Chapter 102 Changing Surname
"Secretary Wu, I remember that Comrade Wang Guilan was educated not long ago and knows that arranged marriages are illegal! Since arranged marriages are not allowed, as the person involved, I do not agree to this marriage!"
"What did you say! You ungrateful little girl! Don't you know what you are like? How dare you say you disagree..." Wang Guilan jumped up and started cursing on the spot.
Secretary Wu was also puzzled. "Well, Tongya! You may not be aware of the situation. Xing Zhiqing had already agreed before you came out."
"Don't worry, elders!"
Su Tong's tone remained calm.
"Although you think my reputation is more important than my life, I still want to mention what happened yesterday. I was drugged, then surrounded and hunted down!"
"If I'm not mistaken, the idea came from my nominal younger brother, and the medicine was provided by my nominal mother. Then I was chased in the middle of the night, beaten half to death, and came back almost dead..."
"You're talking nonsense! You're an unlucky thing whose conscience has been eaten by dogs! You want to drag me into this? No way!..." Wang Guilan couldn't wait to curse.
Su Tong glanced at her and continued:
"You don't have to get so angry. I was kicked out of the Wu family a long time ago. Actually, I am not your daughter anymore. Now that it's come to this, you guys should stop using marriage to disgust Xing Zhiqing."
Wang Guilan saw that the money she had received was about to fly away, so she was not willing to accept it. "Bah! As long as your last name is Wu, your marriage is under my control! Even if you die, you have to marry out of this family before you die!"
"Hold on! I was just about to get to that!"
Su Tong glanced at the group of people standing in the room.
"I know that I, Wu Tong, am a well-known disaster star. I have caused trouble for the Wu family in the past, and also affected the Wu clan members in the village. Now, not only have I been kicked out of the house by my own parents, but I have also almost died unclearly several times! Since your Wu family cares about this reputation today, I will no longer be the daughter of the Wu family. I am not worthy of it, and I dare not do it anymore! Today, the elders are all here, so I will just change my surname."
"Bah! I gave birth to you and raised you for more than ten years! You can change it just like that! You wish! Who do you think you are…"
"The marriage cannot be finalized today, so forget about the betrothal gift! A forced melon is not sweet! If you overdo the drama, be careful not to end up in the police station!" Su Tong looked at Wang Guilan sharply, and said slowly:
"But I can give you this money! I don't have three hundred dollars, I only have two hundred."
What? Wang Guilan had originally thought that she would bite off a piece of Xing Dongyang even at the risk of her life, otherwise today's incident would be in vain, but she didn't expect to hear these words suddenly.
"Two hundred yuan! It's to thank the Wu family for raising me all these years! If you agree, I'll give you the money now! I'll change my last name in front of everyone, move my household registration out, and have nothing to do with the Wu family anymore. If you don't agree, of course... you can try to keep making trouble and see how this ends?"
"You have two hundred dollars? Are you kidding me?"
How could Wang Guilan not know that this girl left home with nothing? Even if she could sell the herbs, she could only make a few cents.
Su Tong looked up and motioned Shitou to come over. He whispered a few words in his ear. Shitou ran into the room and came out after a while with a wrapped handkerchief.
Su Tong opened the handkerchief, revealing a thick stack of ten-yuan bills inside.
Wang Guilan's eyes lit up, and her mind immediately became active again... This girl is really rich! Where did she get the money from? This... If we plan for the long term...
Unexpectedly, Su Tong spoke again, "Don't think too much! This is a thank-you gift from the couple who came a few days ago. The things they brought were taken away by you. They felt embarrassed to enter my house empty-handed, so they gave me this money. This is just this time, there will be no next time! If you don't want it today, I may not be able to give it to you next time you want it."
"Yes! Yes! Of course I don't want to!" Wang Guilan hesitated for a moment and immediately agreed.
Originally, she wasn't very confident of blackmailing Xing Dongyang today, otherwise she wouldn't have called so many people over. It's a matter of this time there won't be a next time, two hundred yuan is two hundred yuan!
Two hundred dollars is not a small amount! As long as she has the money, it's fine! She would be stupid not to agree!
She pounced on Su Tong, but Su Tong raised his hands and dodged.
She looked around and said to Li Weidong:
"Li Zhiqing, please help me! There is paper and pen on the table in the inner room. Please help me write a receipt."
There were only a few educated youth in the room who could write and were willing to help.
Li Weidong was stunned, then nodded quickly, took a pen and paper and started writing the document.
At first, he was afraid that the girl would take advantage of the situation to get involved with Xing Dongyang. After all, with her reputation in this area, it would be difficult to get close to her.
Xing Dongyang's conditions were the first in the area, and he had already agreed to it. A few minutes ago, he almost thought that Xing Dongyang's life was ruined...
But this girl seemed like a different person. Not only was she sensible and organized, but they were all panicked about such a big thing, but she actually solved the problem calmly and nonchalantly... She took the money and she changed her surname. This, this is not something an ordinary girl would dare to do!
Of course, this was like a great relief for Xing Dongyang, so of course he was willing to help.
Secretary Wu and several elders looked at each other. They probably didn't expect things to turn out like this. Whether the girl's surname was Wu or not was ultimately Wu Dashan's family's business. Wang Guilan herself agreed and they couldn't say anything.
Besides, two hundred yuan is not a small number. It is a huge sum of money for anyone.
Li Weidong was quite skillful and quickly finished writing a copy and handed it to Su Tong. Su Tong took a look and found that Li Weidong had understood the meaning very well and his choice of words and sentences were very accurate.
He immediately handed it to Secretary Wu, but Wang Guilan was illiterate, so it was useless to give it to her.
Secretary Wu looked a little embarrassed and said with a wry smile:
"Tongya! Is it necessary to take things to this point?"
"Secretary Wu, how do you think this will end if I don't do this? Or... will forcing Xing Zhiqing to marry me bring honor to Yunshan Village?"
Secretary Wu also knew that what he did today was not right. It did sound a bit unbelievable that this girl wanted to change her surname. He had heard of people being kicked out of their homes and setting up new families in the surrounding area, but he had never heard of anyone changing their surname on their own initiative, and a girl at that...
But if it is handled in this way, it will be Wu Dashan’s own business and he will not be held responsible. Mainly, the educated youth will not have any resentment towards him because of this. He was also worried that the educated youth would cause trouble before!
There are dozens of educated youth in this village. If they start to make trouble, he will really have a headache. At the moment, this result is actually the best.
Secretary Wu handed the document to Wang Guilan and said, "Alright, you don't want this girl. Just sign it when you have thought it through. Once you sign it, this Tongya will have nothing to do with the Wu family. Just don't regret it later!"
