Chapter 319 Shameless Talk
Tian Zhenzhen thought that her cousin wouldn't invite her family to her wedding.
After all, she knew a thing or two about what kind of people her uncle's family were.
The family still farms, and they usually rely on their uncle to do odd jobs to supplement their income.
Just like their family, they favor sons over daughters.
Otherwise, my cousin wouldn't have been able to get into university, but instead prevented her from taking the college entrance exam and forced her to get married.
Tian Zhenzhen went inside; of the Hu family members, only Hu Yuanyuan was home.
I've been busy with the factory and the wedding lately. The factory has acquired the technology and received additional investment, so it's already busy with production.
Therefore, no one was home.
Tian Yunying was very happy to see Tian Zhenzhen.
"Zhenzhen, you're here."
"Yes, Sister Yunying, what exactly happened? You need to tell me in person."
Despite her suspicions, Tian Zhenzhen still wanted to hear Tian Yunying speak.
Hu Yuanyuan poured tea for the two of them with great hospitality. It was flower tea, which is the best for beauty and health.
After pouring tea for the two of them, she poured herself a cup as well, and then sat obediently to the side.
"It's all my fault. When Wenjie and I were shopping, we were recognized by people from my hometown."
Later, my parents contacted me and, knowing I was getting married, they came to attend our wedding.
Tian Yunying spoke tactfully, but Hu Yuanyuan, who was standing to the side, put down her teacup and couldn't help but speak up.
"What do you mean by coming to attend my sister-in-law and brother's wedding? They're clearly here to ask for a bride price."
Zhenzhen, you have no idea how outrageous those people are.
The moment they met, he asked for a dowry of 50 yuan.
After arriving at our home and seeing that we were relatively well-off, they immediately changed their minds and asked for 500 million yuan. They really dared to dream of such a thing.
After Hu Yuanyuan finished speaking, she realized that what she said was not right. Those people were her sister-in-law's family members, and she was afraid that her sister-in-law would be unhappy, so she changed her words.
"What I mean is, they don't genuinely care about their sister-in-law."
If my parents give this money to my sister-in-law, she definitely won't have any objections.
But those people weren't taking the money for their sister-in-law at all; they wanted to sell her for a high price so they could get a wife for their son.
I heard from them that once they have money, they plan to buy a house and a car, and find a wife for their son.
"If they run out of money later, they'll try to leech off my brother and sister-in-law again."
Hu Yuanyuan has always been someone who speaks without thinking and is somewhat snobbish, so whether she explains or not, it seems to mean the same thing.
It's not that Tian Yunying's family members are being unreasonable and asking for too much.
Tian Yunying felt somewhat embarrassed and annoyed upon hearing this.
She wasn't angry at Hu Yuanyuan, but at her family for being so useless.
However, she already knew what kind of people her parents were.
From the moment they decided to marry her off, they had no hope for them anymore.
They asked for 500 million, which is simply impossible.
However, given her parents' character, they'll definitely cause trouble if she doesn't give them money.
"Sister Yunying, what are your plans?" Tian Zhenzhen thought she was worried about her parents' exploitation of her, which was difficult to resolve.
She could help, but it depends on Sister Yunying's attitude.
“I don’t want to give them this money. If I do, they’ll only ask for more and more in the future.”
Moreover, I don't owe them anything. The money they spent raising me when I was a child has long been paid back through years of working at home." These were Tian Yunying's true feelings.
It all started when her parents disregarded her desire to take the college entrance exam and forced her to get married.
She was filled with disappointment towards her parents and her family.
Moreover, she had been doing all the housework since she was a child, so she didn't feel like she owed her family anything.
From Tian Yunying's knowledge of escaping, it's clear that she is a thoughtful person who wants to break free from her fate.
"Okay, it's good that you can figure it out. I'll handle them."
Tian Zhenzhen thought that this was what troubled Tian Yunying, and she had many ways to make these people disappear from Yunying's sight.
"No, no, no, Zhenzhen, I didn't call you here because of the bride price."
I'm worried that my parents will recognize you, and what if they tell your parents?
If they knew you were so rich, they'd definitely come after you.
Although Tian Zhenzhen seems to be successful in her career now, Tian Yunying knows...
Zhenzhen is different from her; she has longed for her parents' love since she was a child.
She was afraid that Tian Zhenzhen would be too soft-hearted and get entangled with her parents, so she had to make things clear to Tian Zhenzhen beforehand.
"Sister Yunying, so that's what you were worried about. It's alright, I haven't seen them in a long time either, I'm just hoping they'll come to see me."
Tian Zhenzhen rubbed her fingers together. She had been thinking of visiting the Yu family recently.
Now it seems there's an even better excuse.
She is, after all, the true daughter of the Yu family. Since these people like to cause trouble in secret, she will make sure they never have a moment of peace.
She took the initiative, and only then would those little rats in the gutter show their fangs.
"Zhenzhen, is that really what you think?"
Tian Yunying was a little confused. Zhenzhen looked very relaxed, even more so than she was.
"Sister Yunying, you don't need to worry about me. You just need to be happy as a bride."
"Yes, sister-in-law, with Zhenzhen and us here, we definitely won't let anyone bully you," Hu Yuanyuan comforted her.
She had indeed looked down on Tian Yunying before, but Tian really is rich.
She was completely captivated by her.
"Where are they now?" Tian Zhenzhen asked about their whereabouts.
"They insisted on going to the factory with my parents, and I guess they'll be waiting a while before going home."
"Okay, Yuanyuan, I need your help with something."
Tian Zhenzhen didn't rush back to school and stayed at the Hu family's house for dinner.
The three chatted for a while, and Hu Yuanyuan was very attentive to Tian Zhenzhen.
They served her tea and water, and also prepared fruit and snacks for her.
They don't need the household servants to do it; they do it all themselves.
That fawning attitude left Tian Zhenzhen and Tian Yunying speechless.
Fortunately, time passed quickly, and when they heard noises outside, they knew that the person had returned.
There was nothing they could do; the person speaking had a very loud voice, and they could hear it clearly even inside the room.
“Mother-in-law, we just visited your factory, and I think my son Liangzi could definitely work as a manager there.”
That way you can relax a bit more; we're all family, so you'll feel more at ease using it.
The voice that spoke was that of a middle-aged man with an accent.
His tone was one of self-righteousness.
"Yes, my son Liangzi has been smart since he was a child. He was even the class monitor when he was in school."
Their management skills are definitely not a problem.
"It's definitely the right decision to have him manage your factory."
The person who spoke next was a middle-aged woman, and her tone was even more assertive than that of the middle-aged man who had spoken before.
In her eyes, managing a huge factory seemed to be just like being a foreman.
"Managing a factory is not difficult, it's just that the wages need to be higher, at least fifty or sixty thousand a month."
The last voice to speak was that of a young man. Good heavens, they're all from the same family; their tone is identical.
These three people are Tian Zhenzhen's uncle and his family.
Their family situation was similar to that of their uncle's family; they both had one son and one daughter.
It was precisely for this reason that Tian Yunying took great care of her cousin, who was a few years younger than her, compared to herself.
Although there wasn't much they could give, it was still a rare source of family affection for Tian Zhenzhen during her childhood.
Hu's parents and Hu Wenjie were at a loss for words when they heard their arrogant remarks.
I deal with many people in business, but this is the first time I've encountered someone so shameless.
It was Hu's mother who spoke first.
"Let's talk about work after the two children get married."
"We'll talk about it later. I've already said it's settled. We're all family now, so why are we being so formal?"
As they talked, they returned to the house.
When Tian Zhenzhen saw the Hu family, she greeted them warmly.
"Aunt Hu, Uncle Hu, Brother-in-law."
The Hu family was quite surprised to see Tian Zhenzhen there.
Didn't Yunying say before that it was best not to let her parents meet Tian Zhenzhen?
You can see that Tian Zhenzhen took the initiative to greet them.
Hu's mother immediately understood her thoughts.
Indeed, given the strength Tian Zhenzhen has demonstrated, there's nothing to fear.
"It's Zhenzhen! You haven't been to our house for quite some time now. You're getting more and more beautiful."
Hu's mother was very affectionate towards Tian Zhenzhen.
Mr. Hu gave Tian Zhenzhen a faint smile, and Hu Wenjie also greeted Tian Zhenzhen warmly.
