Li Mo'er piloted the fighter jet towards Bincheng.

Bincheng, located on the eastern coast of Eurasia and at the southernmost tip of the Liaodong Peninsula in Northeast China, is bordered by the Yellow Sea to the east, the Bohai Sea to the west, the Shandong Peninsula to the south across the sea, and the vast Northeast Plain to the north. It is adjacent to the cities of Yingkou, Anshan, and Dandong, and serves as a maritime gateway to Northeast China, North China, East China, and the rest of the world.

Bincheng Wafangdian was not yet a county-level city, but only a county. Li Mo'er drove an unassuming Jeep down the street.

Li Mo'er estimated that the van carrying Yang Yuqing wouldn't arrive until midnight or even tomorrow morning.

At this moment, she was leisurely strolling down the street, which was lined with shops, and the songs from the fourth cassette tape produced by Moying Entertainment could be heard from many of them.

The song with the most plays was "If There's No Wine to Sell" sung by Li Mo'er.

Dressed casually, Li Mo'er entered a hotel. It was only 300 meters away from Yang Yuqing's house, and everything in her house was within the range of her mind.

The Yang family's house is a detached house with four main rooms. The largest room is where Yang Yuqing's grandparents live, and the other two rooms are where Yang Yuqing's uncle's family lives.

One of these two rooms is where her aunt and uncle live, and the other is where Yang Yuqing's cousin, who has cross-eyed eyes, a flat nose, and a catfish-like mouth, lives.

Li Mo'er's cousin has already gotten married and moved out.

There are three wing rooms on the east and west sides. The east wing room is better decorated, with one room being the kitchen and the other two being bedrooms.

Judging from the layout, it seems to be Yang Yuqing's second uncle's house where she lives.

Yang Yuqing had told Li Mo'er that her second uncle's family had two daughters and one son, and Li Mo'er saw that one of the rooms was a room for two girls.

The other room was occupied by a couple and a boy.

The couple were chatting inside the house, and the topic of their conversation was Yang Yuqing.

Yang Yuqing's second aunt said, "I don't know what the old lady is thinking. Qingqing has been admitted to university and will graduate soon. The only reason she's being forced to marry her off is because she's after that dowry. Besides, Qingqing can sing and sends back several hundred yuan every month. What could she possibly be unhappy about? Why does she have to marry her off for a dowry?"

Li Mo'er's second uncle said, "No need to say anything, it must have been the fourth brother who conspired with him. It must have been the son of that deputy county magistrate he contacted who sold Qingqing for a high price."

Yang Yuqing's second uncle nodded: "I did hear the old lady mention it, the bride price is five thousand."

Yang Yuqing's second aunt gasped: "Five thousand! No wonder the old lady was so determined, no matter how much the third son and his wife begged, she wouldn't budge!"

In the main house, in the old lady's room, the old lady, her eldest son and his wife, and her youngest son and his wife were all present.

The eldest son and his wife, along with the old lady, sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), looking at Yang Yuqing's mother, who was kneeling on the ground crying and begging, with disdain.

"Mother, Qingqing has already been admitted to university and will graduate soon. She can already earn money to help support the family. Why do you insist on marrying her off now? Aren't you ruining her life?"

Grandma Yang raised her hand and slapped Yang Yuqing's mother across the face, yelling, "You're talking nonsense! You ungrateful wretch! I'm doing this for her own good. The deputy county magistrate's son has money and power. She'll be enjoying a life of luxury after marrying him. You blockhead, how can you not understand?"

Yang Yuqing's father squatted to one side and said in a muffled voice, "Mother, it wasn't easy for our child to get into university. If she doesn't want to get married, and you insist on making her marry him, what will happen if something goes wrong?"

The old woman rolled her eyes and cursed, "Pah! What could possibly happen? She's off enjoying her life, and she's still upset? She's just a short-lived ghost, she deserves to die young. And you all, stop lingering around me, go do what you're supposed to do. Just looking at you makes me angry. Get out, get out, all of you go find work and earn money! You're a family of money-losing goods, just eating and not making any money. Get out of here!"

The eldest son's wife chimed in, "Third brother, third sister-in-law, why can't you understand your mother's good intentions? That's the son of the deputy county magistrate. So many women would cry and beg to marry into that family. You should thank your mother for arranging such a good husband for Qingqing."

The eldest son's wife was extremely jealous. How could the third son and his wife have given birth to such a beautiful daughter?
