Chapter 46 : You won’t go back to your parents’ home anymore?

This time, Jiang Yonghua and Wang Meili didn’t come empty-hande, they brought the conditions that Jiang Yu had proposed.

“There’s only two hundred, and that’s because I had to cause a scene at the Du family and also got some from the Fu family to make it up,” Wang Meili placed twenty bills on the table.

She curled her fingers, secretly gauging Jiang Yu’s reaction.

In fact, the amounts given by the Du and Fu families added up to over three hundred.

Wang Meili initially only wanted to give Jiang Yu a hundred, but Jiang Yonghua, worried she wouldn’t agree, insisted on adding another hundred.

Wang Meili still had over a hundred left, thinking it was worth it to let Jiang Hao suffer for a few days. Later, she could coax Jiang Yu to get the money back, and everyone would be happy.

Jiang Yu remained composed, this actually exceeded her expectations.

She had only hoped to receive a hundred.

“We’ve called the captain and the secretary over, if you want, you can sign the agreement right away and take charge of your own marriage from now on,” Wang Meili quickly added.

Jiang Yu glanced at the captain. It was thanks to his son that she had fallen into Jiang Ting’s trap.

Jiang Ting had said, “My parents found a good match for my sister, but she doesn’t appreciate it and doesn’t want to marry. My parents want to find a way to bring her back home.”

The captain’s son had agreed to this.

Why did he agree? Because in their view, parents have the authority to decide their daughters’ marriages.

Even if the Du family wasn’t well-off, if the parents said she should marry, she had to.

In Nanghe Village, girls like Jiang Yu who had attended junior high school were extremely rare.

According to their reasoning, “Why should girls study? They should learn to do housework and wait to get married when they grow up.”

But Jiang Yu had given the captain some face by not holding his son responsible.

After all, he was the captain, and she might need his help in the future.

“I’ve already written the agreement, it just needs your and the secretary’s approval. If there are no issues, please sign and leave your thumbprint,” Jiang Yu said, taking out the document without delay.

The expressions on the captain and the secretary’s faces became quite complicated.

They naturally felt that Jiang Yu was being extremely unreasonable, even heartless, to send her own brother in.

Yet they felt helpless; they couldn’t let Jiang Hao remain imprisoned forever.

The older secretary couldn’t help but advise, “Jiang Yu, things have become quite tense this time. Will you never return to your parents’ home again?”

Jiang Yu smirked slightly, finding his words quite contemptible.

“If my parents still recognize me, I would naturally return and fulfill my duties as a daughter.”

The secretary snorted coldly, “I was asking about your brother! After your parents pass away, the only ones left in your family will be your brother. Can he still let you return to your parents’ home?”

Jiang Yu replied calmly, “I don’t need a brother who can sell me at any time. If that’s the case, I’d rather not go back.”

The secretary was so furious he was gasping, “Remember what you just said! You might not even be able to marry into the city. Even if you do, can you guarantee that your husband will treat you well for a lifetime? If you get bullied later, don’t come crying back home, no one will stand up for you!”

To him, there was really no need for things to get this tense.

In Nanghe Village, which girl didn’t marry by her parents’ orders? They were raised by their families, and marrying was their only path, whoever they married, they married.

Jiang Yu scoffed, “Aside from Jiang Hao and my family, no one would dare bully me.”

The secretary stopped responding to her, signing his name on the agreement in frustration before storming off.

The captain sighed, since Jiang Yu had spared his useless son previously, he felt he had to return the favor.

After signing the agreement, Jiang Yu put the money away, and only then did he speak.

“Let’s go to the police station and get Jiang Hao and Jiang Ting released.”

Wang Meili nodded repeatedly, “Right, let’s head to the police station first!”

Her poor son must have suffered quite a bit.

Jiang Yu had already gotten what she wanted, so she wouldn’t go back on her word.

With both sides reaching an agreement, Jiang Hao and Jiang Ting were released.

As for the Du family, due to the serious nature of their case and the involvement of Du Tianxiong, they would face harsher consequences and couldn’t be released.

Jiang Yu didn’t wait with Wang Meili for them to come out, she took a car back to the city directly.

With the fresh two hundred in hand, she wanted to treat herself to something nice.

Jiang Yu was a hedonist, money should be saved, but things should also be bought.

“Fei fei, do you have any defective fabric over there?”

Xie Fei fei shook her head, “This stuff is more scarce than good fabric. Sometimes it’s all gone within the textile factory, and by the time it leaks out to us, there’s hardly any left. We only sell it when we can’t divide it internally.”

Fabric is a lot like meat, everyone rushes to grab it, especially the ones that don’t require tickets.

Jiang Yu felt a bit disappointed. “Looks like it’s impossible for me to make a new dress.”

Xie Fei fei was curious, “Did you get some manuscript fees?”

“No, I haven’t submitted anything recently.”

“Then where did you get the money?”

“I agreed to let Jiang Hao and Jiang Ting come out, and my parents compensated me, they got the money from the Fu and Du families.”

Xie Fei fei gave her a thumbs-up, impressed by Jiang Yu’s clever maneuver.

To get Jiang Hao and Jiang Ting released so easily was quite a win for them.

“Wait here, I’ll see if I can find you some fabric.”

Jiang Yu smiled, “Just pick something nice, I don’t mind having more.”

Xie Fei fei almost got lost in her dazzling smile and playfully rolled her eyes.

“Having fabric is good enough, you’re quite picky!”

Jiang Yu quickly replied, “I’m not picky, just having it is fine.”

After Jiang Yu left, Xie Fei fei turned to He Feiyan to discuss this matter.

“Weren’t you saying before that your classmate’s mom works in the textile factory? Can you ask her if there’s any defective fabric? Jiang Yu wants to buy some.”

Xie Fei fei initially felt a bit embarrassed, this request was actually somewhat difficult. However, He Feiyan readily agreed, sounding enthusiastic.

“I’ll make sure to get some for Sister Jiang Yu, you can count on me.” He Feiyan patted her chest confidently.

Her overly eager attitude surprised Xie Fei fei.

“Is it really that easy to get fabric these days?”

He Feiyan finally realized she had promised too quickly and hurried to explain, “It’s not the first time Sister Jiang Yu has asked me for help. Last time, she helped me with my manuscript, and I want to do something for her in return.”

“Oh, well, do your best. It’s better if there are no tickets, she probably doesn’t have any fabric tickets either,” Xie Fei fei reminded.

He Feiyan readily agreed, “Got it.”

Of course, she had no ability to procure fabric herself, and if her classmate’s mom had any fabric, she would have informed her long ago.

Thus, He Feiyan didn’t think too much about it and directly approached He Tingyue for help.

“Brother, the opportunity is right in front of you, it all depends on how you perform.”

He Tingyue pondered for a moment, “We have defective fabric. How much do you need?”

He Feiyan’s eyes widened, “How much can there be? Why didn’t you tell me about this channel before?”

He Tingyue looked at her with a blank expression, “Can you sew?”

With such a large sewing machine at home, none of the four family members knew how to sew.

Whenever clothes tore, it was a hassle to even stitch them up.

The family mostly bought ready-made clothes and rarely made their own, let alone buy fabric.
