Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"Eldest Aunt, Zhou Zhihao was indeed invited to Shanggou Village by me, but..."

Wang Erhai did not deny it; he was just about to explain.

But Zhao Lifen immediately cut off his words:

"Don't give me any 'buts'! You just need to admit that Zhou Zhihao was invited to Shanggou Village by you! Let me ask you again: do you know that Zhou Zhihao and Li Yuncui were previously in a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship?"

"Eldest Aunt, let's talk things over properly..."

Wang Erhai continued speaking politely.

However, Zhao Lifen pressed on aggressively:

"Just answer my question directly! Don't you interrupt me!"

Wang Erhai's expression turned ugly.

Because if he answered Zhao Lifen's question directly, he would be led by the nose by Zhao Lifen.

But if he didn't answer, it would make him look guilty.

"Eldest Aunt, doing it like this makes it meaningless."

At this moment, Wang Xiaohua stood up to speak in Wang Erhai's defense.

Although he was not tall, his aura was extremely steady.

Zhao Lifen's aggressive attitude could not intimidate him at all.

"Wang Xiaohua, you have no right to speak here, shut your mouth for me!"

Zhao Lifen was huffing with anger.

She just wanted to display an extremely angry appearance, so as to gain more benefits in the negotiation.

She thought that with a yell like this, Wang Xiaohua would also be cowed by her.

However, things turned out contrary to her expectations.

They even completely deviated from her preset direction.

"Fine, then I'll shut up, but please you shut up too. This is my Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law's house, not a place for you to run wild. If you have any dissatisfaction with my Second Brother, you can go sue him in court."

Zhao Lifen shouted loudly:

"I'm talking to your Second Brother, what are you butting in for!"

But Wang Xiaohua shouted even louder than her:

"I am representing my Second Brother's will. Don't think that just because your voice is loud, you're in the right!"

Zhao Lifen was angered half to death:

"Wang Xiaohua, for someone who's a scholar, do you still speak reason or not!"

Wang Xiaohua just said:

"Fine, then let's speak reason properly. Isn't what you want to say just that Zhou Zhihao was invited to Shanggou Village by my Second Brother, so Li Yuncui ended up in this situation, causing your Yaozu — no, your Yaohua — to fail to marry, so my Second Brother has to take responsibility? Just say it directly: how much money do you want!"

Zhao Lifen was hit on the mark by Wang Xiaohua, and instantly felt guilty.

Then, shame turned into anger:

"My son has spent money now, the marriage didn't happen, what's wrong with asking Wang Erhai to compensate a bit? Isn't that only right and proper!"

Wang Erhai didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Only now did he see clearly the true purpose of Zhao Lifen bringing Wang Yaohua over.

Wang Erhai looked at Wang Yaohua:

"Cousin, is that what you think too?"

Wang Yaohua actually knew in his heart that this couldn't be blamed on Wang Erhai.

But he was really tight on cash; this was also out of necessity.

Otherwise, who knows what year or month he'd be able to marry a wife?

"Second Cousin, no matter how you put it, you should compensate a bit. This marriage, my family's losses are really huge. The bride price money definitely can't be gotten back. Holding the wedding ceremony and hosting the wedding banquet also cost several tens of thousands. You have so much money, just compensate a bit."

Wang Yaohua spoke these words as if pleading.

This made Zhao Lifen so angry she gritted her teeth, her face contorted with ferocity:

"Wang Yaohua, can you have some backbone! Can you give me a stronger attitude! What do you mean 'should compensate'? It's 'must compensate', okay! Less than a hundred thousand, and this matter isn't over! We'll move into your house!"

Zhao Lifen directly acted shamelessly and rolled on the floor making a scene.

Anyway, she had plenty of time to wear Wang Erhai down.

She wanted to see, when it came down to the end, whose loss would be bigger!

Even Wang Yaohua couldn't bear to watch her like this:

"Mom, don't be like this, let's talk properly, okay..."

But Zhao Lifen's face became even more contorted with ferocity:

"Talk properly what talk! Can talking properly get benefits! If you can't speak, shut your mouth for me, stand to the side and watch!"

Zhao Lifen looked at Wang Erhai:

"Wang Erhai, I'll lay it out straight. This time my Yaohua couldn't marry, if you don't compensate 100,000 yuan, not only will I make a scene in your house, I'll also go make a scene at your company, go make a scene at your wife's school! If you've got the guts, call the police and have me arrested! When I get out, I'll keep making a scene! I'll make an even bigger scene!"

Wang Erhai was dumbfounded:

"Are you neurotic!"

Zhang Yueran was also stunned.

Completely unexpected, Zhao Lifen could be a shrew to this extent.

But if one had to say who was most surprised, it still belonged to Gu Wenqing.

Gu Wenqing had lived in upper-class circles from childhood; her parents were intellectuals, and those around her were all people who spoke of civilization and law — where had she ever seen such an unreasonably rude shrew?

This time truly belonged to being an eye-opener!

While her inner heart was greatly shaken, she also secretly felt that this time following Wang Xiaohua home was truly too worthwhile!

In just these few short days, she had witnessed all kinds of absurd incidents, all kinds of human warmth and coldness.

If she had still remained in her own circle, then she would never in a lifetime have witnessed these.

And also would never in a lifetime be able to write literary works that could reflect real conditions.

"That's right, I've gone neurotic, you give one sentence — give the money or not!"

Zhao Lifen pressed on increasingly aggressively.

She wasn't that she didn't understand principle; on the contrary, she understood principle better than anyone.

It was just that in her heart she was very clear: this kind of shameless rascal behavior often managed to reap more benefit!

After all, Wang Erhai and Zhang Yueran, the couple, indeed couldn't afford to drag it out with her.

Even Wang Xiaohua, at this time seeing this situation, also had a headache as big as a fight, completely without method.

Because he knew, if they reported to police and put Zhao Lifen in detention, once Zhao Lifen came out afterwards, she would really become even more vicious and come make trouble!

"Fine fine fine, want 100,000 yuan right? Give it to you then, our two families, the kinship sentiment counts as having reached the end! Later if your family has any matter, don't come find us three brothers again!"

Wang Erhai angrily huffed, ultimately compromised.

He didn't want to keep wrangling with Zhao Lifen.

100,000 yuan to buy off this kinship sentiment, that actually still counted as acceptable — just afraid this family would every few days come extort once.

Wang Xiaohua at this time instead busily stopped:

"Second Brother, can't lightly give money, human heart not enough snake swallows elephant, this principle you should understand."

Wang Erhai said to Wang Xiaohua:

"I know, but now there's already no better method."

Wang Erhai at this time looked toward Wang Yaohua:

"Wang Yaohua, you really want this 100,000 yuan from me? You'd better think clearly!"

Wang Yaohua's brows slightly furrowed, somewhat hesitant.

He said:

"Cousin, just treat it as me borrowing 100,000 from you; when I have money later, I'll definitely return it to you."

Wang Yaohua couldn't do like his mother that unreasonably rude.

Additionally he also felt, shouldn't make things too stiff.

His three cousins, all that promising; if not making things stiff, later if truly having some difficulty, maybe they'd still help a bit. But if right now making things stiff, even tearing face, then later going to beg them for help, wouldn't be that easy anymore.

However, Zhao Lifen instead angrily berated Wang Yaohua:

"What do you mean borrow, this isn't borrowing, it's their compensation to us! Wang Erhai let me tell you, this money, we won't return to you!"

There, Zhao Lifen spoke the absolute, retreat road also blocked dead.

Wang Erhai dry-laughed:

"Alright then, give you 100,000 then, take money immediately scram! Later we sever relations!"
