Yu Qiuying's words, "Anyway, your family doesn't have a son," really hit He Hongxiu hard.
When Zhong Dalong heard that she wanted Zhou Jiadong to come and become her son-in-law, his face darkened. When he heard that she wanted five hundred yuan and to come and live in her house, he immediately exploded.
He slammed his fist on the table in anger, “We don’t take in live-in sons-in-law!”
He Hongxiu was willing to let Zhou Jiadong come to her house, but she was unwilling to pay him, and she didn't want Yu Qiuying to stay at her house.
Zhong Xiaolan's heart sank even further. She had been in a bad mood for the past two days because Zhou Jiadong hadn't come to see her since he went back that day.
She had considered that Zhou Jiadong's mother would object to the marriage, since it was difficult for an ordinary family to come up with a dowry of 1,000 yuan, let alone Zhou Jiadong's family, who were from the countryside. However, she had a way to control Zhou Jiadong. She had already thought it through: even if his mother had to borrow money, she would still have to scrape together a dowry of 1,000 yuan.
To my utter surprise, his mother turned out to be such an uncultured, vulgar, greedy, and rude person!
What he didn't expect was that his mother actually wanted him to become her son-in-law!
Normally, if she hadn't met Yu Qiuying, she might have been happy to have Zhou Jiadong come over. But at this moment, looking at this slovenly and uncouth Yu Qiuying, Zhong Xiaolan felt like she couldn't breathe.
She doesn't want a mother-in-law like that, whether she marries into the family or Zhou Jiadong moves in with them!
"Ahhh, Zhong Xiaolan, kick her out right now!" Zhong Xiaoting screamed angrily as she watched Yu Qiuying reach for her favorite pastry.
Yu Qiuying didn't care at all about the Zhong family's ugly expressions. "By the way, let me see how many rooms your family has."
Without giving the Zhong family a chance to react, he stood up and quickly went into the main house.
He Hongxiu's expression changed, and she rushed over immediately. She saw Yu Qiuying sitting on the bed with her hands touching everything. "Oh my, this bed is so big, and this quilt is so soft. It must be so comfortable to sleep on."
She turned to look at He Hongxiu, who rushed in with a gloomy face, and said, "Mother-in-law, I'll stay in this room. I'll come and stay here after Jia Dong comes over."
"Ahhh, you motherfucker! Get out of here!" He Hongxiu couldn't take it anymore and screamed as she grabbed Yu Qiuying and dragged her out.
"Hey, mother-in-law, what are you doing? How could you do this? Let's talk this out!" Yu Qiuying pretended to struggle as she was dragged out.
Once they reached the living room, she shook off her hand. "Fine, fine, stop pulling me. I won't stay at your place anymore, okay? You're so stingy! Fine, just give me the money first, and I'll have Jia Dong come over tomorrow."
"But we'll be in-laws from now on, so if my family ever encounters any difficulties, your family has to lend a hand!"
"Get out of here! Who's your in-law?! Who cares if your son marries into the family! Get out of here right now!" Zhong Dalong couldn't take it anymore and stood up abruptly, looking like he was about to hit Yu Qiuying if she didn't leave.
Yu Qiuying feigned fear and shrank back, "What's going on? Why are you so fierce? Fine, if you're not going to take in a son-in-law, then forget it. Anyway, my family can't afford that much dowry."
As she spoke, she took out a cloth bag from her pocket and stuffed all the fruits and pastries on the low table into it. "I've come all this way, so I'll take these back and eat them."
After finishing packing, she glanced at the house with a resentful look. "What a pity. I was hoping to live in the city for a while. Um, you really don't take in sons-in-law? Why don't you reconsider? After all, you don't have any sons. When you die, there won't be anyone to break the pot for you!"
Her response was a furious roar from Zhong Dalong: "Get out of here!!!"
With a loud bang, Yu Qiuying was dragged out by He Hongxiu. The door was slammed shut with a deafening roar, and a lot of plaster was shaken off the walls.
Yu Qiuying smiled and left the Zhong family feeling completely at ease.
