Love Guide for Childhood Sweethearts

"Nannan is right. Calm down, calm down." Mother Lin held her husband's hand tightly and said, "Don't panic."

Lin Jingzhe and his friends stood at the very outside of the crowd. The villagers' attention was attracted by the peep show in the yard, and no one paid any attention to them at all.

"Dad, look at this! Xia Wei is willing to marry me." The groom said proudly, his chin almost sticking out. "Oh no! What should I do?"

"Old Xia! Look at this? Your daughter doesn't agree..."

Before Li Shuiwa could finish her words, her father-in-law flew into a rage and shouted, "She's rebelling! She's got to marry whoever I tell her to." Seeing the groom's smug look, he was furious. "I'm her father! Who the hell do you think you are?"

"I'm her man." The groom said with his neck stiff.

"Tsk... the wedding isn't even over yet? Have you got the marriage certificate yet?" The 'father-in-law' rolled his eyes and glared at his daughter, "You little bitch! You're going to marry him, a poor old bachelor, and live a life of hardship and poverty." He put on a smile and added, "Here's forty thousand yuan. Forty thousand yuan! The new family I've found for you is rich. Marry him and you'll have everything you need. It's better than staying with this poor guy."

"What am I to you?" Zhen Qianjin looked at him with tears in her eyes and asked, "Am I someone you use to buy wine?"

"Why are you asking if you already know?" 'Father-in-law' sneered. "Hurry up and follow her. Why are you crying? Life is good, you should smile." He was completely sober. He walked over, grabbed the real daughter, looked at Li Shuiwa and grinned, "This girl is yours."

"You can't leave like this." The groom was reluctant. He rushed forward and opened his arms to stop them and said, "She is my wife."

"We're not married yet! What do you mean by your wife?" the 'father-in-law' said very forcefully. "I've already returned the betrothal money to you. Stop whining here. You're ruining my child's life."

"How can you be sure that Xia Wei will have a good life?" the groom said angrily. "Why did you marry her to a stranger? Do you know what she's like?"

"What do I care? Just give me 40,000 yuan." The 'father-in-law' looked him up and down and said, "He's richer than you anyway."

"Aren't you afraid that he'll beat his wife?" the groom said anxiously, "He drinks and beats his wife just like you do! Aren't you afraid that Xia Wei will be upset?"

This pierced the father-in-law's lungs. "What's wrong with beating your wife? She deserves it. My father can't make money, so shouldn't he be beaten?" He looked at the groom angrily and said, "You shouldn't beat your wife. Which man here hasn't beaten his wife?" He snorted and said, "What's wrong with drinking? And gambling! And sneaking into a widow's room! I never do that."

Lin Jingzhe stroked his forehead when he heard this. Is this a competition to see who is worse? Instead of feeling ashamed, they are complacent and proud of it.

Lin's mother couldn't bear it when she heard it. She covered her mouth and dared not cry out loud.

Father Lin put his arm around his lover's shoulders, patting her gently and comforting her silently.

"Stop talking nonsense to me. I've returned the betrothal gift and I'm taking the child back." The 'father-in-law' stepped forward, pushed the groom aside, and tugged at his daughter's arm, saying, "Don't listen to him trying to drive a wedge between us. Even if your father is unreliable, find him a good family."

"Xia Wei, with such a high price, aren't you afraid that your father will marry you off to someone stupid, blind, or lame..." the groom blurted out anxiously, "You're going to be someone's stepmother, Xia Wei? Are you going to do that too?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" The 'father-in-law' jumped up and down anxiously, "You can't come up with the money, and you're ruining my reputation as a good son-in-law." He comforted his daughter, "How could Dad cheat you! This is definitely better than the one right now." Pointing to the bluestone tile house, he said, "Look at this shabby house. If you marry into this family, what good life will you have? You have to take care of the elderly and the husband. If you give birth to a child, you have to take care of the young one. If you can't give birth to a son, you will be beaten and scolded. Do you want to live like this?" He said bluntly, "Look at me, think about your mother, your life is over at a glance."

Upon hearing this, the villagers looked at Old Xia in astonishment. He was really trying to sell the girl at a high price and even scolded himself!

"What do you mean, old man?" the groom jumped in front of him anxiously.

"Look, he was calling me dad just now! In just a short while, I've become an old man." The 'father-in-law' was so angry that he trembled. "This man is absolutely unacceptable."

The groom said anxiously, "Did I say bad? How could he be a good man with such a high price?"

"Even if I get beaten, I have money. A couple of slaps is no big deal." The 'father-in-law' said shamelessly, "As long as he gives me money and beats me up, I'll even call him daddy."

This scumbag dad's fighting power is really off the charts! Money really makes the world go round. Lin Jingzhe complained in his heart.

"I've seen shameless people before, but I've never seen anyone this shameless."

"It's a poor kid to have a dad like this."

"I wonder what happened to the company it was sold to?"

"With such a high price, I can tell with my head that he's not a good person. If he were a good person, he wouldn't have come all the way to this remote place like ours to buy a wife."

The villagers who were watching the fun whispered to each other.

"What a fuss! If it were you, I doubt you wouldn't be tempted." 'Father-in-law' glanced gloomily at the villagers and said, "You might even run away faster than I did. It's just that he didn't like your daughter."

"Old Xia, you're selling your daughter with honor."

"What's wrong? Are you envious of me because I sell so well?" The 'father-in-law' said shamelessly, without any sense of shame at all.

"Call the police, I'm calling the police, you're selling my daughter." The groom shouted angrily without any regard for the consequences.

"Call the police! Do you think I'm afraid of you? I'll arrest you first." The 'father-in-law' looked at him with a mocking expression and said, "Call the police! Call the police! There are many such cases here. Just report them and see if the police will do anything. I'm her father."

"You can't call the police, you can't call the police!" The groom's mother grabbed the groom's arm and pulled him back. Calling the police would be too offensive, not only to the old man, but also to the villagers.

"Son! You can't keep Xia Wei! Just because she has a father like this, who is like a blood-sucking leech, how dare you keep her! Marrying her will only bring unrest to the family." The groom's mother said earnestly.

"I really like Xia Wei. She's beautiful, smart, and has a good personality. I'm sure the grandson she gives you will be smart." The groom stared at his bride with cold black eyes. "Xia Wei, marry me! I will treat you well. I'll give you all the money I earn."
