"What you're asking is nonsense. Why are you, a sister-in-law, butting in? Are you saying there are no parents-in-law in your family?" Fang Zemin said unhappily, "Let your elders speak out! You're pregnant, so stop meddling in other people's business. If I get you sick later, who's going to be held responsible?"
"Hey? Stop talking nonsense here. My daughter-in-law can say whatever she wants. She has the right."
Niu Chunhua was unhappy to hear what he said. What's wrong? The daughter-in-law is one of their family. The daughter-in-law has the final say in the family. Besides, what the daughter-in-law said is right!
Lu Weidong nodded, "That's right."
Fang Zemin sneered, "Don't try to change the subject here. What are you going to do with my daughter? I'm telling you, if you don't marry my daughter off in style, we're not done with this!"
Fang Yan hesitantly tugged at her father's clothes, "Dad..."
"Don't talk, you have no right to speak here!" Fang Zemin shouted harshly.
"Uncle Fang, just leave your daughter to me. I will definitely treat Xiaoyan well."
Lu Yunye promised.
"Alright, you don't need to say this nonsense in front of me. We are all men, and we all know whether what men say is reliable or not." Fang Zemin waved his hand, "The betrothal gift cannot be less than a penny, at least this amount!"
Fang Zemin simply stretched out five fingers and gestured.
Fifty?
There are many people around me who are getting married at the age of 60. Most of them do it for good luck, and 50 yuan doesn't sound good.
Niu Chunhua opened her mouth to add another ten yuan, but Fang Zemin said the amount, "Five hundred."
"Huh?" Lu Yunye was completely dumbfounded. Five hundred yuan? That's a bit much!
Fang Yan's face turned pale.
Obviously, she didn't expect her father to directly ask for 500 yuan.
“…” Niu Chunhua and Lu Weidong looked at each other, and no one spoke.
This is indeed too much money.
Even if they emptied out all their savings, it wouldn't be enough.
What’s more, there is the third brother.
You can't just find wives for your two sons and ignore the third one.
The money in hand was saved penny by penny. In a few years, the third child will be getting married. What should I do then? I am completely in the dark.
Su He smiled faintly, "Xiaoyan, what do you think? Do you want to marry my brother-in-law?"
Fang Yan pursed her lips. She didn't want to. She really wanted to marry someone else.
But now the man doesn't want her and the child at all.
Lu Yunye knew that she was pregnant and took the initiative to take the responsibility.
Only then did Fang Yan tell her family about her pregnancy.
In fact, she didn't want to abort the baby in her belly and wanted to give birth to it.
But this child needs a father.
Lu Yunye is currently the most suitable candidate.
Fang Yan: “…”
"Sister-in-law, we really like each other, and of course she wants to marry me." Lu Yunye said a little nervously.
"Xiao Ye, I'm not asking you." Su He looked at him seriously and said, "This is a major event for the two of you, marriage. It's not as simple as you think. You two are going to be together for a lifetime. Have you ever considered it? You like Xiaoyan, but for her, her thoughts are the most important."
Lu Yunye's heart trembled violently. What his sister-in-law said made sense.
Even if Fang Yan doesn't like him now, she will like him after they get married, right?
Fang Yan's tears fell down.
"Okay! I'm getting more and more confused by what you said. What we are talking about is the betrothal gift. If you can't come up with it, you can forget about the baby in my daughter's belly." Fang Zemin wanted to use the child to control the men. He had to blackmail them no matter what!
"Xiao Ye, have you ever thought about this? What if you two weren't married? People could easily use this incident to report you to the police! Not only would your life be ruined, but your entire family would also have to worry about you."
Su He said this apparently to Lu Yunye, but actually he was saying it to Fang Yan.
If this woman has any conscience, she should tell the truth.
Could it be that he really intended to let the Lu family pay 500 yuan as a betrothal gift to marry her?
Of course, it would be fine if she really wanted to live with the second brother!
The key point is that Fang Yan is only thinking about one person, and that person is not Lu Yunye.
Fang Yan stood up quickly and said, "Dad, let's go back. I don't want to get married!"
Fang Zemin got angry when he saw her useless look, "It's none of your business, just stay still."
"Dad, let me tell you the truth. The child in my belly is not Lu Yunye's at all."
"Xiaoyan!" Lu Yunye wanted to stop her from telling the truth, but Fang Yan still spoke.
Fang Yan sniffed, "Lu Yunye, I know you're doing this for my own good, but I absolutely cannot harm you. It's others who have wronged me and the child, and I can't drag you, an innocent person, into this."
Su He: "..." Fang Yan told the truth.
It seems that this woman still has some conscience.
Seeing that he couldn't stop him, Lu Yunye didn't say anything else.
"What did you say?" Fang Zemin pulled his daughter's arm and glared at her angrily, "You shameless bastard! Are you deliberately lying to me here just to protect Lu Yunye?"
"Dad, when have you ever seen us together? The one who's always been with me is someone else."
Fang Yan wiped her tears stubbornly and said, "He ran away and didn't want me and the child, but I still want to give birth to this child. I want to wait for him to come back and marry me."
"You! I think you want to piss me off to death—"
Fang Zemin fainted.
The house was suddenly in chaos.
It will be a little quieter at night.
Niu Chunhua's heart was in turmoil all day.
Oh my goodness! I almost became a grandmother again.
Fortunately, the daughter-in-law reacted quickly, otherwise they would have become the real victims.
"Xiaohe, do you know something?" Niu Chunhua asked curiously.
"Yeah." Su He nodded slightly, "From the way they exchanged glances, it's clear there's no love at all.
If they had said that the child was an accident, I probably wouldn't have had such a guess.
But this child was conceived during their relationship, which is very suspicious. How can two people who don't love each other fall in love? "
"What is love?" Niu Chunhua didn't quite understand.
Su He thought for a moment and glanced at Lu Yunzhou beside him.
"It's the way Yunzhou looks at me..."
Niu Chunhua looked directly at her son.
Oh~ so that’s how it is.
The son's mind and eyes were filled with Su He.
So this is love.
Lu Yunzhou knew that Su He would not do anything without confidence.
So, he didn't say anything during the whole process today, but he protected Su He.
"You little bastard, this isn't your fault, why are you taking on the responsibility?" Lu Weidong angrily scolded Lu Yunye, "Aren't you afraid of making me and your mother mad?"
