Chapter 91 Forced Marriage
"Old Li, you keep looking at the sheep pen. Are you going to eat goat eggs as an extra lunch?"

"My ladies saw Lao Li's son-in-law coming to visit him. He was killing a sheep to entertain him."

"Old Li, do you need someone to help?"

"No, let's sit on the kang and watch TV for a while and have a drink at noon."

Father Li finished rejecting all the neighbors and stepped into the sheepfold.

After a while, a black goat was dragged to the open space in front of the kitchen. "Xiao Wei, where is the hammer?" Father Li shouted.

"Dad, where did you lose it?" Li Wei asked through the window, and Li Xing had already left the house with a hammer.

Jiang Liu had seen pigs being killed before, and this was the first time he saw sheep being killed. He followed Li Xin out of the house with great interest.

When he appeared, he instantly became the brightest boy in the audience, attracting a lot of attention like a big star.

Li Xin was well-known in the village, Yongji County and even Ji City. How could the neighbors not be curious about who Li Xin had found and what Jiang Liu was like.

Compared with Li Xin, who was born and raised here, and was shy when meeting his uncles and neighbors, Jiang Liu behaved more like a local.

"Smoking, smoking."

"21, it will take a few more months to reach the legal age for marriage."

"Where is your hometown?"

"It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of it from Jiangdu, my hometown. Anyway, it's from that corner of Jiangsu Province. You know that Han Xin and Wu Cheng'en, the author of "Journey to the West" are from Jiangdu, so you have read a lot of books."

Li Xun couldn't stand it anymore and said to Jiang Liu, "Stop talking and pinch your legs for my dad."

"Pinch your dad's legs?"

Jiang Liu was a little confused. Some of the neighbors who were watching laughed and pointed Jiang Liu to "grab the leg of the lamb to stop the sheep from moving around." Some neighbors took the initiative to press the sheep.

There is no difference between killing a sheep and killing a pig. They are both knocked unconscious and bled, and the hair is removed with hot water.

Father Li used the hammer very skillfully. With one blow, the sheep was stunned. With another stab, the sheep's blood flowed into the iron basin that had been set up.

It was neither a year nor a holiday, and the Li family's act of killing sheep quickly attracted many people to watch, and even more people saw the Li family's son-in-law.

Everyone had a good impression of Jiang Liu.

The young man is good-looking, tall, and not intimidated by others. He can speak well when he opens his mouth.

I don’t know about the financial strength, but at least they came by car. Some young people who know cars said that the car in the open space of Li’s family is called Jinbei Ge Ruisi, which is very expensive, costing more than 20 to [-] yuan.

A dozen or two hundred thousand yuan is an astronomical figure for rural people, or even for more than half of the people in the city.

For a while, everyone praised Li Xin for being discerning and staying up to the end.

Thinking back to the time when Li Xing married to Yongji County in order to refuse the marriage arranged by Mr. and Mrs. Li, it was really a knife to the neck.

At first, many neighbors couldn't understand that their daughter would have to get married when she got older, and her parents had chosen a good family, so why should they be dissatisfied.

Now when I look at it, it turns out that it is young people and scholars who are discerning. Li Xin personally found someone from the capital city.

After watching the slaughter of the sheep, Jiang Liu stopped watching the hair removal and chopping of the mutton. He went straight back to the big house and lay down on the kang to watch TV.

Li Xun saw Jiang Liu's behavior and looked at the village children who were looking at the strange things from the windows. He couldn't help but laughed and said, "Why do you look like an old fried dough stick?"

"I call it unpretentious. The most important thing is authenticity. If you keep it in your home, it would be too hypocritical." Jiang Liu said with a smile.

While watching TV and chatting with relatives and neighbors of the Li family until a large pot of mutton was put on the kang, Jiang Liu felt energetic.

Apparently, he was also somewhat less able to resist the urge to eat and drink.

Crossing his legs on the kang, Li's father took out two bottles of white wine and poured them into Jiang Liu first, then the younger ones, but Jiang Liu declined them repeatedly.

He had given up drinking and had to drive back to the city after dinner.

Father Li didn't say anything. He turned around and took out a black jar from the cupboard behind him: "Medicinal wine is not considered wine."

Jiang Liu was depressed and had to let go of the bowl.

Father Li carefully opened the lid, stood up and poured half a bowl of dark red liquid for Jiang Liu, then said to Li Xing, "Drink some with Jiang Liu." "Dad, pour some for me too, I've been craving for it for a long time." Li Wei handed over the bowl with a shy face.

Father Li glared: "You go away."

"Your dad is a treasure trove of deer antler wine."

"That's right, after living in a village for decades, no one has ever tasted it."

The uncles at the table said hopefully.

Seeing this, Jiang Liu picked up the bowl and took a sip.

This bite seemed to have swallowed a ball of fire, which extended from his throat down into his lower abdomen. A layer of fine sweat oozed out from the pores on his forehead and body.

"It's really good wine." Jiang Liu praised sincerely.

Father Li smiled and said, "That's good, let's eat. You're welcome, Jiang Liu. Li Xin, take good care of Jiang Liu."

"He doesn't need anyone to take care of him. If he stays here for a few more days, he will be more familiar with me inside and out." Li Xin complained.

"Haha."

Li's father and uncles all laughed and said, "Young boys should be more relaxed. If you are a coward, you won't be able to eat outside."

Jiang Liu didn't say anything, but picked up the sheep skull and started to chew on it.

Lao Li's mutton cooking method is very original, but the smell of mutton is almost invisible, which Shen Jiangliu likes.

Seeing that Li Yan was also enjoying the meal, Jiang Liu smiled and said, "When we have some free time, we can go to the prairie and try the roasted whole lamb there."

What he said aroused the curiosity of those at the table about his work.

Jiang Liu didn't hide anything and told him bluntly that he was a director.

He has many secret identities, such as the boss behind a beverage and logistics company, a variety show planner, a film and television investor, and a screenwriter.

But these identities are not what he really longs for in his heart. His most proud identity is always that of a director.

His status as a boss, film and television investor, etc. is just for him to make money so that he can satisfy his ambition of being carefree and enjoying life.

Unable to stand up to Li's mother's insistence, Li's father took on the elders' arrogance and said, "The director's job is good, and he and the host Li Xing complement each other, but when do you plan to get married?"

"You're not too young either. Jiang Liu, you are 21 years old, and Li Yan is two years older than you." Mother Li, who did not get on the kang but had been standing beside Father Li, added.

"I'm not old enough to get married yet, so getting married now won't have any impact on me."

Jiang Liu looked at Li Xing and explained: "But she can't do it. She is within the system, and getting married now will affect her work."

"Yes, Mom, don't worry about this. You can only get married when you are old enough."

"Jiang Liu will be 22 years old after the new year. It will be September soon. The two families can discuss getting engaged first." Mother Li said worriedly.

Li Wei choked and said: "Mom, the legal age is based on the age of one year. Who told you that you are a false age?"

Mother Li glared at her talkative son and said clearly: "It won't last more than a year if it's not one year old. It's just right to get engaged."

In her mind, her daughter is 24 years old and is a typical old girl.

The old girl finally got her boyfriend to visit her, and Jiang Liu seemed to be a good character, so why don't we hurry up and get things done?

Some things have to be struck while the iron is hot!

Li Xing looked helplessly at Jiang Liu, who could only say politely: "My family doesn't know about this yet. If we want to get engaged, we need to communicate in advance."

"We need to communicate. Don't leave today. Stay at home."

Li's mother gave Li's father a hard time, and Li's father came to his senses and said, "After dinner, let's greet our in-laws and mother-in-law together."

Jiang Liu pinched his nose and nodded.

　I wrote it and forgot to send it.
