Zhang Huifang and Fan Daqiang looked at each other, and the two of them whispered a few words together. Zhang Huifang gestured with her hand, "We want a betrothal gift of 2,000 yuan!"
Just as Zhao Xubai was about to nod in agreement, he was stopped by Sun Simin who was sitting next to him. Her face sank, and although she was still sitting, her aura was very strong, and her face was full of the majesty of the mistress of the house.
Sun Simin chuckled, "Fan's wife, you're asking for two thousand yuan, that's really too much! You should know that even in Beijing, the current popular gift is only six hundred yuan. Are you trying to take us for a ride? What's more, what's the difference between what you're doing and selling your daughter? Why should we agree to your request?!"
Zhang Huifang's face changed, and Fan Youcheng, the youngest son of the Fan family who had remained silent, finally understood the whole story.
他满脸鄙夷地看着自家爹娘，「爹，娘，原来妹妹真的是你们逼走的！怪不得你们总支支吾吾不跟我说实情，还说是县城那个老头非要娶梨花，你们惹不起。我原以为是那老头把梨花藏起来了，还带兄弟们跑去县城揍了那老头一顿……原来，真的是你们为了点破彩礼钱把梨花逼走了！」
Facing her youngest son's accusation, Zhang Huifang immediately became anxious, "What do you mean by 'waste of betrothal money'? Who are we doing this for? It's for you and your brother. You two are already grown up, how can you marry a wife without money? And can you live in our house after you marry a wife? It should have been rebuilt a long time ago. Which of these things doesn't cost money?!"
Fan Youcheng said with an ugly face: "I, Fan Youcheng, am not doing the right thing. I am fighting and causing trouble outside all day long. Although I don't understand any great principles, I also know that Lihua is my biological sister. It is shameful to use the money from selling my sister to marry a wife and build a house! I don't agree with you doing this!"
Fan Hua looked at this young man in his twenties. Although he looked like a ruffian and a street urchin, he was not completely spoiled by the Fan couple. He could be considered a good bamboo shoot from a bad bamboo!
The Fan couple were directly angered by their youngest son's words.
They understood from Sun Simin's words just now that the 2,000 yuan betrothal gift would definitely not be given. In addition, after the youngest son made such a fuss, the He family would not give it, so they took a step back.
"Okay, then we'll follow the current popular dowry and give us 600 yuan. After that, we won't make any more trouble. From now on, we'll be in-laws!"
Just as the elders were about to nod their heads in agreement, Fan Hua immediately stepped forward and said, "If you want money, write a letter of severance! After you write the letter of severance, not only will the 600 yuan betrothal money belong to you, I will also give you an additional 400 yuan that I have worked hard to save this year, making a total of 1,000 yuan, as a way to repay your kindness in raising me over the years."
"From now on, I am no longer your daughter. I have nothing to do with you. Don't come to me again! If you don't write, you won't get a penny from here today, and I won't help my family in the future!"
Fan Hua felt that she had done her best. If she hadn't come through, the original owner would have died early. It would be better not to have such a family. Keeping them would only be a burden in the future! Maybe it would cause big trouble, so it's better to cut off all ties as soon as possible!
The reason why I agreed to give them money was just to get things done quickly and to repay them for raising the original owner!
No one present expected Fan Hua to say such a thing. One can imagine how much injustice she had suffered in the Fan family before. Everyone couldn't help but feel sorry for Fan Hua.
The Fan couple were stunned. Did they want the thousand yuan or their daughter?
The eldest son of the Fan family, Fan Youcai, was afraid that his parents would choose his sister instead of money. Then when would he be able to get married? So he whispered, "Dad, Mom, a daughter who is married off is like water spilled. My sister has already become estranged from you. Even if you don't want the money today, she won't help her family in the future. You might as well just accept the money so that it won't be a waste of raising her!"
After hearing this, Fan Youcheng said angrily: "Brother, are you talking like a human being? This is our little sister! As brothers, we should protect our own sisters. Are you still a human being? How can you persuade our parents not to have a sister?"
Fan Youcai chuckled when he heard Fan Youcheng's words, his eyes full of gloom, "I'm not a human? You are! You've learned to be loyal by hanging out with that bunch of bad friends all day long. What's the use of loyalty? Can it be used to marry a wife? Can it be used to make a living? No!"
"Girls are born to lose money. Her parents raised her up without letting her suffer any hardship or do any heavy work. They just want to use her to get more gifts so that we can find wives! If you don't want the money, then don't use it. You can earn it yourself! You have accomplished nothing and ended up being a street urchin. If your parents didn't have the money, no girl in the surrounding villages would dare to marry you!"
Fan Youcheng was so angry at Fan Youcai's words that his face turned red and his neck became thick. The young man's self-esteem also reached its peak at this moment. He stepped forward and punched Fan Youcai, and a fight broke out between him and Fan Youcai.
Fan Youcai was no match for the street urchin who hung out all day. He was hit several times in a short while and screamed in pain, "Dad, Mom, quickly pull this lunatic away!"
Fan Daqiang and Zhang Huifang, who were shocked by the sudden scene just now, finally reacted and hurried forward to separate the fight. As for the others, they just watched the show indifferently!
After Fan Daqiang pulled the man away, he slapped Fan Youcheng hard, "Who gave you the courage to hit your elder brother? Will you even hit your father in the future? What your elder brother said just now is right, you are just a street urchin who has accomplished nothing. If we don't use this money to arrange a marriage for you, let's see which girl in the surrounding villages will dare to marry you in the future!"
Fan Youcheng touched his red face and looked at Fan Daqiang with angry and hurt eyes. He spat blood on the ground, sneered, and said in a resolute tone: "Okay, I, Fan Youcheng, will make this clear today. If you want this money today, I will cut off all ties with you in the future. I don't believe that I, Fan Youcheng, can't get a wife without my sister's betrothal money!"
When Fan Youcai heard Fan Youcheng say that, his lips curled up immediately. He had completely inherited the selfish, greedy and short-sighted character of the Fan couple, even worse than them. He immediately calculated in his mind that if Fan Youcheng didn't agree, all the money in the family would be his in the future. He could go back and ask his parents to build a house and find him a wife. What else would he be afraid of having a bad life in the future!
So he immediately began to flatter Fan's parents, "Dad, Mom, Youcheng is just talking in anger, don't worry about him, he has always had a bad temper, but every time he ran out of money, he would come back and ask you for money! I will definitely be filial to you in the future, I believe that with this money, our family will definitely live a better life, you can't refuse it, otherwise you will have raised my little sister for so many years in vain!"
Fan Daqiang and Zhang Huifang agreed with their eldest son's words and made a decision immediately. Fan Daqiang stood up and said to Fan Hua firmly, "Give us one thousand yuan, and we will completely sever ties with you. You are no longer a daughter of our Fan family. Don't even think about asking your family to help you if you are bullied in the future!"
Fan Hua sneered. This was exactly what she wanted!
