The old woman became rich by relying on the supermarket instead of selling her granddaughter
Chapter 20 Find a Bride
When Yang Dachuan's wife saw that Meng Lan was unmoved by the market price, she started to play the emotional card.
"Tell me, where can you find such a good marriage? This is the fate of the two children. In my opinion, we should not value money so much. These are external things. If you ask for less, the life of the young couple will be easier in the future.
You are Zhaodi's biological grandmother. If you don't love her, who will? Zhaodi is so lucky to have a grandmother like you who is willing to worry about her."
Yang Dachuan's wife talked a lot, but Meng Lan only heard the key words "two blessings". She almost couldn't help asking Yang Dachuan's wife, do you want this blessing?
"Daughter-in-law Dachuan, I have thought about it for a while. The age difference between the two children is too big. It is not suitable."
Thinking that this person was, after all, from her third daughter-in-law's family, Meng Lan felt that she should give her some face and found a reasonable reason to politely decline the offer.
Yang Dachuan's wife acted as if she didn't understand what anyone was saying and spoke with a happy look on her face.
"It's a good match, a good match! Our family doesn't mind Zhaodi's age. Girls are good at taking care of others when they are older. She is a perfect match for our Xiaowei."
She acted as if Meng Lan's family had taken advantage of her.
Yang Wei is five years old this year and He Zhaodi is eleven years old, with a six-year age difference between them.
Meng Lan calculated that if this situation happened in modern times, when He Zhaodi was in college, Yang Wei would only be in the first grade of junior high school. It was really a sin to think about it.
But then again, a girl will be able to take care of others when she is old enough? Screw that bullshit! This is definitely letting He Zhaodi be Yang Wei's bride, a new mother, a new nanny.
It’s not that a six-year age gap is always bad, but looking at the situation in Yang Dachuan’s family, it is definitely a big pit of fire.
Why did Yang Dachuan's wife fall in love with He Zhaodi?
It's because they think that she is just old enough to work. If they buy someone younger than Yang Wei, she won't be able to help their family with work at all.
Meng Lan thought that the Yang family was determined to squeeze every drop of blood out of He Zhaodi. This is exactly what they did in the original book.
The original person was sharp-tongued and not easy to mess with, and Yang Dachuan's wife did not bargain for a price.
Finally, she gritted her teeth and took out ten taels of silver to give to Meng Lan, and a few days later she brought He Zhaodi to the Yang family. After that, Yang Dachuan's wife took out all her anger on He Zhaodi.
Although He Zhaodi's life in the He family was hard, fortunately she had her mother Tian to protect her and her second sister He Pandidi to help her, so there was still some sweetness in the hardship.
Once I went to the Yang family, I would be isolated and helpless, and my life would become even more miserable.
As soon as she went to the Yang family, all the work of the Yang family fell on her.
He Zhaodi not only has to take good care of Yang Wei, but also has to do all the housework. No matter how hard or tiring it is, she has to swallow her anger because she has no way out.
When Yang Wei grew older and developed physically, He Zhaodi still had to satisfy him at night, and life became more tiring.
Due to long-term fatigue and malnutrition, He Zhaodi had to give birth to children for the Yang family one after another. She first gave birth to several daughters. He Zhaodi wanted to love them but did not have the strength to do so.
After finally giving birth to a son, He Zhaodi thought she didn't need to have any more children.
But her mother-in-law, Yang Dachuan's wife, said, "The Yang family has only one son for two generations, and there are few male descendants in Xiaowei's family. You have to give birth to more sons for the Yang family."
How many is too many?
He Zhaodi had been thinking about this question, but before she could find the answer, she died in agony after a difficult labor. It was not a blessing to marry Yang Wei. It was clearly unlucky to marry him.
Now that Meng Lan is here, He Zhaodi's fortune has also come. With her around, she will make He Zhaodi a happy person for the rest of her life, and she will never follow the old path of the original book.
So the first step is to prevent tragedies from happening at the root.
Meng Lan cleared her throat and repeated it to Yang Dachuan's wife very seriously.
"Daughter-in-law Dachuan, my family feels it's not suitable and doesn't want to marry Zhaodi to him."
"Ten taels of silver is ten taels of silver. Can't I just not bargain? Aunt Meng, you are really something. For such a small amount of money, you can be so cruel as to not even ask about your own granddaughter's lifelong affairs."
As Yang Dachuan's wife was talking, she began to blame Meng Lan. She thought Meng Lan was greedy and unwilling to compromise on the price, so she said that on purpose.
He felt a little unhappy and planned to give He Zhaodi a good lesson once he got her to the Yang family.
Meng Lan was so angry that she almost laughed. She really didn't know from what standpoint she was accusing her?
The villain is the first to complain. It was clearly Yang Dachuan's wife who wanted to push her granddaughter into the fire pit, but now she is accusing her of being cruel?
It's simply putting the blame on someone else!
She is truly doing this for He Zhaodi's own good.
"Daughter-in-law Dachuan, I'm telling you the truth. My daughter Zhaodi is not so lucky and cannot marry into this good family."
Meng Lan deliberately emphasized the words "blessing" and "good marriage".
Whoever wants this blessing can have it, but her Zhaodi doesn’t want it!
"Are you serious, Auntie? You are just kidding me. We were all fine before, how can you go back on your word?"
Realizing that Meng Lan was serious, Yang Dachuan's wife widened her eyes in disbelief and questioned loudly.
Meng Lan was also annoyed. Even the original body had only discussed this matter with Yang Dachuan's wife before, and had not agreed to it. This was not something that was set in stone, so why couldn't she regret it?
"I haven't promised you anything. Now I feel it's inappropriate. Isn't it normal not to marry Zhaodi to your family?"
Yang Dachuan's wife was looking at the coolie who was about to be hired, no, it was her daughter-in-law who was gone, her eyes squinted, looking even more mean, and she said viciously.
"Bah! Your family is untrustworthy. Aunt Meng, Yang Xiuqing received a deposit of 200 wen from me. How can you just blow it off like that?"
Yang, who was hiding in the house when her name was called, shuddered and regretted in her heart. She should not have accepted the two hundred coins from Yang Dachuan's wife. Now that she had encountered such a thing, she was afraid that as soon as Yang Dachuan's wife left, her mother-in-law would tear her to pieces.
Yang took two hundred coins from her?
Hearing this, Meng Lan was stunned, and then quickly searched the memories of her original body and the plot of the original book.
This incident did not occur in the original body's memories, and Yang had kept it a secret from Meng Lan. This incident was not mentioned in the original book either, and it seemed that for the original author, this was just a trivial matter.
"Yang Xiuqing, come out!"
After thinking it over again and again, Meng Lan gathered her energy and shouted towards Yang's room.
Yang, who was hiding in the house, heard her mother-in-law calling her. She shivered again, then stood up, opened the door and walked out. Her legs were shaking as she walked, but fortunately she was covered by her pants, so she was not too embarrassed.
"Mom, what's going on?"
At this time, Yang lowered her head and spoke in a voice so low that it was almost inaudible. It was obvious that she looked guilty.
"Dachuan's wife said that she gave you two hundred coins before. Is that true?" Meng Lan asked her.
Although she knew that it was most likely Yang who did it when she saw her like this, she still decided to give Yang a chance to confess.
After listening to her mother-in-law's words, Yang prepared herself mentally and finally spoke slowly.
"Mother, this is all my fault. I took the initiative to accept 200 coins from Dachuan's wife and promised to help her get together with Zhaodi."
