Chapter 573 Proposal
Seeing Wang Wenzhou's infatuated expression, Zhang Jiao's face changed, and she pinched Wang Wenzhou's thigh hard.
"Ouch!" Wang Wenzhou winced in pain, hugged Zhang Jiao and kissed her, then said with a smile, "Old Li, let me toast you and wish you a happy birthday."
"Thank you, sir!" Old Man Li quickly picked up his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.
"Hmph!" Zhang Jiao snorted coldly, took a sip of wine, and fed it to Wang Wenzhou.
Everyone present knew what kind of person Wang Wenzhou was, so they weren't surprised when he drank directly from Zhang Jiao's mouth.
Wang Wenzhou looked at Old Man Li and said with a smile, "Old Li, what's your granddaughter's name? How old is she?"
Old Man Li quickly said, "Her name is Li Mei, and she is 16 years old. Mei'er, quickly offer a toast to Lord Wang."
Li Mei quickly picked up her wine glass.
Wang Wenzhou was stunned when she heard this. Her name was also Li Mei, exactly the same as Li Mei's baby name. It was truly fate!
Wang Wenzhou waved to Li Mei and quickly said, "Wait a minute. Old Li, has your Mei'er gotten engaged?"
"Sigh..." Old Man Li sighed, looking exasperated at his son's lack of ambition, and said helplessly, "This child has only studied for a few days and has already forgotten his own name. Not only does he look down on the people who came to propose marriage, but he also makes a fuss about joining the army. Sir, do you think this is reasonable?"
"Haha!" Wang Wenzhou laughed immediately upon hearing this; it was great that they weren't married.
Wang Wenzhou smiled slightly, stood up, walked to Old Man Li, and knelt down with a thud.
"Pfft..." Everyone was completely dumbfounded. What was Wang Wenzhou up to now?
"My lord, please rise quickly!" Old Man Li was dumbfounded and hurriedly knelt down opposite Wang Wenzhou.
Wang Wenzhou said with a smile, "Grandpa! Why are you kneeling? Please stand up. I would like to ask you to betroth Li Mei to me."
"Huh?" Old Man Li was a little confused. The adults really took a fancy to my Mei'er?
“Grandpa! If you don’t agree to this marriage, I will kneel here forever!” Wang Wenzhou thought that Old Man Li was unwilling.
"Haha!" Old Man Li laughed loudly, "Sir, please get up! It's a blessing that Mei'er has taken a liking to me. How could I disagree? I'm happy to accept! Wealth, tell me, are you happy or not?"
Upon hearing this, Li Fugui quickly smiled and said, "Principal, I'd love to too."
Old Man Li quickly helped Wang Wenzhou up and said with a smile, "Sir, we're family now, no need to be so polite."
Hou Fangyu and Mao Xiang were completely dumbfounded. Wang Wenzhou was such a lecher! He wanted to marry any pretty girl he saw, but Old Man Li actually agreed.
Hou Fangyu and Mao Xiang found Wang Wenzhou increasingly incomprehensible. You could say he was a scoundrel, yet he governed Hanshan like a paradise on earth. But if you said Wang Wenzhou was an honest official, they would never believe it, even if you beat them to death.
Wang Wenzhou stood up, poured himself a glass of wine, and said with a smile, "I'd like to offer you another toast."
"Cheers!" Old Man Li exclaimed excitedly as he downed the drink in one gulp.
Everyone in Hanshan knew that Wang Wenzhou was a womanizer. But they also knew that he treated his wives and concubines exceptionally well. Back when Wang Wenzhou was in Hanshan, every morning large groups of people would drag their unmarried daughters along for a run, just so he could catch a glimpse of them. If he took a liking to one and married her, it would truly be a blessing from a past life.
Wang Wenzhou filled another glass of wine, walked up to Li Fugui, knelt down, and said, "Father-in-law, your son-in-law toasts you."
Li Fugui was terrified. He was a former labor camper and couldn't bear to see the principal kneeling in front of him. He quickly helped Wang Wenzhou up.
"Father-in-law, please don't do this. It's only right that your son-in-law kneels before you. You don't mean you don't want to agree to this marriage, do you?" Wang Wenzhou asked hurriedly.
"Principal, how could I not be happy? I wish Mei'er would marry you!" Li Fugui shook his head vigorously, afraid that he might do something foolish and upset the principal, causing the principal to refuse to marry his daughter.
"Father-in-law, I'll drink this first as a sign of respect!" Wang Wenzhou said, then downed the drink in one gulp.
Li Fugui drank a glass of wine and quickly helped Wang Wenzhou up, saying, "Principal, please get up quickly."
Wang Wenzhou refilled the wine glass, walked up to Li Mei, knelt down, looked at her tenderly, and asked softly, "Baby, baby, will you marry me?"
Li Mei's face was already flushed red to her neck. She was at the age when young girls were in love, and how could she not like Wang Wenzhou, the great hero whom her grandfather and father admired to the skies? She had never dared to dream of marrying Wang Wenzhou before, but now that he had knelt down to propose, even if she was shy, she wouldn't refuse.
"I do!" Li Mei's shy expression was quite adorable.
Wang Wenzhou quickly stood up and pulled Li Mei to her feet as well. He hugged Li Mei and said with a smile, "Baby, baby, let's drink this cup of wine. In a few days, I'll bring you home in a grand wedding procession."
"Okay!" Li Mei nodded gently.
Wang Wenzhou picked up his wine glass, fed Li Mei a drink, and said with a smile, "Baby, you drink half a glass, and feed me the other half."
"Mmm!" Li Mei was so embarrassed that she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. She was very willing to marry Wang Wenzhou, but her husband seemed to be a bit improper.
Li Mei took a sip of the wine, and Wang Wenzhou embraced her and kissed her.
Hou Fangyu and Mao Xiang exchanged a glance. Wang Wenzhou, that lecherous scoundrel, was truly a womanizer to the extreme. But why did so many girls like him? Was it really true that women only love bad boys?
Zhang Jiao's face turned ashen. Seeing her nemesis embracing and kissing that little bitch, she could no longer hold back.
"Bang!" Zhang Jiao slammed her hand on the table.
Wang Wenzhou was startled and quickly looked at Zhang Jiao.
"Husband! Come home with me!" Zhang Jiao said coldly, looking at Wang Wenzhou.
"I'm so stupid! I'm such a big idiot! How could I flirt with a girl in front of my baby?" Wang Wenzhou shook his head with a wry smile, quickly let go of Li Mei, ran to Zhang Jiao's side, hugged her tightly, and whispered, "Jiao Jiao, Jiao Jiao, don't be angry. Listen to me."
"Hmph!" Zhang Jiao pouted and snorted coldly.
Wang Wenzhou continued, "Jiaojiao, haven't you noticed that Li Mei looks almost exactly like the Li Mei from South Korea?"
Zhang Jiao had only met Li Mei from South Korea a few times and wasn't very familiar with her. Now that Wang Wenzhou said this, she looked at the Li Mei in front of her and realized that she really did look quite similar.
Wang Wenzhou said sadly, "My sister-in-law is dead, but her daughter is still in our household. I don't know what's wrong with Xiao Xiaomei. Ever since my sister-in-law passed away, she's been crying and making a fuss all day long. Xiao Xiaomei is Zhang Sanhua's wife. If she dies from excessive grief, Zhang Sanhua will be left without a wife!"
Wang Wenzhou spoke nonsense with a straight face, "Li Mei looks so much like my sister-in-law. When Xiao Xiao Mei sees her, she will definitely stop crying and making a fuss. I married Li Mei mainly for the sake of our Zhang Sanhua!"
Zhang Jiao was naive and easily fooled. She asked doubtfully, "Husband, is everything you said true?"
Wang Wenzhou nodded and said seriously, "Of course, Jiaojiao, tell me, would I bear to lie to you?"
"Hoo..." Zhang Jiao took a deep breath and said helplessly, "Okay! I don't mind, but that little bitch Liu Rushi definitely won't agree."
"It's alright, I'll definitely persuade Ruru." Wang Wenzhou smiled slightly. Getting one down is one down; this young master would tell any lie to sleep with a pretty girl.
