50 -50: Why Choose the Lin Family

Xue Family.

Wang Meihua sat on the hard chair with a sullen face, turning an enamel tumbler back and forth in her hand, while Xue Guohong sat with his legs crossed, shaking them nonchalantly, a look of indifference on his face.

Facing them, Xue Ligang, however, had a face full of joy.

On the table between them, there were two oval bamboo baskets covered with red cloth, filled with some pastries, snacks, and large steamed buns.

“What exactly do you mean by this?” Wang Meihua slammed the enamel tumbler down, “Are we going to a matchmaking meeting or arranging a marriage tomorrow?”

“First the matchmaking, then the arrangement, if Guohong likes her, we will arrange it on the spot, if not, we will keep looking.” Xue Ligang said while looking at his son, “You little brat, once you meet Lin Chuxia tomorrow, you’ll understand why I want you to be engaged to her.” fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Xue Guohong’s lips curled up with a mischievous smile, “Dad, don’t use me as a shield, I have a girlfriend, and you know that.”

“How can Ren Yue compare to Lin Chuxia?”

“Why can’t Ren Yue compare to Lin Chuxia?

Ren Yue’s parents are both teachers, what about Lin Chuxia’s parents?

Ren Yue’s grandparents live in the county, where are Lin Chuxia’s grandparents?

Ren Yue’s family has only this one daughter, and Lin Chuxia’s family…”

Seeing that Wang Meihua was at a loss for words, Xue Ligang quickly chimed in: “Also has only this one daughter.”

“But is that the same?” Wang Meihua glared at her husband with resentment, “Lin Chuxia’s grandparents treat her like merchandise to be sold, while Ren Yue’s grandparents dote on her like a treasure!

Even for Guohong’s future, you can’t let him marry Lin Chuxia!”

“If you don’t understand, then don’t blabber nonsense!” Xue Ligang glared at his wife, “I have my reasons for doing this, you’ll understand in two months whether I’m looking out for Guohong’s best interests.”

“No matter the reason, why don’t you spell it out now?” Wang Meihua’s face was full of mockery, “What I see now is that after all these years, you still can’t forget Zhao Yulan, and since you couldn’t marry her, you’d rather ruin our son’s future just to have him marry her daughter.”

“The matter is settled just like this, you have no right to oppose,” Xue Ligang looked at Xue Guohong, “Go see her tomorrow, and if you’re satisfied, we arrange it then and there, if not, Dad won’t force you, but, you must break things off with Ren Yue.”

“Give me a reason.” Xue Guohong spread his hands nonchalantly, “Although I haven’t reached the point where I must marry Ren Yue, Dad, you’re suddenly arranging a girlfriend for me, you should at least give me an explanation, right?”

“She is Zhang Guojun’s wife’s niece.” Xue Ligang’s expression turned serious, “Listen to Dad, I won’t harm you.

There are some things I can’t tell you now, but look, Dad promises you, if you are not satisfied after the engagement, you can still break it off, and we can just forget about the betrothal gifts.”

Xue Guohong nodded decisively: “Okay, I’ll listen to you.

Anything else?”

Xue Ligang sized up his son: “Go get a tidy haircut, and that’s it.”

Xue Guohong smirked and tossed his hair: “Dad doesn’t appreciate style, this is the most fashionable three-to-seven split nowadays.”

“Shave it a bit shorter, Lin Baohe is old-fashioned, he definitely won’t like this look.”

“He’s got the gall to dislike Guohong?” Wang Meihua laughed exaggeratedly, “He’d be lucky if he could stop grinning to one side and come back to his senses, and now he’s picky?”

Xue Guohong stood up: “You two can keep arguing, I’m heading out.”

“I’ve handled all the paperwork for your job entry.

Settle down and stop fooling around outside.”

“`

“I understand.”

Xue Guohong’s voice drifted in from far away, followed by the clanging of a bicycle…

Xue Ligang sighed, “This kid, when will he ever act like an adult?

Or maybe, it’ll be better after he’s married?”

“Xue Ligang, tell me the truth…” With her son out of sight, Wang Meihua no longer held back, “Are you doing this for the older one, or for the younger one?”

“Wang Meihua, don’t think of others as dirty as yourself.

Guohong is my son, do you really think I’d mess around when finding him a wife?

I’ve already said, Lin Chuxia is Zhang Guojun’s niece, and Zhang Guojun’s other niece married into the Qiang Family.

That’s all I’ll say for now; you’ll understand what I mean when the time comes.”

“Can’t you just give it to me straight since I can’t go spreading rumors anyway?”

“You…” Xue Ligang sighed helplessly, “What I want now is for others to mistakenly believe that I’m still pining for Zhao Yulan, and that’s why I’m having my son marry Lin Chuxia, get it?”

“I don’t get it.” Wang Meihua looked puzzled, she was even more confused now, wasn’t she?

“The Ren Family is finished, and the Qiang Family…” Xue Ligang pointed upward, “is settled too.

I’ve circled around, and the only connection that could be of use is the Lin Family.

But now, no one will think along those lines.

This is killing two birds with one stone.

You of little sense but long hair, do you understand now?”

“Are you saying?” Wang Meihua’s eyes glistened as she pointed upward, “You might have a chance?”

“I didn’t say anything.” Xue Ligang tapped his finger on the table, “I didn’t say anything, okay!”

“So petty!” Wang Meihua chuckled and sidled up to him, “Why didn’t you just make it clear to me sooner?

These last few days have left me so upset that I couldn’t eat or sleep well.”

Xue Ligang gave her a look: “You deserve it!

Having married me for so many years, don’t you know what kind of person I am?

Would I ruin my son’s future for a girl like that?”

Xue Guohong rode his bike around for a while and decided, after all to get his hair cut neatly as his father had requested.

It wasn’t so much that he was particularly obedient, but the recent commotion had piqued his curiosity.

First, his father had told him that he had picked out a potential marriage partner for him, Lin Chuxia from the Lin Baohe family in Dalin Village, saying that although the girl might not be good at household chores, she had the advantage of being pretty.

Then there was an endless stream of matchmakers knocking on his door, all knowing he had a girlfriend yet still brazenly showing up, forcibly bringing the girl along for him to meet.

First was the one named Liu Meifeng, who looked just so-so.

Her sister even treated her like a fairy.

Then there was the one named Zhao Qiyan.

My goodness, with such a small stature, she dared to show up offering herself?

He didn’t even need to speak up; his mother chased her out with a broom straight away.

After that came the tall ones, the short ones, the fat ones, the thin ones…

every type imaginable.

It was said that these girls were brought together by a few families to have him consider them, with the purpose of stopping Lin Chuxia from marrying into the Xue family.

Upon hearing this news, he, who initially didn’t care, started to change his mind.

What was so special about this girl that made people so wary of her marrying into the Xue family?

It has to be said, kid, you’re looking at it wrong.

It’s not wariness, it’s unwillingness!

“Xue Guohong, why are you avoiding me?” Just as he came out of the barbershop, he was intercepted by an angry girl.

Xue Guohong looked genuinely surprised: “Yue Yue, how did you know I was missing you?

I was just about to look for you when you showed up, it’s quite magical…” He swaggered and flicked his head, “Just got a haircut, looks sharp, doesn’t it?”
