Chapter 161 Are all mothers this scary?

Fang Erniu said she didn't know, and said angrily, "You say my cousin is her son, but my cousin isn't her own flesh and blood? As soon as she heard there was 600 yuan to be had, she wouldn't even try to fight for my cousin. She even advised my mother not to spoil me too much, saying that if I'm spoiled, I'll become an old maid that no one will want and that I'll be worthless. It makes me so angry!"

"That's going too far! What kind of elder is that!" Old Su San said angrily.

Fang Erniu nodded, "My mom had a huge fight with her, saying she was selling her daughter. My aunt even said that the only reason to raise a daughter is to earn some dowry to support the family when she marries into her family. If you're so capable, why don't you ask for a dowry when your daughter gets married in the future? I jumped out and said I didn't want a dowry. Do you know what my aunt said?"

"Oh, how so?"

"She said I was throwing myself at her, and that my future husband and his family wouldn't take me seriously. She said all sorts of things, and my mom was so angry she almost got into a fight with my aunt..."

Su Laosan was also angry, his brows furrowed tightly. "You didn't even eat their rice, so why does she have the right to say such things to insult you? They're relatives, how can she be like this?!"

He was angry, but Fang Erniu wasn't angry anymore. She gripped his shirt even tighter in her hand and smiled.

"That's what my mom said to her back then. She didn't care about liking you anymore and just kept praising you, saying how good my daughter's boyfriend was to her, giving her whatever she wanted, and that her boyfriend's mom treated my daughter like her own daughter. They insisted on giving her a dowry even though we didn't want it, and it was over a thousand yuan! We couldn't refuse! Hahaha..."

In the end, he laughed so hard that he leaned on Su Laosan's back and started laughing.

Su Laosan was also amused, never expecting his future mother-in-law to give him so much face.

"You have no idea what my aunt's face looked like. She was so angry that she turned blue and wouldn't talk to my mom for a long time."

After laughing, she sighed and said, "My cousin initially threatened to kill herself if she didn't get married, but then, I don't know what happened, she suddenly said she was willing to get married and even asked me to come over and help her with her eyebrows. She wants to look beautiful on her wedding day. Sigh..."

"You're willing to marry him again?"

Su Laosan asked curiously, "Why?"

Fang Erniu shook her head and said she didn't know. "My aunt told me to go with my mom a day earlier. She said that although they are getting married, there will be many relatives and friends from the village coming to give gifts and return the favor. There will definitely be a lot of people in the family, and they need someone to keep the guests company. So, I can't come to see you for the next two days."

The two chatted all the way until they reached the entrance of Fang Erniu's village.

Su Laosan got out of the car, blinked, and asked Fang Erniu, "Should I go help too? Take the opportunity to show off in front of your mother again?"

Forget it.

Fang Erniu shook her head. "My grandparents think you're good at business and you're kind to me, so they're about to approve of you. But my mom thinks you're glib and your business is unstable and unreliable, making money on a whim. Neither side will give in. My dad is such a fickle person, he's on my grandparents' side today and my mom's side tomorrow. Plus, there are my older brother and younger brother. It's so lively at home. If you go and make a scene in front of my mom now, and she gets angry, we'll both be finished!"

Su Laosan shrank back as he listened, whispering to Fang Erniu, "You mean all mothers are this scary? You won't be like this when you become a mother, will you?"

Are you stupid?

Fang Erniu glanced at him and said, "If I become like this as a mother, it's not good for the child, but not for you. What are you afraid of?"

Su Laosan gave a dry laugh.

He said, "Are you afraid of teachers who are divided into math teachers and language arts teachers?"

Fang Erniu, "..."

"Oh, what should we do then?"

The two stared at each other for a long time before finally deciding, "Should we not have the baby?"

On the other side, the bride finally woke up and found herself lying in her own bed, her wedding dress changed into home clothes, and her mother sitting at the head of the bed.

"mom……"

Seeing that she had woken up, her biological mother breathed a sigh of relief and asked her if she felt unwell anywhere.

The bride got out of bed and begged her mother.

"Mom, please save Jiefang! He's such a good person, how could he poison someone? There must be some misunderstanding, Mom..."

“Nannan…”

Her mother looked at her with a complicated expression, her gaze shifting to her abdomen. She sighed heavily, as if expressing her disappointment, "You know why you fainted, right? You're more than two months pregnant!"

The bride instinctively covered her stomach and looked at her mother warily.

Seeing her actions, her mother paused, "It was just over two months ago. Back then, our two families had just agreed on the engagement. Lin Jiefang personally promised that after the marriage, you would have a new house to live in, brand new furniture, and all the 'three turns and one sound' (referring to a series of metal parts, a sewing machine, and a radio) would be provided. Do you know what he did in the end?"

"What? A new house, furniture, and a radio, sewing machine, and a smart speaker are all included?" the bride asked, puzzled.

The mother sighed, "My silly daughter, your uncle investigated. That new house is rented, and the furniture inside is cheap secondhand stuff he bought, with fresh paint! What's so good about a man who's a liar and doesn't even have the most basic premarital respect for you?! My dear!"

"Mom, it's not like that..."

The bride was stunned by her mother's words, tears streaming down her face. She shook her head and said, "He's good to me, Mom. He's really, really good to me."

Her biological mother felt heartbroken and helpless seeing her so stubborn.

"Darling, why is he so good to you? Because your father is the director of an auto parts factory, and your uncle is the secretary of the municipal government office. Marrying you will save him ten years of hard work. Darling, wake up!"

“Mom, we truly love each other. He loves me and married me. Even if it has anything to do with my dad and my uncle’s status, it’s just icing on the cake. You can’t deny his love for me because of that.”

The bride shook her head and reached for her mother's hand. "Mom, I don't believe he would harm anyone. Please ask my uncle to help him, okay? I'm pregnant with his child. My child can't be without a father. If he becomes a murderer, his life is over, my life is over, and what about your grandchild..."

"Then we shouldn't have this child!"

The auto parts factory director walked in with a cold face. His uncle was a step behind him. When he saw his haggard and pale niece, he sighed softly.

The director said, "Before the court's verdict, you and Lin Jiefang should get a divorce and have an abortion."

"don't want."

The bride clutched her belly, tears streaming down her face. "Dad, please, no! I can't live without Liberation and my child."

"You're insane!"

The director was so angry by her words that his face turned ashen.

"Your mother and I have repeatedly told you that you are not allowed to get too close to Lin Jiefang before the wedding. You promised us that, so why are you so shameless as to fool around with him before the wedding?!"

“He was such a good person, his mother was so good to me, and he even took me to see their new yard, new furniture, and new crib. He said he would be good to me and the child for the rest of his life. How could I have known it would turn out like this?”

The bride wept uncontrollably and went to beg her uncle.

"Uncle, please save Jiefang! He knew I was pregnant, how could he do something so dangerous? There must be some misunderstanding, Uncle..."

"He knows you're pregnant," the uncle asked.

The bride nodded.

The uncle glanced at the director and the bride's mother, then firmly shook his head. "This person can't be saved, and Nannan can't have this child. Sister, you should take Nannan to have an abortion."

"Why?"

The bride cried and asked, "What if those people can't stand to see Jiefang doing well and want to harm him? Uncle, please, murderers have to pay with their lives. Jiefang is such a kind person, how could he do such a heinous thing?"

"Take her to the nearby provincial capital first thing tomorrow morning and find a hospital you don't know to have an abortion."

The director looked at his wife, who glanced at their daughter with pity and nodded helplessly.

"Mom and Dad, we've been waiting for this child for so long. Jiefang said the first child would take my surname. This is your grandson! He's almost three months pregnant. How can you bear to do this?" the bride cried.

The director's expression shifted slightly as he glanced at her stomach.
