Han's mother stopped her and said, "Xiujuan, put my grandson down. This is my Han family's grandson. You can't take him away!"
Zhang Xiujuan was stopped by her mother-in-law while holding her son. The two of them grabbed the child in their arms and started pulling him. The child cried loudly. Han's father opened the door with a gloomy face, pushed the two people apart and took the child.
"What are you doing? What are you making such a fuss about?"
Zhang Xiujuan was a little afraid of her father-in-law and turned her head away without saying a word. Han's mother was also very angry with her daughter-in-law. Han's father put the crying child in Han's mother's arms and glared at Zhang Xiujuan.
"I'm warning you, I can give my money to whoever I want. If you keep making trouble, I'll burn down the house and the money and not give you a cent!"
Zhang Xiujuan leaned against the door and cried, then turned around and scolded, "A married girl is like spilled water. How can a married girl come to share her parents' money?"
Father Han scolded her, "You are also spilled water, why do you still want to take my grandson back to your mother's home!"
"I..." Zhang Xiujuan cried and ran back to the house and closed the door. Han's mother hugged her eldest grandson tightly, and Han's father sat on the sofa and opened the newspaper.
"Tell Han Li that if she comes back and marries Xudong obediently, I'll give her 800 yuan plus three big things. If she refuses to come back, let her fend for herself in the future!"
Han's mother advised: "Why are you so stubborn, old man? She is your biological daughter, and you are willing to let her suffer outside. Since she has found someone she likes, just give in to her!"
Father Han snorted heavily, "What's wrong with Xudong? He's handsome, a soldier, willing to endure hardships and make progress, and he's also good to Han Li. He'll definitely become a battalion commander in the future. Are you going to give up such a good man just because his family is not good?"
Mother Han sighed, "Old man, what do you know? When a woman marries a man, she marries into his family. If the mother-in-law in this family is not good and the sister-in-law is also causing trouble, how can they live a good life!"
Father Han put down the newspaper and said, "Xudong and Han Li have been living in the army since they got married and haven't returned to their hometown. Why do they care so much about his family?"
Mother Han looked at Father Han with a hint of resentment.
"When I first married you, your mother looked down on me and bullied me. It was you who told me that we would live in the factory compound and not have to go back to our hometown, so I felt at ease to marry you. Later, your mother and your three sisters came to the compound every day, looking at me with disdain and always finding ways to bully me. They pushed me to the point of wanting to commit suicide several times. Are you trying to push our daughter into the fire pit now?"
Father Han remained silent. "It's been so long since I last saw this, and you're digging it up again. Besides, didn't I protect you before?"
Mother Han sneered, "You call that protecting me? You're trying to smooth things over. In the end, your mother and your three sisters will still bully me, and you won't be able to do anything."
Father Han was speechless after being scolded. "My mother has been dead for such a long time, and you are still bringing her up. My three sisters are already so old, so just keep quiet!"
Han's mother sighed helplessly.
"Old Han, our daughter is getting married on the eighth day of next month. If we don't go, her in-laws will look down on her. You know what kind of temper our Han Li has. She's not the kind of person who can stand being bullied. If anyone dares to anger her, she'll chop them down. If it really comes to that, it'll be too late for you to regret it. Give me your decision, are you going or not?"
Father Han felt a headache when he thought of his daughter's strange and stubborn temper. He had just had a fight with his daughter and he really couldn't bring himself to attend the wedding.
"Let's talk about it later!" Father Han turned around and went back to the house.
Han Li in the phone booth hung up the phone, took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and returned to the park bench. Zhou Zhichuan turned around and saw that her eyes were red and her face became solemn. He leaned closer to her.
"What's wrong with you? Who bullied you?"
Han Li lowered her head, covered her cheeks with her hands, and cried silently. Zhou Zhichuan was sweating profusely.
"Han Li, who bullied you? Tell me and I'll help you vent your anger!"
Han Li raised her tear-stained face and said angrily, "My dad and mom! Go help me vent my anger!"
Zhou Zhichuan was stunned. Forget about his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
"Han Li, talk to your parents nicely. There's nothing you can't get over."
Han Li was upset and complained aggrievedly.
"My dad wanted me to go back and marry a former blind date, and my mom only gave me a 200-yuan dowry. He clearly said that I was the one he loved the most, but now he's leaving all the family property to my brother!"
Zhou Zhichuan didn't know how to persuade her, so he took out another red envelope and gave it to her.
"Don't cry, I'll give you this red envelope too."
Han Li returned the red envelope to him.
"I don't want it. What I care about is not how much money my parents give me, but that they don't love me at all. We have three apartments at home, worth several thousand yuan. If they gave it all to my brother, even if they gave me a small portion, I wouldn't feel so bad. Two hundred, just two hundred. Their love for me is only worth two hundred yuan!"
Zhou Zhichuan accompanied her silently. He understood the meaning of Han Li's words. Han Li cared not about money but about love. She was competing with her brother for her parents' love. Zhou Zhichuan advised her,
"Han Li, most families in today's society are like this, leaving their property to their sons and grandsons. If their daughter can have three major dowries, it's already very good. After all, their sons and grandsons will take care of them in their old age."
Han Li curled her lips and said, "My sister-in-law is so selfish. It's a good thing she doesn't make my parents angry to death. My brother is a complete coward. He listens to my sister-in-law in everything and makes my parents angry all the time."
Zhou Zhichuan advised again:
"Then your parents are still willing to leave all the family property to them, which means they are willing too. You should just stay out of their business and live your own life."
