Da Hua listened to Zhao Hulu's words in disbelief, staring at the father and son in fear.

Zhao Daniu, not understanding what was going on, clapped his hands and cheered, "Great! Dad, I want the wedding night! I want the wedding night!"

Zhao Hulu stared coldly at Zhao Dahua and said to his son, "I'll teach you now."

He grabbed Zhao Dahua and dragged her into the grove.

Zhao Dahua was terrified and immediately cried for help: "What are you doing? Help! Help!"

"This is what you got for being so restless! No matter how much you scream, no one will come to save you," Zhao Hulu said angrily.

It was a dark and windy night, and nothing could be seen from the outside into the woods. Faintly, the sound of tearing clothes and Zhao Dahua's increasingly weak cries for help could be heard...

When Zhao Dahua returned home, it was half an hour later. She was crying and clutching her torn clothes. She was extremely depressed and physically uncomfortable. After all, she had been locked up for two days without food and had no strength to resist. All that she had gone through had left her extremely weak.

Even so, she went into the kitchen and boiled a whole pot of hot water for herself, scrubbing her body incessantly, as if that would wash away the disgusting experience she had just had.

The more she thought about it, the sadder she became, and her tears fell into the bathtub.

Outside, Li Rouniang, who had originally planned to threaten Zhao Dahua into agreeing to the marriage, saw everything and understood. She hadn't expected Zhao Dazui to be so ruthless. However, it wasn't her business!

The next day, Zhao Dazui invited the matchmaker and the clan chief to come over early in the morning.

Li Rouniang warmly welcomed them into the main room, where they were seated and served tea. Then she went to knock on Granny Zhao's door: "Granny, Aunt Dazui and the others are here. Get up quickly."

Granny Zhao vaguely heard Li Rou Niang's words. She had originally planned to go out to ask the clan chief for help at dawn, so how did she end up sleeping until this hour? Little did she know that her beloved daughter-in-law had put some sleeping potion in her porridge!

Granny Zhao quickly got up, dressed, and rushed to the main room, where she saw Zhao Dazui, the clan chief, the matchmaker, and others sitting.

She was momentarily at a loss for words and stammered, "You, why did you all come here?"

"Oh dear, Sister Zhao, you are so lucky! This big-mouthed woman is such a good mother-in-law. She's been urging me to come over early this morning to propose marriage to you. She's already prepared everything."

The matchmaker, with a silver tongue and a beaming smile, stepped forward and pulled the still-dazed Granny Zhao to sit down. "This, this, I, I—" Granny Zhao stammered, caught completely off guard.

She had intended to complain to the clan chief, but with so many people around, she couldn't bring herself to say it. Besides, who would believe her if she said anything here at this moment?

Then she suddenly rolled her eyes and said, "This matter needs my daughter's approval. You don't know how stubborn my daughter is."

"What kind of talk is this? Since ancient times, marriages have been arranged by parents and matchmakers. How can we listen to a child's opinion?" Zhao Dazui was displeased when she heard Zhao Pozi's words, which sounded like she was going back on her word. She had been in a bad mood all night.

"Oh, that's right, Aunt Big Mouth. But my mother-in-law is naturally happy about it. Look, the marriage certificate has already been printed and sealed." Li Rou Niang quickly took out the marriage certificate to show Zhao Da Zui and the clan chief.

Clan chief Zhao Youtian was satisfied, so the marriage certificate was exchanged in front of both families, and the matter was settled.

Granny Zhao was getting anxious, so she said, "How about this, let our Da Hua come out and say what she thinks too?"

Actually, he wanted to lead everyone to the woodshed so they could see Zhao Dahua tied up there, and then she could criticize Li Rouniang, since she had no evidence to prove that she had been tied up.

“That’s true. Then please let Big Flower come out as well.” The clan chief nodded.

"My poor daughter, I'm afraid she won't be able to get out. She was..." As soon as Zhao Youtian finished speaking, Granny Zhao started crying. She wanted to lay the groundwork first, then lead everyone to the woodshed, and then it would be the death day of that little slut Li Rou Niang.

"Mother, you don't need to say anything, I'll marry him!" But Granny Zhao's words were interrupted by Zhao Dahua, who suddenly appeared.

She walked in with a blank, expressionless face, didn't greet anyone, just said one sentence, and then turned and went back to her room. Everyone was completely baffled.

"Oh dear, isn't this a matter of mutual consent? As the saying goes, the man is in love, and the woman is willing; the two of you will surely live a long and happy life together, and have many children." The matchmaker was the first to react, showering him with compliments without asking for anything in return. Hearing this, his mouth dropped open and the corners of his mouth turned up in a smile.

Although yesterday's events were very unpleasant, she still wanted to properly arrange her son's marriage. After all, she wanted a marriage alliance, not an enmity. She believed that after she passed away, her son would live a good life with this daughter-in-law.

Therefore, when she came today, she prepared a very generous dowry. She took out one tael of silver as the dowry and bought corresponding gifts. Her sincerity was evident.

Of course, the matchmaker told all this to Granny Zhao, leaving Granny Zhao unsure how to respond. She could only roll her eyes and say tactfully, "Oh dear, you see, even marrying off a daughter requires preparing a dowry. I haven't prepared mine yet. How about we set the wedding date for six months from now? What do you think?"

If she just postpones it, and her two sons return in three months, she can change her mind without worrying about Zhao Dazui and the others being unhappy.

She also needs to have a good talk with her daughter. Why did her daughter's attitude change overnight? And how did she get out of the woodshed?
