Chapter 1292 Marriage Fraud 10
On New Year's Day in 82, Li Zhengquan and Wei Xinxin got married secretly.
The Wei family asked Li Zhengquan for a dowry of 600 yuan. Li Zhengquan could not give a penny, so the Wei family did not agree to let Wei Xinxin marry him.
Wei Xinxin stole the household registration book and directly got a marriage certificate with Li Zhengquan.
Then the two of them took their marriage certificate and applied for a couple's dormitory from the school. At the beginning of the new semester, the couple moved into a one-bedroom and one-living-room couple's dormitory.
In the previous life, after the original owner married Li Zhengquan, Wei Xinxin targeted the original owner out of jealousy and caused the original owner to miss an opportunity to study in the imperial capital.
Therefore, when she saw Wei Xinxin falling into the cesspool of Li's regime, she did not warn her at all, but just watched with gloating.
But Wei Xinxin is not as real as the original owner.
After getting married, Wei Xinxin's attitude towards Li Honghong, her sister-in-law who ate for free, changed drastically. Not only did she ask her to do all the housework, she also went to get a box of matchboxes and asked her to glue them together.
Wei Xinxin's excuse was, "Pregnant women can't sit all the time. It's not good for the fetus and the future delivery. It's easy to have a difficult delivery. Pregnant women need to exercise more so that they can have a normal delivery faster. Doing housework can also be considered a form of exercise."
"My sister-in-law is a person with self-respect. It's not good for her to eat and drink for free at our house all the time. I'll give her some matchboxes to glue together. It will at least earn her some pocket money."
"Besides, she's going to give birth in a few months, and giving birth costs a lot of money. We can support her normally, but we can't continue to support her and her child after the baby is born."
Just like that, without giving Li Zhengquan and Li Honghong a chance to refuse, Wei Xinxin made all the arrangements for Li Honghong.
Li Honghong certainly didn't want to be controlled by Wei Xinxin. In her eyes, Li Zhengquan was her man and she was his original wife. It was only natural for Li Zhengquan to support her and the child. However, this could not be said openly and she did not dare to make a fuss.
Everything Wei Xinxin did and said made sense. If she wanted to make a fuss, then she was being unreasonable.
Pregnant women can’t work?
There are many pregnant women in rural areas who give birth to their children in the fields.
She is a pregnant woman who has come to live with her brother and sister-in-law, but she doesn't work and wants to be served. Where can she seek justice?
Li Honghong was not convinced, but had to willingly stick matchboxes together and do housework at home. This was completely different from her life in the previous life when she was served like a princess by her original owner.
Wei Xinxin and Li Zhengquan had just lived a peaceful life for half a month when Wei's family came to make trouble. They wanted to sue Li Zhengquan for abducting Wei Xinxin and even brought the matter to the school leaders.
The Wei family had only one goal, which was to ask Li Zhengquan to compensate Wei Xinxin's parents 600 yuan for the betrothal gift.
If there is no money, I will write an IOU and deduct it from my salary every month.
The school leaders also felt that Li Zhengquan was doing something immoral, not spending a penny, but coaxing someone else's daughter into hiding the truth from her parents and stealing the household registration booklet to get a marriage certificate with you.
The school leaders criticized and educated Li Zhengquan in front of the Wei family, and then with the mediation of the school leaders, the bride price was reduced from 600 yuan to 360 yuan.
The Wei family disagreed, saying the gift money was too little.
But the school leaders also said that since Li Zhengquan paid the bride price, the Wei family would have to pay the dowry.
When marrying off a daughter, you can't not pay a penny for the dowry.
If this gets out, the Wei family will be embarrassed.
The bride price was reduced to three hundred and sixty yuan, and the Wei family no longer had to pay a dowry. The three hundred and sixty yuan was considered a gift from Wei Xinxin and Li Zhengquan to Wei's parents.
The Wei family knew that if they couldn't get 600, they could only agree to 360, but no less. Otherwise, if they took Wei Xinxin back, Wei Xinxin's annual salary would be more than this amount.
The Wei family was afraid that Li Zhengquan would go back on his word, so they asked him to sign an IOU and deducted 20 yuan from his salary every month to pay off the betrothal money.
After the matter was handled and the Wei family was sent away, the school leaders severely criticized and educated Li Zhengquan and Wei Xinxin.
When the two men walked out of the office, Li Zhengquan's expression was gloomy, and he felt depressed and had no place to vent.
I originally wanted to marry a free nanny to take care of Honghong and the children, and have an extra person's salary to share the burden of the family with him, and I could also get a bigger house.
Who knew that he would end up losing the rice instead of the chicken?
Wei Xinxin is not a diligent person. She doesn't do any housework and throws it all to Li Honghong. She also nags about controlling Li Zhengquan's salary.
She made trouble when the Li regime didn't let her control it.
When a man gets married, his salary should be given to his wife to manage. If he doesn't let her manage it, does he want someone else to manage it?
When talking about this other person, Wei Xinxin also deliberately glanced at Li Honghong, the meaning was self-evident.
Li Zheng was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he also felt guilty. He was afraid that Wei Xinxin would find out something, so he didn't dare let her continue to make a fuss and had to agree to give her the salary.
Li Zhengquan went to the cafeteria to get food, and Li Honghong followed him out with a bowl. When they reached a place where no one was around, Li Honghong's eyes were red and she choked up, "Brother, you gave her all your money, what about me and the child?"
Li Zhengquan said tiredly, "Honghong, please bear with it for now. I will ask for your salary back after this period is over. I am a grown man, I can't be penniless."
Li Honghong could only suppress her reluctance and nodded in agreement.
After coming back, Li Honghong took small bowls to serve soup to the three of them. When Wei Xinxin wasn't looking, she spit into the bowl of soup twice.
While eating, Li Honghong smiled when she saw Wei Xinxin drinking the soup with relish.
After dinner, Li Honghong took the initiative to clean up the dishes and wash them.
Wei Xinxin gave her a look that said 'you're smart', then pulled Li Zhengquan into the room, and the two of them got very affectionate.
Hearing the noise in the house, Li Honghong almost bit her teeth with jealousy.
He is obviously her man and the father of her child, but now he is being intimate with another woman, right under her nose. She can't make a fuss and can only watch.
If she dares to make trouble, not to mention whether her husband's job can be kept, the Wei family will not let it go.
Li Honghong could only endure with tears in her eyes.
……
After dinner, Yuanchun felt really bad and wanted to go to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
Grandma Cai held her back and said, "Don't do it. Let them do it. You take a rest. When Xiaopang finishes washing the dishes, he will get you some water to wash your feet."
The Cai family’s housework is done by Uncle Cai and Little Fat Cai.
After Yuanchun got married, Grandma Cai never asked her to do housework. It was still the Cai family father and son who did it. Grandma Cai smiled and said, "You are my granddaughter-in-law, not a babysitter. Don't be embarrassed."
"Old Wu and his wife have raised you with great care for more than 20 years. Now that you have entered my family, my Cai family cannot afford to raise you roughly. We must also raise you with great care. My grandson can afford it."
Grandma Cai patted the back of her hand with a smile and said, "As long as you give me a big fat great-grandson or great-granddaughter as soon as possible, I will be happy."
The Cai family father and son cleaned up the kitchen and each of them brought out a basin of water for washing feet. Uncle Cai got one for his parents, and Fat Cai got one for Yuanchun.
Cai Xiaopang squatted down and wanted to wash Yuanchun's feet, which made Yuanchun embarrassed and kicked his hand.
