"I won't go. Even if you kill me, I won't go!"

A young female voice came out.

This was followed by a burst of vicious curses.

"Hey! You dare to talk back to me, you little girl? Fine, if you don't get married, don't come back to this house. If you have the ability, go and make money to support yourself!"

Xia An turned around and looked at the two of them. Why did this voice sound so familiar?

Obviously, the other two people had the same idea. They moved towards the corner of the street at the same time, trying to see the owner of the voice.

Wang Yongjun walked and wondered, "Why does this voice sound so much like that person..."

Qin Lang and Xia An looked at each other. Although they didn't say anything, their thoughts were the same as Wang Yongjun's.

Turning the corner, not far from them, there was a barbecue restaurant on the side of the road. Two people were standing in front of the store, a woman and a girl.

The woman held a broom in her hand and glared at the girl opposite her. "I'm telling you, I've raised you to this age, and now it's time for you to repay me. It's not your turn to say no!"

The girl opposite her had her back to the group, but her back looked very much like a familiar face.

The woman's words irritated the girl, and she kicked the bench immediately. "Li Guangming is almost 40 years old, and I'm only 18. You want to marry me to such an old bachelor? Are you my real mother?"

"Your biological mother found such a good marriage for you. Why would I care about others?"

The woman softened her tone and took her arm to persuade her, "It's because you are my daughter. If you listen to me, Li Guangming can give us a betrothal gift of 500,000 yuan. 500,000 yuan! And his house can also be registered in your name. He told me that when you get married and give birth to a son, he can also buy a good car for your brother..."

The girl shook her hand away.

Because she had used all her strength, she almost lost her balance. She stared at the woman with her eyes and sneered, "Isn't it all for your son?"

"...You!" The woman was speechless.

Seeing that her intentions were exposed, the woman simply didn't bother to pretend anymore. She trembled twice, picked up the broom and continued to sweep the floor, "Just you know, your brother is the only child in our family, and you are his sister, isn't it your responsibility to help him a little more?"

"Besides, even if you get married, who can give you 500,000 yuan as a betrothal gift? I am doing this for your own good. At least if you marry Li Guangming, you will definitely not have to worry about food and clothing. He is not that old, only 37 or 38 years old."

"You didn't do well in the exam anyway, and people don't mind you being young or not having been to college..."

The girl was so angry at her twisted logic that she laughed. She walked up to the woman with a cold look and asked, "You keep saying you're doing this for my own good, but let me ask you, do I have a share of the 500,000 yuan betrothal gift?"

The woman froze for a moment.

The next moment, she was about to hit the girl on the back with the broom, "You are so shameless. I've already told you such a good marriage, but you're still thinking about the 500,000 yuan! I tell you, the 500,000 yuan belongs to your brother, how dare you dream about it? Don't even think about it!"

The three people at the corner of the street stared in amazement.

Especially Xia An, her face was stiff and she was speechless as she looked at the scene in front of her.

The girl dodged the woman's broom at first, but she didn't expect that the woman wanted to teach her a lesson, so she chased after her with the broom and continued to beat her.

The girl dodged left and right, and when she realized she couldn't get away anymore, she turned around and prepared to run, "I'm telling you, I will never marry an old bachelor. I still want to go to college, and no one can force me..."

The girl turned around and saw some familiar, yet terrifying faces at this moment.

She was stunned.

The woman behind her caught up with her, cursing at her while slamming the broom down on her, "You little bitch, I've raised you up like this, and you still want to run away? No way!"

"Don't embarrass me here, go back!"

The woman also saw the three people who suddenly appeared on the street corner. She pinched the girl's arm hard, grabbed her collar and prepared to drag her into the house, "Go home quickly!"

In the past, the girl would have resisted at this time, so the woman used almost all her strength, but the girl didn't even struggle. She was too strong and the girl almost stumbled to the ground.

Although she didn't fall, half of her body hit the barbecue grill beside her, causing it to overturn. In an instant, smoke ash flew everywhere and pieces of black charcoal fell out. The woman coughed several times due to choking.

“Ahem… You damn girl, you ruined the guy who was eating?!”

As she was talking, she raised her foot and kicked the girl...

Not far away, Xia An couldn't hold back any longer. She frowned and tried to walk forward, "Zhao..."

"Xia An!" Qin Lang pulled him back.

Xia An was dragged back, her face was confused and angry, "Didn't you hear, Zhao Yuan's mother wants to marry her to an old bachelor, and she still has to take the college entrance examination..."

"Xia An, calm down first."

Qin Lang held her down, held down her arms, and calmly explained to her, "That's someone else's family matter. Can you solve the problem by rushing over? Also, do you think Zhao Yuan wants to see us now?"

Every word Qin Lang said struck Xia An's heart. Her face turned pale. After being silent for a long while, she nodded.

Qin Lang was right. When she was sold to the mountains, the first thing she thought of was that someone would come to rescue her, but when the time really came, she hoped that no one would see her embarrassment.

Perhaps, Zhao Yuan didn't want to see them at this time, especially her.

"I really didn't expect this. Didn't Zhao Yuan say that her family was one of the top ten richest people in Hai City?" Wang Yongjun touched his head and spoke in a somewhat nonsensical tone.

Qin Lang sighed.

"I know this."

Xia An and Wang Yongjun both looked at him. Qin Lang laughed helplessly, "After all, I am an official. I once helped the monitor count the family situation of our class. Her mother came to apply for a scholarship. Zhao Yuan may not know about this."

Wang Yongjun suddenly realized, "No wonder Zhao Yuan doesn't feel guilty in front of you."

Qin Lang sighed, "Even if it's not this, have you ever doubted that there are several wealthy people with the surname Zhao in Hai City? It's easier to find one among the top ten. They don't have daughters at all."

Wang Yongjun curled his lips, "Who would be like you, thinking about these things all day long? Besides, your family is still a bit famous in Hai City, so it's normal for you to know more than us!"

Wang Yongjun patted his shoulder. Qin Lang reluctantly opened his mouth and turned back to comfort Xia An:

"Don't worry. This is Hai City after all. It's not some lawless place without anyone's jurisdiction. Zhao Yuan hasn't even reached the legal age for marriage. And you've seen her temper just now. As long as she wants to go to school, no one can stop her."

As for Xia An's previous experience, he knew something about it because Xia's mother had found the school and it was later dug up on the Internet.

Xia An empathized with herself.
