Chapter 96: Scum Man and Vixen Bound Together

~5 min read 903 words

At the Chen family home in the county, the atmosphere in the room was certainly not good.

Not only had their home been cleaned out by thieves, but the Hu family had also come to their door to force a marriage.

They didn't want to agree, but Chen Weiping was still being detained at the Revolutionary Committee. If they didn't resolve it quickly, they were afraid Chen Weiping would lose his job. After weighing the pros and cons, they could only suppress their displeasure and agree to the marriage.

Originally, Yan Qingshuang had taken a fancy to the daughter of the Li family on the back street, Li Yuehua. Her father worked in the government, her mother was a minor leader at the credit union, and her two older brothers—one was a soldier, and the other had entered a scientific research unit in the Northwest. It could be said that if they married her, there would be no burden in the future, only support.

It was just a pity that their youngest son was useless. Before the original marriage was even called off, he had already gotten together with that vixen, and he had kept it hidden tight. What was most hateful was that he had actually played the "hiding a beauty in a golden house" game, spending money to rent a courtyard for that vixen.

Although Hu Liru's father had been promoted to deputy director of the county supply and marketing cooperative this year, besides his salary, only that vixen had a job. However, there were still four younger brothers and two younger sisters from a different mother below, so the family burden could be imagined.

Originally, things had reached this point, and at least her decent job at the supply and marketing cooperative was a plus. But they never expected the Hu family to put their foot down: the person was to be married off, but the job had to stay. Tell me, isn't that infuriating?

Upon inquiry, they found out that her eldest younger brother had already gone to take over the shift half a month ago. The reason the transfer procedures weren't completed was that after the procedures were done, her brother would have to wait three months to become a regular employee, and he would earn nine yuan and fifty cents less each month. The Hu family couldn't bear to part with that twenty-eight yuan and fifty cents.

After a long silence, Chen Jiefang spoke: "Qingshuang, let's do as the Hu family wants. If we wait any longer, I'm afraid they'll be sent to the farm. Whether that woman has a job or not, let's put that aside for now. I'm just afraid that if we delay any longer, Weiping's job will be gone first."

"The old master is still in the hospital, and we really don't have the energy to keep tangling with the Hu family."

In just one day, Yan Qingshuang seemed to have aged more than ten years. As proud as she used to be, she was now just as decadent. Her hoarse voice sounded very unpleasant: "Fine, I'll listen to you. We'll go to the Hu family in a bit to settle things, pick them up from the Revolutionary Committee, and let them get their marriage certificate immediately."

The two of them tidied up briefly and went out, biting the bullet and facing the pointing fingers all the way to the Hu family.

Previously, the Hu family had wanted to hold some leverage and demand more bride price, but in the current situation, they were terrified that Hu Liru would affect the reputation of her younger brothers and sisters. It was agreed: the job stays, the person goes.

After all, both families had some connections in this small county, so things went relatively smoothly. They claimed the two were already boyfriend and girlfriend and had made a mistake because they couldn't control themselves, offered some benefits to the Revolutionary Committee, and picked the people up.

Then, without stopping, they went to the supply and marketing cooperative to complete the job transfer procedures. Without even changing their clothes, the two were taken to the Minzheng Bureau.

With two "clack-clack" sounds of the steel seal falling, Chen Weiping and Hu Liru were bound together.

Hu Liru's stepmother had never liked this stepdaughter and had previously been forced to be hypocritical for the sake of appearances. Now that such a thing had happened, how could she give her a good look: "In the future, be filial to your parents-in-law at your husband's home, and don't come back to your maiden home unless there's something important."

After saying this, she pulled her man and left without looking back.

Hu Liru looked dazed. How had things turned out like this? Not only did she not marry into the Chen family in glory, but she had also become a "broken shoe" that everyone shouted to beat.

Yan Qingshuang really didn't want to walk with them, so she said to her useless second son: "You go home first. Your father and I are going to the hospital to pick up your grandfather."

Chen Weiping didn't know what had happened at home yet and only thought his grandfather had been made ill by the ridiculous things he had done. He still had a bit of a conscience: "What's wrong with Grandpa? I'll go to the hospital with you." ===== CHAPTER 99 =====
