Wu Jinjin said with a smile, "Brother and sister-in-law, on this joyful day, what do you want to do? Let me take Yanyun out."
Wu Jinshu looked at his somewhat unfamiliar sister, "This is the Wu Family! It’s not the turn of a married girl to be the head of the family! Our Yanyun still needs to study, go to college; she cannot get married!"
Wu Jinjin speechlessly said, "Brother, what are you talking about? Are you still confused at this time?"
Mother Wu looked at Wu Qiang, "Qiangzi, go and greet your father-in-law and mother-in-law quickly."
"Oh, sure." Wu Qiang was dressed festively today, with a red flower pinned to his chest, smoothly pulling out two large red envelopes from his pocket, "Mom and Dad, here’s a little something from your son-in-law, please accept it with a smile."
Yan Erju and Wu Jinshu, of course, wouldn’t take it. Wu Qiang’s hand just stiffened in mid-air.
Wu Jinjin, seeing this, reached out and took the red envelopes, "Qiangzi, since my brother and sister-in-law are too shy to accept, let me take it on their behalf."
Wu Jinshu looked at Wu Qiang, "Comrade Wu Qiang, our Yanyun is only seventeen this year, she is still young; she can’t marry you, please understand the hearts of us as parents..."
Upon hearing this, Wu Qiang’s face instantly turned ugly.
He had come today to claim his bride, not to listen to Wu Jinshu say all this.
Just then, Mother Wu stood up.
"Then please understand the heart of me as a mother! The bride price was taken, the agreement signed, the house demanded, and now you’re calling it off! Where in the world does this make any sense! I’m telling you, my son isn’t lacking potential wives, he’s quite eligible! Countless young girls dream of marrying him! It was your family’s Old Lady who personally took Yanyun to meet suitors! From beginning to end, we haven’t troubled you once, and now you act like this—who are you showing off for?"
Wu Jinjin pocketed the red envelopes, "In-laws, please don’t be angry, my brother and sister-in-law didn’t mean it like that..."
Wu Jinshu strode over and slapped Wu Jinjin across the face, "You shut up!"
Wu Jinjin was stunned by the slap.
Wu Jinshu continued, "Comrade, we are both parents, I understand you and I hope you can understand me too. We, as parents, were unaware of this situation from the beginning; had we known, we would have never allowed Yanyun to marry! Yanyun is only seventeen this year; she still needs to continue her studies."
Mother Wu nodded, "Alright, I’m not unreasonable. Since you want to call off the marriage, just bring out six thousand yuan."
At these words, Wu Jinshu sighed, "I don’t have six thousand yuan right now, comrade, can you be flexible? I can write you an IOU. Rest assured, we will definitely repay this money!"
Grandma Wu heard this and felt trouble brewing; no, she could not let Wu Jinshu write an IOU to Mother Wu.
She still wanted to live in that small Western-style house!
Grandma Wu quickly intervened, "An IOU? Six thousand yuan is not six yuan! Our family can hardly scrape together six hundred yuan, let alone six thousand yuan! Mother-in-law, please don’t accept his IOU, he can’t pay it back!"
Wu Jinshu clenched his teeth and said, "Then I’ll go sell my blood! Sell organs! Rest assured, my wife and I will definitely repay this six thousand yuan!"
Just then, Wu Yanyun burst out of the house, "Mom and Dad, I don’t want you to sell blood or organs! I’ll marry! I’m willing to marry Wu Qiang!"
Seventeen years ago, if not for her parents, she would have already died; repaying them now was the least she could do.
What was marrying, after all?
Wu Qiang’s family was in such good condition, she should be content.
Mother Wu said with a smile, "See, isn’t everyone happy now?"
Grandma Wu also relaxed.
"Xiaoyun!" Yan Erju held Wu Yanyun’s hand, "No, I won’t let you marry!"
"Mom, I’m fine." Fearing that Yan Erju would worry, Wu Yanyun kept a smile on her face, "I am willing to marry Wu Qiang, I really am."
Mother Wu came over, broke up the two hands, and pushed Wu Yanyun to Wu Qiang’s side, "Big sister, if you ask me, you should respect the child’s wishes. Rest assured, Yanyun won’t be mistreated marrying into our family. Just look at the life your family leads; is that really fit for people? She can only have good fortune with us."
Seeing how cooperative Wu Yanyun was, Mother Wu was significantly relieved.
"Selling organs sounds easy, but could you two really go sell organs? Not to be blunt, but what if you both died on the operating table, how could Yanyun be at peace afterwards? Moreover, you two still have three children; who will provide for those three children in the future?"
