As expected, Shen Luxi didn't have to wait too long for this day.

A few days after Matchmaker Zhang left, Wang Guihua called Shen Dashan to the main room.

Shen Luxi was chopping firewood in the yard when he heard Wang Guihua's voice coming from the main room. It was neither high nor low, just enough to float into the yard.

"Second brother, I have arranged your daughter's marriage. She is a member of the Zhou family in the town, and her family has land and a shop. Your daughter will be blessed if she marries her."

Get married?That sounds nice.

An old man in his fifties already has three concubines at home. If he buys a 14-year-old girl to be his concubine, is this called enjoyment?

Shen Dashan's voice was muffled: "Mom, Luxi is only fourteen..."

"What happened to fourteen? How many girls in the village got engaged at fourteen? Yuanwai Zhou gave me a betrothal gift of twenty taels of silver, twenty taels! You can't save this amount in your whole life!"

Zhao Cuiping supported from the side: "That's right, second brother, you can't find such a good match even with all the lanterns, and you're still so picky."

Shen Dashan was silent.

Shen Luxi stuck the hatchet on the wooden pier, patted the sawdust on his hands, and walked to the door of the main house.

"Dad, come out."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room looked over.

Wang Guihua's face sank: "When adults are talking, why are you, a child, interrupting! Get out!"

Shen Luxi ignored her and only looked at Shen Dashan: "Dad, come out."

Shen Dashan hesitated for a moment, then stood up and walked out.

Wang Guihua cursed a few words from behind, but Shen Luxi turned a deaf ear and pulled Shen Dashan into his house and closed the door.

Liu Qiaoniang was also in the room, her face already pale.

"Lu Xi, your grandma..."

"I heard everything." Shen Luxi looked at Shen Dashan, "Dad, have you agreed?"

Shen Dashan lowered his head and said nothing for a long time.

"Dad." Shen Luxi emphasized his tone, "Have you agreed?"

"...No." Shen Dashan's voice was very low, "I didn't agree, but your grandma..."

"It doesn't matter what she said." Shen Luxi interrupted him, "Dad, you are my biological father. What you say about this family does not count. Doesn't it matter what grandma says? If she wants to sell me, will you stop her?"

Shen Dashan raised his head and his lips trembled.

He has been suppressed by Wang Guihua for decades in his life, and he has never spoken back or resisted.

But the girl looked at him blankly, with no resentment in her eyes, only this question.

"Stop it." Shen Dashan clenched his fists, "Father, stop it."

Shen Luxi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay. Dad, you will follow my arrangements for the rest."

She briefly stated her plan and finally said, "There is only one moment left."

"What time?" Shen Dashan asked.
