If Li Qingling knew how to do it, even if she missed out on a bit of silver, she would not scheme against his betrothal gift.
If you want to blame someone, blame Li Qingling himself.
Hearing Mrs. Liu's words, Old Li closed her eyes and silently smoked his smoke.
His originally somewhat resolute heart was shaken by what Mrs. Liu had said.
Li Laifu looked at Old Li's expression and felt that there was hope. He extended his leg and kicked Mrs. Liu, who quickly walked forward to sit beside Old Li again and softened his tone: "Old man, we can only have Fu Cheng as our son. We really cannot watch him beat him up forever, right? I still want to hug two more grandsons! "
In her heart, only Li Laifu's sons and daughters were her biological grandchildren. She had never placed Li Qingling's third brother or sister in her heart.
She had longed for her son to marry another wife and have two more grandchildren for her to carry.
It was because of this that she was able to find a way to marry that girl from the Huang family back.
Old Li glanced at Mrs. Liu, sucked in a long mouthful of smoke, and said while covering his face, "Then I'll borrow some silver from Xiao Ling. He wasn't so thick-skinned as to misappropriate his granddaughter's betrothal gift.
After all these years, he had some understanding of Li Qingling, she was not someone who was easily manipulated.
If he knew that they had misappropriated her betrothal gift, how could he not cause trouble?
By then, it would be their family that would lose face again.
"No way …" As soon as Old Li finished speaking, he retorted loudly, "We've borrowed the money, do we not need to pay it back? Ah? If you don't have to return it, then borrow it! "
If she wanted to borrow money from someone else, why would she even think about using Li Qingling's betrothal gift?
This old man really couldn't understand her painstaking efforts at all.
He didn't even think about who she was doing this for.
Old Li was extremely annoyed by Mrs. Liu. He knocked the pipe on the table and raised his head to look at Mrs. Liu coldly, "Aren't you trying to steal Xiao Ling's betrothal gift?"
Although Mrs. Liu did this for her son, he really didn't approve of her actions.
"You … You … You think I want this? If it wasn't for this family, if it wasn't for my son, would I have been so greedy? " Mrs. Liu started crying as if she was wronged. She had truly been hurt in her heart by Old Li, "I've been married to you for dozens of years, and I haven't even enjoyed a good day. I've tried my best to control everything for this family, and now I'm being scolded like this by you.
Li Laifu saw the chance and quickly walked to Mrs. Liu's side and sat down. He lightly patted her back and said guiltily: "Mother, don't cry, it's my fault, I made you suffer." After he finished speaking, he raised his head to look at Old Li, "Father, don't scold me anymore. "It's because I'm incapable and have no money to get married."
Seeing the mother and son crying one after the other in depression, Old Li once again let out a deep sigh.
His heart also ached for his eldest son, and wanted him to marry a wife again. But the words Mrs. Liu said, he was really …
Forget it, let's compromise once more for the sake of his son!
"Enough, don't cry anymore. Tell me what happened to the betrothal gift?"
Hearing that, Mrs. Liu immediately stopped, she immediately extended her hand and wiped her tears, and quickly explained everything to him. In the end, she looked at Old Li eagerly, to see how he would react.
Old Li glanced at Mrs. Liu. Presumably, Mrs. Liu had thought this through so thoroughly that she came here to tell him. Otherwise, how could she say it so fluently?
"It's not like you don't know Xiao Ling's temper. It's difficult for you to get the betrothal gift from her …"
Li Qingling was not an idiot, how could he be tricked so easily?
If she really had no brains, she wouldn't be able to support her share of the family business.
Mrs. Liu was too naive.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Mrs. Liu asked Old Li, "Or do you want to inform the village head and have the village head come out to persuade Xiao Ling?"
If the village chief showed up, Li Qingling would probably listen to them obediently.
She couldn't possibly refute the Village Head's words, right?
Seeing that Old Li did not say anything, Mrs. Liu continued to persuade him, "Old man, think about it, the n.o.ble and his wife are no longer here, only us few relatives are left, if we do not help her control it, how can we? "Speak properly to the Village Chief. He will also agree with our actions."
Old Li put down the cigarette in his hand, stood up and patted his pants, then said indifferently: "You guys wait at home, I'll go discuss it with the village head." With that, he walked out with large strides.
When he left, Mrs. Liu and Li Laifu started laughing. They knew that as long as they could grind Old Li down, Old Li would definitely agree.
His heart was not so hard.
Old Li did not know about the plans Liu Master and Li Laifu had, he walked towards the Village Chief's house with his hands behind his back.
When the village chief saw that Old Li had come to find him, he was a little surprised.
Old Li was standing opposite the village chief, clearing his throat, "Fourth brother, I came here just to tell you about Xiao Ling's marriage." When he said this, he felt a little uncomfortable. After all, it was truly a disgrace for him to speak of this matter.
But for the sake of his son, he had no choice but to say it.
"Xiao Ling's marriage? What happened to Xiao Ling's marriage? "
The Village Chief's gaze towards Old Li became even more uncomfortable. He pinched the corner of his clothes and laughed, "Fourth brother, it's like this, my son and daughter-in-law are no longer around, I'm Xiao Ling's closest kin. I should help her manage her marriage." Saying that, he let out a faint sigh, "But if I were to tell Xiao Ling directly like this, I'm afraid she would misunderstand, and I want Fourth Bro to use you as a middleman to help me speak."
The village chief looked fixedly at Old Li, after a while, he finally nodded his head in satisfaction: "It's been so long, you finally did one thing right." The things that happened in Old Lee previously, he really did not have eyes for it. If he was Li Qingling, he would not have treated Old Li and the others well!
Old Li's face was filled with shame at what the village chief had said, "Does this mean that Fourth Brother has agreed to it?" If the Village Chief was here, Xiao Ling probably wouldn't doubt him.
"Alright, since you want to help Xiao Ling organize the wedding, then I'll help you talk about it!"
The Village Chief did not think too highly of Old Li, he thought that Old Li was sincerely going to arrange the wedding ceremony for him.
What he did not know was that Old Li had the thought of seizing Li Qingling's betrothal gift.
"Then it's really thanks to you, Fourth Brother."
The village chief held onto the table with one hand and slowly stood up. He glanced at Old Li and said, "Don't thank me for now, I'm just going to help you speak. Whether you succeed or not, will depend on Xiao Ling's decision."
Old Li nodded his head as if he was enlightened.
The Village Chief and Old Li went to look for Li Qingling and coincidentally, Li Qingling happened to run into them at the entrance of the courtyard just as he was about to go out.
"Cun Zhangyeye, Grandfather, why are you two here?" Li Qingling guessed that they might have come for her marriage. Other than that, she couldn't think of anything else that would allow them to come together.
The village chief saw Li Qingling and laughed so hard that his teeth could no longer be seen. The huge change that had happened in the village in the past few years was all because of Li Qingling.
He sincerely thanked Li Qingling from the bottom of his heart.
"Girl, are you preparing to go out? Were we here by chance? "
Li Qingling was very respectful to the village chief, she smiled and shook his head, saying, "No problem, I'll go sideways and invite them in to take a seat."
"Cun Zhangyeye, what are you looking for me for?"
The village chief took a sip of tea and exhaled in satisfaction. He put down the teacup, looked at Li Qingling, and said: "I heard that the good news about you and He Mo is about to come, is the date set?"
They really came for this.
Li Qingling said that he had not set a date yet, he just gave him the name 'Birthday' to the matchmaker, so that the matchmaker could calculate it for him.
Time flies. In the blink of an eye, you and He Mo are about to get married. The Village Chief's voice was filled with emotion. The child is so old, and he is also so old.
As long as he lived, he would rest in peace after seeing the villagers live a good life.
One had to thank Li Qingling for all of these.
Li Qingling did not know how to respond to that. She pursed his lips and smiled, waiting for the village chief's next words.
The village chief looked at Li Qingling benevolently and sighed a little more with her before turning to the main topic, "Xiao Ling, do you have any plans for the marriage?" If not for the fact that the n.o.ble was no longer with his wife, he would not have directly asked Li Qingling about this matter.
Finally he got to the point, the smile on Li Qingling's face did not waver, and she humbly told the village chief that she was not very knowledgeable in this area, and that she needed to ask the village head for guidance.
The village chief glanced at Old Li, who was silently sipping his tea. He helplessly curled his lips, looked at Li Qingling, and said, "Logically speaking, this should have been something your parents did in the first place. It's just that your parents are no longer around, so this matter should fall to your grandparents. In his family, there was no branch family. The marriage of his son, grandson, and granddaughter was something that was hosted by him.
However, Li Qingling had separated with Old Li and the others, the situation was different from his house, he had to ask for Li Qingling's opinion, and hear her opinion.
Li Qingling looked at Old Li in the blink of an eye and harrumphed coldly in his heart. He didn't think that he would find the village head as a lobbyist, and if she refused the village head, it would be equivalent to insulting the village head.
"Cun Zhangyeye, I feel a little bad to have my grandfather and grandmother give me my dowry!"
She had originally thought that if Old Li knew about Mrs. Liu's matter, she would ask him to stop her.
