Chapter 9 Turning Against Each Other Without Mercy
Zhou Ye looked calmly at Zhou Yuanyao and held up five fingers!
Zhou Yuanyao frowned. He had just said five hundred, but now it was definitely not five hundred, it was five thousand.
Ha...this little girl is really greedy!
"fifty thousand!"
Zhou Ye spoke calmly.
Zhou Yuanyao nearly choked on his own saliva! Fifty thousand? Why not just rob someone?
"Xiao Ye, you've been at your uncle's house for so long, haven't we done anything wrong to you? You're asking for 50,000 right off the bat, isn't that extortion?"
Zhou Yuanyao has started using moral blackmail!
"Apologize to me? Who knows! Uncle, think about it, maybe you really have done something to wrong me?"
Zhou stared intently at his uncle.
A guilty look flashed in Zhou Yuanyao's eyes, and he covered it up with a cough, saying, "Cough cough... Why are you being so unreasonable today?"
My uncle just had your sister buy you new clothes, and you're already telling me all this nonsense!
This is so heartbreaking!
Yes, it's a bit much to make you marry a fool!
But your uncle has been so good to you, what's wrong with you making a sacrifice for him?
"It's really because your older sister and younger sister are so inconsiderate; otherwise, how could your uncle bear to let you go on such a trip?"
Zhou looked at his uncle with a mocking expression.
Is this a case of trying one plan after another when the first one fails?
Playing the emotional card? Brainwashing?
Oh……
"I am your uncle, I would never harm you! The Song family is my superior, they hold the lifeline of our Zhou family in their hands!"
They're rich and powerful, and they only have one son. If you marry into the Song family, the Song family will be yours sooner or later!
Your uncle is doing this for your own good!
You said you have no family to support you, and your uncle is only thinking about your future! Once you marry into the Song family, your uncle's job will be reinstated, and he will be your support!
Your sister is arrogant and doesn't know how to talk!
Offending the Song family means the end of everything! Forget about work, you might even have to go to the countryside! Your sister is young and not as pretty as you!
So your uncle can only rely on you now!
"Xiao Ye, think about it, if your uncle really loses his job, how will he help your grandparents and parents in the countryside?"
Don't you think about your uncle, or your parents?
Zhou Ye looked at Zhou Yuanyao, thinking, "What a good show, huh..."
Yu Wen sighed and said, "Yes, Xiao Ye, your aunt knows you are a good child and will definitely agree to this marriage for your uncle's sake!"
Besides, there are advantages to being a fool!
After we get married, won't you be the one making the decisions?
"fifty thousand!"
Zhou didn't waste any words, still 50,000!
Zhou Zijiao was talking nonsense in her anger: "Zhou Ye, don't be so shameless. What kind of person do you think you can marry with your pretty face?"
Zhou Ye's face? Ha... She really managed to find a good family!
It's just that he's too young, and many families are waiting for him!
Only beasts like the Zhou family would covet such a thing!
"Heh... Sister, you're saying such harsh things because you think I'm asking for too little. Well then... sixty thousand!"
Zhou Zijun also stood up angrily, pointing at Zhou Ye as if she wanted to curse...
"Seventy thousand?"
Zhou Ye spoke up again...
"Don't say a word!"
Zhou Yuanyao shouted!
Looking at Zhou Ye with disappointment, she said, "Xiao Ye, do you really want to be so distant from your uncle?"
"Does my uncle really want to marry me off to a fool?"
Zhou also sneered!
Zhou Yuanyao and Yu Wen exchanged a glance, seemingly sensing that something was amiss.
"Xiao Ye, you weren't like this before, what's wrong with you today?"
Zhou Ye laughed and said, "What's wrong? Was I disobedient today? Hmm?"
Zhou Yuanyao frowned: "Have you heard something? Or are the neighbors just making things up? Your parents left you with us, but they didn't leave you a single penny!"
It's also very hard for us to take care of you!
If you agree to do what I asked for today, consider it as repaying a debt of gratitude!
Your uncle won't ask you for anything anymore!
Zhou Ye stood up, slowly walked to his uncle's side, tilted his head and calmly said, "Uncle, how can you be so shameless?"
Did my parents really leave nothing behind?
Looking at Zhou Yuanyao's ugly face: "You take care of me? Shouldn't I be taking care of your whole family?"
Tsk... what a bunch of snakes and rats, shameless to the extreme!
The Zhou family stared at Zhou Ye in shock!
Zhou Ye looked at everyone and asked curiously, "Why are you all staring at me like that? Are you angry? Then... will you kill me?"
It's not like we haven't killed before!
Zhou Zijiao pursed her lips: "You...you're not sick, are you?"
Yu Wen asked warily, "Zhou Ye, is this the real you?"
Zhou Zijun wanted to curse, but a chill ran down her spine, and she suddenly didn't dare!
Zhou Yuanyao didn't care. It must be because of the decision he made earlier that Zhou Ye got angry. What big waves could a little girl make?
"Alright, that's enough! Zhou Ye, go back to your room and get some sleep! We can talk about the wedding later!"
"Sure thing, Uncle. But remember one thing: when a woman marries, she pays money, and then they're even! I'm not easily fooled!"
Zhou waved his hand and walked away lazily.
Zhou Yuanyao frowned, watching Zhou Ye's retreating figure!
Until the person disappeared...
The group huddled together in the study, discussing in hushed tones...
"Mom, what should we do? Dad can't wait for his work, and Zhou won't agree. Is there any other way?"
Zhou Zijun asked worriedly.
If my father loses his job, my marriage will definitely be in trouble!
I'd rather die than marry a woman with no background!
"Yes, Mom and Dad, that little bitch Zhou Ye dared to ask for such an exorbitant amount! Is she even worth that much money?"
Does she really think her parents left us money? Fifty thousand? If her parents left us fifty thousand, our whole family would treat her like a grandmother!
"They're not some heartless bastard! Why would we hold them back?" Zhou Zijiao complained, dissatisfied.
Upon hearing this, a complex emotion flashed in Zhou Yuanyao's eyes.
Yu Wen also looked embarrassed!
"She wouldn't dare!" Zhou Yuanyao said confidently!
"Don't worry, if she still doesn't agree tomorrow, we'll think of another way! Knowing her personality, she'll compromise for my sake no matter how dissatisfied she is!"
Yu Wen, however, did not feel that way.
She had a vague feeling that Zhou had changed!
The next morning, Zhou, as usual, prepared breakfast and started eating eggs by himself!
The Zhou family members were surprised to see this scene. Yu Wen frowned and said, "Xiao Ye, why did you eat first? No manners!"
"Oh……"
Their response was a cold laugh.
The Zhou family members looked at each other in bewilderment...
Just as they were about to sit down to eat, Zhou Ye suddenly said, "I bought the ingredients, and I cooked the meal! If you want to eat... pay!"
Zhou Zijiao: "Are you crazy? This is my house!"
Zhou Ye didn't even look up, and said earnestly, word by word, "This is my home!"
Yu Wen suppressed his anger and said, "Xiao Ye, don't cause trouble. We were looking for your sister today and she hasn't come back all night. Are you still arguing about a dollar or two?"
Zhou Zijun said with dissatisfaction, "That's right, what can you do with this money for breakfast?"
Zhou remained silent for a long time, and everyone assumed she was just being impulsive...
Just as I was about to sit down...
"One dollar can buy a pair of scissors, enough to stab your whole family to death!"
A simple, understated sentence, like a small stone thrown into the ocean, has stirred up a stormy sea!
"you……"
Zhou Ye slowly raised his head and looked at the Zhou family!
"Are you prepared with the money? I'm ready to marry a fool!"
