Yun Xiaoqin hadn't expected Yun Baoquan to be so ruthless. She glared at him hatefully, pointing at him and yelling, "Yun Baoquan, are you crazy? How could you even think of something like this..."
Yun Baoquan's words were exactly what Liu Sixi wanted to hear, and she immediately nodded, "Your older brother is right. Now it depends on the Yan family. Do they want the shop or the child? If they want the shop, the child will be given to someone else."
As she spoke, Liu Sixi laughed heartily, looking quite smug, as if she could truly control the Yan family.
Everyone felt utterly disgusted with Liu Sixi, especially Wu Chunlan. If it weren't for the fact that Yun Xiaoqin was quite decent, she would have broken off the engagement.
She was very open-minded about the children's affairs. No matter who her son married, she could still have grandchildren. It was just that she had to deal with such a family member as her in-laws, which was truly unbearable.
Yan Qiuting, standing to the side, could no longer bear it, but he was also worried that if he said something too harsh, it would hurt Yun Xiaoqin.
Just then, Yun Xiaoqin stepped forward. She looked at Liu Sixi and the others with a cold face and said, word by word, "Fine, since that's how it is, then so be it. I won't marry Yan Qiuting, and I won't work here anymore. I'll go back with you."
When she said this, everyone was startled; this was not a good idea.
But then, Yun Xiaoqin raised her hand, signaling everyone to calm down. Then she looked at Liu Sixi and continued, "But let me tell you, don't expect to exchange me for money. As soon as I get back, I'll take a megaphone to our threshing ground and shout to everyone that I'm pregnant. If anyone doesn't mind helping me raise the child, that's fine too."
"But let me tell you this: if no one wants me, you will be responsible for my child and me in the future."
At this point, she glanced at her stomach and deliberately put her hand on her lower back, pretending to be a little weak. "I'm not in good health, so I definitely won't have an abortion. I'm definitely going to give birth to the child. And during my pregnancy, I can't work. I have to stay home and rest. You all have to take care of me."
At this point, Liu Sixi's expression changed slightly.
Seeing this, Yun Xiaoqin continued, "That's not all. After the child is born, you will not only have to support me, but also the child. And when the child grows up, you will have to take care of everything, from food and clothing to education."
Yun Xiaoqin even pointed at Liu Sixi and Yun Baoquan with a look of desperation, saying, "If you dare to secretly marry me off, I'll buy a bag of rat poison and put it in your food one day, and we'll all die together. Anyway, if I don't have a good life, you won't live either."
Yun Xiaoqin was incredibly ruthless, scaring Liu Sixi so much that he took several steps back before shouting, "You... Yun Xiaoqin, you're not human! We are your biological parents!"
Yun Xiaoqin shook her head sarcastically, "So you know that your biological parents are like you?"
"Have I been bad to you? Since I started working in Kyoto, how much money have I sent back home? Don't you know?"
Liu Sixi felt guilty. Ever since Yun Xiaoqin started working in Kyoto, she had indeed been sending money home every month on time. Their family's life had improved a lot in the past six months. They had gone from being a poor family to one of the wealthier families in the village. Many people in the village envied her for having such a good daughter.
Then, Yun Xiaoqin countered, "Wasn't the bride price given by the Yan family enough?"
"Let alone in our rural area, even in Kyoto, this kind of dowry is quite generous. But what's with your attitude? You seem to want to kill me so you can get some money in return."
“Parents like this…” Yun Xiaoqin shook her head in despair, “I really suspect that I am not your biological child, but someone you picked up.”
After saying that, Liu Sixi fell silent. She felt a little guilty, but she still refused to give in. She really wanted to stay in Kyoto and become a Kyoto resident.
Yun Xiaoqin didn't care what they thought anymore and went all out. She held up two fingers and pointed at Liu Sixi and the others, "In short, two choices."
"Your first choice is either to accept the betrothal gifts from the Yan family and go home immediately. Your purpose in coming here was not to see my wedding, but to make a quick buck. Since you've made your money, take these things back with you. Whether I will be filial to you in the future depends on my mood and your performance."
"The second option is, do whatever you want, it has nothing to do with me. At worst, I'll sever ties with you. If you're so capable, go ahead and complain to the village and let the village head come and talk to me."
This is the village rule: if children don't support their elderly parents, the village secretary will come to give them a pep talk.
Of course, Yun Xiaoqin's words were sarcastic; the village's Party Secretary would never actually come to Kyoto.
"You..." Liu Sixi was helpless. Yun Xiaoqin was going all out, and she really had no choice but to comply.
Left with no other choice, she slapped her thigh and began to wail, "Prince of the Heavenly Prison! This is my precious daughter! Everyone, come and see!"
But before she could finish wailing, Yun Xiaoqin interrupted her, "Mom, let me tell you, this isn't the countryside. Not many people have the time to watch you shout and scream. If you really make a scene, the neighborhood officials might think you're crazy and send people to arrest you. I won't care."
At this point, Yun Dasheng became frightened. He stepped forward and whispered to Liu Sixi, "Why don't we just forget about it and do as Xiaoqin said? Actually, the dowry the Yan family gave us is quite a lot. It's enough for us to go back to the countryside and live a good life."
Liu Sixi was actually tempted; there was no need to completely sever ties with his daughter.
They're getting old, and although they don't rely on their daughters for support, having another person to care for them is definitely not a bad thing.
Only Yun Baoquan insisted on refusing, saying, "No..."
Seeing this, Yun Daqing called out to him, "Baoquan, you need to think this through. This isn't the countryside. You're isolated and helpless, and you can't cause any trouble."
In the countryside, Yun Baoquan often hung out with a group of hooligans; he was truly fearless.
Upon hearing Yun Daqing's words, Yun Baoquan fell silent.
Yun Xiaoqin could tell they were scared, so she deliberately pressed them, "Uncle 1, 2, 3, if you don't say anything, I'll assume you're the second choice..."
This time, before Yun Xiaoqin could finish speaking, Liu Sixi immediately agreed, "Okay, okay, we'll do as you say, we won't sever ties, we won't sever ties. I'll take care of you until you're twenty, you can't not take care of me in my old age."
Yun Xiaoqin snorted. Originally, she was not stingy in providing for their old age, but who knows what the future holds.
They received the bride price, and if they manage their finances wisely, they can use it for a long time.
After saying that, Liu Sixi stretched out his hand to Wu Chunlan, "When are you going to give me the bride price?"
