Chapter 107 Rejection
Pomegranate really had no empathy at all. Admittedly, she admired the father in front of her for his foresight and foresight as the head of the family.

She can also understand the sincerity of what Shopkeeper Ding said to her. In Shopkeeper Ding's view, the girl's family is going to get married anyway. If she is willing to marry into the Ding family, then he must treat her as his own daughter, and he is sincere. He sincerely intends to teach her everything he knows so that she can take over the Ding family business.

For a down-to-earth local girl, this is indeed a rare and good marriage. Women, who will marry into a family where they will not have to work hard to take care of the housework? The Ding family is rich, and shopkeeper Ding is so sincere and willing to treat her as his own daughter. If she gets married and doesn't care about anything else, she will definitely have no worries about food and clothing.

But sorry, she didn't want to.

Only when she can build a family business with her own hands can she have a sense of accomplishment and a sense of existence that she has come to this world. What's the point of taking over a half-finished family business that is thankless, ruined, and unprofitable? ?

The Ding family had two sons and two sisters-in-law, as well as mother-in-law and mother-in-law. Although the population was not large, she felt that there must be a lot going on. Just from the way Mrs. Ding looked at her that day, she could tell a lot. separated.

Shopkeeper Ding's statement cannot be said to be wishful thinking. If the Ding family knew that he was going to hand over the family business to his daughter-in-law's family, how could they not make a fuss? Even if the younger son is willing, how can the older son be willing? If the eldest son is willing, then can the eldest daughter-in-law be willing?
Every family has sutras that are difficult to recite, no matter how good they are. In short, this is troublesome and troublesome water, and it is best for her not to step into it.

Several thoughts flashed through her mind, and Shiliu responded sternly: "I am very honored and grateful to be treated so kindly by Shopkeeper Ding, but I am really not very talented and intelligent. I am afraid that I cannot bear your high expectations. I am really grateful." I’m sorry.”

Hearing her address change from cousin to shopkeeper Ding, Ding Fuguang was startled for a while when he heard these words again.

She really doesn't want to.

He was so sincere, why wouldn't she be willing? This kid really has his own ideas.

Although Ding Fuguang was regretful and disappointed, he also appreciated Pomegranate more in his heart. He knew what he wanted and was not influenced by external forces. This kind of perseverance is really rare.

It's a pity that they don't have this kind of fate.

But he really didn't want to let go of this predestined relationship. In his heart, he really liked and liked the child Pomegranate.

With so many thoughts in his heart, Ding Fuguang soon felt relieved on his face. He smiled and said it was okay with Pomegranate's polite rejection.

"Pomegranate, I respect your idea. It's a pity that we can't achieve this fate of being a father-in-law and a daughter-in-law. So, I wonder if I have the luck to accept you as my adopted daughter?"

Ding Fuguang thought about it. He couldn't get Pomegranate as his daughter-in-law, but if he could accept her as his adopted daughter, everyone would be happy.

When Shiliu heard the change in his voice, she was startled and surprised. An indescribable feeling spread in her heart, especially when she saw the sincerity in Shopkeeper Ding's wise eyes.

In her mind, she really couldn't think of any hesitation about this proposal. Subconsciously, she had the answer.

"I am so lucky to have Shopkeeper Ding as my adoptive father!"

Ding Fuguang's eyes immediately burst into surprise, but he couldn't help but confirm: "Pomegranate, you agreed, right?"

Shiliu smiled and said: "I wonder if you have any plans to hold a formal ceremony like a disciple and ask everyone to witness it? If not, I can call you foster father now!"

Ding Zhang Fuguang suddenly laughed heartily, "We country people are not so particular about it!" Shiliu finally nodded so readily, so he had to hurry up and make this foster father a real father?
Hearing this, Shiliu immediately stood up, cupped his hands generously, and said, "Pomegranate has met his adoptive father!"

Seeing her generous look, shopkeeper Ding burst into laughter, "Okay, okay! My adoptive father is so happy to have such a good daughter like you in Pomegranate!" After saying that, he took off the hanging bag from his waist. He handed a round jade pendant to Pomegranate and said: "This jade pendant was given to me by my old shopkeeper. A gentleman is more virtuous than jade. He hopes that I can be as flexible, unyielding and tenacious as this jade." , my adoptive father has carried it with him for many years, and now I will give it to you, and I will also give you these words."

After Shiliu listened carefully, she took the jade pendant with both hands, "I have learned from my adoptive father's teachings."

Jade can be broken but unyielding and perseverant, which is exactly what she wants.

He failed to persuade Pomegranate to agree to the marriage, but he received Pomegranate as his adoptive daughter. Today, it was really a happy event. Ding Fuguang was very happy. When the waiter served the food, he also specially asked the waiter to serve the best food. The wine is coming.

Pomegranate didn't want to drink, so he pulled Li Rongzong to drink. In short, happy things should be celebrated with wine.

Li Rongzong still hasn't recovered from his composure at this moment. Didn't he obviously come to talk about the marriage? Shopkeeper Ding was so sincere and wanted to hand over the family business to his second sister, but his second sister still disagreed. How could it happen that in the blink of an eye, his second sister became shopkeeper Ding's adopted daughter?

Ouch!

Others were confused, and he was also confused when Ding Fuguang led him to drink. But after a few glasses of wine, he became happy. He was happy for his second sister! Having such a foster father is a good thing after all!
At the moment, the two of them exchanged cups and drank happily. Pomegranate was also very happy as she devoured the colorful, fragrant and delicious dishes.

There are two great pleasures in life, but food and love cannot be denied!
Of course, this love also includes family and friendship.

After the meal, Li Rongzong was so drunk that he fell asleep on the table.

Ding Fuguang also drank a lot, but his face was a little red, and his eyes were still clear. He had been around for most of his life, and his drinking capacity was not a problem.

"Pomegranate, your eldest brother is drunk. Let's go back to the warehouse first and let him sleep and sober up. I'll have someone take you brothers and sisters back later."

Shiliu hurriedly said: "Father, we came here by mule cart."

Ding Fuguang listened and said: "It's okay, then I'll have someone drive the car for you."

At that moment, Ding Fuguang asked the restaurant waiter to help Li Rongzong go downstairs, paid the bill, and left the restaurant. Not far from the restaurant was Datong Warehouse.

After returning to the warehouse, Ding Fuguang asked Li Rongzong to help him lie down in the room and go to sleep. Then he and Shiliu sat together to drink a cup of hot tea and talk.

The conversation was about family matters. Now that he had adopted Pomegranate as his adoptive daughter, Ding Fuguang was a little confused. The two men got straight to the point and there was no need to hide things. He asked directly: "Can you tell the truth to your adoptive father, why did you do this? Don’t you want this marriage?”

He was really curious about what Pomegranate thought about this matter.

Pomegranate listened, smiled, and asked without answering: "Father, will your wife and the eldest son's eldest daughter-in-law sincerely be happy for you to hand over the family property to the second daughter-in-law?"

Ding Fuguang's subconscious reaction was that he had the final say in the family business, and besides, it was for the good of his family. But when he met Shiliu's shining eyes, he was stunned and had to think about this issue seriously. Come.

After thinking about it, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, and looked at Pomegranate with even more admiration, "You kid, you are really smart!"
