Chapter 54 A Gentleman's Promise, a Promise of Gold
When Li Huijin heard this, he opened his mouth and was about to say something when he heard Tao He continue.
"Girls are ultimately at a disadvantage compared to boys.
After my sister has been with you, if you really change your mind over the long years.
You just need to tell me, and I will take my sister home, and you don't bully her."
When he said this, Tao He's eyes turned red.
Tao He also realized his own loss of composure, but there was nothing he could do.
My younger sister has also been raised by myself since she was a child, but after getting married and having children, she will start her own family.
As her brother, I may not be able to protect her all the time.
So Tao He stood up to calm down and said.
"Hey, I've drunk so much, I'm going to the toilet."
After saying that, he was ready to leave.
At this time, Li Huijin looked at Tao He's back, stood up and said firmly.
"Brother, don't worry, I will definitely treat Tao Jin well.
She is more important to me than my life."
Hearing the word "brother", Tao He felt an inexplicable sense of relief in his heart. He turned around and looked at Li Huijin, who said to him with a relieved smile.
“A gentleman’s promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold.
Even though you passed my test, it will be difficult to pass my father's test."
After saying that, Tao He went to the toilet, and Li Huijin also sat down and began to think about how to please his future father-in-law.
When Tao Jin came out of the bathroom, Li Huijin had already enthusiastically filled his glass with wine.
"What are you doing?
If you show your kindness to me for no reason, you are either a traitor or a thief. Could it be that it is because you called me brother?"
Li Huijin did not explain anything, but kept toasting with Tao He.
Tao He felt a little dizzy from drinking at this time, and waved his hand and said.
"Oh, no, I'll get drunk if I drink any more."
Li Huijin looked at him and saw that he was a little drunk, so he asked.
"Uncle, what are your hobbies?"
At this time, Tao He's dizzy head was slow to react.
He answered whatever Li Huijin asked.
"He doesn't have any other hobbies. On weekdays, he likes to play chess.
It’s just that I’m not good at chess, and there’s no one in my family to play chess with him.
He plays chess with himself after get off work on weekdays."
"So what does Auntie like on a daily basis?"
"My mom likes to mess with her face on weekdays.
Someone said that snow grass can be applied on the face to improve the skin, so she applied it on her own face.
She also heard someone say that vanishing cream is good for the face, so she went to buy it. My mother cares most about her face.
"So what does your brother like?"
"He likes to eat candy on a daily basis. Even though he has cavities, he still eats candy.
Speaking of which, I'm going to confiscate all his candies when I get back this time, for letting him eat them so recklessly."
After getting these answers, Li Huijin felt more at ease.
Tao He didn't notice anything was wrong at all. He stood up unsteadily and prepared to go back to his room to sleep.
The next morning was the first day of the new year. After today, they would go to the Tao family together on the second day of the new year.
I drank some wine last night and couldn't get up this morning. While I was sleeping, there was a knock on the door.
It was Li Huijin who heard the knock on the door first and walked over to open it.
An old woman was standing at the door with a cane, and beside her was a middle-aged man with gray hair and a middle-aged woman who was dressed neatly.
"who are you?"
As soon as Li Huijin asked the question, the old woman took the lead and spoke, leaning on her crutches.
“You don’t even know who I am, but your grandfather and I are cousins.
You should call me grandma."
Li Huijin knew early on how weird his grandfather's relatives were.
When our family was in financial difficulty, those relatives were the ones who took advantage of our misfortunes.
Later, after I left home and my family's conditions improved, they came up to me even more shamelessly, hoping to make more money, but they were all rejected by my grandparents.
At this time, the middle-aged man spoke and said to Li Huijin.
"I'm sorry to bother you on the first day of the new year. I'm the head of Dashi Village."
Standing next to the village chief was the village chief's wife. She looked at Li Huijin with increasing satisfaction and nodded.
My daughter's vision is still trustworthy. Which girl wouldn't be attracted by this man's looks and figure?
Li Huijin became upset when he heard the words Dashi Village and wanted to close the door directly, but the old woman held him back with her crutch.
The next second, the old woman walked in tremblingly, scolding Li Huijin as she walked.
"You are so rude, young man! I am your elder and you dare to turn me away?"
Li Huijin watched the three of them walk into the main hall of his house and sit down. He was thinking about how to get rid of them when he heard the old woman continue talking.
"When you said the house was yours, I left it to you and didn't deprive you of your property.
Why do you have to make things unpleasant with these relatives at home?
If your grandfather hadn't adopted you, you wouldn't have lived to this age.
Now that your grandparents are gone, your marriage will naturally be decided by us, the elders.
I watched Zhao Juan, the girl from Dashi Village, grow up.
But she's a good girl, you can't let her down.
If you let her down, we elders will seek justice for her."
Yesterday was New Year's Eve, Zhao Juan cried at home all day.
She said that if she couldn't get Li Huijin, she would become a nun or kill herself.
The village chief of Dashi Village and his wife were so distressed by what they saw.
Later, the head of Dashi Village thought that Grandpa Li Huijin's cousin was about to marry into their village, so if they asked the old man to come forward, there might be a chance for a comeback.
That's why I ran to find the old woman early in the morning and told her what happened.
The old woman had been married to Dashi Village for many years and had long considered herself a member of the village.
Why wouldn't he help when the village chief asked for it? That's why he came with the village chief to find Li Huijin.
After all, he is her junior. If he is with the village chief's daughter, the relationship between their family and the village chief will be closer, so she is willing to make this trip.
Seeing Li Huijin's attitude, the old woman naturally didn't take it to heart. She was so old, why would she care about the attitudes of these children?
"Your family is really shameless. The last time your daughter came here, I told her not to bother me anymore.
I said, I have a partner, and I don’t want your entanglement to make my lover feel unhappy.
Whether you are the village chief of Dashi Village or you are an old woman.
None of you combined is more important than my lover’s happiness.”
