Chapter 92: Being Tightly Controlled
Tieniu's wife came straight to the point:
"There are some things...we all know. Xiuxiu and Ye Yong are in love with each other, we should help them."
Although she knew the lines, Du was still angry:
"We have been together before, haven't we? But some people want to break us up, and there is nothing we can do about it."
Xiuxiuniang felt guilty and annoyed and dared not say anything.
Tie Niu's wife laughed and said, "Xiu Xiu's mother was wrong at that time. Didn't she let me come to the door to make peace?"
"Haha, why did you say so today, instead of earlier? How come you think of us now that you can't get married?" Mrs. Du stood up angrily.
Xiuxiuniang's face was extremely sad.
Tie Niu's wife secretly pulled her, and Xiu Xiu's mother finally said:
"Don't forget, the last time Xiuxiu fell into the water, it was Ye Yong who pulled her out. She took advantage of my Xiuxiu, so she must be responsible."
"You shameless person..." Mrs. Du was so angry that she wanted to slap him. "If it weren't for my Yong'er, she would have drowned long ago. Besides, it was you who yelled and told me not to tell anyone."
"Now that you can't get married, you want him to take responsibility? Bah! You're just dreaming."
"I, I didn't yell at you not to tell anyone. I didn't say anything about this... It's obviously Ye Yong who doesn't want to take responsibility..." Xiuxiu's mother lacked confidence.
Mrs. Du laughed angrily: "Today is really Xiaodao's butt, I opened my eyes. Tieniu's wife and Zhuzi's wife were present at the time, as well as Ye Xing and Ye Wang. They are all witnesses."
Tie Niu's wife said uncomfortably:
"Well... I, I didn't see Xiuxiu's mother say that she didn't have to take responsibility... Zhuzi's wife also said the same thing afterwards."
"Tie Niu's wife, you, you...you actually assisted the tiger——"
Mrs. Du tried hard to put on an expression of shock and pain after being betrayed, but she didn't have the acting skills and could only stare blankly.
Xiuxiu's mother said, "Did you hear that? They all said no. Ye Xing and Ye Wang are your nephews, so their words don't count. If Ye Yong doesn't take responsibility for Xiuxiu, then I will report to the police!"
At the end, he actually seemed quite proud.
Ye Caiping sneered: "Go ahead! Report to the police and see if we are afraid. Let's not talk about saving people being innocent. Even if they really had physical contact, your daughter would be the one who would suffer."
As soon as these words were spoken, Xiuxiuniang's face changed drastically and her body went limp.
Tie Niu's wife waved her hand: "You can't report it to the police! Ye Yong, no matter what, Xiuxiu has been with you for so many years, don't be so cruel. Do you still remember two years ago?"
Ye Yong frowned, as if recalling the past.
Xiuxiu's mother was so scared that she gave up and just wanted to escape back home.
If you were really dragged to the government office, you would lose all your face and dignity, and might even get a beating.
Now listening to Tie Niu’s wife mentioning two years ago, and Ye Yong’s expression... there should still be some hope!
This time, Xiuxiuniang threw all her pride aside and begged, "Dayong...I was wrong before."
"But think about how Xiuxiu treated you. Two years ago... and last time she fell into the water, she actually jumped in on her own, just to marry you. I was wrong."
"When you were poor, she never looked down on you. Now that your family is rich..."
Xiuxiu's mother originally wanted to say that she would abandon Xiuxiu when she became rich, but when she thought about how she was the one who broke them up, she choked up and changed her words:
"You're rich now... You can't just abandon her! She's now... Woohoo, if she doesn't get married, her life will be over..."
Tie Niu's wife sighed, "Ye Yong, for the sake of our past relationship, please save Xiu Xiu!"
Ye Yong frowned and looked at Mrs. Du: "Mom, Xiuxiu is really good to me."
Xiuxiu's mother was excited, and Ye Yong was still sentimental.
Mrs. Du snorted, "I don't agree."
Xiuxiu's mother's face turned pale and blue, and Tieniu's wife made a gesture to her: Two years ago, I sued the authorities!
Xiuxiu's mother also risked her life: "If you don't agree... then I will file a complaint with the authorities. I will sue Ye Yong for trying to kidnap my Xiuxiu two years ago! And for falling into the water... and for not wanting to take responsibility..."
Mrs. Du's eyes widened: "My Yong'er, when did you kidnap Xiuxiu? Besides, if he did, why is she still here now?"
Xiuxiu's mother said anxiously: "Anyway... I'm going to sue... Tieniu's wife can testify for me!"
"Okay, stop making noise!" Old Man Ye shouted coldly.
Mrs. Du and Xiuxiuniang both kept their mouths shut.
Old Man Ye said with a straight face: "Although we are not at fault and have done nothing wrong, it is not good to bring the case to the government. Xiuxiu's family is not that great, but they are still somewhat sincere to Yong'er."
"Yong'er, what do you think now?"
Ye Yong frowned. Yes, he could only frown. "I, I don't know. Although I don't like her that much now. It would be a big loss to marry her, but she is really good to me."
"It's not impossible to marry her, but she's really not worth twenty taels."
After a moment of excitement, Xiuxiuniang felt a little uncomfortable.
But it was already good enough for Xiuxiu to get married, and she didn't dare to ask for anything else.
Mrs. Du slammed the coffee table fiercely and said, "Yes, it's not worth it! It's absolutely not worth it! Twenty taels, what a joke! The betrothal gift is six taels, and there won't be a gold hairpin, only a pair of silver clove earrings. If you are willing, let her marry you, if not, get out of here!"
Xiuxiu's mother's face changed and she felt dizzy.
Twenty taels became six taels, the gold hairpin became silver earrings, this is simply cutting her flesh and drinking her blood!
Tie Niu's wife whispered in her ear, "Hurry up and agree! Right now, let alone six taels, even if it's two or three taels, there may not be anyone willing to marry Xiu Xiu."
"This Daquan wife is a simpleton, she doesn't know what's going on outside. You've made a profit by giving her six taels. Otherwise, if she finds out tomorrow, she might not want to give you a penny."
Although Xiuxiu's mother felt distressed, she also knew Xiuxiu's current situation. If she didn't take action, it would be a real disaster!
"Okay, I agree! Let's... quickly exchange the engagement letter, and then go to the government office to write a marriage certificate."
Old Lady Ye curled her lips and said, "Xiu Xiu's mother, we are different from Carpenter Cai's family. We are very disciplined and have to take things step by step. When we are free in a few days, let's ask the matchmaker to come to our house and get engaged!"
Xiuxiuniang almost vomited blood again.
I just feel that this marriage has become uncertain.
If the Ye family doesn't come to propose marriage in a few days, won't their daughter be in trouble again?
"Xiuxiun's mother, let's go back first!" Tieniu's wife supported Xiuxiun's mother.
Xiuxiu's mother felt weak all over, as if all her strength had been drained. She wanted to arrange the marriage immediately, but her self-esteem prevented her from saying it.
He had no choice but to let Tie Niu's wife help him out.
As soon as the two left, Mrs. Du, Ye Yong, Old Lady Ye and the others all breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back in their chairs.
Mrs. Du's face turned pale. "Acting in a play...why is it so tiring? My tongue is almost tied."
Ye Yong wiped the cold sweat off his face: "I was afraid that she wasn't a rogue enough and was scared away by us..."
Ye Caiping almost laughed out loud.
Old Lady Ye said, "Cai Ping, when should we propose marriage?"
Ye Caiping said: "Although we need to hang her up, if we delay for too long, there might be an accident. Let's do it the day after tomorrow!"
Mrs. Du was so happy that she looked at Ye Caiping with admiration.
I have to say, this sister-in-law is really amazing.
With just a few moves, Carpenter Cai broke off the engagement and all the things that Xiuxiu's mother was so proud of were shattered.
Now Xiuxiuniang was under complete control and took the initiative to send her daughter to the door.
The price was also lowered, from twenty taels to six taels, and the gold hairpin to silver cloves.
After this incident, Xiuxiuniang could never raise her head in front of them again, nor could she act like a demon.
Of course, Mrs. Du is not a too mean person. As long as Xiuxiuniang doesn't act like a troublemaker, she won't suppress the other party.
The six taels and the silver cloves were within the normal range of the bride price.
If she wants, she can reduce it to 30 or 40 taels.
But Du thought it was unnecessary.
