"Itâs your son who wants to end your bloodline, what does that have to do with me? Anyway, my daughter will never enter the Mei Familyâs door. A soldier with a backbone isnât thinking about defending the nation but instead is using those flowery words, insisting on marrying my girl. Even if there were no men left in this world, I wouldnât let my daughter marry into your family."
"Isnât that too harsh? Whatâs wrong with my son?"
"Your son isnât bad, but heâs part of the Mei Family. As long as heâs with the Mei Family, we wonât agree."
"Whatâs wrong with the Mei Family? If you canât trust Mei Shuping, canât you trust me, Mei Shuqing? Who doesnât want their children to be happy? You want your daughter to be well, and I want the same for my son. Now both kids love each other, and youâre forcibly separating them; itâs not for their benefit."
"Mei Laoer, arenât you afraid your son will be talked about if the two kids are together?"
"Since when have I, Mei Shuqing, ever cared about gossip? Tao Jiangfeng, are you going to sacrifice your daughterâs happiness just for the sake of face?"
"Since when have I cared about othersâ gossip?"
"If you donât care, isnât that even better? So why prevent the two kids from being together?"
"Mei Laoer, I used to trust you, but after what happened at your Mei Family tonight, Iâm starting to have doubts."
"To hell with your doubts, I walk upright and do things squarely. Iâve never been crooked. Including Junzi, if he ever dares to do anything disgraceful, I wonât need you to make a move; Iâd cripple him myself with a stick."
"No, no, I swear, I would never do anything to wrong Xiao Jia." Mei Lang Jun quickly defended himself from the side.
"Great promise, but who can guarantee there will be no accidents in the future?"
"Tao Jiangfeng, this way doesnât work, that way doesnât work; are you agreeing or not, or do we have to resort to force?"
"Mei Laoer, go ahead and try then. Are you really going to scare me with your little tricks?"
"Pfft, what, want a fight? Fine! Junzi, today you better make me proud. Thatâs your wife, Xiao Yi, get him!"
"Whose wife are you talking about? Weâre not even close to a marriage contract. Beat me first, then talk."
The two old men said this while beginning to stretch their bodies.
Han Yi frowned, looked at the eldest of the Tao Family, and then at Tao Jia, the second son.
To be honest, he wasnât sure about the backgrounds of these two from the Tao Family.
Junzi patted Xiao Yi on the shoulder and said, "Iâll deal with the eldest, you take the second one."
Han Yiâs specialty was sniping, but when it came to hand-to-hand combat, he was top-notchâhe was a versatile soldier.
"Old Tao, what are you talking about? How can you decide my daughterâs happiness with just a word? Talking about fighting and snatching people, are you bandits?"
"Sister Bingâ" Liang Qian saw Wu Bing come out and quickly went forward to pull her back.
"Liang, although weâve always gotten along well, when it comes to my daughter, I wonât compromise."
"I know, I know. We mothers always think of our own children."
While Liang Qian and Wu Bing talked, the others had already started fighting.
Soldiers are ruthless, and if youâre not careful, you could suffer serious injuries. Wu Bing and Liang Qian had no mind to talk about the kids anymore.
They were anxiously watching the fight in front of them, shouting to make them stop, but they didnât listen.
Summer nights are hot, and everyone goes to bed late, so it didnât take long for a crowd to gather around.
Once they understood the situation, it was clear: Mei Laoerâs son wants to marry Tao Familyâs youngest daughter. Although Tao Jia and Mei Langchi were once married, they are now divorced, but thereâs always that connection.
If they get married in the future, it would inevitably be awkward.
People couldnât understand why Mei Lang Jun fancied Tao Jia, considering Mei Lang Jun is quite talented and comes from a good family. Why insist on marrying a divorced woman?
But marrying someone whoâs divorced isnât easy either. Originally, the Tao Family didnât have a good impression of the Mei Family because of Mei Langchi, and there was even a grudge. Is it any wonder the Tao Family wanted to fight them?
In the end, a few soldiers in the courtyard tried to separate them, but were eventually beaten back. After fighting for a long time, there was no clear winner. Not that there wasnât a winnerâHan Yi had knocked down Tao Familyâs second son.
From the looks of it, Junzi had the upper hand.
Mei Shuqing and Tao Jiangfeng both exchanged blows and got bruises. Neither of them was willing to back down.
