Chapter 64: Final Resolution

  The development of the matter was quite intense, but it did not exceed Zhao's father's expectations at all. Everything was within his expectation. And what happened next was even more wonderful than expected.

  Liu Fu's mind turned exceptionally fast after learning that his daughter's lover was a teacher at their school. In this era, teachers are still relatively in demand, and even more so for university teachers. He had to let him marry his daughter, especially since Liu Mei was pregnant with Ruan Feng's child.

  As for the means, Liu Fu has a way. The first step is naturally to have a talk with that little boy.

  Zhao Tong has been closely following the dynamics of the Liu family for the past few days, afraid of missing any news. Fortunately, recent developments have all been beneficial to his family, and Zhao's father has temporarily put down his hanging heart.

  Things took a turn for the better soon, as Liu Fu took action.

  Liu's father is not a fool either. When dealing with Zhao Tong, he directly used force to intimidate him, after all, they are a family without background. When dealing with Ruan Feng, who comes from a wealthy family, it's better to start with soft tactics, after all, when they get married in the future, there will be benefits to reap.

  Ruan Feng, sitting in the office, was sipping tea contentedly. He wore a pair of glasses with golden frames and looked like he was only in his early twenties. His suit was neatly pressed, giving off an air of elegance.

  At this moment, he was thinking of a new female classmate in the class, that little spicy look, it really made people drool. Try to probe first, anyway, I have to hook her up. As for Liu Mei, he wasn't tired of her yet, just hang on for now.

  Ruan Feng was having a wonderful dream of being surrounded by beauties, when the office door was pushed open. A student came in to report that someone was looking for him at the entrance.

  Ruan Feng felt strange, who was looking for him? He stood up, straightened his clothes, wiped his hair, and walked out. Along the way, the girls in gym class kept sneaking glances at him, staring like they were looking into a Western mirror.

  Ruan Feng felt exceptionally pleased with himself. He slowed down his pace while walking and even nodded and smiled at passersby who greeted him, truly a humble gentleman's demeanor.

  Arriving at the school gate, Ruan Feng stood still and looked around, seeing a man standing on the opposite side of the road. He hesitated for a moment, then saw the person across from him wave his hand, and quickly walked over.

  Ruan Feng did not know Liu Fu: "May I ask who you are?"

  "I am Liu Mei's father, your future father-in-law." Mr. Liu went straight to the point, without regard for the shock on the person in front of him.

  "Eh, Uncle, hello. May I ask what brings you here today?" Ruan Feng asked calmly.

  Ruan's mother didn't dare to reveal that she had gone to Liu Mei's house to cause trouble after being beaten. She only said that she had fallen and didn't dare tell the truth. So Ruan Feng had no idea that his own mother and future father-in-law had already clashed. Liu's father had already come knocking on their door.

  "Still so naive, huh? I came today to inform you that my daughter, Liu Mei, has told me everything about your relationship. I hope you can marry her before she gets pregnant."

  Ruan Feng suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and when the cool breeze blew, he shivered: "This... uncle, my parents have always disagreed with our relationship, and such a big thing as marriage can't be settled with just a few words. I'll go back and persuade my parents again, what do you think?" Ruan Feng asked tentatively.

  "Don't try to argue your way out of this. I still don't know what you're thinking, but I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice. You want to play dumb? Well, you'll have to taste the bitter wine since you won't drink the respectful one. It's time for me to show you some severity." Lǚ Fù's ferocious appearance was finally exposed, and he could no longer hide his wolf-like nature.

  Ruan Feng is the type who yields to the hard but resists the soft. A typical small-minded person who changes his tune according to the wind. Hearing what Liu Fu said, he knew things were not going well, this time he had met a tough opponent.

  "Uncle, can't we talk this over? You know as well. My money is all in my parents' hands, even if I want to get married myself, don't I need their permission too? Don't force me, I'll go back and persuade them. I'm absolutely sincere about Liu Mei, heaven can be my witness." Ruan Feng's eloquence was exceptional, his words were like a beautiful mess, his tone was convincing, and he really matched well with Liu Mei.

  Liu Fu saw that he spoke sincerely, and his feelings for Liu Mei seemed real too. He didn't want to pressure him too much: "I believe you this time, three days, I'll give you three days to give me an answer, otherwise let's wait and see."

  "Yes, yes, yes. I'll definitely give Uncle a satisfactory reply. You can go slowly and be careful on your way." The tone was flattering, almost as if she was about to kowtow to him.

  Liu's father raised his eyebrows and walked away with a sigh.

  Jian Liu's father left, Ruan Feng immediately straightened his waist, and his expression became very serious. He hastily went to school to ask for a leave of absence and rushed back home.

  My father and mother work in a factory, my father is the leader of the workshop, the head of the department. Usually at noon they go home for lunch, but I rarely go home.

  Ruan Feng returned home just in time for dinner, and everyone was there. His mother's face was still swollen, a deep red all over.

  "Son is back, just in time, we're having spare ribs at home, hurry up and take off your clothes." Mrs. Ruan really spoiled her son rotten.

  "Mom, stop what you're doing, I have something to say."

  Ruan's mother and father, who were sitting at the tea table drinking tea, both looked up at the same time, with a puzzled look in their eyes.

  Ruan Feng is also a big man, but still lets his parents help solve problems, it's a bit embarrassing. He sat down on the sofa with a plop: "What I want to say is about Liu Mei's matter, Liu Mei's dad came to find me today."

  "What?!" Madame Ruan's voice rose sharply, piercing the eardrums: "Your father has come looking for you again, this scoundrel, this ungrateful ghost, this..."

  She spoke with a big mouth, and both father and son stared at her. Mrs. Ruan couldn't keep words hidden, could she? She's spoken out of turn again.

  "What's going on? Speak clearly." Old Man Ruan was the head of the household, and his words carried weight at home. Upon hearing that there were internal issues, he widened his eyes in surprise.

  "I...I..." Having no choice, Mother had to add oil and vinegar to the story, of course, all the mistakes were on the other side, emphasizing how I was beaten by a group.

  After listening to Ruan's mother's account, everyone in the family grasped the key point, which is that not a single member of the Liu family is frugal, and they have also made up their minds about their own family.

  "You little rascal, look at the good things you've done." Mr. Ruan has absolute authority at home, and Ruan Feng doesn't dare to talk back at all.

  Looking at his son who can't even manage to keep his pants up, Old Ruan also knew about his bad habit. After thinking for a long time, he said: "This thing is indeed quite troublesome. I thought we were soft persimmons that could be pinched however one wanted. We need to think of a way, and cannot let him take advantage of us."

  My father is a old fox, with extremely high intelligence, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to climb to that position.

  Now I've encountered a rascal, and there are ways to deal with rascals. However, the law is very strict now, so it's not easy to take action, but that doesn't mean there's no way at all.

  "Alright, hand it over to me. You young fellow, stop causing trouble for me from now on. At your age, you're still making your parents worry all day." Mr. Ruan seemed confident.

  Ruan Feng nodded repeatedly, and was extremely admiring of his father.

  My father has some power and is familiar with the police station. Don't rascals fear officials?

  Liu Fu is not a fool either, and for so many years he has been tyrannizing with impunity, no one has been able to control him, and he can be considered to have mixed well.

  It's all about who has a higher wrist now, anyway, the more noise they make, the safer Zhao Tong and his family will be.

  The situation of the two families was no longer hidden from Zhao Tong's family, and the situation was developing in a more favorable direction. Song Jie's relatives all secretly let out a sigh of relief, hoping that this matter would end soon and their home would return to calm.

  Ruan's father's idea was not wrong, but he was a bit too careless. The day before, he had Liu's father sent to prison, and the next day he was released by someone else. This matter became Ruan's father's greatest regret, without exception.

  After being released from prison, the Ruan family suffered severe revenge from the Liu family.

  Liu Fu, having fallen out with them, no longer had any scruples. He gathered a group of people and went to Ruan Feng's school, spreading the news about Ruan Feng to everyone, and even beat him up.

  Due to the bad influence, Ruan Feng was expelled from school and forced to go home.

  Liu's father still knew his limits and didn't go to Ruan's factory to cause trouble. If both old men were fired, where would they go to enjoy the autumn breeze in the future? They still had some sense of propriety.

  As time went on, almost everyone knew about the troubles of the Ruan and Liu families. Ruan's leader had talked to him several times.

  Due to underestimation, the Ruan family was always in a passive state of being beaten and finally had no choice but to agree to marry Liu Mei into their home with a high dowry.

  As for what happened to the two families later on, the Zhao family didn't have time to bother with it anymore because the crisis had already passed. Whoever it was, there was no way they could pin anything else on the Zhao family's head.

  The dark clouds hovering over their heads suddenly dispersed, and the Zhao family was reborn, finally emerging from the shadow of this disaster.

  Having settled the matter, Zhao's father was overjoyed and his wife saw through it. After repeated questioning, Zhao's father told her about what had happened. Zhao's father was also scolded by his wife for being so secretive about such a big thing, but fortunately the storm has passed.

  Mrs. Zhao suggested inviting Yu Qian, Zhao Juan's classmate, to come over for dinner. They helped us so much, how can we not show our appreciation? Besides, Zhao Juan is about to have winter break, it's a good idea to get together too.

  At the end of November weekend, Zhao Juan led Yu Qian to her home, also bringing gifts. Yu Qian is a very straightforward person, and she agreed as soon as Zhao Juan asked her.

  Zhao's mother prepared a sumptuous dinner. Yu Qian was straightforward and generous, with a great sense of humor, and soon won the affection of the whole family.

  Zhao's mother kept urging everyone to eat, while Song Jie was too busy to take care of herself. Song Jie secretly rolled her eyes, thinking that she used to be the one being taken care of.

  However, she also likes Yu Qian's sunny personality, and it would be great if she could be her younger sister-in-law. In fact, Yu Qian is only one year older than Zhao Tong, and there are no objections to this aspect now. In Song Jie's opinion, they are quite a match, and if there is an opportunity, they can be matched together.

  Haven't you seen that your own little uncle's eyes are almost glued to someone else? Zhao Tong originally had a good impression of Qian, and after seeing her in person, his good impression skyrocketed. During dinner, he kept sneaking glances at her, and even became less talkative.
