Chapter 143: Chapter 144 Unwilling to Marry Anyone Else_1
Zheng Shi’s face darkened instantly. Is that something a young lady should say?
And to insist on marrying no one but Tan Zhenghong?
If others heard this, who knows how they would gossip about her? Isn’t she just asking to be laughed at?
"Why won’t you listen, child? What’s so good about Tan Zhenghong? After the division of the family assets, he was left with only three acres of land. Marry him and you’ll be left to the mercy of the northwest wind. Then you can wear rough clothes and forget about ever wanting fragrance paste for washing your face and hands!"
As her mother, what am I doing if not considering what’s best for Yu’er? But why can’t this girl understand?
Her heart is glued to Tan Zhenghong all day long, but what’s so good about that Tan Zhenghong?
He’s just a bit better looking, but can good looks be eaten like food?
After marrying over, what can you do with just those three miserable acres? When the time comes that you can’t eat your fill or dress warmly, will you be comfortable?
And speaking of Tan Zhenghong, the last time he broke his leg, and what about next time? Maybe he won’t even make it back alive, and there you’ll be, left a widow to live an even harder life!
That’s why, no matter what I consider, I will not allow my daughter to marry Tan Zhenghong.
Xiao Biyu pouted and walked into the room with an upset expression on her face.
She had liked Tan Zhenghong for so long; if she couldn’t marry him, she would never be happy in this lifetime!
Zheng Shi kept muttering from behind: "That Tan Zhenghong is already married. If you go there now, you would be nothing but a concubine. Aren’t you ashamed?"
Xiao Biyu sat down on a stool with a thud: "I don’t care about that. If I can’t marry Brother Hong, I might as well die!" 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝖚𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪
"Yu’er, what nonsense are you talking about?" Zheng Shi’s voice involuntarily rose.
Stubbornness flared up in Xiao Biyu as she said on the spot, "If you don’t let me marry, then just wait to collect my corpse!"
"Even if you died, I would never agree!"
Having said that, Zheng Shi, leaving behind the fragrance paste, went out.
She was afraid Xiao Biyu would sneak off to the Tan Family again, so she specifically found a lock and locked the room door.
Unless Xiao Biyu grew wings, she definitely would not be able to go out.
Xiao Biyu’s eyes reddened, and tears of grievance immediately began to fall. Her crying gradually grew louder until it became a loud wail.
She had never felt so wronged in all her years of life; even her mother was sending her to death, so what was the point of living?
She just liked Tan Zhenghong, was that a crime?
Why didn’t any of her family members support her?
Xiao Lingchuan, who had just entered the door, asked, "Mother, why is little sister crying? Go and check on her quickly!"
Grinding her teeth, Zheng Shi explained the situation to her eldest son, and when she finished, Xiao Lingchuan’s face turned frighteningly dark.
"Mother, you must speak properly to Yu’er about this matter. We’ve all been hoping for her to marry into town and live a comfortable life."
Zheng Shi nodded, "I know, I won’t let her make a fool of herself."
After a while, the rain started falling again.
The Xiao Family members were all at home, so it was a good opportunity for everyone to sit together and discuss the matter.
They just couldn’t understand it—how could a fine young lady become so fixated on a married man?
"Good for nothing!" Zheng Shi couldn’t help but curse.
Xiao Dazhi glared at Zheng Shi: "Is that how a mother should act? Your daughter is already so upset, and instead of comforting her, you sit here making cold remarks!"
"Haven’t I tried to persuade her? Yu’er won’t listen, what can I do?"
Who doesn’t know Xiao Biyu’s temperament? If she could be persuaded, would Zheng Shi be this anxious?
After Zheng Shi said this, everyone fell silent. Once Xiao Biyu set her mind on something, it was hard to change it, and Xiao Dazhi’s face was filled with misery.
No one knows a daughter better than her father. How could Xiao Dazhi not be clear about what kind of person Xiao Biyu was?
