Chapter 67: Do you want to marry yourself to that old pervert?
He Rongrong's eyes were red. "My stepmother was having an affair with someone and my father found out. My brother is not my father's biological son. The two of them teamed up to beat my father. My father was beaten and admitted to the hospital. He has not woken up yet. The doctor said that at least 2,000 yuan should be prepared."
"My stepmother introduced me to this man. I refused him at first, but he knew my family situation and told me to marry him. He was willing to pay 1,500 yuan as a betrothal gift and give it to me right away."
Her mother died early, and she depended on her father for her early years. Later, her father met her stepmother through someone else's introduction. Her stepmother treated her well on the surface but often bullied her secretly. Her father did not help her in order to please the stepmother, and she suffered a lot of grievances.
Three months ago, she couldn't bear it anymore, so she went back to the village to look for her grandmother, but her grandmother had passed away some time ago, and after the funeral, she had nowhere to go but to come back.
But this happened just after she came back, and she felt like she was about to collapse, but her father was still lying in the hospital waiting for her to save his life.
He was her only relative, and she couldn't bear to watch him die.
Wen Jiu could understand He Rongrong's feelings. She was also so helpless when her grandfather passed away. She patted He Rongrong's back gently and said, "It's okay. Don't be afraid. I will take care of the money problem. I have 400 yuan here. Take it and go to the hospital to pay for your father's medical expenses."
The four hundred yuan was a red envelope given to Lu Beiye by Grandpa Wen and Chu Xiuli. She had to go home to get the rest.
"Ajiu..." He Rongrong's voice choked, "Thank you for your kindness, but I can't take your money. I know everything about you and your husband since I came back from the village. It's not easy for you either. I don't want you to have conflicts with your husband. I will find a way to deal with my father's affairs myself."
Wen Jiu deliberately yelled, "He Rongrong! What do you want to do? Would you rather marry yourself to that kind of obscene and disgusting old pervert than accept my help? Do you still regard me as a sister?"
"If you don't treat me as a sister!"
"I'll leave immediately!
"I will never appear in front of you again!"
She had to speak more seriously so that He Rongrong could put aside all those messy concerns in her mind.
He Rongrong quickly said: "Of course, I treat you as my own sister!"
"If that's the case, then stop talking nonsense!"
"Which hospital is your father in?" Wenjiu asked as he reached into his bag for money.
"Jinbei Hospital!"
It’s not far ahead. It’s only three to five minutes’ ride away.
"Okay." Wen Jiu handed the money to He Rongrong, "Use this money to pay the fees first, and I will send the rest to you tomorrow at the latest."
"My husband and I have a very good relationship. You don't have to worry about us having a quarrel because I lent you money. He listens to me. You just need to take good care of your dad now. We can talk about other things after he recovers."
He Rongrong wiped away her tears, "Ajiu, thank you for helping me. I will try my best to pay you back in the future. I promise."
Even if she died of exhaustion, she would find a way to return the money to Wenjiu.
She has someone she likes.
Now she no longer has to sell herself for money, which is her only blessing amid all the troubles.
"I trust you!"
"In my eyes, you are excellent."
Wen Jiu hugged He Rongrong, and then asked Wen Jianyan to ride a bike to take her to the hospital.
When the siblings returned to the compound, Wen Chuji and his father Wen Zhenhua had also returned. Aunt Jiang had already prepared dinner and was waiting for them.
"Dad, brother, you're back." Wen Jiu greeted Wen Chuji and Wen Zhenhua.
Wen Zhenhua didn't look at her and said coldly: "Don't call me dad!"
"I don't have a girl like you!"
When he thought of what Wen Jiu did on their wedding day, he wanted to slap her to death. He, Wen Zhenhua, believed that he had never done anything wrong in his life, so how could he have given birth to such a debt-collecting daughter.
Master Wen snorted, "Ajiu, you should call him uncle instead!"
Wen Zhenhua was so angry that he fell backwards, "Dad!"
"Don't call me dad!"
"Call me uncle!"
After saying this, Old Man Wen waved his hand, motioning Wen Jiu to sit next to him. Wen Jiu bent his neck and obediently sat over to light a cigarette for him.
Grandpa is mighty!
Wen Jiu silently gave a thumbs up to Old Man Wen in his heart.
When Wen Zhenhua saw that he couldn't deal with Wen Jiu, he turned his anger towards Wen Jianyan and scolded him harshly, which almost made Wen Jianyan shut himself off.
In the end, it was Old Master Wen who smoothed things over and the matter was finally over. They started to eat, but they didn't drink because they all had things to do in the afternoon. They just had a simple meal. After the meal, Wen Zhenhua called Lu Beiye to the study to talk.
Wen Jiu originally wanted to go in and listen, but Chu Xiuli pulled her back to the room, and took out a red envelope from the cabinet and handed it to her.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
Why are you giving her a red envelope for no reason?
Chu Xiuli explained, "There are two thousand yuan in here. It's Aye's betrothal gift to you. His money didn't come easily. At that time, I told your father that we didn't want a betrothal gift, but he insisted on giving it to me. Mom kept the money and didn't give it to you because she was afraid that you would still squander it like before. Your father and your brother are both soldiers, and I know how hard it was for him to earn this money."
"Although you forced the two of you to get married, he was very thoughtful in every aspect, did not neglect you, and brought honor to our family, which is enough to prove his character."
"In my eyes, he is an excellent son-in-law. Now that you have changed, he is willing to accept you. I am very pleased that you two can resolve your differences and live a good life."
"So mom can now safely hand over this money to you. After you two have completed the marriage process, the money he saved will probably have been spent. You can use this money to run your little family well."
It turns out that all of Lu Beiye's money was here. No wonder he only gave her so little, just over 300 yuan in odds and ends.
Wenjiu's nose felt a little sour, and she was touched by Chu Xiuli's long-term consideration for her.
And Lu Beiye.
How can he be so good?
In that situation, he was clearly unwilling but still took out almost all of his savings to renovate the house and buy furniture, and also prepared a betrothal gift, saving enough face for the Wen family. If she had met someone else with the evil deeds done by the original owner, she would probably have been strangled to death!
Although she is not short of money.
But the money belonged to Lu Beiye, so she still took it and put it carefully into her bag.
"Mom, I know, don't worry! I will definitely live a good life with A Ye." Wen Jiu held Chu Xiuli's hand and assured her, "He is so good, I can't bear to let him down!"
"I'm glad you understand." Chu Xiuli showed a comfortable smile and carefully reminded Lu Beiye of the things she should pay attention to when getting along with him, for fear of missing anything.
By the time Wenjiu came out of the room, Lu Beiye had already finished talking to Wen Zhenhua and came out to sit in the living room waiting for her.
Wen Chuji was driving the car on the way back, while Wen Jiu sat in the back and secretly asked Lu Beiye, "What did my dad tell you?"
She is really curious!
