was his second brother's!"

Then she hurriedly apologized:

"We're truly embarrassed—yesterday was our fault; we shouldn't have taken the initiative to go to your house."

Li Yuncui coldly laughed:

"Hmph, your whole family are all snobs—see another woman arrive in a luxury car and you kick me aside!"

Wang Xiaohua was speechless to the extreme:

"Big Sister, I've never been with you at all—where does 'kicking you aside' come from?"

But Li Yuncui questioned him:

"Then what about last night when your parents came to my house to propose marriage—what's that supposed to be?"

Wang Xiaohua couldn't help but laugh; this matter also left him speechless!

"This matter is just a misunderstanding—they went to your house to propose, and I don't know anything about it either; they didn't ask my opinion at all, it can't represent my wishes. For this misunderstanding, the trouble it's caused you, I now formally apologize to you. Is that enough?"

"Sorry, this matter is my parents' fault! I didn't communicate well with them, and I bear some responsibility—I'm truly sorry!"

Wang Xiaohua sincerely apologized to Li Yuncui.

Seeing that Wang Xiaohua had not a shred of affection for her, Li Yuncui felt even sadder.

"Daughter, let's go back; don't make a scene here."

Li Zhenxing hurriedly pulled and tugged at Li Yuncui.

He felt this whole matter was shameful.

But Li Yuncui wouldn't leave; she shook off Li Zhenxing's hand:

"Don't pull me—I'm not leaving!"

Li Yuncui started making a scene and acting unreasonably:

"I don't care—anyway, your parents came to propose, and the date was even set, so you have to take responsibility for me!"

Wang Zhanggen was immediately stunned speechless.

He simply couldn't say a word.

"Daughter, don't make a scene—let's go back, okay?"

Li Zhenxing pulled and tugged at Li Yuncui again.

But Li Yuncui still wouldn't leave.

She knew she was making a scene and acting unreasonably, but she understood even more clearly that if she didn't seize this opportunity to make Wang Zhanggen take responsibility, she'd never find another man better than Wang Zhanggen in the future.

So she had to fight for it.

Most fatal of all, she did something so absurd, and at this moment, her mother Luo Jiaxin actually chose to support her.

Luo Jiaxin said to Li Zhenxing:

"Don't pull Yuncui—Yuncui is fighting for her own happiness; what's wrong with that?"

Li Zhenxing was furious:

"Yuncui has become like this—it's all because you spoiled her!"

Li Yuncui was indeed spoiled by her mother Luo Jiaxin.

When Li Yuncui was young, Li Zhenxing wanted to discipline her, but Luo Jiaxin often argued against him, siding with Li Yuncui in front of him and spoiling her, which created the current depraved and unreasonable Li Yuncui.

"What good does blaming me do now? Our daughter's marriage is the important thing!"

Last night after Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan left, Luo Jiaxin had also thought maybe they should just let this matter go.

Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan did something absurd—she couldn't very well do something absurd too, could she?

Their own daughter indeed wasn't good enough for Wang Zhanggen, and most importantly, Wang Zhanggen himself wasn't willing; a melon twisted off the vine isn't sweet.

But later she thought, whether the melon is sweet or not doesn't matter at all—the important thing is that their daughter needs a guarantee for the future.

So if shamelessly clinging to Wang Zhanggen could actually work, it wouldn't be a bad outcome.

Even if she couldn't cling to him, making the Wang Family pay some spiritual compensation would still be a small profit.

As for being laughed at by other villagers in Shanggou Village, she wouldn't care.

Anyway, her family had already bought a house in the County Town and rarely returned to Shanggou Village—why bother with the village gossip?

Never mind whether it's absurd or not—first grab the benefits, then talk.

"Zhanggen, Xiulan, last night it was the two of you who actively came to propose. We already agreed to hold the wedding banquet on the ninth day of the second lunar month. You can't go back on your word—if you do, you'll have to compensate us for our losses!"

Luo Jiaxin was no longer as agreeable as last night; she started kicking the nose onto the face and acting unreasonably.

For her own daughter, she was willing to go all out, not caring about anything anymore.
