"You guys, relying on your relationship, are speaking in Li Dajun's favor.
But our Xiu'er is a grown-up girl, and such a good girl was ruined by Li Dajun. Oh my god, that's it for today. If you don't give me 300 yuan, forget it.
You, the Li family, can expect to be extinct from all descendants!"
Lin Xiuer's mother issued an ultimatum. She thought that Li Dajun had so many relatives, and if each of them contributed some money, it would be enough for at least 300 yuan.
She saw that Old Lady Li just didn't want to give it to her!
"No, that's not the case. Dajun and Xiu'er are in a free love relationship!"
Old Lady Li quickly tried to make amends, saying that Lin Xiuer's mother spoke too fast and she didn't have time to stop her before she blurted out everything.
"Wait! You just said that Lin Xiu'er and Li Dajun weren't in a free relationship? They were just being hooligans?"
A female comrade asked, her expression serious, completely devoid of the joy she had when she first entered the room.
Lin Xiuer's mother wanted to add fuel to the fire, but Old Lady Li was afraid of something happening, so she rushed over and covered her mouth.
"Comrade! You were sent by the village and have no connection with my family. I believe you will handle this matter impartially. This is not the case.
My Dajun and Xiuer are currently discussing marriage, but the Lin family is asking for too much in terms of gifts, so Xiuer's mother deliberately said this."
As she spoke, she pinched Lin Xiuer's mother hard, "You damn old woman, if you want to get yourself killed, don't drag my son down with you!"
Lin Xiuer's mother suddenly realized that these were not Li Dajun's aunts and uncles at all, but comrades sent by the village.
It's over. She just said so much. Doesn't that confirm her crime of hooliganism?
Lin Xiuer's parents' faces turned pale. They might not only lose their daughter but also not get the betrothal money.
"Yes, yes! I was just talking nonsense, don't listen to me, our two families are discussing marriage right now!
Our Xiu'er is getting married for the first time, so we have to make it a grand occasion! "
They tried their best to explain themselves, and only then did the women stop pestering them.
"That's the best. Your affair will have a bad impact, so you must get married as soon as possible.
As for the bride price, three hundred yuan is too high. Even in the city it is not that high.
Take my advice, you can't delay this matter any longer. If you delay it for too long, complications are bound to arise.
If not, we can compromise and offer 150 yuan, which is quite a lot in the village!"
Their mission today is to get the Li and Lin families to set a date!
"What? One hundred and fifty? You want to marry my daughter for one hundred and fifty? Impossible! That's too little!"
Lin Xiuer's mother refused to do it. It cost her more than this to raise a daughter!
"No? Then what do you want to do?
Now, they must settle the marriage, otherwise they will have an affair.
If you want to see both of them go to jail, then don't do it!"
They tried threats, pleading, and reasoning, but Lin Xiuer's parents were still more afraid.
He could not get any benefit from it, so he finally agreed to marry Lin Xiuer to the Li family for a betrothal gift of 150 yuan.
The two families also set a date under the witness of the staff. It was very quick, just five days later, which was also the deadline given by the brigade.
After much persuasion and sending away the women, Old Lady Li reluctantly went into the house to get the money, which scared her to death.
Where's the money? Where's the ticket?
They are all gone!
It’s gone under the boxes, in the wall tiles, everywhere!
There are only a few hundred dollars left, and only a few banknotes are left!
"Da Jun! Da Jun! Come quickly, there's a thief in the house!"
Old lady Li called Li Dajun over. She had already turned the house into a mess, with clothes and pants scattered everywhere.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
"My money is gone, and my tickets are gone too. Those are what I saved my whole life!"
Old Mrs. Li grabbed his arm, her eyes red. She felt like her world was falling apart because she had lost her money.
"Mom, don't worry, how much money did you lose? Did you put it in the wrong place?
Let’s look for it carefully first.”
Li Dajun didn't know how much she had lost, so he could only accompany her and search everywhere inside and outside the house. Lin Xiuer's family had already returned home and were just waiting to send money to pick up the bride the next day.
I searched through all the boxes and drawers but couldn't find the money and tickets that Old Lady Li mentioned.
Old Mrs. Li sat slumped on the ground, clutching a few pieces of clothing in her hands, completely devoid of her shabby, shameless, and aggressive look.
"Dajun, Mom lost the money you used to get married."
Li Dajun didn't know how much money she had, and he had never seen it with his own eyes, so he was not very sad.
"It's okay, Mom. Lin Xiu'er must marry me. I'll give you the betrothal money later. Don't get sick from anger. You still have to spend money, and the ground is cold."
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Li quickly got up. She couldn't afford to get sick again, otherwise she would have to spend money on medical treatment!
"Son, where did the money go? Did your ex-wife steal it?"
Old Lady Li asked, but immediately shook her head. "No, no, she doesn't know where the key is, and she has never been into this room."
Because of the matter between Lin Xiu'er and Li Dajun, she had kept a close eye on Chen Miaoyi, and she had no chance to enter this room.
Instead, it was possible that Lin Xiuer sneaked in.
"Dajun, Mom knows, it must be Lin Xiuer who stole the money!
Now she wants a betrothal gift, she's trying to take all our money away!"
It's nothing more than inviting trouble upon oneself. Old Lady Li felt very regretful. She shouldn't have let her guard down against Lin Xiu'er.
"Mom, no way, it's useless for her to steal money. She's going to marry me anyway."
Li Dajun said that his current affection for Lin Xiuer was not as great as his affection for Chen Miaoyi. Of course, it was only a spiritual affection.
"You're stupid! She stole it back to give to her parents and make some extra money for the bride price. No wonder she agreed to only one hundred and fifty yuan!"
After thinking about everything, Mrs. Li felt that she had figured it out. It must be Lin Xiu'er who stole the money.
"Mom, what should we do now? Without the betrothal money, they won't let me go."
Old Lady Li forced herself to calm down. Her son was not smart, so she had to plan everything.
"No rush, Dajun, let's get married first. The Lin family will definitely not keep Xiu'er forever.
You should secretly find Xiu'er, be nice to her, say nice things to coax her, and let her get a marriage certificate with you first.
When she gives birth to a child, whether she has a betrothal gift or not, she will have to come to our house."
The most vicious method that Old Lady Li said was to use the child to lure Lin Xiuer out and trap her!
As long as the marriage certificate is obtained, the child will be legitimate. What else will you worry about then?
Once they have a child, Lin Xiuer will plan for the child. Then, won’t everything belong to their Li family?
"Okay, Mom, I'll listen to you. I'll go find Xiu'er tomorrow and coax her into getting married with me!"
Li Dajun may not be good at anything else, but he listens to Old Lady Li.
