There was an old mother and four children in the family. Geng Jianguo was more than ten years older than Da Ya, and she became a stepmother after marrying into the family. Everyone in the village said that Li Dahua was heartless, but she only wanted the dowry that the Geng family gave.

What's the difference between this and selling your daughter?

She added that Daya had always been obedient since she was little, and it was possible that she would actually listen to her mother in this matter. Unexpectedly, this girl knew how to rebel.

"I've already found you a partner. Who told you to get married to Guang Sheng on your own?"

"Go and divorce him right now!"

"What are you saying, Mother? Guang Sheng and I formed a revolutionary family voluntarily. Your marriage was arranged. If Uncle Captain hears about this and reports it to his superiors, our whole family will have to go to the farm to make a living!"

Besides, Geng Jianguo just wants to spend money to hire a nanny. I don't want you to make a mistake by not marrying him!

Li Dahua's legs went weak after her daughter's words; these days, making a mistake could cost you your life.

The old women watching all started gossiping, "No wonder Da Ya resisted. The Geng family... everyone in the surrounding production teams knows their family. It's a living hell. You become a stepmother as soon as you enter the door. Is being a stepmother so easy?"

Someone asked Ning Yan, "Da Ya, did you really get your marriage certificate with Guang Sheng?"

Ning Yan nodded, "Yes, how could you say something like that?"

The team leader has already chosen an auspicious date; the wedding is in five days. Everyone, come and have a drink!

The onlookers started discussing it again, since Guang Sheng's reputation wasn't much better than Geng Jianguo's.

Li Dahua: "Who gave you permission to hold the wedding in five days? What about the bride price? If you don't give the bride price, you can forget about getting married!"

"A bride price? I didn't ask for one! We are all revolutionary comrades, we should help each other and make progress together."

He's unmarried and I'm unmarried; let's form a revolutionary family. What do we need a bride price for?

Upon hearing that no bride price was required, and thinking about how the two had already registered their marriage, Li Dahua immediately sat down on the ground and burst into tears. "Oh God, there's no way out! What family doesn't ask for a bride price when they get married? But my silly daughter was fooled and thought she was so clever!"

Ning Yan: "Mother, what are you saying?"

I insisted on dragging Guang Sheng to get the marriage certificate.

If we're talking about tricking people, it was me who tricked them. Guang Sheng hadn't wanted to get married for all these years, but I managed to win him over.

"Don't you think my daughter is amazing?"

Li Dahua wants to die!

What sins did she commit in her past lives to end up with such a dim-witted daughter who gave up everything for nothing?

"No, this can't just end like this. Yes, it can't end like this. I have to go to the Guang family and ask them how they dared to do this..."

"Mom, I advise you not to make a fuss, otherwise the team leader will accuse us of kidnapping someone's son, and then our whole family will suffer the consequences."

After Ning Yan finished speaking, she walked into the house, while her two younger brothers stood at the doorway, watching her coldly.

"Sis, did you really get your marriage certificate with Guangsheng?"

Ning Yan: "Yes."

The younger brother exclaimed anxiously, "What about my marriage? How could you do this?"

“Brother, it’s not that I can’t do this, but that you can do this too.”

Look at you, you're not ugly, you're tall, and you've even gone to school. If you work hard, there will definitely be young women like me who are willing to marry you without a dowry, right?

"Little brother, keep it up! Your older sister believes in you!"

It's pointless to reason with an ungrateful child; it's all in vain. Just live your own life well.

If brothers and sisters get along well, they are relatives; if they don't, they are enemies.

The best way to get revenge on your enemy is to live a better life than them.

My younger brother's breathing became heavier; he was furious.

But with so many people gathered around the house, he really didn't dare say anything more, though his eyes were filled with daggers as he looked at Ning Yan.

Ning Yan ignored him, smiling as she went into the house. She would try anything if she had a plan, but otherwise she would keep it to herself.

He's incapable of getting a wife himself, so he tries to get one from someone else. Why doesn't he just die?

At this moment, the original owner's biological father, Ning Shizhu, returned.

"What are you all doing gathered around my house? Let's all move out, we're about to start work."

Aunt Chun and the others knew there was no excitement to be had, so they all went home.

The area in front of the Ning family's house finally became quiet.

In the original owner's memory, her biological father was usually quiet, but he always agreed to all the decisions Li Dahua made.

Li Dahua was the one who did all the bad things, while her biological father always managed to stay perfectly hidden.

As soon as he returned, he called into the house, telling Ning Yan to come out and talk.

Ning Yan wanted to hear what he had to say, so she went out.

In the rural house, the kitchen is in the front with two large stoves, and the dining area is in the back. Their dining table is a low table, so the stools are also small stools that are even lower than folding stools. Ning Shizhu took a small stool and sat down, and Ning Yan also took one and sat opposite him.

"Did she really get a marriage certificate with Guang Sheng, the brigade leader's son?"

Ning Yan nodded, and then smiled and glanced at her father.

Ning Shizhu sensed the provocation from his eldest daughter, but his words were calm: "Marrying Guang Sheng is not bad either. We're in the same production team, and our families can take care of each other."

However, you can't refuse the bride price, otherwise the villagers will say you're worthless.

"You want a bride price? Fine, how much dowry are you and my mother planning to give me? I'll demand the same amount of bride price for every dowry you give!"

The implication is that there will be no dowry and no bride price.

Ning Shizhu clenched his back teeth.

“That’s right. I should talk to the brigade leader about this directly. What do you, a child, know?”

"Go ahead and tell me, as long as you're not afraid the brigade leader will accuse you of marriage fraud."

Guangsheng didn't want to get a marriage certificate with me. I insisted on not doing it, and his family reluctantly agreed.

"If you really go and ask for a bride price, who knows how many years you could be sentenced for marriage fraud?"

Ning Shizhu was speechless.

This is a truth everyone understands: you can say whatever you want before you get the marriage certificate, but once you get the certificate, you belong to someone else.

Once the certificate is issued, who would want to pay an extra fee?

Moreover, the brigade leader has a lot of power in the team. If we really offend him, we're afraid we won't have a good time in the future.

Therefore, he didn't even dare to say anything about his daughter getting a divorce.

Da Ya is really something; she cleverly outmaneuvered him.

Ning Shizhu's face was ashen, as if his own mother had died.

In a fit of anger, he raised his hand to hit someone, while his younger siblings and Li Dahua watched from the sidelines, practically cheering Ning Shizhu on.

Ning Yan stared at Ning Shizhu, but perhaps he used too much force, because his slap didn't land on Ning Yan's face, and he fell backward.

Ning Yan heard a crisp sound of a head hitting the ground.

This is a real kowtow, but the sides are reversed!

Ah~

"My dear husband~"

"Father, Father, what's wrong?"

Those others, no longer bothering to watch the commotion, rushed out to check on Ning Shizhu's condition. (End of Chapter)
