He had no choice, he had no money.
âIn our family, itâs my daughter-in-law whoâs in charge, I donât even handle the money!â Zhou Taoâs father said, obviously troubled.
Such things, they did not wish for, yet they were truly helpless.
But being able to spend less money on marrying a daughter-in-law was definitely a good thing.
Besides, he felt that there was nothing wrong with what his wife had said.
âFine, your family has calculated everything, already discussed it all. Daughter, do you see? This is the man youâve set your heart on. You havenât even married him yet, and itâs already like this. After you marry him, can there be any good days ahead!â the brideâs mother said to her daughter, with tears flashing in her eyes!
âMom, but, what should I do now that Iâm pregnant? Zhou Tao, youâve truly disappointed me!â the bride cried as she looked at Zhou Tao.
What could she do now?
Now that she was pregnant with Zhou Taoâs child, she had to marry him, whether she married now or later.
At that moment, she truly regretted everything.
But now it was too late to say anything.
It was shameful.
She had brought shame upon her own parents!
ââ®ï¹ââ® Sob, sob, sob.
âSister, donât cry, donât cry, Zhou Tao, are you still a man? You used to treat my sister so well, was it all an act? You brought her late-night snacks, gave her an umbrella in the rain, picked her up from work, took her out for fun, treated her so nicely, was all of it fake? Now my sister is carrying your child, how can you treat my sister this way? Are you really that afraid of your mom, is that being a man? Whereâs the responsibility of a man? I used to think that you could give my sister happiness. Now, it seems youâre just a loser!â At this moment, the brideâs brother stood up and pointed at the groom and cursed.
âLi Liang, say that again. Iâve been letting you off because youâre younger. Donât make a scene here!â Zhou Tao said angrily at that moment.
How could he tolerate being spoken to like this by this boy who was two or three years younger than him?
âWhat, you want to hit me?â Li Liang said, his eyes full of anger.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
He wasnât afraid!
Fighting was no big deal!
If Li Liang screamed in pain, then he wasnât a man!
âI do want to hit you. So what, if it werenât for your sisterâs sake, I would have dealt with you a long time ago. Iâm telling you, youâre not fit to stand up to me!â Zhou Tao said with indignation.
âZhou Tao, you want to hit my brother? Try touching him. You think I, Li Shanshan, am that easy to bully? Itâs fine if the wedding is called off, Iâm not keen! So what if itâs about the child, I donât want it, even if that means I wonât marry in this lifetime, I wonât marry you, Iâve seen through your familyâs true faces, truly disgusting!â the bride, Li Shanshan, said angrily.
Seeing the man she loved about to hit her brother, she instantly became enraged!
Her brother had always protected her since she was young, and he was still protecting her now.
At this moment, Li Shanshan felt that she had truly let her family down.
Indeed, she had embarrassed her parents and her brother.
She was wrong.
âLi Shanshan, do you know what youâre saying?â Zhou Tao was stunned, his eyes reddened as he stared at Li Shanshan.
âI know what Iâm saying. I said Iâm not getting married, not going ahead with it. Of course, the hundred thousand you gave us, we wonât return it. Since Iâm pregnant, consider it compensation. If youâre not willing, you can sue us. If you win, weâll give you back the hundred thousand dowry. Iâm telling you, Zhou Tao, itâs not that Iâve wronged you, itâs you whoâve wronged me!â Li Shanshan said, word by word.
âSlap!â Zhou Tao directly slapped her across the face.
The next second, he froze, staring at his own hand.
He didnât mean to. It was just that he became too emotional and lashed out at Li Shanshan in the heat of the moment.
After all, Li Shanshan was the woman he loved.
âDamn it, Zhou Tao, you actually dare to hit my sister, Iâll fight you!â Li Liang immediately rushed forward, grappling with Zhou Tao and falling to the ground.
The loud slap made the second-floor living room go quiet.
Everyone was stunned!
Witnessing the scene, they were truly shocked.
A man who hits a woman is naturally no good.
Especially under such circumstances.
The crowd looked at the several members of the Zhou family with eyes full of scorn, disdain, and weirdness.
Zhou Taoâs parents were also stunned; they had not expected their son to hit Li Shanshan.
Thisâ¦
âVery well, your son actually hit our precious daughter, weâll remember this!â Li Shanshanâs parents glared viciously at Zhou Taoâs parents.
âDaughter, are you okay? It doesnât hurt; mom is here. You suffered grievances, and itâs my fault!â Li Shanshanâs mother hugged her daughter and began to cry as well.
Her child, to thinkâ¦
âChild, donât worry, weâre your parents, how could we possibly blame you? We feel for you. You donât have to marry, donât marry, we will take care of you for life. Letâs not marry!â Li Shanshanâs mother said while crying and holding Li Shanshan.
Her poor child.
âLi Liang, do you really think I wouldnât fight back? Damn it!â Pinned underneath, Zhou Tao abruptly turned over, pinned Li Liang down, and started beating him hard, quickly leaving him bruised and swollen.
