Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 479

Chapter 479: Shi Qiwan
Xiao Li heard about the bride price given by the Huang family. If he wants to marry Liu Hua, he must prepare at least the same bride price as that Huang guy. It seemed that this time, he could only find Li Lingyun to borrow money.

Just as Xiao Li was thinking about how to borrow money from his friends, Liu Hua entered the house carrying the fish. As soon as she closed the door, she turned around and saw her sister-in-law looking at her with a frown. She knew what her sister-in-law was thinking at this moment.

Six years have passed since her sister-in-law showed her eagerness to marry her off. As the eldest daughter-in-law, her sister-in-law felt that she had control over her marriage and had been encouraging her mother to find her a husband.

When she was 16, her family wanted to betrothed her to a neighbor’s son. At that time, she told them that she would only marry Xiao Li and she was grounded for a month because of that matter. Her parents tried both hard and soft methods, but nothing worked. Eventually, they had to cancel the plan when she threatened them that she would jump into the river if they forced her to marry.

But it was the beginning of a long struggle between her against her family. Every year, her sister-in-law would encourage her mother to betroth her to the man she found. If the candidate she finds is someone with a bad reputation and bad qualifications, Liu Hua will not have a difficult time ruining the engagement. The problem is that the men her sister-in-law finds are all good men, and their qualities are better than what her family can find.

So when she broke her engagement, again and again, her parents finally got tired of her. After so many years, she has developed a reputation as a shrew and an old spinster. She thought that with such a reputation, no one would want to marry her.

Unexpectedly, her sister-in-law found 27-year-old Huang Tingyun. Not only does he work as an accounting staff at the county hospital, but his brothers also work in the city government office. Because of his age, his family was eager to find a wife for him. The Huang family agreed to give the Liu family 300 yuan, a bicycle, and a radio as a bride price in addition to other items after a long discussion with her family and the matchmaker.

Thinking about it, she is indeed a good match for Huang Tingyun. She is five years younger than him and is also good at housework. Because Huang Tingyun lives in the county town, the Huang family doesn’t mind that she doesn’t want to do farmwork. As long as she can take care of the house, cook, and take care of their son and grandchildren, they can accept it.

When her sister-in-law saw her standing there motionless, she glanced at the fish and asked, “Ah Hua, is that fish given by Xiao Li?”

After hearing her words, Liu Hua returned from her thoughts and said, “Xiao Li asked me to make fish soup to nourish my body.”

“Ah Hua, you have a fiancé. It’s not appropriate for you to continue interacting with Xiao Li,” she said disapprovingly.

“Sister-in-law, you don’t have to keep repeating the same words to me. My ears are already numb from your nagging.” Liu Hua said as she walked towards the kitchen.

Seeing her attitude, Shi Qiwan frowned and said, “Ah Hua, you are getting married next week. You’d better stop being so stubborn and get married obediently. We do this for your own good.”

When Liu Hua heard what she said, she paused, turned around, and said, “Sister-in-law, you don’t have to worry about my affairs. I think you should worry more about your brother. I heard that he molested another little girl yesterday, and the girl’s family asked for 50 yuan in compensation. I wonder if he will go to jail this time?”

“Ah Hua, how can you say that? Do you want my brother to go to jail?” Shi Qiwan asked with surprise.

“If he goes to jail, the reputation of our Liu family will also be affected. You should be more careful with your words,” she added.

After hearing her words, Liu Hua looked at her in shock and said, “Sister-in-law, you can eat whatever you want, but you can’t just say whatever you want! Even if your brother goes to jail, what does it have to do with us? Is the Liu family related to him in any way?”

“You mean, this has nothing to do with our Liu family? He is my brother, so of course our family will be affected.” Shi Qiwan said.

Liu Hua shook her head and sighed, “Sister-in-law, I think you are old and confused. You are the daughter-in-law of my Liu family. After you marry my eldest brother, you become a member of the Liu family and no longer a member of the Shi family.”

“Although the Shi family is your natal family, you can be said to have left their family. Since the two parties have different household registrations, of course, it has nothing to do with us. Don’t tell me that you don’t even understand this common sense.” She added with a smile.

Shi Qiwan was speechless after hearing her words. Although it is true as she said, who would cut off ties with their family just because they got married and moved their household registration?

After a while, an idea flashed in Shi Qiwan’s heart and she asked, “Ah Hua, according to what you said, do you plan to have nothing to do with our Liu family after you get married? No matter what, you are the daughter of the Liu family. Mother and Father have raised you for so many years. You can’t be so ungrateful, can you?”

Liu Hua looked at her sister-in-law and knew what she was worried about. She was sure that she would marry Huang Tingyun, and her sister-in-law was afraid that after marrying a good husband, she would forget about her natal family and not give them any benefits, or to be more precise, not give any benefits to Shi Qiwan.
