Chapter 2658 2660 [Bitter Meat Strategy]
The reason why Xiang Nan accepted Xiao Lian was mainly because he did not want her to repeat the tragic love story with Liu Chunjiang.
??Although Liu Chunjiang is good, he has a bachelor''s degree from abroad, has superb medical skills, is young, handsome, polite and courteous, but he is also infatuated with Xiao Lian and is determined to do so.
But the key is that his family is too feudal. Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu were very stubborn and did not allow Liu Chunjiang to marry Xiao Lian. Mr. Liu even refused to give Xiao Lian the qualifications to be a concubine.
?Liu Chunjiang also lacks the courage to break with his original family, especially because he is a bad student and has almost no scheming. The whole world knew about the fact that he was going to elope with Xiao Lian a long time ago.
?In fact, according to Xiang Nan''s wishes, Liu Chunjiang should act as if nothing had happened and go to and from get off work as usual, so that his parents could relax their vigilance. Then he took Xiao Lian away with him.
??Nowadays, transportation is so developed that you can travel thousands of miles in one day, so it is difficult to find them. If there is only a week, they may all go abroad. By then, even if Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu wanted to stop him, it would be too late.
On the other hand, in the play, Liu Chunjiang had no plan and eloped with Xiao Lian on his back in the middle of the night. There was no support, no entanglements, no carriages and horses, and with just two legs, he could go nowhere, but he was easily overtaken by the servants.
A fool like this will get a little pity. If there are repeated wars in the future, you may not be able to survive. It''s not a bad thing that Xiao Lian doesn''t follow him.
…
After Xiang Nan accepted Xiao Lian, the next day he heard that Jin Fengju and Wu Peifang were quarreling.
Xiang Nan is not surprised by this. He knows that Jin Fengju is a self-willed romantic, eats, drinks, gambles, and does everything. He has long been planning on Xiao Lian and regards her as a piece of his pocket.
??Now Xiao Lian was given to his seventh brother by Wu Peifang and became a member of his house. In this way, no matter how shameless and despicable Jin Fengju is, he can no longer take advantage of Xiao Lian.
?Every duck that has reached its mouth has flown away. If it had been anyone else, they would have made a fuss.
When Mrs. Jin found out, she called him over and reprimanded him.
"I have never asked you how you behave outside. I just treat it as out of sight and out of mind. But you are not allowed to mess around at home." Mrs. Jin lectured with a straight face, "What Xiao Lian gave to Yan Xi was mine. Nodding in agreement, if you want to make a fuss, just come to me, but you are not allowed to cause trouble to Peifang."
"Mom, what are you talking about? I have never acted recklessly. I''m not looking for trouble with Peifang. I was just talking to each other, so I just had a few words." Jin Fengju quickly defended, "I won''t do anything in the future. Just know her well."
"It''s best if this is the case." Mrs. Jin nodded, "In fact, you should make progress. Your father is old, and you are the eldest son of Jin, so you should shoulder the responsibility.
You should also take on the work of the ministry and the affairs of the family. Don’t run away all the time, and set an example for your younger brothers and sisters. If you are not upright, how can you set an example?
Look at Yanxi, it was not as good as you earlier and often made me worried, but now it has changed its mind and is much more stable. You should also study hard. "
“Yes, mother.” Jin Fengju nodded awkwardly.
…
??And Bai Xiuzhu was also very unhappy when she heard that Xiang Nan had accepted Xiao Lian.
?She hasn''t even gotten married yet, and there is another person beside Xiang Nan.
??If you get married, is it okay? In the future, I’m afraid even three or four of them won’t be able to defeat them.
“That little Lian usually seems to be well-behaved, but I didn’t expect that she is also a coquettish person. She doesn’t know how to work with peace of mind, so she only learns how to seduce others.” She curled her lips and said with great disdain.
"Sister, don''t be angry. It''s common for men to have three wives and four concubines." Wang Yufen advised, "Look at our old man, at his age, he still has three aunts and concubines. It''s really annoying to be angry about such a thing. Not worth it.”
"How come it''s not worth it? If I weren''t angry and let him do whatever he wanted, I don''t know how many more he would take in the future." Bai Xiuzhu said aggrievedly.
"Yes, it''s time to let him know your attitude." Wang Yufen nodded, "In this case, I will call Lao Qi immediately and ask him to come over and apologize to you."
Subsequently, Xiang Nan received a call from Wang Yufen, for which he was mentally prepared. Bai Xiuzhu is the only daughter of the Bai family. Bai Xiongqi and his wife have no children, so they have always raised her as their daughter. It can be said that the moon is not given to the stars. Over time, she got used to being unruly and willful.
?She went to a missionary school, received Western education, and respected Western-style free love. It was strange that she would let Xiang Nan take a concubine.
…
Xiang Nan immediately drove to Bai Mansion.
??Bai Xiuzhu looked through the window and saw him coming, and immediately started making a noise.
As soon as Xiang Nan entered the door, he heard the noise and hurriedly went upstairs.
??But Wang Yufen came up to greet her, "Old Qi, please give good advice to Sister Xiuzhu."
"I understand, Third Sister-in-law." Xiang Nan nodded and walked into the house.
"Get out, get out, I won''t see anyone!" Bai Xiuzhu threw things around while arguing, and a lamp hit the door directly.
When Xiang Nan saw this, he faced him instead of hiding. He pointed at the lamp, shifted his position, and was immediately hit.
“Oops~” He yelled and covered his eyes.
"Yanxi, Yanxi, are you okay?" Bai Xiuzhu was startled when she saw this. She quickly jumped off the bed and came to Xiang Nan and asked.
“My eyes hurt so much. Maybe I was hit blind.” Xiang Nan screamed.
"What?!" Bai Xiuzhu was shocked and felt extremely guilty. "Take your hand away and let me take a look."
“Oops, I can’t open it.” Xiang Nan moved his hand away and closed his left eye tightly and said, “Oops, it really hurts!”
"No, nothing will happen. I''ll call the doctor right away." Bai Xiuzhu said quickly.
"Don''t worry, I''ve heard of a secret recipe that is very effective for eye injuries." Xiang Nan grabbed her and said.
"What''s the secret recipe? Tell me quickly." Bai Xiuzhu said immediately.
"I heard that if your eyes are injured, they will be cured as long as you are kissed by a beautiful woman." Xiang Nan said, "And it must be a real beauty."
"Nonsense, how can there be such a secret recipe?" Bai Xiuzhu spat.
“It doesn’t matter if it’s true or not, it doesn’t hurt to give it a try.” Xiang Nan begged, “Hurry up, I can’t stand the pain anymore.”
"Okay." Seeing how pitiful he was, Bai Xiuzhu stood on tiptoes and kissed his left eye gently.
“Oh, it’s fine, it doesn’t hurt at all.” Xiang Nan immediately opened his eyes and cheered happily, “Xiuzhu, this secret recipe is really effective.”
"Hate, you know how to take advantage of me, I hate you so much." Seeing how exaggerated he was, Bai Xiuzhu didn''t realize that she was being tricked by him, so she couldn''t help but sullenly said in a cold tone.
"Okay, I know you still love me." Xiang Nan stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms and said softly, "Actually, you can''t blame me for what happened to Xiao Lian. I was entrusted by others to accept it.
I originally didn’t want to accept Xiao Lian, but my sister-in-law couldn’t tolerate her. If I didn''t take her in, she would have no choice but to live on the streets, and her fate would be unimaginable.
?You also know that I have always been soft-hearted. Even if a stranger is suffering, I will feel compassion for him. Besides, I have known Xiao Lian for so long and have always treated her as my sister. How could I bear to see her driven away? "
