Seeing her aunt's attitude, Zhao Xiaocao knew that the matter was settled.
Zhao Xiaocao was deeply moved. Despite suffering such a great injustice, she had not shed a single tear.
But her aunt was being kind to her, and Zhao Xiaocao couldn't help but shed tears of gratitude.
Zhao Wanzi handed her a handkerchief and then said loudly, "Sister Xiaocao, we also have a place for you to stay at our house. We can live together."
Zhao Xiaocao nodded repeatedly, deeply moved.
Old Mrs. Zhao had three sons. Her youngest son's daughter wanted to sever ties with her parents and went to stay with her eldest and second sons.
This incident is not only a slap in the face to the Cheng family and Zhao Xiangnan, but also a slap in the face to Zhao's wife.
Cheng was always a shrew and unreasonable person, and she immediately sat on the ground and cried.
"You damned ingrate, you're making your parents lose face in the village!"
Cheng cried, but no tears came out. She called out a few times, then crawled on her knees to Old Lady Zhao and grabbed her trouser leg.
"Mother, you saw it too. The eldest and second sons are ganging up to take my daughter away. You must stand up for me and seek justice!"
Upon hearing this, Tao and He Tiantian's expressions immediately turned sour.
Cheng is really good at talking. They were the ones who forced Zhao Xiaocao to refuse to acknowledge them, so how did it become that the two of them conspired to steal someone else's daughter?
This is a painful thing for anyone to think about!
As if she had anticipated her mother's outrageous actions, Zhao Xiaocao calmly corrected her, "I went to my aunt's and second aunt's house on my own initiative, and I am very grateful to them for taking me in."
"I don't want to be my parents' daughter, because even strangers treat me much better than my own parents do!"
Cheng ignored what Zhao Xiaocao was saying, focusing only on her own sobbing and insisting on her own version of events.
"They must have bribed you. What do you know, you're just a kid!"
Zhao Xiaocao glanced at Cheng Shi and said, "Then you think too highly of me. Someone like me is not worth bribing."
This whole back-and-forth has taken quite a while, and Old Lady Zhao doesn't want to delay her eldest grandson's marriage.
"Alright, alright, we can deal with our own family matters tomorrow. Let's go and bring the new bride back first!"
Only after being reminded like this did everyone finally remember the important matter.
Zhao Tiezhu was also wearing a new outfit today, with a large red flower lavishly tied around his chest.
It is said that this is something that only people in the city can afford to wear when they get married, and it is the first one in their Changfeng Village.
Several young men around Zhao Tiezhu's age came forward, curiously touching and tugging at it.
Zhao Tiezhu slapped them all away, saying, "Go away, don't touch it and get it dirty."
Everyone thought it was festive and very attractive, so they all started placing orders.
"Brother Tiezhu, when I get married next year, can I borrow your big red flower to wear?"
"I want one too! I want one too! I'll reserve it first!"
Zhao Tiezhu chuckled and said, "Go away, go away, you should find a wife first."
Everyone was curious and followed the groom to pick up the bride, since they were both in the village and close by.
Sister Yulan's house was also carefully decorated. Although they only had three rooms, they still set aside one room to decorate it properly.
Han Xiu's wedding attire was also bought by Tao's, and they specially chose one that matched Zhao Tiezhu's outfit.
Looking at her niece's outfit, Sister-in-law Yulan praised her, "So beautiful! Our Xiuer is already pretty, but she looks even more beautiful in this outfit."
Han Xiu was also a little shy, and two blushes appeared on her face.
Liu Yulan and Liu Shuixian stayed in the house the whole time, busying themselves with preparations for Han Xiu's wedding.
Han Xiu looked at her two younger sisters with great gratitude, "Aunt, Yulan, Narcissus, thank you so much. I..."
Before Han Xiu could finish speaking, Sister-in-law Yulan grabbed Han Xiu's hand.
She held his hand solemnly and said, "Xiuer, our families have been friends for many years. To be honest, it's your good fortune that you were able to marry into that family. After you two get married, you must make sure you live a good life together."
Han Xiu nodded and said earnestly, "I definitely will, Auntie."
Sister-in-law Yulan wanted to say something more about Luo Shi, but when she got to the point, she felt that today was not a good day.
Seeing the doubt in Yulan's eyes, Han Xiu said frankly, "Auntie, I will never help my parents after I get married. They... they are the ones who don't want me..."
She had seen many families in the city sell their daughters because of poverty, but Han Xiu's family had not yet reached that point.
But her mother's words and actions last time were as if she had been sold for eight taels of silver.
This left Han Xiu without any support or face to marry into her husband's family.
Since that's the case, then let's not acknowledge each other in the future.
Sister Yulan nodded and comforted her, "After the New Year, you, Yulan, will still have to go to the city to work, and I'll be one less person here."
"Since you've come to my house, and we're such close friends, if you've suffered any injustice, just come back and tell your aunt. I'll definitely stand up for you."
Seeing her mother rambling on as if she had no end in sight, Liu Shuixian chimed in, "Mother, there's really no need for you to worry."
Who is Aunt Tao? And who is Brother Tiezhu? How could such honest and kind-hearted people bully Sister Xiuer?
Sister-in-law Yulan was both amused and exasperated by her daughter's words. These days, kids talk like adults!
"You're so good with words, aren't you? I think you and Wanzi are becoming more and more alike." Liu Yulan tapped Liu Shuixian's head.
