Chapter 48 Wang Zhaodi is worth 30 yuan

Liu Xiangxiang and Wang Chuanzong were talking about their third sister, who had been sent back to her parents' home.

Wang Chuanzong said indifferently, "Don't worry about her. She'll be back in a couple of days. Anyway, my mother won't let her eat and live at home for free."

Liu Xiangxiang wasn't worried that she wouldn't leave, but rather she remembered what she had heard when she went back to her parents' home a few days ago.

"In my hometown brigade, there's a bachelor who wants to get married. He doesn't care if she's been married before or not, and he's willing to give 30 yuan as a bride price!"

Wang Chuanzong's eyes lit up immediately: "You mean...?"

Liu Xiangxiang continued, "You know, if Third Sister leaves the Lin family, wouldn't this person be a good fit? With this 30 yuan, we can eat meat."

Wang Chuanzong was even more tempted when he thought about how much meat he could eat for 30 yuan.

But he still had to pretend: "Well, she's my sister, after all. What if that bachelor has some kind of problem?"

“You’re saying he can afford to spend 30 yuan and he’s still single, how could he not have any problems?” Liu Xiangxiang rolled her eyes and continued, “But, it’s not a big problem. He just loves to drink, and when he’s drunk he likes to hit people. His first few wives couldn’t stand it and ran away.”

Wang Chuanzong said nonchalantly, "Hitting people is something every man does. It's not a big deal. I think this guy is alright."

Tomorrow I'll talk to Mother and ask her to speak to Third Sister. If Mother throws a tantrum, Third Sister will definitely agree.

Liu Xiangxiang said with a smile, "That's right, it's still Mother who knows how to handle my older sisters. Every time Mother takes action, they immediately bring us all the things in the house."

Wang Chuanzong said matter-of-factly, "Isn't that how it should be? They're all money-losing goods, but I'm the heir of the Wang family, so they have to treat me better."

"Yes, yes, yes, you are the most important person in the family, Chuanzong."

After saying that, the two started exercising...

Wang Zhaodi covered her mouth outside, tears streaming down her face.

It turns out that her devoted younger brother was thinking this way, even willing to sell her again for 30 yuan.

She felt an overwhelming sense of sorrow, finding the situation both absurd and laughable.

She doesn't want to acknowledge this younger brother anymore; he's forgotten his sister now that he has a wife.

But she still held onto hope: her parents wouldn't treat her like that, would they?

Wang Zhaodi, with dark circles under her eyes, was washing clothes, wondering how she should get back to the Lin family.

Asking her to apologize would be a bit embarrassing.

At this moment, Wang's mother took the clothes from her hands and said, "Zhao Di, you should rest. You've been busy all morning."

Wang Zhaodi then came to her senses and was pulled by her mother to sit down on a chair.

The Queen Mother poured her a glass of water: "Zhao Di, drink some water."

Wang Zhaodi drank the water and thought to herself that her mother was still quite good to her.

Then Wang's mother continued, "Your brother just told me that since Lin Jianguo treats you so badly, we won't go back."

However, we still have our grandson Yaozu, and your sister-in-law is pregnant again, so it's not good to keep making you live in the woodshed.”

Wang Zhaodi shook her head: "Mom, I know there's no place for us to stay, you don't need to apologize to me."

The Queen Mother cursed her foolishness inwardly. Was she apologizing? She was just setting the stage!

"Oh dear, your daughter is the most considerate. She knows that I have my own difficulties."

"Zhaodi, what I'm thinking is, since the Lin family isn't good, and we have nowhere to live here, why don't you find someone else to marry?"

Wang Zhaodi was stunned and stared blankly at her.

Her mouth was moving, but Wang Zhaodi couldn't hear it anymore; she only felt a chilling coldness in her heart.

"There's a bachelor on your sister-in-law's family's side, not very old, only in his forties..."

"Zhao Di, what's wrong with you? Why are you standing there like that? Say something." After talking for a long time without getting a response from Wang Zhao Di, she looked up and saw her dazed expression. She couldn't help but get angry and pushed her hard.

Wang Zhaodi snapped out of her daze when her mother pushed her, her mouth agape like a rusty machine: "Mother, are you trying to sell me again?"

"What are you saying? I'm doing this for your own good, aren't I? What do you mean by 'selling'? You're really talking rudely."

Wang Zhaodi stood up, her voice trembling with emotion: "Mother, do you know that that bachelor loves to drink and beat people? He's already driven away several wives?"

The Queen Mother dared not meet her gaze: "Oh dear, which man doesn't drink? Which man doesn't beat his wife? These are not big problems."

This man can afford a 30 yuan dowry, which means his family is wealthy. If you marry into his family, you'll definitely have a good life.

Wang Zhaodi sneered, "With a dowry of 30 yuan, do you think I'll actually receive a single penny?"

The Queen Mother blurted out, "Of course not, Zhao Di. I raised you all these years, so of course I have to give some money to your family to help with your dowry when you get married."

“When I married Lin Jianguo, I gave you all 10 yuan as a bride price. My three sisters-in-law brought all their bride prices back with them and have savings. Only I have none!”

The Queen Mother curled her lip: "That's because their family is foolish; they have money but leave it to a money-losing daughter..."

Wang Zhaodi reached out to stop her from speaking: "Mother, there's no need to talk about this anymore. I won't marry that man. I'm going back to the Lin family this afternoon."

"That won't do. Your brother has already spoken to that person, and he'll probably come to pick you up in a few days. How can you go back to the Lin family?"

Wang Zhaodi shook her head: "You all agreed to it, I didn't agree, I won't marry him."

After she finished speaking, she turned to leave. She couldn't stay in this house any longer and decided to go back to the Lin family.

It's just an apology and admitting a mistake, doesn't she care about saving face?

As long as she admits her mistake, Jianguo should still forgive her.
