Unexpectedly, the bride’s side demanded a betrothal gift of 150,000 dollars right off the bat.
Upon hearing the amount, both parties were so scared that they wanted to cancel the marriage immediately. However, Ryan Diet had taken a fancy to the girl already, and even threatened his parents with suicide if they didn’t come up with the money. So, Gregory Diet and Beatrice Black had no choice but to promise to find a way to raise the funds.
Just when they were thinking of ways to raise the money, a stroke of luck came their way.
Beatrice Black nodded with a few crocodile tears and cried, “Yes, yes, that’s our fifth daughter. Officer, we actually had five daughters and a son. Two daughters died young from illness, and another was taken away by child traffickers. We never dreamed in this life we would find her ”
As for that past, almost no one knew about it except Beatrice’s mother-in-law because the child had been killed or abandoned shortly after birth.
Although she was a simple village woman, she wasn’t foolish.
If she told people she had abandoned her child, would the child still recognize her?
So, they had to concoct a lie that the child had been taken away by traffickers.
Perhaps her fifth daughter had been adopted by a wealthy family, and she could get a large sum of money from them.
The more Beatrice thought about it, the more excited she became.
Gregory Diet also understood his wife’s meaning in a second and cried as he hugged Beatrice.
Seeing their reaction, the police officer sighed. He didn’t know the real situation and just thought they were a couple who had had a difficult life.
“Alright, uncle and aunt, don’t be sad anymore! After our preliminary comparison, there’s a 60% chance that the girl is your daughter. If you want to further confirm this, you need to go to the hospital to have your blood drawn for a DNA test,” he said.
“Alright, alright!” Gregory Diet nodded, looking like an honest and simple farmer. “Officer, we’re just two ignorant old farmers. We’ll do whatever you say. We just want to find our daughter!”
Seeing that the couple also had a hard time, the police officer personally took them to the hospital to get their blood drawn and leave a record.
After completing a series of procedures, Gregory Diet asked, “When will we know the result, officer?”
“In about three days. We’ll inform you at that time.”
“Thank you! Thank you!”
Beatrice felt a little unsure. What if that girl wasn’t her daughter? She asked, “Could I see a picture of the girl?”
The officer nodded and pulled up Rachel Barton’s photo.
In the photo, Rachel looked sweet and lovely with fair skin and a smile on her face as she looked ahead.
Seeing Rachel’s photo, Beatrice immediately burst into tears. “Our fifth daughter! This is our fifth daughter!”
Originally unsure, Beatrice became almost certain after seeing the photo—this was indeed their fifth daughter.
That’s because the girl in the photo looked remarkably like their second daughter, Delia Frieman.
It was partly due to her good looks that Delia was able to make money by selling her body.
Gregory Diet also cried along with her. “Officer, my wife is right. This is our daughter. She looks exactly like my wife when she was young and resembles our second daughter.”
“There are many people who look alike, uncle and auntie. Don’t cry anymore. Just go home and wait for the result,” the officer said.
Gregory Diet nodded, comforting Beatrice as they left the police station.
As soon as they stepped out of the police station, Beatrice wiped away her tears and told Gregory Diet, “That girl must be our five-niu!”
Gregory Diet nodded, “I think so too!”
Beatrice breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, “That’s wonderful! Now we’ve got a way to solve our Ryan’s marriage issue! With our five-niu’s appearance, it wouldn’t be over the top to ask for 500,000 dollars as a betrothal gift, right?”
After all, Luna could ask for 150,000 dollars!
Upon saying this, Beatrice added, “Luna is not even half as beautiful as our five-niu.”
Gregory Diet also smiled broadly, as if he had already seen the 500,000 dollars waving at him.
The old couple had just returned home when a small stool was thrown at them.
Fortunately, Gregory Diet dodged quickly, or else the stool would have hit his head.
“Ryan, my dear, who has upset you again?” Beatrice immediately rushed forward.
Ryan Diet was eighteen years old.
He had been spoiled rotten.
All the bad traits of children could be found in him.
Ryan Diet pushed his mother away angrily and said, “Where’s the money? How am I supposed to get married without money? When are you two going to sell your kidneys?”
