"When we knew that your father was going to marry the Wei family to your mother, we all panicked. At that time, we discovered a secret about your mother." After saying this, Mrs. Wei paused slightly, her eyes turned red, and her voice Somewhat choked up, almost speechless.
"Did...my mother meet my father?" Ye Xingtong asked almost tremblingly.
"That's right, we found that your mother would come back very late every day, so we secretly sent people to follow her, only to find that she always secretly had secret meetings with another man. That man's identity was secret, and we couldn't find out no matter how hard we checked. At that time, your mother was also engaged to another man. It was a baby marriage arranged by your grandfather and your grandmother since childhood. Your uncle and I both thought this was an opportunity, or I came up with a bad idea in a hurry. "
"One night she came back very late, so we blocked her in a small alley not far from the door and lied to her that your grandfather knew about her secret meeting with outsiders and became furious... "
Mrs. Wei looked at the disbelieving woman in front of her and said with tears in her eyes: "Sister, we don't want to be like this. You are engaged to another man and meet another man in the blink of an eye. How can you not make your father angry? , you can do it once or twice, your father has found you many times, and every time he waits for you to explain it to him first, but you don't say it, your marriage contract was made since you were a child, do you want your father to Did you break your promise?"
The woman shook her head: "No, I know I have an engagement, but I don't like that person, and I can't control my liking for someone. As for the engagement, I will explain it to my father, and I think he can understand it." I."
Mrs. Wei looked at the woman with disappointment and said in a voiceless voice: "Sister, do you really fall in love with that unknown person?"
Hearing this, a happy smile appeared in the woman's eyes: "Yes, I like him. No matter who he is, I will believe whatever he says."
"Then did he say anything about his identity?" Wei Huang's heart moved and he asked anxiously.
If this brother-in-law is a high official, he will temporarily cancel this plan, and he may be able to rely on him to promote him in the future.
The woman glanced at Wei Huang and felt a little moved in her heart: "Brother, you finally care about me, do you know? I have always wanted us to coexist peacefully. Is there any conflict between us that cannot be resolved? As long as everyone speaks out, the three stinkers Cobbler, you are as good as Zhuge Liang. A single thread cannot make a thread, and a single tree cannot make a forest. A flower blooming alone is not spring, only a thousand colors and colors make the garden full of spring. In my heart, I have never been separated from you, and I am the only one like you. Brother."
Wei Huang seemed to be moved, a few tears shed from his eyes, and he stretched out his hand to give himself a few slaps: "It's all my fault. I've always envied you, been jealous of you, and targeted you everywhere. I'm really not a human being!"
The woman held Wei Huang's hand and wanted to slap her: "Brother, please stop saying that. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have stolen your limelight and made things difficult for you since you were a child."
A trace of guilt flashed in Mrs. Wei's eyes, her eyes were sour, and tears almost flowed out. She hurriedly persuaded the two of them: "Okay, let's get down to business first!"
The woman nodded, and an imperceptible tenderness appeared on her face when she thought of that man: "He is not a great person. He said that he is just the son of a small merchant in the south, running some small businesses, and his brothers at home are also very good. There are so many…”
"What?" Wei Huang couldn't help interrupting her loudly.
The woman smiled and looked at Wei Huang: "Brother, do you think he is useless? Do you want to stop me from seeing him? I know you will also dislike his family's situation, but I don't think a man born in Children from poor families have no future, I like him, I just like him as a person, it has nothing to do with his family background or money."
Wei Huang's face was a little confused, but this sister revealed his thoughts with just one word.
It seems that it is better not to talk too much.
It would be troublesome if I showed my flaws.
Nuonuo said: "Yes, yes, eldest brother thinks that the son of a small businessman is not worthy of my good sister."
…
Mrs. Wei spoke slowly, with unconcealed guilt and regret on her face: "After that conversation, she went to see the man as usual, and she also changed a lot towards us. Your uncle was also kind to her on the surface. A lot, which made her very happy. Later, we found an opportunity to do something... "
Ye Xingtong's heart skipped a beat, his expression became heavy, and he couldn't help clenching his hands.
That day, the woman came back very happy. She first went to see Mrs. Wei and said happily: "Sister-in-law, let me tell you some good news!"
Mrs. Wei was also infected by her joy and pulled her to sit down: "Tell me what good news there is."
"Didn't the boy from the Fan family and I have an engagement since childhood? I persuaded the boy's father to exchange tokens with us and he agreed to terminate our engagement. Didn't my father always complain that I didn't tell him? I just Talk to him and let his father see him, and he will definitely agree with him." The woman said with joy, picking up a clean apple on the table and taking a bite.
A trace of surprise flashed through Mrs. Wei's eyes: "Sister, that's really great, but is the man you like really credible?"
If they really came and their father agreed, wouldn't their plan be impossible to implement
No, we must hurry up as soon as possible before her father comes back, trick her sister out, and never come back again.
"Since I like him, I have to believe him. Real feelings require mutual trust, so I choose to believe him and love him. Even if he cheated on me, I still believe that he has his own reasons." The woman said.
"Good sister, you are so stupid..." Mrs. Wei hugged the woman and almost started crying again.
"I'm not stupid, sister-in-law, don't worry about me. I have to talk to my father about this matter as soon as possible..."
With that said, the woman put down the apple and stood up.
"Hey..." Mrs. Wei hurriedly hugged the woman, pulled her to sit down, and sighed hesitantly.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? You always sigh. Is it because your elder brother has offended you?" the woman asked in surprise.
Mrs. Wei shook her head: "No, your eldest brother has always been kind to me. My father went out early this morning to discuss business. I'm afraid it will take a few days before he comes back."
"Why didn't father tell me?"
"How much time are you away from home a day now? Except when you come back to help when the business at home is busy, otherwise, don't you have your heart tied to others?" Mrs. Wei joked.
The woman blushed and said coquettishly: "Sister-in-law, you are making fun of me again."
"Okay, I don't want to make you happy anymore. Sister, I want to tell you something serious." Mrs. Wei's expression became serious: "Didn't my sister-in-law say last time that my father knew about you and was a little angry? This time he knew "The person you like is just a humble small businessman with so many brothers in the family. I'm afraid life will be difficult in the future. He said that he will never see you again and wants you to completely sever your relationship with him."
"Why? He hasn't seen her yet, how do you know he's not good?" The woman's face changed drastically, and she stood up suddenly, almost causing the entire table to fall down.
"Sister, listen to me, marriage has been ordered by parents since ancient times. According to the matchmaker, it is not right for you to meet that person in private..."
"I don't care if it's right or not. I only know that I like him and want to be with him." The woman said righteously: "I like someone and want to be with him. Is there anything wrong with that?"
"You were raised as a boy. It's not surprising that you would think so about my sister-in-law. But my father is different. He grew up deeply influenced by Confucianism. He didn't want to and had no choice. He said he left you two choices. One is to stay and marry Mr. Fan, and he will forget about it, but if you choose that man, he said... "
"what did he say?"
"He said you should never enter our family again and that you would be removed from the clan." Mrs. Wei said with tears in her eyes and wiped it with a handkerchief.
The woman suddenly collapsed and leaned against Mrs. Wei's arms, like an eggplant beaten by frost: "How could my father say that? I don't believe it. Where did my father go to discuss business? I'm going to find him."
The woman got up from Mrs. Wei's arms and turned to leave.
"Sister, I know you don't believe it. Even my sister-in-law doesn't want to believe it. But here is a letter written by my father. It is written clearly and clearly." Mrs. Wei took out a letter from her arms.
The woman was stunned for a moment, then walked to Mrs. Wei, took the letter, and after just one glance, she burst into tears and dropped the letter in her hand to the ground: "No, I absolutely don't believe it. I absolutely don't believe it. How could my father put it into his hands?" What if I eliminate the clan? He loves me so much."
Mrs. Wei's tears also flowed out: "Sister, my father has taken great pains for you. That person is not of the same status as you. There are many brothers in the family, so there will inevitably be various disputes. If you get married, you will definitely endure hardship in the future. Yes, for the sake of your future, sister, you should let go of him. If you marry Mr. Fan, you will live a life of prosperity and wealth. Mr. Fan is a talented person and a good businessman. He also falls in love with you at first sight. He doesn’t look at you seriously except for you. If you don't care about others, someone who is so infatuated with you will definitely treat you well."
"I don't like Mr. Fan, I only like him. If my father really wants to force me, then I..."
The woman leaned on Mrs. Wei and cried bitterly: "Sister-in-law, I really don't want to leave home. How can my father be so cruel?"
"Good sister, just stay! We can't bear to leave you." Mrs. Wei also felt sour in her heart, and she choked with sobs and begged the woman.
"I relented at the time. I really wanted her to stay. As long as she stayed, I would rather leave the Wei family to her and let her manage everything in our Wei family. I also believe she can manage the Wei family well. Industrial, but she left and followed the small businessman whose name and age were unknown. After that, she never came back... "
