Lu Jiajia, being fashionable, wore a wedding dress borrowed from a photo studio. Originally, the studio only used it for taking pictures, but Lu Jiajia liked it so much that she insisted Qi Wei pay 20 yuan and leave his work ID as collateral before she could borrow it from the studio.
She probably forgot this point. When she vented her anger, she didn't care at all. The food on the plate stained her wedding dress, but she didn't care. Instead, she acted on her temper and tore off two tablecloths until Qi Wei slapped her!
"Are you crazy? Your wedding dress is worth over 100 yuan. How are you going to return it if you get it dirty?" Qi Wei felt a pang of heartache just thinking about the money.
He only has a few hundred yuan left, which was almost all spent on the wedding. If he really needs to pay compensation, where will he find the money?
Qi Wei roughly calculated the expenses for the wedding: the three turns and one sound (referring to a radio, sewing machine, and bicycle) plus the 36 legs cost 420 yuan; the bride price was 388 yuan; the clothing cost 180 yuan; and the wedding banquet cost 325 yuan...
Damn it, we've almost emptied our savings.
We don't yet know the severity of my father's situation, and I have no idea how badly our family will fall apart!
Lu Jiajia, however, only cared about her own pride and threw a tantrum, which really disappointed her!
Lost in her own thoughts, Lu Jiajia couldn't think of any of that. She was completely immersed in the humiliation of her wedding being ruined and being slapped by Qi Wei. She covered her face, looked at Qi Wei with the eyes of someone looking at a stranger, and said in a trembling voice, "You...you hit me?"
Her gaze gradually turned icy, and she suddenly lunged at Qi Wei, scratching his face with her long fingernails.
"If you dare hit me, I'll fight you to the death!"
Qi Wei initially dodged, not wanting to stoop to her level, but then his face burned with pain. When he touched it, his hand was covered in blood, and he immediately lost his temper, punching her left and right, turning her face into a pig's head.
Lu Jiajia was knocked to the ground, barely breathing. Lu Aiguo and Zhang Guixiang belatedly rushed to protect her.
Qi Wei didn't stop, but kicked them a few more times until he felt he had exhausted his strength, and then he stopped!
Lu Jiajia was kicked hard in the chest by Qi Wei, and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, which almost scared Zhang Guixiang to death.
"Get to the hospital quickly, someone's going to die!" Lu Aiguo, being the factory director, quickly realized the reality: everyone was angry, so saving their lives was the priority.
He and Zhang Guixiang helped Lu Jiajia out of the restaurant, found a pedicab, and pushed her to the hospital.
Once he calmed down, Qi Wei realized that he had acted too impulsively and that his kick that injured Lu Jiajia was a bit too hard. But when he thought about the broken pieces all over the ground and the need to pay for them, he felt that it was only right to teach Lu Jiajia a lesson.
Feeling conflicted, he went to the restaurant to ask if he could get a partial refund for the banquet, but was flatly refused.
"The food has already been served. Who told you not to eat it? Not only will we not refund your money, but you will also have to pay for the broken plates, or I will call the police!" the restaurant manager said.
There were thirteen tables in total, all of which were top-quality meals prepared according to Lu Jiajia's requirements, with a standard of 25 yuan per table. And they just wasted it like that!
The gifts received averaged 2 yuan per person, totaling more than 200 yuan, all of which were in Lu Jiajia's hands; he didn't see a single penny.
He had to go to the hospital, find that bitch, and get the money back.
When he arrived at the hospital, he learned that Lu Jiajia's spleen had been ruptured by his kick, and her life was in danger.
Fortunately, he had the money from the gift, which allowed him to have surgery in time. Otherwise, if it had been delayed any longer, his life might have been in danger!
Seeing that there was no hope of getting the wedding gift money back and that his newlywed wife was on the verge of death, Qi Wei felt nothing but bad luck!
He thought back carefully and realized that all the bad luck in his family started when he met Lu Jiajia, which made him feel more resentful towards her.
He was thinking of leaving before the surgery was even finished.
When he left, he asked Lu Aiguo for the wedding dress, intending to exchange it for his work ID.
To his surprise, Lu Aiguo gave him a good scolding, "At a time like this, you're still thinking about the wedding dress? It's covered in blood, how can you even keep it? The doctor cut the wedding dress to save the patient!"
"What? The wedding dress was cut up? That was a dress that cost more than a hundred yuan! Give me the rest of the wedding gift money right now, I need to go and compensate them!" Qi Wei was furious.
Zhang Guixiang was furious. At this point, which is more important, the wedding dress or the person?
Qi Wei's attitude chilled her to the bone. Was it a mistake to marry Lu Jiajia to him?
If I had known, I would have let Lu Wanqing marry into the family!
Qi Wei made a scene for a while, and only left after getting 100 yuan from Zhang Guixiang, cursing and swearing!
Zhang Guixiang resigned herself to her fate, truly unwilling to see Qi Wei's ugly face any longer!
Thanks to the combined efforts of the doctors, Lu Jiajia's life was saved, but her health deteriorated significantly, and she now needs to take large amounts of medication every day to stay alive.
Seeing her miserable state and thinking of Lu Wanqing living a carefree life in the countryside, Zhang Guixiang was filled with hatred. She immediately discussed with Lu Aiguo that Lu Wanqing must send 20 yuan home every month. If she didn't, she would sever their mother-daughter relationship, and Lu Wanqing would not be allowed to receive a single penny of the family's money! She shouldn't expect the family to use their connections to transfer her back to the capital; she would be left to fend for herself in the countryside!
Lu Wanqing looked at the letter Zhang Guixiang had written to her and couldn't help but find it funny!
Her parents, who had lived with her for eighteen years, were actually going to break off all ties with Lu Jiajia, whom they had only known for half a year!
Are they treating her like a cash cow? They're asking for an outrageous 20 yuan a month!
Not a single penny!
Severing ties is one thing, but threatening with family assets is quite another. Do they really think they have a throne to inherit?
With their biased attitude, no matter how much she gives, it's useless! If it really comes to that, she won't get anything in return.
She no longer expects anything; she's strong enough that she doesn't need anyone's charity!
Originally, she thought that if she stayed far away from that home, her heart wouldn't hurt anymore. Now, her heart has turned completely cold and no longer aches.
"Ah Ye, shall we go back to the capital?" Lu Wanqing suddenly said to Lin Ye, who was working at the ancestral home.
Lin Ye thought she was homesick, so he quickly said, "Then I'll write a report and go home with you. I should also see my parents-in-law."
Lu Wanqing gave a bitter smile. "No, Aye, they are no longer your parents-in-law. We're going back to the capital to show them how well we're doing!"
Lin Ye noticed that she was upset, so he quickly put down what he was doing and came over to hug her. "Honey, don't overthink it. No matter what, I'll be by your side, with you and supporting you!"
"Okay." A tear slid down Lu Wanqing's cheek.
She would have no family to rely on after this. The only thing that would bind her to the capital was to fight hard for the college entrance exam and go back. She wanted to stand in front of those who had hurt her as a victor!
She wants to live better than any of them!
