After Zhou Laoer passed away, Zhou Shuyan was adopted by the Liu family, and Grandma Zhou lived with Uncle Zhou's family.
After Zhou Shuyan came back from the Liu family, Grandma Zhou moved out of the old house and lived with her granddaughter.
Zhou Family Compound.
Ye Shen and his sister sat down face to face with Uncle Zhou's family.
Aunt Zhou got straight to the point: "Shuyan's father is gone, so her marriage is naturally decided by us as her uncle and aunt."
"You have no relationship with her, yet you just arrived and you say you want to take her away. Who knows what your plan is? We certainly can't let you leave Zhoujia Village."
Hearing this, Ye Shen almost laughed out of anger.
This week's family was really good at turning the tables.
It is obvious that they are greedy for compensation, but now they are putting the blame on others.
There's no point in reasoning with this kind of person.
Ye Shen simply laid it out: "Tell me, how much money do you want to let Shuyan go?"
Uncle Zhou's family thought it would take some time before they could talk about money.
I didn't expect the other party to be so direct.
The couple looked at each other, and then Uncle Zhou said a number: "One million."
What?
Ye Shen suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.
He expected the other party to open his mouth as wide as a lion, but he didn't expect it to be a bloody mouth.
Zhou Shuyan and Grandma Zhou were also so shocked that they were speechless.
One million? That's an astronomical figure.
Seeing their shocked expressions, Uncle Zhou said with certainty, "Yes, it's one million. Not a cent less!"
After hearing this, Ye Shen realized that he had underestimated the other party before.
The other party clearly wanted to make them give up by using this amount.
There is no sincerity in negotiation at all.
Of course, Ye Shen could not agree to this price. Even Ye Ning, who initially wanted to use money to get rid of the Zhou family, completely gave up the idea.
Seeing that the two did not express their opinions, Zhou's uncle and his wife echoed each other: "I thought you cared about Shuyan that much. Aren't you a big businessman? You are not willing to spend one million for Shuyan. Go back to where you came from as soon as possible and don't set your sights on our Shuyan."
Ye Shen and Ye Ning were not quick-witted people. Faced with this unreasonable and unruly rogue, they were completely helpless even though they had a mouth.
"Uncle, aunt, I don't want to marry Fan Dafu. I asked Aunt Ye to take me away. Why should I ask her to give you money?" Zhou Shuyan mustered up the courage to stand up. For the first time, she blushed in front of Uncle Zhou in front of so many people.
Being asked this question, Aunt Zhou immediately became angry: "Shuyan, you have no conscience when you say this. If it weren't for our family taking care of you since you were a child, you would have been bullied to death by others."
"Have you forgotten who helped you chase away that old bachelor from the village who broke into your bedroom in the middle of the night and tried to do that to you?"
"The thugs from the neighboring village forced you to date, so who stood up to protect you?"
"Oh, now that you've grown up and met the rich and powerful family who adopted you, you want to cut ties with us! I'm telling you, if you behave like this, you'll be scolded and criticized!"
Aunt Zhou is a master at making trouble and can even turn black into white.
Zhou Shuyan was so angry that she couldn't say a word.
Grandma Zhou knew that this daughter-in-law was difficult to deal with. She was clearly calculating the demolition compensation, but she also talked about other things.
"That's enough! Shut up!" Grandma Zhou poked her eldest daughter-in-law in the face with a trembling finger, and then said with a determined expression,
"My granddaughter won't marry Fan Dafu because she was already engaged to the son of the Liu family who adopted her!"
