noon.
Inside the villa.
The matter here has almost been discussed, and the general idea of the family has been basically conveyed to Dong Xuebin. Dong Xuebin digested it himself and roughly understood it. Even though Xie Ran's parents, Xie Guoliang and Xia Yanzhen, looked unhappy, But in fact, he should still be willing to see this marriage happen. If the Xie family and the Fang family get married, Xie Ran will definitely get some help from the Fang family in the future. Even if there is no help, even if the Fang family doesn't help, As long as you are not doing a disservice, you are helping. Xie Ran is the leader of the third generation of the Xie family. Although his wings are not full now and he is still honing and developing, he will definitely become the core of the Xie family in a few years or more. character, so the family must also take the future into consideration. From this point of view, the little granddaughter of the Fang family is indeed a very suitable marriage partner for Xie Ran. With fewer enemies and fewer walls, more friends and more paths, Fang If the Jia family and the Xie family can change from a state of hostility to in-laws, it will be more than just one plus one equals two. Now it depends on whether the Fang family is willing to have this marriage.
Anyway, Dong Xuebin is in doubt.
Why? the reason is simple.
Many things in politics are not necessarily interests. They also involve issues of face and emotions.
The Xie family can now agree to Xie Ran marrying Fang Shuiling because Xie Ran is a boy and Fang Shuiling is a girl. The Xie family is marrying their Fang family’s granddaughter. This is the initiative in the situation, and Sister Xie and Fang Shuiling are The Fang family has been fighting for decades, and the Xie family has always had the advantage. They are in a relatively victorious position, so it is easier to let go of some things. But the Fang family is different. They have always been suppressed by the Xie family, and now they want to marry their little granddaughter to them? This is not a matter of profit. It makes people feel uncomfortable psychologically. So many forces are watching this marriage. The Fang family had to consider their own face, so even if they knew that a marriage between the two families would benefit both parties, they would not agree easily.
Trouble.
There are too many things involved.
Dong Xuebin has a headache just thinking about it. If this matter goes according to his wishes, he won't be willing to accept it, but now there is no choice. The family has said so. Dong Xuebin has to go if he doesn't want to go. There is no way to push it away.
"Then when should I go?" Dong Xuebin asked.
Xie Guoliang muttered: "Let's go in the afternoon. Things have already started. Everyone in the Fang family knows about it. It's better to go early."
Dong Xuebin nodded, "Sure, I understand."
Han Jing smiled and said, "Then let the children come in, and I'll get the food."
Ci Lifen stood up and said, "Sister-in-law. I'll help you, haha."
"Okay, come Yanzhen, too. The three of us just have a chat. We haven't talked together for a long time." Han Jing took Xia Yanzhen and Ci Lifen to the kitchen together.
Xie Ran, Xie Jing and Fang Shuiling all entered the house.
As soon as Xie Hao came in, he shouted: "Brother-in-law, when are you going to kill me?"
Dong Xuebin said angrily: "What are you going to kill? I'm going to propose marriage on behalf of my family. It's not like destroying the enemy's stronghold."
Xie Ran said sincerely: "Brother-in-law, I'm causing you trouble. Everything between Xiaoling and I depends on you. Even if it doesn't work out... I don't blame you."
Dong Xuebin patted his arm. "give it to me."
Fang Shuiling also said a few polite words to Dong Xuebin, then blinked and went over there to chat with Xie Guobang, Xie Guoliang and others. Even though Xie Guoliang had not had a good impression of the other party's family before. I had strongly opposed this marriage, but not to the point of arguing with a junior. Maybe he actually liked Fang Shuiling's child very much in his heart. He also chatted with Xiaoling and talked about the shortcomings of his parents.
Xie Guojian smiled and said: "It's time to eat, wash your hands. Your aunt is cooking today, so the little guys are in for a treat."
"I'm going to help." Fang Shuiling stood up immediately and did not miss any opportunity to show off. Maybe it was because the Fang family had no attitude at all, which made Fang Shuiling feel very sorry.
Dong Xuebin said: "I will also go to the back to help."
Xie Guobang stopped him and said: "Xiao Bin, go upstairs and ask the old man to eat, and take a look at the old man's body. You haven't been back for a long time." Last time the old man was seriously ill and bedridden, but Dong Xuebin rejuvenated him with a wonderful trick. It only took ten minutes for Mr. Xie to go downstairs by himself, so after that incident, everyone had a deeper understanding of Dong Xuebin's medical skills and gained trust.
Dong Xuebin said hello and went upstairs.
Upstairs, outside Mr. Xie's room, Dong Xuebin knocked on the door and opened it.
Mr. Xie was secretly drinking wine alone in the room. When he saw it was Dong Xuebin, he smiled and waved, "Xiaobin is here. Come, have a drink with me."
Dong Xuebin smiled bitterly, "Why are you drinking again? Your health was better last time."
Mr. Xie smiled and said: "Just a cup, not even a tael, come and sit."
Dong Xuebin sat over and said, "Grandpa, let me feel your pulse and take a look at your body."
Mr. Xie didn't say anything, and stretched out his hand, "Last time, your kid treated me, and now I almost don't do it again. If nothing happens, I'll go for a walk for a kilometer. My body feels better and better."
Dong Xuebin said hurriedly: "Don't mention it, please take it easy and don't do strenuous exercise." Taking his pulse, Dong Xuebin gave the old man's body time to regress and helped him recover as much as possible when he was young. Mr. Xie is the backbone of the family and cannot be defeated. "Grandpa, I have to go to the Fang family to propose marriage in the afternoon and discuss Xiaoran's affairs. I don't know what to say yet. Please give me some advice."
Mr. Xie took a sip of his wine and said, "Haha, I don't have an idea. Just adapt to your circumstances."
"But I don't know how to do it." Dong Xuebin said helplessly.
"Why don't you know? When you, the toad, wanted to eat swan meat and marry my little Huilan, didn't you convince me?" Mr. Xie said.
sweat.
Who is a toad!
Dong Xuebin was speechless. He knew that the old man was still remembering the grudges of previous years. That time, he pointed at the old man's nose and scolded him.
Mr. Xie smiled and said: "Even I can convince you. Those old guys from the Fang family probably won't be a problem. You have this ability. Otherwise, why do you think Guoliang and the others insist on letting you propose marriage on behalf of our family? Haha, you should be a bastard." He behaves like an asshole when he should, and becomes serious when he should be serious, so it is more appropriate for him to handle this matter than Guoliang and others. "
Dong Xuebin said happily: "I will take it as your compliment."
"I was just praising you, kid." Mr. Xie laughed and stroked his beard.
