14 No Right And No Obligation

Li Jinzong furrowed his brows and said, "Mrs. Xu is open-minded. She won't care about such trivial matters. I have always been a righteous person in the business world and she can trust my character. Yinyin and the young man from the Lou Family are mutually in love. Not only does the Lou Family have the ability to help us, even if they couldn't, I would not force Yinyin to marry Mrs. Xu's son."

If his daughter didn't like someone and Young Master Xu was a normal person with a good character, he may have forgiven his pride and forced his daughter this once, but based on the current situation, Li Jinzong would never let his daughter marry an idiot.

"Jinzhong, why don't you understand?" Fang Meixian felt her husband was usually quite smart, but why was he acting so stupid now? "If she marries into the Lou Family, she will only be the small Madam of the family, and be known as Mrs. Lou, but if she marries into the Xu Family, her situation will be very different!"

Young Master Xu was mentally unwell. No matter how strong Mrs. Xu was now, she was getting old and had to nurture a successor sooner or later. Since she couldn't train her son, she could only choose her daughter-in-law. Otherwise, why was she in such a rush to find her son a wife?

If Li Weiyin married into the Xu Family, it wouldn't take long before she headed the family. At that time, the Li Family would rise to the top and everyone in Jin City would want to get on their good side.

Seeing the obvious longing in Fang Meixian's eyes, nerves began to surface on Li Jinzong's forehead, "Do you think Mrs. Xu is as stupid as you? If she didn't take this into consideration, would she still be the Mrs. Xu that everyone fears?"

"Li Jinzong, I'm only thinking on behalf of the family!" Fang Meixian was angry from embarrassment after her husband humiliated her in front of her two daughters. "Don't think too simply of the situation. I may be stupid and I may not know how generous Mrs. Xu is, but I know the entire Jin City, and even the entire Hua Country has plenty of people that want to get on Mrs. Xu's good side. Enough to fill the Great Wall!"

"Mrs. Xu may not do anything to us, but I can't guarantee that others won't do something to us to get on her good side. How many people do you think you'll be able to deal with?"

As she spoke, she pointed to Li Weiyin, "If she marries into the Lou Family, the Lou Family may help us once or twice because we're in-laws, but will they continue to protect us tirelessly? Even if they don't despise her after that, they will still look down on her!"

How good will the life of a daughter-in-law that only causes trouble and continuously asks for help be?

Li Jinzong was rendered speechless.

Fang Meixian held her head high like a chicken that had won a cockfight, "I'm sure you know how capable the Li Family is. Now that you're in trouble, we're too afraid to even use a helper in case they can't handle it. If we offend the Xu Family, our entire family will have to plead for our lives!"

As she spoke, she glared at Li Weiyin. "Can love put food on the table? Do you want the entire family to live in vain just to satisfy your great love? You'd rather give up on being the head of a household to go serve a man because of love? That's called being cheap!"

Had Fang Meixian always been this smart?

It's not that Li Weiyin looked down on her own mother, but the fact was, Fang Meixian was never that smart.

When she thought about the time she was away cooking congee, she subconsciously looked at Li Weixin who had her head down the entire time pretending to be obedient.

As she watched her father fall silent, Li Weiyin lowered her eyes, "Dad, Mom's right, I have no right to make the family live in fear just to satisfy my love."

After a short pause, she looked at the proud smile on Fang Meixian's face and added, "Similarly, I have no obligation to sacrifice myself for the family to live a wealthy and luxurious life."
