Just as the teacher in the dormitory was about to happily attend Liu Yibo's wedding banquet, Liu Yibo came back with a bruised and swollen face. His face was gloomy and ashen.
He didn't eat lunch and ignored everyone who asked. He just went to bed and slept.
Mu Yan pulled him up. "What's going on? Aren't we going to see father-in-law?"
Li He and the others were also listening attentively at the side.
Liu Yibo said, "See what? Look at my face!"
Meng Jianguo was the more experienced one. He held back his laughter and said, "Your invitation has already been dismissed. Your father-in-law can't do anything, right?"
Liu Yibo said, "I agreed to the marriage before, but I don't know where he got the news that Jiang Yan is pregnant. Isn't he angry? Those two brothers are big and burly, so I can't fight back."
Li He could picture the scene in his mind.
Father-in-law!
Congratulations, you have a grandson!
I accidentally got your daughter pregnant. Don't worry, old man!
I'll take responsibility. I'll marry your daughter right now!
That father-in-law must be thinking that this was a threat. He wanted to get married, so he used this method to force him.
Li He asked curiously, "What's Jiang Yan's attitude?"
Liu Yibo said, "Rumors say that she's very scheming and got pregnant before marriage. She said that she got on the boat first and then paid for the ticket. They say that because my family is better, in order to tie a man down, she deliberately used this method to force him to marry me. She's even angrier. Father-in-law is a very prideful person. He's worried that people around him will talk about him and make him feel ashamed. They'll say that Jiang Yan and I poured sh * t on his head, making him so ashamed that he doesn't even dare to go out. "
Li He didn't expect this situation. Actually, these rumors weren't without reason. Liu Yibo's conditions were indeed much better than the Jiang family's. Not to mention that Liu Yibo himself was a university teacher, his parents were also local cadres. They were afraid of finding a wife for themselves. As for the Jiang family, Jiang Yan was just a nurse, and her parents were just ordinary proletarian workers. In comparison, the gap between the two was really big.
"Actually, there are a lot of forced marriages, so it's not that hard to accept. The key is that your father-in-law wants face, so we'll just give them face. This way, it won't be good for others to gossip." After thinking for a long time, Li He only had this idea, "How many months has this Jiang Yan been? How dare you drag your father-in-law along? If he gets pregnant, he'll be even more embarrassed. "
Liu Yibo rubbed his swollen eyes and sighed, "I'm not only worried about my father-in-law, I'm also worried about my parents. They're coming from Pujiang tomorrow. How can I meet them like this? If my mother knew about my situation, she wouldn't agree to my marriage no matter what. She would definitely argue with my father-in-law. How could I still give them face? What bad luck. "
The group of people in the room were at a loss. The key was that they didn't have this kind of experience.
In the end, Li Ke said, "Let's take it one step at a time. When will your parents arrive tomorrow? We'll pick them up. You hide for a few days and recuperate. We'll just say that you went on a business trip."
Everyone agreed with this idea.
Liu Yibo shook his head and said, "You guys can't serve me."
The next day, Liu Yibo really brought his parents over.
Li He and the others also expressed their warm welcome.
His father was a medium-sized, fair-faced old man. He spoke in a gentle manner and was very polite.
His mother wore a red woolen trench coat, her hair was tied up in a bun, and her high-heeled shoes were clacking in the corridor.
As soon as they entered the dormitory, she asked Liu Yibo to remove the bandage on his head. Seeing the swollen corner of his eye, she felt even more heartbroken.
"Don't be me, which small kitchen is playing tricks on me?"
Then, she quickly turned her suspicious gaze to Li He and the others. Afraid that they wouldn't understand, she scolded them in Mandarin, "You must kill him. Who are you talking about? Your father and I will help you."
She touched Liu Yibo's body left and right, afraid that he would lose a piece of flesh.
Liu Yibo said, "I accidentally fell. I'm already so old, and you're still worrying for nothing."
Liu Yibo's father also tried to persuade him gently, "Yes, the child has grown up. Why do you worry so much? Can't you be more humble?"
Liu Yibo's mother jumped up, "What's there to be humble about? Don't you know how useless you are? I used to be humble when I was a division chief, but now that I'm a bureau chief, what's there to be humble about?"
Liu Yibo's father was very thin-skinned, "Lower your voice, no one will laugh at you."
"Your son was injured like this, aren't you afraid of being laughed at? You're a bureau chief for nothing."
Li He and the others saw that Liu Yibo was about to be embarrassed and hurried out of the dormitory. They wouldn't be able to get lunch.
They could vaguely hear Liu Yibo's mother express her dissatisfaction with the conditions of the dormitory and loudly say that it was unfair for her son.
Not long after, Liu Yibo went to Li He's dormitory with a long face and asked everyone's opinion, "Can the two families still meet?"
Li Ke's words hit the nail on the head, "Meet? If you're not afraid of a fight, then just ask them out. "
Meng Jianguo also said, "It's indeed not suitable for them to meet. Your mother is a powder keg, and your father-in-law is also a drug addict. It's not appropriate, not appropriate."
Mu Yan said, "Since the household booklet is in your hands, you two can just get married. After that, everything will be settled."
Liu Yibo said, "Jiang Yan won't agree. You guys don't know her personality. She cares about her family, and I don't want her to suffer."
Meng Jianguo asked, "Does your mother know about the pregnancy? She knows that she's going to have a grandson, but she's still happy. She can endure any kind of grievance. "
Liu Yibo shook his head and said, "No matter what, you can't know."
Everyone understood that if Liu Yibo's mother really found out, Jiang Yan might not be able to keep her composure. She was a vixen who seduced her son. Even if she married into the family, Jiang Yan's face would not be able to be lifted even with eight carriages. Who knew how unbearable it would be?
Li He said, "For now, it's better if your parents don't meet with her parents. You've suffered because you wanted to marry someone else's daughter, but your parents' tempers are really bad, so they'll definitely quarrel. You should invite Jiang Yan to meet with your parents so that they won't come here for nothing. Just say that your mother-in-law's family is going abroad or on a business trip. You have to make it up. "
Liu Yibo said, "That's the only way. It won't be easy for me to get past her father. "
Li He said, "As long as the gift is sincere, just set up a banquet and make up for your father-in-law's loss of face."
Liu Yibo shook his head, "If I can't even meet two parents, who am I going to find to get sponsors?"
The corner of everyone's mouth unconsciously turned towards Li He. The rich man was here.
"I'll sponsor when the time comes," Li He said, not letting everyone down.
After Li He had lunch, Xiao Wei called and said that someone had come to the billiard room to look for him. He knew who it was.
