However, Yu Mingxiang harbored a hidden worry because...
“You beat Zhao Tiezhu and his family of three so badly they can’t get out of bed. I heard from the neighbors that they seem to be planning to bring their daughter back.”
Xuancao is her daughter!
Now is the perfect time for her daughter and Ji Zichen to develop their relationship.
Yu Mingxiang is reborn, and all she wants is to change her daughter's tragic fate, not to affect her daughter's good marriage.
Don't worry.
Seeing her worried, Gu Guanhai, knowing the reason, did not expose it, but comforted her, saying, "The Ji family is not to be trifled with. The Zhao family accepted the Ji family's exorbitant dowry of one thousand yuan. Trying to use daylilies as an excuse is just wishful thinking!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Mingxiang exclaimed, "!!!"
One thousand dollars?
Qin Yuzhu's dowry of 880 yuan in Beijing was already high, but her daughter's dowry in a remote mountain village like Hedao Village was an astonishing 1,000 yuan.
The Zhao family...
This is selling her daughter!
Yu Mingxiang gritted her teeth in anger.
soon.
She realized how reliable Gu Guanhai was, because the Zhao family had just announced that they wanted Xuancao to return from the army to take care of their family of three, and they hadn't even had time to discuss it with the Ji family yet.
The Ji family then came to their door.
A large group of about twenty strong men, along with about twenty wives and children, blocked the Zhao family's door.
Ji Zichen's family is large and prosperous.
His father, Ji Luoguo, had seven brothers, and he had more than ten cousins in total.
The whole family came out, and the scene was truly spectacular.
Upon hearing the news that the Ji family had come to visit, Yu Mingxiang and Xue Ru excitedly followed the villagers to join in the fun.
Seeing the Ji family members blocking the entrance to the Zhao family's house, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law exclaimed, "!!!"
Everyone was stunned.
"A whole family of heartless bastards, they've been abusing Xuancao since she was little, treating her like cattle and horses, and they just keep doing it."
"You asked for a dowry of one thousand yuan, which our Ji family has given. Although Xuancao is not yet officially married into the family, she is already a de facto daughter-in-law of our Ji family. You three are unable to move, yet you expect Xuancao to come back and serve you? What makes you think that?"
"If you want Xuancao to come back from the army, then the marriage is off, and you have to return our 1,000 yuan dowry!"
"..."
Faced with the overwhelming and aggressive Ji family, Zhao Tiezhu and his family of three, already outnumbered and outmatched, were speechless upon hearing this.
A dowry of one thousand yuan!
Zhao Tengfei had already squandered almost all of that thousand yuan dowry, so where would they get the money?
"No bride price returned, and they still want a daughter? Where in the world is there such a good deal?"
"Do you think our Ji family is easy to bully? No way, let's have a fight!"
"Let's risk two villages fighting, see if the Ji family is afraid!"
"..."
Upon hearing that the matter had escalated to the level of the entire village, the old village chief couldn't sit still any longer and hurriedly stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "It's not that serious! It really isn't! The daylily was betrothed to your Ji family; everyone in the surrounding villages knows that."
"According to the agreement you made when you got engaged, the Zhao family received a dowry of one thousand yuan, and Xuancao is now the wife of your Ji family. Whether she wants to stay in the Zhao family before the wedding or go to the Ji family to live beforehand is entirely up to her. The Zhao family cannot decide this, and our Hedao Village will not take sides with them."
The old village chief said this.
The faces of Zhao Tiezhu's family immediately turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
Upon hearing this, Yu Mingxiang, who was in the crowd, exclaimed, "!!"
My heart couldn't help but tremble.
Did the Ji family and the Zhao family have such an agreement when they got engaged?
Why did her daughter stay in the Zhao family, a den of wolves, after getting engaged?
As she was thinking, the old village chief gave her an answer.
