Chapter 168: Wedding? Lu Shuangshuang was sold
"Boss, I beg you, can we not get divorced? I will definitely turn over a new leaf! I will never do anything wrong again and I will listen to you from now on!" Ge's energy was instantly drained away and she knelt at Lu Minghai's feet.
"This is not the first time you have done this, Ge. We are husband and wife, so please be a little respectful!" Lu Minghai turned around and stopped looking at her.
"Lu Minghai! Why am I like this? You are the culprit! We got married and had a baby, but ask yourself honestly, do you really treat me as your wife? I am alone in an empty room every day, what's the difference between me and a widow!" Ge shouted out all the grievances in her heart over the years at the top of her lungs.
When Yao Qingnian heard this, he suddenly thought of a story. After being married for many years, everything in the house was divided clearly. You are yours, I am mine. If your cup breaks, you would rather use the bowl than mine. It was you who said that you would be good to me for the rest of your life. The cold violence between husband and wife is more terrible than real violence.
Although I feel sorry for Mrs. Ge, this is not a reason for her to do such stupid things. There must be something hateful about a pitiful person.
"So, you have a hard time yourself, and you want your daughter to be the same as you?"
This sentence made Ge silent...
Finally, she signed the divorce agreement, handed over the silver, and left the Lu family without looking back.
On the second day, Lao Guantou brought people to the Lu family to pick up the bride. They came with hammers and bangs along the way, carrying the bridal sedan. When they arrived at the entrance of the village, they asked, "Fellow villagers, may I ask where is Lu Shuangshuang's home?"
"What are you doing?" The villagers looked at the wedding procession behind him.
"I'm here to get married!" Old Guantou's face was full of joy.
The villagers pointed at Lu Minghai's house...
Lao Guantou thanked him and rode his horse over there. When he arrived at Lu Minghai's house, he saw the door was closed. "Open the door!"
"Who is it?" After the autumn harvest, Lu Shuangshuang went back to the embroidery workshop to work. Lu Minghai was still immersed in his divorce with Ge. He was feeling depressed when he heard someone knocking on the door and went out.
He saw a man in a bright red wedding dress outside the door, leading a horse. He looked to be about the same age as him, and there was a team beating drums and gongs following behind him. He had a bad feeling.
"My son-in-law greets my father-in-law." Lao Guantou looked at Lu Minghai in front of him and shouted without feeling embarrassed at all.
The noise they made was so loud that it soon attracted the villagers.
"What nonsense are you talking about! Who is your father-in-law!" Lu Minghai was extremely angry and his face turned red.
"Father-in-law, my mother-in-law asked me to come and pick up the bride today. Please call my wife out quickly! Don't miss the auspicious time." Lao Guantou was unmoved and continued.
The villagers pointed and talked, and soon someone went to the embroidery workshop: "Lu Shuangshuang, Lao Guangu has come to your house to pick up the bride, why don't you go back and take a look."
Lu Shuangshuang paused in his work and didn't feel the needle in his hand at all.
"Shuangshuang?" Aunt Jinhua waved her hand in front of her.
She came to her senses, stopped what she was doing, and rushed home. Liu Jinhua hurried back and called the village chief and others over.
"You are my daughter-in-law, right? Well... you are not very good-looking, but don't worry, I will not treat you unfairly. As long as you give birth to a boy or a girl for me, all our family property will be his." Lao Guantou was a slightly fat man with thick lips and an elusive meaning at the corners of his mouth. He had a carefully trimmed beard under his chin. He looked Lu Shuangshuang up and down. He ran a small business and had some assets.
"Who is your wife!" Lu Shuangshuang roared, trembling all over.
"Look, it's written in black on red paper. My birth date is clearly written on the Engagement Letter, and there's also a handwritten receipt. Do you still want to deny it?" Lao Guantou took out the Engagement Letter and the receipt and showed them to everyone.
This Ge is too inhumane, she even sold her own daughter! Pah! Divorce is too easy for her, she should be divorced!
"Sir, that was signed between Ge and you. She and I have already divorced. This matter has nothing to do with us." Lu Minghai knew he was in the wrong, so he spoke to Lao Guantou in a gentle voice.
"That's none of my business. The betrothal gifts have been paid and the engagement papers have been exchanged. You can't say no! Get on the bridal sedan today, or I'll go to the government and sue you for marriage fraud!"
"My daughter is still so young, she is really not a good match for you. How about this: I will return the betrothal money and apologize in public. What do you think?" They were not in the right in this matter, and it was their fault if they brought the case to the government.
"I have experienced many vicissitudes of life, and have developed a deep charm. We are both in our prime youth and full of lively vitality. The two complement each other and are a perfect match." He raised the corners of his mouth and his eyes flashed with pride.
Lu Minghai was being humble, but people didn't buy it at all.
"This gentleman has great literary talent, as he describes the old cow eating young grass so well." Yao Qingnian stepped forward and applauded.
"Who is Lao Niu? A man is in his prime at the age of forty. Where did you come from, girl? Go away and stop meddling in other people's business." Old Guantou was very unhappy when he saw Yao Qingnian appearing.
"Marriage is impossible. You are both at the same age. If she marries you, her life will be ruined. Just tell me what you want!" Yao Qingnian said straight to the point.
"Master Guan, I am the village chief. What our villagers did was not right. Qing Nian is right. If you have any requests, please let me know. As long as they are not excessive, I will let the Lu family do their best to satisfy you." The village chief also stood up at this time.
"It's okay to cancel the engagement..." He thought for a moment and then spoke.
"What do you say?" Seeing that Lao Guantou had given in, Lu Minghai thought there was room for maneuver.
"If you compensate me with a wife and let me take her away today, the matter will be over." Lao Guantou said calmly.
"This..." Isn't this obviously embarrassing? Where can I find a wife for him today? Besides, who would dare to marry Lao Guantu, given his reputation as a wife-killer?
"If you can't do it, hand the person over immediately!" said Lao Guantou impatiently.
"Shuangshuang can't marry you because she is engaged to someone else." When Yao Qingnian said this, the villagers were all shocked. They had never heard that Lu Shuangshuang had said anything about someone else?
"You guys can think of any tricks to break off the engagement. This is the marriage that Lu Shuangshuang's mother came to discuss with me personally. Today, she has to marry, whether she wants to or not!"
"Shuangshuang is my wife, she can't marry you! She is already engaged to me." A young man stood out from the crowd. It was Aunt Chunhua's son, Lin Shuiqiang.
"Huh?" The onlookers were shocked.
The thing is, Lin Shuiqiang and Lu Shuangshuang have been childhood sweethearts, and they both expressed their feelings long ago, but Aunt Chunhua disagreed. With a mother like Ge, they would be making trouble every other day, and it would be impossible for them to live a peaceful life.
Aunt Chunhua was busy finding a wife for her son because she didn't want him to be with Lu Shuangshuang. She thought that once he got married and the matter was settled, the two of them would be able to give up. However, what happened with Luo Yaqin, and her son's marriage was delayed again.
