Lu Xue couldn't finish eighty kilograms of food. She had to feed her brother-in-law as well. No one in Shibali Village had ever seen such generous conditions.
Mrs. Lu's face suddenly froze. "Sister Zhou, you're asking too much. I'm just digging in the dirt and can barely afford to eat. How can I possibly give you 80 kilograms of food? I think you should just take your son back. My Lu family doesn't dare marry someone too high."
Tomorrow, let Wang, the matchmaker in the village, find out if there is anyone who has a relative in the city. Her daughter can marry him for a betrothal gift of 500 yuan.
It's not that she is greedy. Five hundred yuan for the betrothal gift can already test a lot of things. At least people without money can't afford it.
Aunt Zhou's face looked unhappy, and she wanted to leave by pulling her son.
Lu Xue looked at Zhou Jianjun eagerly, feeling so pitiful. Zhou Jianjun was also a little distracted thinking about how wild this guy was in bed. He said to his mother firmly, "Mom, 500 yuan is 500 yuan. It's not like we can't leave the house. Since we're here, let's get married. Otherwise, how can Xiaoxue live like this if the news gets out? She and I have been dating for a long time, and it's time to get married."
Aunt Zhou has been shrewd and stingy all her life, and her son is a fool, which makes her very disappointed. Now it is just a matter of giving a betrothal gift, and whoever gives in first will lose.
My stupid son, who has been fooled around by some woman.
Old Mrs. Lu was very proud. Her daughter was really capable. Aunt Zhou's son looked easily influenced. After they got married, wouldn't her daughter be the one to take charge of the family?
By then, I can move things to support my son.
The more she thought about it, the more beautiful it seemed. Old Mrs. Lu became more and more motivated.
Aunt Zhou snorted coldly, "What a petty bunch of people! They're not up to par with us." She looked at Zhou Jianjun with a serious expression, "Jianjun, are you not listening to me anymore? I'm doing this for your own good. Are you going to leave or not?"
Zhou Jianjun shrank his neck, obviously not daring to be presumptuous. No matter how pitiful Lu Xue was, he could only follow Aunt Zhou step by step.
Old Lady Lu's face was extremely dark. She felt that the Zhou family looked down on her. She pointed at Lu Xue and scolded her, "Why did you marry such a worthless guy who only listens to his mother? What's the point of me raising you! If you can't come up with the 500 yuan betrothal gift, forget about this marriage."
She spent a lot of money raising her daughter, so shouldn't she get it back?
Anyway, Mrs. Lu will not do business that will lose money.
Lu Xue held her mother, biting her lip in embarrassment. It was obvious that Aunt Zhou already knew that she and Zhou Jianjun had slept together. If she didn't tell her mother, her mother would probably hold on to the betrothal gift.
There was no other way. Lu Xue hesitated again and again, then closed her eyes and said loudly: "Mom, Brother Zhou and I are already...already husband and wife. I'm already pregnant with Brother Zhou's child for two months. If you insist on asking for a betrothal gift, I'll have no choice but to die when my belly gets big. Aren't you forcing me? Mom, you love me the most, can you help me? I want to marry Brother Zhou!"
She is a scholar and looks down on ordinary farmers. She must marry into the city so that she can enjoy a happy life in the second half of her life.
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Lu exploded. She looked at Lu Xue in disbelief. When she realized what she had said, she slapped her.
Lu Xue was hit so hard that she took a step back and almost bumped into the table behind her. "Say it again? What did you do?"
If she really gets pregnant, how can she have the confidence to ask for a dowry from the Zhou family? This cheap bastard, even a scholar, has no sense of shame at all.
If this gets out, people will stab you in the back.
Old Mrs. Lu sat down on the ground, slapping her thigh and crying, and Old Man Lu also looked unhappy.
Lu Xue, who was originally thought to be the most obedient, is now embarrassing herself. She has brought shame to the Lu family.
Gu Qingning had also returned from delivering the meal and was eating melon seeds by the door. Oh, this was truly a big drama.
What era is this? Getting pregnant before marriage means you won’t be able to hold your head up in the village for decades to come.
That's how it is in the village, people are stubborn and unrepentant.
Lu Xue was so ashamed that she looked at Old Lady Lu pleadingly, "Mom, don't you love me the most? You have to think of a solution for me. Will Brother Zhou ignore me when he goes back? What should I do in the future? I'm afraid I can't hide my belly. I asked someone to check it out, and it's a boy. The Zhou family is really a bunch of rotten consciences."
When she heard it was her son, Mrs. Lu's face changed immediately. Son, son is good, now there is evidence.
If the Zhou family really refused to acknowledge her, she would go to the textile factory and make trouble, and she would not let the Zhou family control her.
Old Mrs. Lu quickly wiped away her tears and cried and laughed like a crazy woman.
"Well, well done, you are worthy of being my daughter. Don't you want to marry him? Wait, I will definitely let you marry him. If the Zhou family really dares to reject you, I will tear them apart."
Now they are protecting their own people, but they just have a handle to threaten them. Even if the Zhou family is top-notch, they probably can't beat the Lu family, who are so shameless. Some people are going to suffer.
However, Gu Qingning still likes to watch dogs fight each other, it's very interesting.
Lu Xue finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as her mother said there was a way, the Zhou family would not be able to escape. "Mom, you still love me the most. Don't worry, I will definitely not forget you when I marry in the city."
Lu Xue is just talking nonsense. When she really gets married, judging from the situation today, she won't be able to withstand the beatings from the Zhou family women. Hard days are still ahead.
So women, you have to judge the situation and don’t dream of things that don’t belong to you, otherwise you will suffer.
Gu Qingning now likes to read the gossip about the Lu family. It is much more interesting than what the aunts in the village say.
Old Lady Lu rolled her eyes at her and said, "If you don't obey your mother, you're a heartless wretch. And you have to help your brother. He is the hope and pride of our Lu family."
Speaking of Lu Weiguo, he quickly puffed out his chest. His natural sense of superiority made him think that he was superior to others and that it was natural for others to contribute to him.
Lu Xue lowered her head, making it difficult to see the emotions in her eyes. "Don't worry, mother. I've remembered everything you said. I will definitely not leave you behind. I'm enjoying myself, so how can I bear to see you suffer?"
Lu Xue spoke sweet words as if they were free of charge, which made the others grit their teeth. What a shameless bitch, now she was kicking him.
I didn't dare to say a word just now.
But now Old Lady Lu was in high spirits, and no one dared to speak, and could only despise her in their hearts.
Just two days later, there was no news from the Zhou family, and these people were as anxious as ants on a hot fire.
Especially Old Mrs. Zhou, who got dressed up and planned to go to the county town, saying that she was going to visit her in-laws. These people knew what was going on and were waiting to see her make a fool of herself.
