Did the leader want to break off the engagement after meeting her? Later, she was hooked and became

When Jiang Jiu said that, he felt like he was a human trafficker.

That money was the money he used to buy the child.

Looking at the "good young lady" in front of him, Fu Jingshen suddenly felt a little heartbroken.

I had to straighten out and correct this line of thinking, “Whether or not you go to the compound depends on whether you want to marry me, not on whether I give you money and you will come with me.”

Jiang Jiu turned his still-unsharpened head around.

"Going means you'll have money, not going means you won't. Going means you'll get married, not going means you won't get married... So going means you'll get married and you'll have money, so if you want money, you have to go."

Listening to her mutter and fiddle with this series of logic over and over again.

Fu Jingshen: "..." Speechless, and even felt that there was some truth to it.

She seemed so clever when she was playing pranks on people before, but now she's betrayed herself. Is she too smart?

Jiang Nuanyan watched Fu Jingshen's gentle and patient demeanor from the side.

My heart is overflowing with sourness.

why?

Besides being good-looking, Jiang Jiu has a body as stiff as a board. Does a cold-hearted man like Fu Jingshen like this?

In her past life, she was married to him for several years, but she could count the number of times she met him on two hands.

Every time, his face was filled with disgust and loathing, along with a condescending disdain.

She'd seen enough, made enough of a scene, tried everything, but he hadn't even glanced at her.

Why did Jiang Jiu, with his gentle demeanor, say a few silly things?

Jiang Nuanyan tried hard to suppress her anger. She couldn't get angry; even if Jiang Jiu married that woman, she wouldn't be able to compete with her, and she would definitely be cruelly abandoned.

At that time, I will be the wife of the richest man, and I will definitely be able to watch her kneel at my feet.

She forced a smile, "Sister, you're getting married, so of course the bride price will be given to Mom and Dad, and then they'll prepare your dowry!"

Jiang Jiuzhun spoke with great certainty.

"You want to embezzle my dowry money?"

Jiang Nuanyan: ?

"No, no. Why would I want your betrothal money, sister?"

Jiang Jiu scoffed, "Because you didn't have any! Didn't the Xiao family say they wouldn't give you a bride price?"

"what?"

Old Man Jiang's voice suddenly rose, "No bride price? Second daughter, didn't you say you'd give five hundred?"

At this moment, Jiang Nuanyan wished she could tear Jiang Jiu to pieces.

"Yes, it's five hundred yuan, sir. Don't listen to Jiang Jiu's nonsense. The Xiao family owns a sugar factory."

Old Man Jiang nodded repeatedly, "That's true. The Xiao family is a respectable family. If they don't give a bride price, wouldn't that be a slap in the face?"

Faced with Jiang Nuanyan's warning glare, Jiang Jiu shrugged, saying it had nothing to do with her.

But she just wanted to be a good person.

Lying is wrong.

"Don't believe me? You can go and ask. I remember the Xiao family is in the county town, and there's that matchmaker, surnamed Lu."

Suddenly, Aunt Hong outside the door called out excitedly, "Old Jiang, if you're busy, I'll go ask for you. I know that matchmaker Lu. She's the one who arranged my niece's marriage. Don't hesitate to ask her for this small favor!"

Before Jiang Nuanyan could stop her, she saw Aunt Hong run away in a flash.

This is incredibly embarrassing.

Old Man Jiang's face darkened considerably when he saw her.

This granddaughter is already siding with outsiders even before she's married. If she really gets married, can the family still expect her to take care of his eldest grandson?

Old Man Jiang felt a chill run through his body.

Jiang Nuanyan had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue lying.

"Sister, regardless of whether I have a bride price or not, you shouldn't decide on your own bride price, right? Master, won't this make you a laughing stock?"

Old Man Jiang realized that this might be the last place in the family where they could make money.

These days, one misfortune after another has befallen our family. We should hurry up and marry off this unlucky granddaughter to make some money, so that we can also save some money for our eldest grandson's schooling.

“That makes sense, young lady. What family lets their child decide their own dowry when they get married? Don’t be silly.”

As she spoke, she turned to Fu Jingshen with a fawning smile.

"Hey Fu family boy, just give me the bride price, and take this girl with you today. We'll buy her some dowry and send it to the army later!"

Fu Jingshen looked at Jiang Jiu, who was standing to the side with her head down, and felt a pang of heartache.

What kind of life did she lead in this house?

No wonder she's so thin; if it weren't for her pretty little face, she'd probably be worried sick.

It's better to go to the compound with me than to stay in this house.

Even if I don't like it, I'll still make sure she's well-fed and clothed.

Jiang Nuanyan, standing to the side, watched as everything settled down and proudly raised her voice.

"Sister, don't be sad. You have to think about the family too."

Jiang Jiu scratched his head; it was really noisy.

I want to twist her neck off.

She was really giving her a nice look.

Jiang Jiu raised her head, and the fierce look in her eyes made Jiang Nuanyan shudder.

She was really giving her a nice look.

"You, you......"

Jiang Jiu revealed an innocent smile.

"What you said seems to make some sense?"

"When will you give me the money?"

Jiang Nuanyan: ? Is this ginger wine out of its mind?

Jiang Jiu crossed her arms and said, "Don't you, him, and the three people chained up in the house all owe me money?"

Are there three people chained up inside the Jiang family's house?

The onlookers at the courtyard gate stared wide-eyed.

"I knew it, all three members of the Jiang family have gone mad."

"Who says it's not?"

Even Fu Jingshen exchanged a glance with Yu Zhengtu; no wonder they didn't see any other members of their family.

"Jiang Jiu, my parents are sick and still have milk."

"Oh, you're sick. You're pulling your hair out every night, like this..."

Jiang Jiu pretended to be crazy, grabbing her head and sticking her tongue out like a hanged ghost, shouting, "There are ghosts! There are monsters!"

Her incredibly lifelike imitation made many people burst into laughter.

"Could it be that everyone in the Jiang family is mentally ill?"

"Jiang Jiu, are you crazy?"

Jiang Jiu glanced at Jiang Nuanyan and said, "Are you crazy or not? You all have to give me the money. I haven't forgotten that my biological father gives you money every year."

She overheard this secretly, no wonder Old Madam Jiang wasn't worried when the Jiang family's money was stolen.

It turns out that the original owner's biological father would give her a living allowance every year, and it was quite a lot.

Old Jiang's eyes widened in surprise. How did this good-for-nothing know that?

"What, are you trying to renege on your debt?"

"How about we do the math? If I stay at your house, I can only eat one meal a day, usually just a steamed bun. But I also have to chop firewood on the mountain, cut grass, wash clothes, cook, take care of the chickens and ducks, and work in the fields."

Jiang Jiu counted on her fingers, "If you calculate it this way, it's like I'm working for your family. My own father gives me a thousand yuan a year for living expenses."

"What do you mean one thousand? It's clearly six hundred!"

"Oh, it's six hundred!"

The crowd was in an uproar. Were the Jiang family members even human?

Her biological father gave her living expenses, but they not only didn't feed her properly, they also treated her like a beast of burden.

This is absolutely inhuman!

Oh no, even an animal wouldn't do such a thing.
