Chapter 1645 - 938: Escape for Now (Part 2)
Liang Linqing runs a hotel in Sha City, and you work in Sha City too, can there be anything more suitable than this? Your dad and mom think, we can’t refuse such a good match just because we’re afraid of gossip.
Danni, given our family’s situation, it’s already a huge blessing for such a family to propose marriage. Your dad and mom only want you to have a good life in the future.
"I said, give me another half a year, just half a year, is that okay?" Tears welled up in Li Xiaoyan’s eyes, "Or do you not have a shred of faith in me?"
"Danni, your dad and mom can wait for half a year, but can Liang Linqing wait?" Mrs. Li anxiously tugged at Li Xiaoyan’s arm, "Listen to your mom, this kind of thing can’t be delayed."
"What if I say it’s not okay?"
"Then... then you’re forcing us into a dead end." Mrs. Li released her daughter’s arm and sat sulking on the bed, banging her head against the wall, "Useless to the point where your daughter can’t find a good family, might as well be dead..."
"Mom, are you trying to push me to my death?" Li Xiaoyan’s tears flowed uncontrollably, "Dad, Mom, if I promise to bring a boyfriend back in half a year, is that okay?"
"Danni, your mom and dad are doing this for your own good." Father Li sighed deeply, "After this year, you’ll be twenty-seven, you really can’t wait any longer.
Listen to your mom and dad, don’t be stubborn, kids born in the countryside like us have to follow the countryside path, no matter how good the city is, ultimately it’s not a place for us to settle.
You might not agree with what dad is saying now, but by the time you do, it’ll probably be too late, Danni, if you’re going to be stubborn about it, whether your mom and dad will still be alive in half a year is uncertain."
"Dad, Mom..." Li Xiaoyan looked at Mrs. Li who was still banging her head against the wall, feeling utterly helpless, "Okay, I agree with you, but I don’t want to marry Liang Linqing. I’ll bring a boyfriend home for New Year, is that alright?"
Mrs. Li suddenly stopped her head-banging motion and stared at her daughter: "There’s just over half a month until New Year, where are you going to find one?"
Li Xiaoyan bit her lower lip and said, "No need to find one, I already have a boyfriend, Er Ni and Xiao Ning have both met him.
Initially, I was planning to spend some time getting to know him better before telling you. Now, it seems there’s no need to wait."
Father Li looked towards his son: "Xiao Ning, have you met your brother-in-law?"
Li Xiaoxian quietly pressed the central lock on the car key, causing the alarm to start chirping.
"The car’s alarm went off, let’s hurry and check it out, this car is nearly a million, if it gets damaged, we can’t afford to pay even if we sell all of us." Li Xiaoxian mumbled as she pulled Li Xiaoyan outside, while Li Xiaoning quickly followed, "I’ll go too, just in case it’s a brat who won’t own up, I can run fast and catch up."
"Let’s go too, hurry up..." Father Li hurriedly got off the bed to put on his shoes, while Mrs. Li’s face turned pale with fear, "Dear, Er Ni said that car is nearly a million, do you think it’s true?"
"I don’t know." Father Li shook his head as he walked out, "Even if it’s not worth that much, if it does get damaged, we can’t afford it either."
"Why did Danni bring such an expensive car back? Sigh, it would be better to bring a son-in-law to show off instead of such a car, sigh..." Mrs. Li sighed all the way out the door, only to see their three children all getting into the car, the eldest daughter busy with something, surrounded by some curious kids, with faces all looking shocked.
"Dad, mom, let’s see if there’s any damage by taking the car for a spin around town." Li Xiaoxian said, turned the wheel, and the car swiftly slid away.
Mrs. Li looked at Father Li in confusion: "Dear, what do the kids mean by this? How can they drive the car if it’s damaged?"
"They’re avoiding us, can’t you tell?" Father Li sighed heavily, then turned back to the yard.
"Otherwise, let’s stick to the original plan, Danni is a filial child, she would surely not watch us die."
"Think it over again." Father Li took a couple of puffs on his cigarette, "Because the children are filial, we need to think even more for them, think about it, what Er Ni said had some merit, even though it sounded mixed up."
"Dear, you don’t really want to go along with Danni, do you?" Mrs. Li’s eyes were filled with worry, "That second son of the Liang family is already twenty-eight, if we directly tell the matchmaker no, they surely won’t wait, and if we say to wait, and Danni can marry him, then all is well, but if not, we’ll lose our reputation.
Moreover, the Liang family is not to be trifled with, sigh, this thing, this kid is really not worry-free, such a family is hard to find even with a lantern..."
