Chapter 21 The Marriage Failed

"We can't afford a daughter-in-law like you." Zhao's mother sneered and said, "If you insist on calling the police, then we will. Let them check who wrote this note."

Zhao Qi secretly pulled her mother's sleeve, but her mother shrugged her off with a cold face. At the critical moment, she couldn't show her weakness. If she could scare Liu Hongying, the problem could be solved by spending some money.

Because Lin Xiangnan did not leave Liu Hongying much time, Liu Hongying's plan was actually very rough.

Not only did Hu Meili directly target her, but the onlookers in the yard also guessed that it was her who did it.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be no one who spoke up for Liu Hongying last night. She was also a child who grew up under the care of everyone in the courtyard, so she wouldn't be so indifferent to the incense.

But what if she guessed it? Liu Hongying did use some tricks, but didn’t you, Zhao Qi, lose control of yourself too?

If a girl tries to get into your arms, would you really dare to embrace her?

You deserve to be contaminated and unable to get rid of it.

Liu Hongying stopped crying at this time and looked at Zhao's mother calmly, "Okay. You go ask the police to find out who wrote the note. Then ask the police to check whether Zhao Qi took advantage of me last night."

Zhao Qi also knew that he was in the wrong, otherwise he would not have admitted it last night. Seeing Zhao's mother and Liu Hongying arguing with each other, he was so anxious that he was almost sweating.

Although he didn't want to marry Liu Hongying, he didn't want to go to labor camp even more.

Just as he was about to beg, his mother slapped him in the face.

Mother Zhao cursed, "You are a useless bastard. I have raised you in vain. You can marry this woman, but I won't give you a penny. You have to pay for the bride price and find a place to get married. I won't help you anyway."

Zhao's father also kicked him and said, "You've been working for so many years, and your monthly salary is not enough to spend. When you get married in the future, it will be impossible for us old couple to support you."

Zhao Qi is an only child and has been spoiled for so many years. He has never been beaten before. He was stunned all of a sudden.

Last night his parents felt sorry for him and were feeling sorry for him, but today he faced a mixed doubles match against them.

The Zhao family's attitude made Liu Laohei feel embarrassed.

At this time, he no longer felt sorry for Liu Hongying.

Liu Laohei was really angry and said with a sullen face: "Okay. Since you don't want to get married, then send your boy to labor reform. Anyway, our Hongying can't suffer this loss in vain."

"I will marry her. I will marry her." Zhao Qi was the first to give in.

Mother Zhao glared at her son with a look of dismay, then she put on a smile and softened her attitude and said, "I know that you love your daughter, Brother Liu. This boy of mine is blind. He accidentally scared Hongying last night. How about this? My family will give you 100 yuan as compensation. Is that okay?"

After eating the gossip about divorce for the whole morning, Zhao's mother actually realized that Liu Laohei did not really love Liu Hongying, otherwise he would not have beaten and scolded her, so when intimidation failed, she turned to bribery.

"This compensation gift is paid by us, the old couple. As for the betrothal gift, the family had agreed that Zhao Qi should earn it himself. But Zhao Qi has been working for so many years and has not saved any money. If he gets married now, he can't afford the betrothal gift. If he wants to prepare everything for the wedding, Zhao Qi may have to save for another two years."

There will be no dowry when marrying off a daughter, but if this matter is exposed, there will be compensation. No matter how you look at it, it is more cost-effective to take the money directly.

"Young people are not stable. After a while, they might not like each other anymore, and then they break up or divorce, which is so ridiculous."

When talking about divorce, she looked at Liu Hongying coldly.

The meaning was very clear, she was not happy with this marriage and she would not give any help.

If Liu Hongying dares to marry, then come. Even if she does, she won't have a good life in the Zhao family. When the time is right, the Zhao family will file for divorce.

The idea of ​​divorce came to her just now, otherwise Zhao's mother would not have thought of it.

Liu Hongying didn't expect Zhao's mother to be so cruel. She turned to look at Hu Meili in shock.

When Hu Meili was trying to coax Lin Xiangnan, she said all sorts of things, saying that the Zhao family's parents were kind people, that there were few people in the family, and that they all had jobs, that they could eat meat every now and then, that the family had only one son for three generations, and that if they had a child, the child would definitely be raised as a treasure by the family...

She thought that the Zhao family were all honest people, and even if they didn't like her, they would just accept it. Who knew that the reality would be like this.

Hu Meili felt guilty for a rare time, so she turned her head slightly and did not dare to look at Liu Hongying's expression.

She didn't expect that Zhao's mother was so powerful and almost ruined her own child.

Lin Xiangnan had no idea of ​​Hu Meili's little thoughts. He was just busy eating melons and looking at Liu Hongying curiously, looking forward to her choice.

Liu Hongying clenched her hands nervously, with countless thoughts flashing through her mind.

She had no job, so even if she married into the Zhao family, she would still have to please the Zhao family. If the Zhao family was cruel and didn't give her money or food, she wouldn't be able to make a living and would have to ask for a divorce.

The only thing she could gamble on was whether she could get pregnant with Zhao Qi's child in time. No matter how cruel the Zhao family was, they would not be cruel to an unborn child.

But Zhao Qi's face control is obvious. He likes good-looking people. It's not certain whether I can catch his eye. I can't even get into bed with him, let alone have children.

If she married and then divorced Zhao Qi, her situation would only become more difficult.

Liu Hongying thought for a while, and finally said, "Two hundred yuan. This incident has affected my reputation. I won't be able to get married properly in the next one or two years. Zhao Qi has to compensate me two hundred yuan."

As long as she didn't plan to fight to the death, Zhao's mother secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I only have a hundred dollars in savings at home, so I brought it directly. I don't have much more."

In fact, this money can also be used as a betrothal gift to marry Liu Hongying home. This is also simple to handle.

But Zhao's mother really didn't dare let her son marry someone with bad intentions. If that happened, the family would be in a mess like the Liu family, and she, as an old woman, would suffer.

Mother Zhao took the money out of her bosom and placed it on the table. "If Hongying doesn't bother about what happened last night, you can just take the money."

Money feels better when it's right in front of you.

Before Liu Hongying could say anything, Liu Laohei immediately made the decision, "Okay. This matter ends here."

"But you have to write a letter of guarantee, so that we won't bring up the past later."

"OK."

Hu Meili, who was watching the joke, was unhappy and annoyed. If she had known to let the Zhao family negotiate first, she might have had a share of the money then.

Just as she was about to stand up and say something, Old Man Hu coughed heavily and said, "Liu Hongying's matter has been resolved. You and Liu Laohei have also signed the separation agreement. You should hurry to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get things done. It's getting late."
