RESLW Chapter 22

Chapter 22 Both Families Doesn’t Agree with Each Other’s Partner

   “Eldest Sister, I won’t break up with Yezi. I like her and she likes me too. Nowadays, people are free to choose their own marriage partner. You all can’t interfere with it.”

   Although Cheng Bin has a gentle and refined appearance, he is actually a famous ruffian in Dongguan. If it hadn’t because he is in a relationship with Li Mingye, he would not have been so polite to Li Mingyun.

   “Cheng Bin, if you really are sincere towards Yezi, you shouldn’t pester her instead. She still has a long way to go in the future!”

   “Eldest sister, how do you know that Yezi will not have a good life with me?” Cheng Bin was anxious, “The Eldest Brother-in-law was from the countryside but didn’t you also marry him? The Second Older Brother-in-law’s family was also registered as a countryside’s household. Didn’t the Second Older Sister also marry him? Can it be that my vegetable team household registration does not match you guys’ farmer household registration? You look down too much on others. “

   Li Mingyun was stunned for a moment. Cheng Bin used the family’s registration account as a comparison, meaning that even both of his two Brother-in-laws were not as good as him, so why can’t he marry Li Mingye then?

   “Cheng Bin, your two Brother-in-laws really are different from you. Even though they are all registered as the farmer’s household but they all have solid works. What about you? What do you do all day? We are all in the same Dongguan. Who doesn’t know other’s ins and outs?

   Cheng Bin was panting with rage, “After I married Yezi, I will also work hard.”

   “Anyhow, I won’t believe it, and also can’t see through that.” Li Mingyun took a deep breath. “Cheng Bin, you’d better think about it carefully. Don’t pester my family’s Yezi anymore in the future.”

   “Hey, saying that my son is pestering your younger sister. Why don’t you say that it is your younger sister who is pestering my son?”

   The one who talked was Old Braid, Cheng Bin’s mother. The reason why she is called Old Braid was because she always had her hair done in two thick and black braids when she was young. That’s how she got this nickname, and has been called so for decades. From Small Braid to Old Braid, and is also a well-known figure to every household in Dongguan, and also a really hard to deal with fellow.

   Old Braid came out of the house and saw Cheng Bin talking with Li Mingyun. However, as soon as she got close, she heard what Li Mingyun said, and she couldn’t help but speak out.

   When she heard Old Braid said this, Li Mingyun was so angry. Her own younger sister, how could she not know?

   “Auntie, who doesn’t know that it was your family’s Cheng Bin who has taken a fancy to my younger sister, has been pestering my younger sister and doesn’t want to let go of her. Don’t you feel ashamed to have said that?”

   “I’m not ashamed! My son is very good-looking. Who does your younger sister think she is? Never mind that your family didn’t take a fancy to my family’s Xiao Bin, even my family still hasn’t taken a fancy to your family’s Yezi yet! “

   Old Braid’s words caused Cheng Bin’s displeasure and made him stamp his feet. “Mom, I like Yezi. I didn’t want to just become a couple with her but I also want to marry her and have a good life in the future. Can you be more polite when you are speaking with Eldest Sister? With you behaving this way, how can I get along with the Yezi in the future?”

   “Is this ‘a grown up son won’t obey the mother anymore’ ? Mom just only said a word but you already protect her like this? If you really marry Yezi, will your mother still have a good life? “

   Old Braid was also angry. Of her three sons, only Xiao Bin is the best-looking one. Although he has no job, it does not prevent him from being liked by girls. Li Mingye’s appearance is only so-so, and her family qualifications are not that good either. She is actually not worthy of her baby son. From the beginning, she already didn’t approve of the two of them becoming a couple, let alone getting married.

   “Li Mingyun, I’ll only talk this much today. My family’s Xiao Bin won’t marry your family’s Yezi. Take better watch of your younger sister and don’t let them have more contact with each other.”

   Once she heard this, Li Mingyun became even more angrier, “You better first watch your family’s Cheng Bin well before you said that.” Done saying that, she wanted to quickly leave this place. It was meaningless to quarrel with people such as Old Braid.

   Who knows that Old Braid will suddenly block in front of her, “What about my family’s Cheng bin? You talked about him like that, on what basis?”

   “Your family’s Cheng Bin is very good, my family’s Yezi can not afford to climb that high. This should do it, right?”

   Li Mingyun is really offended now. Since the two families are unwilling, then why should they still stay as a couple? What’s more, originally her family didn’t agree with it too.

   “Of course. My family’s Xiao Bin has good qualifications. Unlike your family, with a lot of daughters there’s also a lot more burdens too. I don’t want Xiao Bin to bear hardships and be inconvenienced after marrying your family’s Yezi.”

   Old Braid is also telling the truth. Her family is registered as a vegetable team household, their house has vegetable fields, and they also got distributed grains in the team. However, Li Mingyun’s family has a farmer household registration, has to till land and pay an agricultural tax in form of grain. The family only has daughters and no able-bodied male labor. When it was the time to plant and harvest grain, they would definitely have to trouble the sons-in-laws for help……Xiao Bin is her most precious son. Till today, she never expected Xiao Bin to work in the field. If he really married Li Mingye, he would have to help his Father-in-law’s family to work in the field!

   Based on this matter alone, she already could not agree.

   Cheng Bin was anxious, “This is a matter between me and Yezi, none of you can interfere with it!”

   One is his mother, the other is Yezi’s eldest sister. All of them are their close relatives, but no one approves his relationship with Yezi. He is so mad! Even if there was only one head that supported him, that’s fine too. Now, both the two heads don’t want to support him, he is madly angry.

   “Xiao Bin, quickly break up with Yezi. Mom will find you a better one.”

   This is really a biological mother. To say a thing like this is really adding fuel into the fire.

   Cheng Bin groaned angrily. If he really ends up breaking up with Yezi, his mother has to bear half of the responsibility! Usually, others’ families will be polite towards the bride’s side. His mother, saying this kind of thing, let alone Li Mingyun who would be angry, others who heard this will also not be happy.

   “Mom, oh, Mom. I’m begging you. Can we say less?”

   “What’s the matter? I don’t think Li Mingye is worthy of you at all. It’s not as if she, Li Mingye, has the appearance like that of a celestial being, but she can make your mind clouded already? “

   Of course, Li Mingyun heard it all with her stomach full of anger. Daughters from the Li’s family are all not bad-looking. Although Yezi is not the most outstanding among the sisters, she is not that far behind too. Old Braid said so, naturally she would retort back, “Then, I congratulate you in advance, wishing for your family’s Cheng Bin to find a fairy wife.”

   “Hmph, as long as your younger sister doesn’t pester my family’s Xiao Bin, he will definitely find a more beautiful wife than her!”

   Li Ming was so angry that she just turned around and left.

   Cheng Bin hurriedly trying to catch up with her, “Eldest Sister, Eldest Sister, don’t listen to my mother’s careless speech, she is talking nonsense.”

   “Mom didn’t talk nonsense. Anyway, our family won’t allow you to marry Li Mingye. You better have less contact with her in the future. “

   “Mom, what are you doing! If Yezi ignores me, I won’t let the matter drop here with you! “

   Cheng Bin left this sentence and chased Li Mingyun while panting with rage, “Eldest Sister, wait a minute. Eldest Sister, listen to me first.”

   Old Braid yelled angrily from the back end, “Xiao Bin, I’m telling you to come back here. Don’t lose our family’s face anymore !”

   “My own matters, you can’t interfere with!”

   Cheng Bin ran fast, the original three steps turned into only two steps, catching up with Li Mingyun, “Elder Sister, my mother’s words are not worth listening to. What she had said is not what I had in mind, please don’t have a crooked thought.”

   “I don’t dare to have crooked thought. Your family is in the vegetable team. My family’s Yezi is not compatible with you!”

   Old Braid had caught up, and simply wanted to pull Cheng Bin back. “You come back with me. Have you never seen a woman or what? Can’t you even find a wife in Dongguan that you must find one from Beiguan? Which one of them has good qualifications?”

   The situation at this time was, Cheng Bin grabbed Li Mingyun, and Old Braid pulled Cheng Bin. When seen from afar, it looked as if the three people were fighting!

   Mei Xiaoran had finished her morning self-study and left the school, walked to the city moat’s bridge and happened to see this scene.

   Someone dares to bully their mother. How can she hold it?

    I know that this is a serious scene for all involved, but as an outsider it just looked hilarious to me for some reason. Probably the schadenfreude.
