Their family has already been shunned by the villagers because of this daughter, and they absolutely cannot let her leave the village again. She will be married off in three years.
Hearing this, Zhang Lan was furious but dared not say anything. She thought to herself that once she recovered, she would definitely run away, but this time she wouldn't listen to her mother. She had a bright future ahead of her; she would find Wei Lin and make him take responsibility…
Mo Yan took Xiao Ran back to the village. As soon as they arrived, Mo Yan went to Xiao Ran's house and apologized to Xiao Ran's mother while crying.
"Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry. My husband Wei Lin made a mistake and is now in solitary confinement. I don't know when he'll be locked up. I feel so sorry for Xiao Ran. I don't know what to do."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran's mother was stunned. What was going on?
Mo Yan said that on purpose in front of the villagers, and the villagers asked what was wrong.
"What exactly happened to Mo Yan? Didn't Sister-in-law Xiao Ran say that Wei Lin wanted to break off the engagement?"
People were still saying that they knew Xiao Ran was unlucky; if she had married Wei Lin, she wouldn't have to worry about anything.
"It's all our fault for letting Xiaoran down. My good-for-nothing son made a mistake in the team and has been disciplined. He'll probably be expelled in a few months."
Xiao Ran, thank you for staying by my side. Our family has wronged you. I wonder if you would still be willing to come to my house and be my daughter, okay?
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran's mother became somewhat displeased, "Then what about the bride price..."
Xiao Ran was very upset. At this point, her mother was only concerned about the bride price.
“I don’t care. My aunt’s wedding will still go ahead as planned. It doesn’t matter if Wei Lin doesn’t come back. I’ll still get married.”
Auntie is right. She has to be ruthless. Her parents' attitude is very clear. Staying at home will eventually lead to her being discovered, and she might even be married off to someone else. She might as well go through with the wedding and live with her auntie. With the proof, her household registration can be transferred out, and she won't have to live at the mercy of her sister-in-law anymore.
Xiao Ran's sister-in-law was quite happy. Since Wei Lin had made a mistake, it meant Xiao Ran would no longer be an official's wife, which made her happy.
"Mom, it's okay that Wei Lin is back. Our Xiao Ran is very hardworking, she'll definitely be able to live a good life. That's all."
So Xiao Ran's mother agreed. As for Xiao Ran's father, who knew the truth, he had promised not to tell her. He was still a little heartbroken for his daughter. Of course, there was another reason: knowing that his daughter was pregnant, he knew he couldn't find anyone else, so it was better to leave it at that.
However, Mo Yan told everyone, "I'm not marrying off a daughter-in-law. Wei Lin is a scoundrel. He deserved to be punished for his wrongdoing. I'm here to pick up my daughter. From now on, Xiao Ran has nothing to do with that bastard Wei Lin, but Xiao Ran is my daughter."
The village held a lively celebration, but it wasn't a wedding, and there was no groom; it didn't matter at all.
Xiao Ran will live with Mo Yan. As for Wei Lin's younger brother, he is currently working at a hospital in the city. Mo Yan has thought about it and will ask her younger son to help rent a house so she can take Xiao Ran there to start a small business.
This youngest son has a white moonlight in his heart, but she just doesn't want to get married. Mo Yan doesn't dare to force her. In the previous life, the original owner tried to force her, but she was stubborn and made a big fuss about not getting married for the rest of her life. Actually, whether or not they get married is not important, as long as the child is happy.
The villagers all came to the wedding feast, and everyone said that Xiao Ran was honest and a little silly.
Wei Lin is already in trouble, why did she still marry into this family?
It's said that Mo Yan is taking in a daughter, but would Mo Yan be so kind? Isn't she just marrying off a wife to his son?
Even Xiao Ran's mother said to Xiao Ran, "Xiao Ran, you've seen it yourself, our family isn't doing well, so I can't give you much of a dowry. I've already used some of the money from your previous betrothal gifts. So, I'll give you ten yuan as a dowry and some quilts, okay?"
Seeing that her daughter's in-laws would be unable to help her in the future, she felt she had to keep some of the dowry. It wasn't easy for them to raise such a daughter; they had given her 320 yuan as a dowry, along with three large gifts.
Xiao Ran felt bitter inside, but she understood that her mother had no choice. This house was no longer hers. They had to consider the family and also their sister-in-law's thoughts.
“Daughter, don’t blame us. We’ll have to live at the mercy of others from now on. If we don’t do our best for your brother now, who will take care of us when we are old, sick and dying?”
Wei Lin's mother's idea is good. You're going to be her daughter, not her daughter-in-law, so I can feel more at ease.
But in our family, you're like a married daughter now, you understand? We don't know who we'll rely on in the future.”
Xiao Ran moved her lips, wanting to say that she would come...
"Don't even mention relying on yourself. There's no such thing as relying on a married woman since ancient times. I've withheld your dowry, and I've already told you that from now on you should focus on your husband's family and not come back unless necessary."
Xiao Ran's mother wiped away her tears as she watched her daughter get married. From now on, her daughter would belong to someone else's family and would have nothing to do with them anymore. As parents, all they could do was tell their son not to bother their daughter in the future.
They feel sorry for their daughter, and all they can do is ask her to bear with it.
Xiao Ran got married.
Having married into this family alone, Mo Yan presented proof and asked the village chief to help register Xiao Ran's household registration. Xiao Ran was registered in her own home, unrelated to Wei Lin. In the future, Xiao Ran could remarry if she met someone worthy of her trust.
The villagers felt sorry for Xiao Ran, thinking that this girl was really honest and kind; she married into her husband's family even though they were in trouble, which was truly admirable.
No one in the village took Mo Yan's words about taking her daughter to school to heart until later when Mo Yan married off her daughter, and then they realized that Mo Yan was sincere.
Everyone was still discussing it at that time.
"Xiao Ran is such a silly girl. Mo Yan said she would come back after making a mistake. Could she have gone to jail?"
"That Wei Lin, he's stupid too, he just ruined such a bright future?"
"Exactly, what will Xiao Ran do in the future?"
"I thought I was going to enjoy a life of luxury, but it seems I won't be able to enjoy it at all now."
"I always thought that you can't see through people, and that fortunes change. Look what happened. Poor Xiao Ran."
"Alright, alright, stop talking. You guys should eat now. Even a banquet won't shut you up."
Xiao Ran changed into her usual clothes in her room and confidently followed Mo Yan out to offer toasts.
Everyone thought the girl was silly.
On the third day, Xiao Ran went back to her parents' home, but was stopped at the door. It turned out that everyone had been saying that Wei Lin was probably in trouble, and Xiao Ran's sister-in-law felt ashamed and wouldn't let Xiao Ran go back.
Looking at her familiar home, Xiao Ran suddenly felt a sense of estrangement. People used to say that when your parents are gone, you lose your family home, but now... her parents are still alive, but she has no family home anymore.
She stood at the door, but no one opened it. Her mother, who was inside, said, "Go back. You don't need to come back to your parents' home."
Xiao Ran's nose felt very sore, and tears kept falling. She wondered if her parents were so angry back then, demanding justice for her, because they were mostly after money.
In order to get some compensation from her mother, she didn't care whether her daughter was there or not after she received it.
