Chapter 312: What the Heck is Dark Cuisine (4)_1
Lu Hai followed her without saying a word, fulfilling his duty of close protection.
Old Scholar Fang, after leaving Taiping Town, called Fang Hui and Feng Shouxing over and asked them to take a trip to Fang Family Village.
Fang Hui’s face looked unpleasant, reluctant to go.
Old Scholar Fang then got off the carriage, hands clasped behind his back, and spoke to a few adults aside.
With a displeased purse of her lips, Fang Hui muttered, "Father wants to say whatever, I already know, I just want Dalang to marry Qinqin. You consider your grandson, and I consider my own son! Besides, if Qinqin marries into our family, I’d treat her like my own daughter, and Dalang would too. Even if our family isn’t as wealthy, if she really climbed up the social ladder, enjoying immediate riches, she’d be worse off than anyone in the end! I’m considering for her as well!"
Feng Shouxing, seeing Old Scholar Fang’s grim and unhappy face, turned back and tugged at Fang Hui, telling her to speak less. After all, he was her father-in-law, her very own father. Their family’s land was registered under his name, and over the years, they hadn’t paid any taxes or grain. If they offended him, it would not be good.
Although Fang Li had not given up, he adamantly denied it, "Second sister, don’t talk nonsense! As for Qinqin’s marriage, father has plans for her! She is destined for great things, not suited for families like us! What’s this about father considering for his grandson? Father has said before, we will not add kin upon kin! If we make marital alliances, we will seek outward, to make strong connections with several families, to support each other, to grow and flourish, to propagate! Otherwise, what do we have to compete with Old Pei’s House and the Qian family!?"
"If you had no intention, would you send Liuming to the town school? And why do you visit Qinqin every day, if not to seize the opportunity of being close to the water to get first dibs on the moon? Second sister is strong-willed, she didn’t mince words with her brother.
