"Oh dear, I can't go on living! My precious daughter, how could you marry such a heartless man! I can't take it anymore..."
The old lady had somehow moved to the window, one leg dangling outside, just like that day with Yao Hui. It was no surprise they were mother and daughter. But this time, they were on the tenth floor!
The ladder couldn't reach...
"Mom! Mom! Are you okay?" Yu Jiamin and I rushed over to give her water, quickly pulling out the emergency heart medication she always carried and administering it to her.
Yao Hui remained completely unfazed; she even walked over to her mother and opened another window...
"Enough! What do you want from us?" Mother finally regained her composure, and I had Ming Yuan lead her to the bedroom.
"Divorce? You have to compensate for my daughter's youth; she won't be able to marry anyone else after this. 200,000, not a penny less!"
The old lady spoke clearly and concisely, truly impressive.
"Where am I supposed to get that money? My salary card has been with Yao Hui all along; she hasn't left me a single cent. I've spent all my family's savings on the bride price—am I supposed to pay with my life?" I was furious! Did this family really care only about money?
"Then just wait for a lawsuit! Oh my daughter! My life is worth nothing now; if I die, at least I'll leave you some dowry~~" Her cries grew louder, yet her leg remained stubbornly perched on the windowsill.
Would a miser fear death? I wouldn't believe it. But right now, I felt utterly helpless. Should I call the police? A fair judge can't resolve family matters, especially with these two acting like stubborn pigs who aren't afraid of boiling water—would they be afraid of the police?
"200,000, is it? Dong Xiaohui is only worth that much? I'll give it to you!"
Yu Jiamin, who had been silent all along, pulled out a check from her pocket and casually signed it for the amount of two hundred thousand.
"You can verify if the check is real at the bank! I am the legal entity, my signature is valid, take it! Stop bothering him!" Yu Jiamin waved her hand, the check dangling from her fingertips as if she were calling a dog.
"What are you doing? I can't pay this back..." I grabbed Yu Jiamin's arm.
"No need, it'll be deducted from your salary!" Yu Jiamin replied haughtily; indeed, wealthy people always seemed to breathe with such confidence.
The two women seemed to leap over from the window like they had been granted a pardon, snatching the check and carefully counting the zeros on it.
"Ten, hundred, thousand... Miss, can you double-check if this is correct?" the elderly woman asked Yao Hui.
"Yes, two hundred thousand! Let's go withdraw it!" The two of them pushed open the door and were ready to leave, as if everything that had just happened was none of their concern.
"Wait!" I called after them.
"Yao Hui, let me ask you one more question. After these six months together, do you really have no feelings for me at all?"
"Feelings? Hahaha, what nonsense are you talking about?" Yao Hui's eyes flashed with a sharpness like a blade. "I hate all men— you, you, and you!" She pointed at the fat guy, then at me, and finally at Ming Yuan, who had just come out of the bedroom and quickly retreated in embarrassment.
"You men deserve to die! Favoring boys over girls? Marriage is a vulgar farce? Why is it always us women who get hurt?" She gritted her teeth. "Mother is right; having a daughter is a sin! But I refuse to accept that! I will prove in my own way that all you men are worthless scum!"
Hatred can cloud one's judgment...
Xiao Pang lowered his head in embarrassment, making me feel a wave of disgust. This guy really was a disgrace to men.
"You... just go, Yao Hui. You had a chance to change things, but your mother's shadow has obscured your perception of the outside world. Many people...
"Men are not what you think they are..."
"Pah!" Yao Hui spat, linking arms with her mother and walking away without looking back.
"Sigh..." I let out a long breath. "When will the days of working to pay off debts ever end..."
Yu Jiamin shot me a harsh glare after hearing that.
Six months later, Jiamin and I held a grand wedding ceremony in front of our family and friends.
I truly didn't expect that in paying off my debts, I would end up entangling my own people in it.
Jiamin stood on the stage in a pure white wedding dress, looking as beautiful as a fairy from a painting!
I jogged over to take her hand from her father, embracing her with excitement.
Amidst the applause, I leaned in close to her ear and whispered, "So that 200,000 isn't something I have to pay back, right? Can you leave me some salary...?"
"Ah, you remember that? Well, that check wasn’t stamped, so they can’t cash it. You’re right; you all should learn some common sense!" Jiamin laughed so hard her eyeliner went askew.
"They can't cash it? Wouldn't that cause a scene at my house?" I genuinely worried about it and felt a bit scared.
"Well, I don't know about that. But I do remember once when I lost a 200,000 check and reported it to the police."
Goodness! You really are something...
