Huang Hui saw the signal from her mother-in-law. She pretended to help her mother-in-law sit down first. Then invite Qianlong to come in and talk first. Qianlong looked at Cheng Baihua. She nodded for him to come in and talk first. However, today she will not let things turn out the same as in her previous life.
After everyone is seated Huang Hui immediately started talking about her father-in-law's death from unknown causes.
" Mr. Qian, you see that our family suddenly lacks a pillar. Can we postpone your marriage with Third Sister for another year or two? We lost a father-in-law. If we lose our third sibling, the family will definitely suffer a lot ."
" I have been waiting for Bai Hua for a long time. This time I have to be rude and refuse. Also, I've already informed the factory and my coworkers about the wedding next month. How can you cancel it now? Since our wedding is less than two weeks away ,
" What are you waiting for? They've only been dating for a few years and they're already getting married. I've seen other people date for many years before getting married and having a family. My children must be grateful to me first. Especially now that my husband is dead. "Can I not rely on you at all? "
" Mom, please be reasonable. A wedding that has already been scheduled doesn't mean that you can just cancel it if you want to . The two of us have been preparing for this for months. "
" Don't call me mom!!! If you can't postpone it, then don't dress up. I will find another man to marry into the house instead of you. Just men, why are they so hard to find? My daughter has to stay with me until the family gets settled! "
" You can't say that. Bai Hua and I have been together for a long time. My aunt suddenly thought of finding another man for my boyfriend like this. Do you think I will accept this? And another thing, why did your second aunt's daughter get married and leave? Then why can't my third daughter, my girlfriend, marry? Who is really unreasonable in this situation ?"
" Isn't it too much for you to say that? Anyway, my sister hasn't married you yet. Our family still has the right to let her marry anyone ."
" That's right. They are not married yet. The funeral for my father-in-law has not yet been arranged. At least after the funeral, the daughter must mourn for at least three years according to tradition. Then how can they get married? "
Cheng Baihua, who was silent, listened to everyone's discussions. The longer Qianlong's expression became, the more irritated he became. Cheng Baihua was afraid that he would not be able to control his anger, so he grabbed his arm and whispered to him to calm down. Then Cheng Baihua thought of saying it softly to let the three people in front of her know that she was no longer the previous Cheng Baihua. This time, she won't let these people lock her up for another three years like last time. She will fight for herself and her future husband in this life.
But the three of them kept getting louder and louder, and they kept making all sorts of ridiculous excuses, so much so that the neighbors were already gathering at the front door. They heard a commotion early in the morning and faintly heard that Father Cheng had died. They planned to come help with the funeral but found themselves arguing about Cheng Baihua's wedding.
The neighbors were no less interested in this matter than the news of Father Cheng's death. Because they had sympathy for Cheng Baihua who had such a family from the beginning. Now that her father is dead, no one will talk about her. They knew that Father Cheng had never been cruel to Cheng Baihua. But it didn't help her in any way either. When he has spoken once and the others still do not stop, he will be silent. It has been like this ever since Cheng Baihua was born. Until the neighbors could only feel sorry for the third daughter of the Cheng family. The size of the food that a neighbor once gave Cheng Baihua out of pity. People in the house still come and snatch it away every time. Until the neighbors dared not give Cheng Baihua anything anymore.
Qianlong, who had heard Cheng Baihua's whisper, He took a deep breath but didn't stop talking about the reasons for marrying someone in his future wife's family. He will marry her on the appointed date. If they don't agree then lock her up. He will inform the police.
The three of them, upon hearing that Qianlong was going to call the police, could only scold Cheng Baihua for being ungrateful. Including all sorts of shameless denials of gratitude since her birth. Some of the older neighbors could not stand it. They took the liberty of walking into Cheng's house and telling the truth that they had seen since Cheng Baihua was born.
The more Qianlong listened to what his neighbor told him, the darker his face became with anger. Can the people in front of him be called family? Why did they raise Cheng Baihua like this? He no longer wonders why his girlfriend looks so tired every day. Even though he treated her to lunch at noon. In fact, when she came back Does she still have to work in various houses, supporting the people who are called family like this? Do they know how much clerical work there is each day? How dare they still treat his future wife like a slave?
After nearly an hour of listening to stories from many neighbors, Qianlong, who saw the three people still scolding Cheng Baihua, could not hold back any longer. He immediately turned to his neighbors who had previously shared their stories for help. Made Jin Lingling, Cheng Xiaolong and Wang Hui sweat. Everything the neighbors said was true. But they still insist that it was Cheng Baihua's gratitude that he was willing to do these tasks. They didn't force it at all.
After receiving confirmation from the neighbors Qianlong then turned to the three of them and told them that he would have the police handle this matter later. But today they lost a family member. He won't let the police come today. But he will take Cheng Baihua to the factory for leave and take care of her from now until the wedding day himself.
