"You brat, if you don't talk, I'll sell you off. There's a good old bachelor in the next village, *slap slap*..."

Xia Laidi didn't care. She already had a bad attitude towards her daughter, and if it weren't for the man being in charge and her in-laws...

She was reluctant to pay for her daughter's schooling, but after her eldest daughter started working, she thought it was a good thing. She would have 10 yuan a month, and by the time her third daughter started working, the family would have 10 yuan a month.

The men she found later were all excellent, and Xia Laidi received everyone's envy. They were all grown up, which was great, and she could still be filial to her parents every year.

Daya and Sanya never stopped receiving gifts during holidays, and they also gave each other money every year. Daya received 5 yuan every month, and later Sanya...

Thinking that her family gave her ten yuan a month, which would amount to 120 yuan a year, Xia Laidi woke up laughing every day.

I was thinking that it would be soon, and I would stay for two years, paying my salary at 15 yuan a month, which would be 36 yuan for two years.

After supporting my education for so many years, I should at least get my money's worth, but today...

Xia Laidi remembered, and her hand began to tighten...

"Ah... Mother... I'll talk... I'll talk...!"

"His name is Wei Tianlai, he's 19 years old, the eldest in his family. His parents are both textile factory workers, and he has two younger brothers and two younger sisters. They live in apartment 402, building number 3 of the textile factory's staff quarters!"

Unable to bear it any longer, Gya dared not hide it. She hadn't expected her parents to return and discover them.

Waaah.....

And the reason was the way her grandparents looked at her; they had never looked at her with such disdain before, and they were afraid that they would really kick her out the next second.

Finally, Su Xia waited until Chen Jianjun left before preparing to go home, leaving Xia Lai Di to handle things herself!

"Sister-in-law, wait for me!"

Su Xia turned around and saw Liu Chunxia. "Third sister-in-law, is something the matter?"

Liu Chunxia shook her head. "Sister-in-law, do you think she slept with someone or not?"

Su Xia was speechless. So direct? "I don't know, we'll find out when they get here!"

"Heh... I never thought she'd do something like this. But she's my second sister-in-law's daughter, so it's not surprising!" Liu Chunxia was genuinely gloating, wishing she could go and expose everything right now.

Su Xia frowned, "Third sister-in-law, we're still family after all!"

"Sister-in-law, I really can't compare to you. I haven't read as many books as you, and I'm not as smart or capable as you...!"

But you never say anything about me.

Su Xia blinked...

Liu Chunxia looked towards the main room and said, "My second sister-in-law always thought that my eldest daughter married well, and that my third daughter married a military officer, whose rank was higher than my second daughter's. She's always been quick to put me down in the village..."

"Hmph... Now you've really slapped yourself in the face. There were signs of this all along, but Second Sister-in-law ignored it. To be honest, she has no one to blame but herself; she's the one who's been thinking of this."

"Why don't you get married first?" Su Xia interrupted!

Liu Chunxia gave a disdainful smile. "After the job, stay for two years, and pay 15 yuan per month from your salary. That's 360 yuan in two years. After marriage, you'll be like Daya and Sanya, paying 5 yuan per month..."

'Tsk tsk... Second sister-in-law's wishful thinking was really clever, but this time it's all for naught....!'

Bang....

"Hey, let me tell you, if they don't want you, I'll sell you to the mountains...!"

Xia Laidi's scolding woke Su Xia up. In the end, she didn't say anything and went straight home.

All I can see in my mind is Gya's image, from childhood to adulthood, but the final image is of her being beaten up just now...

"Mother, what happened?"

Su Xia looked at the worried Niu Niu, shook her head, and went back to her room, but Niu Niu and Da Bao still followed her.

Su Xia didn't hide anything and briefly explained what happened to Ge Ya.

What......

Niu Niu and Da Bao were increasingly shocked as they listened, especially Niu Niu, who had been best friends with 꾉丫 since childhood.

"Mom, how could Sister Ya be so confused?" Da Bao really didn't understand.

"Who knew? Da Bao went out to play, don't tell anyone!"

"Let it go, I'm not a child anymore!"

"Mom, should I still go see Gya?" Niu Niu asked.

"Don't go. She's locked up right now. Tell Liuya not to go back yet; she'll stay with you for now!"

"Okay, what's going on here!"

......

The siblings went inside and carefully closed the door. Su Xia frowned, her head aching, as she listened to the sound of the door closing.

She fell asleep without realizing it. When Su Xia woke up, Chen Jianguo woke her up.

"Why are you back?" Su Xia asked in shock.

Chen Jianguo smiled wryly, "With such a big thing happening at home, how could I not come back?"

Su Xia frowned. "Did the second and third brothers come to find you?"

"Yeah, otherwise the second son definitely wouldn't be able to hold on, and he'd end up smashing it!"

"What time is it now?"

"Hey, Niu Niu and Liu Ya are cooking, aren't you going to help?"

Su Xia nodded. "So only you guys came back?"

Chen Jianguo shook his head. "The boy and his parents are both here!"

Su Xia, who was in the middle of the rain, was shocked and shouted incredulously, "You still have the guts to come?"

"I wouldn't dare not come. The third brother will go directly to them and say that if they don't take responsibility, they'll sue them for hooliganism!"

*Pfft...*

Su Xia's eyes widened. Chen Jianguo seemed to know what she was thinking and said confidently, "Third brother really listens to you. You have no idea, the boy was so scared he wet his pants. His parents originally wanted to smooth things over, but they directly proposed marriage and arranged the wedding!"

Su Xia....

Seeing Chen Jianguo staring at her, she said irritably, "Isn't that because you're afraid they won't admit it!"

"Besides, if the second daughter's family doesn't want her, can't she simply not marry into the family?"

"Sigh... what are you saying? In this state, who else would you marry if not you?"

"Tch, divorce is fine, but premarital romance is not!" Su Xia said sarcastically.

Chen Jianguo was speechless and could only explain, "Wife, that's divorce. Premarital relationships can end, but this isn't even a relationship anymore!"

Su Xia... Okay, shut up. If they're happy to do it, then they're happy to do it.

"Going back to the old house?"

"Hmm, let's go see. The second son's family wants too much; they're a little reluctant!"

"What do you want?"

"The three essential items—a bicycle, a sewing machine, and a watch—along with a dowry of 200 yuan, all have to stay at home!"

"Um... Xia Laidi really dares to say that!"

"So they started arguing again, this time with the man's mother!"

"Arguing is nothing new for her!"

"Didn't your parents say anything?"

"They mean, the sooner the wedding, the better!"

"What do you mean?"

"I'm afraid she'll get pregnant..."

"Oh my god... I completely forgot about this. If it really happened, it would be such an embarrassing thing!" Su Xia exclaimed.

Unable to adapt to local customs, Su Xia went to the kitchen first. "Niu Niu, dinner's ready, you guys eat first!"

Niu Niu nodded, "Daddy, Mommy, I've saved some for you. Put it in the pot!"

"Auntie, am I really not going back?" Liu Ya asked from the side.

"Don't go back yet, go back to the place where you don't live!" Su Xia didn't want Liu Ya and Gu Ya to continue living together.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ya nodded vigorously, saying she would do anything if she could stay at her aunt's house.

When Su Xia and Chen Jianguo arrived at the old house, all they heard was Xia Laidi's shouting.

"No discussion! The three main items are non-negotiable, and the bride price must be 200 yuan. Not a word can be waived!"

"Bullshit! Your daughter isn't even a virgin, what's she worth?"

"Then you should ask your son. If it weren't for him, my daughter would have married even better..."

"You...no, my family has no money. We don't have any of the three essential items (housing, furniture, and accessories), and the bride price is only 20!"

"Are you trying to fob me off like a beggar? The three main items and the 200 dowry are not to be missed!" Xia Laidi's roar startled everyone in the house.

Su Xia was speechless. Xia Laidi was already shameless enough, but she didn't expect the other party to be even more shameless.

Listening to the two of them, Su Xia could already see how the two families would get along in the future.
