"But your parents are stubborn," they absolutely refuse to agree to this marriage arrangement. Today, they even went to sell their blood in order to gather three thousand yuan to repay the Wu Family..."
No wonder Wu Jinshu and Yan Erju looked so pale.
They had gone to sell their blood.
Wu Yanyun couldn’t describe the taste in her heart.
But she didn’t want to marry Wu Qiang.
Wu Qiang was old enough to be her father, and he even had two children...
She wanted to go to school, she wanted to go to college...
Wu Yanyun ’thumped’ to her knees, "Grandma, please, don’t make me marry Wu Qiang, okay? I don’t want to marry Wu Qiang, I want to study, and once I get into college, I’ll lead our family to a better life."
Grandma Wu looked at Wu Yanyun coldly, her words piercing:
"Don’t you understand what I said? I’m not your grandma! You’re just a child we picked up! Your parents have raised you until now, they’ve done their duty! Not only do you not think about repaying their kindness, you even want us to pay for your education, how can you be so shameless?"
She wasn’t their own...
She was picked up...
She had no right to ask for these things.
Wu Yanyun instantly ran out of words, with tears streaming down her face.
Grandma Wu continued: "Look at how poor our family is, do you think we have money for you to go to school? To let you go to school, Dalong and Erlong have never even set foot in a school! Your parents even went to sell their blood to raise money! Can’t you see all this? They don’t share a single drop of blood relation with you, yet they’ve done so much, don’t you feel moved at all? Don’t you want to repay their kindness?"
Repay their kindness?
Her parents had raised her for so long, she certainly should repay them...
Grandma Wu sighed, "That small western-style house with a yard up ahead, your parents couldn’t afford it even if they worked for twenty years, but you just need to nod, and that house could be ours. It’s just marriage, isn’t it? Which girl doesn’t get married? Besides, you owe the Wu Family! If it weren’t for me, you would have died long ago! The grass over your grave would be two meters tall!"
"If you’re a sensible good child, you’ll go talk to your parents yourself. Tell them you’re willing to marry Wu Qiang, that no one is forcing you! Don’t make it difficult for your parents! They’re already not in good health, and they actually went to sell their blood today. What if something happens to them, can you live with your conscience?"
"And," Grandma Wu seemed to remember something, "I heard from Dalong that some rich lady gave you two bags of new clothes, right?" fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
