Chapter 171 - Rejection of Marriage

pottery father and pottery mother were initially working in the fields, but when they heard that Lu Yu had returned, they were both pleasantly surprised. However, at the same time, they were a little curious as to why she had returned home so early. The two hurriedly packed their stuff and went home to check on the situation.

After returning home, she found that Tao Chu Liang had locked himself in his room. When the two of them went in to ask her questions, she looked like he was ignoring them, and his expression was not good either.

"Meeting the Little Girl, what's wrong with you? Was it because the training wasn't going well? Why does my face look so bad? " pottery father asked Tao Chu Liang who was sitting on the edge of the bed.

Tao Chu Liang looked at pottery father and the pottery mother tiredly, and said weakly: "Dad, mom, the training had ended earlier, I was rushing back, I'm a little tired, I'll be fine after a rest."

pottery father and pottery mother could only give up. However, when night came, they realized that Tao Chu Liang still did not eat much and only toyed with his food symbolically.

pottery father suddenly thought of something and casually asked: "Meeting the Little Girl, that Mr. Xiang hasn't been here for a long time right?"

Tao Chu Liang was startled, he did not know why pottery father would suddenly ask about this, but she did not look well. These two days, she had been forcing himself not to think about Xiang Chen Xi again, but they had to mention Xiang Chen Xi as well.

"Dad, mom, I'm full. You guys take your time and eat." Tao Chu Liang put down his tableware and returned back to his room.

pottery father frowned and said to pottery mother: "Could it be that this girl has really fallen for that brat?"

pottery mother sighed and said, "It looks like it, what should we do? This is not a solution even if you don't want to eat or drink it. "

"It seems that we can only do as the village chief says …"

pottery mother glanced at Tao Chu Liang's room, his eyes looking extremely pitiful: "The little girl that followed us, indeed suffered a lot, I hope she will never know about this secret."

"He's a good girl, but the children in the village need her, and I'm sure she'll understand." pottery father's expression was serious.

The next day, a person came to Tao Chu Liang's house, who was the person the village chief had specified to marry, Zhao Jing.

Zhao Jing had come to propose. In their little mountain village, they still followed the rituals of the older generation. When they were getting married, the man still had to bring a betrothal gift and come knocking on the door to propose marriage.

Zhao Jing was the young man with the best family background in the entire New Moon Village. She was twenty-seven years old, and logically speaking, she should have long been married in the village. This was because Zhao Jing had travelled extensively a few years ago, and her horizons was much higher than the villagers. She did not like the girls in this village.

Now that Zhao Jing returned to the village, she built a three story building in her own plot of land. She did the business of a breeding ground in the town, and the poultry raised were all meant for going to the city.

When the Village Chief told Zhao Jing about Tao Chu Liang at the beginning, Zhao Jing did not agree, but he secretly observed Tao Chu Liang and discovered that he was indeed as everyone said. His beauty was moving, his knowledge was vast, and his personality was also gentle. He would be a good partner, so Zhao Jing was moved.

After hearing that Tao Chu Liang had already come back from training in the capital, Zhao Jing had made the decision last night to come over personally to propose marriage. So today, Zhao Jing appeared at Tao Chu Liang's home near noon.

pottery father looked up and was shocked at Zhao Jing.

Zhao Jing immediately laughed: "Uncle Lu, I came here today to discuss the marriage with Xiao Yu."

When pottery father heard it, he was overjoyed and immediately shouted, "Girl! "Little girl's mom, little Jingjing is here!"

pottery mother was busy in the kitchen, upon hearing this, she wiped her hands on her apron and immediately rushed out. Seeing that it was indeed Zhao Jing who was grinning from ear to ear.

"Little Jing, hurry and sit inside the house!" The pottery mother hurriedly gestured for Zhao Jing to enter the house.

"Meeting the Little Girl, Meeting the Little Girl?" pottery father shouted two times into the house, but when Tao Chu Liang did not respond, pottery father shot him a glance.

pottery mother walked into the room and brought Tao Chu Liang out. Although Tao Chu Liang did not want to see anyone right now, it would be too disrespectful if he did not come out immediately.

In the living room, Zhao Jing looked at Tao Chu Liang carefully with a smile on his face: "Xiao Yu, it's me Zhao Jing." When Zhao Jing saw that Tao Chu Liang had come out, he was overjoyed. Seeing her wife who was about to enter the sect, she felt a little embarrassed.

Tao Chu Liang lifted his head to look at Zhao Jing. Her bronze colored skin was the normal skin color of a rural youth. Zhao Jing's facial features were very straight, which would have been considered good looking youth in the village. Tao Chu Liang forced a smile as a form of greeting.

Seeing Tao Chu Liang like that, Zhao Jing thought that she was embarrassed and didn't mind. When Zhao Jing looked at Tao Chu Liang from afar, he felt that she was still very beautiful. Although his face looked a little pale, Tao Chu Liang's warm appearance still made him happy.

Seeing that, the pottery mother immediately pulled Zhao Jing's hand and said: "Little Jing, today is our family's lunch, Auntie will immediately bring the food over for you to sit down on, you guys continue chatting." The pottery father also followed the pottery mother to Zhang Luo, leaving Tao Chu Liang and Zhao Jing alone in the hall.

As the two sat facing each other, although Tao Chu Liang did not hate Zhao Jing, he still looked absent-minded.

"Xiao Yu, I'll bring you to town tomorrow to play." Zhao Jing probed.

Tao Chu Liang was stunned for a moment, then said: "Big Brother Zhao Jing, I'll be teaching the children tomorrow, I can't play outside with you anymore."

Zhao Jing laughed and revealed her white teeth: "Oh, so it's like this. Alright then, I'll bring you out another day. "Oh right, just call me Ah Jing."

For a moment, the two of them had nothing to say. Tao Chu Liang felt a little awkward, so he said evasively: "Ah jing, I'll go and help mother prepare dinner." With that, he did not bother with Zhao Jing anymore, and directly went to the kitchen.

After a while, pottery father returned with a bottle of white spirit wine in his hands. pottery mother and Tao Chu Liang had finished preparing the food, and the two of them started to carry the dishes to the hall. pottery father nodded his head, feeling that they seemed like a family now.

After the meal, the four of them sat by the table.

pottery father poured a cup of white wine for Zhao Jing as the two of them continued to eat their meals and drink their wine. pottery father asked: "Little Jing, this time when you come back, you won't go out again right?"

Zhao Jing nodded her head: "En, this time when I return, I will be preparing to run the breeding grounds in the town. It would be better if I don't go out and stay at home, I can also spend more time with my parents and grandparents."

"He's a filial child. Come, have more dishes." pottery mother smiled as she served the dishes to Zhao Jing. Zhao Jing thanked him profusely.

After a while, the two men drank together and drank quite a bit. Then, Zhao Jing looked at Tao Chu Liang and suddenly said: "Uncle, Auntie, you two should know why I am here today. Look, the marriage between me and Xiao Yu … When would it be more appropriate? I'll get ready earlier. "

When he said that, Tao Chu Liang opened his eyes wide, he did not think that he would bring up this matter so straightforwardly. But pottery father and pottery mother were grinning from ear to ear.

"Great!" Since both of you have no objections, your aunt and I will flip through the calendar and settle it as soon as possible! " pottery father said straightforwardly.

"Dad!" Tao Chu Liang suddenly put down his bowl and chopsticks, and shouted loudly, causing everyone to be stunned.

pottery father felt a burst of unease in his heart. He asked Tao Chu Liang: "Girl, what's wrong?"

Tao Chu Liang felt a wave of nausea, he couldn't eat anymore. Although she didn't want to go against his parents, he couldn't marry his just because she said so.

Tao Chu Liang said expressionlessly: "Dad, Mom, I haven't thought about this yet, let's talk about it in the future."

pottery father's and pottery mother's faces instantly turned unsightly. Since Tao Chu Liang had arrived at their house, he had never touched their faces like he did today. No one spoke at the table at that moment.

Seeing that, Zhao Jing sensed that the situation was not right, and laughed: "Xiao Yu is right, I was too anxious, and did not think it through, and so we can still try to get along. If not, I can wait."

Tao Chu Liang didn't think that Zhao Jing would actually say such a thing, and couldn't help but look at him again, thinking that he was actually not an unreasonable person. It was just that because of the matters with Xiang Chen Xi, Tao Chu Liang was in a really bad mood, and was completely not in the mood to think about marriage. Furthermore, she did not want to marry to Zhao Jing.

Although Xiang Chen Xi had injured her, she knew clearly in her heart that he had loved him.

When the pottery father and pottery mother heard Zhao Jing's words, they did not speak anymore. Due to Tao Chu Liang's attitude, the pressure on them decreased by a lot.

After a meal, Zhao Jing left and said that she would come back another day.

"Little girl, what are you thinking? Zhao Jing is a good child, you saw it yourself. Your mother and I also believe that when you marry him, he will definitely treat you well. pottery father was slightly dissatisfied.

Tao Chu Liang only felt tired and asked back: "Dad, mom, do you really want me to get married?"

Hearing that, the pottery father became extremely angry. Tao Chu Liang had always been a very obedient and obedient person, but today his words and actions were so weird. He could not help but berate. Don't think that I can't see it. The moment that surnamed Xiang left, he took your soul away as well! "You need to see clearly that you and him are two different people. How could he possibly like you?"

These few words, every word stabbed at Tao Chu Liang's sore spot, causing her eyes to instantly turn red.

pottery mother quickly advised: "Little girl, your parents can see through your thoughts, but your father's words are reasonable. Think about it carefully."

Not wanting to cry in front of his parents, Tao Chu Liang turned around and returned to his room. At this moment, she felt helpless. She didn't know what to do. Of course she knew the disparity in status between her and Xiang Chen Xi. She had always thought that Xiang Chen Xi was about to get married. However, she couldn't let it go.

Recalling the bits and pieces of him together with Xiang Chen Xi, Tao Chu Liang felt that everything was yesterday.
