Ke Meiyu scoffed, "I think you're just talking without understanding the situation!"
"You have nothing. How can you provide a good life for your future wife? Right now, you're living shamelessly in your in-laws' house, holding your head high, not caring about the mundane details of life, acting all high and mighty like an artsy type."
"On the one hand, you righteously refuse your own family's help, and on the other hand, you feel humiliated by accepting the care of your wife's family. You've got all the good things in the world, haven't you?"
"Let me guess, when you become successful in the future, will you look down on your wife for being uneducated, unable to have a spiritual connection with you, and feel that your in-laws do not respect you?"
"So you'd casually use a scheme to ruin your wife's reputation, and you'd reluctantly accept it amidst the pitying gazes of others, only to have the marriage end, then turn around and find someone of equal social standing, so that no one can find a single fault with you?"
Huang Fangbin, his two older sisters, and even the two classmates who were attending the ceremony all looked unhappy because Ke Meiyu's words were all spot on.
That's exactly what they intend to do!
Because of Huang Fangbin's ambiguous words, his family and friends mistakenly believed that Ke Yunyue, the female tyrant, had taken the bait and was using his sure-fire worker-peasant-soldier quota to blackmail him. For the sake of his future, he had no choice but to submit for the time being.
After he graduates and gets a job, he will gradually leave Ke Yunyue behind and live the life he wants.
In their view, Ke Yunyue had only herself to blame!
"Comrade Ke, don't judge a gentleman by your own petty standards!" Huang Fangbin said angrily. "I am loyal to the organization and a law-abiding citizen. I would never do such an ungrateful thing."
Now that his future is at stake, Huang Fangbin cannot afford to hesitate or back down in the slightest.
With just one step left, he was determined to get the wedding going smoothly.
He turned around and bowed solemnly to his two older sisters: "Sisters, I know that my request will have a great impact on all aspects of your lives, but for the happiness of another female comrade, I ask you to lend me some money."
"I'll pay you back with interest after I start working!"
The two older sisters of the Huang family quickly stood up. "Xiao Bin, what are you saying? If you're in trouble, how can we stand idly by? It's just that we really didn't bring much with us when we left."
As they spoke, they pooled together fifty yuan with the classmates next to them, along with a slightly worn watch and a bicycle ticket.
In fact, 20 or 30 yuan is already quite respectable for a wedding in the countryside, but the problem is that there are many outstanding examples before us!
Seeing that the man was so reluctant, and heartbroken by their daughter's recent behavior, the village chief and the others simply said, "We are just ordinary farmers with no special skills. The bride price will be part of the dowry, and we'll also buy a set of woven furniture."
Even so, this is unique in the countryside, except for the Ke family.
But Ke Yunyue couldn't contain herself and ran out, "Father, just because I'm your daughter, does that mean I won't be filial to you and take care of you in your old age?"
"You think a set of woven furniture is enough to appease me? If we were an ordinary family, I wouldn't say a word, but we clearly have..."
Before she could finish speaking, the village chief angrily slapped her across the face. "Ke Yunyue, you chose this marriage yourself. You know perfectly well why we agreed to it in the first place!"
“We have really spoiled you. You only see what you haven’t gotten, but you don’t see what your family has worked so hard for you.”
"We only have one set of woven furniture, nothing more. If you want to sever ties with us, that's fine too. Just pretend we don't have a daughter like you!"
Ke Yunyue stared blankly at the village chief, then turned to look at Ke Meiyu, who was sitting on an apple tree eating jujubes, her face burning with pain.
Huang Fangbin quickly pulled her behind him, "Father, Mother, this is enough. My husband and I are capable of anything, what can't we earn?"
"In another two months or so, we'll go to the provincial capital to study and find more part-time jobs. We'll definitely be able to get through this difficult time. After I graduate and start working, Yue and I will take care of you two in your old age!"
Ke Meiyu pursed her lips, thinking that such words could only fool the naive villagers.
The village chief didn't give Huang Fangbin any face and didn't respond. Instead, he expressed his gratitude and apologies to the people who came to watch the ceremony, and then said, "Nowadays, young people like to respond to the organization's advocacy of freedom in love and simple marriage."
"Tomorrow, after they pay their respects to Comrade Mao and read a declaration, they will be considered husband and wife. We won't trouble everyone to make another trip. Everyone can have some sweets and snacks to share in the joy."
The village chief's wife quickly brought out the food that would be served to guests the next day and distributed it to everyone.
Ke Yunyue stood behind Huang Fangbin, her eyes filled with resentment. Sure enough, her father and mother favored boys over girls!
The excitement was not interesting at all. Ke Meiyu couldn't sit still any longer, so she took the jujube pit she had finished eating, glanced at Qin Yuanjiu, and threw it at him forcefully.
As if he had eyes in the back of his head, he turned to the side, reached out and pinched her, looking at her with a stern face.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to her, Ke Meiyu smiled, pointed to the ground, and then stretched out her arms as if it were perfectly natural.
Seeing her completely unguarded appearance, Qin Yuanjiu sighed resignedly, jumped off the wall, and walked to the tree.
Ke Meiyu jumped down trustingly and landed right in his arms.
She instinctively wrapped her arm around his, before she could make any further moves.
Qin Yuanjiu put her down, took a big step back, and stood still, looking down at himself as if he had touched a virus...
Ke Meiyu wrinkled her nose at him, then took her cousin's arm and walked home.
Along the way, she would glance at her cousin-in-law every now and then; this was a genuine fox spirit!
The legendary Snow Fox is said to be able to grow nine tails and ascend to the heavens.
"Little sister, just say what you want to say," Tao Yuxiang said with a smile.
Ke Meiyu hesitated for a moment, but still decisively leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Little cousin-in-law shouldn't let hatred trap her!"
Tao Yuxiang was taken aback, then she chuckled softly, "I don't understand what you mean, little sister. I've been married to Brother Jinhan for half a year, and my in-laws treat me very well. I don't have to do any farm work, and even our clothes are washed by your little cousin."
"Which wife or daughter is like me, sleeping until she naturally wakes up every day and eating until she's only 80% full? I live a happy and carefree life every day, how could I possibly harbor hatred?"
"Little cousin-in-law, I don't know if you've ever heard the saying, 'An explanation is just a cover-up,'" Ke Meiyu nodded and said "Oh."
Tao Yuxiang was taken aback. "I... I'm just trying to prove to you that I have absolutely no reason or target for resentment."
Ke Meiyu disliked beating around the bush, so she simply stated directly: "Little cousin-in-law, you must be five hundred years old, right? It's just that your cultivation level is a bit worrying."
Tao Yuxiang trembled slightly, her smile forced. "Little sister, why are you saying things that are hard to understand today?"
Ke Meiyu raised an eyebrow and smiled, then directly stuffed a spirit beast pill worth one low-grade spirit stone into the person's mouth!
