When she saw Liu Zhimo, Li Qingling"s pet.i.te face involuntarily flushed red.She rolled her eyes at him and coquettishly said, "Don"t you have to go to school today?" Those who were supposed to go to the academy actually showed up at home. It was obvious that they were skipping school.
Liu Zhimo"s heart softened. Looking at her eyes, it was as if he had brought water, causing her heartbeat to speed up. On such an important day, of course he couldn"t leave, "Well... The matchmaker should have told you already, right? "
When he thought that Li Qingling would soon marry him, he could not stop the smile on his face.
Li Qingling cleared his throat and nodded slightly. Un, he said that the matchmaker had already told her, and she had also handed the eight characters to the matchmaker, waiting for her to measure the date.
Liu Zhimo slowly walked to Li Qingling"s side and looked around. Seeing that there was no one around, he gathered his courage and extended his hand to hold Li Qingling"s hand, "I"ve waited for so long. His long-held wish would soon be fulfilled.
Raising her eyes to meet his, she could see the joy in his eyes. His joy had moved her heart, so she pursed her lips into a smile. "So you"ve always wanted to wait for me to grow up and marry me?"
Hearing her teasing, his ears weren"t red this time, and his heartbeat didn"t quicken. He very calmly nodded his head, saying that he had indeed been waiting for her to grow up.
He originally thought that he would only be responsible for Li Qingling in this life, but he never thought that he would be so fond of her.
It was very difficult to find someone who would be happy in his lifetime. Fortunately, he was lucky enough to meet her.
This was all because of Father. If not for Father helping him settle this marriage, he would not have been able to marry Li Qingling.
Another day, he would definitely go to his father"s grave and kowtow twice, thanking his father for his wise actions.
Seeing him admit it so honestly, Li Qingling"s face blushed even more.
She had thought that he would be the same as before, shy to the point of running away after being teased by her!
Unexpectedly, his skin was thick. Not only did he not run away after being mocked by her, he even admitted it openly.
This really did not resemble his style!
"Then... "Then rest well at home, I"ll be going out." After Li Qingling finished this sentence, he turned and walked out.
After she walked out of the courtyard, she stretched out her hand to pat her crimson face.
I really don"t know why her skin is so thin. Liu Zhimo did not blush. Instead, she blushed.
She took in a deep breath, waited for the heat on her face to subside, and then walked towards chicken farm with large strides.
However, the moment she walked to the chicken farm, she didn"t know how the people there received the news, but when they saw her, they all opened their mouths to congratulate her.
"Boss, when is your good day fixed? Don"t forget to tell us in advance that we can help out. "
If Li Qingling hadn"t brought them to become rich, they wouldn"t have been able to live such a good life.
In their hearts, Li Qingling was simply their second parent.
Li Qingling did not expect the villagers to hear the news so quickly. She pinched his fingers, enduring the embarra.s.sment in his heart, and laughed, "I still don"t know about this, but after the date is decided, I will tell you in advance. If you are free, come and drink a cup of wedding wine."
"I"m free, I"m free. Boss, it"s your wedding day, we have to go."
Li Qingling was afraid that they would continue teasing her, so she said a few words to them and quickly left.
She felt that it would be better to go home, at least to face Liu Zhimo alone at home.
He didn"t know if this news was spread by the matchmaker or not, but the villagers found out so quickly.
His speed was comparable to the speed of light!
Her heart was filled with sorrow as she quickly ran home.
When she reached home, she immediately saw her grandmother Mrs. Liu.
She stopped and called out to her grandma.
She doesn"t have any good impression of Mrs. Liu? However, due to filial piety, she had no choice but to call for help.
Mrs. Liu raised her head and saw Li Qingling. She gave an unhappy grunt, "I heard that you"re going to be married to Liu Zhimo. Is that true?"
She had heard this from the villagers, or else she would still be buried deep in her bones.
Li Qingling didn"t even tell her about such an important matter, he simply didn"t place her, a grandmother, in his eyes.
If she hadn"t thought about those betrothal gifts, she would not have come to find Li Qingling.
"Hmm …" Li Qingling glanced at Mrs. Liu, and knew that Mrs. Liu was unhappy in her heart. She did not think of coaxing him, "Grandmother, can you come in first?" He didn"t want others to see him as a joke.
Li Qingling took the lead and walked into the courtyard, and immediately entered the living room.
Mrs. Liu snorted coldly, raised her leg and followed after, once sshe sat down in the hall, he asked Li Qingling, "Your parents are no longer here, but your grandfather and I are still here, why don"t you come and discuss it with us?" There were really no rules at all.
She lifted her hands to pour a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Mrs. Liu. I don"t know much about marriage, and I want to learn from my grandma as well. "
She wanted to see how thick Mrs. Liu"s skin was, and see what words she could say.
If it wasn"t too much, she might still agree. If it was too much, then don"t blame her for not giving her face.
Hearing that, Mrs. Liu was stunned, she never thought that Li Qingling would be so easy to talk to. On the way here, she had prepared a lot of excuses to curse Li Qingling.
He never thought that Li Qingling would have such a good att.i.tude and come to discuss with her.
She raised the teacup in front of her and poured the water directly into her stomach like a cow drinking water.
She wiped the water on the corner of her mouth with her sleeve, then looked at Li Qingling and said, "This guy wants to give us a betrothal gift, I wonder how many gifts does Liu Zhimo want to give us at home?" As long as those betrothal gifts were in her hands and she wanted to take them out, it would be impossible.
Li Qingling had earned a lot of money in the past few years, so he reckoned that the betrothal gifts that Liu Zhimo offered should not be too little.
Raising an eyebrow, Li Qingling shook his head honestly, saying that she didn"t know.
"How could you not know? Didn"t you discuss this with him?" Mrs. Liu"s voice suddenly rose as she looked at Li Qingling with disbelief. She felt that Li Qingling was lying to her, "Which family doesn"t need to accept betrothal gifts to marry their daughter? Go to the village and ask which family doesn"t accept betrothal gifts. "
This was the chance for her to earn a sum of silver. No matter what she said, she wouldn"t let it go.
If she let go of this opportunity, she would definitely regret it greatly.
Li Qingling looked at Mrs. Liu with a smile that was not a smile, "Grandma, don"t you know that our family is a little special? We"ve always lived together, and it"s always the same whether we get a betrothal gift or not. " She really did not know where Mrs. Liu had gotten her to be so thick-skinned to be able to make her say such words.
Mrs. Liu"s heart jumped at Li Qingling"s gaze. She quietly took a deep breath and stabilized her emotions.
She definitely couldn"t let Li Qinglin see through her plans. If she saw through her plans, then all her efforts would be for naught.
She forced out a smile, and spoke with sincerity, "Xiao Ling, you can"t be blamed for this. Your parents pa.s.sed away too early, and no one taught you these things." She reached out and pulled Li Qingling"s hand, gently patting the back of her hand, like a benevolent grandmother, "This betrothal gift, the man must get it, if the man does not give out the betrothal gift, the woman will be mocked for her entire life. Grandma does not want you to be looked down upon, so discuss this properly with Liu Zhimo, and make sure he gives out the betrothal gift, understand?"
Li Qingling was holding onto Mrs. Liu"s hand, causing gooseb.u.mps to rise all over her body. She naturally pulled her hand away, lifted up the teacup in front of her, and took a sip of tea.
After she put down the teacup, she looked at Mrs. Liu and sighed: "Grandmother, you should know that Zhi Moge has been studying the entire time. Where would he get the money to get a betrothal gift?"
In order to obtain her betrothal gift, Mrs. Liu had truly put in a lot of effort.
"Aren"t yours his? "You"ve been living together, so how can you care so much about it?" All these years of dealing with Li Qingling, she had experienced that it was even harder to get rid of him than to ascend to the heavens.
Thus, she thought of taking advantage of this opportunity to obediently take out the betrothal gift money.
"Xiao Ling, think about it. If Liu Zhimo does not take out the betrothal gift, the villagers will laugh at him. He will become a great old master in the future, how can they criticize him? "Right?"
To be able to make Mrs. Liu think of such a step, it would truly be difficult for her.
Li Qingling almost clapped for her.
"Then... Hearing grandma"s words, this betrothal gift must definitely be given out. "
Seeing that Li Qingling seemed to have loosened his grip, Mrs. Liu was happy in her heart. Her face revealed a true smile, "That must come out. If you don"t bring out the betrothal gift, both you and Liu Zhimo will be mocked by others. That will be very bad for you guys in the future!" She was afraid that Li Qingling would go back on his words again, so she continued: "Grandmother has really thought about all of you with all her heart. You"re not my granddaughter, so it"s impossible for me to say all this to you."
Hearing that, Li Qingling was moved, "Grandmother is still the best. If it was someone else, they would not have said so much to me." She suppressed the cold snort in her heart, and smiled as he asked Mrs. Liu, "Grandma, we live together. If he were to give us the betrothal gift, would he directly take a stroll around the village, and then bring him back to our home?"
"How can that be?" Mrs. Liu panicked when she heard it, but when she saw Li Qingling"s suspicious look, she forced a smile: "I"m saying, this is against the rules."
"Then Grandma, what do you think we should do?"
The fish took the bait.
The smile on Mrs. Liu"s face became wider, "Your parents are gone, your grandfather and I are still here, so of course the betrothal gift has to be given in front of our eyes." She once again pulled Li Qingling"s hand and said, "Your grandfather and I will definitely marry you off."
