"Everyone thought that was the end of it, but later, because the girl's parents insisted on appealing, the case was overturned with the help of the new police station chief."

"In the end, the girl's husband and mother-in-law both confessed."

“They killed the people; their goal was to get the house.”

"And do you know what?"

"Before they were arrested, the girl's husband had already remarried and moved back into her own house."

Zhao Hui became a little agitated, and her voice grew louder and less gentle, "A girl should never marry down. My daughter is a tragic example!"

"Even if your man is good, he can't sever ties with his family forever."

She knew something about Ruan Xi's parents' situation.

She glanced at Sang Feiyu subconsciously, and then heard her say, "Xiao Xi, my grandmother is right."

"Girls should never marry down. If my maternal grandparents hadn't agreed to my mother marrying my father, she might still be alive today."

“My grandparents regret this matter now, which is why she told you these things so directly and clearly. We also hope that you can listen to her and not regret it later.”

Ruan Xi swayed unsteadily, stumbled, and almost lost her balance.

Sang Feiyu's mother passed away, but her maternal grandparents helped her avenge her death. If she were to die, she would have no family behind her, and no one might even know she died.

She felt a chill run down her spine when she thought about it.

She suddenly became afraid to get married.

Seeing this, Sang Feiyu quickly comforted her, "We're just analyzing the situation for you; not all in-laws are like that."

Ruan Xi tried hard to recall her interactions with her fiancé's family, and she seemed to be able to guess what their schemes were.

Because she has no family, because she has a house, and because no one will investigate her death.

"Xiaoyu, Grandma, what should I do now? I don't really want to get married anymore."

“Ruan Xi, you need to think this through carefully. You can’t make a decision about this so quickly,” Sang Feiyu said.

“I’ve thought about it. I might face the situations that Grandma just mentioned in the future.”

"And...and when we got married, I didn't ask for any dowry."

“Hua Ming said that he has many children in his family and that his parents raised them with great difficulty, so I softened and did not ask for a bride price.”

Zhao Hui and Sang Feiyu were stunned. No bride price, and they were even asked to live in the woman's house?

What else could this be but a live-in son-in-law?

The key issue is that they don't want to be live-in sons-in-law!

"Xiao Xi, I'm not trying to criticize you, but you can't be soft-hearted about this kind of thing. Think about the family you're going to marry into; they might not even be able to afford the most basic dowry in the area. How could you dare to marry into such a family?"

"If you marry into their family, you'll be helping them out of poverty, becoming their bloodsucker. Everything you own will become their property."

Zhao Hui knew that the local bride price was basically the lowest in the country. If a family couldn't even afford the local bride price, what girl would dare to marry into such a family?

“He Huaming has a job. If his parents can’t afford the bride price, can’t he afford it either?”

"Is he unable to afford it, disrespectful, or does he think you have no one to back you up and just wants to say nice things to appease you?"

Every word Zhao Hui said struck a chord with Ruan Xi.

She desperately wanted someone to be with her, which is why she was in such a hurry to get married.

"Grandma, please stop talking. I know I regret it."

"Anyway, when we got engaged, their family didn't give us anything, so breaking off the engagement only requires a verbal statement."

Sang Feiyu cautioned, "Don't be impulsive. We need to discuss these things carefully and decide later."
