Seeing that Zhao Youcai despised her ugliness, Li Shulan felt secretly resentful. She covered her face with one hand and pointed at Zhao Youcai's mouth with the other.
Trying hard to hold your throat, making your voice as gentle as water:
"Ma Xiulan is too cruel. Not only did she smash my face, she also knocked out your teeth. How are we going to face people in the future? I don't even have money to buy ointment now.
I won't be disfigured in the future, will I? It's all because of your impatience that I got beaten. You won't refuse to show me your face, will you? Then what's the point of me living."
Hearing that Li Shulan was about to cry, Zhao Youcai felt very guilty. Shulan was such a beauty-loving person that she would rather go hungry than not dress herself up beautifully. Now he felt guilty because his face was disfigured by that crazy woman Ma Xiulan.
"I want to show it to you, but I have no money."
He had no choice but to tell Zhao Youfu what happened yesterday.
Li Shulan felt like she was struck by lightning.
No money left!
Then what should she do.
No, she has been hurt so badly by Zhao Youcai that she can’t go back to her original home. Now Zhao Youcai must have money.
"That's your money. How could your mother allow your brother to take it all? I told you not to give birth to Zhao Youfu. Giving birth to a child at your age is for you.
The old lady even said that we were the ones who mattered. An elder brother is like a father, and an elder sister-in-law is like a mother. We helped raise Zhao Youfu, and he would be filial to us in the future.
It's all bullshit.
Zhao Youfu will only ask for things from you and won't show you any respect as a father.
If he had any gratitude for your kindness, he wouldn't have stolen your money. But now he's blatantly stealing it, relying on the old lady's favoritism. He doesn't even take you seriously."
"Why are you still taking care of a brother like this? You should get back all the money you've spent on him over the years."
Zhao Youcai was resentful towards his brother after what happened yesterday, and now after hearing what Li Shulan said, his resentment was even greater.
He remembered that when Ma Xiulan settled accounts with him, she asked him, his mother and his brother to pay for his money over the years. He paid for her and his mother, but why did he also pay for his brother's expenses?
He wanted to take back the 900 yuan his brother spent on meals and the 250 yuan worth of things he took from his house.
"Shulan, don't worry, I will definitely ask Youfu for the money."
Li Shulan took his outstretched hand, looked at the watch on it, and had an idea:
"You can sell Youfu's job to pay off the debt, and you can also move his things and sell them. And I'll sell your watch too. Use the money to appease my family first. Otherwise, if my mother really marries me off, what will you do?"
She got angry when she saw the broken watch. If it weren't for this watch, Ma Xiulan wouldn't have been able to catch her weakness, and the series of events that followed wouldn't have happened. She would have sold hers too.
Zhao Youcai was reluctant to part with it: "This watch has a special meaning."
Li Shulan had already picked it up: "I'm already here, how can it be more meaningful than a watch?"
Li Shulan urged Zhao Youcai to ask Zhao Youfu for the money as soon as possible so that they could get married.
Zhao Youcai was a little anxious to get married: "Why do I have to get money before I can get married?"
Li Shulan looked embarrassed: "If I remarry, my parents will ask for a betrothal gift, and there is nothing I can do."
In fact, she wanted it herself. Shouldn't she keep some money in her hands?
Zhao Youcai thought that they had such a good relationship and at this age, why would they still need a dowry.
But he also knew the moral character of Li Shulan's family: "How much does it cost?"
Li Shulan raised a finger.
Zhao Youcai was relieved: "I will have a hundred yuan soon."
Li Shulan shook her head: "It's one thousand yuan."
Even after Li Shulan left for a long time, Zhao Youcai's mind was still full of how to deal with the one thousand yuan.
Old Mrs. Wang rushed to the hospital in a hurry: "Youcai, Mom brought you some meat buns."
Zhao Youcai drove Chen Zhenzhen and Zhang Zhaodi away in the morning, but left the breakfast they brought with them. He was not hungry at the moment, and when he saw the meat buns brought by Old Lady Wang, his first reaction was where the money came from.
"Mom, did you get the money back from Youfu?"
Old Mrs. Wang shook her head. Youfu said he didn't take the money, but she searched the house thoroughly yesterday afternoon and couldn't find it. Did Ma Xiulan steal it?
She thought so and said it out loud.
Zhao Youcai: "It's impossible that she took it. She has leverage over me, so she can just ask me for it. Why bother? Don't bother looking for her. She still has a copy of the negative. If I make a fuss, I'll lose my job, and I won't have a pension when I get old, and I won't be able to support you in your old age."
"You're just trying to exonerate Youfu, so you're accusing Ma Xiulan."
"First, tell me where the money in your hand came from."
Old Mrs. Wang just felt that she was really aggrieved, but since her son pressed her about the money, she had no choice but to tell him about Zhao Xingfeng.
Zhao Youcai's face darkened after hearing this: "I paid Xingfeng 700 yuan for living expenses to get her here, and now you only asked for 200 yuan as a betrothal gift. From what you said, you've offended the Song family?"
"Can't you discuss this with me before you do anything? With me, there must be a way to not offend the Song family and still get more betrothal gifts."
"The Song family has promised to give Xingfeng a job and 100 yuan. We can take the job and the money first, and then accidentally expose Xingfeng and Song Qinghe's relationship to the people the Song family is close to, forcing them to get married, and to have a grand wedding."
"You don't understand anything, yet you're still pushing things forward. It really irritates me. It's all your fault for exposing the bills. Why did you leave home with your pillow in your arms?"
