When Fu Jin mentioned Xu Yanping to his mother before, his mother had always looked down on her. Now that this had happened, she scolded Xu Yanping's entire family.
He has his eyes on their family's property and wants to take their wealth!
However, Fu Jin had to write a letter of guarantee, so the marriage had to take place. However, agreeing to get married was one thing, but how to get married was another.
So, Fu's mother held her anger and deliberately procrastinated on the agreed day, arriving almost at noon without bringing anything with her. It was their fault for wanting to take advantage of her family.
As soon as Fu's mother said this, the Xu family members changed their expressions, while Fu Jin sat aside with his head lowered and said nothing as usual.
Anger flashed across Xu's mother's face, but she quickly suppressed it. She knew that Fu's mother was venting her dissatisfaction.
She sneered and said quietly, "My in-laws, what you said is a bit biased. It's clearly a matter of mutual consent between the two children, so why did it become a hassle for my family?
"After all, it's my daughter who's at a disadvantage in this matter. Could it be that my daughter deliberately ruined her own reputation in order to marry your son? Besides, if your son forced her to do something, how could my daughter, a girl, resist?"
Mother Xu's cloudy old eyes locked onto Mother Fu's. "I called you in-laws because I didn't want to lose face for both families. Do you really think my family wants to coax you?"
Xu's mother is not an easy person to deal with, otherwise she would not have raised a daughter like Xu Yanping.
Fu's mother originally wanted to trick them, but unexpectedly, Xu's mother blocked it with a little effort, and she even ridiculed Fu Jin for taking the initiative.
Fu's mother's eyes fell on Xu Yanping, who was pretending to be submissive, and she was even more furious: "Humph, with someone like her, I wouldn't even want her if she was given to my family!"
"Aunt, you..."
"How can you talk like that!"
"Bullshit!"
Xu's mother, eldest brother Xu, and Xu Yanping spoke at the same time. Except for Xu Yanping, the other members of the Xu family stared at Fu Jin and his mother as if they wanted to eat them.
Xu Yanping turned to Fu Jin, tears welling in her eyes: "Fu Jin, look..."
Fu Jin was also feeling annoyed. He used to think Xu Yanping was quite pretty and could coax him, but now he just felt annoyed and disgusted.
He didn't want to get entangled with the Xu family any more, so he said, "Now that we're here, just return the certificate to me."
Brother Xu snorted coldly, "Fu Jin, what did you say back then? We agreed to come and propose marriage, and you and your mother are here to pick a fight?"
Xu Xiaodi also said: "If you want a letter of guarantee, marry my sister into the Fu family first!"
Xu's mother played the good cop and said, "In that case, let's talk about the marriage directly. When we are halfway through, I will return the guarantee letter to you."
Fu's mother wanted to say more, but Fu Jin winked at her and said, "Forget it, Mom. I won't argue with them anymore."
He admitted defeat this time, but he didn't think that he would be at the mercy of Xu Yanping for the rest of his life. After marrying her home, he would have plenty of ways to deal with her.
Xu Yanping thought Fu Jin was willing to marry her, and she was so happy that the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.
Seeing this, Fu's mother had no choice but to say, "Since that's the case, I will make two requests.
1. No wedding ceremony, just getting the marriage certificate is considered marriage.
Second, my family only contributed twenty yuan, nothing else.
If you agree, the wedding will be in April. If you don't agree, forget it. The worst that can happen is that both sides will be destroyed."
Fu's mother's words left the Xu family stunned for a moment. Why was it different from what they thought?
Didn't they let Xu Yanping marry into the Fu family just for the Fu family's money? They were counting on the Fu family's money to help Xu Xiaodi get married, but now all their hopes are ruined.
Xu's mother was the first to react and said, "My dear relatives, I'm afraid my family can't agree to either of the two requests you mentioned.
First, you said we only want to get a marriage certificate but not hold a wedding. Then when my daughter gets married, won’t anyone know about it and she won’t even have a reputation?
Second, although marriages don't require a lot of gifts these days, isn't your family's contribution of only twenty yuan a bit too much? If someone doesn't know, they might think you're being too stingy."
Listening to what Xu's mother said, Fu's mother still didn't change her mind at all: "Anyway, our family has these conditions. If she doesn't marry, it's your family's business, not that we don't want to marry her."
The Xu family thought Fu's mother doted on Fu Jin, and with Fu Jin's letter of guarantee, the Fu family would obey. They never expected this would be the result. If she had married the pork seller at the corner of the alley, he would have given her a 200 yuan betrothal gift.
But if they give up like this, they really can't bear to do so, after all, their girl has actually been taken to bed.
After thinking it over again and again, Xu's mother's eyes darkened. She planned to force the Fu family to pay a sum of money and then cancel the marriage, but Xu Yanping held her hand back.
Xu Yanping looked at her pleadingly and said, "Mom, we just agree." She whispered, "As long as I marry into the Fu family, the Fu family property will be mine sooner or later. Are you still worried that you won't be able to get it?"
She had seen the pork seller at the corner of the alley before. He was fat and had big ears, and he always wore a blood-stained apron around his waist. She felt sick just by looking at him, and she would never marry such a man even if she was beaten to death!
If this had been said in the past, Xu's mother would have believed it. But after meeting Fu's mother today, she knew that she was not an easy person to deal with. Who knew if Xu Yanping would be controlled by Fu's mother after she got married?
As the saying goes, a daughter who is married off is like spilled water. Xu Yanping had her own ideas when she was at her parents' home. Can she still control them in the future?
Seeing Xu's mother hesitate, Xu Yanping gritted her teeth and said, "Mom, I've saved some money over the years. If the Fu family doesn't give me the betrothal gift, I can give the money to my younger brother to get married. Is that okay?"
Hearing Xu Yanping's words, Xu's mother gave up and nodded reluctantly, saying, "Okay, I'll do as you say. Don't regret it in the future."
