"If so, that's great. The two of us are also old, and there are so many shops in the family, if Miss Lu marries at that time, she will be able to help Wei'er take care of it together. ”
Liu Dashan glanced at Jiang, who was sitting next to him and seemed to be smiling, and then looked at everyone, showing a very satisfied smile.
"Although the little girl is literate, she is uncertain, and she is far less stable than Liu Gongzi......"
Lu Yishou also smiled and spoke.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was joyful, and it was not good to keep the road and say no directly. But after this round of chatting, he strengthened his determination not to agree to this family business no matter what.
Having been doing business outside for decades, Lu Yishou is used to listening to the scene at the wine table, these words are good, but he can't believe them. That's what Liu Dashan said today. It is true that the Liu family has a great family in Qingkou Town, but Lu Qian is not suitable to marry into such a family. His Lu family's family background is also okay, and there is no need to send his daughter to someone else's house to be angry.
Liu Yu sat there, but he was uncomfortable.
Miss Liu Jiasan was chattering next to him, he just responded casually, and he didn't know what the other party was talking about.
His attention was all on Lu Qian.
Liu Yu felt inexplicably sad. Today's situation, even if he is stupid, he understands that this is a blind date for his cousin Liu Wei, and the woman is Lu Qian.
Sure enough, his grandmother said that the Lu family really didn't look down on their Liu family. Otherwise, the whole family would not have come to Qingkou Town to meet his cousin Liu Wei today.
Liu Yu didn't mean to blame the Lu family for such behavior, who caused such a thing to happen to their family, and he didn't come to the door to propose marriage for a long time. Suddenly faced with such a scene, he was just a little difficult to accept.
Liu Yu didn't like his aunt's family in Qingkou Town at all. Although his aunt is not bad to him.
It's not because of jealousy, this dislike has been going on for a long time.
Although his aunt's family has unlimited scenery on the surface, the family has a big business, and the shops on the entire street in Qingkou Town are theirs. But some things in private are far from being as rosy as they seem.
At first, Liu Yu didn't know, but he only knew that his mother had a sister who married into Qingkou Town. The family is very wealthy. Every year during the Chinese New Year, his aunt would come to their house. Take some gifts from the town with you, and secretly give Liu Yu a small red envelope when you leave.
These actions made Liu Yu feel that his aunt was not only rich but also very good. Time passed like this, and Liu Yu grew up slowly, but even after his mother passed away. This aunt still came to Liu's house for the New Year. Chat casually. Eat a meal before leaving.
But Liu Yu gradually found that something was wrong, and every time her aunt came, she stayed in the bedroom with her grandmother for a period of time, not knowing what she was talking about. At first, Liu Yu thought it was just a casual chat, but one time the door of the bedroom was not closed tightly, and Liu Yu saw that his grandmother He was stuffing a large bag of silver tickets for his aunt.
Liu Yu was still young at the time, and even if he saw such a picture, he couldn't think of anything. It wasn't until one day later at the dinner table that Liu Yu's grandfather, Mr. Liu, asked why the family had a lot less money, and his grandmother He replied hesitantly that it was lent to the aunt in Qingkou Town.
It was at this time that Liu Yu learned that his aunt in Qingkou Town was not as beautiful as it seemed. The shop at home can indeed earn a lot of money in the early years, but because the eldest uncle Liu Dashan is a gambler, although the name of the shop on the street of Qingkou Town is still the Liu family, it has long been mortgaged to the bank, and the rent received every year is also all used to pay off the interest on gambling debts, and there is nothing left in the family. At present, the source of livelihood of the entire Liu family is mainly maintained by a few acres of dry land in the countryside and continuous borrowing. But the Liu family is used to enjoying happiness, even if the family's economy has collapsed now, they still invite a lot of servants and maids, and the whole family lives a rich life, and the daily expenses are amazing.
Liu Yu's family also borrowed a lot of money from this aunt, not only did not pay back a penny, but it continued. His father Liu Dasheng wanted to cut off contact with the family, but Liu Yu's grandmother He just liked this niece and refused to say anything.
When it comes to the kinship between the two families, Liu Yu feels a little complicated.
His grandmother He was an orphan since she was a child, and was adopted by a family surnamed Jiang in Niutou Village, and there were many brothers and sisters in the Jiang family, but only the second child, that is, He's second brother, was the best for her. He is a grateful person, and she remembers these friendships. After the second brother of the Jiang family got married, in addition to his son, he also had two daughters. And these two daughters are Liu Yu's mother-in-law and the Jiang family in this Qingkou Town.
He loves these two nieces very much. After Liu Yu's mother passed away because of tuberculosis, He always felt sorry for the Jiang family in his heart, so he gave all his love to this aunt in Qingkou Town.
Liu Yu's family's money has always been in the hands of his grandmother He, so even his father Liu Dasheng doesn't know how much money He has given Jiang over the years.
His eldest cousin Liu Wei already had a family affair before, and the woman was engaged to Liu Wei when she was a teenager, but she didn't get married until last year. But not long after getting married, the Liu family divorced the woman on the grounds that she did not abide by women's morals.
Liu Wei doesn't have a fixed occupation, but he has some shares in a teahouse in Qingkou Town, and he is busy every day, and Liu Yu doesn't know what he's busy with.
Liu Yu doesn't know how his aunt's family got in touch with the Lu family, but this is by no means as simple as marrying Lu Qian, the Liu family doesn't have a penny now, maybe they are waiting for Lu Qian's rich dowry to live.
Thinking of this, Liu Yu was very remorseful in his heart, he knew that he would not listen to his grandmother's words, if he had rushed to Lujiazhuang yesterday to explain to Lu Qian, maybe they would not have come to Qingkou Town today. But when he thought that he didn't even figure out what Lu Qian was thinking in his heart, Liu Yu immediately looked like a cabbage beaten by frost. Instantly wilted.
"Brother Lu, how is it, are you still satisfied with our family?"
The dinner has come to an end, and the dishes on the table have basically been swept away.
Liu Dashan looked at Lu Yishou and asked.
Today's pomp is so big, and his son is a talent, he thinks that there should be no problem with this family business.
"Brother Liu's family has a big business, this is far beyond our Lu family, so talking about marriage matching, I'm afraid the Lu family has climbed ......"
Lu Yishou said it very tactfully, but the meaning of his words couldn't be clearer - he didn't agree with this family business.
"Brother Lu, don't say that. Marriage is a children's business. If you have mutual interest, the family business is not a big deal. ”
Liu Dashan thought that Lu Yishou was polite, so he said it more bluntly.
"The little girl is still young, Brother Liu, I can't ...... this matter urgently."
Lu Yishou smiled.
"Brother Lu. Otherwise, so be it. Anyway, marriage is a children's business. We old men can't take care of it, so let's ask the children if they want to. Then we don't have anything to say. ”
Liu Dashan also heard the meaning of Lu Yishou's words, which not only surprised him, but also made his face a little unbearable. I spent so much today, and I specially invited so many relatives and friends to come, but it was not for everyone to eat white food. This family affair between his son and the Lu family must be decided, and the dowry must be received no matter what.
"Son, are you willing to marry this Miss Lu family?"
Liu Dashan turned his head directly and asked Liu Wei, his eyes full of love.
There was a commotion around, and the two tables next door were still fighting for wine, but the table where Lu Qian was located was quiet and uncomfortable.
"Daddy...... This...... Tell me to answer like this? ”
Liu Wei was asked like this, and his face was a little embarrassed.
"Manly man, answer truthfully, if you don't have this courage, then how can you become the pillar of the Liu family, and how can I hand over the shop to you?"
Liu Dashan said solemnly.
Hearing the shop, Jiang Ping's eyes flashed.
She thinks that the Liu family can be considered, there are many family businesses, and Liu Dashan is not bad, and Liu Wei is a talent. But when she is outside, she must not ignore Lu Yishou's face, since he said that he disagrees, he should not be disobedient, and most importantly, Liu Yu is also present, facing him, Jiang Ping also feels a little indebted. So she didn't talk to her all the time, and only let Lu Yishou call the shots.
"Miss Lu, would you like to ...... with me Getting married? ”
Liu Wei turned his head to look at Lu Qian, his face was full of shyness, but his expression was very sincere.
Liu Yu felt that he was about to be moved by his eldest cousin's expression. But he didn't want Lu Qian to agree from the bottom of his heart, this is a point of no return. It doesn't matter if Lu Qian doesn't have a good impression of herself, and it doesn't matter if she doesn't marry herself, but this is a lifelong thing, no matter who you marry, you need to think carefully before deciding.
"Brother Yu, open your mouth and give you raspberry ......"
Miss Liu Jiasan said and handed a cleaned raspberry to Liu Yu's mouth, her eyes full of anticipation waiting for him to open her mouth.
"I'll just do it myself."
Liu Yu's face was full of embarrassment, and he reached out to get the raspberry.
"No, you just have to open your mouth......"
Miss Liu Jiasan's delicate persistence.
"I have no fame, and I don't have any outstanding features, but I'm still young, if I am lucky enough to marry you, I will definitely work hard, and I will never let you suffer a little bit, and I will never let you cry......"
On the other side of the table, Liu Wei was trying to show Lu Qian his determination.
Lu Qian didn't have any special feelings for Liu Wei, all her attention was on Liu Yu's side, at this time, Miss Liu Jiasan was handing Liu Yu the red raspberry, and Liu Yu didn't refuse, and opened her mouth directly to bite it.
This made Lu Qian feel angry.
She wanted to rush over, grabbed Liu Yu's collar fiercely, and asked him what the hell was going on. But she didn't do it in the end, and she didn't even frown her brow more.
