As soon as An Dafu left home, Gao Xiaoyu's eyelids started twitching, worried that An Dafu had gone to find Yang Cui.
Gao Xiaoyu knew that Yang Cui didn't like her, and she was worried that Yang Cui would ruin her plans, so she was a little anxious.
Wen Xiuli patted her hand and whispered to comfort her, "Don't worry, you are carrying the An family's grandson, they won't refuse. Even if you become a concubine first, you have a son, and he is the eldest grandson. If you behave well in the future, you can definitely become a secondary wife. It's just that they are a bit stingy and unwilling to give a bride price."
Wen Xiuli was also thinking of using the dowry from the An family to renovate her house and find wives for her two sons.
“None of the An brothers are married yet, so this is an opportunity. You can get some money from your second aunt to help your two brothers.”
Just as Wen Xiuli finished speaking, An Dafu returned.
The Gao family all stared at An Dafu.
An Dafu sat down and said, "I will not allow Gao Xiaoyu to enter the family, not even as a concubine."
Gao Xiaoyu hated Yang Cui to the core. She knew immediately that Yang Cui was behind the sabotage. Why couldn't she stand to see her doing well? She had no grudge against Yang Cui, so what had she done to offend her?
The Gao family was furious.
Wen Xiuli jumped up, glaring angrily: "An Dafu, what did you say?"
Gao Xiaoyu's father, Gao Tiancai, said sternly, "What are you trying to do now? You're going to take advantage of us and then deny everything? Impossible! I'm telling you, this is impossible!"
Wen was cooking in the kitchen when she heard the commotion in the main room. She immediately put down what she was doing and rushed over, only to find everyone in a tense and angry atmosphere.
At this moment, Gao Xiaoyu suddenly knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face as she pleaded, "Second Aunt, Second Uncle, please grant my wish. Please, if I don't marry Brother Jiang, I'm doomed. For the sake of the child, please grant my wish, okay? The doctor said that this child is definitely a son, Brother Jiang's son, your grandson."
Wen hurriedly helped Gao Xiaoyu up: "Get up quickly. Think about the baby in your belly, how can you kneel on the ground?"
Upon hearing this, the Gao family felt that the Wen family was the key to their success.
"Second Aunt, I'm fine with being a concubine. I don't ask for a wife or a principal wife. Really, I'll be content just to be Xiao Jiang's concubine. I promise to behave myself. Please grant my request for the sake of the child. I beg you."
After saying that, Gao Xiaoyu pretended to kowtow, which terrified Madam Wen: "How can you bend over in your current state? Get up quickly."
Wen Xiuli grabbed Wen Shi, tears streaming down her face, and said, "Second sister, we've been sisters for so many years, we can't just watch the child be ruined. Besides, she's carrying your grandson. Do you want me to kneel down before you agree? Then I'll kneel down for you."
Wen Xiuli pretended to kneel down before Madam Wen, but Madam Wen immediately helped her up: "Elder sister, don't do this, let's talk it over properly, let's talk it over properly."
After saying that, Wen looked at An Dafu, who said, "Looking at me is useless. This kind of person is bound to be a troublemaker as soon as he enters the house."
"No, Uncle, I'm not..."
An Dafu looked at Gao Xiaoyu: "You've already started causing trouble before you've even entered the house. And you still say you're not? In short, there's no way you're going to get into my house."
As for the child, you can give birth to it and settle down with us. You can stay at our house for a while; we'll provide you with food and drink. After the child is born, you can leave. When you get married, I'll give you another tael of silver as a dowry, which, together with the silver I gave you last time, will make a total of three taels.”
Three taels of silver was actually a lot for farmers. You have to understand that in those days, farming alone wasn't enough to make ends meet, so it was almost impossible for a family to come up with one or two taels of silver.
However, the Gao family was not satisfied, and Gao Xiaoyu's appetite could not be satisfied with just one or two taels of silver.
Gao Tiancai: "You think you can get rid of us with this little bit of money? An Dafu, you're dreaming!"
Wen frowned slightly: "Dafu, why did you suddenly..." change your mind.
Wen had already guessed that An Dafu's sudden change of heart was definitely because of Yang Cui.
An Dafu: "What can you do to me if I just refuse?"
The Gao family really can't do anything to An Dafu. Not to mention that this whole thing was their doing, they're in the wrong, and the An family isn't taking any responsibility, so it doesn't affect the An family at all. On the contrary, the Gao family has to bear the consequences of Gao Xiaoyu's premarital pregnancy.
“Our Xiaoyu is hardworking, capable, and beautiful. She’s also pregnant with the An family’s eldest son and grandson. She’s just going to be a concubine. Why can’t you agree to that? Do you have to drive her to the brink of despair?”
After Grandma Gao Xiaoyu finished speaking, she flopped down on the ground and started rolling around in a rage, yelling, "This is too much! This is outrageous! God, please open your eyes! I can't live like this anymore..."
Wen Xiuli: "Now that you have money, are you ignoring our kinship?"
Gao Tiancai: "Why say so much? If you don't take responsibility today, I'll go to where An Xiaohu is studying and tell her that your An family is ungrateful. Don't forget that if it weren't for our Gao family's help, your An family would have starved to death long ago!"
Gao Xiaoyu's grandfather said sternly, "That's right! Go make a scene at An Xiaohu's school and let's see if he can still study!"
Upon hearing this, An Dafu flew into a rage: "You dare! If you dare to harm my son, I'll fight you to the death!"
Gao Tiancai grinned wickedly: "Heh, if you don't give us a satisfactory explanation, see if we dare to do it? We'll all hang ourselves at the academy and make a scene that will be all over the city. I don't believe An Xiaohu can still study then."
Even if the An family is innocent, it's useless for the villagers to believe them. The academy certainly won't believe them either. Moreover, if An Xiaohu becomes an official in the future, his opponents will use this incident to attack him.
There's a saying that goes something like this: public opinion is a fearsome thing.
An Dafu was so angry that his veins bulged, and he threw a punch: "I'll beat you to death, you bastard!"
Gao Tiancai was punched, and his nose immediately started bleeding profusely. He shouted angrily, "Fuck your ancestors!"
The two men got into a fight, and when the Gao family saw that their own member was being beaten, they immediately joined in. Several of them ganged up on An Dafu, and the Wen family, of course, wouldn't stand for that, so they also joined the fight.
After hearing the fighting, the neighbors rushed over and separated them.
The Gao family was outnumbered by four to two, making the situation of An Dafu and his wife quite dire.
"I'm going to report this to the authorities! Those bastards want to be my in-laws? Dream on! Bah!" An Dafu glared at the Gao family, thinking that it was fortunate he listened to Yang Cui and didn't agree to Gao Xiaoyu's marriage. With the Gao family's character, there would definitely be more trouble after they entered the family.
Upon hearing that An Dafu was going to file a lawsuit, the Gao family became excited: "Go ahead! Let everyone see how ungrateful you An family are, how you bully our Gao family! Our daughter gave her pure body to Xiao Jiang, and she's pregnant now. You won't even let her be a concubine. You're trying to force us to our deaths!"
