Wu Na's head hurt because of Jia's roar.

She was also aggrieved.

The dowry promised by her parents was withheld, so she knelt down and cried to ask her parents for the dowry. If the Gu family had not been trying to hold on to her and threatened that she would not give the betrothal gift or build a new house, her parents would never have withheld her dowry.

After all, she was implicated by the Gu family.

Wu Na counterattacked, "Why did my parents withhold my dowry? It's because you, the Gu family, are not human beings. If you were willing to give a betrothal gift and not bring up my pregnancy when discussing marriage, my parents wouldn't have withheld the betrothal gift. They might even have given more because of your human nature."

"It's fine now, there's nothing left."

After hearing what Wu Na said, Jia was so angry that she wanted to hit someone. Even though she had lost her dowry, she still felt she was right.

After Wu Na's reminder, Gu Ruinian began to resent Old Man Gu, Gu Youtian and others for throwing away a large dowry for a small gift.

It's really not worth it.

If he had known this would happen, he should have persuaded his family to give Wu Na a dowry.

Wu Na didn't eat for a day. Her parents didn't like her. Gu Ruinian treated her coldly all the time. Her in-laws only cared about her dowry and no one cared about her health.

She was a spoiled girl to begin with, and when she was criticized by her mother-in-law, all her grievances began to burst out.

He shouted at Jia: "You can't get over it? Why can't you get over it? The dowry is not for you. My parents' dowry is for me. Even if they didn't withhold the money from the land deed, it's still mine. I won't be stupid enough to use it to subsidize you. If you still can't get over it, go to Heilongtan and talk to my parents to see how much betrothal gifts you are willing to exchange for my family's dowry. If you can't do it, don't talk nonsense."

Jia opened her eyes wide. If this got out, her daughter-in-law would scold her for talking nonsense. She would not want to live anymore.

"And you too." Wu Na said to Grandpa Gu and the others, "Ruinian and I have been married, and I have served you tea. I am pregnant with the child of your family, so there is no way you would deny me as your daughter-in-law. Since I am the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, I deserve to eat and drink what you give me."

"If you want to use my parents' withholding of my dowry to hold me hostage, then you are making a wrong decision. At worst, I will take my whole family with me to die."

Mr. Gu and the others’ chests heaved with anger.

If a woman gets pregnant before marriage and has no dowry, shouldn't she keep her tail between her legs and try her best to curry favor with her husband's family?

But Wu Na didn't do that. She looked very confident.

"I'm hungry, mother-in-law, please cook me a bowl of noodles and two eggs." Wu Na puffed out her belly and told Jia, "It's not me who wants to eat, it's your grandson in your belly who wants to eat."

After saying this, Wu Na turned around and went back to her room.

He also brought the charcoal brazier from the upper room to his own room.

There is no mention of separation.

Point it out.

Wu Na thought it through and decided that she would eat and drink what the Gu family gave her. If they didn't give it to her, no one would be happy.

Everyone in the Gu family was once again stunned by Wu Na's actions.

Jia was so angry that she started crying on the spot.

She suddenly missed the kindness of her eldest daughter-in-law, Wei. She always thought that Wei was shrewd and instigated Fengnian to leave them, but Wei respected her as her mother-in-law in public and in private.

Not only was Wu Na disrespectful to her, she even treated her like a servant.

Old Mrs. Gu was so angry that she started cursing.

"You are shameless. Wu Ren's good daughter has played our whole family around. You are so shameless that you even want to eat two eggs. Don't you even consider whether you are worthy of it?"

"What sin did my family commit to marry a person who brings bad luck to the family? This is going to piss me off to death."

Wei and Gu Xiaoxue returned home from work in the weaving workshop and sat in the west room, eating while enjoying the farce in the upper room.

Wei sneered. Her great-grandparents and her parents-in-law thought they could control Wu Ren by relying on Wu Na's pregnancy, but they were cut off from the source of their trouble.

Although she also disliked Wu Na as her brother's wife, she couldn't help but give Wu Na a thumbs up at this moment.

They should be dealt with in a tough manner.

There are no airtight walls in Qinghe Bay.

Soon, the news that Wu Na's dowry was withheld by Wu Ren spread throughout the village.

The villagers enjoyed watching the Gu family make fun of themselves.

Before they got married in Ruinian, Mrs. Gu and Jia boasted to the villagers all day long that the daughter of the head of the village was paying for their family and that the Wu family had a generous dowry. They showed off all they wanted, but they also secretly criticized other people's sons for being incompetent and unable to find girls willing to pay for them.

Let them show off, it will all be in vain in the end.

Old Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Jia were so embarrassed that they dared not go out. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat at home like eggplants hit by frost.

Old Man Gu and Gu Youtian found life even more difficult. They held a grand banquet for Gu Ruinian's marriage and borrowed fifty taels of silver from Fengle Building on credit. Even if Boss Qian was kind and charitable, he could not let a customer who owed money not pay him back.

Boss Qian comes to the Gu family’s old house every day to collect debts.

This left Old Man Gu and Gu Youtian with no choice but to borrow money from the clan.

On the other hand, Wu Na did not waste her time on internal conflicts. She gathered all the charcoal in the old house in her own room, was picky about her meals every day, and she and Gu Honglian would occasionally have fights over food. Gu Honglian had already complained to Tong Huaqiong about her grievances several times.

In order to replenish her body, Wu Na broke into the chicken coop and killed a chicken every day.

Old Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Jia were so angry that they started cursing. Wu Na sat at the door like a rolling pin and argued with the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

It was very lively and bustling.

The whole village was laughing at the Gu family all day long.

Old Mrs. Gu cried and cursed her miserable life. First, she married a she-devil as her eldest son's daughter-in-law, and then her new grandson's daughter-in-law was even more of a lioness.

Gu Ruinian's dream of breaking away from Old Man Gu and others to live a comfortable life in the town was shattered. At first, he was rude to his new wife because Wu Na did not give him the dowry she had promised. Wu Na gave him a severe beating and he never dared to use cold violence against her again.

Old Lady Gu and Mrs. Jia instigated Gu Ruinian to beat Wu Na, saying that the more he kneaded the dough, the softer it would become and the more he beat her, the more obedient her daughter-in-law would be. Without waiting for Gu Ruinian to raise his hand, Wu Na slapped Gu Ruinian twice in front of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

It's true that she loves Gu Ruinian, but the prerequisite is that Gu Ruinian can only listen to her.

She just wanted to live a good life with Gu Ruinian. She blamed Gu Ruinian for not being able to live a simple life with him. It was because he indulged his family and manipulated the Wu family when discussing marriage with them that she lost her parents' favor and her dowry.

Gu Ruinian was very angry.

He thought that since Wu Na had no dowry, he could use this to put moral pressure on her, and Wu Na's guilt would make her obey him.

Take over his work or serve him so that he can take a break, as he really can't work anymore.

But Wu Na doesn't play by the rules. She is indeed quite love-minded. As long as she has enough food, drink and money, she and Gu Ruinian can live their small life together behind closed doors, regardless of the storms outside.

But if she were asked to bear the wind and rain, she would not do it.

She is even lazier than Gu Honglian and always lies on the bed and asks Gu Ruinian to serve her.

He starts swearing at people as soon as he disagrees with something.

Wu Na complained that the cooking styles of Jia and Old Lady Gu were not to her taste, so she asked him to cook for her personally. Today she wanted chicken, and tomorrow she wanted duck. All the poultry in the house had been eaten by her.

When Mrs. Gu saw that he was being countered by Wu Na, she started to scold him all day long, and he wanted to die.

He even doubted whether Wu Na's love-sickness was just an act.

The noise coming from the Gu family's old house was so loud that Tong Huaqiong could hear it even in the weaving workshop.

Isn't this the old house's own fault?

He tried to make a fortune from the marriage by using despicable means, but not only did he fail to gain anything, but he ended up with a huge Buddha.
