Brilliant Years 1991

Chapter 139: The Two Heroes of the Xie Family
"Open the door!"

"No! Leave now!"

"Open the door!"

"No! Please, just leave!"

"Open the door!"

"..."

After a tug of war for three or four minutes, Song Yuqian finally opened the door. As soon as the door was opened, she stood there with a red face. It was hard to tell whether the expression on her face was anger, resentment, or shame. "I hate you so much!"

Cao Yukun didn't care about that. He put his arms around her and went about his daily routine, like a rude man who didn't know how to be interesting or understand his daughter's shame. He said loudly, "What's the big deal? What's the relationship between us? I came here today to bring business to you. What is this? A betrothal gift! You've agreed! Then it's normal to have a baby in the future, isn't it?... Why, you don't agree again?"

Although she knew that her family would not come to the third floor even under normal circumstances, Song Yuqian still quickly closed the door at this time, and then she rarely complained, "Of course not! But... we are still a long way from getting married! Besides, how can you talk about your son in front of me like you do, and tie it to your business, as if I am also a commodity..."

Cao Yukun was stunned. "Goods... isn't it?"

Song Yuqian was stunned for a moment, then she punched him angrily, becoming even more angry and saying, "You are the commodity!"

Cao Yukun then smiled and hugged her tightly, and whispered to her by her ear: "Are you not happy about being bought by me?"

She snorted softly, but couldn't help showing a look of secretly suppressing laughter on her face.

Anyway, my back is facing away and he can’t see me.

People often say that marriage is determined by parents and matchmaker. Nowadays, people talk about free love, but at least in Fuping, everyone still recognizes these two principles. Although there is no matchmaker now, she has agreed on the marriage with her father face to face. For her, what is there to be unhappy about?

Being shy is being shy, being happy is being happy.

"Speak, are you willing to do so?"

"I just don't like it!"

"Then... Uncle has agreed!"

"Now it's free love and free marriage. It doesn't matter whose consent it is. I have to agree!"

"That won't work! I'll go downstairs and tell Uncle to cancel the deal..."

"Pfft...you're so annoying!"

Finally, she couldn't help laughing out loud, stretched her arms a little further away, held his face with both hands, rubbed it coquettishly, yet complacently, dotingly, and said, "Why are you so shameless!"

"Is it thick?"

"What a shame! You came to someone's house without even getting married or engaged, and you talked to her father about having children in the future... You are the most shameless person I have ever seen!"

"Then can we have children together in the future?"

She laughed again but was still very shy.

However, after staring into each other's eyes for a while, she gradually felt her heart melting with sweetness, so for some reason, she nodded, "Yeah."

Then she couldn't help but reach out to touch his face, his nose, his eyes, and said in a tone that was somewhat uncontrollable: "You are so shameless. You have already told my dad that, of course I will give birth to a baby for you!"

…………

"My father said that you have to let me give birth to a child for you!"

The same topic, Song Yuqian was so shy yesterday, but there was almost no embarrassment on Xie Xiaoyu's face today. Early in the morning, Cao Yukun drove himself to the Xie family's big villa in the countryside. After entering the door and meeting them, there was naturally some introduction and acquaintance. But Xie Xiaoyu quickly found an opportunity, and without feeling shy, she pulled Cao Yukun's hand and hid aside to talk in private.

She even felt particularly happy.

"Yes! You are my woman now, so of course you have to give birth to a baby for me! Are you happy?"

She nodded without hesitation, "Yeah, happy."

The cute and naive look of this silly girl always makes Cao Yukun feel itchy.

Looking around to see that there was no one around, he couldn't help but move closer and kiss her on the face. Xie Xiaoyu smiled secretly, also looking around to see that there was no one around, she stood on tiptoes to move closer to his face and kissed him back.

She was wearing a moon-white dress today, which showed off her extremely thin waist, plump chest, and made her skin look extremely white, tender and delicate - she was simply beautiful.

According to the previous agreement with his father-in-law Xie Zhaofang, Cao Yukun came to pick someone up today.

There is no matchmaker, no engagement, and no ceremony, but once the father-in-law and the son-in-law say something, today can basically be regarded as the official marriage of the two.

Such examples were not uncommon in Xizhou and Fuping areas in the past.

Not to mention times of war, even in times of peace, there were many traveling merchants who, after agreeing on a date with the girl's family, would drive a carriage or row a boat to the girl's house, drink three cups of wine, and then take the girl away. Merchants, especially small merchants, were often homeless. No one needed special notification or announcement, and they were unwilling to waste their precious capital on treating people to a meal. Over time, this custom of not attaching much importance to ceremony was naturally left behind.

Only those landowners and large farming families would attach particular importance to the ceremony.

Of course, times are different now, and both Xie Zhaofang and Cao Yukun are now among the top three wealthy families in the county. A marriage between the two families is certainly a big deal, and a three-day banquet is warranted.

But Cao Yukun didn't dare to show off, so he just stunned his father-in-law with the promise of the future, calculating that his father-in-law was actually a free and easy-going man, but Xie Zhaofang seemed to really not care about this.

Of course, just pick it up today.

However, Xie's mother and Xie Xiaoyu's older brother and younger brother all seemed unhappy.

Although they didn't show any displeasure—perhaps because they didn't dare to do so in front of Xie Zhaofang—they did have some anger on their faces.

Her elder brother, Cao Yukun, can be ignored. This guy has a terrible reputation in the county. When Cao Yukun was driving the county government's small fleet, he had heard countless bad things about him.

Lustful but cowardly, pretentious but incompetent, a gambler but afraid of being beaten...

The story that the old father-in-law had beaten him with a stick and made him lie in bed for more than a month was widely circulated in the county! In order to catch him, the old father-in-law personally brought more than 20 guns and more than 40 people to smash an underground casino in the county, which was even more legendary!

It is said that he smashed the casino, but the owner of the casino swore to him on the spot and became his sworn brother! Then he spread the word that whoever dared to let Xie Datong into the casino would be killed!
Although the man was sent to jail as a result of a crackdown more than a year later, Xie Datong was really scared and never dared to gamble again after that!

His wife was a technical secondary school student, and his father-in-law was a deputy director of the county transportation bureau. It was said that when the girl came to their house pregnant, he was scared and hid everywhere. Finally, Xie Zhaofang found him, interrogated him, and confirmed that the girl was indeed pregnant with their Xie family's child, so he forced him to marry her...

In short, let alone the current Cao Yukun, let alone the Cao Yukun of the past, in Fuping County, almost everyone would express disdain when mentioning this guy - almost to the level of stinking dog shit!

Of course, he is lucky to have a father who is both strong and rich and who is wealthy enough to protect him, so if you meet him in person, few people dare to look down on him.

Cao Yukun was also very respectful to his father-in-law and Xie Xiaoyu. He always called them "big brother" and offered them cigarettes.

Xie Dajun is also not a very outstanding person.

He is often held back. He is 20 years old and should be in his senior year at the start of the school year. This is not a big deal, but the key is that his father is Xie Zhaofang, what a powerful person. If a normal person has a father like him, he can hire a group of thugs in a high school just by spending money and become the boss. But he doesn't do that. In No. 1 Middle School, he is famous for being rich, timid, easy to bully, and able to eat, drink and smoke for free.

He had no impression of him at first, but after seeing him, Cao Yukun remembered that before in school, the original owner's horse, Red Hare, seemed to have beaten him twice and often took cigarettes from him.

This is easier to handle.

When he first entered the door, the boy had a sour face and looked like he was not willing to pay attention to me. I took the time to look at him deeply. The boy was almost scared to death and started to call me brother-in-law.

To be honest, neither of them looks like Xie Zhaofang's sons at all.

In other words, none of Comrade Xie's two sons and one daughter are like him.

No wonder after drinking too much, Mr. Xie couldn't help but complain. If he hadn't been so sure for so many years that it was his own child, he would really suspect that his wife was lying to him.

In his own words: What should I do? When I was young and ignorant, I married a woman because she was pretty. As a result, I gave birth to a bunch of bastards!

In comparison, although Xie Xiaoyu is simple-minded, he can be regarded as his most outstanding child.

But Old Xie was still very clear-headed and did not put on airs at all. Once he saw that Cao Yukun was a man who would dominate the world in the future, all the gifts, marriage certificates and ceremonies were not important. Before he had anything, Cao Yukun slept with his daughter and he was not angry. After getting what he deserved for his daughter, he released her directly without caring about the so-called respectability of the local tyrants and wealthy people.

Moreover, he raised his wine glass and said something that made Cao Yukun not know how to respond. "Look! A Kun, these two bastards are my sons. I admit it, but I can't stand them forever! Everyone is here today. From today on, I don't care whether you are the elder brother-in-law or the younger brother-in-law. You must listen to what A Kun says in the future! When he speaks, it's like talking to me! When I stretch my legs and meet the King of Hell one day in the future, you will listen to A Kun!"

After hearing this, Xie Datong and Xie Dajun, the two heroes of the Xie family, dared not say a word and just listened obediently.

But the mother-in-law's face looked even uglier.
