Zhou Yujiao refused to agree at all costs, and even chose a poor but handsome young man to fight against her father and stepmother. As if out of spite, she married him off without asking for a single cent of the betrothal gift.
Of course, there were many girls who did not want a dowry in those days because no one was rich, but Zhou Yujiao was pretty. Her father and stepmother married her off in order to get more money, but Zhou Yujiao chose to do the opposite.
In short, after a lot of wrangling, Hua Xuguo finally paid the betrothal gift, and Old Man Zhou successfully released the person.
Although he received the betrothal gift, Zhou's father was also angry when he saw his daughter disobeying him.
He declared that how his daughter lived in the future had nothing to do with him, and that she should not blame her parents if she suffered any grievances in her husband's family!
Zhou Yujiao is also a strong-willed person. If she doesn't want to look for him, then she won't. Anyway, it makes no difference whether she has such a ruthless father or not!
Several years passed without any contact between the two families, even though Dafang Village and the Zhou family's village were adjacent, only three miles apart.
Later, when the Hua family was doing better, and the famine was just around the corner, the Zhou family came to borrow food. After all, it was the Zhou family who raised them, so Wan Qingliu listened to Zhou Yujiao's suggestion and lent the money.
But this time it was Zhou Yujiao's turn to stand up straight. She repaid the kindness of raising her just this once, and the two families would have no relationship after that.
Wan Qingliu dislikes his second son, but likes his second daughter-in-law very much. Hua Xuguo did not let Zhou Yujiao suffer any grievances, but when Zhou Yujiao got angry, Wan Qingliu would definitely stand on Zhou Yujiao's side.
So this mother's family is even more unimportant, and the harsh words that Zhou's father said back then are like a joke.
Later, the couple had not conceived for many years. They became anxious and tried all kinds of folk remedies and went to the hospital many times. The doctor said that there was no problem with their reproductive function, but it was just that their destiny had not yet arrived.
This fate had been delayed for more than ten years. During this period, somehow the matter reached Zhou's father's ears, and he became very concerned about it. He asked everywhere for famous doctors to treat his daughter.
The Zhou family had many sons, and after going through the most difficult period, their lives gradually got better. Father Zhou always kept three acres of land to grow peanuts, which were his daughters' favorite.
The brothers, remembering their sister's life-saving grace, tacitly agreed to the land. When the peanuts were ripe, they carried them to their sister's house, put them down, and left.
The relationship between the two families has warmed up, but it is only a slight warming. It cannot be said that the relationship is very good.
After Zhou Yujiao gave birth to a daughter, Lao Huatou went to the Zhou family to announce the good news. Perhaps because Shuangqiang was busy, no one in the family came to see Zhou Yujiao and the child.
As a grandfather, no matter how busy he was, he could have sent a family member to help, but there was no one.
Zhou Yujiao finally understood: her father still had some residual paternal love for her, but not much.
Hua Wanli's niece's marriage has nothing to do with the Zhou family, but Wan Qingliu thought about it and decided to invite her in-laws to the banquet.
Even those who had nothing to do with the Hua family in the village were invited, and their relatives were brought to eat. It was unreasonable not to invite the Zhou family, the legitimate relatives of the Hua family.
