Thank you readers!

Gao Ying was slightly moved by her mother's words.

Her eyes flashed with agony by the end of her speech.

She took a deep breath and said defiantly, "I'm not leaving, Mom! I understand what you say, but I just can't do it.

"I only love Bro Dazhu and no other man. Bro Dazhu is poor, but that's OK. We have hands and feet and we can earn a living. We might suffer now, but we will have a bright future.

"Mom, didn't you say that you and Dad were poor when you married him? But aren't you fine now?"

Mrs. Gao was stunned and had no response to that.

"Silly girl, times are different now, so how could your situation be the same? You don't have to suffer but why do you insist so? Is it that easy to earn money? Your Bro Dazhu isn't very educated and can only do menial work. Is there a future in that?"

Shi Dazhu stood aside and silently listened to it all. He gritted his teeth and displayed an expression of agony.

He could only lament his incapability.

Uncle sighed. He looked helpless.

He was happy with Gao Ying. She was beautiful and was diligent with housework.

However, this was reality!

He lived in a mountain village and did not have much money. He could not afford to have a daughter-in-law from the city. The bride price alone was already one hundred thousand yuan. His family did not have that much money.

Auntie also sighed. She looked at Dazhu with pity.

The villagers shook their heads. They knew that it was too difficult for a villager to court a wife from the city.

"Stop fooling around, Ying'er. Go home with me now. Your Dad and I will never agree to this marriage. This isn't up to you to decide!" Mrs. Gao said sternly and dragged her daughter out.

"Don't force me, Mom. Why can't you just let me petulant just this once?" Gao Ying was on the verge of tears.

"No. I can compromise with everything else but this."

Gao Ying put on a pitiful face. "Mom, if you want me to leave, then I'd rather die!"

Mrs. Gao was shocked. "You... You silly girl, how dare you say that? Do you want to anger me to death?"

Mrs. Gao was angry, though she became less aggressive. She was afraid that her daughter might do something stupid out of desperation.

Dazhu stepped forward and kneeled on the ground.

"Please allow me to marry Ying'er, Madam! I will work hard and do my best to bring happiness to Ying'er."

Mrs. Gao was taken aback. Weakness flashed in her eyes.

She did not dislike Dazhu, but his family was too poor, and she could not bear to see her daughter suffer a life of poverty.

She sighed lightly. Just when she was about to speak again, she heard a shrill voice coming from next to her.
