Chapter 8 Marriage is possible, but money is required.
Zhou was forced to crash into the ground with a "thud"!
My back hurts terribly!
"hiss……"
Surprisingly, the hands on my neck slowly lost their strength, as if that was their final burst of power!
With a slight effort, he pushed the person on top of him away!
Looking over with cold eyes, he saw a very small girl staring at him in terror!
"I...I'm sorry!"
Zhou Ye coldly asked, "Who are you?"
"I...I'm called Bai Xue!"
It took the girl about ten minutes to explain herself after she started sobbing.
Bai Xue is fifteen years old and lives a difficult life with her grandmother. However, her grandmother passed away a few days ago. With nowhere else to turn, she wanted to go out and find a way to make money, but she was tricked into coming here by Brother Yue!
I don't know what they were thinking, but they locked her up without touching her at all!
Looking at the scene inside the room, it's clear that Brother Yue is treating Bai Xue quite well. There's a brand-new cotton quilt, snow-white rice, and even a plate of braised beef!
"Can you take me with you? I know you're a good person!" Bai Xue asked nervously.
Zhou Ye was momentarily confused. A good person?
Looking at the girl who was the same age as him, Zhou Ye was actually moved with pity!
"Follow me!"
Bai Xue's eyes widened in surprise, and she readily agreed, "Okay!"
Once they reached a safe place, Zhou also slipped twenty yuan to Bai Xue: "Go home now!"
Bai Xue's eyes immediately welled up with tears as she stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Ye's sleeve: "Sister, don't you want me anymore?"
Zhou Ye sneered, "I'm not a good person. If you follow me, I might sell you out one day!"
Bai Xue blinked, looked at Zhou Ye, and didn't know what to say.
Zhou was furious: "Don't look at me like that, or I'll gouge your eyes out! Get out! If you follow me again, I'll break your legs!"
Bai Xue was startled and quickly pulled her arm back!
She bit her lip: "Thank you, I will repay you!"
Then it ran away very quickly!
Zhou Ye sneered, "See? I'm a demon! I've been reborn to drag each and every one of you back to hell!"
It's getting dark; it's time to go back!
"How's it going? Did you find it?" I ran into Yu Wen at my doorstep.
Zhou shook his head and said, "Auntie, don't worry, maybe my sister went to a friend's house!"
Yu Wen, looking unwell, pushed Zhou Ye's hand away and went inside!
She had considered this possibility before, but never this late!
Zhou followed them inside; everyone was already in the living room.
Zhou Yuanyao offered a few words of comfort, and Yu Wen finally felt a little more at ease!
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Zhou realized that what was bound to happen had finally come!
I'm really... looking forward to it!
Zhou Ye sat calmly in the corner of the sofa, seemingly oblivious to everyone else, watching Zhou Yuanyao's family.
Although Zhou Yuanyao felt something was off, he thought about it and decided it wasn't a big deal.
"Xiao Ye, during your time at your uncle's house, has your uncle treated you well?" Zhou Yuanyao started by appealing to his emotions!
Zhou Ye smiled faintly and said, "Hmm, very good!"
Yu Wen smiled and said, "Since it's true, and you've seen it yourself, your uncle is facing a problem now. Shouldn't you help him?"
Zhou Ye then looked up and looked directly at the group!
My uncle's family is really too greedy. They don't care at all about being seen through. It's true, Zhou Ye was so naive before, otherwise he wouldn't have ended up like that!
"Heh... So, Uncle, how would you like me to help you?"
Looking at Zhou Ye's pretty face, Zhou Zijiao couldn't hold back any longer!
"It's not really a favor, it's just that my dad is having some trouble at work right now, you know, he's been suspended!"
But now there's a really great opportunity. Your father's boss, the Song family, you know!
Their family has their eye on you!
Seeing Zhou Zijiao's eagerness, Zhou also frowned in confusion: "But... isn't the Song family's son an idiot?"
Zhou Zijiao choked for a moment, then said with dissatisfaction, "So what if you're a fool? Don't forget, you're still living under someone else's roof. How are you any different from an orphan?"
Besides, the Song family is powerful and influential. If you marry into their family, you'll enjoy endless blessings!
That way, Dad can go back to work! Isn't that the best of both worlds?
Zhou Ye's smile vanished...
Seeing this, Yu Wen was afraid of ruining the good thing, so he glared at Zhou Zijiao and said, "You child, how can you talk to your sister like that!"
What orphan?
Since your sister is staying at our house, she's part of our family! Apologize to your sister!
Zhou Zijiao: "Hmph!"
Yu Wen then said embarrassedly, "Xiao Ye, I'm sorry! Your sister is too straightforward and doesn't know how to speak properly!"
You know she meant well!
Zhou laughed. Kindness? If I offered you this kind of kindness, would you accept it?
Zhou Zijun had long since lost her temper. Seeing her family members still speaking to Zhou Ye in such a humble manner, she was furious!
Without any powerful backers, is it really necessary to go to such lengths?
So he stood up and said, disregarding everything else, "Zhou Ye, enough with the nonsense. My parents are kind and compassionate, so don't be ungrateful!"
I apologized to you? Who do you think you are?
Your parents are nowhere to be found, so what are you trying to prove?
I think it's because I've been too good to you!
It's an honor for you that my dad needs you today. If my parents hadn't taken you in, do you think you'd still be alive?
"That fool, you have to marry him whether you like it or not!"
After Zhou Zijun finished speaking, the room fell silent...
See...why not just state your needs directly? Why go around in circles? Now that you've done this, I'm actually starting to like you a bit, older brother!
How straightforward! How adorable!
"Kindness? Zhou Zijun, in this world, the soil is the kindest, because it allows people to trample on it!"
Are your parents willing?
When Zhou Ye said those words with a smile, the Zhou family was stunned!
This is... Zhou Ye?
"What...what did you call me?"
Zhou Zijun didn't react for a moment!
Yes, after hearing so many nice words, she really thinks she's something special!
Zhou patted the dust off his legs, which wasn't actually there, and changed his sitting posture!
She leaned back even more lazily on the sofa...
"You want me to marry a fool? Fine, then give me the money!"
Zhou also extended his hand!
Zhou Yuanyao was stunned for a moment, thinking that Zhou Ye was too sad, and breathed a sigh of relief: "You child, you scared your uncle!"
You definitely have a dowry!
Since you're willing to marry me, everything is negotiable! I'll give you a dowry of 500 yuan, which is quite a first!
You don't need to thank your uncle too much; the Song family is a good family!
So, I'd exchange my entire life for your family's peace and happiness, and I should thank you? What a shameless jerk!
"Heh... Uncle, isn't five hundred yuan too little? That's a fool! Everyone knows that you care about your niece, Uncle."
How are you going to explain marrying a mentally challenged man to everyone?
They said it was my own choice?
Who would believe that?
When my uncle gets his job back, and I happen to marry my boss's mentally challenged son, everyone will say my uncle got ahead by selling his niece! Tsk…
Is my uncle's lifelong reputation going to be ruined? Who came up with this idea? Isn't this a spy sent by the enemy?
Everyone looked at Zhou Zijiao.
Zhou Zijiao was completely flustered: "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm only thinking about Dad. Besides, you're greedy for wealth and want to marry a fool, is that not allowed?"
Zhou Yuanyao was initially conflicted, but now he realized that his daughter's words made perfect sense!
"Yes, Xiao Ye, of course your uncle knows that you've been wronged, but who can blame him but the Song family for taking a liking to you!"
Why……
My uncle is in a difficult position too!
Don't worry, once you marry into the Song family, your uncle will make sure they treat you well! They only have one son.
You'll be living a life of luxury if you marry into that family!
Yu Wen also smiled and comforted him, "Yes, Xiao Ye, your aunt knows you've been wronged! With your looks, you can definitely find someone better!"
But for women, when it comes to marriage, family background is still a factor!
"With power and influence, life is easier! We're doing this for your own good!"
Zhou nodded seriously: "That's true, what you said makes a lot of sense, but haven't you thought about this?"
I might harbor resentment towards you all, and if I marry into the Song family, I might just back out!
What will my uncle do then?
I am the daughter-in-law of the Song family. Do you think my uncle can take me back?
After all, I'm just my uncle's niece; we're not that closely related!
Zhou Yuanyao was taken aback: "What do you mean?"
"What you mean is, instead of marrying me off, why not let my sister marry me off? My sister is your own daughter, she'll definitely be very filial!"
Even if I marry a mentally challenged man, I would still be willing to sacrifice everything for your work!
But I'm different; you're just my uncle!
Zhou Yuanyao looked at Zhou Zijiao.
"No, I don't want to marry a fool! Dad, don't listen to Zhou Ye's nonsense, she's a vixen!"
She's stirring up trouble!
But she knew her father best; for the sake of profit, he might really be willing to sacrifice himself...
Yu Wen also grew anxious: "Old Zhou..."
Zhou Yuanyao then realized what was happening, glaring angrily at Zhou Ye, almost having overheard her! That brat…
That's really creepy!
How many do you want?
