Chapter 945: Don’t Hang Yourself!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
His son was indifferent when he saw the old woman crying again. Usually, his son would try and comfort her, but this time he didn’t. Grandpa Du understood his son’s determination even more. He was sure that his son would not change his mind no matter what.
Grandpa Du sighed and said, “Then marry Hongguo off. We can always earn some betrothal gifts that can last longer.”
Grandma Du immediately said, “But how many betrothal gifts can you get if you marry her off? The Yang family in the East of the village gets the most betrothal gifts in our village. Even then it’s only one silver. It’s better to sell her directly. At least it’s a little bit of money. Even if Hongguo looks ordinary, I don’t think she will be sold at a low price. However, it should be possible for her to cost at least five silver, just like Erniu.”
Grandpa Du nodded.
Before Du Shanqiang could say anything, Du Hongguo, who had been eavesdropping in another room, finally couldn’t help but rush out and say to Du Shanqiang with tears on her face, “Father, are you really going to marry me off? Are you going to sell me off just like that? Are you really my father if you do something like that?”
“l, I didn’t say anything!” Du Shanqiang panicked. “Your grandparents said so.
1 won’t agree to it. Don’t worry, Hongguo.”
Du Hongguo felt a little better.
Xue Daxi also walked out of the room. There was no expression on her face, but it was obvious that she had heard everything.
“Mother!” Du Hongguo immediately rushed to her mother’s side. She felt that only by staying beside her mother would she feel safe.
“What do you mean by that? You don’t agree?” Grandma Du immediately cursed. “You would rather your father and I starve to death than marry your daughter off to earn a living?! Then why did your father and I give birth to
At this point, she said to Grandpa Du with snot and tears, “Why did we have a child back then? We gave birth to such an unfilial son! It’s fine if he doesn’t work in the shop. We won’t force him. If he wants to plant crops, we’ll feel sorry for him. He can’t farm enough to earn a living even if he works himself to death. That’s why we suggested sending Hongguo off. Is there no such thing as justice in this world? Why is he letting us down? Ah!”
As she spoke, she stretched her legs and burst into tears.
Du Shanqiang also knew that his parents had never done anything wrong to him. They were only thinking of him and his family. Naturally, he immediately felt guilty and blamed himself for all of this.
Grandpa Du’s eyes were also red. He angrily stormed around the house. Finally, he found a rope and said with a trembling voice, “Shanqiang, we’ll let you do what you want to do, but if your mother and I can’t decide where that wretched girl Hongguo goes, what’s the point of us still living? We might as well die today!’
As he spoke, he began to tie a rope to hang himself.
“Father!” Du Shanqiang was so frightened that he immediately rushed over and hugged his father. He knelt on the ground and cried, “Alright, alright. As long as you don’t force me to work in the shop, and it’s not embarra.s.sing to force me to do so, I’ll agree to it. As long as you’re well, 1 will be okay. As for Hongguo… you can do whatever you want to her. She’s your granddaughter, so she should be filial to you. It’s only right for you to live a better life if marrying her off is the only option.”
Du Hongguo saw her father in this state and started to fall in despair. However, she still cried out loud, “Mother…” She rushed into her mother’s embrace.
Xue Daxi’s eyes were also red, but she still didn’t say anything and only hugged her daughter tightly.
Seeing Du Shanqiang compromise, Grandpa Du stopped trying to hang himself. Even Grandma Du stopped crying.
Even when she saw Xue Daxi hugging Du Hongguo tightly and not saying anything, Grandma Du immediately remembered that Xue Daxi’s family was very rich. Moreover, Xue Daxi insisted on taking Du Hongguo away with her. Du Hongguo was Xue Daxi’s life..
