Chapter 172: Becoming a Blackmail Tool in the 7th Generation (5)
"Uncle Youjia, I know you are all doing this for my own good, but I can't be so selfish.
My mother taught me since I was young that one must not be without conscience.
It was clearly Brother Li who risked his life to save me today, but I still want to repay his kindness with hatred and blackmail him. Wouldn't that make me an ungrateful and heartless person?
Uncle, we can't let the hero get discouraged!"
Aunt Yun looked at Shuangshuang with reluctance, "Shuangshuang, listen to your uncle. Let your uncle make the decision for you on this matter."
"but I……"
"I am willing!"
Li Manyi could see that Shuangshuang's actions were not fake, and he felt much better.
Anyway, I came back to visit my relatives this time with orders from my superiors to ask for a guest.
Then marrying her would be a way of helping her.
As a result, when Liu Zhaodi saw Li Manyi nodded, she immediately showed a greedy face.
It was the lion who opened his mouth wide.
"You have to give a 200 yuan gift and 50 kilograms of national food coupons.
Don't say you don't have it, I know all of you soldiers have it."
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was in an uproar.
In the village, if you want to marry a bride, a dowry of 20 yuan is usually enough.
But she asked for 10 times more.
As for the 50 kilograms of national food coupons, they had only heard of them, and no one had ever seen them.
Wu Youjia glanced at Li Manyi and saw that he looked unhappy, but did not immediately change his expression.
Looking at the villagers who were eager to try, they also knew that this loophole could not be opened.
If Liu Zhaodi succeeds in her extortion, then I'm afraid things will just be like what Shuangmei said.
Even if you see someone splashing in the water, I'm afraid no one would dare to be kind enough to save them.
Maybe some people who want to cheat others jump into the river in front of others every day?
Then I thought about how hard it was for Shuangshuang to find such a good marriage.
But we must not let Liu Zhaodi, a single bad apple, mess everything up.
He quickly scolded, "Liu Zhaodi, shut up! If you want someone to take responsibility, you must discuss it properly.
You really think your sister is a cash cow, and you want to dry up all the oil in her body in one go."
Liu Zhaodi is a tough nut to crack. She thinks she has something on Li Manyi and is very confident.
"If they don't meet my demands, I'll just write a letter of denunciation to their unit and accuse them of being a hooligan."
Just when everyone was at a stalemate, Shuangshuang suddenly ran into the kitchen and took out a kitchen knife.
He yelled into his neck.
"Liu Zhaodi, don't you just want to sell me for a good price?
I tell you, forget it!
Today I will just slit my neck and you won’t be able to accomplish any of your evil ideas!
I will turn into a fierce ghost and wait for you at home every day to seek revenge!"
In an instant, everyone was frightened by Shuangshuang's move.
Wu Youjia quickly stopped her, "Shuang Meizi, put the knife down quickly!
Don't worry, I'm here to help you with anything!"
They both shook their heads, "No, I will never let Liu Zhaodi sell me off by the pound!"
Although Wu Youjia was anxious when he saw Shuangshuang like this, he could only continue to persuade her.
"Hey, put the knife down first. We have something to discuss properly."
Seeing that Shuangshuang refused to budge, he turned his attention to Wu Tiezhu.
"Wu Tiezhu, say something!
As a grown man, don't just stay in a woman's crotch and keep silent.
After all, Shuangmeizi is your biological daughter.
Just tell me exactly what you want to do."
Wu Tiezhu looked at Liu Zhaodi timidly, and then looked at Wu Youjia coweringly.
"Captain, in our family, her mother has always had the final say."
Shuangshuang sneered in their hearts, this Wu Tiezhu is the most hateful!
Whenever there is profit to be made, he hides behind Liu Zhaodi and acts like a grandson!
In fact, he had a share of all the benefits obtained.
Wu Youjia was immediately furious and pointed at him and cursed him in frustration.
"Wu Tiezhu, Wu Tiezhu, don't forget that Shuangshuang is your biological daughter!
You treat your daughter's savior like this, aren't you afraid that one day in the future you will..."
Suddenly remembering my identity, there were some things I couldn't say. I was so angry that I wanted to slap him.
With Wu Tiezhu's support, Liu Zhaodi became even more arrogant and insisted on getting that much dowry.
Li Manyi's face was gloomy and he said nothing. He was not a sucker. Being willing to take responsibility was one thing, but being blackmailed was another.
Fortunately, the situation now is different from the original owner's time, where there is no evidence.
Even if the other villagers wanted to help, it wouldn't be of much use.
This time, Shuangshuang went over to the side directly, and the team leader Wu Youjia was there to persuade them, which was much better than that time.
It's just that Liu Zhaodi was thick-skinned, and no matter how much we persuaded her, she still insisted on asking for a betrothal gift of 100.
Wu Youjia finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Li Manyi was unhappy but still agreed.
There was no wedding or anything like that. Liu Zhaodi took the ten ten-yuan notes from Li Manyi, saying that Li Manyi was a soldier and had no time, and then asked Shuangshuang to pack her luggage and go with him.
Shuangshuang looked reluctant on the surface, but she was chatting with Xiaojuzi in her heart.
"That's fine. I can get away from these annoying people and at the same time protect the Li family up close and repay them."
Although Xiaojuzi agreed with what Shuangshuang said, he also felt a little unfair for Li Manyi.
"It's so infuriating. I should have been a hero saving a life, but Liu Zhaodi extorted a hundred yuan from me."
Shuangshuang acted very calm, "Why are you angry? I'll bring you here to get it when things calm down."
Shuangshuang packed a tattered bundle, which contained a set of cotton clothes and pants that had become stiff during the winter.
He found another rope and tied up the wet clothes he had just changed.
Carrying it like this, he followed Li Manyi to his home village, Hongqi Brigade.
When I passed by the brigade headquarters, I asked the brigade leader to write a letter of introduction and a certificate of household registration transfer.
The team leader's surname is also Wu. Although they are quite distant from each other, they have the same ancestor for most generations.
Therefore, he earnestly told Shuangshuang, "Comrade Xiao Li is a good person.
Live a good life with Comrade Li from now on. If you have any difficulties, come back and ask for help. We are all uncles, and we will definitely help if we can."
They both thanked him sincerely, then turned around and left resolutely.
When Xiaojuzi saw that Shuangshuang followed Li Manyi obediently, she didn't even ask Wu Tiezhu to write a letter of severance or anything like that.
I couldn't help but be very curious, "Your Highness, why don't you cut off your relationship with that place?"
“Why do you want to break off relations?”
"But if we keep the relationship, aren't you afraid that he will have to support you when he gets old?"
"When did I ever say they'd get old?"
"what……"
"Ah what!
If things continue like this, when Wu Tiezhu and Widow Liu die, I will be the only heir to the Wu family.
If it really breaks, won't it all go to the bastards?"
"That's true."
The Hongqi Brigade was about 20 miles away from the Yongxing Brigade. The two men walked slowly for almost two hours before arriving.
