Chapter 251
Ma's mother thought about her son's messy appearance all day long and accepted it.
"Okay, just find the one you want. Once she comes home, her temper will be worn away by us sooner or later." A cold light flashed in Ma's mother's eyes.
"That's right. She's just a woman, and I can't control her." Ma Yong said with a smile.
Ma's mother went back in a relaxed mood, waiting for Ma Yong and Yao Yi's wedding, but Yao Yi was furious.
"Mom, I don't want to marry Ma Yong! I don't want to marry a street urchin! How could you accept their betrothal gifts?"
"Did I accept this betrothal gift? They clearly forced it on us. They have already taken advantage of you and believed that you would marry Ma Yong." Aunt Xie was also in a bad mood.
"I don't want to marry Ma Yong, I don't want to marry Ma Yong!" Yao Yi was almost throwing a tantrum, with a hint of fear in her tone.
She also realized that Ma Yong had her in his grasp.
It was because she saw it that she was afraid.
Being entangled by such a street urchin, I don’t know if she can get away.
"When your father comes back at noon, we will discuss this with him." Aunt Xie said with a gloomy face.
When Yao's father came back from work at noon, Aunt Xie told him about what happened in the morning when Ma's mother came to see him.
When Father Yao heard what Aunt Xie said and saw the red envelope, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
"It's over," Yao's father muttered subconsciously, "Ma Yong just wants to rely on Yi Yi! I thanked him sincerely for saving Yi Yi last night."
When Yao Yi heard what his father said, he became even more at a loss.
If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have jumped into the river to threaten her family last night. She should have used other methods to threaten her family!
It’s all Zhong Lan’s fault! It’s all Zhong Lan’s fault!!
"It's all your fault!" Yao Yi glared viciously at Zhong Lan who was preparing food.
Zhong Lan pretended to be confused: "Why blame me?"
"If you hadn't asked me to transfer the job to me temporarily, I wouldn't have jumped into the river!" Yao Yi roared.
Yao Hong frowned when he heard this and said, "What does this have to do with Zhong Lan? I specifically asked around at the factory today, and your method won't work at all. Work is no joke. How can it be yours for a few months, hers for the next few months, and yours again for the next few months? The factory won't agree to us doing this at all. If this method worked, wouldn't every working parent be able to temporarily transfer their job to their child and prevent them from going to the countryside? How would the work of going to the countryside be carried out then? Your method could easily be accused of being opportunistic."
The reason why Yao Hong came to the factory to inquire about the method Yao Yi mentioned today was because Zhong Lan specifically told him to do so early in the morning.
Zhong Lan didn't sleep well last night and thought a lot.
She felt that although Ma Yong had indeed saved Yao Yi's life, he seemed to have taken a fancy to her, and his gestures when he saved her were indeed a little too intimate. Furthermore, Yao Yi had also said that Ma Yong had humiliated her. Zhong Lan felt that someone as proud as Yao Yi would not lie about such a thing, so the story was probably true.
All these signs combined made Zhong Lan increasingly believe that Ma Yong's words about coming to propose marriage were probably a lie.
But Yao Yi looked down on people like Ma Yong.
Zhong Lan was afraid that Yao Yi would put all the blame on her, saying that it was because of her that she jumped into the river.
Zhong Lan thought again about Yao Yi's suggestion of temporarily transferring jobs. It suddenly occurred to her: if this method were feasible, then countless people wouldn't have to go to the countryside. The fact that so many children whose parents had jobs had to go meant that this method wasn't feasible.
With this reassurance, Zhong Lan asked Yao Hong to inquire around the factory to see if Yao Yi's method was feasible.
Now that Yao Hong had given his explanation, it would be unreasonable for Yao Yi to put the blame on her.
"No one is to blame for this. If you need to blame someone, blame yourself for impulsively jumping into the river. Do you really want to die?" Yao's father also said.
Yao Yi felt depressed and aggrieved.
"Don't talk about Yiyi anymore." Aunt Xie said, "If we don't think of a solution, Yiyi will really have to marry Ma Yong. You also look down on Ma Yong and don't want Yiyi to marry him, right?"
Aunt Xie's words touched Father Yao's heart.
He really looked down on Ma Yong.
Although Yao Yi is a second marriage, given her looks and her family's financial situation, it is still possible for her to find a second-married gay man with a job and good character.
What is Ma Yong!
As soon as he arrived at the factory today, his colleagues asked him whether his daughter had jumped into the river last night, whether she had been rescued by a street urchin, and whether the two of them were in a somewhat intimate posture at the time.
Yao's father's face was gloomy at the time, but he had to pretend to be calm and explain to everyone that rescuing someone from the water would inevitably involve some physical contact, which could not be considered intimate. They were both unmarried, so he couldn't say such things casually.
Although everyone seemed to agree with his explanation on the surface, the glance in their eyes clearly showed a joking attitude.
In one night, Ma Yong's rescue of Yao Yi became known to so many people. Yao's father felt that besides the onlookers spreading the news, Ma Yong must have also been involved.
Ma Yong was clearly forcing their family, making other male comrades afraid to marry Yao Yi and forcing Yao Yi to marry him.
"Dad—" Seeing that Father Yao was still silent, Yao Yi became anxious: "Speak up! Do you really want to see me marry that street urchin?"
"If you don't want to get married, there are ways." Yao's father pondered, "Tell your mother to go find Xiao Zhao, who went on a blind date with you a few days ago, and tell her that you think Xiao Zhao is a good person, and that the adults in your family like Xiao Zhao too, and they want to arrange a marriage for the two children."
"That's a good idea!" Aunt Xie said with a more relaxed expression. "If Yiyi and Xiao Zhao are already engaged, can Ma Yong still snatch the bride away?"
"But Old Zhao..."
Yao Yi wanted to say that Old Zhao was dark, old and ugly, but Yao's father glared at her and made her swallow the rest of her words.
"At this critical moment, why are you still being so picky?" Yao's father asked, "Are you really going to marry Ma Yong?"
Yao Yi stopped talking.
Compared to Ma Yong, her life would be better if she married Lao Zhao, who has a job.
This matter should not be delayed for too long.
Aunt Xie didn't even eat a few bites of lunch before she went to find the matchmaker and asked the matchmaker to take her to the Zhao family.
But not long after, Aunt Xie came back, and her face looked very bad.
Father Yao hadn't even had a good nap. When he saw Aunt Xie coming back, he and Yao Yi asked her, "What happened to the Zhao family?"
"I'm so angry! I had a fight with Lao Zhao's mother!" Aunt Xie said angrily.
Father Yao seemed to have guessed this outcome long ago, and without much doubt or indignation, he asked, "Does the Zhao family disagree?"
"I disagree." Aunt Xie said, "I said Xiao Zhao was quite satisfied with Yiyi before, and the two children got along well. Why did you change your mind again?"
