Reborn as Tycoon's Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 16 - Not short of money

16: 16 Not short of money

16: 16 Not short of money

The visitors were none other than the parents of the Li siblings.

Li Dashu was the father, and He Meihua the mother.

They listened to Luo Yuzhu’s words, stunned, “We also came over after hearing the news.

Didn’t you put out word saying you were willing to exchange brides with our family?”

The Li family also had an idiot, and their idiot was even more foolish than Su Peng, drooling all day, with crooked mouth and nose, and without even the basic ability for labor.

They had an older sister who was quite presentable, and importantly, she was diligent.

If she were to get married, she could marry into a good family, but her parents wouldn’t agree to her marriage, keeping her home to trade for a marriage for her brother.

The couple from the Li family knew very well that with their poor circumstances, finding a normal bride for their idiot son would be harder than reaching the heavens.

However, their daughter was a good girl, and families with daughters might consider it.

Recently, a matchmaker had visited, mentioning a family from Lihua Village willing to exchange brides with them.

Yet after waiting at home for several days with no one showing up, they felt anxious and decided to come over to check.

Luo Yuzhu sneered, “Who agreed to exchange brides?

Xiaofeng is my daughter, and unless I agree, not even the Emperor of Heaven can make it happen.”

The Li couple looked at each other, somewhat confused by the situation.

“Xiaofeng, come, let’s go back home with mom.

If you don’t come with me, the moment I leave someone will trick you into trading you off for their son’s bride,” Luo Yuzhu couldn’t be bothered to waste words with the Li couple.

She chuckled coldly in her heart; her daughter was supposed to marry into the Wu family, how could she possibly be traded?

He Meihua looked at the girl opposite her, graceful and quiet, very likable at first glance.

Such a girl, if married into their family, would command respect for them.

Thinking this, He Meihua blocked Luo Yuzhu’s way, “You say no exchange, just like that?

I need to ask Xiaofeng herself.”

He Meihua shakily retrieved a cloth package from her trouser pocket, and after unwrapping it layer by layer, revealed a bracelet glowing with a green light.

She took out the bracelet and said to Su Xiaofeng, “Xiaofeng, this is an heirloom bracelet passed down in our Li family, meant for the daughter-in-law.

If you’re willing to marry into our family, this bracelet will be yours.”

The bracelet shone all over, indeed a fine item.

The fact that the Li family, as poor as they were, hadn’t sold off the bracelet was extraordinary.

“A mere bracelet and you think you can deceive my Xiaofeng,” Luo Yuzhu, although surprised that the Li family had such a treasure, was sure that a simple bracelet couldn’t lure Xiaofeng into marrying into their family.

No way.

She took out twenty thousand yuan from her bag and flaunted it in her hand, “Open your dog eyes and see, does Xiaofeng look like someone who needs money?”

The Li couple never expected Luo Yuzhu to reveal tens of thousands of yuan.

He Meihua was not one to be outdone, “Before coming here, we also made inquiries.

We learned that Su Xiaofeng’s real mother left when she was very young.

You’re the woman who married into a wealthy family, right?”

Luo Yuzhu snorted coldly.

“Although you gave birth to Xiaofeng, you never cared for her from a young age.

I heard her stepmother raised her.

In the matter of her marriage, you might be her birth mother, but you don’t have the final say.

We need to ask her stepmother what she thinks.”

Biological ties were not as strong as those who raised one; the ones who raised her were more significant.

Hearing the other party’s words, Luo Yuzhu glared, “Nonsense, Xiaofeng is my daughter, and I must take her away today.”

“Oh, Xiaofeng, looks like you’re leaving to enjoy a good life with your real mom,” Liu An rolled up his sleeves and approached, followed by a few buddies who looked just as disagreeable as he did at first glance.

Luo Yuzhu looked at the newcomer, her face changed, and she instinctively believed this man was the one who got Xiaofeng pregnant, “Who are you?”

“Who am I?” Liu An laughed, “You should ask your daughter that.

Ask her, who am I?”

After returning home, Liu An had also thought it through; Su Xiaofeng would not dare to call the police, so he had nothing to fear.

“Xiaofeng, who is this man?

Is he…” she couldn’t voice the rest: Is he that man?

“No.” Xiaofeng replied indifferently, her gaze sweeping coldly over to Liu An: “You still dare to show up.”

“Fengfeng,” Liu An said with a smirk, “you said you’re carrying my child, if not me, then who should come?”

At this point, he raised his voice: “Guys, tell me, didn’t you see us together that day?”

“Right, the sister-in-law was so enthusiastic, kissing Brother An’s mouth over and over.

It made us feel bloomed with joy; we couldn’t control ourselves.”

After speaking, the men exchanged smiles, their laughter filled with sleaziness.

The Li Family couple was somewhat stunned: “What child?

Are you saying Su Xiaofeng is already pregnant?”

“Who are you, old geezers, get lost.” Liu An swung his fist towards the Li Family couple: “There’s a child in Su Xiaofeng’s belly, and if anyone dares to marry her, I’ll make sure he dies.”

Liu An swung his fist, his thuggish demeanor frightening the Li Family couple so much they hurriedly took a step back.

Liu An’s eyes shifted, noticing the bracelet in the Li Family couple’s hands, and snatched it away: “Old things, never expected you had something good on hand.

This bracelet is mine now, I won’t bother about you coveting my wife-to-be anymore.”

Shining brightly, this bracelet could definitely fetch a couple thousand if brought to the market.

“That’s the property of our Li family, give it back to me.” He Meihua certainly wouldn’t give up and stepped forward to snatch it back.

Liu An, being a hoodlum, how could he willingly let go of such a good item: “I’ll return it to you if you want, but only if your daughter marries me.”

“Don’t even think about it.” Li Dashu had never seen anyone so shameless: “Are you going to return it or not?

If you don’t, I’m ready to fight you.”

As he spoke, Li Dashu picked up a large rock from the ground and grasped it in his hand.

“Old thing, you look really anxious, but with that size of yours, how do you plan to harm me?” Liu An simply didn’t take Li Dashu’s threat seriously: “If you’re not willing to marry off your daughter, then shut your mouth; consider this bracelet a gift to honor me.”

“Xiaofeng, let’s go while they are all in a mess.” Luo Yuzhu saw the two families were already arguing and hurriedly pulled Su Xiaofeng to leave.

Su Xiaofeng nodded, she needed to visit the Lin Family.

Seeing her daughter agree, Yuzhu was overjoyed and quickly led her away.

“Yo, where’s the sister-in-law off to?” The brothers brought by Liu An saw Su Xiaofeng trying to leave and blocked her way, not allowing her to depart.

“Get out of the way.” Luo Yuzhu glared at them.

“Sister-in-law, it’s not impossible for you to leave, but the child must stay.” One of the men, his face riddled with acne, said tauntingly.

“Su Xiaofeng, I said the child in your belly is mine, and that’s final.

Try leaving with him and see what happens,” Liu An said, swinging his fist, a ferocious look on his face.

A beauty within easy reach—he had no intention of giving her up.

Su Xiaofeng looked at them; the corners of her lips slightly curled.

Liu An coming over today wasn’t to reason with her; he was prepared to use force to make her agree.
