Sun Meiying spoke every word clearly, and not only her parents but even Liu the matchmaker was shocked.
How did such a good marriage turn into a severance of relationship?
This is definitely a huge stain on her career as a matchmaker. No, no!
She quickly stepped forward and held Sun Meiying's hand: "Oh my, little girl, you are still a child even after getting married? How can you break the relationship between a mother who gave birth to you and a father who raised you?
Listen to my advice, let's have a good talk with your parents. Okay?"
She quickly ran to Sun Meiying's mother and shouted, "Old sister, what you did today was really unfair. If you had told us a few days earlier, we would have been prepared, right?
Look at what’s happening now. People from several villages outside are watching the joke!
Let's let the young couple go out happily today, what do you think?"
Several uncles and aunts from Old Sun's family in the room also spoke up: "Yes, Old Sun, let the child go out first. It would be bad if he missed the auspicious time!"
"Yeah, can we talk about it later?"
However, Sun Meiying's mother didn't take anyone's words to heart!
She only remembered her son holding the girl's hand and saying, "Taohua is pregnant with my child. Their family now wants a betrothal gift of 100 yuan, and one ring and one ring! Otherwise, not only will you lose your eldest grandson, but even your son."
In this day and age, getting pregnant before marriage is considered a hooliganism. If this girl's family files a complaint, her precious son will be imprisoned for several years.
She looked so determined and heartless that everyone was speechless.
Sun Meiying's father was not a very useful person either. He just squatted in the corner, smoking his pipe without saying a word!
"You must pay another twenty dollars as a betrothal gift today, and the sewing machine you gave me as a gift must also stay at home."
Sun Meiying's mother's firm words completely cut off Sun Meiying's last thought about this family.
Originally all the betrothal money was kept, so that the girl could not hold her head up high in her husband's family.
If this big piece of wedding attire is left behind, the girl will be completely suppressed by her husband's family.
Sun Meiying knelt down in front of her mother and said, "Mom, I will no longer be involved in the affairs of the Sun family, and you should not accuse me of being unfilial. Your brothers will take care of you in the future!"
With trembling hands she fished out a crumpled twenty dollars from her pocket and placed it on the table.
This was the money her father secretly gave her yesterday as a small gift. Her father gave her ten yuan, and the remaining ten yuan was earned by her from making quilt covers and sewing various things for the educated youth.
Little did she know that Sun Meiying's mother glared at her, grabbed the money on the table, and yelled, "Okay, you little bitch, you dare to hide the private money!
This money is your gift to me. Lu Chuan needs to pay another 20 yuan as a betrothal gift!"
At this time, Lu Chuan could no longer bear it. He ignored Liu the matchmaker's obstruction and grabbed Sun Meiying to protect him behind him.
"In the past twenty years, my father has always said that there are many people who cannot survive by selling their children. I never believed it before, but now I have seen it with my own eyes!
The three or four working people in your family can't afford to make a living, right? Yet you are exploiting your own daughter here!
I tell you, don’t say Meiying has severed ties with you. As long as anyone from your Sun family goes to our Dahe Village, I will drive you out with a stick! "
When he mentioned the Sun family, he included all the uncles, aunts and uncles present.
"My nephew, Meiying's mother is a nobody and has nothing to do with us!"
"That's right. My family has already arranged a marriage with a family in your village."
Dahe Village has been an advanced brigade every year. Who wouldn’t want to marry someone from their village?
After all, Lu Chuan was trained by Captain Lu as his successor, and he also has some say in the village!
If they beat them all out, how will their boys and girls get married?
Lu Chuan had a fierce face and glared at the people in the room!
Matchmaker Liu quickly came out to smooth things over: "Old sister, the money has been given, let's go out happily!
Don’t you think so? We are all related to each other in these villages. Maybe we can even go to the captain’s house to have a drink at his wedding!”
Everyone tried to persuade her, but Sun Meiying's mother remained silent and refused to give in.
Sun Meiying murmured softly, feeling hopeless: "Mom, do you really have to force me to death before you stop?"
Her voice was not loud, but it made the room suddenly quiet.
Sun Meiying's appearance frightened everyone even more. At this moment, Sun Meiying's father slammed his cigarette holder hard.
Spit flew everywhere: "Alright, alright, let's go!"
"No, Lu Chuan must be allowed..."
"That's enough! I said enough! Isn't that embarrassing enough? Huh?"
Old Sun angrily kicked the small stool at his feet away, and the stool hit the door heavily with a clanging sound.
Everyone was shocked.
Sun Meiying's mother also shrank back in shock. She had been married to Old Sun for so many years, and she had always been the one to say whatever he said. How could she have ever seen him lose his temper like that?
Everyone, including Old Sun’s family, knew that Old Sun was usually a wimp. When this honest man suddenly got angry, it really scared everyone.
Matchmaker Liu waved her handkerchief and patted her chest.
He smiled and said, "Okay, okay, it's a great day, let's arrange for the girl to go out!"
This time, Sun Meiying's mother did not refute, but sat there without saying a word.
Old Sun panted heavily and waved his hand tiredly: "Let's go, let's go!"
"Ah, ah, ah! The bride is going out!"
Matchmaker Liu called out three times in a row, and Sun Meiying kowtowed three times to her father.
Lu Chuan also kowtowed three times in the same manner, and the two of them walked out of the slightly dim room hand in hand.
The sounds of gongs and drums at the door rang out again, and Lu Chuan drove Sun Meiying away from the home that had oppressed her for twenty years.
