"July, the Lin family doesn't know you're back yet. Do you want to go back and check on them after you've eaten?" Lin Hua asked, looking at Lin Qiyue.
On the way back, Lin Qiyue learned from Uncle Li that the Lin family's wife was the wife of the original owner's second uncle, and she was no pushover.
Although she was paid 200 yuan to let Lin Qiyue and Qian Xiuying leave, she has been trying to find out information over the years and use Lin Qiyue's connection to secure a future for her child.
Despite their continued inquiries yielding no results, Lin Qiyue, having grown up somewhat, kept asking Liang Guoliang to write to the Lan family, saying that her hometown had found her a man and that she should come back and meet him when she had time.
Moreover, he was an old bachelor who had lost two wives, yet he was willing to pay eighty yuan to marry Lin Qiyue. However, after being warned by the village secretary, they stopped talking about it.
Lin Qiyue chuckled inwardly. These Lin family members didn't want to raise her; now that she's grown up, they want to sell her.
"No, we won't be staying long after we get back. We'll be going back in a couple of days." Lin Qiyue's expression showed no interest whatsoever.
Lin Hua sighed, "If you hadn't gone, they might have come! They don't know you're married yet, they would definitely have come."
And just like that, what I said came true!
"Is Brother Li home?" came the woman's voice.
It was Lin Fu's wife, Huang Juanzi, the original owner's second aunt, and she seemed very happy.
Without waiting for a response, he went straight in and immediately saw Lin Qiyue.
"July is back. Your grandma and I prepared a meal for you at home and came to pick you up for dinner. You'll stay with your sister September tonight." Seeing how beautiful Lin Qiyue was, they felt that eighty yuan was too little. They also heard that Lin Qiyue was a high school student.
This job was highly sought after at the school factory. When he returned, he told the Wan family that he needed 200 yuan. If they didn't agree, he could stay at home. His monthly salary might be enough to support his family.
Her ambition was clearly visible on her face as she stepped forward and took Lin Qiyue's hand.
"July, your grandparents miss you very much. Come home with your aunt." She had already gone to call the old man from the Wan family to come over with gifts.
As long as she goes back and sits there, everything will be settled.
"Why would I go back? Which company are you planning to sell to this time?" Lin Qiyue shook off Huang Juanzi, her eyes filled with undisguised contempt.
Lin Hua also glanced nervously at her husband.
Huang Juanzi's expression changed instantly, and she said, trying to hide her smile, "Oh dear, July, what are you saying? I just want you to come home for a meal. We haven't seen each other for years, shouldn't you go home and see your grandparents?"
Liang Hua sneered and retorted, "Huang Juanzi, your thoughts go beyond just getting Qiyue to go home for a visit, don't they? Maybe once she goes back, she won't be able to leave the house again, and when she does, she'll be that hoodlum's wife, won't she?"
"Sister Liang, what are you saying? Besides, it's already the 21st of July. We're her family, so it's normal to talk to her about marriage. She can't stay an old maid forever." That was her plan, and she wasn't afraid to say it. She had no intention of letting Lin Qiyue leave this time she came back.
Even if she were to leave, she had to leave all her money behind; in the end, both her money and her person would have to stay.
Looking at their ugly faces, Lin Qiyue retorted angrily, "My mother already gave me two hundred yuan back then, and you've taken over the house my parents left behind. Everyone in the village knows that your Lin family abandoned me, and now you're making your own plans."
Seeing Lin Qiyue's sharp tongue, Huang Juanzi smiled awkwardly and said, "Qiyue, what are you saying!"
“I’m already married. Your plans are going to fall through. If you dare to arrange a marriage for me without my consent, I’ll go to the village and the city to report you for wantonly destroying my marriage with my husband.”
Lin Qiyue didn't want to hear her continue.
“We’re getting married, but you haven’t given us the bride price yet! Your grandparents and I don’t approve of this marriage.” Huang Juanzi blurted out her thoughts.
"The bride price, didn't you take that two hundred yuan?" Lin Qiyue looked at Huang Juanzi with sharp eyes.
“You are not a bride price, but something the Lan family is willing to give.”
"How shameless of you!" This was the first time Lin Qiyue had ever seen someone so shameless.
Huang Juanzi was anxious; if she got married, all her plans would fall through.
"I don't care. Either give me all the dowry for the wedding, or we get a divorce and remarry." Huang Juanzi only had money in her eyes; she wasn't afraid of a young girl.
They just detain people here, and nobody can do anything about it.
Upon hearing these words, Liang Guoliang was so angry that he came straight out of the kitchen and said angrily, "Huang Juanzi, I'm telling you, you're really shameless. Not only did you forcibly take the money that Brother Lin left behind, but you also tried to sell Qiyue as a child bride! The Lan family gave you the money, and Qiyue was raised by the Lan family. It's none of your business."
"That's right. If you're not convinced, let's gather everyone here to judge. So many people, including the brigade leader and the old village chief, testified that you took the money and said that from July onwards, you were no longer a member of the Lin family."
Lin Hua retorted loudly, saying, "I've seen shameless people before, but I've never seen anyone so shameless."
They all despised the Lin family's ways, but Lin Qiyue was different; she was Lan Yuchu's wife, and they couldn't let her bully her.
"You guys~ you guys~" Huang Juanzi was so angry she was speechless.
"Get lost!" Liang Guoliang walked forward, holding a spatula used for stir-frying.
He was fuming and spoke loudly, leaving Huang Juanzi speechless.
Knowing she was in the wrong, Huang Juanzi didn't dare say anything more and slunk away.
Watching Huang Juanzi leave, Lin Qiyue felt that she would definitely not let it go so easily and would definitely come back to cause trouble. Asking for money would probably be the norm for her, and she would try to play the emotional card.
