Old man Shen didn't waste time talking to the boss, and directly pulled out a cloth bag from his waist: "I'll give you 3 yuan now, and I'll give you the remaining 2 yuan after Hongmei gets married."

Shen Chunshu rubbed his hands and was about to take the money, but Old Man Shen suddenly took his hand back and said, "Have you two discussed it?" After saying that, he glanced at the eldest son's wife.

Shen Chunshu's mind was full of the 5 yuan at this time, so he didn't care whether Wang Huilian agreed or not: "As long as I agree, it's fine. I have the final say in my room."

Old man Shen ignored him, but turned his head and squinted his eyes at the eldest son's wife. He didn't say anything, just stared at her. The meaning was self-evident, and the eldest son's wife also had to express her opinion.

Wang Huilian, who had just vowed to never obey, looked at the three dollars in Old Man Shen's hand and hesitated.

As soon as Old Man Shen saw the look on his eldest son's wife's face, he knew that she was moved. Without waiting for her to reply, he gave the money directly to his eldest son.

When Shen Hongmei saw her mother like this, she immediately panicked and grabbed Wang Huilian's arm and cried, "Mom, mom, please say something, I don't want to marry that old man, I won't marry him even if I die, mom, please help me, you have to help me!"

Wang Huilian's eyes were filled with tears. She looked at her crying daughter, but she no longer insisted: "Hong... Hongmei, mother... mother..."

Wang Huilian was choking with sobs and couldn't speak, but when she thought of her eldest son, she had to harden her heart and persuade her daughter: "Your brother is two years older than you. He should have gotten married a long time ago. With our family conditions, there is no marriage opportunity for us in the Zhao family. Your brother..."

"Hongmei, mother... mother is sorry for you."

After saying that, Wang Huilian covered her face and burst into tears.

These three children are all her flesh and blood, and she is reluctant to give up any of them. However, her eldest son is already 19 and will be 20 after the New Year.

The family’s money is managed by my parents-in-law, and my brother-in-law is not married yet. If the family has money, it must take care of my brother-in-law first. When will it be Dawei’s turn?

Besides, Wang Huilian had never touched money at home in all these years after getting married. Seeing so much money right in front of her, how could she not be tempted?

"Mom, why are you like this? You were helping me just now, Mom, how could you do this? I'm your own daughter!"

When Shen Hongmei saw that her mother had acquiesced, she immediately sat down on the ground and broke down crying: "I won't marry, I will never marry that old man, it's that damn girl who hurt me, she hurt me, let her marry, let her marry."

Old man Shen glanced coldly at his granddaughter who was throwing a tantrum on the ground, then turned to Shen Chunshu and said, "Come with me, and leave your wife here."

The two of them returned to the east room, and Old Man Shen said to Zhao Changgui, "We have agreed that Hongmei will marry him."

"Will Hongmei agree?" Zhao Changgui looked at the door, and the crying voice of Shen Hongmei from the west room could be heard clearly.

Old man Shen waved his hand and said, "She's a girl, why should she agree or not? Since ancient times, marriages are decided by parents and matchmakers, so we as elders just need to agree."

"Don't worry. Once you take her in and get married and sleep on the same kang, you'll feel at ease. You can live a good life in the future. That's better than anything else."

Zhao Changgui thought so too. When the matter is done, she will have to accept it even if she doesn't want to. When the child is born, what else can she do if she doesn't accept her fate?

"Okay, let's change her. It's getting late. We won't stay any longer. Let's go now!"

Zhao Changgui was afraid that if he delayed any further, something might go wrong, so he planned to marry her quickly to save trouble.

Old Man Shen and Shen Chunshu returned to the west room. Seeing Shen Hongmei still sitting on the ground struggling and refusing to get up, Old Man Shen's face darkened: "Do you want to get up by yourself, or do you want me to find a rope to tie you up?"

Chen Hongmei was not listening at all at this time. She just sat on the ground and cried and begged Wang Huilian to save her.

Old Man Shen was determined: "Go, find a rope."

Chen Chunshu couldn't bear it, so he stood there without moving, and advised: "Hongmei, things have come to this, just listen to your father and accept it, right?"

Shen Hongmei's eyes were swollen from crying. She looked up at him fiercely and said, "I don't admit it. Why should I admit it?"

"One of you did it for Sanbai, and the other did it for my elder brother. Just because I'm a girl, you treat me like this? You all want to harm me. I curse you to die miserably."

Now even Shen Chunshu was angry, and the little bit of guilt that was left in his heart disappeared. He turned around and went out to find a hemp rope, held Shen Hongmei, wrapped it around a few times and tied her up.

Shen Hongmei struggled with her hands and tried to run away, but how could a girl like her earn more than a man who worked all year round? In a few seconds, Shen Chunshu tied her up tightly.

Wang Huilian sat slumped aside, looking at the father and daughter like they were enemies, covering her mouth and crying.

Old man Shen was afraid that she would start swearing at him, so he took a rag, rolled it up, and stuffed it into her mouth.

Zhao Changgui, who was waiting in the yard leading the donkey, saw Chen Chunshu coming out carrying the tied-up Chen Hongmei.

Everyone in the courtyard: . . . . .

The Shen family has really set their sights on the Zhao family. They want to continue the marriage even after all this.

When the village chief Liu Changshan saw this scene, he turned around and left the Shen family's yard. He really couldn't afford to lose face by following them.

Shen Chunshu put Shen Hongmei horizontally on the donkey's back: "Okay, let's go!"

Zhao Changgui was also anxious to go back, and nodded: "Then let's go."

When he turned around to leave, he thought for a moment and called out to Shen Chunshu, "Dad."

After all, it is a wedding reception, so we should still call her by her given name.

This call made Shen Chunshu also startled, and he raised his hand awkwardly: "Hey. Let's go!"

Zhao Changgui then led the donkey, carrying the still struggling Shen Hongmei out of the Shen family yard.

As he walked, Zhao Changgui thought it was quite magical. He had just called the second son of the Shen family "dad", and not long after, he turned around and called the eldest son of the Shen family "dad".

You said this was a whole thing...

When Boss Shen carried Shen Hongmei out, Shen Siyue also came out.

Looking at Shen Hongmei who was tied up like a silkworm pupa, Shen Siyue grinned.

I finally got my revenge today for the first beating I received.

Zhao Changgui led the people from Zhaojiawan away for dozens of meters. Wang Huilian rushed out of the house and threw herself at the gate of the courtyard, shouting heartbreakingly at the backs of the people from Zhaojiawan: "Hongmei, Hongmei, my son, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for you!"

Wang Huilian lay on the ground and cried uncontrollably, saying "I'm sorry, my daughter" over and over again.

Some women in the village tried to pull Wang Huilian away: "Huilian, hurry up, everyone has left."

Someone advised her: "Hui Lian, I know you feel bad, but the men are in charge, what can you do as a woman?"

But no matter how others persuaded her, Wang Huilian still collapsed on the ground and cried loudly.

Li Xiang didn’t come forward because she wanted to look at Shen Siyue. At this time, seeing her sister-in-law crying miserably, she couldn’t help but complain to Shen Siyue: “Look at what you have done. Your aunt is about to cry to death.”

Shen Siyue turned around and looked at her with wide eyes in disbelief, with a thousand fries running through her heart.
