Chapter 97: The Battle
Auntie Cheng's eyes showed a hint of disdain. She snorted inwardly, thinking, She hasn't even settled down yet, and she's already messing around with a guy in her own house. What a shameless girl. She smiled and said, “Your parents let the young man come over. They must be willing to do this. It's just a matter of time before you settle down.”
“Yuwei, I remembered something. I'll go first.” Feng Shuangxi was terrified of Sisi. He didn't dare stay long.
“I'll walk you out.” Li Yuwei said thoughtfully.
“It's cold outside. You should stay inside.” Feng Shuangxi left.
Li Yuwei smiled. “Okay, see you later.”
Auntie Cheng was eager to spread gossip, so she found an excuse to leave too.
Only Ying Sisi and Li Yuwei were left in the room.
Li Yuwei smiled triumphantly. “See? Feng Shuangxi cares about me so much. You'll never get that kind of care.”
Ying Sisi cursed. “You're sick!” Why would I want Feng Shuangxi to care about me?
I want to strangle him.
You stinking rogue!
“You're the one who's sick!” Li Yuwei snorted and turned back to her room.
Ying Sisi took out the fabric and started cutting it.
She spent the whole afternoon cutting the fabric and laying out the cotton.
Just then, Song Hanmei came in, threw her handbag onto the chair, and pushed open Li Yuwei's room door violently. “I heard Feng Shuangxi came today. Were you doing it in the room with him?”
Li Yuwei immediately suspected that Sisi had told her. “Mom, don't listen to Sisi's lies.”
“Auntie Cheng said so. The whole street knows.” Song Hanmei was mortified when she remembered Auntie Cheng's contemptuous look.
Li Yuwei's face turned pale. “She's lying. I'll go talk to her.”
“Lying? If Feng Shuangxi didn't come over, would she dare to make this up? How many times have I told you? Don't let Feng Shuangxi come over when we're not home.”
“Qin Yanci came over today. Why don't you say anything about Sisi?”
Song Hanmei put her hand to her forehead. She was so angry. After a pause, she said weakly, “I don't care about you anymore.”
Li Yuwei thought, It's because you don't care when you should and you care when you shouldn't that Auntie Cheng has a chance to spread rumors about me. If you didn't take the household registration away and let me get a marriage certificate with Feng Shuangxi, why would there be so much trouble?
“What are you arguing about again?” Li Junlu also came home from work. He seemed to be in a good mood.
Ying Sisi stepped forward and told him.
Li Junlu's face turned green. He berated Li Yuwei. “It's Feng Shuangxi again. Ever since you have been with that Feng Shuangxi, you have been as unlucky as if a bad omen had followed you. You have lost your reputation and your job. Heaven doesn't want you to be together. Why can't you see through it?”
Li Yuwei remained unmoved. If you want to wear the crown, you have to bear the weight.
Good things take time.
Although she is in a low place now, every step she takes from now on will be upward.
When she looks back from the top, everything she's going through today will be worth it. “I have made up my mind about Feng Shuangxi.”
Li Junlu almost spat out blood. In a fit of anger, he shouted, “Okay! You've made up your mind, haven't you? Then get married. I won't give you a penny in dowry. And don't expect to get any dowry from me. All my money will go to your sister.”
Ying Sisi declared her position seriously. “I don't want it.” Don't try to shift the blame to me.
Song Hanmei said, “If you don't want it, then don't say we didn't prepare any dowry for you.”
Ying Sisi said, “Did you give me anything? It's one thing for you to give it and another for me to refuse it. If you don't want to give it, don't make excuses.”
Song Hanmei said, “…You, Old Li, look at her. She's twisting words.”
“You can't control your own daughter, so you're trying to control someone else's.”
“Li Junlu, what do you mean?”
“What do I mean, you know.”
The two of them started to argue. Sisi was happy to step out of the battle she had created.
Go ahead and fight. Fight hard.
