Seeing Ye Lan crying with tears streaming down her face, Ye Zhiguo's heart softened again. He couldn't bear to see her being sent to the fire pit and wanted to say a few words to the old lady. But before he could even open his mouth, Ye Qingqing interrupted him.
"Ye Lan, what kind of daughter are you? Your real father is someone your promiscuous mother doesn't even know. Who would know which old bastard gave birth to you!"
Ye Zhiguo felt a pang in his heart. The anger at being betrayed by Shen Yanhong made him suspicious of Ye Lan again. His eyes changed, and his previous soft heart gradually dissipated, slowly hardening.
"No, Dad, I'm your daughter..."
Ye Lan pleaded desperately, clutching Ye Zhiguo's leg tightly.
"Bullshit! Our Ye family has no slut like you!"
The old lady tried to pull the struggling Ye Lan away, wanting to drag her into the house and lock her up, but Ye Lan was desperate and the old lady couldn't do anything to her for a while. Ye Qingqing went over to help and tapped Ye Lan's soft spot. Ye Lan immediately went limp and couldn't muster any strength.
"No... Daddy... don't lock me up..."
Ye Lan screamed in terror, but Ye Zhiguo's indifference chilled her heart little by little, plunging her into despair.
The old lady locked Ye Lan in the storage room on the third floor and put on a big padlock. She planned to find a buyer tomorrow. Of course, she wouldn't really listen to Ye Qingqing and sell Ye Lan to the mountains to be a shared wife. There are plenty of widowers in Pingjiang City whose wives have died. Widowers have money and can afford to pay the bride price!
Ye Zhiguo thought for a long time and still felt that the old lady was being a bit rash. "Mother, Lan'er and Lu Qingquan are engaged. A woman cannot marry twice. How will you explain to Lu Qingquan if you marry Lan'er off to someone else?"
The old lady then remembered that half a life belonged to someone, and hesitated.
Ye Qingqing sneered: "What's there to explain? Lu Qingquan only paid half of the bride price, and Ye Lan has been sleeping with Lu Qingquan every day this month. The five thousand yuan bride price has already been returned!"
The old woman's expression changed drastically, and she demanded, "Half-Life slept with that rotten asshole?"
"Yeah, everyone at the hotel knows. They're saying that Half-Life and Rotten Eyes sleep together every day without ever trying to hide it from people."
"I knew this little slut was even more wanton than her mother. We should marry her off as soon as possible; they've brought shame to the Ye family!"
The old lady cursed incessantly, determined to find a suitable widower tomorrow. As for Lu Qingquan, the old lady shared the same thought as Ye Qingqing: Ye Lan was, after all, a virgin, and the debt of sleeping with him for a month had already been settled!
The old lady was extremely efficient and found a suitable candidate in just one day. The fifty-year-old man's wife had died more than ten years ago, and his children were all married. The old man was financially well-off and wanted to find a younger partner. When he heard that Ye Lan was a young girl who would only turn twenty in a few months, younger than his daughter, he was naturally very satisfied.
The old widower decided to offer a dowry of six thousand yuan, as long as Ye Lan could come to him as soon as possible. There was no rush to get the marriage certificate; they could get it when she reached the legal age. Even a fool could see what the old widower was up to.
The old lady didn't care what the old widower wanted; she just wanted money. However, the old widower wasn't so easily fooled and asked to meet Ye Lan first. The old lady took the old widower, who was even older than Ye Zhiguo, home to interview Ye Lan.
Looking at the old widower with his big yellow teeth, Ye Lan felt disgusted and wanted to vomit. She would rather die than marry an old man!
The old widower was barely satisfied with Ye Lan. On the grounds that Ye Lan was too thin, he lowered the bride price to five thousand yuan. The old lady readily agreed and immediately arranged for the old widower to come to her house to pick her up in three days.
