Fu Wanning sneered, "Looks like I guessed right. The Du family really did come to annul the engagement, but you just wouldn't believe me. I told you long ago, the Pei family made such a big scandal, how could the Du family tolerate their daughter marrying a lazy, good-for-nothing imposter? They're not stupid. Whoever marries Pei Guangzong will become a laughing stock. Never underestimate the power of rumors."
Cui Hailu and Pei Guangzong felt as if the sky had fallen. With the marriage to Du Lixue gone, the Pei family had no reason to keep Pei Guangzong.
He will soon be expelled from the Pei family and return to being a member of the Cui family.
All the glory and wealth vanished like smoke.
"Hahaha, karma, it's all karma..." Pei Antong was determined that if she couldn't have it easy, she would never let Pei Guangzong have it easy either. Since even Pei's own mother had given up on her, she didn't need to save face for them. "Guangzong, we're really in the same boat. With you by my side, I won't be lonely!"
"Mom, you can't protect Pei Guangzong this time. The Cui family has no hope left, only Yaozu. But do you think the Pei family will let you teach Yaozu's mother? Don't let Yaozu disown you in the end. Do you know that you're already on the same path as Old Lady Fu? You'll soon become like her, divorced by your husband's family, abandoned by your own family, all alone, with nothing."
"Old Mrs. Fu has an eldest son, but what about you? Don't even think about relying on your nephew Pei Guangzong to support you. As for me, the mother-daughter relationship between you and me was severed the moment you abandoned me and chose Pei Guangzong."
Grandma Fu watched coldly as Cui Hailu recklessly headed in the direction of her own demise, knowing that her niece's fate would only be worse than her own.
"Your mother-daughter relationship is really weak. You fell out over a simple choice to go to the countryside. Tsk tsk, as my sister-in-law would say, it's a fake mother-daughter relationship. It's a shame you're supposed to be mother and daughter." Fu Wanning had suffered a lot of bullying from Pei Antong over the years, so she wouldn't easily let go of the opportunity to mock her. "Do you think Pei Guangzong and you will be treated the same when you go to the countryside? Your fate will be to become a slave who serves Pei Guangzong and works like a beast of burden for the Cui family."
“The entire Cui family is now crammed into the cowshed, penniless. They can support Pei Guangzong because he is their own son. They haven’t seen him for twenty years and miss him terribly. They will definitely do everything for him. But you are just a money-losing commodity. You have to earn work points to support yourself and the Cui family. Once they’ve used you, they’ll marry you off for a dowry.”
"They don't care whether you're Cui Hailu's biological daughter or not. To them, you're just a walking unit of goodwill. They'll sell you to some remote mountain village or to an old widower, whichever offers the highest price. Believe me, even your own mother, Cui Hailu, wouldn't dare to complain. She won't go against her brother and sister-in-law, and might even agree to the marriage. After all, with your terrible reputation, it's good enough that you can even get married."
Old Mrs. Fu, recalling her near-sale experience, felt a surge of anger. "Don't underestimate the Cui family's depravity. All that talk of kinship is a lie. They dared to sell even my old mother, let alone a girl in her twenties. The bride price is much higher than my mother's. Especially those who sell you to remote mountain villages to be shared wives. Once you go there, you'll be stuck there for life because they're afraid you'll run away. They'll chain you up and lock you in the woodshed, turning you into a breeding machine."
"If I were you, I would sever ties with my family. Today's me is tomorrow's you."
Fu Yuzhong, who had been silent all along, finally chimed in, "Once they get tired of you, they'll use your body to make dirty money. I saw it in Qingshan Village before. You only need to pay 50 cents to play with them, and if you die, they'll just throw you into the mass grave..."
