Li Yuzhen's chest heaved violently. The moment she heard these words, she seemed to have heard a hallucination and stared at her mother in a daze.

The mother who had never even glanced at her in eighteen years.

"Mom, you are so confused. We have already received the betrothal money, so there is no reason for me not to get married. I am getting married soon, and my third brother is also dating. You gave all your money to my eldest brother, you can't let two brothers remain bachelors!" Li Zicheng was anxious, his face turned purple, and he did not expect Wu Xiuying to say that.

Wu Xiuying wiped the moisture from her eyes, helped Li Yuzhen up, and said in a rough voice, "We've raised you to this age, and you've been working for several years. Your family has never asked you for money. The money they've saved over the years is enough for you to marry a wife. Your sister is still young and not old enough to get married!"

Li Yuzhen listened to these words in disbelief. Her mother had always tried to convince her that she was already eighteen and could get married...

Li Zicheng was stunned. He didn't expect his mother, who had always been on his side, to change her mind. He was a little indignant. "Mom, even if you don't consider me, you should consider my third brother. He doesn't have a job and he's not in school. How can he get married if our family doesn't give him any money?"

Li Yuzhen suddenly became nervous. Among all her sons, their mother doted on her third brother the most. She was afraid that her mother would waver and she would have to marry the man named Yang.

Before she dropped out of school, that guy surnamed Yang and his gang of buddies would hang around her school all day to block her... He was obviously in his thirties, but he acted like a gangster.

She doesn't want to get married.

I don’t want to get married even if I die!

Just when she was getting anxious, Wu Xiuying spoke up with a heavy, cold snort, "Have you ever considered your fourth sister? She's only eighteen! If you want to marry a wife, she has to marry someone else? How is this any different from selling your daughter? You're not afraid of being criticized, but I am!"

Li Zicheng was a little furious. "How can it be the same? Mom, after all, we are the ones who will take care of you in your old age. If she gets married, can you still count on her? What do you mean by selling your daughter? The father of this Yang family is the deputy director of the factory next door. There are so many people vying for her hand in marriage!"

Those words were ironic to the extreme.

She could still vividly remember how they had refused to treat her illness in her previous life.

She had put so much effort into raising these three sons, helping them to start their own families and build their own careers, and what did she get in return? A bunch of ungrateful people!

It's enough to be stupid once.

In her previous life, she agreed to marry Li Yuzhen because she heard that the Yang family had good conditions and her second and third sons lied to her that they were from a good family.

Later I found out that the guy named Yang was not doing his job properly and was a loser.

But what's the use of regretting at that time? She has already gotten married. In her opinion, once married, one cannot get divorced. Doing so will make people laugh at her.

Wu Xiuying no longer gave Li Zicheng any more glances. "At worst, you can remain single. Otherwise, don't even think about taking Yuzhen out of this door today..."

Li Zicheng and Li Yuzhen were both shocked.

Once, when Wu Xiuying heard that her sons couldn't find wives, she was more anxious than anyone else.

Now you can actually say such words.

Li Zicheng was furious. "Okay, okay, I won't tell you. I'll let my third brother come in and tell you! I've already given half of the betrothal money to Alan. If you want to regret it, you can go and return the money yourself—"

Alan is Li Zicheng's future daughter-in-law.

Wu Xiuying was stunned for a moment before she realized that it was Li Zicheng who received the betrothal gift and it never passed through her hands.

Anger instantly surged in her chest, "You used the betrothal gift?"

Li Zicheng gritted his teeth and said, "What else can I do? Alan's belly is getting bigger. Mom, do you want your grandson to be criticized in the future?"

Li Yuzhen suddenly froze.

Fall into endless despair.

Since Dad passed away, the pension has been used to support the family, and the remaining money has been used to support my eldest brother's college education, marriage and children. Now there is not much money left in the family, how can we pay it back to the Yang family?

Even if my mother changed her mind, she would never be willing to spend so much money on her.

Besides, my sister-in-law's belly is getting bigger. Even if my mother doesn't feel sorry for my second brother, she still feels sorry for the grandson in her belly...

Tears welled up in Li Yuzhen's eyes.

Wu Xiuying felt a chill in her chest.

At this time, the third brother, Li Mohai, rushed in anxiously, "Why is it so slow? The Yang family is losing patience! If this continues, others will think we have broken off the engagement!"

Li Zicheng sneered, "Mom has changed her mind and said she won't get married. Third brother, I think you and your partner are already seeing each other. Anyway, Mom just said that we should both remain single!"

These rather resentful words made Li Mohai's eyes darken.

Li Mohai's face turned pale. "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? We've already taken the money. If the Yang family sues us for fraud, we'll be finished!"

After saying that, Li Mohai turned to look at Li Yuzhen and said earnestly, "Little sister, you are our biological sister. How could you bear to see the second and third brothers being single? Not to mention me, the second brother's girlfriend is already pregnant. If she delays it any longer and is discovered, there will be gossip."

"You can't be too selfish. As a girl, you eat and use the family's things, so you should at least make some contribution."

Li Yuzhen's eyes suddenly became empty. Listening to Li Mohai's words, her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. Was she really too selfish?

"Bang!"

There was a sudden and violent slamming of the table.

The three children in the family all looked at Wu Xiuying.

Wu Xiuying's eyes turned cold, her face filled with anger.

Not to mention Li Yuzhen, even she felt angry after hearing it.

"You two bastards, you think selling your sister is just a matter of course. Chengzi, you got someone else's daughter pregnant and you want your sister to support you. Only useless people would come to your mother's family to eat their blood. You've been working for several years and haven't given a penny to the family. You sneak into our house like a rat demon all day long. There's no money at home!"

"And Haizi, if you want to date someone, go save your own money. If you want to get married, go earn your own money. You stay home all day, wandering around, and you say Yuzhen is a girl, but she helps out at home every day, so at least she's making a contribution. I think you're the worst of the bunch. You're almost twenty years old, and you're still living at home for free! You're so old, and you still have to ask me to wash your underwear? Do you have any shame?"

When Wu Xiuying was young, she was a member of a production team. At that time, she relied on grabbing to get things done. She had practiced her tongue very well and could scold people without beating around the bush.

He scolded his two sons so much that they were stunned.

Who would have thought that the mother who usually doted on him would actually start cursing at him.

Li Zicheng was so angry that his face turned red.

Li Mohai's expression was even more interesting, sometimes black and sometimes white.

Only Li Yuzhen was speechless with shock. "Mom... is this defending her?" The warmth surging from her chest almost blurred her eyes.
