Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 1149

Chapter 1149: A Beast Of Burden
“Since it has come to this, just let her remarry as soon as possible. Didn’t the matchmaker come to visit just now? When she returns tomorrow, just accept the proposal and settle the bride price. There is no need for a wedding, just let them pay 30 yuan and take her away,” Father Shi said coldly.

When he finished speaking, both Mother Shi and her sons were delighted. Their family’s house was old and needed to be repaired. With the bride price, they would be able to repair their house this year and no longer worry about it collapsing during winter.

The moment she heard this, Shi Qiwan looked at her parents, shook her head, and said tremblingly, “Mother, Father, I don’t want to get married.”

Seeing her crying face, Mother Shi replied, “This is not something you can decide. Now that you are a divorced woman, you can only find another man to live your life with. You won’t be thinking of leeching off your brothers for the rest of your life, will you?”

Shi Qiwan opened her mouth, but no words came out. Since she was young, she and her sisters had always been taught that their existence was to assist their brothers. So, when they got married and got bullied, their brothers would be there to support them.

But now, it seemed that what her parents had told her was a lie. When she was bullied in the Liu family and divorced by her husband, her brothers did nothing to protect her. Instead, they took advantage and asked for compensation.

Thanks to that, now she wouldn’t be able to get any money from her husband since they had signed the divorce papers and cut all ties.

She had only returned for a few days, yet her family already found another man for her to marry. In their hearts, what exactly was her position?

When this thought flashed in her mind, she suddenly recalled her daughter’s words.

‘Mother, Father and our family treat you so well. Why can’t you see our good intentions and insist on listening to your family’s instigation? If you continue down this path, you will regret it one day. When that day comes, you will only have yourself to blame.’

Closing her eyes, tears rolled down her cheeks as she whispered stubbornly, “No, I didn’t do anything wrong. It’s not my fault, it’s all Liu Pan and the Liu family’s fault!”

Seeing her sitting on the ground with her head lowered, Mother Shi thought that her daughter had finally stopped resisting. She glanced at her second daughter-in-law and said, “Second daughter-in-law, help your sister-in-law to her room to clean up and rest.”

Then, she looked at her eldest daughter-in-law and said, “Eldest, go find the matchmaker and tell them that we agree to this marriage. As long as they pay 30 yuan as the bride price, they can come pick up the bride anytime.”

The moment she heard this, Shi Qiwan looked at her mother in disbelief and said, “Mother, I don’t want to marry another man. I–”

Hearing this, Mother Shi glared at her daughter and replied, “What? Are you still hoping to get back with Liu Pan? Do you think he will accept you after paying 100 yuan as compensation during your divorce?”

“Mother, that is not what I wanted! It’s you and my brothers who asked for that money,” Shi Qiwan replied in panic.

“Aiya, sister-in-law, stop being so stubborn. Even if your new husband is a little older than you, he is still a bachelor. He is also the only son in his family, and his parents doted on him. As long as you give birth to a son, you will enjoy a good life for the rest of your life!” the second sister-in-law said meaningfully.

“Sister-in-law, you know we won’t harm you. It took Mother and Father a lot of effort to find this good man for you. If you keep refusing, aren’t you wasting their good intentions?” the eldest sister-in-law added with a smile.

Noticing the gloating in her voice, Shi Qiwan knew that this so-called good man was not as good as they claimed. Not only did she still love her ex-husband, but she also had no intention of remarrying, even if she couldn’t get back together with Liu Pan.

As long as she didn’t remarry, there would still be a chance for her to go back to the Liu family through her children. But if she remarried, she would have nothing to do with her children anymore, let alone the Liu family.

When she reached this conclusion, fear and panic surged in her heart. Pushing herself up from the ground, she rushed to the door, trying to escape.

Already anticipating this, her brothers blocked her way and grabbed her arms.

Ignoring the pain in her body, Shi Qiwan struggled while shouting, “Brother, let me go! I don’t want to get married!”

“Shut up! Do you think we are doing this for ourselves? We are doing this for your own good!” her eldest brother scolded.

“Sister, don’t refuse a toast just to drink a punishment wine. You better behave and listen to our mother, otherwise, I won’t mind educating you like before!” her second brother warned.

As soon as she heard this, memories of their childhood resurfaced in her mind. As the youngest in the family, she was often beaten and bullied by her brothers and sisters. The moment she went against them was the moment she suffered the consequences.

Just recalling the pain she experienced back then made her tremble with fear. She looked at her family and saw that no one had any intention of sparing her. At this moment, regret filled her heart.

Compared to the Liu family, the ones who really treated her like worthless trash were her own family. All these years, she thought her parents would spare some of their love for her. After all, she sent them food and money every month.

Turns out, they only treated her like a money tree and a beast of burden. They didn’t even treat her as a human. How could they love her as their daughter?
