The peasant girl led her mother and sister to become rich

"There's not even a banquet, and they just let me go with him? Mom, how can this be possible!"

Bai Lianhua, who had always been a lady, finally couldn't pretend anymore. After hearing what Shen said, her face suddenly changed and she clenched her hands tightly to prevent herself from losing her composure.

Mrs. Shen had no choice. She had just received a betrothal gift of one hundred taels yesterday, but Old Lady Bai took it all away without leaving a single cent, saying that she was saving it for her two grandsons.

"Also, we agreed that at least half of the betrothal money should be given to me as my personal savings, and as my dowry! Now none of that is left!"

Bai Lianhua thought that she had married so well that she would have a grand wedding banquet on her wedding day.

I didn't expect that now I am not even as good as the poorest girl in the village. Apart from that new red dress, I have nothing else.

"Lotus, mother has no say in this matter! You know your grandmother!"

Of course, Shen favored her two sons more. Since she had said that the money would be left for her two sons, it was impossible for her to give it to them.

But Shen didn't want her daughter to know, so she pushed the whole thing onto Old Lady Bai and cleared herself of any responsibility.

If the family still had some wealth like before, perhaps Shen would really give Bai Lianhua a decent dowry.

But now that all the Bai family’s land has been sold, there is no extra money left. Plus, Bai Gaozhong and Bai Gaocai have to take exams this year, so the money is pouring out like water.

Shen was also thinking that if her two sons became officials in the future, she would have to spend money to manage them, so it was impossible for him to waste money on her now.

"This is mother's dowry. Although it is not worth much, it is at least left by your grandmother."

As Shen spoke, she took out a pair of silver earrings from her bosom, looking reluctant. She hesitated for a long time before handing it over.

Looking at the small and somewhat ugly earrings, Bai Lianhua felt hatred and resentment in her heart, but she did not dare to make a scene.

After all, Old Lady Bai would not indulge her. If she pushed her into a corner and then regretted it later, she would lose more than she gained.

Although Bai Lianhua was disgusted, she still accepted it. However, she did not feel any gratitude in her heart. Instead, she hated everyone in the Bai family.

She wants to get rid of herself with such a small thing. Don't blame her for being heartless and ungrateful when she lives a good life in the future.

Bai Lianhua, who was full of anger, endured her temper for half a month, and finally the day of her wedding arrived.

The Bai family did not hold a wedding banquet, so no one came to help. Bai Lianhua could only get up early and dress herself up.

The girls in the village had always been at odds with her, and even though they knew she was getting married today, no one came to see her.

Because she always relied on her brother being a scholar, she looked down on the girls in the village, felt that she was superior to others, and was unwilling to play with those girls in the village.

Bai Lianhua recalled that when other girls in the village got married, it was always a lively occasion. But now that it was her turn to get married, she had to do everything by herself. The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt.

"Here we are! Hurry up and invite them in."

Old Mrs. Bai smiled happily and clapped her thighs, and her sharp laughter entered Bai Lianhua's ears.

"This carriage is so luxurious!"

"That's enough! Stop embarrassing yourself here, go away."

Although the old man was very happy, he acted like the head of the family.

"Why did you bring so many things? Oh! The patterns of these fabrics are so beautiful."

Shen smiled happily, and her eyes lit up especially when she saw those exquisite pastries and cloths.

"I am honored to meet you all. This is a small gift from my family. Please accept it."

Mr. Li was as humble and polite as ever, and didn't care at all about the rudeness of those people from the Bai family.

Old Mrs. Bai smiled happily and nodded: "Don't worry! We will definitely accept it. Oh! These papers and pens are really good, just right for my brother and Cai'er at home."

"As long as the old lady likes it!" Young Master Li called Old Lady Bai "Madam" all the time, making her very happy.

"I like it! I like it! Come and have a drink of water. Shen, go and bring out the lotus."

The word "old lady" from the other party made Old Mrs. Bai suddenly feel like she was the ancestor of a wealthy family, and she was acting like a spoiled child and ordering Shen around all day long.

Shen thought that today was her daughter's wedding day, so she didn't argue too much with Old Lady Bai.

Bai Lianhua, who was in the room, had already heard Master Li's voice, but she could only stay in the room and wait.

Shen hurriedly walked in and asked Lianhua to say goodbye to Bai Baozhu, but how could Bai Lianhua, who was so angry, listen to her? She immediately showed a reluctant look.

"Why are you so ignorant all of a sudden? If your aunt makes a scene, will it still be your turn to marry her?"

When Bai Lianhua heard that Bai Baozhu would suddenly go back on her word, she was so scared that she quickly pretended to say goodbye in a nice tone.

"Aunt, I'm getting married today, don't worry! After I get married, I will definitely help you find a better family as soon as possible. You must heal your wounds as soon as possible and wait for my good news!"

Bai Lianhua, wearing a red wedding dress, sat beside Bai Baozhu's bed, pretending to be well-behaved.

Bai Baozhu, who was coaxed into a happy mood by her, handed over a handkerchief that she had prepared long ago: "Okay, this is my wedding gift to you, but you must remember what you just said, otherwise I will not forgive you."

"I see!"

Bai Lianhua agreed carefully, but secretly thought in her heart, I was only given a tattered handkerchief when I got married, and I am looking for a good family for someone like you, am I stupid or crazy.

Shen, who was standing by, was afraid of wasting time, so she stepped forward and pulled Bai Lianhua over: "Okay! The auspicious time has come, let's get out first!"

When Bai Gaozhong saw his younger sister coming out, he quickly went over, squatted down, carried her on his back and walked towards the carriage.

Master Li, who had been waiting outside, personally pulled open the curtain of the carriage when he saw Bai Lianhua come out. After she went in, he took out a purse and handed it to Bai Gaozhong.

"Thank you for your hard work, uncle."

At this time, Bai Gaozhong was acting like an uncle. After taking the money bag and weighing it for a few times, he smiled and said, "I'll trouble your family to take care of my little sister in the future."

"No trouble! Your sister is so sensible, it is a blessing for our family."

Then he turned around and bowed politely to everyone in the Bai family: "Because the journey is a bit far, I will take my leave first."

"Oh! Okay, go slower on the road!"

After the Bai family happily saw Bai Lianhua off, they immediately ran back into the house and couldn't wait to open all the gifts sent by the Li family.

There was no sense of depression at all due to the absence of white lotus.

Bai Lianhua in the carriage finally breathed a sigh of relief and was extremely happy.

She will never come back again. She doesn't want to stay in this house anymore, and she doesn't want to see any of these people again.
