The Reborn Wife is Farming

Chapter 642: Agreement
Editor: Atlas Studios

After some pondering, Chief Ji’an said, “But Liu Dahei is too old!”

This was what he found most unsatisfactory about Liu Dahei. How could his delicate daughter marry such a pile of cow dung?

Chen Jiacai coughed lightly and said, “Father-in-law, if Liu Dahei doesn’t distinguish so much between the Miao and the Han, he’s not a bad choice.” He said tactfully, “After all, Sister has to live with that person for the rest of her life. If that person looks down on the Miao people from the bottom of his heart…”

Considering Jinhua felt that the Miao people were good in every way, it was unlikely that her marriage would be blissful if she married a Han person who despised the Miao people.

It was because he grew up in the Miao stockade that he regarded the Miao people as his family. The people in the Miao stockade also treated him like one of them, so he and Hanlan could live a good life. However, even the few Han villages near the Miao stockade hated them, and vice versa. That day, when they went to the military camp, they saw that those in the army were respectful to them only because they were the Prince’s guests. Other than Liu Dahei, the few generals who knew that they were going on a blind date with Jinhua all had disdain in their eyes. It could be seen that the Miao and Han were prejudiced against each other.

After hesitating for two days, Chief Ji’an decided to talk to Liu Dahei. He also wanted to know what Liu Dahei thought of his daughter.

Liu Dahei considered this meeting with Chief Ji’an as meeting his future father-in-law, so he deliberately dressed up to make himself look younger. Only then did he go to see his potential father-in-law with the precious dagger he had snatched from Lin Man.

It couldn’t be helped. He couldn’t think of anything else to give to a man who had an interest in martial arts like him.

Chief Ji’an sat in the restaurant and looked at the bustling crowd below with disappointment. Half of the people below were Han Chinese and the other half were Miao people. However, while Han Chinese could open shops, the Miao people could only set up stalls by the roadside. He wondered when his fellowmen would be able to open a large shop in the city without discrimination…

Liu Dahei walked in respectfully and bowed. “Greetings, Uncle.”

The corners of Chief Ji’an’s mouth twitched. He waved his hand and said, “Just call me Chief Ji’an.”

“Erm…” Wouldn’t this sound too distant?

“Why don’t you call me Big Brother Ji’an then? Anyway, I’m not much older.”

Liu Dahei immediately shouted, “Hello, Chieftain!”

Chief Ji’an motioned for him to sit down. With his eyes widened, he sized the fellow up and down for a long time. Other than being burly, he was also tanned. He did not understand why his daughter would fall for such a man. On the other hand, his eldest daughter had normal aesthetic taste, for Jiacai was handsome and elegant. Why did his youngest daughter’s aesthetic taste deviate so greatly?

Liu Dahei straightened his back and sat there stiffly as Chief Ji’an glared at him for a long time. Seeing that Chief Ji’an was getting more and more dissatisfied, he quickly revealed his sincerity. “Chieftain, I really wish to marry Jinhua. Please give your blessings to the both of us.”

Chief Ji’an snorted. “Do you dare to swear that you’re 100% sincere to Jinhua and not doing this for the benefits brought about by the marriage?”

Liu Dahei was silent for a moment, and his face became more and more respectful. He looked up at Chief Ji’an honestly and said, “Chieftain, I don’t doubt that the benefits are one of the considerations, but I do genuinely adore Jinhua. If I don’t like her, even if I know that this marriage will bring great benefits, I won’t accept His Highness’s matchmaking, because Jinhua will be the mother of my children in the future. As the only remaining bloodline of the Liu clan, my first consideration is not my career prospects, but the Liu clan’s bloodline. As for me, I hope that my bloodline will be continued by Jinhua.”

Chief Ji’an’s expression softened. It had to be said that Liu Dahei had struck his heartstrings. Sighing, he said, “It’s not that I don’t want to give you my blessings, but I’m afraid that your personalities won’t be compatible. Jinhua has a bad temper, and you’re not a soft-hearted person. Once you quarrel and don’t give in to each other, it’ll inevitably hurt the relationship between husband and wife. Besides, you Han men like to take in many concubines. I’m afraid my straightforward Jinhua won’t be a match for the Han women. When the time comes, she won’t even have a place to cry.”

Liu Dahei was sweating profusely as he hurriedly promised, “Father-in-law, don’t worry. As long as Jinhua can continue my bloodline before she turns 30, be it a boy or a girl, I will never take a concubine or a mistress in my life. As for personality, you have even less to worry about. Seeing as I’m already in my thirties, I consider myself blessed that I’m able to marry a wife. As such, I’ll definitely dote on Jinhua. She’s still young, so I’ll naturally give in to her as if I’m raising a daughter.”

At first, Ji’an listened attentively and was smiling in her heart. When he heard the last sentence though, he couldn’t help but kick him and say, “She’s my daughter. Do I need you to raise her like a daughter?”

Liu Dahei’s face was covered in cold sweat as he hurriedly clarified, “I misspoke, Father-in-law. No, Chieftain. I’ll definitely raise her as my wife…”

Ji’an said with a dark expression, “I haven’t agreed to marry my daughter to you.”

Liu Dahei said with a bitter expression, “Chieftain…” He felt that he was getting more and more wrong.

Ji’an waved his hand and left. Liu Dahei felt that his prospects were bleak, so he could only turn around and look for the Prince, hoping that he could give him some advice.

Qi Haoran nearly couldn’t stop himself from tapping Liu Dahei’s forehead. “I thought that you were a smart fellow. Why are you so stupid? Didn’t you ask Fei Bai for advice previously?”

“But Your Highness, Fei Bai didn’t tell me what to say when I meet my future father-in-law. He himself is unmarried, right?” Liu Dahei looked at Qi Haoran longingly. “Your Highness, since you have experience, teach me a little.”

Qi Haoran tilted his head and said smugly, “We don’t have anything in common. My father-in-law is very satisfied with me and regards me as his own son. You can go to the army to find someone who wasn’t liked by his father-in-law and seek that guy’s advice.”

Would he really not be beaten up by his colleagues if he asked this?

Liu Dahei looked at Qi Haoran pitifully.

Qi Haoran blocked his gaze with his hand and said, “Don’t look anymore. I can’t come up with any ideas.”

Liu Dahei said hesitantly, “Perhaps Her Highness might know…”

He didn’t believe that Father Mu was 100% satisfied with Qi Haoran. Which father would be completely delighted with a son-in-law who had snatched his daughter away?

Understanding the unspoken intentions, Qi Haoran’s face darkened. He kicked Liu Daihei out and snapped, “Scram!”

After Ji’an returned to the Miao stockade, he thought for a long time. In the end, he called his daughter over and asked her, “Are you sure about Liu Dahei?”

Jinhua nodded fiercely.

Ji’an sighed. If Liu Dahei said that he proposed solely because he liked Jinhua, he would definitely not believe him and think that this person was hypocritical. Even if objecting would make his daughter sad, he would definitely not agree to this marriage.

If Liu Dahei said that he desired to marry Jinhua because of benefits, he would definitely reject him as well. Moreover, it would be easier to explain to Jinhua.

However, Liu Dahei was honest about both being valid reasons, but his liking Jinhua was the main factor and the benefits were just a bonus. This made Ji’an hesitate instead. Moreover, he could tell that what Liu Dahei said was true. This was the reason why he sighed regretfully.

His daughter was really going to be married to ‘a pile of cow dung’.

Ji’an closed his eyes and waved his hand. “Get someone to inform him to come and propose marriage.”

Jinhua immediately cheered. She hugged Ji’an’s neck and shook him as she shouted, “Father, you’re the best!”

Ji’an’s heart was about to break. Hadn’t he always been the best to her?

This was his daughter!
