Chapter 91

Mrs. Li quickly said, “Xia Yunge, I’ll let you marry my son, but I can’t afford a dowry. Don’t slander me in front of others and say I’m mistreating you.”

“Everyone knows our situation. My husband died early, and I have to raise my son and daughter. I’ve finally raised them, and I really can’t afford a dowry.”

The people around were speechless. Everyone knew that this old woman had sold her daughters and had a lot of money. She was just being stingy and unwilling to spend money. She knew that Xia Yunge had already slept with Er Laizi, and who else could she marry besides him? She was just putting on airs.

Mrs. Lizi thought, “She’s ugly, but that’s fine. I’m getting a daughter-in-law for free. I’ll just suffer a little and reluctantly agree to let her in.”

“She slept with my Tie Dan last night. If she gets pregnant, it’s my grandson. Humph, that little b*tch better be good and give me ten or eight grandsons. If she dares to give birth to a daughter, I’ll strangle her.”

The captain asked, “Xia Dayong, Yun Guilan, have you really decided to cut off ties with this girl? Think carefully now. Don’t regret it later.”

“And Xia Yunge, have you also decided to cut off ties with your parents and brother? I’m telling you, this is not a joke. Once the disinheritance document is stamped, it takes effect immediately.”

“I think you’re all too full and have nothing to do. You have to give me something to do, right? You’re just trying to make yourselves feel better, aren’t you?”

Xia Guoyan: “Captain, what’s there to ask? Cut off ties with that dead girl immediately. Do we have to keep her at home to eat for free?”

The captain: “His eyes are about to burst into flames. You stinky boy, I’m asking your parents, not you. You can’t speak for your parents now. Just stand there and listen. Why are you butting in? Do you think you’re so smart?”

Xia Dayong and Yun Guilan looked at each other. They were also masters of acting, and tears came to their eyes. “Captain, we have no choice.  Brother Yun discovered this, and besides marrying Er Laizi, what else can we do, we who work the land?”

“It’s not that we’re heartless parents, but we have to feel sorry for ourselves, who are about to be buried in the soil. Our son still needs to marry a wife. You all have children. You wouldn’t want your sons to be unable to marry a wife because of this, would you?”

“What kind of face would we have to see the ancestors of the Xia family when we die? Wouldn’t we be the sinners of the Xia family?”

“But  Brother Yun is also our daughter, we’ve raised her for so long, and we can’t bear to see her go astray. After discussing it with her mother, we decided to give her 20 yuan as a dowry so she can marry Laizi. Her life will be better.”

“We parents are useless, we can only do this much. We hope Brother Yun won’t resent us. This is our life savings. We haven’t dared to use it, we’ve saved it by being frugal.”

“As her father, I sincerely wish Brother Yun a better life after marrying Laizi. Even if you’re cruel and don’t recognize your father and mother, you’re still our daughter in our hearts.”

The other villagers also thought the same way. Their sons were their lifeblood, they needed to carry on the family line. If they really sacrificed their daughter for their son, and their son couldn’t marry a wife, they would break their daughter’s legs.

The villagers whispered among themselves, “Xia Dayong is still a man. Even though his daughter wants to cut off ties with him, he still gave her 20 yuan as a dowry. If it were them, they wouldn’t give her a dime.”

Xia Dayong wanted this effect. He wanted the villagers to see that even though Xia Yunge had done such a shameless thing, he, as her father, was still magnanimous and gave her a dowry.

He was thinking about the future. Who knows, maybe this dead girl will get lucky and become successful later, and he can bask in her glory. If he were too harsh now, if this dead girl became successful, she wouldn’t recognize him as her father.

If this dead girl really had bad luck and her life got worse, then he would consider it as preserving their father-daughter relationship. Anyway, he could afford 20 yuan.

Xia Yunge’s anger was like a fire. She didn’t expect her father, who seemed so honest, to be such a good actor. No one could see through him.

She worked like a cow and a horse in that family, working hard for ten years. They dismissed her with 20 yuan. Did they really think she was a beggar?

Xia Yunge closed her eyes and then opened them, wiping away her tears. “Captain, I’m willing to cut off ties. Since they don’t want me, I can split my work points. That’s not unreasonable, is it?”

“They can’t take all the good things and then kick me out and still use my work points. That wouldn’t make sense anywhere.”

Oh, Xia Yunxuan was very happy. Let them bite each other. The fiercer the bite, the better. They should become sworn enemies. She didn’t expect Xia Yunge to be smart today and know to split her work points.

That family was lazy to death. They usually earned a few work points, barely enough to eat. If Xia Yunge split her work points, that family would probably starve.

Xia Dayong and Yun Guilan were startled. They didn’t expect this dead girl to be smart today and do something so decisive. Since she wanted to split her work points, they knew that without her earning work points, they could barely eat.

Their two sons were too greedy, they ate so much, they never had enough food, they didn’t earn many work points, and they always ate frugally. How could they be full?

Now they lost the dead girl’s work points, they would have to tighten their belts even more. But since they had already said it, they couldn’t take the dead girl’s work points.

The captain asked in a rogue way, “Dayong, what do you think? If you agree, I’ll call the accountant to calculate  Brother Yun’s work points.”

Xia Dayong: “Captain, since  Brother Yun wants to split, let her split. We parents and brother will just tighten our belts and eat less. As long as  Brother Yun lives well and is happy, we don’t mind suffering a little.”

“Tsk tsk,” Xia Yunxuan whispered, “This second uncle is actually an old green tea. He speaks with a strong green tea flavor. Was he born in the wrong gender?”

The captain was too lazy to care about who was right or wrong. He immediately called the accountant to calculate Xia Yunge’s work points. Whether she wanted money or grain, he would give it to her immediately.

He had solved one problem, but there was another one. What a headache. Why were there so many things happening every day?
