"Speak, what are your conditions?" Mr. Qiao looked at his usually timid daughter, never expecting her to stand up at this crucial moment. Could it be that she really loves Yang Huaiyuan to death?
He glared at Yang Huaiyuan with displeasure, accusing him of ruining his two daughters.
Qiao Shanshan held Yang Huaiyuan's hand tightly, blocking him. "Sister, Huaiyuan and I are truly in love. I will not divorce him. Just give up on that idea."
Qiao Wanyue tugged at her lips.
Qiao Shanshan's words didn't upset her much. Compared to staying in the Qiao family and marrying Yang Huaiyuan, she wanted to marry Lu Yunzhou more. Since Lu Yunzhou's fate was already decided, even if he sacrificed himself, it would be after she married Lu Yunzhou.
After they got their marriage certificate, he sacrificed his life, and she, Qiao Wanyue, became the wife of a martyr.
It will be much easier for her to start her own business in the future.
She suppressed the joy in her heart.
However, her face was clouded with worry, and she pretended to be unwilling. "You married Yang Huaiyuan without my permission, which tarnished my reputation. I want the Qiao family to compensate me with five hundred yuan of dowry and all of Lu Yunzhou's betrothal money."
In her past life, when she got married, Qiao's mother not only didn't give her a single penny of dowry, but also gave all the betrothal money to Qiao Shanshan. She only brought a few faded clothes to the Yang family, and was ridiculed by the Yang family and relatives that very day.
Yang Huaiyuan felt he had lost face and beat her severely on their wedding day.
Snap
Qiao's mother rushed over and slapped Qiao Wanyue.
Qiao Wanyue did not dodge.
She looked at Qiao's mother with a half-smile.
Mrs. Qiao: "You heartless wretch! I've raised you for so many years, and you're still eyeing your sister's dowry? That's your sister's dowry money! What does my Qiao family's money have to do with you?"
"Letting you marry Lu Yunzhou is an honor; take it or leave it."
Qiao's mother threatened him with a fierce look on her face.
If Qiao's mother acted like this normally, Qiao Wanyue would definitely be so frightened that she would kowtow and beg for forgiveness.
Qiao Shanshan thought so too.
Qiao Wanyue stubbornly raised her head, "Since Mom is unwilling, I'll hang myself right here at the Yang family's door. I want to see what the commune leaders will say when my brother-in-law and sister-in-law get together."
What does the whole brigade think of my dad as the brigade leader?
Qiao Wanyue turned to leave.
"stop."
"Give it to her," Mr. Qiao said sternly.
The brigade is facing an election; if such a scandal were to come out...
He shouldn't be the captain anymore.
Mrs. Qiao looked at Mr. Qiao reluctantly. The Lu family gave 800 yuan as a bride price, and the Yang family gave 200 yuan. She originally planned to give all this money to Shanshan as her private savings. That damned Qiao Wanyue, she's asking for an exorbitant amount.
“It’s not safe for you to carry so much money. I’ll put it in the dowry chest.” Mother Qiao used delaying tactics.
Qiao Wanyue understood her mother's thoughts perfectly well.
She silently lifted her foot and walked out. The commotion at the Qiao family's house was quite loud. There was no entertainment in the brigade at the moment, and those with sharp ears were all gathered at the door listening for the sounds. The Qiao family's house had a wooden door, which blocked out some of the noise.
Qiao Wanyue looked up to remove the door latch.
Mrs. Qiao gritted her teeth, "Stop! I'll get it for you!"
She turned and ran out of the room, reluctantly taking out two hundred yuan from a small cloth bag. "The Lu family gave one hundred yuan as a bride price, and the Yang family gave one hundred yuan. Here, take this. That's all the money we have at home. Your sister doesn't even have a dowry."
Qiao Wanyue merely glanced at her.
He remained silent.
