Chapter 208: Controversy
"You've decided to get married? When did it happen? Why didn't you consult with us?! ”
It was no different from what Li Xueyan expected, after they took Duan Yunfei's parents over and told them about it, they really reacted like this. So Li Xueyan took half a step back quite presciently, avoiding being frightened by Xie Linyu's exclamation.
Not only Xie Linyu, but Duan Tianlan also looked shocked. However, his shocking behavior was not as ...... as Xie Linyu Stir.
"yes, yes, why do you have such expressions? Didn't you keep urging us to get married before, why are you unhappy now that we're going to get married? Li Xueyan asked idly.
"Why are we not happy about this? We just, just were so surprised. Xie Linyu immediately retorted.
As early as after going through all kinds of difficulties and then being taken in by Li Xueyan and helped by her, their attitude towards Li Xueyan had already changed a lot. Even if they didn't know that Xiao Nuan was their own granddaughter at the beginning, they had already acquiesced in the relationship between Duan Yunfei and Li Xueyan in their hearts.
Unlike the strong opposition at the beginning, at that time, they only thought about being the right person, thinking that only a lady like Qiao Linger was worthy of their son. And Li Xueyan? No matter how you look at it, it can't compare to Qiao Ling'er.
But it was Li Xueyan who told them that it was not so important to be the right person.
What's more, they also had times when they were down, and when they were down, Li Xueyan didn't have any intention of looking down on them. When Li Xueyan had nothing, she was disgusted by them. When they had nothing, Li Xueyan reached out to them.
And the Qiao family, who is the right person in their hearts, is the one who stabbed them the deepest in the back.
"Shouldn't you be surprised? Could it be that you can't look down on me again now that you're making a comeback? Li Xueyan still spoke in a casual tone.
When these words came out, Duan Tianlan's face turned red and white for a while.
"We don't mean that, even if you take revenge for what happened in the beginning, it should be enough, right?" Duan Tianlan's tone was a little unkind.
"Enough is enough." Li Xueyan replied with a smile.
She actually didn't hold a grudge that much, and now she knew what Duan Tianlan and Xie Linyu were thinking in their hearts. But the old couple's reaction is really funny sometimes, so she can't help but tease them.
"Let's get down to business. When did you make the decision to get married? Why didn't you discuss such a big matter with us, and just decided it yourself? Duan Tianlan was dissatisfied with this.
Although he had already admitted Li Xueyan as a daughter-in-law in his heart, he did not mean to let the young people make their own decisions about everything. In his opinion, even if the words of the matchmaker of their parents are useless for them, they can't decide for themselves when it comes to getting married, right?
He and Xie Linyu and Zhou Xinghua are elders, so they should have a good discussion with them, right?
"What's so negotiable about that? It was me who married her, not you. Duan Yunfei said lightly beside him.
Duan Tianlan's face darkened, "Shut up!" ”
"I think he's right, after all, getting married is a matter for the two of us, and it has nothing to do with anyone else, right? Now I'll tell you, just let you remember to come to have a wedding wine when the time comes, and you don't need any help, how convenient, why don't you look unhappy? Li Xueyan couldn't understand what they meant.
Duan Tianlan felt that Li Xueyan was good at everything, except for liking to be angry with him.
Xie Linyu keenly discovered the hidden meaning in Li Xueyan's words, "What do you mean by this, will you not live in Duan Mansion when you get married in the future?" ”
Li Xueyan asked inexplicably, "Why do I want to live in Duanfu?" ”
"What, why? Do you still need to ask such a simple reason as marrying a husband? You haven't gotten married yet, so it doesn't matter where you live, but when you get married, what are you still living here? Xie Linyu almost wanted to take Li Xueyan's head apart to see what kind of structure it was, and why it was so different from them.
As Xie Linyu guessed, Li Xueyan's answer was so unsatisfactory to her.
"But...... Whether it's the day of marriage or where you live, this is a matter between me and Duan Yunfei, right? If I have to add other people, it should be my mother and Xiao Nuan's opinions, after all, they live with us. It's not like you have nowhere to live now, why do you even have to interfere with this? Li Xueyan asked with a serious face.
Because her tone was too serious, what she said was very ...... People don't know how to refute it. Looking at his father's and mother's deflated expressions, Duan Yunfei laughed out loud very unjustly.
In exchange for the white eyes of the Duan family's parents and Li Xueyan's condemnation, "I'm talking about business, can I not make trouble?" ”
Duan Yunfei was very cooperative, "Okay, good." ”
Zhou Xinghua has been listening to the side, and she will never interfere in these things. It's true that she is Li Xueyan's mother, but she knows what her daughter is capable of, and she can't help with many things. But she felt that it was necessary to say something about this matter, after all, Li Xueyan's idea, let alone the Duan family's parents, even she herself was a little unacceptable.
"Yan'er, can you listen to your mother?"
Li Xueyan was a little surprised by Zhou Xinghua's sudden opening. But since Zhou Xinghua has something to say, she naturally won't refuse. On the contrary, Zhou Xinghua's willingness to give opinions can only show that she is becoming more and more integrated into the family, and whether she feels guilty or inferior, she does not continue to be the main ingredient in Zhou Xinghua's feelings for her.
That's a good thing.
After Zhou Xinghua spoke, the two members of the Duan family stopped talking and turned their heads to look at Zhou Xinghua. Li Xueyan also looked at it and said with a smile: "If my mother wants to say anything, just say it." ”
If it was before, if she was looked at like this by so many people, Zhou Xinghua would definitely not dare to say anything. It's okay in her own home, but if it's in the Li family, she is stared at like this by a group of people from the Li family, she is probably so scared that she doesn't even dare to speak.
I don't know why, today Zhou Xinghua originally mustered up the courage to interject when they were talking, but when she really spoke, she was not so afraid.
"I, I just wanted to say, wouldn't that be good? Now that the marriage is all the girl's family and the husband lives after getting married, do you still plan to continue to live here? Zhou Xinghua said worriedly.
Seeing that Li Xueyan didn't agree with it, Zhou Xinghua hurriedly said: "That's what I said, if you don't like to hear it, I'll ......."
"No, don't worry, mother, I don't mean I don't like to hear it."
Li Xueyan was clear, it turned out that Zhou Xinghua was worried about this. If it was just that the Duan family was dissatisfied with this matter, Li Xueyan felt that she had no need to explain, after all, it was Duan Yunfei's parents, and it would be good to leave it to him. But since Zhou Xinghua also put it forward, she felt that she needed to say her opinion.
"Look, you just said you were going to ask their opinions, and now that she does, do you have to reconsider?" Xie Linyu finally had a smile on his face.
Li Xueyan said helplessly: "I have to reconsider." But mother, tell me first, do you think I should live in the past because you want me to live in the past, or do you think I should live in the past? ”
Zhou Xinghua was a little confused, as if she didn't understand what Li Xueyan meant by this question.
Li Xueyan had no choice but to explain again: "If my mother doesn't want to live with me and wants me to live there, then you live here." Or if my mother wants to live with me, she wants me to live in the past. If my mother thinks that everyone else lives in her husband's house when she gets married, so she thinks that I should live in my husband's house too, she thinks that I should live in the past. ”
Before Li Xueyan finished speaking, Zhou Xinghua wanted to explain. She didn't have any intention of not wanting to live with Li Xueyan, on the contrary, she had thought about this issue a long time ago.
If Li Xueyan gets married one day in the future, then she can't continue to bother Li Xueyan, although Yu Li can't say it, but in her heart, Zhou Xinghua doesn't want such a thing to happen.
So when she knew that Li Xueyan had the intention of marrying Duan Yunfei, Zhou Xinghua was still depressed for a while, but she was careful not to let Li Xueyan find out.
She hopes to live with her daughter all the time, but she hopes that Li Xueyan can have a good home and be happy. In this way, even if they want to separate later, Zhou Xinghua has nothing to complain about.
"You don't have to be separated, when you get married, your mother-in-law won't be able to live in our house." Xie Linyu hurriedly said, since Li Xueyan was asking Zhou Xinghua's opinion at this time, she must follow what she wanted. What's more, they have lived here for a while, and they still like Zhou Xinghua very much.
Their Duan family is so big, there is no problem at all to live with one more person.
So the key issue now is that Li Xueyan has to be persuaded to live after getting married, which is the right thing.
After Zhou Xinghua heard Xie Linyu speak, she hurriedly explained to Li Xueyan: "I don't mean that I don't want to live with you, of course I want to live with you all the time, but it's not suitable for me to live there after you get married, so ......"
"That's why I won't live there." Li Xueyan said with a smile.
Li Xueyan said this, which made Zhou Xinghua feel that Li Xueyan was reluctant to go to Duan's house with Duan Yunfei because she felt the same as taking care of her. But Zhou Xinghua didn't want this, she wanted to be Li Xueyan's helper, not a burden to her.
"I didn't mean that, I just think that since you are going to marry Duan Yunfei, you should ......"
"So my mother's answer to the question just now is that I don't want to live in the past, but I think I should live in the past, is that what I mean?" Li Xueyan still asked patiently.
Zhou Xinghua was stunned, and after thinking about Li Xueyan's words carefully, it seemed that this was indeed the case. She had no choice but to nod, "Yes." ”
Li Xueyan smiled and turned her head to look at the two members of the Duan family, "You also heard it, my mother means that I should live in the past, not want me to live in the past." ”
Duan Tianlan asked, "Anyway, don't they all want you to live in the past, the meaning is the same, right?" ”
"No, no, no, there's a big difference. For example, if I think that the son of a rich family like you marries a daughter-in-law, you should give a bride price of 50,000 taels like everyone else, which is what I think you should do. But now I want to ask you for a bride price of 100,000 yuan, and that's what I want to do, do you understand? Li Xueyan casually gave an example.
