Saying that, Uncle He stopped again, looked at me for a bit, then said to my dad, âLiu-laodi, do you still remember that summer night, under the old Chinese scholar tree, the promise we made...â
The moment Uncle He said this, my dad momentarily blanked, then immediately thought back to the promise of having their male and female children getting married! If it was half a year ago, my dad might have agreed with it without any hesitation. Yet, right now, his own son already have two wives, He Xiyuan also know this, if he agreed, isnât that just troubling their daughter! Thus he showed an expression of awkwardness, agreeing with it wasnât good, refusing wasnât either.
Seeing my dad like that, his expression darkened and said with a hint of self-mockery, âLittle bro Liu, Iâm just casually mentioning it since the topic is here, donât pay too much attention to it! I also know that my familyâs environment is extremely different from your family, letting Xiao Xi marry Liu Lei is truly wronging him a little, ai, itâs all my fault, pretend like I didnât say anything, didnât say anything!â
Hearing that, He Xiyuanâs expression was also full of shock! This was probably the first time she has heard that she actually has an engagement, but after the shock, she said shyly with a blush, âDad, what are you saying!â Then she ran off.
âOld He, the situation isnât like that, itâs all because of my disappointing pervert son, heâs so young, yet he already found two girlfriends! It really pisses me off! Those two girls are dutiful people, I donât feel right to separate them... Old He, donât have such a shocked expression, you didnât hear it wrong, he found two girlfriends at the same time! Brat, what are you blanking out for, is what Iâm saying correct!â My dad slapped the back of my head and said.
I could only nod awkwardly, my dad was too unparticular, he actually revealed my secret to outsiders!
Uncle He blanked quite a while after hearing that, then after a while, he understood. The expression on his face was rather troubled, their son is handsome, and rich, from Old Liuâs words, although he was complaining about his son making two girlfriends, his expression didnât have any hint of blaming him, he (Old Liu) was clearly very satisfied with the two girls. When he (Uncle He) remembered that the two girls are from the city, their family background would definitely wasnât terrible!
What does his family count as, they merely had walls on all fourth sides of the house, even his money to get treated was borrowed from the other villagers, if he forcefully pushed Xiao Xi to them, isnât that giving them someone to hold them back!
If they accept Xiao Xi, they naturally have to support his (Old Heâs) entire family, isnât that causing trouble then! It was better to extinguish that thought quickly.
Hearing Old Liuâs meaning was to not to mention this again, or else since Liu Lei already have two girlfriends, would one more matter! Thus he said, âOld Liu, donât worry, I understand!â
Seeing Uncle Heâs sour expression, how could I not know what he was thinking! He was definitely hurt by my dadâs dumb words!
Thus, I quickly said, âUncle He, I completely did not know that I have such an engagement on me! Yet, itâs like this already, I have two girlfriends that deeply love me, I canât toss them away to marry He Xiyuan, if I was really so irresponsible, I think you wouldnât marry Xiyuan to me either!â
What I said was the truth, even thought I was someone that has been reborn, I didnât know that I have an engagement, because in my previous life, He Xiyuan was still unknown and had never appeared.
Saying that, I noticed Uncle Heâs expression relaxing a little, therefore I continued, âFurthermore, I already have two girlfriends, although this sounds very outrageous, it is the truth, I think you donât want He Xiyuan to come and be my third wife right? Whatâs more, what era is this, this sort of outdated arranged marriage is not talked about anymore, itâs all about free love right now, He Xiyuan and I have no relationship basis, if you make her follow me, I have no issues with it, since I gained a lot with such a huge beauty, but isnât that troubling Xiyuan!â
Hearing that, Uncle Heâs face revealed a smile, but he started liking this boy even more, seeing his humble look, he likes him no matter how he looks, if it wasnât for his âtrouble XIyuanâ, he (Uncle He) might really have the thought of push Xiao Xi over to be his third wife.
However, this was only momentary, thinking about it was already funny, if he really did that, there would definitely be someone standing out and criticizing him for coveting the riches of other and sending his daughter to them to be their mistress... it should be second mistress!
âUncle He, since Xiao Xi has already recognized my parents as ganba and ganma, then I should also admit Uncle He and Auntie as ganba and ganma!â Seeing Uncle Heâs mood improved, I let out a sigh of relief and raised my own idea, âYou are jealous of my dad having a son like me right, this way, Iâll be your son as well! Although I canât be your son-in-law, but gan-erzi is so much closer than son-in-law!â
When I said this, both Uncle He and my dad momentarily blanked, unsure of what I was thinking. However, my dad immediately understood afterwards, he had just put Old He in a bad spot, after his own son does this, everything is made up!
Thus he said happily, âYeah, Old He! Liu Lei is right, a son-in-law is only half a son, yet this makes Liu Lei a whole son for you! Xiyuan already admitted me as her ganba, I also prepared to get Liu Lei to admit you guys as his gan-parents, I didnât think that this kid would raise it first!â
Hearing that I suddenly wanted to admit him as my gan-parent, Uncle He didnât really know what to do!
It was natural for Xiao Xi to admit them as her gan-parents, their family condition is better than her own for who knows how many times, this would allow them to care for Xiao Xi a little in the future!
Yet their son is so talented, what good would it be for him to admit him, an old man with two crippled legs, as a gan-parent! However, if he doesnât agree, heâd appear hypocritical, as if he was getting full of himself, if he agreed, them it would be like he covet their riches.
Seeing Uncle He being so hesitant, I beat the iron while itâs hot and said, âUncle He canât still be angry with me about Xiyuanâs marriage right?â
âHow could I! I canât even be happy in time! Randomly getting such an excellent son, how could I not be happy!â Uncle He said.
âGanba! Please accept the sonâs prostrate!â With that, I kneeled onto the floor, and kowtowed.
âAiya, what is this! Get up quickly, get up quickly, the floorâs dirty! Look, my leg doesnât allow me to get off bed, Old Liu, quickly make him get up!â Uncle He hurriedly say.
I answered, and then stood up. The three of us were in a harmonious atmosphere, and temporarily forgot about all unhappy things.
