The heavens set sail from the courtyard

After Wang Gang knew that Chai An had misunderstood that he wanted to marry Li Kangning, he was not in a hurry to explain. Instead, he stared at Chai An with great interest, which made him look frightened.

Chai An was angry that Wang Gang had stolen his love, and he lost his mind at this moment. He grabbed Wang Gang by the collar and asked:
"You knew that I liked Li Kangning, so why did you propose marriage to me?"

Wang Gang slapped Chai An's hand away and said with a smile: "Mr. Chai, since you like Li Kangning, why don't you ask for her hand in marriage? If you don't want to marry her, why do you want to stop others from marrying her?"

Chai An hesitated and said, "I haven't had time to discuss this with my mother yet, but you acted faster than me and asked a matchmaker to come to my house and propose marriage today."

Wang Gang laughed and said, "Who told you that I proposed to Li Kangning?"

Chai An was stunned and said, "I just met Li Kangning, and she said she was going to buy cloth to make a wedding dress in preparation for the wedding!"

Wang Gang laughed and said, "She said she was making a wedding dress, but did she say she was making it for herself?"

Chai An finally realized what was happening and asked suspiciously, "Aren't you asking Li Kangning to marry you?"

Wang Gang snorted, "I'm marrying Li Shouhua, not Li Kangning."

Chai An was overjoyed when he heard this, knowing that he had blamed the wrong person, and quickly apologized: "Brother Yuankang, I'm so sorry, it was my mistake, I'll treat you to a drink to make amends."

Wang Gang said with a straight face: "Do you miss me just because you drink?"

Chai Andui smiled and said, "As long as Brother Yuankang can forgive me, I will agree to whatever you ask for."

Wang Gang laughed and said, "Then you can call me brother-in-law first."

Chai An knew that Wang Gang was making fun of him, and his cheeks felt slightly hot.

"You and Li Shouhua haven't gotten married yet! It's not appropriate to call me brother-in-law now!"

"It's only a matter of time." Wang Gang said with a smile, "Unless Mr. Chai doesn't want to marry Li Kangning."

"I want to marry her." Chai An shouted hurriedly, "I will find a matchmaker and go to the Li family to propose marriage."

Wang Gang stopped Chai An who was about to run away and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Since you are here, have a meal with me before you leave."

Chai An said anxiously: "I won't eat. I'm worried that someone will get there first. I have to go to Li's house first."

Wang Gang said proudly: "Now you know you are in a hurry, why didn't you do it earlier? Didn't you say before that you didn't like Li Kangning?"

Chai An said embarrassedly: "Brother Yuankang, please stop laughing at me. Can't I just admit my mistake?"

Wang Gang laughed loudly and stopped teasing Chai An. He said seriously, "You haven't informed Madam Chai about your relationship with Li Kangning yet! If you rashly go to the Li family to propose marriage, your mother will be furious if she finds out."

Chai An slapped his forehead and said, "I am so anxious that I am confused. I will go home to find my mother now."

Wang Gang shook his head and said, "Don't be too optimistic about this matter. As far as I know, Madam Chai is quite biased."

Chai An said without any worries: "I was worried about this, but now that Brother Yuankang has married Li Shouhua, it will be easier for me and my mother to explain it!"

Wang Gang was slightly stunned, but soon he figured it out.

If Li Shouhua, as the eldest daughter, married well, it would be easier to discuss the marriages of her younger sisters. Lady Li insisted on letting her eldest daughter marry into the Wang family because of this consideration.

Obviously, Chai An also thought of this, which is why he was confident about his marriage with Li Kangning.

"We will be brothers-in-law in the future. My mother should be very happy about this and will definitely not object to my marriage to Li Kangning."

"Then Mr. Chai, you owe me a big favor." Wang Gang said proudly.

"As long as Brother Yuankang opens his mouth, I, Chai An, will go to him rain or shine without a word." Chai An vowed.

"I hope you remember what I said today." Wang Gang said with a smile.

Chai An said anxiously, "Brother Yuankang, I won't talk to you anymore. I have to go find my mother and ask her to propose marriage."

After that, Chai An couldn't wait to leave Wang's house and return home to discuss the marriage proposal with his mother. Wang Gang shook his head, went back to the study, picked up a pen, quickly wrote a letter, and then called the servants.

"Send this letter to the Zhe Family Army in the northwest, and you must personally hand it over to the young commander of the Zhe Family Army."

Wang Gang took out another small ingot of gold, handed it to the servant, and ordered: "The sooner the better, and there must be no loss!"

After the servant left with the letter, Wang Gang said to himself: "I have to tell you something about marrying your elder sister."

…………

Chai An ran back home quickly and told his mother, Mrs. Chai, about his marriage.

As Wang Gang had expected, Mrs. Chai turned her face away as soon as she heard that her son wanted to marry Li Kangning.

"An'er, you can marry any woman you want, why must it be the daughter of the Li family?" Old Madam Chai said with a dark face.

Chai An's heart sank when he heard this.

"Mother, do you know the lady from the Li family?" Chai An asked tentatively.

"Humph!" Mother Chai said unhappily, "Who wants to meet her? I've heard your aunt talk a lot about the Li family."

Chai An's aunt is Fan Lianghan's mother.

Fan's mother was deeply touched by the aggressive behavior of her daughter-in-law Li Fuhui, and often complained to Chai's mother, which made Chai's mother have a bad impression on Li's family.

"An'er, the girl from the Li family is fierce and strong, and she won't let her husband marry another woman. You have to think it over carefully." Chai's mother advised.

"Mother, I have chosen Li Kangning, and I only want to marry her in this life." Chai An said firmly.

"What on earth has possessed you and your cousin?" Mother Chai sighed and said, "There are so many gentle and virtuous women in the world, why do you insist on marrying the girl from the Li family?"

Chai An rolled his eyes, sat down next to his mother, and said, "Mother, not only do I want to marry the girl from the Li family, but Wang Yuankang also wants to marry the eldest lady from the Li family."

"Your friend Wang Yuankang?" Chai's mother asked in surprise, "I heard that the eldest lady of the Li family is a widow, isn't she?"

While massaging his mother's legs, Chai An said, "The Wang family doesn't care about Madam Li's status at all. This morning, Madam Wang went to the Li family in person to propose marriage."

Mother Chai couldn't sit still any longer and asked, "Are you serious?"

Chai An laughed and said, "How dare I lie to my mother about this!"

Mother Chai's eyes rolled and she asked curiously, "Doesn't the Wang family claim to be a clean family? Why would they marry into the Li family?"

Chai An said: "Because Old Madam Wang knows very well that a virtuous wife brings prosperity to three generations!
Mother, you said that the girls from the Li family are hot-tempered. I don’t refute you, but since my cousin married the second wife of the Li family, has he improved a lot? "

Chai's mother thought about it carefully and realized that Fan Lianghan had indeed changed a lot after marrying Li Fuhui. He used to be an uneducated young man, but after getting married, with Li Fuhui's supervision, Fan Lianghan began to pay attention to his own business and interacted less with those bad friends.

Also, when Chai's mother was chatting with her sister, she just disliked Li Fuhui's hot temper, but never thought of letting her son divorce Li Fuhui.

"An'er, are you really sure about Li Kangning?" Chai's mother asked again.

"Mother, I will not marry anyone other than Li Kangning in this life." Chai An said solemnly.

Mother Chai sighed, thought for a long time, and said, "Forget it, I agree to this marriage. I will find a matchmaker to go to the Li family to propose marriage tomorrow."

Chai An was overjoyed, hugged his mother and said with a smile: "Thank you very much, mother, for your help."

Mother Chai was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "Sure enough, he forgot his mother after getting a wife!"

Chai An assured: "Don't worry, mother. After I get married, I will be more filial to you together with my new daughter-in-law."

Mother Chai shook her head and said, "You are the one who married my wife, not me. I just hope you won't regret it in the future." (End of this chapter)
