Chapter 1024 Looking for a Fight
Although Mr. Xu was old, his mind moved very quickly, and he immediately expressed the idea of substitution.
Xu Zhaoming was stunned, looking at his grandfather, his mouth was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth: "Grandpa, why do you have such an idea? Isn't this bad? How rude."
Today, his family obviously went to Gu Jinan, but now that Gu Jinan couldn't succeed, he chose another person to come again. This is too... If people find out, where will his family's face be put?
How could he face An Geer and the others? After the county examination results were released, he really wanted to make friends with them.
"What's wrong with my thinking? Is it embarrassing? Didn't you say that Gu Jinan was attracted by the Zheng family and asked me not to compete with the Zheng family?" Mr. Xu was unhappy. He was already unhappy that Gu Jinan couldn't find him. Now, Just to change the choice, my grandson is not happy: "You are forcing me to compete with the Zheng family for someone!"
Xu Zhaoming has a headache. Isn't it a joke that you always say this? Even if I really force you, do you dare to rob someone from the Zheng family?
After Mr. Xu showed off his quick talk, he asked Xu Zhaoming: "The Zheng family really likes Gu Jin'an? Do you plan to match him with a daughter of the Zheng family? A direct branch or a side branch?"
When asked, he was obviously still not convinced.
Xu Zhaoming sighed: "Grandpa, you are always smarter than my grandson. You know that wealthy families hide half of what they say. If Mr. Zheng can speak like this, the Zheng family really likes An Geer."
As for the direct branch or the side branch, don't ask. Even if it is just a side branch, its status is hundreds of times better than that of the Xu family.
After hearing this, Mr. Xu looked very unhappy... This promising young man was in high demand, and even wealthy families were interested in him.
Thinking of this, he scolded Xu Ling again: "Look at you, you really are blind to gold and jade. That Gu Jinan is a young man that even the Zheng family likes. You dare to dislike it. I'm really going to be pissed off by you." .”
Xu Ling was still aggrieved and cried: "What good is Gu Jinan? Even if he can marry the daughter of the Zheng family, the Gu family cannot immediately become a wealthy family. He is still a farmer. If he wants to be truly prosperous, he must at least be richer. Three generations!”
Everyone in the world pays attention to the honor of their grandparents. If your grandfather was a farmer, others will still laugh at you. You are a fake nobleman wearing gold clothes and having mud on his legs.
Then he said to Mr. Xu: "Grandpa, your granddaughter knows what you want. It's really not good for the Gu family. You should marry your granddaughter to a high family, into a noble family. In this way, you can have a daughter in no time without three generations." If a son from an aristocratic family becomes our grandson-in-law, our family will immediately become the in-laws of a wealthy family."
After hearing this, Mr. Xu was shocked. He looked at Xu Ling and saw the proud look on her face. He was so angry that he hit her hard with the cane in his hand.
"Ah!" Xu Ling screamed in pain and looked at his grandfather in disbelief, tears welling up in his eyes: "Grandpa, you, you hit me?"
Then he yelled: "Why do you beat me? Am I wrong? What's wrong with me wanting to marry well? Do you know how powerful Jiangnan people are? If I don't marry a noble family, those official ladies won't even look at it. When I go to a banquet, they treat me like a maid, I don’t want to live like this anymore!”
It was so frustrating, she wanted to get ahead.
Mr. Xu was so angry that his hands were shaking. He pointed at Xu Ling and said, "You also know about the influence of Jiangnan people? You also know that the ladies from the official family look down on you? Then why do you think you can marry into a noble family? That noble family is better than the official family. You also need to pay attention to family status.”
Mr. Xu was really laughing to death. He didn't know how his second granddaughter's brain grew. She knew that the ladies from the official family looked down on her, so how could a son from a wealthy family fall in love with her?
Where did she get the confidence to think she could marry into a wealthy family? Do you dream of marrying her?
"Even if a noble family member falls in love with you, you are just a concubine at best. If you want to marry her and become your wife, that is just a dream!" Mr. Xu knew that his second granddaughter was dazzled by the extraordinary status of the wealthy family, so he was merciless Said: "Except for the daughters of high-ranking officials, the only people who can be married to the sons of aristocratic families as their official wives are girls from aristocratic families. For an ordinary rich girl like you in a small county town, others will look down upon you as a concubine!"
Xu Ling was shocked. She raised her head and looked at Mr. Xu with tears in her eyes: "Grandpa, how could you say that to me?"
She is the only daughter of the Xu family, and her status is more valuable than the daughters of the other two families. Her brother has just been admitted to the Tongsheng School and will definitely be an official in the future. The Xu family relies on her brother to change the family. Her grandfather actually belittles her like this. ?
Mr. Xu sneered: "Don't pretend to be confused, old man. Since you know that the official ladies in Jiangnan look down on you, you should know that the rich and powerful people in the aristocratic family also look down on you. Wake up quickly, don't do such a big thing again Meng, if you harm the Xu family, I will marry you away from home."
Girl Ling was so courageous that she dared to talk back to him even while she was kneeling in the ancestral hall. Mr. Xu believed that if he didn't discipline her, she would do something scandalous in order to marry into a noble family.
When Xu Ling heard this, she was scared and angry. She cried and shouted: "You just look down on me and favor Xu Zhong and the others. You keep waiting. One day I will let you know that the most promising member of the Xu family is Who is the granddaughter?!”
But just as she finished speaking, Mr. Xu's cane came down, hitting Xu Ling hard: "You unrepentant thing, I will wake you up today!"
She actually said that he was partial to Zhong Yatou and the others? The whole house knew that he favored the eldest family and gave him all the good things. The grandchildren of the second eldest family were the most aggrieved.
But what he got for his partiality was Xu Ling's heart-breaking words. Mr. Xu really wanted to beat himself up. He really doted on his elders so much that he pampered them all to the point of being lawless.
Xu Ling was beaten, screaming and crying.
Seeing this, Xu Er and his wife rushed over in a hurry. Xu Er held Mr. Xu's cane and said, "Dad, please stop hitting her. Ling girl is delicate, but she can't bear your beating. She will be broken." .”
Xu's second daughter-in-law also protected Xu Ling and said, "Dad, girl Ling knows she is wrong. You can punish her to kneel in the ancestral hall. This girl's family cannot be beaten like this."
If you leave scars and come to your husband's house in the future, you will be disliked by your husband. This will last a lifetime.
Mr. Xu usually doesn't discipline his granddaughter. Today, Xu Ling was so angry that he started to beat her. When he saw his second son and his wife coming out to plead for mercy, he stopped and said to Xu Ling, who was trembling with fear: "For the sake of you For the sake of intercession from my second uncle and my second aunt, I will remember this beating for you."
but……
"You have made a big mistake but you still don't repent. I will punish you by kneeling in the ancestral hall for three days and three nights to apologize to your ancestors." Mr. Xu wanted to teach Xu Ling well once and for all, so he specifically told Xu's second daughter-in-law: "No one is allowed to feed her when she is hungry." Just give her food and some water to drink. If you indulge her and let her continue to be stupid, you will be harming her."
