"Since it has come to this, just let her remarry as soon as possible. Didn’t the matchmaker come to visit just now? When she returns tomorrow, just accept the proposal and settle the bride price. There is no need for a wedding, just let them pay 30 yuan and take her away," Father Shi said coldly.
When he finished speaking, both Mother Shi and her sons were delighted. Their family’s house was old and needed to be repaired. With the bride price, they would be able to repair their house this year and no longer worry about it collapsing during winter.
The moment she heard this, Shi Qiwan looked at her parents, shook her head, and said tremblingly, "Mother, Father, I don’t want to get married."
Seeing her crying face, Mother Shi replied, "This is not something you can decide. Now that you are a divorced woman, you can only find another man to live your life with. You won’t be thinking of leeching off your brothers for the rest of your life, will you?"
Shi Qiwan opened her mouth, but no words came out. Since she was young, she and her sisters had always been taught that their existence was to assist their brothers. So, when they got married and got bullied, their brothers would be there to support them.
But now, it seemed that what her parents had told her was a lie. When she was bullied in the Liu family and divorced by her husband, her brothers did nothing to protect her. Instead, they took advantage and asked for compensation.
Thanks to that, now she wouldn’t be able to get any money from her husband since they had signed the divorce papers and cut all ties.
She had only returned for a few days, yet her family already found another man for her to marry. In their hearts, what exactly was her position?
When this thought flashed in her mind, she suddenly recalled her daughter’s words.
’Mother, Father and our family treat you so well. Why can’t you see our good intentions and insist on listening to your family’s instigation? If you continue down this path, you will regret it one day. When that day comes, you will only have yourself to blame.’
Closing her eyes, tears rolled down her cheeks as she whispered stubbornly, "No, I didn’t do anything wrong. It’s not my fault, it’s all Liu Pan and the Liu family’s fault!"
Seeing her sitting on the ground with her head lowered, Mother Shi thought that her daughter had finally stopped resisting. She glanced at her second daughter-in-law and said, "Second daughter-in-law, help your sister-in-law to her room to clean up and rest."
Then, she looked at her eldest daughter-in-law and said, "Eldest, go find the matchmaker and tell them that we agree to this marriage. As long as they pay 30 yuan as the bride price, they can come pick up the bride anytime."
The moment she heard this, Shi Qiwan looked at her mother in disbelief and said, "Mother, I don’t want to marry another man. I–"
"Mother, that is not what I wanted! It’s you and my brothers who asked for that money," Shi Qiwan replied in panic. frёewebnoѵēl.com
