They've all separated, so what does it matter to me if they get poorer and poorer?

Chapter 302 Han Fengshi is so sour

Liang Cuier had been married once before, though the marriage had failed, but she was clearly different from other girls waiting to be married.

It would be reasonable if Uncle Liang and Zhang didn't arrange it for her.

Besides, this was a son-in-law she chose herself, which made them a laughingstock in the village, so she simply gave up and didn't care what happened.

There was no banquet, no band, and as for a dowry? Forget about it; it was just a few simple things Liang Cuier used daily. They only informed the Han family to come and pick her up later, and that was it.

Although the Han family was disappointed, they knew they were in the wrong, and neither Han's mother nor Han Songlian had anything to say.

Madam Han was furious: "A marriage between two families isn't about making enemies. How can the Liang family do this on such a joyous occasion? Song Lian only gets this one good day in his life, how can they be so careless? No, this can't be done like this, or our family will be laughed at to death! If they don't handle this properly, we won't marry him, let's see who's in a hurry in the end."

Han's mother was startled. "Don't do anything rash. Let it go. Things have already gotten this bad. As long as we can get the marriage done properly and bring Cui'er into the family, that's enough."

Han Fengshi felt a pang of bitterness; she felt her mother-in-law was biased.

Liang Cuier wasn't even married yet, but her mother-in-law's heart was already leaning towards her.

“Mother, I’m just feeling sorry for Songlian. The Liang family doesn’t take our family seriously at all, and they look down on us.”

Han's mother sighed; how could she not know?
But what could she say?
Liang Cuier used to visit our home often. The girl was beautiful, had a wonderful personality, and was hardworking. She was also very close to Madam Feng, like sisters. Back then, Madam Feng couldn't help but think that it would be wonderful if such a good girl could be her daughter-in-law.

But she only dared to think about it; she didn't dare to mention it.

What is your family's situation? And what is the Liang family's financial situation?
If we were to go and propose marriage ourselves, wouldn't that be like a toad trying to eat swan meat? We'd only be humiliated and become a laughingstock.

Unexpectedly, Liang Cuier and her youngest son fell in love.
Han's mother was both happy and guilty.

They hit it off, and the matter escalated again, making it certain that Liang Cuier would marry their youngest son. But once this daughter-in-law was brought home, she wouldn't stand up for herself in the Liang family.

So even though the Liang family didn't take this marriage seriously and didn't give them a friendly look at all, she had no choice but to accept it.

Whether you're happy or not is not important.

The problem is that she simply doesn't have the face to ask anyone for anything.

Feng is right, but what can we do?

"Forget it, forget it!"

Madam Han refused to let it go, saying, "Mother, what are you afraid of? Besides our family, who else can Liang Cuier marry? If she causes trouble again after her second marriage, I don't believe the Liang family won't be anxious and shameless."

"The Feng family!"

Han's mother was somewhat at a loss for words to express her shock. For the first time, she felt that her gentle and kind eldest daughter-in-law had a rather ferocious appearance.

"How could you say that? This marriage is indeed a step up for our family, and it's normal for the Liang family to be dissatisfied. We have nothing to say about what they do. It's just that we feel sorry for Cui'er; she's been wronged. If our family makes a scene like this, won't Cui'er be heartbroken caught in the middle? What will she do if she becomes a laughingstock? Let's avoid trouble and just smoothly bring her into the family as soon as possible. We'll treat her well from now on."

Han Songlian hurriedly added, "Yes, sister-in-law, don't worry about the Liang family, this is fine." "Fine? What's fine?" Han Fengshi suddenly burst out, choking back tears as she accused, "Wasn't I doing this for you and for the good of this family? And what happened? I've become the bad guy, and you've all done the good work."

Han Fengshi covered her face and ran away sadly.

Han's mother looked astonished: "This—the Feng family, the Feng family!"

Han Song quickly said, "Mother, I'm going to see my sister-in-law!" and hurriedly chased after her.

Despite her anger, Han Fengshi couldn't openly contradict her mother and Han Songlian, who had both made their stance clear.

After all, she would have to rely on her mother-in-law and brother-in-law for the rest of her life; it was too early for her to rely on her son. Her parents had passed away, and she only had her brother, sister-in-law, nephews, and nieces; she couldn't possibly go back.

Han Fengshi secretly slipped into the main house of the Liang family again, and it is unknown what she said to Liang Cuier.

Liang Cuier was making a huge fuss at home, demanding a wedding, a dowry, and a grand and lively departure.

Which woman doesn't want a grand wedding?
Liang Cuier initially felt guilty and dared not mention it, but that did not mean she had no dissatisfaction with her parents' attitude and arrangements.

Han Fengshi's words easily struck at her sore spot. The more Liang Cuier thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed. How could she not make a scene?

She even demanded that her parents call her younger brother Liang Mingxiang back for the wedding, and that her cousin Liang Mingxuan should also come back to see her off.

“They are both scholars who have passed the imperial examinations. They are escorting me to my wedding. It gives me face, and it gives our family face. What’s wrong with that? They don’t even show their faces when I, as the older sister, get married. What kind of behavior is that? It doesn’t look good on their reputation either.”

Liang Cuier spoke with great conviction, and at first glance, her words seemed so reasonable that they nearly made Zhang Shi furious.

"Don't even think about it!"

The mother and daughter argued fiercely about everything from whether their two younger brothers should come back to escort them to their weddings, to how much dowry they should receive, and how the wedding banquet should be arranged.

In her anger, Zhang started hurling incoherent curses, her words lacking any rhyme or reason. Instead, she seemed to be outdone by Liang Cuier, making it appear as if she and her husband had been mean to their daughter, and that Liang Cuier was the one who had been wronged.

Enraged, Zhang slapped Liang Cuier twice and cursed her for being heartless and crazy.

Liang Cuier burst into tears and started acting like a spoiled brat, "You can't treat me like this! If you don't agree, I won't marry you!"

"you--"

"Then don't marry her," Uncle Liang said, finally losing his patience after listening for so long. Just how stupid was his wife? She couldn't even speak properly.

This is something that shouldn't be brought up by him as a father, but he couldn't help it because his wife was too stupid.

"You still dare to bring this up? Look at what you've done! What decent girl would be like you, out on the mountain in broad daylight with a man—cough, cough, I'm too ashamed to even mention it. You've completely disgraced the family, and you still want to have a wedding banquet? What a load of celebratory nonsense! With a family like the Hans, I'd rather not have them than bring bad luck!"

"If you don't want to get married, then don't get married at all. Tomorrow, your mother and I will take you to the city to get some medicine, and that will get rid of the baby in your belly. Anyway, you're still young, so hurry up and find someone far away to be a second wife. You'll find someone suitable. And don't come back again, so I won't get angry when I see you."

"You still dare to drag Mingxiang into this? Forget about it. I won't let Mingxiang get involved in this kind of thing. If you have any shame or sense of propriety, then shut up and leave quietly. Don't come back unless you have to. You chose this path, so walk it yourself."
