Rebirth of a Village Girl

Chapter 839: 211: I want to divorce you! _5

"This is the betrothal money, how did it become money for selling oneself? The conditions of the Wu Qiang family are so good, it’s her blessing that she can marry into that family! As the saying goes, marrying well is all about having clothes to wear and food to eat. If a girl can marry a bit better, she can enjoy her later life! I’m not harming her! You two make it sound like I’m some kind of a great villain! Alright! I’ll be the villain then!"

At this point, Wu Grandma continued, "What’s wrong with buying your sister a bicycle and a sewing machine? That’s what you owe your sister! When your sister got married, I secretly gave all her dowry money to you two! She didn’t even get a proper wedding dowry!"

Wu Jinshu immediately broke into tears, hugging his head and sitting on the ground, "Mom, you’re really making it impossible for us to live! To tell you the truth, Erju and I sold our blood today! No matter what, I won’t let Yanyun marry someone else as a stepmother!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Grandma was shocked, "What? You really went to sell blood?"

No wonder she thought Wu Jinshu seemed a bit off; so he had gone to sell his blood.

It seems that wild girl really can’t be kept!

She’s a curse!

Her presence disturbs the peace of the old Wu Family.

Wu Jinshu nodded, "We really did, so mom, I’ll accept you buying Jinjin a bicycle and a sewing machine. Can you give me the rest of that money? Together we can come up with enough to call off this arranged marriage."

It’s too late to argue over the bicycle and the sewing machine now.

Wu Grandma sighed, "You go out first, I’ll think it over."

Seeing Wu Grandma finally softening, Wu Jinshu breathed a sigh of relief and immediately stood up from the ground, "Mom, you think about it, I won’t disturb you anymore."

"You go out," Wu Grandma waved her hand.

When Wu Jinshu came out from Wu Grandma’s room, Yan Erju asked anxiously, "How did it go? What did your mom say?"

Wu Jinshu said, "My mom isn’t an utterly ruthless person, she agreed to think about it. After all, Yanyun is her granddaughter."

Hearing this, Yan Erju also sighed with relief.

At dinner, Wu Grandma still didn’t join the table. Wu Yanyun noticed Wu Jinshu and Yan Erju’s complexions looking bad and asked, "Dad, Mom, are you okay? Your faces look so pale."

Wu Jinshu said, "It’s nothing, probably just too tired from work during the day. Yanyun, later on take your brothers to bathe, and your mom and I are going to bed."

"Okay," Wu Yanyun nodded, still a bit worried, "Dad, Mom, are you really alright? Should we call Doctor Li to come take a look?"

Doctor Li was the barefoot doctor in their area.

"No need, we just need some rest."

At night, after seeing that her brothers had all gone to bed, Wu Yanyun prepared to wash the dishes.

Just then, Wu Grandma, who hadn’t shown her face all day, suddenly stepped out, "Yanyun, come here with me."

Wu Yanyun was stunned, "Oh, okay."

In Wu Grandma’s room, "Have your parents gone to bed?"

"Mhmm." Wu Yanyun nodded.

Wu Grandma continued, "Do you know why your parents looked so pale?"

Wu Yanyun shook her head.

"It’s all because of you that they’ve become like this," Wu Grandma continued, "Yanyun, if you really are a filial and good daughter, then please consider your parents and your three younger brothers. You can’t be too selfish!"

Wu Yanyun was completely stunned, "Grandma, what are you talking about?"

Wu Grandma sat on a stool, "It’s come to this, so I might as well tell you the truth, you are not your parents’ biological child, your mother picked you up in the mountains when she was gathering firewood..."

Wu Yanyun couldn’t hear the rest of her words, everything was a blur in her ears.

In her mind, there were only five words—

She was picked up.

She was a foundling.

No wonder she didn’t look like either Wu Jinshu or Yan Erju.

No wonder Wu Grandma often said it was her who dragged down the whole family, so it was like this.

It was like this...

Tears welled up in Wu Yanyun’s eyes and suddenly gushed out, flooding her face in an instant.

Wu Grandma looked at Wu Yanyun with disdain and continued, "I’ve spoken to a household about you, it’s Wu Lan’s brother Wu Qiang. Wu Qiang is in very good condition, and once you marry into their family, you just need to enjoy life. Once you marry him, not only will you become a wealthy lady, but our entire family will bask in your glory. Wu Qiang’s mother has already given me a betrothal gift of three thousand yuan, and she promised that after you get married, our family can move to that small western-style house with a courtyard in front, and even change our household registration to Beijing. Now, isn’t that a huge stroke of good luck?"
