Chapter 235 What Are You Doing Here in the Middle of the Night?
"Go ahead and make a scene now. Let the entire village know that your daughter ran away with someone. Let’s see if you can survive the tidal wave of gossip." Zhang Youfu was also angry, but he was sensible enough to know that causing a ruckus would not solve anything; it would only make them the laughing stock.
After all, their daughter had run away, and the one losing face was them. The Si family got a daughter-in-law without much effort and would be praised everywhere.
Chen Jinlan was so angry that she almost fainted again. She could not help but want to grab a kitchen knife, charge to the Si’s residence and fight Lin Fengying, gritting her teeth and saying, "My daughter, who I raised for about 20 years, did I just give her away for free?"
Zhang Youfu snorted, thinking that this was why women should not be allowed to be in charge. In such situations, women tend to be short-sighted, unable to handle matters calmly, and just cause more drama.
He should’ve just done as Si Boyi suggested and allow the two children to get married. Their family isn’t losing anything and they could even gain favor from the Si family.
Now that their daughter had run off, they became the passive side, their advantageous situation was ruined by his wife.
"If you ask me, go meet with Fengying to discuss things. As Boyi suggested, let’s arrange the marriage for the two kids as soon as possible. As the saying goes, ’It’s no good to keep old maids’. Let’s not pretend to be dumb and become a laughing stock."
"I raised my daughter from diapers, and you’re just going to give her away?" Chen Jinlan adamantly refused, standing up angrily, shouting about going to find Lin Fengying for justice, "If she doesn’t return my daughter today, I swear I’ll die right in front of their doorstep."
