Old Mrs. Su's face fell.
"You're talking nonsense. It's only natural for our family to accept a small gift when marrying off our daughter. Who said it's human trafficking?"
Ye Shan hugged her chest with her hands, and her head leaned on Xiao Yuer's shoulder intentionally or unintentionally.
"You don't have the final say on what constitutes human trafficking. In our village, betrothal gifts are usually just a few dozen yuan, never over 100!"
"Although I paid a lot of money, I did it willingly. Ask Li Zhou if he did it willingly. If he doesn't, then it's just a business deal! If you don't believe me, let's go to the police station and ask them."
Old Mrs. Su stopped talking.
Ye Shan's confident look made her afraid to speak.
Who knows, maybe this educated youth really wasn't fooling anyone and what he said was true?
Anyway, no matter what, Old Mrs. Su would never put herself in danger. She is already very old and doesn't want to go to jail.
Ye Shan smiled and gave the other party a way out.
"I think this kid only willingly gave up 300 yuan because he wanted to take responsibility. Otherwise, no one would be so easy to talk to! He will have to live in this village in the future. You didn't put much effort into raising this child, so 300 yuan is enough for him!"
Li Zhou took out a stack of reunion cakes and handed them over.
Old Mrs. Su snatched it away, dipped her finger in saliva and started counting.
"Li Zhiqing, you're getting married to my granddaughter, but you don't have a house yet, right? Why don't you just live at my house? You can stay home to eat, but your work points..."
Ye Shan was not prepared to bring such a burden to Li Zhou, otherwise he would not be able to take care of Si Lao Er wholeheartedly in the future.
After all, there is a whole family of burdens following behind.
"Li Zhou, are you planning to be a live-in son-in-law? Those who do can receive money, but you have to pay for it yourself!"
Li Zhou's face looked as ugly as ever.
"I'll give you the money. You give me Daya's household registration, and we'll go get a marriage certificate! As for the future, Daya can just pretend that she doesn't have this family! How our lives go is our business!"
"Daya, don't blame me for being cruel! It doesn't matter whether you have a family or not. After we get married, we just need to live our own lives! I borrowed this 300 yuan from someone!"
Su Daya's eyes were full of gratitude.
In fact, she knew very well that a country girl was not worthy of the educated youth.
But at that time, her family tried every possible way to sell her.
Li Zhou is not very good at working, but he has a relatively gentle personality.
Su Daya didn't have any other requests, as long as she didn't get beaten.
So she designed this play.
Fortunately, the final result was what he wanted.
Li Zhou may have some minor flaws and may not be very good at his work, but the most important thing is that he is a person who is willing to take responsibility.
As long as she is not beaten and is not allowed to go hungry, Su Daya feels that such a life is great.
"Hey! Are you planning to abandon your parents' home once you get married?"
"The question is, do you consider this as being married? Who marries off their daughter without a dowry? Or did you, old lady, prepare a dowry?"
Li Zhou is not a fool. If he doesn't get rid of the person now, when will he wait?
Su Daya got up from the ground and slowly moved behind Li Zhou.
This attitude clearly shows that he is on Li Zhou's side.
"Okay! This girl has no conscience, but there's nothing we can do. Our family isn't well off, and you have several sisters and brothers. We simply don't have the money to prepare a dowry for you. If you don't want to recognize your natal family, then don't do it!"
Li Zhou found his words so rude and wanted to explain himself, but was stopped by Su Daya.
"Li Zhou, forget it! It doesn't matter what others say, as long as we live a good life! Don't worry, I will help you pay back the 300 yuan!"
Ye Shan nodded secretly. It seemed that Su Daya was not a bad person.
It's normal for people to have some little thoughts. There's nothing incomprehensible about using some tricks to make their lives better.
Li Zhou was plotted against, or maybe he knew it himself, but he was still willing to take some responsibility, which was enough to prove that Su Daya had good vision.
As for Su Daya, he was a good person, but he was indeed preparing to live a good life.
Ye Shan held Si Yu's hand and watched all this with a smile.
"It seems that you can rest assured even if you follow me from now on!"
Si Yu nodded.
If he encountered these things, he really didn't know how to deal with this fierce old lady.
Now he has learned a trick.
Regardless of whether the case was sent to the police or not, it’s right to use it to scare people!
Si You felt unwell all over when he returned home. He didn't know what happened in the morning, but he was locked up as soon as he got home and was not allowed to go out no matter what.
Although he is no longer a child, how can he bear being locked up at home?
Although he is indeed quite shy, how could a teenager not have the rebellious heart?
So he sneaked out.
But he had just slipped away a short distance when Boss Si discovered him.
Knowing that his son was still a little rebellious, he quickly grabbed him.
"Si You, I told you not to go out before we go to repair the reservoir this time, don't you know?"
"Dad, look at any boy who was locked up at home when he was my age. What's wrong with me going out to play with my friends?"
"Do you think I'm sad for you normally? It's just that I've locked you up at home during this period of time. It's not for your own good. How come you don't know?"
Si You stared at the intersection, obviously determined to go out.
"I'm telling you, you really can't go out for a while. Don't you know you're being targeted? That incident this morning was aimed at you!"
"If Li Daniu hadn't come, you would have jumped into the water to save people. After you saved them, you would be blamed on them. Do you know that?"
Si You was startled.
He is still young and doesn't want to get married so soon. The most important thing is that the person he likes is Chu Lian, whom he doesn't like.
"How is this possible? That Chu Zhiqing is older than me!"
"How is it impossible? It was your cousin's wife who told me this! She has been waiting for you there for a long time. In order to make her act faster, she even sent you out to do the laundry."
"Hasn't Chu Lian received so many benefits from Li Daniu? Li Daniu is no fool. He's already made up his mind to make a scene when Chu Lian gets married. Now that he's got a wife for free, of course he's happy!"
"Just be happy in your heart. If he hadn't saved you from a disaster, you might be getting married right now! I locked you up these days just to hide from Chu Lian. You can get out once she gets married!"
