Chapter 042 Face-to-face communication (2)
Liu Xinyu was burned by Zhang Hongliang's gaze, and she took a step back with a movement of her feet. She coughed lightly and said, "Brother Zhang, you can't say that. If someone hears what you say, they will think that I am inciting you to be an unfilial son!"
"
Zhang Hongliang's eyes flashed, and he felt a little embarrassed by his sudden lapse. He pulled his lips and showed an expression that looked like a smile but not a smile.
"By the way, let's talk about our engagement." Liu Xinyu didn't want to miss this opportunity to communicate face to face. Of course, she didn't intend to continue talking about things. There must be a consensus on the engagement, so she directly brought the topic back to the engagement.
.
"Okay, you say." Zhang Hongliang nodded.
Liu Xinyu glanced at Zhang Hongliang, lowered her eyes and said softly: "First of all, I want to know what Brother Zhang really thinks about this engagement. I hope that Brother Zhang can be honest."
Zhang Hongliang was surprised again.
He always thought that Liu Xinyu valued this engagement very much and could even protect it with his life.
He called out to call off the engagement in front of so many people that day. In his opinion, it was completely forced by the situation, and of course it was also because of low self-esteem.
But Liu Xinyu's attitude at this moment gave him the feeling that she was more unwilling to accept the engagement than he was.
Was it because of the dream that he had preconceived ideas?
Probably not!
From what his younger siblings and sister-in-law said, they all expressed that Liu Xinyu liked him. Even Wu Qiaozhen said that Liu Xinyu liked him very much.
So what went wrong?
Could it be that Liu Xinyu was testing him?
But Liu Xinyu's expression was very calm, her eyes were calm, and her tone was solemn. It didn't seem like she was testing him at all. She really wanted to know his true thoughts on the engagement.
Zhang Hongliang breathed a sigh of relief at Liu Xinyu's attitude, but a trace of unhappiness slowly surged into his heart.
Since Liu Xinyu wants to be honest, then let her do what she wishes!
Zhang Hongliang is ready to come clean and tell the truth.
Just standing at the entrance of the village and saying it is not a problem. Although it is already the dead of night, there is no guarantee that no one will show up.
Zhang Hongliang pointed to the hillside not far away, where Liu Qingshan's tomb is located.
Liu Xinyu thought about it and thought it would be a good idea to sit there.
This engagement came about because Liu Qingshan saved people, so why not make it clear in front of Liu Qingshan's grave.
"Can we walk without a flashlight?" Perhaps considering that the light of the flashlight would reveal their whereabouts, Zhang Hongliang looked up at the sky and down at the road under his feet, and asked with some worry.
It is cloudy today, and a crescent moon is looming in the clouds. It is indeed a bit dark for ordinary people.
However, Liu Xinyu has the inheritance of Liu Qingshan and her eyesight is quite good. Even if there is no hazy moonlight, it is no problem for her.
"I can walk. I have been practicing kung fu with my dad since I was a child, and my eyesight is pretty good." Liu Xinyu simply put the flashlight back into the bag.
The two came to the graves of Liu Qingshan and his wife on the hillside.
Liu Xinyu reached out and brushed the tombstone, feeling a slight warmth in her palm.
Although she knew it was because of the hot weather, she felt that it was Liu Qingshan and his wife who were greeting her.
A sour and astringent feeling overflowed and spread in my heart, and mist slowly rose in my eyes, shining brightly under the dim moonlight.
Zhang Hongliang bowed seriously to the tomb, and after Liu Xinyu's mood stabilized a bit, he pointed to the rocks beside the tomb.
The two sat down on the rock and were silent for a moment. Then Zhang Hongliang spoke: "In front of Uncle Qingshan, I dare not tell lies. Knowing that Uncle Qingshan saved my father and two younger brothers, I couldn't say no in my heart.
Thank you so much, I wish I was the one buried!
The moment I learned that my father had promised me out, my mind was blank, and then I resisted. I even complained to Uncle Qingshan in my heart, feeling that Uncle Qingshan was trying to repay the favor..."
Liu Xinyu sat quietly, her eyes falling on Liu Qingshan's tombstone, without any anger or unwillingness.
If there was anything in her eyes, it was the occasional flash of distress that was hard to detect.
Who is she feeling sorry for?
She must feel sorry for the original Liu Xinyu!
Zhang Hongliang profoundly explained his thoughts on this engagement, and also explained to Liu Xinyu why he avoided Ma Li, which can be regarded as sincere, but he did not mention the nightmare that had haunted him for several days.
After saying everything he thought he could say, Zhang Hongliang stood up and bowed deeply and respectfully to Liu Qingshan's grave again.
Liu Xinyu silently digested Zhang Hongliang's words in her heart.
Now that Zhang Hongliang’s sincerity has arrived, the next step is her attitude and sincerity.
"I don't know how Yunyun told you, but I can guess that she must have told you that she is very happy with this marriage." Liu Xinyu touched her nose awkwardly. Starting from Zhang Hongyun's words, she felt that there should be no
So embarrassing.
Zhang Hongliang nodded in affirmation.
The attitude of everyone in the family towards this marriage contract was clearly revealed in front of him.
Of course Zhang Hongyun said many good things about Liu Xinyu in his ears.
In Zhang Hongyun's eyes, Liu Xinyu has almost no shortcomings. The squeamishness that Wu Qiaozhen and Zhang Hongxia complained about can actually be beautified into femininity.
What I hear most these days is Liu Xinyu's cowardice and inability to do anything.
The brief contact told him that Liu Xinyu was not squeamish at all and was very capable. She knew a lot of things. Today it was an eye-opener for him that she, a girl, could actually put a cage to catch eels. Although she hadn't seen the harvest yet, she
He is very familiar with the action of placing the cage, and he is also very knowledgeable in choosing the location to place the cage.
Also, the fish we ate at home yesterday was said to have been caught by Liu Xinyu from the creek. Although he had not seen it with his own eyes, Zhang Hongliang had already believed it 100% by placing the cage in it.
If he couldn't fuck such a girl, he didn't know what kind of girl could.
But it seems that Liu Xinyu really doesn’t know how to do farm work!
From this perspective, it really cannot be considered too capable.
It is said that Liu Xinyu is squeamish, but from following her to the hillside just now, we can see that she is really not squeamish.
Liu Xinyu's squeamishness is probably just a smoke bomb because Liu Qingshan doesn't want Liu Xinyu to be looked at too early.
Zhang Hongliang couldn't help but feel a little distracted, while Liu Xinyu continued to express her sincerity: "No matter what others say, or even the thoughts I have expressed before, there is a reason why I agreed to hold this engagement banquet. I don't want to let my
Grandma is sad.
They had just endured the sadness of a white-haired man giving a black-haired man a gift. In their view, our engagement was bought with my father's life. To cancel the engagement would be a blasphemy against my father's life.
So for the time being, I will aggrieve Brother Zhang and let my father and grandma take their time. Then we can discuss it with them carefully. It will be a matter of time before we break off the engagement.
Two years at most will definitely not delay Brother Zhang for too long.
Brother Zhang, do you think this is okay?"
Liu Xinyu's words made Zhang Hongliang a little stunned.
Is she the roundworm in his belly?
