Su Nanxi thought, "They must have already come over with all sorts of awful relatives, so does that mean I can finally live a peaceful and happy life?"
Hmm, that should be fine!
The Mo family indeed enjoyed a very leisurely and carefree time over the next few days!
Everything was running smoothly. Listening to the villagers gossiping and bragging seemed pretty good!
The Mo family lives a carefree and happy life, but some families in the village are not having a peaceful time!
First, the incident involving Guo Jiumei's family shocked all the villagers in Changna Village!
What was that saying again? It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. That's absolutely true!
Guo Jiumei experienced all the joy and satisfaction that money brings, and she got carried away. But then she was suddenly brought back to her original state, and she couldn't get used to it. She felt extremely uncomfortable!
Guo Jiumei and her daughter both felt the same way. They felt so ashamed that they couldn't hold their heads up in front of the villagers. They didn't dare to go out, and they couldn't stand hearing people gossip. Whenever they saw others chatting, they always felt that they were being talked about!
I couldn't help but hate Chen San to death. It's all because of that bastard Chen San, that stingy man!
If it weren't for Chen San, they could still be living a good life!
It was money given voluntarily, so why can't it be taken back?
I've never seen such a disgusting man!
What a disgrace to men!
They even turned around and accused them of being the ones who took his money, causing his grandmother to have no money for medical treatment and ultimately pass away. Bah! What does this have to do with them?
Don't blame everything on them. They didn't do anything. Are you taking advantage of people's kindness and daring to pin the blame on them?
Why not kick him out and keep him out for the New Year?
It's bad for their family's reputation!
Pooh!
They don't want a man who says he wants to get married but goes back on his word, shirks responsibility, and makes baseless accusations!
Now, girls in their village don't have to worry about getting married. It's very easy for them to marry into a good family. If one doesn't work out, they can move on to the next one!
You'll always find a good man eventually!
That money was clearly given to them by that bastard Chen San himself. Once it was given to them, wasn't it theirs? Why should they take it back?
I'm so angry!
They've already spent some of the money and can't pay it back, yet they dare to threaten them, saying they'll go to the county government to sue them and ruin their reputation!
I've never seen such a wicked man!
The Guo family mother and daughter were indeed tricked by Chen San. At first, they were not afraid, but when they saw that Chen San was serious, they became scared and quickly paid back the money they could, as well as the money they had spent, and made a promise to pay it back slowly in the future!
From then on, they lived a miserable life, even harder than before!
In the past, although we didn't have fancy meals, at least we weren't burdened by debt!
They wanted to renege on their promise, but Chen San always found a way to dissuade them!
Chen San was determined to make these people pay the price. The money couldn't be recovered, and there was no need to pursue the matter, but Chen San insisted that they return every single penny!
The reason is simple: Guo Jiumei went on a blind date, hoping to hook up with a rich man, become a young mistress, and live a sweet life from then on!
There was nothing wrong with that in itself. The mistake was that Guo Jiu Mei used Chen San's money to dress herself up and then went on blind dates with people!
Perhaps it was good luck that Guo Jiumei met a wealthy young man. The young man, for some reason, also took a liking to Guo Jiumei. The two hit it off, and everything proceeded according to plan!
This infuriated Chen San. He felt greatly humiliated. He had initially held some affection for Guo Jiu Mei, but now that affection was gone, replaced only by hatred!
So Chen San didn't hold back and began to deal with the Guo family without any mercy.
Chen San is no good; he's quite capable to be a merchant. He's just temporarily bewitched by Guo Jiu Mei, and he both loves and hates her!
I want to think badly about Guo Jiumei, but I also don't want Guo Jiumei to be really bad!
That's an incredibly irritating thought!
When he really gets serious, as he himself said, even he's afraid of himself!
The Guo family faced even greater hardship from that point on!
They originally didn't want to appear in public, but since there was meat to eat at the wedding banquet, they didn't want to miss it, so they shamelessly went!
This is why Su Nanxi was able to see them at the banquet.
The Guo family owed Chen San money, had no income, and had nothing to pawn. They were also reluctant to sell their luxury goods, so their lives suddenly fell into a whirlpool!
The matter had to be resolved, so the Guo family decided to marry off Guo Jiu Mei and use the resulting dowry to repay Chen San!
But Guo Jiumei had experienced floating in the sky, so she was unwilling to come down to the ground. She refused to lower her standards for choosing a partner and insisted that he must come from a wealthy family!
Guo Jiumei's father, Guo Laoqi, felt a lot of pressure. He was unwilling to let Guo Jiumei continue to act so recklessly, so he gave Guo Jiumei a choice: to choose one from the list of potential blind dates!
I have to marry him, whether I like it or not!
Because the Guo family was really having a hard time. They didn't follow the villagers in planting new crops, nor did they go out to do odd jobs or long-term work. They relied entirely on the meager harvest from the land. Unfortunately, this year's harvest was not as good as in previous years; it had dropped sharply. There were several people in their family!
If the weather is favorable in the second half of the year, then there's no need to rush. But right now, it's very uncertain. Nobody knows how the weather will develop. If there's a natural disaster, and we have no food reserves left, then we're doomed!
Guo Laoqi deeply regrets not following the trend in the village back then. Because of his prejudice, he is now facing enormous difficulties!
But it's too late to regret it now; all they can do is watch the villagers collect their money and smile happily!
He couldn't smile at all. He had no money, no food, nothing at all, and he was also in debt!
The more I think about it, the angrier I get!
It's all the fault of those two vain women in my family!
He's so angry! He didn't buy anything!
That money was someone else's betrothal gift, yet they claimed it was spent on their family!
It's a wonder he's so stupid; he was blinded by greed and believed it!
How rich must someone be to give so much money away so easily, especially to a peasant girl who has nothing!
Looking back now, I feel like a joke!
He probably won't survive if he doesn't marry off his spendthrift daughter!
I'm so angry I could die!
Since ancient times, marriages have always been arranged by parents and matchmakers, and the matchmaker has the final say!
This house can't take any more damage!
Guo Jiu Mei was naturally unwilling, as this was far from what she had expected. However, Guo Lao Qi made a threatening statement: if she didn't choose, he would just point to someone at random!
Guo Jiumei fought for a long time to no avail, and was eventually chosen.
Her mother wanted to help, but Guo Laoqi said that if she pleaded for mercy, she could divorce him and remarry!
So her mother also stopped and settled down. At her age, if she were divorced, would she even want to live?
Seeing that Guo Laoqi was determined, I dared not gamble!
Guo Jiumei outwardly agreed, but inwardly she hadn't given up on her dream; her verbal consent was merely a means to gain freedom.
"Don't disbelieve me, it's true. She ran away and became a concubine for a family!"
