Leaving her weird mother-in-law and husband, she became a wealthy woman on her own

Sijun looked unhappy. He felt that this girl was unreasonable. "I don't know how we offended you! It's not worth your anger! The amount of the betrothal gift was decided by your aunt. She is our matchmaker. She said that she discussed the price with your parents. Also, isn't having a second child a national policy? Our request is not excessive, right?"

Man Xian stared at Si Jun with an angry look on her face: "You don't understand what I'm saying! Did you get my consent? Did you discuss this with me? You just made the decision directly. Have you considered my feelings?"

Sijun looked incredulous: "We are giving you the halo of maternal love. Isn't this a kind of respect for you? Besides, isn't having children a natural thing? Your mother gave birth to three children. Why is it so difficult for you to have two?"

Man Xian was so angry that she almost cried: "You still don't get my point, so let's not talk about it. You guys decided to go at your own meeting. It has nothing to do with me!!"

After saying that, Man Xian walked away without looking back, leaving Si Jun at a loss and disheveled in the wind.

Sijun called his mother and said, "Mom! What's going on? Did Aunt Manxian and her parents discuss the betrothal money? Or did her aunt make her own decision?"

Sijun's guess was reasonable, because Manxian's aunt was a very strong person, the one in charge of the family, and liked to make decisions for others alone.

Therefore, Manxian's anger made Sijun feel that things were not that simple. It was very likely that Manxian's aunt did not discuss it with her parents, or even did not discuss it at all, and acted on her own.

Sijun's mother said, "Silly child, of course her aunt and her parents discussed it. Otherwise, why would she call me and tell me the result? To be honest, we are not particularly satisfied with this result, but considering that you like that girl so much, and her aunt also said that she would calculate it in half according to her cousin's 32 yuan betrothal gift, which is also a face for us, so we still agreed."

Sijun said: "But Manxian didn't agree, and she was very unhappy, thinking that these were the prices we set ourselves. She also talked about the issue of having children in the future, saying that if she was allowed to have two children, it would be disrespectful to women."

Sijun's mother said angrily, "What are you talking about! How could this girl be like this! In our city, the betrothal gifts are generally around 10 yuan. 16 yuan is already much higher than this number, and she is still not satisfied?! In this case, forget about getting married!"

Sijun said angrily: "It's not a question of whether you want to or not. You should contact her aunt immediately to confirm whether this result is the result of a discussion between her and Manxian's parents or the result of her own decision!"

After hanging up the phone, Sijun received a WeChat message from Manxian: "I'm sending you my mother's phone number. You can ask your mother to talk to my mother directly. My mother is easy to talk to, just don't discriminate against her."

Sijun quickly called his mother and told her what Manxian meant. His mother said, "This... isn't appropriate... Usually, matters like betrothal gifts are mediated by matchmakers. If I contact her mother directly, my way will be blocked. If we start arguing again, it will be even worse. No, no, let's wait for her aunt's reply first."

Sijun had no choice but to do so for the time being.

Man Xian felt unhappy for a long time, and she had so much pain in her heart that she couldn't express it.

Growing up, my family conditions were very poor and I was often bullied by relatives.

She has lived a hard life since she was a child, making fire and cooking, working in the fields, and even climbing trees.

When she was very young, she almost set the house on fire while cooking. Fortunately, her mother came back in time and avoided a tragedy.

When working in the fields, people have to get up earlier than chickens. It is common to sweat profusely under the scorching sun.

When I was tired and sleepy, I would lie down on a piece of torn clothes beside the field to rest. It was hot in the summer and there were no electric fans or air conditioners, so I could only fan myself throughout the summer.

She has done almost all the farm work.

She likes to play in every corner of the village, including climbing trees to see if there are bird nests and admire the cute birds. She once fell from a tree and fell flat on her face.

When she went to college, she studied hard and hardly asked for a penny from her family. She basically lived on her scholarship, and gave the remaining money to her younger siblings.

Although she was admitted to graduate school as the first in her major, her life was still difficult, and she often had only a bowl of rice and a bowl of free soup.

She is not afraid of hard work or fatigue, but what she can't stand the most is that others don't take her seriously at all and arrange her without her consent.

There were many things she could do and agree to, but they were arranged without consulting her, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

What made her even more sad was that Sijun did not understand her pain points. Instead, he repeatedly emphasized the national policy on having two children and the custom of dowry in the city. Didn't she know these things?

She just wants the most basic respect for girls' opinions.

Sijun was extremely distressed because he often saw couples breaking up on the Internet due to disagreements on dowry. Now it was finally his turn to face such a dilemma.

But he just couldn't understand it. It was obvious that other boys only needed less than 10 yuan to marry a wife, but his family had raised the price to 16 yuan to show sincerity and take into account the rural customs of the girl's family. Yet he was still rejected so ruthlessly.

The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, so he sent a message to Manxian, hoping to ask her out for a date. He wanted to use his "graceful tongue" to convince Manxian. Although he was not completely sure, he at least gave it a try.

Manxian rejected his request.

Sijun became even more troubled, so he called Manxian.

"I really don't understand why you don't agree to this compromise plan?" Sijun said straight to the point.

Man Xian was speechless: "Has your mother contacted my mother? Didn't I give you the contact information?"

"I told her to contact your mother. But, you know what? This kind of thing is best mediated by a matchmaker. This is the basic rule. What if the two families talk directly and the talks fail?"

"You don't trust my mom, let alone me!" Man Xian said sadly. "You don't understand our family situation at all. My aunt didn't discuss it with my mom at all, and then she made her own decision. Do you know? My mom said that the daughter I raised with great effort is now getting married, and she doesn't even have the right to make a suggestion. She is very sad."

Sijun was puzzled. He said, "Your aunt said that this was the result of a discussion between her and your parents. She said your mother also agreed."

"I just hope that you can respect my mother, okay? We don't want this kind of arrangement without dignity. Don't I understand those principles? I just hope that we don't have to be arranged without knowing it. We just hope to have some dignity of our own..."
