Luo Dashan and Luo Zhiyong were also mad at Zhang Jianguo, but when they saw Zhou Yuni hitting Zhang Jianguo, they didn’t make a sound and let Zhou Yuni continue.
After seeing that the beating was almost over, Luo Zhiyong reached out to hold Zhou Yuni back, "Mom, let’s leave it at that, we should discuss how to handle this situation."
"What to handle? We only have the option of getting married early now," Zhou Yuni, having let out her anger, had also cleared her mind.
Luo Zhiyong was thinking the sa, and he turned to Zhang Jianguo, "Jianguo, in that case, go back and bring your parents over. Let’s discuss this today and find a good day soon to register the marriage."
"I..." Zhang Jianguo hesitated and did not move.
Luo Zhiyong frowned at him, "What now, you want to delay like last ti, insisting on waiting until the end of the year?"
Zhang Jianguo didn’t get the chance to reply because Zhou Yuni, enraged again, lifted her hand and struck Zhang Jianguo with a cane, fiercely pointing at him, "Let tell you, if you still refuse to marry our Cuilan this ti, I’ll have you reported to the police, accusing you of raping our Cuilan, and make you spend a lifeti in jail."
"Mom, don’t speak so harshly. We’re already engaged, what do you an by ’rape’..." Luo Cuilan started to say but then stopped, too embarrassed to continue.
Zhou Yuni, infuriated by Luo Cuilan’s defense of Zhang Jianguo and not knowing where to vent her anger, hit Luo Cuilan on the back with the stick and cursed bitterly, "Have you no sha at all? Even now, you still speak in favor of this man. You might as well go around saying you seduced this man and got yourself pregnant."
"Mom, stop making a scene. It wouldn’t look good if our neighbors overheard this," seeing Zhou Yuni raising her voice as if they were heading for another argunt, Luo Zhiyong quickly held her back and turned to Zhang Jianguo, "Jianguo, you go back first, ask your parents to co to our house after lunch, we need to talk about your wedding. No matter what, you must get married this ti."
Zhang Jianguo, who was still sowhat afraid of Luo Zhiyong, nodded and then got up to leave.
Seeing Zhang Jianguo leave, Zhou Yuni directed all her anger towards Luo Cuilan, pointing at her and gritting her teeth, "No sha, no sha. If I can’t beat her, then I don’t want this daughter, it’s as if she was never born."
"Our Luo Family has always been proper and disciplined generation after generation, but this shaless wretch has managed to disgrace our ancestors. If I weren’t worried about bad gossip, I’d wish I could disown her from our family."
Driven to tears by Zhou Yuni’s words, Luo Cuilan began to cry and reproachfully said to Zhou Yuni, "Don’t act like the Luo family is sothing so extraordinary. It’s just my brother serving as a minor officer in the military, nothing impressive. If you really think I’m a disgrace, I don’t want to get married either. I’m going to move my things to Jianguo’s house right now; his parents said the sa. It’s only you who disagreed."
"You..."
Before Zhou Yuni could bring down her cane, Luo Cuilan had already received a harsh slap on her face.
Luo Dashan, who hadn’t made a sound since entering, retracted his hand from hitting Luo Cuilan, his forehead bulging with veins from anger, pointed at the door, and roared at Luo Cuilan, "If you want to leave, then leave right now and never co back to the Luo Family. I’ll consider you dead, and when your mother and I are old, don’t you dare take care of us. Get out right now."
Luo Dashan was usually honest and mild-mannered, and he especially loved his children.
Although the family wasn’t very wealthy, he had always been extrely loving towards his children, and usually, he could barely bring himself to yell at them, let alone hit soone. It was the first ti he had ever hit soone.
Last ti because of Luo Cuilan’s issue, although he was also angry, he only restricted Luo Cuilan from going out.
This ti, he made a move which truly shocked everyone in the Luo Family.
Seeing him so angry that his face turned red and his veins were bulging, Fang Pingying was afraid he might burst a blood vessel from the rage, so she hastened to pull him aside to sit down and poured him a glass of water, "Dad, don’t be too angry. Let’s talk slowly. Cuilan said those things because she was too upset, she knows that you all an well."
Zhou Yuni had been married to Luo Dashan for many years and rarely saw him lose his temper like this.
Now, she cald down instead, walked over to Luo Dashan, patting his back to help him breathe easily, "Yes, old man, don’t you know your own daughter’s character? She just speaks without thinking, don’t be so angry."
"Cuilan, go and apologize to dad." Luo Zhiyong looked at Luo Cuilan with an extrely stern expression,
"Do you think the family is just ashad of you? If that were the case, it would have been better to just let you take your belongings and go to the Zhang family; why would we still be considering a dowry for you so persistently? At the end of the day, the family cares about you and wants you to marry off gloriously."
Luo Zhiyong said, and with a helpless sigh added, "But you have gotten yourself into such a state, making it seem like no one wants you, insistently trying to marry into the Zhang family, and even now when the Zhang family suggested an abortion you seem to agree."
Luo Cuilan didn’t dare to contradict Luo Zhiyong’s words, and knowing she had spoken too harshly earlier, approached Luo Dashan, crying, and said, "Dad, it’s my fault, I didn’t know what to do, I was too panicked and spoke without thinking."
Seeing Luo Cuilan like this, Luo Dashan also felt a pang of heartache, his eyes reddened, and in the end, he didn’t say much but just sighed and instructed Zhou Yuni,
"Prepare dinner early, call back Zhiming and the others in the afternoon, discuss the wedding with the Zhang family, let’s get this matter settled earlier, we can’t let the Zhang family dictate anymore."
Luo Zhiyong nodded and said, "Let’s do as dad said, Pingying, help mom with the dinner."
Fang Pingying nodded and went to the kitchen to cook.
Luo Honglan, unbeknownst when she had returned, had been staying in the kitchen.
Seeing Fang Pingying erge, she stealthily peeked outside and asked Fang Pingying, "Sis-in-law, what’s wrong with my sister? It sounded like she was crying."
Fang Pingying knew she couldn’t keep Luo Honglan in the dark and told her directly, "Your sister is pregnant, and mom and dad were furious, they scolded and beat your sister and her boyfriend."
Luo Honglan was extrely surprised, "Ah, my sister is pregnant again, I thought last ti..."
Recalling Luo Cuilan’s predicant, Fang Pingying patted Luo Honglan’s head, and softly said, "Hong Lan, rember, never make the sa mistakes as your sister, no matter when, you must stand tall and live with dignity. You can love soone with all your heart, but don’t lose your basic self-respect,"
Luo Honglan didn’t quite understand these matters, but she knew they were not sothing to be proud of.
She nodded firmly and said, "Sis-in-law, don’t worry, I won’t be like my sister."
Fang Pingying looked at her relievedly and smiled, "Um, you cook first, I need to return to my parents’ house to call back your second brother and his wife, this afternoon the whole family needs to discuss your borrowed wedding matters with the Zhang family."
