Chapter 74 Why Should I Give You the Girl for Free



Chen Xiaoying also understood that such a large sum of money was not taken from her, so she had to find a witness, so she said, "I know, don't worry, I will call her mother and son when I get out and ask them to bring the matchmaker over quickly."

Zhaojia Village is a bit far from the county town, and it takes an hour to ride a bicycle. Zhao Pengfei came here on a tricycle with his mother Li Hongyan.

The tricycle drove very fast along the way and arrived in half an hour.

Chen Xiaoying was planning to take Li Yutong away. Just as she was about to go out, she ran into Li Hongyan and Zhao Pengfei who came in a hurry.

"Grandma, you are really here, what are you doing here?" Zhao Pengfei was anxious.

On the way, his mother told him that his grandmother had gone to his girlfriend's house to ask for money for the bride price.

What's this?

He just got engaged to his girlfriend yesterday.

"Mom, what are you doing!"

Li Hongyan's eyes went dark and she almost fainted. How easy is it to find a wife nowadays? She was so angry that she almost shouted, "Do you really want to ruin Pengfei's marriage?"

Chen Xiaoying's face darkened.

When Li Hongyan saw her mother and saw her in Wang Jingjing's house, she not only did not feel guilty, but also dared to yell at her arrogantly.

"Who are you? Do I know you?"

Chen Xiaoying's words stunned Li Hongyan: "Mom, what are you talking about? How can you not even recognize me?"

"Yeah." Chen Xiaoying snorted coldly and looked behind them: "Didn't you bring a matchmaker?"

"Why bring a matchmaker?" Li Hongyan's heart sank, and she became nervous. She quickly changed the subject: "Mom, why did you come to Pengfei's partner's house?"

When seeing the mother and son, Wang Jingjing and her daughter did not look happy at all. This mother and son are really big liars.

Almost fooled them all.

"Xiao Jing, what's wrong?" Zhao Pengfei went over to show concern for Wang Jingjing and wanted to hold her little hand.

Wang Jingjing frowned and pushed it away: "Don't touch me."

Zhao Pengfei didn't dare to do it anymore and looked at his mother Li Hongyan with a puzzled look.

Wang Jingjing's father said, "Xiao Jing, just call your third uncle over."

The man Wang Jingjing calls Uncle San is the matchmaker between her and Zhao Pengfei.

Wang Jingjing went to look for her immediately.

"Let's all come in and talk." Wang Jingjing's father said, it's such an embarrassing thing, if we stay at the door someone will see us.

A group of people then came in and filled the yard of Wang Jingjing's house.

Li Hongyan wanted to play dumb and said to him, "My mother is old and confused. Don't take anything she said to heart."

"She is Pengfei's grandmother. She won't live with him and his wife in the future. You don't have to be afraid of her."

What are you talking about?

Her mother Chen Xiaoying's face turned ugly: "Yes, I am old and confused, so I let your extremely smart daughter take advantage of the opportunity and harm our family."

"Mom!" Li Hongyan was anxious and tried to wink at her.

Don't you see where this place is? Does she really want to mess up Pengfei's marriage? That's not a grandma, that's an enemy.

"Don't stare at me, you're just being petty." Chen Xiaoying said expressionlessly, "I've already told his uncle about the money, so you don't have to pretend anymore."

Li Hongyan was dumbfounded and quickly looked at Wang Jingjing's father, only to see that his face was cold, without any of the joy and politeness that he used to have as a father-in-law. He just took out a cigarette.

Zhao Pengfei was quick to take out matches and light a cigarette. His uncle wouldn't let him, so he stepped aside and lit it himself.

Zhao Pengfei didn't know what to do: "Mom?"

Li Hongyan felt sorry for her son and rushed to Chen Xiaoying in anger: "Mom, how could you do this?"

Even at this point, she was still secretive.

Wang Jingjing's father couldn't stand it anymore: "Aunt, I already know about the money. The money for Pengfei and my Xiaojing's wedding was borrowed from a loan shark by you, but the signature was written in your father's name, right?"

Li Hongyan turned her face and refused to acknowledge him this time: "What IOU? I don't know."

"Li Hongyan, you beast." Chen Xiaoying was furious and slapped Li Hongyan in the face.

"Grandma!" Zhao Pengfei hurriedly stopped her.

Li Hongyan had learned her lesson from being beaten, and dodged quickly, so she was not hit: "Mom, you are fine now, just go back, why did you go to Pengfei's girlfriend's house? She doesn't even know you well, don't do such a shameful thing."

The more guilty she feels, the higher her moral standards are.

"Li Hongyan, don't you have ears? I have told his uncle all the truth. People know that the money in your hands was borrowed from loan sharks by swindling your own father. People don't want money from such a black-hearted person like you. Do you understand?" Chen Xiaoying stared at Li Hongyan.

Li Hongyan's heart sank, and she looked at Wang Jingjing's father: "This..."

Before he could finish his words, two people came in through the door.

Wang Jingjing's third uncle, not her biological uncle but the son of her grandfather's cousin, could be considered a relative, so he came in and asked, "Why are there so many people? What's going on?"

"Uncle, please sit down." Zhao Pengfei understood and quickly gave up his chair for him to sit on.

As his elder, he deserves to be let go.

His third uncle sat down.

Since the matchmaker had arrived, Wang Jingjing's father didn't want to endure it any longer, and immediately told him everything about how the money for the bride price came from.

His third uncle's eyes widened. They were all ordinary people, but they all knew the dangers of loan sharks. If they borrowed money, they would be stuck in a quagmire and would never be able to get out of it.

Li Hongyan was especially ruthless, as she had her father blamed for the debt. This debt had nothing to do with her, but her father was an old man and could not pay it back, so the debt collectors had to go to her mother's store.

The problem is that her mother's small restaurant can no longer be opened, and she is still thinking of asking her eldest brother's family in the county town to make up for it?

"Big sister, you are confused."

Li Hongyan felt wronged: "His third uncle, my Pengfei is a good boy, he doesn't know anything about this."

Her first reaction was to take all the blame on herself. Her son Zhao Pengfei was a good boy and none of this had anything to do with him. He was innocent.

"Think about it, how much money can a farmer earn in a year? Xiaojing's family needs 5,000 yuan, plus we have to build a house and hold a wedding banquet, everything costs money." She began to complain bitterly.

Wang Jingjing looked annoyed as she listened, but she was a junior and couldn't interrupt.

Her father spoke up: "If you think my family's betrothal gift is too high, you don't have to marry me. We are not forcing you. Your family is poor and it has nothing to do with my family. I can't send the girl I raised to your house for nothing just because you are poor, to bear children for your son and serve your parents-in-law?"

"Aunt, I don't owe your family anything, why should I give my daughter to you for free?"

A girl who is married off is like water spilled on the ground. Not to mention whether she will earn a salary in the future, even if she does, she has to support her own small family. Most of her money will be spent on her own family and on raising other people's children.

What is he, the father who raised her? I guess he had to borrow two hundred yuan and look at his son-in-law's face.

It's a loss to raise a girl, otherwise why girls were called money-losing goods in the past!
