"Sisi, you just play in the yard obediently today and don't run around, do you understand?"
Today is Lu Zaimin's fiftieth birthday, and many relatives and friends will come. Lu Xueqing has to help her mother prepare the banquet. She has been busy since morning and can't get away.
"Mom, but I want to go out and play." Lu Sisi looked out the door with some yearning.
Everything in the countryside was new to Lu Sisi, especially the things that other children in the village played with that she had never seen before, which naturally made her extremely curious.
"But..." Lu Xueqing was still a little worried.
"Sister, our village is only a palm-sized piece of land, and we are all acquaintances, so what are you afraid of?" Just then Lu Ping walked out of the house and said, "If you are really worried, I can take her out to play.
A moment."
"Oh well."
Although Lu Ping is a bit of a bastard, he is Lu Sisi's biological uncle anyway, and there is no reason to harm his niece.
In this way, Lu Sisi asked Lu Ping to take him out, while Lu Xueqing began to help her mother prepare the banquet.
Soon, relatives of the Lu family arrived one after another, plus other neighbors in the village. A large group of people almost filled the whole yard, which was very lively.
"Come on, come on, everyone, please take a seat."
At this time, Lu Xueqing took out melon seed candies and other recreational items from the house and said hello.
"Hey, isn't this Xue Qing?"
"I haven't seen you for a few years, and she looks beautiful again."
"Yes, a girl has undergone a major transformation, unlike my daughter who has become disabled directly."
Seeing Lu Xueqing, many people who recognized her sighed.
"Everyone, please stop putting gold in my face."
Lu Xueqing felt a little embarrassed for everyone to say.
"If you don't go to the kitchen to help your mother cook, do you want to tire her to death by herself?"
At this moment, Lu Zaimin walked out and scolded him coldly.
Hearing this, the smile on Lu Xueqing's face froze, and waves of sadness arose in her heart.
She knew that everything last night was just a flash in the pan. Lu Zaimin was still the familiar Lu Zaimin and could not change.
"I mean, Zaimin, she is your daughter after all. It wouldn't be nice to scold her like this in front of so many of us, right?"
At this moment, an old voice sounded, Grandma Wang had arrived.
"It's my business how I want to teach my daughter, and it's not anyone else's turn to interfere!"
Seeing this old woman, Lu Zaimin's face was slightly gloomy, because this old guy had many quarrels with Lu Xueqing's family when she was young because of Lu Xueqing's affairs.
How worthy is an outsider to interfere in their family's affairs?
"snort!"
Hearing this, Grandma Wang snorted coldly, and instead of talking to the unreasonable Lu Zaimin, she came to Lu Xueqing's side and asked in a low voice: "Why haven't you left yet?"
"I'll leave after dinner." Lu Xueqing said.
"But when I first came here, why did I see Sisi being taken away by Lu Ping?" Grandma Wang asked in confusion.
"Oh, that's it. Si wants to go out and play, but I don't have time, so I let him keep an eye on her first."
"But they seemed to have left in a car." Grandma Wang hesitated to speak.
"By car?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Xueqing's expression changed and she was about to rush out of the house.
But at this moment, there were roaring firecrackers outside, and then a group of people came to the front, hugging a man in red.
I saw this man with a sinister face and a mountain-like body directly blocking Lu Xueqing's path.
"My father-in-law, I'm here!"
He made a rough voice, and then he took a box from his hand and said, "I brought the gift money, where is my wife?"
"Your wife is here."
A smile appeared on Lu Zaimin's face, and he quickly pulled Lu Xueqing to Lao Hei.
"What a beauty!"
Seeing Lu Xueqing without makeup, Lao Hei's eyes lit up and he almost shed tears.
He has been running around a lot these years, but this is the first time he has seen a woman as beautiful as Lu Xueqing.
Last night, Lu Zaimin and his son found him overnight and expressed their willingness to marry their daughter to him, so he couldn't wait to rush from home early this morning just to see the beauty of his wife.
Now it seems that he spent the money well.
"Dad, you...what are you talking about?"
Hearing the conversation between the two of them, Lu Xueqing's expression changed drastically and she quickly broke away from her father's hand.
"Didn't you say yesterday that you were divorced? So your brother and I discussed it and decided to help you arrange a marriage!"
Lu Zaimin introduced: "Lao Hei is the famous richest man in our neighboring village. You won't suffer any loss by marrying her."
"Yes, as long as you follow me, I'll make sure you have a good time, drink spicy food, and be a bride every night." Lao Hei grinned, showing his teeth that were yellowed by smoke.
"I told you, I won't get married!"
Lu Xueqing never expected that her father and brother would take the initiative to help her arrange her marriage.
His face turned cold for a moment.
No wonder they changed from their normal behavior yesterday and were extremely enthusiastic about themselves. Unexpectedly, there was a bigger conspiracy behind all this.
"What's going on?"
At this moment, Yao Xiujing walked out of the kitchen. She was obviously unaware of her husband and son's decision, and she looked confused at the moment.
"Mom, dad wants me to get married, but I don't know this person at all."
Said Lu Xueqing pointed at Lao Hei, causing Yao Xiujing's expression to change immediately.
"You...why are you here?"
Yao Xiujing's voice was a little trembling.
Because the person who came turned out to be their family's creditor.
He had come to collect debts several times, but whenever he couldn't get the money, they would smash things in the house. Once, they even poured blood on their door. Yao Xiujing was so angry that she was admitted to the town hospital.
"Mother-in-law, I'm here today to propose marriage to you two elders."
As he spoke, he showed the box in his hand and said: "There is a total of 120,000 cash in this box. As long as you agree to marry your daughter to me, you will not only get the money, but the debt your family owed me before will also be paid."
It can be written off in one stroke!”
"How about it?"
"Is this a good deal?"
“A good deal.”
Hearing this, Lu Zaimin's eyes narrowed as he smiled, and he quickly took the box and said, "I declare that from now on, my daughter will be your wife!"
"What a nonsense!"
Hearing this, Grandma Wang couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Who doesn't know that this old black guy is a notoriously evil person? You actually handed your daughter over to him for money. Are you still a human being?"
"Yes, her father, we have to discuss this matter with our daughter first." Yao Xiujing also said at the same time.
"discuss?"
"I am her father, who do I need to discuss with?" Lu Zaimin smiled sarcastically and said, "I have raised her for more than 20 years, shouldn't she repay me in return?"
"Don't get involved in this matter, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to you!"
Lu Zaimin's face was full of threats, and Yao Xiujing shrank her neck in fright, not daring to speak any more.
She is such a person. Once her husband is angry, she dare not speak. This was the case when Lu Xueqing got married.
"You talk about selling your daughter so openly, I think you are simply unworthy of being a human being!"
Grandma Wang couldn't listen anymore and was so angry that her whole body was shaking.
"Snapped!"
But as soon as she finished speaking, she was slapped hard on the face, knocking her to the ground.
"Damn old woman, you dare to interfere in my old black affairs, you want to die, don't you?"
