"If I don't get married, you won't recognize me as my daughter, then I respect your choice." Li Rou tightened her hands on the clothes on Zhou Sheng's chest, her face was pale and bloodless.
Her heart ached and she was disappointed with her parents' behavior.
Her parents never consider her point of view, so does she still need to maintain this poor relationship between her parents?
No!
She doesn't want to!
She pushed Zhou Sheng away, looked at her parents calmly and said, "I won't marry, let alone apologize!"
Li Dashan and Lin Xiaoqiu saw that Li Rou was very determined, and their faces became extremely dark.
"Unfilial daughter, I have raised you in vain!" Lin Xiaoqiu pointed at Li Rou and said in a disappointed tone.
Li Dashan was angry and yelled louder: "You are just a white-eyed wolf! I can make money even if I feed a pig, but what can you do for this family? Are you not willing to get married? You
Do you want to spend your whole life eating and drinking at home and waiting to die?"
These words were so hurtful that Li Rou felt like someone was cutting her heart with a knife, which was so painful that she couldn't breathe.
She gave a stiff smile and asked, "So you just use me in exchange for the bride price, so that your support for me for so many years is not in vain, right?"
Li Dashan and Lin Xiaoqiu looked at each other, with complicated expressions in their eyes.
"We have raised you so much, so what's wrong with asking you to exchange some gift money?" Li Dashan did not deny it, and thought it was a matter of course, "You should pay for this family, you have to..."
Originally, he wanted to say something else, but Lin Xiaoqiu pulled his sleeve, and he took back his more extreme words.
Li Rou smiled bitterly, even though her father hadn't finished speaking, she already understood the meaning.
She took a few deep breaths and then said: "I understand, you don't need to say anything anymore."
"Sister, don't take it to heart. What your parents say when they are angry doesn't count." Li Buqin interjected and persuaded, "Besides, your parents hope that you will live a good life in the future, because the Deng family has good conditions and can provide
You have a secure life.”
"You really want me to marry into the Deng family, and then take the gift money to marry a wife with peace of mind!" Li Rou said intimidatingly to Li Buqin.
When Li Buqin heard this, his face suddenly changed. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he still swallowed it.
Zhou Sheng frowned and patted Li Rou's shoulder comfortingly, feeling helpless for her.
In rural areas, the idea of favoring sons over daughters is very serious, and the old habit of parents' orders and matchmaking decisions determines life-long events. Indeed, many women's bride price will be swallowed up by their parents and given to their sons as wives.
Used from time to time.
Li Rou is an independent-minded woman, at least unwilling to submit to her parents' arrangements.
For a moment, everyone was speechless, and the flowing air was tense.
Everyone stood stiffly for a long time. Zhou Sheng couldn't bear it anymore, so he pulled Li Rou away.
Li Dashan and Lin Xiaoqiu did not stop it. This matter will take time to digest.
Zhou Sheng and Li Rou returned to the room.
"Don't be sad. As long as the Deng family cares about reputation, they will not marry you. I believe that no one will dare to marry you in a short time." Zhou Sheng comforted Li Rou, because they deliberately spread the rumors outside.
When they learned that someone from the Deng family was coming, they deliberately appeared in front of the Deng family in an intimate manner, which aroused their resentment.
As long as the Deng family cares about reputation, they will not marry Li Rou.
Li Rou smiled bitterly and said sadly: "I know, but it hurts in my heart. They are my parents, but they are all about money from the beginning to the end."
