When Ye Li returned, the neighbors immediately surrounded her and asked her:
"Ye Li, are you telling the truth?"
"You want to marry that disabled soldier without a penny of dowry? Are you crazy? Why are you so desperate?"
Ye Li blinked: "I think he is pretty good."
Zhuang Shihong was working in the house. When he heard Ye Li talking outside, he called Ye Chunwang: "Go, bring your sister in."
Ye Chunwang pushed open the door, and without thinking twice, he grabbed Ye Li and walked into the house: "Go back to the house, mom is calling you."
"Stop pulling and tugging." Ye Li scolded.
Ye Chunwang ignored all this and dragged her into the house, then slammed the door with a loud bang.
"Sister, what do you think? Why don't you want a betrothal gift? If you don't want it, I still want it!"
...
...
Ye Li glanced at him and said coldly: "What do you want for my wedding gift?"
"Shut up!" Seeing Ye Li's abnormal attitude today, Zhuang Shihong stood up and walked to her side, staring at her face for a long time, "Are you crazy? I raised you up, and you dare to talk back to me! What do you mean by selling my daughter? Explain it to me clearly!"
In the past, Ye Li would have kept silent and let Zhuang Shihong scold him to his heart's content.
But she was reborn, and she wanted to live for herself and would never put up with this bullshit again.
"That's not selling. When you introduce someone to me, you never care about their appearance or character. You only look at the price they offer!" She had been holding this in for her entire life in her previous life, and in this life, she could finally say it without any scruples.
"Rebellion! Rebellion!" Zhuang Shihong was so angry that he kept scolding, "Ye Li, you have grown up and become independent, right? You actually dared to talk back to your mother!"
"Mom, please calm down." Ye Chunwang hurriedly helped Zhuang Shihong to sit down, turned around and scolded Ye Li.
"Sister, are you stupid? Did a donkey kick your brain? How dare you talk back to our mother? We asked you to ask for a dowry for the good of the family. What? You can't wait to get married? How can you be so despicable that you throw yourself on a man as soon as you see him?" Ye Chunwang had a foul mouth and never showed mercy when he scolded Ye Li.
The Ye family has three children, and Ye Li is the eldest.
Her father died early when she was young, so her mother Zhuang Shihong married Ye Jinshan, a worker at the thermos factory, when she was only five years old. Later, they gave birth to a son and a daughter.
Ye Chunwang is the third child in the family. He is Ye Li's half-brother and the apple of Zhuang Shihong's eye.
Normally, he was disrespectful to Ye Li, and Ye Li always gave in to him.
I didn't want to make my mother angry, but I also didn't want to make him unhappy.
But now that she is reborn, she will not indulge Ye Chunwang's bad habits.
Hearing his curse so harshly, Ye Li raised his hand and slapped him: "Say it again!!"
Ye Chunwang really didn't expect Ye Li to slap him. He glared at Ye Li angrily: "You dare to hit me!!! What's wrong with me saying it again? Ye Li, you bitch, you want to throw yourself at a man whenever you see him!!"
Ye Li's eyes sparked with two small flames. He rolled up his sleeves and slapped him twice: "Ye Chunwang, keep your mouth shut! I'm your sister, you better respect me!"
"Mom!" Ye Chunwang roared, "I'm going to beat her today, don't stop me!"
After saying that, he actually picked up a stool and smashed it at Ye Li.
Ye Li raised his right hand and grasped Ye Chunwang's wrist tightly, then snatched the stool away with his left hand and smashed it to the ground with a bang.
The stool was not solid to begin with, and it fell apart instantly after being hit.
Looking at the damaged stool, Zhuang Shihong felt heartbroken and pointed at Ye Li and cursed: "You prodigal son! You smashed a good stool into pieces!"
"That was Ye Chunwang who was going to hit me! If I didn't hit the stool first, the stool would have hit me!" Ye Li said quickly.
"Ye Li, we are not done yet..." Ye Chunwang suffered a loss, and he felt uncomfortable if he didn't make up for it.
He always bullied Ye Li in the past, but today Ye Li was bullying him. How could he swallow this?
"Try to touch me again." Ye Li looked at him coldly, "I used to let you do what you want, but from now on I won't care about your bad habits."
"Oh, you should have done this a long time ago." Er Mengzi was peeking through the window in the yard. When he heard Ye Li say this, he smiled and added fuel to the fire. "Your brother is such a piece of shit. Aunt Zhuang is partial to him. If you weren't tough, they would have eaten you up."
"Shut up your stinking hole! What the hell do you have to do with my family's affairs? Why are you meddling in other people's business?"
Er Mengzi chuckled: "If I were the dog, your family would be the rats... not much better."
"You f*cking want to die!" Ye Chunwang was furious and was about to rush out to fight with Er Mengzi.
Zhuang Shihong picked up the broom in the house, kicked the door open, and chased Er Mengzi to beat him: "I told you to have a foul mouth! You shit-eating thing, staring at my house all day long! I'll beat you to death!"
Things were getting pretty chaotic here when Ye Jinshan came back, and with him came his second daughter, Ye Mei.
"Why are they fighting again!" He was used to this situation.
Er Mengzi is the most despicable one. His wife has a bad temper and is a powder keg that can explode at any time.
"Mom, stop hitting me!" Ye Mei stepped forward and snatched the broom away. "I'm starving. Let's eat quickly."
"What to eat? I didn't even cook." Zhuang Shihong looked gloomy and glanced at his second daughter Ye Mei. "How is your work going?"
Ye Mei drooped her face and said dejectedly, "Do you even need to ask this? State-owned large factories require high school graduates, and I haven't even finished junior high school... They definitely can't hire me. Mom, how about letting me take over your job?"
Zhuang Shihong glared at her fiercely: "What the hell are you thinking?"
My daughter will get married sooner or later, so if I give her the job, wouldn't it just be a benefit to the son-in-law and his family, who are outsiders?
Don’t even think about it!
"Hmph." Ye Mei stamped her feet unhappily and turned to go into the house.
"Look at you...if you don't want to give it to me, then don't give it to me. Why do you say it so harshly?" Ye Jinshan complained.
"You don't think about how to honor me every day, but just want to steal something from me." Zhuang Shihong snorted twice, turned to Ye Jinshan and said, "Go to the house and rest for a while, and we'll have dinner later."
"Hey, how's Ye Li's marriage going?" Ye Jinshan remembered that his eldest daughter was going to a blind date today, so he asked casually.
"This damn girl is out of her mind!" Zhuang Shihong was furious, "She actually said she doesn't want a dowry!"
"How could this happen?" Ye Jinshan asked in surprise.
"I just liked that guy because he had a good-looking face. He was a veteran and had a job..."
The old couple walked into the house while talking and saw Ye Li squatting on the ground tidying up the stools.
Zhuang Shihong was still angry and looked at her with displeasure. She said, "Go, cook!"
Ye Li stood up and patted the dirt off his hands: "You all don't have work today, you can do it yourselves. I have to rush back to the factory to return the car I borrowed from my colleague. I won't eat lunch at home, I'll eat at the factory."
After saying that, Ye Li turned and left.
"Hey, come back here!" Zhuang Shihong shouted twice. Seeing that Ye Li didn't respond to her, she chased after him, "You've become so capable! If you don't eat at home at noon, don't eat at night if you have the guts! Don't eat every day from now on!"
Ye Li curled her lips, and soon she would not eat at this house anymore!!
