"I believe we can definitely make a good life together, so you can rest assured," Fang Qing continued, her voice trembling slightly, filled with genuine emotion.

She knew she couldn't persuade her parents who had come with such intentions, so she wasn't really saying this to them, but to everyone else present.

Especially since she had just clearly seen the figure flash by outside, which looked like Wang Changjiu, she figured that the fool would be moved by her words and would treat her even better in the future.

Now she knows that the path she is on is only a forced choice. But since there are no better options, she can only try her best to gain more benefits and live a better life in the future.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Fang frowned and remained silent for a long time, realizing that it would be impossible to stop the marriage under the current circumstances.

Although the conditions offered by Director Lin were very tempting, he didn't want to risk going to jail by forcibly taking Fang Qing away.

They had no choice but to settle for second best and try to gain greater benefits for themselves. On this point, it must be said that the Fang mother and daughter were surprisingly in agreement.

After a long silence, Mr. Fang finally spoke up: "Qing'er, we just want you to be happy and don't want you to suffer."

But since you've already decided on this marriage, there's no point in your mother and I objecting.

But you're still a child. Getting married isn't something you can just do because you two like each other and randomly pick a date.

"You should at least give a bride price, right? Your mother and I raised you with so much hardship. Any sensible family wouldn't just marry you off without giving a single penny. That would show they don't value you at all, my silly daughter."

At this moment, Fang's mother also came to her senses, her eyes glistening with tears. She took Chen Chuncao's hand and said, "Child, your aunt isn't an unreasonable person, but tell me, how can the Wang family do things like this? My precious daughter, whom I've pampered and spoiled, has grown up like this, and not only did they not give a single penny of dowry, but they also set the wedding date without even consulting us."

They don't even respect us parents, which clearly shows they don't value my Qing'er!

How can we, as parents, feel at ease entrusting our daughters to families like that?

When Mr. and Mrs. Fang brought up the matter, those who had come to mediate found it difficult to speak up, because the Wang family's actions were indeed unethical.

How can someone get married without consulting the girl's family beforehand, and not even give a single penny of dowry? No wonder the girl's parents disagree.

They might have the same thoughts if they were in their shoes.

So when Fang's parents said that, no one else in the room could say a word. Even Wang Gui and Liu Guihua, the couple, lowered their heads guiltily.

To everyone's surprise, Fang Qing spoke up again at that moment: "Mom and Dad, it was I who brought up the bride price. Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang did nothing wrong."

Changjiu Ge suffered from numerous illnesses while saving me. I was also sick for a long time after I fell into the water, and Aunt Wang took good care of me. Even the medical expenses were paid by Changjiu Ge's family.

Mom and Dad, this is a life-saving grace; no amount of dowry can repay it.

So, Mom and Dad, I can't accept this bride price, and I won't accept it.

Fang Qing's words surprised everyone, including Wang Changjiu, who rushed over upon hearing the news but did not enter the house.

He never expected that he would be so lucky. This wife he had found was not only beautiful and well-educated, but also so understanding and, most importantly, deeply devoted to him.

All of this made Wang Changjiu feel incredibly happy and fulfilled, and his heart was filled with anticipation for the future.

At this moment, Wang Changjiu stood outside the door, his emotions still running high and he could not calm down for a long time.

Fang Qing's deep affection moved Wang Changjiu deeply. He secretly vowed to cherish Fang Qing and do his best to make her live a happy life.

Thinking of this, Wang Changjiu felt as if he had been struck hard by a heavy hammer. He could no longer hide outside and eavesdrop. He suddenly opened the door and hurriedly went inside.

He quickly walked to Fang Qing's side, shielding her behind him without hesitation. His eyes widened as he glared at the Fang couple and shouted, "It's just a bride price! Don't make things difficult for Qing'er. I, Wang Changjiu, will give you the bride price even if I have to sell everything I own!"

As for our marriage, no one is allowed to interfere! I don't care who you are, but if anyone dares to utter another word against it, don't blame me for being impolite.

Wang Changjiu's voice was full of firmness and determination, as if he were declaring his love for Fang Qing to the whole world.

The Fang couple were startled by Wang Changjiu's sudden action and were speechless for a moment.

They looked at the young man in front of them; he was tall and strong, but they seemed a bit dumbfounded.

This filled the Fang couple, who were already dissatisfied with the marriage, with doubts and dissatisfaction.

They never imagined that their smart and beautiful daughter would choose such a naive young man.

The Fang couple couldn't understand what their daughter saw in this man. They were filled with confusion and helplessness, their hearts brimming with questions and anger.

However, Wang Changjiu completely ignored the obviously unpleasant expressions on the faces of the Fang couple.

He seemed completely disregarding the feelings of the Fang couple, and after saying everything he wanted to say, he pulled Fang Qing out of the house without looking back, leaving everyone else behind.

The Fang couple stared in stunned silence as they watched them leave.
