Forced to marry a disabled man in the countryside? I'll repay you tenfold!
Chapter 2: The whole family is terrible; should she be forced to marry a disabled man in his place?
Inside the house, Aunt Xie Lanhua was talking so much that spittle flew everywhere.
The uncle, smoking his pipe, looked at the calm Su Wanqing and said with a smile:
"Look at this girl, she's so happy she's practically going crazy! Ever since your parents passed away, your aunt and I have been feeding and taking care of you, and even got you such a respectable job at the health center. What did we get out of this? We just wanted you to have a good future, to marry Zhou Yanshen. It's a way of giving your parents some peace of mind!"
Su Wan couldn't help but scoff. "You want me to have a good future? Why didn't you let me marry Zhou Yanshen when he wasn't crippled and his manhood wasn't damaged? Now that he's retired from a sinecure and is disabled and can't have children or advance in his career, you want me to marry him? Is this how you explain things to my parents?"
"Besides, I'm living off the pension my parents left behind. What have you done to support me? And what about the job at the health center? If the organization hadn't specifically designated me as a successor, I probably wouldn't have gotten this job. Even if I did go to work, wouldn't your salary still be taken by you?"
Hearing this, Su Wanqing felt a pang of pain in her heart!
In reality, she has a happy family. Her cousin lost both her parents when she was young, and her father adopted her and treated her like his own daughter.
However, in the novel written by my cousin, the original owner's father died in battle while on a mission, and his mother also died in a mudslide while supporting mobile medical services in the countryside.
In the book, she is portrayed as a pitiful girl who has lost both parents, had her property seized, and is now living under the roof of others.
Cousin Su Yaozu shouted:
"Su Wanqing, how dare you speak like that? Marrying you to Zhou Yanshen is all for your own good, to take care of a revolutionary hero—it's an honorable mission! And you're still ungrateful?"
"Besides, when your sister-in-law gives birth, you can just have her adopted. You'll get the title of an officer's wife for free, what more could you ask for!"
Su Wanqing sneered, "Then let my sister-in-law marry into that family. It's more appropriate to leave this glorious task to her. Anyway, I'm not marrying."
"Su Wanqing, you have to go! You have no choice but to agree! If you don't agree..." Su Yaozu ran over angrily, pointing at Su Wanqing.
"Slap!" A crisp slap echoed across the face.
Su Wanqing slapped her cousin across the face.
You're really giving me too much credit.
Cousin Su Yaoguang exclaimed incredulously, "Su Wanqing, how dare you hit your older brother? He was only doing this for your own good!"
"Snapped!"
Another crisp sound.
Su Wanqing slapped her cousin again, saying, "I'm hitting you for your own good. What more do you want?"
The family stared at Su Wanqing in shock. She used to be so quiet, had she gone mad today?
"So if I absolutely refuse, you'll have to break off the engagement, not only returning the bride price and betrothal gifts, but also giving up your job at the oil refinery, cousin?"
Su Yaozu covered his burning cheek, his eyes blazing with fury, but his outstretched hand froze in mid-air.
They couldn't fight back.
Su Wanqing sneered.
"Since it's such a good marriage, why not let Lingshan go and get married?" Su Wanqing looked at her cousin who had been silent in the corner.
Su Lingshan's eyes flickered as she received the memories. She never expected that she would actually transmigrate into the book she wrote, and as the female lead!
Those who frequently read Tomato's novels know that if the male and female protagonists don't end up together, they'll be criticized; if they do end up together, they'll be criticized. But once a bit of eroticism is mentioned, people stop harping on the pain of their own family backgrounds, stop discriminating against each other based on region, stop seeing gender antagonism, and stop caring whether their parents or pets are more important. The comments instantly reach 99+.
So she knows exactly what her readers want to see.
She wouldn't write those melodramatic plots if she wasn't afraid of being locked up in a dark room:
The female protagonist is transmigrated into a villainous minor character in a period novel, forced by her awful parents to marry a wealthy old man. Her cousin is forced to marry the male protagonist first as a comparison.
She pretended to get married, then betrayed her own family and reported them, obtaining hundreds of millions of antiques and gold. She then beat up her awful parents, making them run away in terror. The audience found it very satisfying.
After the male protagonist divorced and returned to the city as a regimental commander, she also passed the college entrance examination in 1978 and was admitted to the medical school of Peking University. She also bought more than a dozen courtyard houses in Beijing, resumed her relationship with the male protagonist, and even cured him of his infertility. They spent three times a day, one hour each time...
However, right now, the most important thing is to first get back my golden finger spiritual spring space, and then pretend to marry the "donation box" to get back the wealth that belongs to me.
When she first transmigrated, she heard a voice saying "Plot character correction," but she didn't know what had been corrected.
"Ling Shan doesn't marry Zhou Yanshen because she's going to marry Hao Jianguo, the director of the Commerce Bureau."
When the topic of their cousin marrying Hao Jianguo came up, the whole family got excited and their eyes lit up with greed.
"Director Hao is in charge of all the city's non-staple food products! When that happens, won't we have as much sugar, sesame oil, and lard as we want?"
"The key is your brother Yaoguang. We can get him a job at the Transportation Bureau; the drivers there have the best benefits, and he can also help sell our goods. We can get a transistor radio for our family too!"
"Although Director Hao is in his forties and a bit old, and has two children, he is fair-skinned and chubby and looks cheerful. He will dote on his wife. Ling Shan can just wait to enjoy a life of happiness after marrying him."
Su Wanqing's lips twitched. The family in her cousin's story was truly awful. They wanted her cousin to marry a man in his forties to gain benefits, but they didn't want to return Zhou Yanshen's betrothal gifts and dowry, so they made her marry Zhou Yanshen in her cousin's place.
"Alright!"
The eldest uncle extinguished the family's fantasies, "We're talking about marrying Zhou Yanshen now. Wanqing, if you don't marry him, you can forget about the job at the health center. With Director Hao in charge, you'll have to go to the countryside. Become an official's wife or go to the countryside, the choice is yours!"
Su Wanqing seized the opportunity and said, "It's not impossible for me to marry you, but I have two conditions."
"The first thing is to return my salary from the past two years."
"The second thing is to return my ration book, so I can collect my own rationed grain from now on."
In the past two years, every time she gets paid, Xie Lanhua takes her pay slip to the finance office to collect her money, and they even take away her food ration book.
She worked at the outpatient clinic of the health center. After becoming a regular employee, she earned 38 yuan per month, totaling 912 yuan over two years.
Upon hearing Su Wanqing's conditions, Su Yaoguang was the first to explode, shouting:
"I disagree! Mom promised to buy me a Seagull camera in a couple of days. If I give you the money, how am I supposed to buy the camera?"
The second one to explode was Xie Lanhua, who pointed at Su Wanqing's nose and started cursing:
"You heartless ingrate! Are you trying to drive this family to its death? You eat our food, wear our clothes, shouldn't you give all your salary to the family? We were blind to raise such a bastard!"
"Alright! I agree to this."
But my uncle made the decision and agreed.
Because the Zhou family offered much more: a gold bracelet, gold bars, a watch, and a dowry of one thousand yuan. They also offered a job at Yaozu Oil Refinery, a job that even money and connections couldn't guarantee.
Moreover, by peacefully resolving the Zhou family's marriage, Ling Shan will gain even more after marrying Director Hao.
Therefore, he did not want to cause any unnecessary trouble.
"I want it now." Su Wanqing stared at her aunt, whose face had turned dark with pain.
The eldest uncle looked at Xie Lanhua and said, "Go and get it." He then said to Su Wanqing, "Go back to your room and change into some neat clothes, then go with your aunt to take care of things. Don't keep the Zhou family waiting."
Only Su Lingshan was somewhat dazed. Did her cousin really ask for so much money in the original story? How could she possibly let her cousin take so much money to the countryside?
"Okay." Su Wanqing turned around and walked towards her room—the storage room.
Just in time, she needed to quickly retrieve her parents' belongings, thanks to her cheat-like ability to access the Spirit Spring Space!
