Chapter 122 Forced into a corner
The Li family also had their own selfish motives. They felt that Li Chao's original image was not very good, and they were afraid that the Wang family would regret marrying their daughter to Li Chao, so they wanted to get married immediately.
As expected, Wang San kept his word and immediately took care of the matter.
Things went exceptionally smoothly.
Wang San didn't care about the banquet at all. Even if they did have a banquet, they wouldn't get any benefits. He only needed the bride price.
As for Wang Xinran, he didn't want her to stay with him indefinitely. After all, if Wang Xinran stayed at his house, she would need to eat, and he didn't want to continue supporting her.
So Wang San said, "Since Wang Xinran has already married Li Chao, you can take her away now. She will be your wife from now on."
His attitude seemed to suggest that he wanted to sever all ties with Wang Xinran immediately and did not want to have anything to do with her anymore.
Li Chao was naturally delighted and immediately left with Wang Xinran.
Wang San was right. Now that Wang Xinran was his wife, he could rightfully take her home.
Wang Xinran frowned, but ultimately remained silent. Li Chao led her to the oxcart and then left. Wang San had no objection to this, simply turning around and walking away, completely ignoring Wang Xinran.
At this moment, Li's father's smile had vanished, and his tone was cold: "Wang Xinran, now that you've married into our family, as long as you're obedient, we'll treat you well. You must remember not to do anything to betray us. Old Wang has taken so much money from us, I don't think he'll care about you, and don't expect to complain to him."
Wang Xinran rolled her eyes: "I'm not going to go to him. He's locked me in the woodshed these past few days and won't let me eat or drink. I'm so annoyed with him. I'm cutting all ties with the Wang family from now on."
The mere mention of the Wang family filled her with resentment. She had once held high hopes for them, believing she could have some familial affection. But it turned out the Wang family had only used her, which greatly disappointed her. Forget whether the Wang family would acknowledge her or not; now that she was married, she would never acknowledge them again.
She felt disgusted by the entire Wang family!
Mr. Li raised an eyebrow: "You don't acknowledge the Wang family anymore?"
Wang Xinran nodded: "Yes, I have no relationship with them anymore, and I will not have any contact with them in the future."
She felt there was nothing to hide about this; after all, Li's father and Li Chao must have seen how Wang San treated her.
She glanced at Li's father and said, "You must have realized it too. The Li family wanted to sell their daughter, and now they've sold me for a good price, so I'm even with them."
Mr. Li smiled, his face beaming with pleasure.
Wang Xinran seems unaware of her current situation. If the Wang family completely abandons her, she will be all alone and helpless. No matter what happens to her in the future, no one will help her.
They can treat her however they want.
Li Chao suddenly asked, "What about the Huo family? Do you still have contact with them?"
Mentioning the Huo family, Li's father's expression turned serious. The Huo family was much more troublesome than the Wang family. You know, the Wang family was just so-so, but the Huo family's son and daughter were both very successful.
If the Huo family were to cause them trouble, it wouldn't be a pleasant thing.
Wang Xinran lowered her head and remained silent this time.
Mr. Li pursed his lips, pondering the relationship between Wang Xinran and the Huo family. However, he felt that since Wang Xinran had left the Huo family, the Huo family probably wouldn't care much about her affairs.
The group went back, each with their own thoughts.
After receiving the money, Wang San happily took it back.
He first took out two hundred and gave it to the eldest brother: "With this money, you can get a wife."
The eldest brother happily accepted the money.
The second son asked worriedly, "If Li Chao and Wang Xinran get married, will they bully Wang Xinran?"
The Li family is notoriously domineering. Not to mention Li Chao himself is a scoundrel, although Li's father appears cheerful and gives everyone face, he is a black-hearted man. If anything displeases him, he can kill you. And Li Chao's biological mother is a notorious shrew.
It's really bad news that Wang Xinran married into such a family.
Because of these rumors, no one has ever been willing to marry Li Chao.
Unexpectedly, Wang Xinran ended up jumping into this fire pit.
Wang San glanced at him and said sarcastically, "She's already married, so what happens after that has nothing to do with me. Why are you so worried?"
The eldest brother nodded: "Second brother, you're overthinking it. These things have nothing to do with you. You should mind your own business."
The third brother said, "If only I had an older sister, I could exchange this much money again."
The second son then shut up and never mentioned the issue again.
And the Huo family.
Mrs. Huo was cooking with a troubled mind. Ever since Wang Xinran left, she had missed her dearly and hoped that she could come home soon.
But Wang Xinran never came back.
There are also rumors circulating about Wang Xinran, saying that the Wang family has been spoiling her since they took her back, and that she is living a very good life in the Wang family now.
Every time she heard such rumors, Huo's mother felt sad.
After all, that was her daughter whom she had raised herself. Even if they weren't related by blood, their relationship was genuine. But after raising her daughter, she went and got involved with the Wang family.
Sometimes, she would just let it go, pretend she had never raised this daughter, and consider it her bad luck. But when she went to sleep at night, she would think of Wang Xinran again.
This is a terrible tragedy.
Just then, Aunt Zhao from next door came over, carrying a basket, and said, "I harvested a lot of pumpkins in my yard, and I brought you a few."
Mrs. Huo said, "You're too kind. Why did you bring me something?"
Aunt Zhao said, "Have you heard? Wang Xinran got married today."
"What?"
Mrs. Huo was stunned for a moment. She knew that Huo Xinran had changed her name to Wang Xinran as soon as she left the Huo family.
But she actually got married?
So fast?
Aunt Zhao said, "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes today. She and Li Chao went to the county town to get their marriage certificate. They went by oxcart. When someone asked them what they were going to do, Li Chao said they were going to get married to her."
Mrs. Huo asked incredulously, "Li Chao? How could she agree to this?"
Li Chao had taken a liking to Wang Xinran and even secretly followed her, but Mother Huo chased him away.
After all, who would want to be associated with such a scoundrel?
Aunt Zhao said, "Isn't that right? I also think no one would want to marry Li Chao. Wang Xinran must have been forced into it."
