Chapter 1 Falls into the Ground
"Li Zhuzi, let me tell you, you don't want to marry my family Xiu'er without a 200,000 bride price today."
In Wang Xicai's house in Heishan Village, the water inside and outside the house was impassable, and Wang Xicai was scolding Li Zhuzi with both hands and jumping on his feet.
Inside the house, Li Zhuzi held the 50,000 yuan borrowed from relatives tightly in his hand, and sat on the kang with his mother Xu Guihua to endure all this.
"His uncle, Zhu Zi and Xiu'er are married, we have agreed before, the bride price is 50,000 yuan, seeing that this house has been built, and relatives and friends have also been invited, why has the bride price grown to 200,000?"
Tears had already seeped out of the corners of Xu Guihua's eyes, and she asked with a slight trembling body.
Wang Xicai sneered, straightened his waist, and said: "Sister-in-law, you are also an understanding person, the reason for the marriage was because the pillar and his father were alive and the family conditions were good, and now the livelihood of your orphans and widows has become a problem, should I let Xiu'er go to your house to suffer?" β
"Now, my son is also going to talk about marriage, and if you don't ask your family for money, what will happen to my son? 200,000, not a single cent less. β
Li Zhuzi has been sitting on the kang without speaking, in order to get married and build a new house and gather the 50,000 dowry, the family is already in debt, and now it is impossible to come up with another 150,000.
"Uncle, I can assure you that Xiu'er will not suffer after marrying, Xiu'er and I are childhood sweethearts, and we can't treat her badly."
Li Zhuzi said and jumped down from the kang and assured Wang Xicai.
Wang Xicai snorted, and then said: "Don't dream, today you will either take 200,000 bride price or withdraw from the marriage." β
"Divorce?" Li Zhuzi's head buzzed and asked, "Uncle, my dad was kind to your family when he was alive, and now that he is gone, how can you do this?" β
"Besides, my house is almost finished, and now you propose to add 200,000 dowry, isn't it embarrassing for me?"
Although Li Zhuzi was trembling with anger, he kept suppressing his emotions and didn't want to fall out with his future father-in-law.
"Sorry for you? I just want to embarrass you, the girl I have raised for almost 20 years, you can build a house and marry it away for 50,000 yuan? What do you want to do? Wang Xicai hugged his shoulders and said.
At the beginning, Wang Xicai himself proposed to ask for a bride price of 50,000 yuan, but now he has temporarily changed his hexagram, and the tide is rising, which is obviously deliberate.
Li Zhuzi really had no choice, thought about it, and said, "Uncle, do you think this will work?" I wrote Xiu'er's name on the house and counted it as her pre-marital property. β
After hearing these words, those irrelevant villagers nodded one after another, they also knew Li Zhuzi very well, in this situation, being able to pass the house to Wang Xiu's name without reservation was enough to see Li Zhuzi's sincerity.
However, Wang Xiu did not speak on the sidelines, watching all this like a bystander.
"Whew! How much is your house worth? Moreover, that house is also what my family Xiu'er deserves, and it was originally hers. Wang Xicai waved his hand with disdain and said, "Needless to say, the 200,000 bride price cannot be less, and even a penny less is not to be discussed." β
Li Zhuzi's heart chuckled, there were still a few days left for him to be happy, but he didn't expect this to happen.
"Xiu'er, what the hell are you thinking?" Li Zhuzi hoped that Wang Xiu could stand up and say something at this time, so as to block Wang Xicai's mouth.
But what Li Zhuzi didn't expect was that Wang Xiu had been silent and did not express any opinions.
"Li Zhuzi, I heard that your father left you a treasure before he died?" Wang Xicai came to Li Zhuzi's side and said with a wicked smile: "Uncle knows that you have no money, so it's okay to give the baby to your uncle, so it's a bride price, what's the matter?" β
"What?" Li Zhuzi frowned, it turned out that Wang Xicai's bride price was fake, and it was true that he was worried about his own things.
"Uncle, my dad didn't leave any treasures, those are just rumors."
Li Zhuzi is also telling the truth, when his father died, it was indeed rumored that there was a treasure left in his family, but this treasure didn't even know Li Zhuzi himself.
"Brother Zhuzi, didn't you say how much you love me? Am I not even as good as a baby? In the future, I will marry you, and I will have a share of that baby, and now you can marry me smoothly with my father, why can't you take it out? Wang Xiu suddenly spoke under everyone's gaze.
"What?" Li Zhuzi never expected that his fiancΓ©e would say such a thing.
"Xiu'er, if I really have any treasures in my family, will I be so depressed that I will borrow money to build a house?"
Li Zhuzi only now understands that since his father's death, Wang Xiu has alienated himself for a while, and then suddenly became warm to himself, and now it seems that he is the legendary treasure of Tuna.
Wang Xiu shook his head again and again, and said: "If you love me, give the baby to my father, my brother also needs money to get married, can't you think about me?" That's my own brother. β
Wang Xiu's words deeply pierced Li Zhuzi's heart.
She kept saying that she wanted to think about her, but had she ever thought about herself?
In order to treat his father, Li Zhuzi spent all the family's continuations, and even contracted out the ration fields.
Now in order to marry Wang Xiu, the money for building a house is also borrowed from relatives with interest.
"Xiu'er, you should know if I'm sincere to you, but why are you breathing out of the same nostril with your father now, are you and me just for that baby?" Li Zhuzi asked.
After Wang Xiu heard this, he smiled coldly, and his eyes were unprecedentedly sharp.
"Li Zhuzi, you are so funny. I'm my father's daughter, am I still in the company of you, an outsider? Now I'll ask you, will you marry me? If you don't marry, you can get out now, and if you do, you will either take 200,000 bride price, or give the baby to my father. After I pass through the door, I can do everything else to your satisfaction except for serving your mother. β
Li Zhuzi's expression changed from shock to anger and from anger to sneer.
"Hehe, you're with me just for the money, aren't you?" Li Zhuzi was already discouraged, but he didn't expect that money could really be used to find out his true feelings.
"Yes, who wouldn't want to marry a rich man? How many people are worried about me Wang Xiu, and you should also know, why should I marry you without paying a price? β
Li Zhuzi nodded with a sneer and said, "Okay, I understand, I don't feel sorry for this marriage now." β
"Mom, let's go."
Li Zhuzi grabbed his mother Xu Guihua and walked out directly.
"Li Zhuzi, if you dare to walk out of this door, you will never want to be with me in the future." Wang Xiu saw that Li Zhuzi actually agreed to withdraw from the marriage and threatened.
Li Zhuzi sneered, turned his head and replied, "If I had known that you were a brother-in-law demon, I wouldn't have been engaged in this marriage." β
"You... What did you say? Wang Xiu stomped her feet angrily, in her impression, Li Zhuzi obeyed her, but she didn't know that everyone had a bottom line.
"Pillar, pillar, you listen to me, and beg your uncle and Xiu'er again, maybe they can agree." Although Xu Guihua has been in tears, she is still unwilling.
Li Zhuzi didn't speak, although his expression was very indifferent, but his heart seemed to have been stabbed dozens of times, and he couldn't breathe in pain.
"Stop!"
Just as Li Zhuzi was about to walk out of the yard, someone suddenly shouted behind him.
"You're just leaving?"
As soon as Li Zhuzi turned around, he saw that Wang Xicai had chased him out.
"What else do you want?"
"How? Hehe, you have been with my family Xiu'er for so long, and now even if you divorce, you have to compensate us for our mental loss. β
Wang Xicai's words caused a burst of laughter from the lively blind dates, although they didn't speak, but most people felt sorry for what happened to Li Zhuzi.
"Wang Xicai, you're not kidding, are you?" Li Zhuzi felt very ridiculous, in addition to holding hands with Wang Xiu, he and Wang Xiu did not cross Yaochi for the sake of her reputation, how can this mental loss fee begin?
Wang Xicai glared at the cross-eyed, waved his big hand, and four people came from both sides, all holding wooden sticks with thick arms in their hands, and walked towards Li Zhuzi.
"If you don't give me an IOU of 50,000 yuan today, I will treat you as if you can't get out of my yard. Give it to me. β
Where has Xu Guihua seen this scene, seeing that her son was going to suffer, she directly protected Li Zhuzi's front, but before she could stand firmly, she was easily pushed to the ground by a big man.
"Mom, how are you?" Li Zhuzi saw that his mother was pushed down and hurriedly went up to help, and at this time, a stick with the wind smashed directly on the back of his head.
Li Zhuzi only felt that his eyes were black and fainted to the ground.
