Chapter 359 The Girl Who Gave Birth to a Child Out of Wedlock (1)
"Uncle, aunt, I will raise the child after it is born. I will raise it well. Please, please agree to it."
"Raise it, what can you do to raise it? You are still a child yourself!" Qian Shiyi's stepfather looked light-hearted, but his words were heavy.
"Shiyi is the only girl in our family. She has never suffered any hardship since she was a child. Now you want to take her away by kneeling down and saying a few words. We don't agree." Qian's mother, who suffered from mental illness, was now very sober.
"Uncle and aunt, I promise, I promise, Shiyi will not suffer any loss if she follows me." Yin Wei crawled to the two of them on his knees, eager to grab one of their hands, but could only watch them stand up.
"You are just a junior high school student yourself, how can you raise her? How can you guarantee that she will not suffer any loss if she follows you?!" Qian Shiyi's stepfather looked down at the child kneeling on the ground. He knew that their family was rich, but no matter how rich they were, they were still kneeling at his feet.
"My parents will treat Shiyi well and will never let Shiyi suffer. I will treat Shiyi well too." Yin Wei grabbed his trouser legs as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
He actually knew that Shiyi was not close to his parents at home. But the big mistake had been made, and he could only admit his mistake to Shiyi's family and find a way to save it.
"At this point, the only way is to get married." Qian Shiyi's stepfather kicked him aside.
"Get married..." Yin Wei knelt on the ground, stunned for a moment, and then said firmly: "Then get married. Shiyi will not lack anything in our family, you don't have to worry about anything."
Although he was just a child, he understood that rural people's words were scary. If he didn't get married, Shiyi, who was pregnant, would have no way to survive whether she gave birth to the child or not. If she gave birth to the child, she would be unmarried and would be spit on by the villagers. She herself was a child who didn't graduate from junior high school. Her stepfather didn't care about her, and her mother was mentally ill. How could she support herself and the child? If the child is aborted, it will definitely hurt Shi Yi's body. She is so young, what if she can't have children in the future? But getting married means taking responsibility. They haven't even finished junior high school yet.
Since it has come to this, Qian's mother is no longer polite and tells her the betrothal gift that she and her husband had agreed on last night.
"200,000 yuan, how can our family afford 200,000 yuan?" Yin Wei's lips trembled slightly, and he didn't dare to look back at the girl kneeling behind him. It was because he couldn't help but taste the forbidden fruit for the first time that she ended up like this. But he was just a child after all, and he had never earned money. He didn't know how to ask his parents for the money.
"This 200,000 is just the betrothal gift. You have to buy three kinds of gold for Shi Yi, starting at at least 30,000, and give red envelopes to the two of us old people, at least 5,000 every time we meet. You have to bring vegetables, grains, oil, rice and noodles to visit during festivals. According to the custom on the wedding day, you have to give us a change of name fee. It's up to you to choose 10,000 to 30,000. Shi Yi is the only girl in our family. Now she is with you and pregnant with your child. You can decide for yourself." Qian's mother and her husband looked at each other, almost certain that the fees she mentioned could be in their hands. Shi Yi,
who had been kneeling behind Yin Wei in silence, suddenly spoke.
"Are you selling your daughter?" She looked coldly, and her words did not hide the sarcasm.
"What are you talking about, kid? Your father and I are doing this for your own good!" Qian's mother became anxious and covered her head. When she got excited, her head would hurt.
"Look at you, you shameless bitch..." Because Yin Wei was present, the stepfather swallowed the word "slut" but became even more emotional. He scolded her, "You did such a shameful thing, and we made plans for you, but you still don't appreciate it? You've made your mother so angry!"
After hearing what her husband said, Qian's mother couldn't hide her emotions. She covered her head and cried "Aiya, ahiya", fearing that others would not know that she was angry.
Yin Wei didn't expect her to stand on his side. Looking back at her, he found that her eyes, which had always been weak, had a hint of determination.
She was half a year younger than him. He felt a little distressed.
"Yin Wei's family can't afford 200,000 yuan, and they don't have the other expenses you mentioned." Shi Yi looked up at his mother, without a trace of emotion in his eyes, "Yin Wei and I committed the mistake together. He is responsible, and I am also responsible. I can't open this with the Yin family just because I am a victim."
"You are right to get pregnant before marriage?!" The stepfather picked up the bench and was about to smash it at her, completely forgetting that she was now a pregnant woman.
Yin Wei was afraid that he would really smash it down, so she hurried to protect Shi Yi. He wiped away his tears and promised again, "I will never let Shi Yi down, and I will definitely marry Shi Yi home. But can the betrothal money be a little less?"
Their family is not a particularly wealthy family, but they opened a mahjong hall at home, which has an extra income compared to ordinary farmers. When his parents knew that he had done such a shameful thing, they were so angry that they almost fell ill and didn't want to intervene at all. That's why he came to talk by himself.
"It's shameful to get pregnant before marriage, but it's not as good as you as parents scheming against your children." Shi Yi looked at the stepfather with his head held high, and said word by word: "If you dare to touch me today, the prison gate will be waiting for you. I'm not my mother, I won't wait to be slaughtered by you!"
"Shi Yi, what are you talking about?" Qian's mother, who covered her head and shouted, was stunned. Is this still her weak daughter who didn't say a word even when beaten? She was wondering if her daughter had been switched.
Shi Yi did not answer her. He held Yin Wei's hand and said calmly: "I definitely don't have the 200,000 yuan betrothal gift you want, but I don't mind giving you a few tens of thousands of yuan. After you give us these tens of thousands of yuan, we will have nothing to do with each other."
"You idiot! Who of us treats you well? Don't you know that? He is lying to you! He is so young and can't get a marriage certificate. When he goes to high school and college in the future, do you think he will still be interested in you who have a child? Wake up! Nothing is more reassuring than holding money in your hand!" The stepfather kicked over the stool next to him, wishing he could pick up the whip hanging on the wall and beat her.
"Will you give me this 200,000 yuan?" Shi Yi looked up at her mother, her eyes were so sharp, so sharp that Qian's mother had to avoid making eye contact with her.
