Wang Jinfeng was a little anxious after hearing this:
"Da Qiang, what are you talking about? You've seen how I treated Bao Rui. How can he not support me when I'm old?"
When Liu Daqiang heard that Wang Jinfeng had taken the bait, he pretended to sigh:
"Bao Rui, let's not talk about it. The child has feelings for you and I can't ignore you. I'm just afraid that my daughter-in-law will have opinions!"
"This is what I think. If you contribute to Baorui's betrothal gift, my daughter-in-law will definitely have nothing to say when the time comes!"
"Even if she doesn't want to raise me, Baorui and I can't let her do that, don't you think, Jinfeng?"
When Wang Jinfeng heard that she was asked to pay, she immediately wilted. If she had more money, she would have paid less, but she didn't earn much to begin with, and she had to spend a lot to subsidize her parents' home. The Chinese New Year was coming this month, and she had just given all the money to her eldest brother and sister-in-law. Now her pocket was empty than her face!
Seeing Wang Jinfeng like this, Liu Daqiang knew that she didn't want to pay, so he added:
"I don't know if Manman can support you. It doesn't look like Manman can support you in old age. What's more, you need a uncle-in-law. I don't know if your uncle-in-law can tolerate you as his mother-in-law!"
"That's not right. It should be whether Manman's in-laws can accommodate you. I hope Manman's mother-in-law and her husband are all lenient, otherwise I'd be really worried about your retirement, Jinfeng!"
When Wang Jinfeng heard about letting Lin Manman take care of her in her old age, she directly denied it:
"I can't count on that damn girl Lin Manman, and I don't count on her either!"
"When I get old, I'll be counting on you and Baorui. You and Baorui can't just ignore me!"
Liu Daqiang pretended to be embarrassed and said:
"This, this won't count when the time comes. By then, Baorui and my daughter-in-law will be the ones in charge!"
"Jinfeng, if you help them now, they will remember your kindness and treat you well in return!"
"If you don't exert any strength now, I won't be able to say anything to you when the time comes!"
Seeing this critical moment, Wang Jinfeng had no choice but to tell the truth:
"It's not that I don't want to pay, it's mainly because I really don't have any money!"
"When that damn girl Lin Manman went to the countryside, all my money was taken away by that damn girl. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to get the household allowance for the past two months!"
Liu Daqiang said half-believingly:
"Lin Manman stole your money? Why didn't you tell me at the time? I didn't see you calling the police!"
Wang Jinfeng looked at Liu Daqiang with some embarrassment and said:
"This money is what I saved up. I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would get suspicious!"
"As for calling the police, that's absolutely not possible. I can't have anything to do with the Lin family!"
After Wang Jinfeng said this, Liu Daqiang believed most of it, but he was very disappointed that he couldn't get the money.
"What should we do now? Baorui's betrothal gift has not been settled yet, and you usually give a lot of money to your parents' home. How about you ask your parents for some?"
When Wang Jinfeng heard that she was asking for money from her parents, she shook her head like a rattle and said:
"How can that be possible? How can my brother and sister-in-law have any money? My eldest nephew just got married and he has even less money!"
"However, don't worry about Daqiang's money. We are going to the countryside, and Lin Manman is in the same place as Baorui. I can just ask her for the money back when the time comes!"
Liu Daqiang slapped his head and said:
"How could I forget about this? Manman and Baorui both went to the countryside from the same place. But now Manman seems to be a little disobedient. Can I give you the money?"
Wang Jinfeng glared and said:
"How dare she not give it to me? That's my money. Besides, I'm her mother. Not to mention getting my own money back, even if it's the money in her hands, she has to give it to me!"
"Da Qiang, don't worry. I'll also get back the money you gave to that damn girl this time when we go!"
Hearing this, Liu Daqiang was satisfied. He picked up a large piece of braised pork for Wang Jinfeng and said:
"Jinfeng, try this braised pork. I added extra sauce because I know you like it!"
Wang Jinfeng was very moved when she saw Liu Daqiang picking up some meat for her.
"Daqiang, you are so nice to me!"
In order to get the money that Wang Jinfeng was about to get, Liu Daqiang said a bunch of sweet words to her as if they were free!
After the meal, Liu Daqiang showed his prowess again and served Wang Jinfeng well, which made Wang Jinfeng so happy that she thought she was back to the time when they were newly married.
Neither of them was young anymore, and after struggling for half the night, they almost missed the train the next morning!
The two of them hurriedly boarded a train with their luggage and took more than two days to reach Harbin. They then took a bus and arrived at the Minjin Production Team, exhausted.
When he arrived at the Minjin production team, Liu Daqiang asked around and finally found his way to Aunt Zhang's house and met Liu Baorui!
Seeing Liu Baorui, Liu Daqiang almost didn't recognize him. He saw that Liu Baorui's ugly pockmarked face was now covered with scabs. Liu Daqiang was shocked and said:
"Bao Rui, what happened to you? Who scratched you like this?!"
Hearing Liu Daqiang's words, Aunt Zhang felt a little embarrassed, and she quickly tried to smooth things over:
"My dear relatives, this is a long story. The couple had a quarrel and then they started fighting. Shanniu was really reckless!"
"But now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, let's not talk about it anymore, let's not talk about it anymore!"
When Liu Daqiang heard that it was Liu Baorui's country wife who scratched him, he immediately said unwillingly:
"How can you tickle your husband's wife? Our Liu family can't afford such a daughter-in-law. Come on, Baorui, let's divorce that country bitch!"
When she heard about the divorce, Aunt Zhang stopped trying to persuade them and snorted coldly:
"Divorce! Let Liu Zhiqing divorce our Shanniu right now. It just so happens that our Shanniu doesn't want to live like this anymore. Whoever wants to live like a widow can do so!"
"Do you really think your son is such a good guy? Calling him your son is flattering him. Your son is nothing but a second-rate man. If they didn't know this before, who would be willing to marry your son?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Daqiang immediately became dispirited and did not dare to pursue Liu Baorui's injury. His face turned red and white. Finally, he was afraid that Aunt Zhang would tell the truth to others outside, so he smiled and said:
"My dear, I am just worried about the child's injury. I just said it in anger. Please don't take it to heart!"
"Our family has no objection to the marriage of the two children. Otherwise, the mother and I wouldn't have received the letter and come here as soon as we got it. Don't you agree?"
Aunt Zhang originally just wanted to control Liu Daqiang and Wang Jinfeng, and she didn't really want Ge Shanniu to divorce. After hearing what Liu Daqiang said, she naturally took the opportunity to back off:
"Don't be offended, my dear relatives. I am a country boy and I spoke a little hastily. I didn't mean any other thing!"
As he spoke, he pulled Wang Jinfeng and said affectionately:
"This must be Manman's mother, no wonder Manman is so pretty, it turns out she takes after you!"
"I like Manman the most. This girl and I are destined to be together. She and my Si Niu...it's only a matter of time. It's only a matter of time! Now that my mother-in-law is here, we can have this wedding together!"
