Chapter 163: Chapter 159: Yao Shihua: I Want to Marry In! I’ll Even Pay to Marry In!

Thinking of this, Zhang Weihong gritted her teeth in anger.

She raised her hand and slapped again.

“Tell me, tell me what wicked thing you did.”

Yao Shihua shrank back, mumbling, “I went to break off the engagement.”

“And then?”

Yao Shihua was about to cry, “Then you asked me why I broke off the engagement, and I didn’t say.”

“Immediately after…”

This time, Yao Shihua learned his lesson and continued automatically, “Immediately after, I went crazy and jumped into the river. Boo hoo, Honghong, I was wrong, I was really wrong.

I won’t dare again, breaking off the engagement wasn’t my idea, I was, I was forced. My parents are so despicable, I’m afraid you’ll be bullied if you marry into my family.”

Zhang Weihong chuckled, looking at Yao Shihua coldly, “Are you sure, after marrying, the one being bullied would be me?”

Yao Shihua was taken aback.

“But, I’ve saved only fifty yuan all these years, really no more.

If we get married, what’s fifty yuan worth? I thought, rather than making you suffer with me, I’d set you free…”

“Snap~”

Wen Ran’s face scrunched up, awkwardly, “Uh, Weihong, don’t hit him, I, I feel…”

Feel the pain in my face.

“It’s okay, it’s okay,” Yao Shihua wasn’t angry at all, “Her hitting me means she’s not angry with me, if she ignored me completely, that would mean I’m doomed.”

Zhang Weihong kept a cold face, “Fine, stop saying so much. You’ve achieved your purpose now, I really thank you for making this happen.”

“No! No way! I regret it,” Yao Shihua shamelessly insisted, “I’ll marry into your family, you don’t have a son, right?

I’ll be your son, a son-in-law is half a son, if I marry in and change my surname, what’s the difference from having a biological son?!”

He asked and didn’t forget to answer himself, “None, absolutely none! Moreover, then everyone in our family would have the same surname, how great!”

“You’re dreaming.”

“Boo hoo hoo hoo, Honghong, I know I’m dreaming, but if you don’t let me marry in, I’ll go jump into the river and drown myself.”

Zhang Weihong stomped in anger, “Have some shame!”

“I have no shame, I won’t ask for a dowry, I’ll even contribute, I can give fifty yuan as dowry, really!”

Wen Ran and Bao Wenxuan glanced at each other, starting to feel quite settled.

Yeah, it’s just dog food, right?

So what?

Eat it!

It won’t kill us.

Wen Ran’s home door wasn’t closed, in barged an auntie and an uncle.

Judging by their looks, they seemed honest and straightforward. Wen Ran just stood up when Zhang Weihong exclaimed in surprise: “Dad, Mom, why are you here?”

“How could we not come?!”

Mrs. Zhang anxiously said, “News of someone jumping into the river has spread everywhere, saying it was a young man, even a stranger. Plus, you’ve been out for so long without coming home, how could we not be worried!”

“But, how did you find your way here?”

“Xie and his wife who keep ducks told us,” Mrs. Zhang replied, looking at the kneeling Yao Shihua, with all her dissatisfaction and resentment unable to be voiced.

“Child,” Mrs. Zhang felt bitter inside, “If you don’t want this, then let it go, you’re young, no need to end your life!”

Thinking of this, she felt some resentment too, unwilling to marry, then don’t marry.

Jumping into the river, what’s that about?

Those who don’t know might even think our Honghong is forcing him.

“Dad! Mom! I was wrong!”

Yao Shihua was quick to change tactics, releasing Zhang Weihong’s leg, kneeling with a thump before the Zhang elders, crying and snorting, “I was really wrong.

Boo hoo, Dad, Mom, please persuade Honghong, don’t let her leave me.”

Mr. and Mrs. Zhang were startled by those two “Dad, Mom,” “Wait, why are you calling us Dad and Mom? Don’t cry, get up and we’ll talk slowly.”

“I don’t want to leave Honghong, breaking off the engagement was because the Yao family is too difficult. They’ve decided not to help me with a penny, and even threatened that if I dare marry Honghong, they’ll ruin Honghong’s reputation.”

Yao Shihua was also heartbroken, thinking he had grown up in bitter waters.

Why drag Zhang Weihong into this?

He resolutely broke off the engagement, unwillingly left the Zhang family home, and without thinking, dove into the river.

Thinking that even if he couldn’t be together with Zhang Weihong, dying in the river in front of her house, perhaps, he could still see Zhang Weihong in dreams…

But the taste of death was truly unbearable.

After being rescued, when he saw Zhang Weihong again, as two slaps landed on his face, he suddenly saw things clearly, profoundly enlightened.

The Yao family was a pit of fire, but the Zhang family wasn’t.

If he couldn’t marry Honghong, then he’d marry into the Zhang family.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhang looked at Yao Shihua, suddenly not knowing what to say.

Plus, Yao Shihua’s proposal was indeed very tempting!

.

Mr. Zhang’s name was Zhang Chongxin, he joined the army in his early years, later retired due to injury and returned to his hometown to be a hunter.

On the mountain, he saved Mrs. Zhang, who was injured by an animal trap, and thus they bonded.

Before marrying Mrs. Zhang, he was honest about having suffered an injury, fearing they might find it difficult to have children in the future.

Mrs. Zhang looked at Mr. Zhang and thought, if no children, then no children.

If it doesn’t work, later when the young couple wants children, they could go back to her maiden family and ask her brother for one to raise.

Anyway, with many brothers, how could they lack a child?!

By luck, three years after marriage, Mrs. Zhang suddenly became pregnant.

The couple was overjoyed and invited Mrs. Zhang’s maiden family.

As for the reason…

The maiden family thought Mrs. Zhang cheated, planning to apologize and compensate Zhang Chongxin, then take her home.

Upon arrival, it turned out to be a misunderstanding, Zhang Chongxin and his brothers-in-law hugged and cried.

This was clearly divine intervention!

Ten months later, a baby was born.

Zhang Chongxin decided to name the child Zhang Weihong.

Zhang Weihong was the precious girl of the Zhang family couple, also the little bully of Mrs. Zhang’s maiden family, anyone who dared bully her had to consider if they could take a beating.

Cousins lined up in a row.

From childhood, the family instilled in her that if someone bullied Honghong, they should gang up.

Can’t kill them, then beat them to death.

Of course, Zhang Chongxin understood, if the child isn’t raised well, she would undoubtedly cause trouble with her daring personality.

The Zhang family, strict father, loving mother, both parents racked their brains to keep Zhang Weihong on the right track.

Because of this, Zhang Weihong developed a bold personality, quick to stand up against injustice.”

Zhang Chongxin pondered for a while, “Have you really thought about it? With me, once you agree, there’s no room for regret.”

Yao Shihua nodded like a chicken pecking rice, even looking hopeful, “I’ve thought it over, really thought it over.

I know I’ve acted recklessly before, it’s understandable you don’t believe me. I, I’ll write a guarantee letter, I swear, if ever in my life I don’t treat Honghong well, may I be struck by lightning, I won’t have a good…”

Before he finished, he received a slap.

Zhang Weihong stomped in anger, “This stinky mouth! Can’t say a single nice thing!”

“Boo hoo, Honghong, I knew you still…”

“Shut up!”

Zhang Chongxin laughed, these young people!
