578 Willingly
“Tell me quickly! Where did you bring Qiao Hua!” Qiao Zhuang roared angrily.
“You can guess where she is! She’s probably married by now! Would you force a married girl to marry into the Guo family? If you really do that, it’s against the law!” Liu Ying said.
Against the law? Did she think that they were uncultured and ignorant, and she could bully them?
As long as there was no evidence in the village to prove that she was married, it was simply child’s play! It was nonsense!
Since ancient times, a match was made by order of the parents and the word of the matchmaker! There was no such thing as getting married in private! Qiao Zhuang thought that this woman simply had no respect for him!
“Why didn’t you tell me about such an important thing! I’m the head of this family! All of you have to listen to me! I’m not dead yet! Are you intending to set up your own household!” Qiao Zhuang said as he pointed at Liu Ying.
“I can decide on my daughter’s marriage! Father! It’s enough that you decide on the marriages of your own children! You don’t have to worry about my daughter!” Liu Ying replied firmly.
Wang Qin was frightened by this fearless Liu Ying. She had thought that Liu Ying was a soft and easy person to manipulate and that she was just glib-tongued and full of fluff!
She did not expect that a rabbit would bite when it was anxious. Liu Ying was going all out!
“You! What a rebel! Qiao Fu, don’t you care about this matter! She’s your wife! Was everything she did actually your idea?” Qiao Zhuang asked as he stared at Qiao Fu.
Qiao Fu quickly waved his hands and knelt on the ground anxiously as he shouted, “Father! I don’t have that kind of intention! I really don’t know about this! I really don’t know anything!”
“Whether you hit me or scold me, I’ll accept it!” Liu Ying said.
She had slogged so hard for the Qiao family her entire life. Even if she had no achievements, she should still be rewarded for her efforts. However, they did not take her seriously at all. Instead, they felt that they were entitled to her efforts.
Would she allow Qiao Hua to live such a life? Absolutely not!
Even though she was not very capable, she was still a mother who loved her child and would do anything for her.
“Do you think beating you to death is useful! What’s the point of having you dead! Qiao Hua can’t come back!” Qiao Zhuang threw the stick in his hand to the side angrily.
The most important thing now was to appease the Guo family. He could not let them take back the 1,000 dollars!
If the money was taken back, how could he hold his head up high in this village anymore! How could he continue to be a tyrant!
“Father, rather than thinking about how to deal with me, you might as well use the time to prepare Qiao Yu’s dowry. The Guo family already said that they’re fine with any daughter from our family. So they have no choice but to marry Qiao Yu!” Liu Ying said smugly.
She had planned all of this. By now, her Xiao Hua had already gone to another city and married someone else. This person was her distant relative and he was quite a nice boy. She had long decided on him as her son-in-law.
She was just waiting to marry Qiao Hua into that family once she reached 18 years old. She did not expect that things did not go according to her wishes and that the marriage would be brought forward by two years. She actually could not bear to marry Qiao Hua off so early.
However, for the sake of Qiao Hua’s future happiness, she was fine to let her get married earlier.
Qiao Yu looked at Liu Ying angrily and went forward to question her. “You want to ruin my life just because of your Qiao Hua! I have parents too! Sister-in-law, why can’t you pity me!”
“The person who wants to marry you off is your own father! If you’re unhappy, go confront him! Eldest Sister-in-law has let you down. In the future, Eldest Sister-in-law can be your slave! As long as my Qiao Hua is safe and sound, I’m willing to die even if you want me to now,” Liu Ying said.
Qiao Yu also knew that there was nothing she could do about it anymore. Anyway, she did not have the guts to confront Qiao Zhuang.
It was already good enough that he did not starve her to death back then.
“Qiao Fu, bring your wife back and educate her well. Let her know that it’s the people with the surname Qiao who have the final say in this family.” Qiao Zhuang emphasized the word “educate”.
Qiao Fu immediately understood what Qiao Zhuang meant and went forward to grab Liu Ying.
At this moment, Wang Qin, who was the main family housekeeper, suddenly seemed to think of something and quickly went to the cabinet to look for the box containing the family’s savings.
Qiao Zhuang asked impatiently, “What is it now!”
