Mother Lu’s anger was instantly ignited, and she pointed at Lu Yaoyao and shouted: "What are you talking about? When did I use you as a tool? Why do you have to involve your elder brother?" Can sons and daughters be the same? A son is the continuation of the family line, and the children he will have in the future will have their family name. A daughter will one day get married and become a member of another family.
"Isn't it? You always say that the palms and backs of your hands are all made of flesh, but your heart is in your armpits. From childhood to adulthood, you have left everything for your big brother, whether it was food or clothes. When he made a mistake, you have never been willing to beat or scold him. What about me? Even if I say one wrong word, you will scold me. I really doubt whether I was born by you or adopted." Lu Yaoyao spoke out all the grievances in her heart over the years. She couldn't understand why they treated her differently when they were all their children. Was it just because she was a girl?
"You...you are really rebellious..." Mother Lu was so angry that she was shaking all over.
Lu Yaoyao took a deep breath and calmed herself down. "Mom, I don't want to quarrel with you. Yun Shen and I are very happy together. Don't you want to have a husband who loves me in the future? Don't you want me to be happy?"
Mother Lu sneered, "If you want to be with him, you can ask him to pay a betrothal gift of 100,000 yuan."
"Mom, do you know what you are saying? Which family would give a dowry of 100,000 yuan for a marriage nowadays?" Even if she was sold, she wouldn't be able to be sold for 100,000 yuan.
"I don't care. If he can't give you 100,000, you should break up with him and marry the man your aunt introduced to you." Mother Lu crossed her arms and had a look on her face that showed no sign of negotiation.
"Okay, then I will die in front of you." As Lu Yaoyao spoke, she wanted to rush to the side and get the fruit knife she usually used to peel fruit.
Zhou Yunshen quickly grabbed Lu Yaoyao and held her in his arms, "Aunt, do you really have to do this? Is money more important than Yaoyao in your heart?"
"I raised her, fed her, and clothed her. Isn't that money? Shouldn't I ask for a gift if she wants to get married? Think about it yourself. If you can come up with 100,000, I will marry Yaoyao to you. If you can't, don't bother my daughter."
"What's the difference between this and selling your daughter?" Lu Xuanluo couldn't listen any longer. He looked at Lu Yaoyao, "Sister-in-law, if you have to choose between your parents and Brother Zhou, who will you choose?" "I choose Yun Shen." Lu Yaoyao said without hesitation. Her mother's words had completely chilled her heart.
"You heartless girl!" Mother Lu raised her hand and hit Lu Yaoyao in the face.
Zhou Yunshen grabbed the hand that Lu's mother was holding and said, "Aunt, don't go too far." He shook off Lu's mother's hand.
"Since you have chosen Brother Zhou, I will give you one hundred thousand as long as you write a letter of commitment to sever ties with us." Lu Xuanluo felt that it would be better not to have such a mother-in-law's family.
Lu Yaoyao was a little hesitant. No matter how disappointed she was, they were still her family.
Lu Xuanluo turned to look at Mother Lu who was rubbing her wrist and cursing, "If I give you 100,000, are you willing to break off relations with your sister-in-law?"
Mother Lu's eyes lit up, "Are you really willing to give me 100,000?"
Lu Xuanluo nodded.
"Okay, as long as you give me one hundred thousand, I will cut off ties with her." Anyway, she will belong to someone else's family after she gets married, so it doesn't make any difference whether the relationship is cut off or not. But it’s different with 100,000 yuan. She no longer has to worry about her husband’s medical expenses or her son’s marriage.
"Mom!" Lu Yaoyao looked at Lu's mother disappointedly, tears streaming down uncontrollably. It turns out that in her mother's heart, she is not important at all.
Lu Xuanluo turned to look at Lu Yaoyao.
Lu Yaoyao bit her lip and said, "Okay." Since her mother was so heartless, what else could she expect?
Lu Xuanluo took out a check and wrote a check for one hundred thousand yuan. "Here is one hundred thousand yuan. I will give it to you after you finish writing the letter of commitment."
"A Luo, consider this money as a loan from me to you." Zhou Yunshen said. Things had come to this point, and he felt it would be better to sever ties.
Lu Xuanluo smiled indifferently.
Mother Lu was so excited when she saw the check in Lu Xuanluo's hand. One hundred thousand, that’s one hundred thousand. Even their family cannot earn that much money in their entire life.
"Write now, give me paper and pen." Lu's mother said impatiently.
The only glimmer of expectation in Lu Yaoyao's heart disappeared without a trace at this moment. Forget it, let's leave it at that.
Lu Xuanluo winked at Zhou Yunshen.
Zhou Yunshen immediately went to the studio to get paper and pen.
Lu Yaoyao took the paper and pen, glanced at Lu's mother, sighed in her heart, and started writing on the paper.
Mother Lu kept staring at the check in Lu Xuanluo's hand. When Lu Yaoyao finished writing, she quickly took the pen and signed her name on the letter of undertaking.
"I have signed it, now you can give me the money."
Lu Xuanluo handed the check to Lu's mother and said, "The agreement has been signed. No matter what happens in the future, you can't come to see my sister-in-law, otherwise you will have to pay back the 100,000 yuan with interest."
Mother Lu snatched the check and said, "I understand. I won't look for her again." After breaking off the relationship, the 100,000 yuan would be hers without a single cent missing. She didn't have to prepare any dowry. It was such a good thing that she was so happy.
Lu Yaoyao leaned in Zhou Yunshen's arms, tears streaming down her face. At this moment, her heart was already dead, and from now on, Yun Shen was all she had left.
Mother Lu took the check and ran out of the studio without stopping.
"Yaoyao, I won't let you down." Zhou Yunshen comforted Lu Yaoyao. He knew she was very sad now.
Lu Yaoyao cried for a while, then calmed down a little. She wiped her tears and said, "I'm fine. I'll go sit in the lounge for a while. You guys can chat."
Zhou Yunshen was a little worried.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything stupid." Lu Yaoyao forced a smile that was uglier than crying. She was sad, but things had come to this point and being sad wouldn't change anything.
"Okay." Zhou Yunshen did not force him and sent Lu Yaoyao to the lounge. He also had something to say to A Luo.
Back in the studio, Zhou Yunshen walked up to Lu Xuanluo and looked at him gratefully, "Luo, thank you so much this time. I will return the money to you as soon as possible."
"There's no rush for money, Brother Zhou, what are your plans next?" Lu Xuanluo asked.
Zhou Yunshen pondered for a moment and said, "I want to take Yaoyao to live in another city." Although he had signed the written pledge, he felt that the Lu family would definitely look for Yaoyao again.
"That's a good idea. My sister-in-law's company in Haicheng needs someone. You can give it a try. I believe you can do it with your talent."
"But I still want to open a photo studio." Zhou Yunshen was a little embarrassed. His dream is to have his own photo studio.
