It's past seven o'clock.
The things here are done, even if there are still many things to discuss and discuss later, at least Dong Xuebin's task today is completed. Dong Xuebin, who was so "drunk" just now that he almost slept at Fang's house, suddenly became energetic. He talked to Old Master Fang and said a few words to Fang Shuiling's parents. His face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he didn't care at all about the weird looks when others looked at him.
Aren't you drunk?
You wake up too quickly, don't you? The Power of Time and Wealth 1953
Several younger members of the Fang family rolled their eyes. Some people didn't understand why grandpa suddenly changed his mind, so they all went to Old Master Fang to ask.
"Grandpa..."
"Would you like to think about it again?"
"How can my sister marry into their family?"
Old Master Fang answered them nothing.
Dong Xuebin took a look and said, "Grandpa Fang, elders, I'll go ahead and let Xiao Ran and the others discuss the engagement with my uncle and aunt. Hey, I don't think it's time to talk about it again. Good things come sooner rather than later. Otherwise, let's do it tomorrow. I'll ask my uncle and aunt to show their respect at noon tomorrow. You two can book it anywhere. When I get back, I will tell my uncle and the others that we can have a dinner together. What do you guys think? "Dong Xuebin is on the outpost this time. To put it bluntly, he is here to test the attitude and intention of the Fang family. It is not a true marriage proposal. The child is not here and both parents are not here. How can we propose marriage? The rest of the matter is beyond Dong Xuebin's ability.
The third couple said nothing, but looked at Old Master Fang.
Old Master Fang said directly for them, "Okay, tomorrow at noon."
"That's alright, haha, I'm withdrawing." Dong Xuebin turned around and walked out. He just took a step but turned around and said, "Everyone, stay. Stay. Don't see her off. We are all family members soon. Don't be so polite. I'll visit you again when I have the chance. I'm sorry to bother you today."
Stay?
Who gave you the paralysis?
No one of them moved, and they had no intention of sending Dong Xuebin out. Who would have thought that this guy actually shouted for everyone to stay. After he said this, it seemed inappropriate not to send him off.
In the end, a junior from the Fang family stepped forward to see him off. "Can I find you a driver?"
Dong Xuebin waved his hand and said, "No, haha, this little drink is nothing, I can drive two hundred miles."
A few minutes later, Dong Xuebin got into his car. He left the villa in a hurry.
As soon as Dong Xuebin left, the living room of the Fang family suddenly became much cleaner. Everyone felt that the air in the room was fresh. They finally sent this grandson away, God of Plague? Everyone finally knows why Dong Xuebin has such a name. Your mother is really the god of plague.
The other side.
Old Master Xie home. The Power of Time and Wealth 1953
Like the Fang family, the elders and juniors of the Xie Family have also gathered at Old Master's house since the morning. Except for Xie Guobang and Xie Guojian, who had something to do in the afternoon and went out for dinner before coming back, the others had been sitting at home, chatting about politics and their parents' affairs.
"Oh. It's past seven o'clock." Ci Lifen frowned.
Xie Ran was restless and asked, "Brother-in-law Why haven't you come back yet?"
Xie Jing blinked and said, "How about giving Brother-in-law a call and asking?"
"No, it's better not to ask." Xie Ran pondered, "Brother-in-law is still not back at this point, so he must have eaten at Xiao Ling's house, and things should be going well. Otherwise, Brother-in-law wouldn't be staying there to eat, huh. That's probably the case, and I called Brother-in-law at that time, and Brother-in-law also said that everything went well. Xiao Ling's family even kept Brother-in-law at home for tea, and Brother-in-law was talking about TV series with Xiao Ling's Mother."
Fang Shuiling said doubtfully, "No way? My mother never watches TV series."
Han Jing exposed Dong Xuebin with a smile, "You can just listen to Xiao Bin's words. How can this kid's words be accurate?" It's the mother-in-law who understands Dong Xuebin.
Ring ring ring.
Fang Shuiling There was a noise in the pocket.
"Look who's calling." Xie Ran was even more anxious than she was.
Fang Shuiling quickly took out the phone and said, "Ah, it's my mother."
"Take that." Xie Ran looked slightly nervous.
Fang Shuiling looked at the other elders in the living room. Although no one looked at her, she still walked away a little and went out of the door before answering the phone in the villa yard.
"Mom..." Fang Shuiling said timidly.
Xiao Ling's Mother said lukewarmly, "What's wrong? Didn't you have enough food with them? Your voice is so soft?"
Fang Shuiling said hurriedly, "Aren't I worried? Mom, I... what happened over there? My dad and the others..."
Xiao Ling's Mother snorted, "It's true that a girl doesn't stay in the right place. As she grows up, her wings become stiffer, and her elbows turn outward, right? You said how many times has your mother told you that you still don't listen to me and insist on going out with that Xie Ran? You just want to piss me and your dad off to death!"
Fang Shuiling pretended to be pitiful and said, "No, Mom, didn't I listen to you on everything before? I would take whatever university you asked me to take, I would take a master's degree, and I would take a doctor's degree. I would listen to you and my dad in terms of majors. I have never disobeyed you two, right? But this time is different, mom, this is a lifelong event, and this time, I must listen to myself!" The more he spoke, the firmer his tone became.
Xiao Ling's Mother stopped talking, "Oh."
"Mom, I'm begging you." Fang Shuiling said, "Just talk to my family, especially my grandpa, who will definitely take your words seriously."
Xiao Ling's Mother said, "Come on, there is no need for me to say it. Xie Ran That Brother-in-law has said enough. I am confused. You said Xie Huilan. I have also seen it. How could such an elegant and beautiful girl find such a husband? But... this boy is really capable."
Fang Shuiling said in shock, "Mom, what do you mean..." The Power of Time and Wealth 1953
Xiao Ling's Mother said helplessly, "Your family has agreed to the matter between you and Xiao Ran."
"Ah? Is it true, mom? Don't lie to me?" Fang Shuiling's eyes were red, "Where is my grandpa? Did my grandpa agree?"
Xiao Ling's Mother said, "It was decided by your grandfather."
"What's going on? Isn't the family unhappy?" Fang Shuiling asked in disbelief.
Xiao Ling's Mother paused, "Xie Ran He Brother-in-law came today. Originally, the tone of the house was set, and he was not allowed in at all, but this kid didn't know how to do it. Ming Ming The outside was sealed very tightly., but he came in unnoticed and refused to leave. We didn't see him off, but he just pretended not to understand and kept laughing and chatting with us. He stayed for tea and dinner. In the end, guess what? He actually wanted to stay the night. I couldn't say anything."
Fang Shuiling said happily, "Brother Dong is just like that, it's so fun, what about mom? What happens next?"
"Then Second Brother's daughter-in-law became anxious. You also know your second aunt's temper, so she yelled at Dong Xuebin, saying that unless pie falls from the sky, she will never agree to you and Xie Ran What happened to E, it turned out that Dong Xuebin didn't know how to deceive him. He snapped his fingers and a piece of pie actually fell from the sky, almost hitting your second aunt..." Xiao Ling's Mother told her the same thing, "That's about it. Your sister-in-law also got angry when she was in the house, saying that if something happens to you because of the family's decision, don't blame her for turning against her, um, There are also political considerations and various reasons, so Old Master agreed to let your father and I meet with Xie Ran and his parents tomorrow to discuss the engagement and betrothal gift."
"Tomorrow?" Fang Shuiling said in surprise.
Xiao Ling's Mother said, "Well, tomorrow."
Fang Shuiling almost jumped up, "Mom, I love you to death!"
"Damn girl, anyway, even if Old Master agreed, I still don't think this is right. I just don't like that guy Xie Ran, and you will definitely be angry after you marry into their family. If you don't believe it, just wait. Then don't complain to your mother, huh." Old Master spoke, and Xiao Ling's Mother also understood that the matter was irreversible and could only accept it. Accept it, but they will definitely not let Xie Family go with the bride price. If it is someone else's family, it doesn't matter how much the bride price is, they are not short of this, but Xie Family is different. They will definitely open their mouths. If Xie Family doesn't agree because of this, that's the best. Anyway, they don't want Xiao Ling to marry her.
Inside the villa.
Fang Shuiling is back.
"How is it?" Xie Ran stood up.
Xie Guoliang They all looked over.
I saw Fang Shuiling with a smile on his face, "My family agreed, and my grandfather also agreed. My parents said that tomorrow the two families will have a dinner together, and then we will talk... about that and other things." The girl was a little more reserved. When it came to this, Fang Shuiling also blushed a little.
Xie Ran slapped his thigh suddenly, "Great!"
Ci Lifen smiled and said, "Our family is going to have some happy events."
Xie Guoliang nodded and said, "Xiao Ran, you and Xiao Ling go upstairs and talk to Old Master."
"Hey." Xie Ran took Fang Shuiling's hand and hurried upstairs.
Han Jing also said with emotion, "Okay, that's great. It makes the two children happy, haha."
Xie Ran's mother Xia Yanzhen has been silent. She probably has thoughts in her heart just like Xiao Ling's Mother and is not too willing.
Ten minutes later.
The whole family gathered in the living room and talked about it.
As soon as the door outside opened, Dong Xuebin finally came back, "Dad, mom, uncle, aunt, Second Uncle Second aunt, fortunately I have lived up to my fate, Xiao Ling there is no problem at home.." But looking at the beaming faces of Xie Ran and Fang Shuiling, Dong Xuebin also smiled, "Oh, you know it? That's okay."
Han Jing smiled and said, "This is a good job."
Dong Xuebin said modestly, "Xiao Ling's family is sensible and respects the children's decision. It has nothing to do with me."
Xie Hao chuckled and said, "Let me tell you, who is Brother-in-law? What problems can there be if Brother-in-law takes action? If you still don't believe me, look, look!"
Dong Xuebin said, "You kid, please stop playing for me, haha."
