"Hey, Nianyang, whatever conditions you have, just say it, and I will agree to them!"
Zhang Jianjun spoke with a resounding voice, feeling deep guilt towards Nianyang, naturally fulfilling any of her requests. It was just a pity that such an exquisite and clever girl was not fated to be part of the Zhang Family!
Nianyang spoke with neither humility nor arrogance, "Uncle Mayor, you know my mom always favors my sister in everything, regardless of my well-being.
When I was a child, I had to yield in food and clothes, and now they want me to yield in marriage. I’m afraid if I continue living with them, they might even take my life away one day!
I am also human, I have my human rights, and I refuse to yield any further!
So my condition is, please, as the mayor, transfer my household registration from the Gu Family to my Uncle Jiang’s family. From this moment, I will no longer live with the Gu Family!"
It was like a drop of hot oil falling into water, instantly splattering everywhere.
Everyone simultaneously looked at Nianyang, wondering if this little girl was trying to separate from the family?
But isn’t she still in high school? How could someone so young, not yet an adult, want to separate from the family?
This way of separating from the family is unprecedented and unheard of in the village!
Zhang Jianjun asked uncertainly, "Nianyang, do you mean you want to separate from the family?"
Nianyang nodded heavily, "Yes, I want to separate from the family and hope you can stand up for me!"
"What? Separate from the family?" Wang Ying’s reaction was a beat slow, and she was the first to oppose, "No way, I do not agree! You’re my child; born as mine, dying as mine. Without my approval, forget about escaping from me!"
Wang Ying wasn’t worried about Nianyang leaving home and starving or not being warm enough; instead, she planned to sell Nianyang to an old widower, which would at least fetch a dowry of three hundred yuan!
Three hundred yuan! At this time, it was a fortune, enough to give the Gu Family a good life while allowing Lanlan to go to college. If Nianyang left, her three hundred yuan would be gone, how could she bear it?
Zhang Jianjun ignored Wang Ying and seriously asked Nianyang, "Nianyang, have you thought it through? You are still in school and will take the college entrance examination next semester, and you do not have the ability to live independently. If you separate from the Gu Family, do you think you can support yourself?"
Although Nianyang said she wanted her household registration transferred to the Jiang Family, the fact is that the Jiang Family has no blood relation with Nianyang. At most, they can help her with the registration, but they aren’t obligated to be responsible for Nianyang’s future life.
Nianyang opened her mouth, but before she had time to speak, Jiang Aiguo, who had rushed over after hearing the news, cut in dominantly, "Mayor, I agree for Yangyang to be registered with my family. I am willing to support her and send her to college!"
Sun Li and Jiang Tian, who followed him, also hurriedly nodded, "Yes, we are willing to be responsible for Yangyang’s life!"
Jiang Tian cheerfully embraced Nianyang’s arm, "Yangyang, once you are registered with my family, you’ll be my real sister, and I will definitely take good care of you. All the good food will be yours, and I won’t be like your shameless sister Gu Youlan!"
Shameless sister Gu Youlan, "..."
"I disagree, I disagree! You little brat, don’t think you can ditch your old mother. I’m her mother, and she has to support me for a lifetime. If you want to separate, it will only happen over my dead body!" Wang Ying slapped her thigh, wailing and screaming.
Aside from everything else, she hoped Nianyang would bring good stuff from the Jiang Family to hers. If Nianyang got registered with the Jiang Family, wouldn’t she end up with nothing?
Not only would she not benefit from Jiang Aiguo anymore, but there would also be nobody to do the household chores!
This would be a huge loss!
