Chapter 32: Exorbitant Price
Zhou Nuan smiled as she watched Huang's father angrily drag Huang Zhizhi to Old Zhou's house without caring about her at all. Then she slowly turned around and walked in another direction.
It seems that Old Man Huang will definitely make the Zhou family live in unrest, but things have come to this point and there is definitely no way out. He will definitely ask for a higher price than the originally agreed upon bride price, just like in the original world.
He Rongsheng didn't have much money left, and I took it all back. She would be very anxious, and if I added fuel to the fire, she would definitely drive Zhou Bingshe away.
That's right, compared to the rude Zhou Chang, she hated Zhou Bing more. It was Zhou Bing who came up with the idea of selling her to the butcher, and it was Zhou Bing who instigated He Rongsheng to trick her into divorce and get rid of the child. Even the rope that tied the original owner's hands that night was handed to He Rongsheng by Zhou Bing himself.
It's time to let her taste Zhou Nuan's pain.
Zhou Nuan stopped a well-known gangster in Wantou Village and asked, "Brother, do you want to make some money?"
The little rascal turned around and saw the usually inconspicuous Zhou Nuan. He immediately curled his lips and said, "Go away. How can you make money?"
Zhou Nuan smiled slightly and took out ten yuan from his pocket, "Do me a favor and the money will be yours."
Seeing that it was a real ten yuan, the little rascal's eyes lit up. Fearing that she would change her mind, he quickly snatched it away and said, "Tell me, what do you want me to do for you? A meal for you?"
It's not impossible. Money makes the world go round.
This idea was really tempting. Zhou Nuan thought about it and shook her head.
Business is important. As for Zhou Chang, evildoers will be punished by their own evildoers. Huang Zhizhi is not someone to be trifled with. Just look at her father and you will know.
"No need. Help me find a butcher named Shi on Longheji. Tell him that the Zhou family has done what they agreed with him and ask him to come as soon as possible."
"That's all?" The little gangster couldn't believe it.
"That's it."
If he could earn ten dollars for delivering a message, then he would make a lot of money. "Okay, I'll go and deliver the message for you now."
"Remember, just say this, don't say anything else."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
The gangster left in a hurry with the money in his pocket. Zhou Nuan brushed off the non-existent dust on her body and walked towards Yan's house calmly.
Now that she has money on hand, she will not let herself suffer. She plans to ask Yan Laosan to take her back to Wantou Village, of course, he has to pay for the fare.
With a grim look on his face, Huang's father pulled Huang Zhizhi's hand and walked straight towards Zhou's house. He pulled her with too much force, causing her to stumble and almost fall.
Huang Zhizhi was terrified, but she had just been slapped in the face and her face was still hurting. She dared not say anything and only used her eyes to ask for help from Huang's mother.
Huang's mother was very worried and advised, "Boss, be careful, Zhizhi is pregnant..."
"Shut up! You're the one who spoiled her! Otherwise, how could she dare to do such a shameless thing? She's pregnant before marriage. If this gets out, my Huang family will lose all face because of this evil girl!" Huang's father was so angry that he pulled Huang Zhizhi even harder.
Huang Zhizhi felt pain but dared not say a word, yet she held a grudge against He Rongsheng in her heart.
In her impression, Zhou Chang told her that this second oldest sister had always been opinionless and listened to her mother in everything. This time, He Rongsheng must have asked her to talk about this matter. He Rongsheng must have been unhappy because she asked to buy a house in the city, so he wanted to make her life difficult.
Otherwise, why would he keep making excuses and never talk about their marriage? Only when he saw that her belly could no longer be hidden did he say he wanted to discuss the wedding. If she hadn't urged him, who knows how long he would have waited.
She knew what she was thinking. She felt that she was pregnant and couldn't escape, so she wanted to control her. Ha, He Rongsheng made her life difficult, so she would make her life difficult too! !
"Dad, Dad. I really know I was wrong, but I am pregnant with the Zhou family's child, and this is a fact that cannot be changed. How about Dad use this opportunity to ask for more betrothal money, so that I can leave it for my two younger brothers."
As long as he doesn't take it out on himself anymore.
Huang Zhizhi was really scared, because her father would really kill her.
After hearing this, Huang's father's furious face eased a little.
"That's what you said."
"I said so."
Father Huang glanced coldly at Huang Zhizhi and her daughter, said "Just listen to me", and reached out to knock on the door.
Soon, Zhou Dagui's face appeared in front of the Huang family. He forced an unnatural smile and said, "Come on, come in and sit down."
Father Huang snorted coldly, ignored him, and walked in aggressively.
He Rongsheng happened to come out and when he saw that he looked strange, the smile on his face froze.
"My in-laws are here..."
"Don't call you so intimately. We haven't even started dating yet." Huang's father sat down on the stool unceremoniously and glanced at the four people from the Zhou family who were standing together.
The four members of the Zhou family looked at each other, somewhat confused.
He Rongsheng apologized with a smile, "Yes, yes, it's too early now. You can only call them after the children get married. I am just impatient."
"Get married? You guys are dreaming. You think that everything is over after your Zhou got my daughter pregnant, and my daughter will marry him? Let me tell you, it's impossible! The price we agreed on before is no longer valid. Buy one get two free. It's just that little money. You guys are dreaming!"
He Rongsheng's face turned pale, and he glanced coldly at Huang Zhizhi who didn't dare to speak. He thought that Huang Zhizhi had said it herself, and felt unhappy.
What did she tell her before? She asked her not to tell anyone. It was obvious that her father favored boys over girls. If he knew she was pregnant, he would definitely ask for a sky-high price. How would Huang Zhizhi be left with a penny then?
But if the betrothal gift is not high, the money is still in He Rongsheng's hands, and sooner or later it will belong to her and Zhou Chi. How could she be so stupid that she couldn't figure this out! !
Huang Zhizhi ignored her completely. She was more afraid that her father would kill her than money.
She winked at Zhou Chang. Zhou Chang was about to speak, but his mother glared at him and he lowered his head in disappointment.
Huang Zhizhi saw this and hated He Rongsheng even more.
He Rongsheng lowered his tone, "Look at what you said. What do you mean by my Zhou Chang got your daughter pregnant? If she doesn't want to, who can force her? Who can you blame for not keeping herself clean?"
"It doesn't matter to my family whether the marriage takes place or not. After all, it's not my family that will have a bad reputation if it gets out."
She said, "It's just a small amount of money anyway, whether you want to get married or not."
She had to borrow all the money that had been agreed upon before, so how could she have any extra money?
Father Huang seemed to have expected her to do this and sneered, "What do you mean? Threatening me?"
He Rongsheng didn't answer.
Huang's father was furious, "Okay, then I will sue Zhou Chang for raping my daughter! We will fight to the death, no one will think about it!"
He Rongsheng's face changed drastically.
