“However, you do need to go to the county to get some information about what you’re worried about,” Chu Zhiwen said worriedly.
Landlord Wang’s family was not an easy family to get along with.
Chu Zhiwen and Madam Liu did not like to cause trouble. Because of this, they were somewhat frustrated.
However, the couple discussed this matter and decided not to tell anyone else. When Chu Lin came back at night and heard about this matter, he wanted to talk to Madam Liu about it, but she refused.
Chu Lin and Madam Zhang sat on the bed.
“This time, Mother is really angry,” Chu Lin said directly.
“I didn’t mean to make Mother angry. You know Qingxiang’s personality. She’s always been stubborn since she was young. She has to do her best in everything she learns. I’ve already confirmed it three times. She wants to marry Song Lu. Song Lu insisted on marrying Qingxiang in front of the Third Young Miss of the Wang family. Tell me, for the sake of Qingxiang’s reputation, how can she cancel the marriage?” Madam Zhang was also worried, especially after hearing what Madam Liu said in the afternoon. She was very uneasy and anxious. She did not want her daughter to suffer, but she could not find a reason to refute Madam Liu’s words.
“It’s not that you can’t. It’s just that you and your daughter don’t want to,” Chu Lin said with a frown.
Madam Zhang was angered by his attitude. She was embarrassed to refute her mother-in-law. After all, she did not have enough confidence.
However, her own man was not on her side. Madam Zhang instantly felt wronged.
She tugged at the clothes in front of her chest and said angrily, “Don’t you think that I want my daughter to be well? As a father, you’re so relaxed. You don’t care about anything. I’m the only one worried and I’m even blamed by you. Do you think it’s easy for me?”
“Didn’t Mother say that it might not be a bad thing to cancel this marriage?” Chu Lin did not want to quarrel with his wife. After all, she was doing this for the good of the child. He just did not agree with Madam Zhang and Qingxiang’s choice. After all, they were a family. He respected Madam Zhang very much and did not refute her words. As a father, he was also responsible for this.
“How is it not a bad thing? If the engagement is broken off, there would be fewer people to choose from in the future. Do you want Qingxiang marry an ordinary farmer and suffer for the rest of her life?”
“I’m just an ordinary farmer,” Chu Lin retorted disapprovingly. “Did I make you and your daughter suffer?”
Madam Zhang opened her mouth. “How is that the same? I definitely hope that my daughter will marry someone better. If she ends up worse than me, I’ll really cry.”
“In the end, you and Qingxiang’s thoughts are to not let Song Lu, this scholar, off, right?” Chu Lin did not stand on ceremony and asked directly.
Madam Zhang was pointed out by her husband and her face was a little embarrassed. “It’s Qingxiang’s marriage. Why should we give up such a good marriage?”
Chu Lin saw that her attitude was still so persistent. Although he did not know what his mother said, with his understanding of his mother, she would definitely realize that Madam Zhang and Qingxiang wanted to climb up the social ladder.
Madam Zhang still had this attitude. He knew that persuading her was useless.
While he was helpless, he had also thought things through. “Since you and Qingxiang have already decided, then let’s continue with the marriage. You don’t have to worry anymore.”
After saying that, Chu Lin lay on the bed and closed his eyes to sleep.
Madam Zhang stretched out her hand and pushed him. “Don’t sleep. The marriage will naturally continue, but there’s the matter of the betrothal money.”
“Even my mother can’t do anything about this. Do you think I can?” Chu Lin did not even bat an eyelid. He turned around with his back facing Madam Zhang. Obviously, he did not want to say anything else. After all, after understanding the conclusion of this matter, he pondered in his heart. The only thing he could do for his daughter was to talk to Song Lu personally so that he could treat his daughter sincerely in the future..
