If it were Zhang Jiawei, I wouldn't be surprised. Do you know how Zhang Jiawei got into university?
Mo Yan shook her head, looking quite gossipy.
Li Tiantian instinctively wanted to speak, but Mo Yan grabbed her hand and squeezed it tightly, causing Li Tiantian to be unable to speak due to the pain.
"How did you pass the exam? Did you hire someone to take it for you?"
"No, that's not it. Their family isn't rich, is it? They don't think about how to work hard to earn money, they just think about finding in-laws. Zhang Jiawei has an older sister who got married to pay for his high school living expenses, and a second older sister who got married to pay for his college living expenses. We all say that if he gets married, he'll probably have to marry off his younger sister."
Li Tiantian: "???"
"Impossible, Jiawei isn't that kind of person."
Li Tiantian stood up, turned around, and went to her room.
The proprietress was a little confused. "Did I say something wrong?"
"No, that's not true. They're thinking of getting something for nothing. Zhang Jiawei tricked my daughter into getting a marriage certificate, and now he's planning to get something for nothing without paying a bride price. He's thinking of making me pay for it."
The landlady was furious when she heard this. "Auntie, you mustn't fall for it! They're just shameless bastards. They don't want to work hard; all they want is to take money from other people."
His younger siblings look quite pitiful, don't they?
But to be honest, it's impossible for them to not make a living. They're all grown up. They could earn some money by going out to pick up trash, do odd jobs, or help others. But people just don't want to. They think they're not the kind of people who do manual labor.
They want to change their fate by going to university.
"Auntie, let's be honest, everyone hopes their children can go to university, but these kids don't even think about making an effort to live. Using the excuse of going to university to do nothing and play the victim—this is the first time we've ever seen someone like this."
The landlady is right. Everyone in the same village has become very wealthy, but there is one family that is still the poorest. They always complain about their poor conditions. Could there be some reasons for that?
Li Tiantian stayed in her room the whole time, and she didn't believe a word the landlady said outside.
"Thank you, ma'am, I understand."
"No, no, I was just chatting with you guys."
The proprietress thought the girl was unlucky; how could she have been tricked?
"Boss lady, so you also have the concept of betrothal gifts and dowries here, right?"
"Of course, this is how it works here..."
The proprietress explained it to them in great detail, saying that in their eyes, a girl who doesn't give a bride price is worthless and will be looked down upon because she's offering herself up.
"Thank you, boss lady."
"No need to thank me, please enjoy your meal. Marriage is a lifelong commitment, so think it through carefully."
