CHAPTER 414: CHAPTER 409: NOT WORTH THE PRICE

Today things have escalated to this point, Luo Zhiyong no longer cares about what others think.

He looked at Mr. Xu and sneered, "Uncle Xu, if you really think this is too much, let me share some things with you and see if you still find it over the top."

As soon as Xu He saw Luo Zhiyong’s demeanor, she knew he would reveal the matter of her and Luo Zhiming hurting Fang Pingying, and she was afraid he would also spill the beans about their affairs in the city, so she immediately pretended to be impatient and interrupted him, "Forget it, let’s not proceed. With things turning out this way, continuing the marriage has no meaning."

After saying that, she turned to the room where Luo Zhiming was and shouted loudly, "Luo Zhiming, I will return the betrothal gifts to you. Let’s not get married, I won’t marry you."

"Hehua, don’t do this." Luo Zhiming stuck his head out from a window, looking at still furious Luo Dashan outside, he dared not come out and could only weakly shout.

What prompted Xu He to deliberately call out to Luo Zhiming was to get him to stand up for her. She did not anticipate Luo Zhiming being so useless that she actually lost her desire to marry and clamored to return home.

Mr. Xu, seeing this, probably guessed some of the issues. He glanced at Luo Zhiyong and without asking aloud, he sternly yelled at Xu He, "Hehua, marriage is not child’s play. There’s no such thing as marrying if pleased and not marrying if not, besides, marrying isn’t just about the bridal gifts."

"Dad..." Xu He stomped and called out to Mr. Xu. What she cared about was indeed the money, otherwise, why would she agree to marry Luo Zhiming.

However, Fang Pingying didn’t let her finish her sentence but intentionally took over Mr. Xu’s words with a sarcastic tone, "Right, seeing the noble demeanor Xu He usually carries, she doesn’t appear to be greedy for money, naturally, she wouldn’t care whether there are bridal gifts or not."

"You..." Xu He glared at Fang Pingying, so angry that her words twisted, but she didn’t know how to retort.

"It’s not about the money, but the sincerity of the Luo Family," Duan Fenghua snorted at Fang Pingying, adding, "My daughter’s wedding turned out like this, if she really enters the Luo Family, she’ll surely be bullied to death by that uncle and his wife."

"Hehe, I don’t have so many schemes to bully someone unrelated to me." Fang Pingying said in a gentle voice, "This time your daughter marrying Luo Zhiming, if it weren’t for deceiving my husband and me of our hard-earned money, I’d be too lazy to bother with this mess."

Thinking, Fang Pingying deliberately called out to Duan Fenghua, "Aunt Fenghua, isn’t there an old saying, ’Wear the hat that fits your head, don’t daydream.’"

"What do you mean." Duan Fenghua didn’t understand at first.

"At least US$ 500 for the bride price," Fang Pingying snorted lightly, frowning at Duan Fenghua, "Do you really think your daughter Xu He is worth that much? In my eyes, she is not."

After saying that, Fang Pingying looked at Xu He with disdain, giving the impression that Xu He was a contemptible person in her eyes, "Thus, she does not deserve those bridal gifts. Conversely, if she were a good girl, maybe this money would just be spent."

"You..." Duan Fenghua looked at Fang Pingying, unable to continue because she too feared Fang Pingying would expose what Xu He and Luo Zhiming had done in the city.

"So, will you marry or not?" Fang Pingying finished, frowned in annoyance at herself for meddling, then waved her hand at Xu He, "Forget it, whether you marry or not is none of my business, but you must return the money you cheated from me. As for everything else, do whatever you want."

At this point, Xu He knew that if Fang Pingying didn’t get that money today, the matter wouldn’t be settled.

You never know, by then everything she doesn’t want to be involved might be spilled by Fang Pingying, and she will have no choice but to do as Fang Pingying says.

Angrily, she stomped her foot and threw down the big red flower that was originally pinned to her chest, shouting, "I will not get married, I’d rather die than marry."

"Exactly, you make it seem like my daughter can’t find anyone to marry her." Seeing this, Duan Fenghua also said, "Don’t even mention outsiders, in this village alone, there are plenty who want to marry my daughter."

"You..." Mr. Xu looked at the mother and daughter, his expression growing uglier, and he already had some guesses in his mind.

He knew his wife and daughter’s characters very well, and the fact that they were so easily controlled by Fang Pingying today was a clear indication they were blackmailed. However, with so many people around, Mr. Xu wisely didn’t ask further.

Duan Fenghua, seeing her husband’s face, knew that Xu He’s situation couldn’t be kept a secret any longer, so she decided to stop hiding it and deal with the explanation later. She called out to Mr. Xu, "Old man, stop talking so much. If our daughter doesn’t want to marry, don’t force her."

She paused, then continued, "After all, you were originally against it too. Now they haven’t even gotten their marriage certificate, and the wedding hasn’t happened yet, it’s not too late to back out."

"Alright, alright, you all figure it out yourselves." Mr. Xu sighed, then took out a gift money from home and handed it to Fang Pingying, "Here is the gift money from the Luo Family, take it."

Seeing Yun Mei reaching out to take it, Fang Pingying quickly stepped forward, intercepted the money before Yun Mei could touch it, then gave Mr. Xu a smile, "Deal, I keep my word, as long as you hand over the money you cheated me out of, I won’t bother with the rest."

After taking the money, Fang Pingying said to Fang Ping’an and Luo Zhiyong, "Dad, you and Zhiyong just need to move back those ’three turns one bang’ appliances, forget about the rest, we’ll see how to deal with them later."

Fang Ping’an and Luo Zhiyong nodded and moved the ’three turns one bang’ back to the Fang Family.

Fang Pingying also temporarily went to the Fang Family. Seeing Yun Mei’s expression, she figured that the issue with Xu family wasn’t going to end here. She was too lazy to muddy the waters here, they could do whatever they wanted.

For her, the Luo Family was no longer her home.

Fang Pingying was right yet again. Even though the gift money and the valuable ’three turns one bang’ appliances had been taken away by them, Yun Mei had already spent quite a bit of money.

For example, the money spent on the food for the banquet alone was over a hundred dollars, plus some small items needed for the marriage, and the money spent on renovating Luo Zhiming’s house was another hundred dollars.

Additionally, Xu He had spent quite a bit of Luo Zhiming’s money when she was in the city, which she has yet to repay.

More importantly, if Luo Zhiming couldn’t marry Xu He, he would surely go crazy.

Yun Mei would never let it go so easily; she was determined to keep Xu He.

Thus, she stopped the Xu family who were about to leave, then looking at Xu He, spoke meaningfully, "If you’re not getting married, we should also talk about some things."

Then, she looked at Mr. Xu, curled her lips into a smile and said, "Mr. Xu, please welcome me into your home, I have something to discuss with you. After our talk, we can decide if your daughter Xu He will marry our Zhiming."
