Chapter 323 Not Marrying
Your daughter is like this, and you say she is a talented girl?
She is not even as good as her daughter-in-law who has never received a proper education.
The reason why Sun said such harsh words was because both mother and daughter were the kind of people who were taking advantage of others.
If she doesn't insist, the dowry issue will be a hassle. If she doesn't distance herself from the relationship, all the troubles she has in her husband's family will be blamed on her.
She can marry if she wants. If she doesn’t want to marry, I can just send her to a farm and support her for the rest of her life.
Xiao Yiran's mother did not get what she wanted, so she went to her daughter's yard angrily, holding the dowry list given to her by Sun.
It was impossible to ask her to pay for it. There was only so much money in the family, how could we afford to pay for her?
That's it. The dowry of the Marquis's Mansion is not rich, but it's not bad either. Isn't there a betrothal gift? If her daughter manages well, she will have no worries about food and clothing in the second half of her life.
After they left, Lin Xiaomi asked, "Mom, are you giving the dowry so early? It seems the man hasn't come to propose yet."
"That's right. Her mother is anxious. She said she's worried that the time for engagement and marriage will be too short, so she wants to prepare the dowry in advance."
Oh, I just want to get the money as soon as possible. Maybe I know my mother-in-law is going back to the capital, and I am worried that she is not well prepared.
"Yi Ran, come and take a look. This is the dowry that Madam prepared for you. If you are not satisfied, let's go find the old man."
Xiao Yiran's eyes immediately turned red. "Mom, didn't I say I wouldn't marry? How can I get along with such a worldly man in the future?"
She didn't understand. She had refused, more than once, so why was he talking to her about dowry now?
"What nonsense are you talking about, child? How can a woman not marry? The son of the county magistrate is quite good. You know that we are illegitimate children. It's hard for them to despise us and make us their principal wife. What else are you dissatisfied with?"
The woman looked at her daughter with a headache. Every time she talked about her marriage, she had this attitude. She didn't even think about how old she was. She could still afford to waste time.
My husband is right, a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent. Her family is still the same, but she has read too much and has become stupid.
"Mom, I won't get married." Xiao Yiran said seriously.
"Then what do you want to do? Cut your hair and become a nun. Besides, your father and I have already agreed to the marriage, and the date has been set. We are just waiting for the man to propose.
Yiran, whether you agree to this or not, you're already married. Don't make a fuss, the Marquis' Mansion will not allow such a shameful thing as breaking off an engagement."
The woman also looked at her seriously, not giving in at all. Now that things have come to this, there is no turning back. Otherwise, their whole family will be kicked out of the mansion.
Xiao Yiran shed tears, covered her heart, and looked at her mother with heartache.
"Mom, is my life's happiness so unimportant in your eyes?"
"If it wasn't important, would I have spent so much time looking for you? Why not just find someone from a rich family?" This ungrateful guy really pissed her off.
Xiao Yiran was still unforgiving, "You agreed to my marriage without my consent, and you said it was for my sake? Anyway, whoever wants to marry in the county magistrate's family can marry, I will never agree to it."
"Snapped!"
The crisp sound of slapping was particularly loud in the room.
Xiao Yiran covered her slapped cheek and looked at her mother in disbelief. Tears rolled down her cheeks like beads from a broken string, her eyes full of grievance and stubbornness.
"Mom, you actually hit me..." Xiao Yiran's voice trembled.
The woman felt a little regretful after beating her daughter, but when she thought of her daughter's stubbornness, her anger surged again.
"You ungrateful thing, this marriage is so good, why don't you understand? They don't mind us being born out of wedlock, what else can you complain about? If there is no Marquis's Mansion, do you think they would look down on you?"
Xiao Yiran bit her lip and said firmly, "I don't care about power and wealth, I just want a sincere relationship. If we don't agree, we can't talk too much. This man is just a money-grubber. We are not the same kind of people."
"Love? You dead girl, do you still have any shame? There is no room for negotiation on this matter, you must marry me!" the woman said sternly.
Xiao Yiran's father came over to see what was going on after being notified by the servants. "What's going on? Why are you making such a fuss?"
The woman recounted what had happened, and Xiao Yiran's father sighed.
"Yi'ran, don't be so willful. This marriage is really good, and we are doing this for your own good. If you don't marry, our whole family will suffer."
Xiao Yiran looked at his father, his eyes full of disappointment. "Dad, you only think about yourselves and never consider my feelings."
"Your feelings? Can your feelings be eaten? We are living under the roof of the Marquis' Mansion. We finally have such a good opportunity. I have arranged such a good marriage for you, but you don't cherish it." The father said angrily.
Xiao Yiran stopped talking and just cried silently.
