"What are you talking about, little girl? Stop making trouble. If you delay my bamboo shoots, I'll go to your door and give you a fight!"
Aunt Zhang became anxious when she saw her daughter being bewitched by Song Li.
But if Zhao Fengzhu didn't have this idea, how could he be persuaded by Song Li.
She turned to face Aunt Zhang and said word by word, "Mom, I won't marry!"
"What? You don't want to marry me? Old Six has already given me the betrothal gifts. Can you just break off the engagement?"
Moreover, she was already a second marriage, and now she was embarrassed in public, which made Aunt Zhang feel even more ashamed.
Uncle Zhao was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, and hurriedly ordered Yang Laoliu to take the person away.
A wedding turned into a complete farce.
If Zhao Fengzhu had any affection for them before, it was gone now.
"Dad, Mom, I'm your daughter. I don't want to get married. Is that not okay?"
"No!" Aunt Zhang replied sternly.
"Because you are my daughter, that is why you must get married."
"Zhuzi, your father and I only have you as our child. We're counting on you to support us in our old age, but you've been acting like a madman at home every day, unable to work and ruining your reputation. Now that Laoliu is willing to marry you, what else are you dissatisfied with?"
Aunt Zhang doesn't mind supporting her for a few more years, but she keeps being like this. What will she and her husband do in the future?
It would be better to find someone willing to marry you now so that you can quickly get some high bride price and ensure the future life for you and your spouse.
After hearing what Aunt Zhang said, Zhao Fengzhu was completely heartbroken.
She didn't blame Aunt Zhang. Not all parents were as selfless as Song Lao Er and Zhang Xiu.
There are more people like her parents who raise their children to take care of them in their old age, but she has brought shame to them.
"You can support me in my old age, and I can earn more work points. Why do I have to get married?"
"No matter how much a woman earns, she can't live without a man. If you don't get married, you're an outlier. You're sorry to me and your father!"
Aunt Zhang was already getting a little impatient. The whole village was laughing at their family, and even though she was thick-skinned, she couldn't stand it anymore.
Zhao Fengzhu clenched her palms and bit her lips until they bled.
"Okay, then I'm going to cut off all ties with you!"
"What? Zhao Fengzhu, tell me again, what are you going to do?"
Aunt Zhang was stunned. Although her daughter was strong-willed, she had been very obedient since she was a child. Now she wanted to break off relations with them.
Aunt Zhang thought her ears must be broken and she must have heard it wrong.
"I said I'm going to cut ties with you."
Zhao Fengzhu's lips turned pale, but her tone was firmer than ever.
"You want a daughter who gets married and has children, but I can't do that."
She has already missed out on her life once, and she wants to live for herself in the days to come.
Even though it might still be a deep pit, at least she had the opportunity to choose.
"Okay, okay, okay!" Aunt Zhang was so angry that she said three "okay" words in a row.
"Since you want to sever ties with us, you should settle the accounts and return all the money we spent raising you since you were a child!"
Aunt Zhang pinched her because she had no money, but ignored that there was Song Li who was watching the fun and didn't mind getting involved.
"Aunt Zhang, is one thousand enough?"
Raising a child is cheap these days, and you can raise a child with just a mouthful of rice soup and a mouthful of rice.
When Zhao Fengzhu entered junior high school, Song Li gave her a little more money.
"you!"
Aunt Zhang was choked by her words, which were stuck in her throat.
One thousand is certainly enough, even more.
But she didn't want to break off relations with her daughter!
Song Li was afraid that she would go back on her word, so she counted out a thousand yuan and gave it to her.
"Okay, now Sister Zhuzi has nothing to do with you."
"What...I..."
Aunt Zhang hadn't reacted yet, "I didn't mean to break up..."
“Give me the money!”
Uncle Zhao's eyes lit up and he snatched the money away.
That's a thousand dollars, they haven't saved that much in most of their lives.
She is a useless girl to begin with, and if she says she will cut off the relationship, she really will. I won't be able to escape her support in my old age.
"If you don't want to marry Yang Laoliu, then don't marry him. But I won't return the 500 yuan betrothal gift. Anyway, you have nothing to do with our Zhao family anymore, so you should pay back what you owe yourself."
Second Uncle Zhao was so cruel that even Captain Zhao couldn't stand it.
"Alright, second brother, Zhuzi is your daughter after all, so quickly return the betrothal money to Yang Laoliu."
Zhao Laoer is usually most afraid of his brother, the team leader, but now that he has the money, no one can ask him to return it.
"She was the one who said she wanted to break off relations first. Since she's so capable, she can definitely come up with 500 yuan."
After saying that, without waiting for Captain Zhao to speak, he pulled Aunt Zhang home and locked the door. It was obvious that he didn't intend to care anymore.
Those who originally thought that Zhao Fengzhu's behavior was excessive now understood her after seeing this.
They can't survive with a family like this.
"Bamboo, look..."
Yang Laoliu rubbed his hands. He had borrowed the five hundred yuan from all he had scraped together, and he couldn't let his wife lose both her money and her money.
Zhao Fengzhu was already disheartened. She didn't know how to repay Song Li for the 1,000 yuan she had given her. Now, these 500 yuan...
"Lizi, can you lend me another 500? I'll work like a slave to pay you back!"
Perhaps it was because people were overwhelmed by debt, so Zhao Fengzhu subconsciously believed that Song Li would definitely help her.
Song Li had already helped her so much, so there was no reason for her to give up halfway.
"I don't need you to work like a slave for me, but you do have to repay me!"
Song Li paid back Yang Laoliu's betrothal money for her. As glorious as Yang Laoliu was when he came, he was reluctant to leave when he left.
He was a bachelor for half his life, and when he finally found a beautiful wife, she died in the end.
The donkey cart slowly passed by Zhao Fengzhu. Yang Laoliu asked another question without giving up.
"Zhuzi, if you regret it, come find me. I will wait for you all my life!"
Zhao Fengzhu had a cold face, and her idea of not getting married and not having children became stronger.
The wedding ended in a farce, and Zhao Fengzhu's severance of ties with the Zhao family became the biggest topic of conversation in Daxingtun during the spring.
Moreover, she owed Song Li so much money, and everyone was curious about how she would pay it back. Without the Zhao family, she would be nothing, and it was hard to say whether she would have a place to live in the future.
Although everyone felt sorry for her, they also wanted to laugh at her.
Even Zhao Fengzhu himself was confused about the future.
She doesn't know how to do anything except farming, and with the few work points she earns, after deducting the cost of her own food, there are only a few dollars left. It will take her forever to pay off her debt.
"You shouldn't have helped me."
At the He family, Zhao Fengzhu sat on the sofa in the He family, with her hands slightly curled up on her knees.
"Regret it?"
Song Li poured her a cup of hot tea, and Zhao Fengzhu took it and sipped her lips.
Of course she didn't regret it, but she shouldn't have dragged Song Li into this.
"I can't pay you back..."
"Who said you can't afford it?"
"...You're going to sell me out?"
Zhao Fengzhu saw that Song Li's tone was so firm that the words came out of his mouth.
Song Li was amused by her. The sharp-tongued Zhao Fengzhu in her memory seemed to have returned.
"How much do you think you're worth? Memorize this and prepare for the exam in a month."
