Chapter 410: Chapter 10: The Hero Saves the Beauty and Sets a Marriage Agreement_4
——Shi Suifeng still couldn’t escape her grasp.
Just then, someone pushed the door open and came in: "Hey, Wei Hong, you’re awake?"
Zhao Weihong feigned weakness and said, "Yes... Didn’t I fall into the river? Who saved me?"
It was dark, and there was no light in the room, so she naturally didn’t see the disdainful expression on the educated youth’s face.
It was because she fell into the river that people were forced into blind marriages. Moreover, Shi Suifeng said she dived into the river herself... Zhao Weihong was getting more and more peculiar.
No wonder everyone was reluctant to talk to her much.
But they’re all girls, so tearing the mask wouldn’t happen openly. The other person just coldly said "Hmm": "Someone saved you, be content with that. Be more careful next time."
The words "causing harm to others and oneself" were held back.
Zhao Weihong didn’t speak either.
She actually understood these girls’ feelings—Shi Suifeng was so handsome, and now because of one incident, he had to marry her, their hearts were bound to feel sour.
But in 20 years, when Shi Suifeng has achieved success and fame, and she becomes the high and mighty lady, who knows what these people will think then.
Thinking of this, Zhao Weihong’s lips curved into a lofty smile, as if she could already see her glamorous future.
Little did she know, she was not in shadow, and her strange expression was unsettling, making the educated youth think she was crazy.
...
At this moment, the Old Chu Family also luxuriously lit the kerosene lamp.
The eldest nephew quietly came to pass a message to his aunt: "Aunt, your wife said that he collected your money during the day, it didn’t get soaked."
Chu River finally breathed a sigh of relief, looking at his sensible nephew, he asked: "Aunt now doesn’t want a dowry, but we need to save up for the bridal price—if you guys play your roles well, when aunt gets married, I’ll give each of you fifty cents and treat you to a meal at a state-run restaurant."
Selling grandpa’s land doesn’t hurt him at all.
The eldest nephew pounded his chest: "Aunt, don’t worry, I’ve told them everything."
"Are you going to start tonight? If you are, I’ll be ready in a bit!"
Chu River gave him a look of approval: "Hold on, I’ll first see how the family develops."
How will it develop?
In the living room, the Old Chu Family was a scene of joy.
"Mom, I’ve heard that the Shi Family’s third son sends home 20 dollars a month from the army, their family is rich."
Old Mrs. Chu snorted coldly.
"That old hag Zhao Xiuhua, does she think no one knows she’s using her younger son’s money to supplement the other two families? Otherwise, how could they build a big house with green bricks and tiles? Rich, but doesn’t necessarily mean she’ll give it to us."
"Mom, who cares about him! In this matter, our Little He suffers, they must compensate, so we have to ask for more dowry!"
...
The four Chu brothers exchanged glances and couldn’t help but rub their hands:
"Mom, what do you think... we ask for 100?"
dollars?!
The daughters-in-law drew a sharp breath.
However, Old Mrs. Chu laughed cunningly: "What do you know? Zhao Xiuhua is desperate to find a wife for their third son so they can control the younger one."
"100 dollars dowry? That’s too cheap for her."
"We should ask for 200!"
Though a bit reluctant.
After all, according to the original plan, they intended to keep this girl earning for a few more years at home, marrying her off at 20.
At that age, the girl is young and tender, the price can be higher, and demanding 200 dollars without considering others isn’t impossible.
But now, after enduring a long period of torment by a troublemaker, everyone just wanted to send her off as soon as possible.
