Xia Xiaodie was very indignant, but she didn't dare to say anything.
Liu Yuehong quickly pinched her arm and winked at her: "Why don't you go back to the house?"
Xia Xiaodie hurried out of the main house and ran back to her room.
"I'll go see her, so she doesn't do anything stupid again."
Liu Yuehong said something to the old man and the old lady, then turned around and left the upper room.
"Mom, I didn't do anything, I..."
Seeing her mother enter the room, Xia Xiaodie's eyes turned red again and her face was full of grievance.
Liu Yuehong shouted, "How dare you say that? Have you learned everything I taught you?"
"You dare to admit that you're meeting a man in private?"
"This is only for family use. If this gets out to the outside world, your life will be ruined. Do you understand?"
Xia Xiaodie shrank her neck, grabbed her mother's sleeve, and begged, "Mom, I want to marry Brother Zhou, please help me!"
Liu Yuehong glanced at her, ignored her, and sat down on the kang with a gloomy face.
Xia Xiaodie quickly sat down next to her: "Mom, didn't you also say that I am good-looking and my feet are small even without binding, so I was born to be a young lady?"
"Brother Zhou's family is powerful. His father is the county magistrate, and he himself is about to take the imperial examination and will become an official in the future.
If I can marry him, I will be the wife of an official, and you will be the mother of an official's wife. How proud you will be when you go out?"
"Haven't you always hated Su Qiao's mother for stealing your fiancée? If I..."
"Shut up!"
Liu Yuehong glanced at the door in panic, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there was no one there.
"When did I hate Zhou Lihua? I just couldn't stand her stupid and complacent look."
"If you dare to say such slanderous words to me again, I will no longer recognize you as my daughter, and don't come to me for help if you have any problems."
Xia Xiaodie hurriedly apologized: "Mom, I was wrong, I won't say it again, and I won't mention this matter again in the future."
"Mom, what about me and Brother Zhou..."
Liu Yuehong is a very smart person and her view of things is not as superficial as her daughter Xia Xiaodie.
"Humph, he is the son of the county magistrate, how could he be interested in our conditions?"
"Even if Mr. Zhou really likes you, his parents won't agree.
It's not a good match, it won't work, so stop dreaming."
After a pause, Liu Yuehong glanced at her daughter and said, "Unless you want to marry in as a concubine."
Xia Xiaodie shook her head firmly: "No! I will never be a concubine, I want to be the principal wife."
"Then don't associate with that Mr. Zhou anymore. Mother will find you a wealthy family. Then you won't have to work in the fields, and you will have enough food and clothing."
Liu Yuehong also didn't want her good daughter to become someone else's concubine, being treated as an inferior and being laughed at.
Especially Zhou Lihua, she will definitely gossip about her everywhere in the village.
Xia Xiaodie lowered her head and said nothing more.
Liu Yuehong thought she had persuaded her, so she patted her shoulder, sighed, and walked out of the room.
In the main house of the Xia family, the discussion was still going on.
"Dad, what should we do now?"
The two brothers of the Xia family looked at Old Man Xia, hoping that he could come up with some rules.
The old man took a few puffs of his cigarette before he spoke: "Go get two pieces of bacon and a bag of candy. Let's go to Old Su's house tonight to apologize."
When the old lady heard this, she didn't want to do it.
But she also didn't know that this was a critical moment.
"Old man, will it be helpful if we apologize to them?"
