"Okay, thank you, boss lady."
Mo Yan saw the proprietress out; what she said was the truth.
When I got back, I saw Li Tiantian coming out to eat.
Mo Yan walked over and slapped her hand. Li Tiantian was in pain and dropped her chopsticks.
What will you eat with the things I bought?
Li Tiantian felt extremely wronged. She looked up at Mo Yan with teary eyes and said, "Mom, I'm really tired these past two days. I'm physically and mentally exhausted. Please stop making a fuss."
She used to think that life was full of beauty, but these past two days she has felt that being a person is really tiring.
Mo Yan pushed her away and started eating, not letting her touch her at all.
"That's your own fault. I didn't say anything even though you ruined my life."
Look at what Zhang Jiawei has done! There was a car, but he made us walk back.
Despite their poor family circumstances, they insisted on having 10,000 to 20,000 cattle and sheep.
Despite having many problems, they insisted that I asked their family for too much dowry.
Li Tiantian, use your pig brain! Ask your friends, or even just search on Baidu, who doesn't ask for a bride price when they get married?
"Are you deaf to what the landlady just said?"
Li Tiantian felt even more aggrieved after being pushed aside.
She definitely heard it, but her first instinct was to protect Zhang Jiawei.
"Jiawei said that many people in the village can't stand seeing their family doing well. Maybe they said that on purpose?"
Mom, one is my husband, and the other is a stranger. Of course I have to trust my husband.
As for the bride price, why do you have to bring this up? Tell me, even if we ask for a bride price, and they agree and lend us the money, wouldn't I have to pay it back later?
"As long as we truly love each other, there's no need for this."
Mo Yan put down her chopsticks and slapped her on the forehead. "What's in your head? I've told you hundreds of times, it's not about how many times, it's about attitude, whether you're willing to give it to me, whether I value you or not."
Forget it, get back to your room. I get angry just looking at you.
No bride price, no dowry, but you don't care about that anyway.
Li Tiantian was not happy about that. She started wailing at the top of her lungs, "Dad, why did you leave so early? Look, now that you're gone, this is how Mom treats me. She didn't even give me a dowry!"
Mo Yan slapped her across the face, making her dizzy. "How about I send you to see your dad right now, so you can see if he'll hit you?"
Li Tiantian: "..."
Li Tiantian covered her mouth, and this time the tears were real. "Mom, why did you hit me?"
"Because you deserve to be beaten, I'm also in trouble, I don't have any money either. Anyway, your love is so noble, so you can slowly struggle alongside him."
With love, you won't need to eat or drink; you'll attain immortality!
Li Tiantian: "..."
Mo Yan didn't leave her a single bite of food; she ate it all.
After finishing their meal, they even took the bowls and chopsticks away.
Li Tiantian sat on the sofa and cried, tears streaming down her face.
She was crying and sniffling at the same time; it looked awful.
Mo Yan ignored her, closed the door, and went back to sleep.
Seeing that Mo Yan was asleep, Li Tiantian hurried over to open the door, but she couldn't open it no matter what she tried.
He could only call Zhang Jiawei from outside.
Zhang Jiawei had already fallen asleep and didn't answer the phone at all.
Li Tiantian could only sit on the sofa, hugging her knees and continuing to cry.
They were really happy when they were dating. She had even planned that once they got married, she could go back to find a job.
When the time comes, they can buy a house and a car, and then they can live a simple life together. When their lives improve, they can have a child.
Back then, she could ask her mother to help take care of the child, so she could continue to earn money.
The idea was wonderful, but I didn't expect my mom to disagree when I got home, and now she's doing everything she can to stop me.
Li Tiantian thought she would cry all night, but she fell asleep soon after.
She saw her father in her dream and cried with him.
"Dad, Mom is mean to me. She won't let me be with the person I like."
"That means that person is not good."
"No, the person I like is a very nice person."
It seems they ended up arguing, and she was severely beaten.
She ran away quickly.
He turned around and fell to the ground with a thud.
Li Tiantian quickly got up, her body aching terribly, as if she had been beaten up.
She looked outside; it was already daylight.
She quickly took out her phone and found that it was already eight o'clock, and Zhang Jiawei had also sent a message.
Jiawei's husband: [Sweetie, have you eaten yet? I made you some delicious noodles. I know you don't like the food here, so I made breakfast especially for you.]
Jiawei's husband: [I'm sorry about yesterday. My grandparents aren't good at expressing themselves. You know, it's not that I'm unwilling to give a bride price, it's just that I genuinely don't have that much money.]
Jiawei's husband: [I always felt that marriage was a matter between the two of us. I have younger siblings, and I can't spend too much of my family's money. Right now, we don't have money to buy a fancy wedding dress or a ring, but you have my truest love.]
Jiawei's husband: [There's something I don't know how to tell you, because I'm afraid you'll leave me if I do. My family doesn't actually own that many cattle and sheep; those belong to my parents' boss. My dad's business failed years ago, and he ended up working for others.]
Jiawei's husband: [I should have told you these things a long time ago. I was afraid you would leave me if I told you. I'm so sorry... I wanted to give you everything, but I was powerless to do so.]
Jiawei's husband: [If you regret it, I'll take you home after breakfast. I wish you all the best from now on.]
Jiawei's husband: [Actually, I know your mother is right. There should be a bride price, three gold pieces, and wedding photos. It's just that I'm not capable enough to provide these things.]
Jiawei's husband: [My parents raised us with great difficulty, and I also have younger siblings who are at a crucial stage of their education. If you come with me, you'll suffer.]
Jiawei's husband: [It's my fault. I was too selfish. I wanted you to be with me, but I overlooked what I could give you.]
Upon seeing these, Li Tiantian burst into tears and rushed into the room, crying, "Mom, look at this!"
Mo Yan took it and looked at it. "What are you trying to prove? That he lied to you?"
"No, he was telling me the truth, which means he wasn't lying to me."
Mo Yan's lips twitched; this kid was hopeless.
"Whatever, it's up to you. You can discuss it with them yourself. I'm going to spend a couple of days nearby. Let me know when it's time, I'm not involved anymore."
Li Tiantian's eyes lit up with surprise and delight upon hearing this. "Mom, you agree?"
"Oh, I'll pretend I never had a child. I just gave birth to a mentally challenged child. Now I'm planning to get rid of the mentally challenged child and try to live a few more years."
