Chapter 1: Marriage Exchange
"Yingyue did something so immoral, and she still wants to marry into the richest family in the area, the Gao family? Will the Gao family want her?

"In my opinion, Yingyue should be married to the Qin family. Qin Dalang is a cripple and not young anymore. If you give him a woman, he will be grateful and will not despise her.

"As for the Gao family, let her second sister Xingyue marry into the family."

An old woman's voice said.

"Mom, not many people know about that incident. Only a few people in our family know about it..." Another young woman's voice was weaker, seeming to lack confidence.

"It was just getting dark, not the middle of the night. Can you guarantee that no one from the village walked by there at that time? Were they seen secretly?

"They just didn't say it right away. Believe it or not, in a few days the whole village will know about it. If the Gao family cancels the engagement again, where will our entire Liu family put our face? And we will have wasted a good marriage..." The old woman sneered.

Liu Yingyue was awakened by the voices of two women, one old and one young, and opened her eyes in shock.

She was stunned by what she saw.

Wasn't she on a mission in Africa with the special forces?
How come after taking a nap, I ended up in another place and became a different person?

In the outer room, the young woman and the old woman were still arguing with each other.

In the inner bedroom, Liu Yingyue, lying on the bed, was quickly digesting the information in her head.

She wears books!

She became the cannon fodder female supporting role in an ancient Chinese novel I read last year, who started off well but ended up being played around by others and eventually died tragically.

Well, we have the same name and surname, both called Liu Yingyue.

The original owner was sixteen years old. His grandfather was an old failed scholar and his father was the head of the village.

My grandparents, parents are all alive, and I have older brothers and sisters.

Our family is not wealthy, but compared with other people in the village, we are one of the wealthier ones.

A year ago, her family arranged a marriage for her. She was the youngest son of Mr. Gao, a wealthy man from the next village.

The original owner was gentle and obedient, and adhered to the virtues of a woman.

After the engagement, she just weaved and embroidered at home every day, never interacted with other men, and met Gao Xiaolangjun very few times.

But last night, he did something shocking.

This led to the conversation between the original owner's mother and grandmother just now.

"Mom, I want to discuss this with Yingyue first..."

"What are we still discussing? How dare she disagree?"

Liu Yingyue sorted out her surroundings, got out of bed, and knocked on the locked door.

"Mom, grandma, I agree to the marriage exchange."

Madam Liu was delighted when she heard her daughter's voice, but when she saw her mother-in-law staring at her coldly, she immediately lost her joy and said with a wooden face, "Ying'er, are you awake? Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"

"What are you eating? It's immoral, have you admitted your mistake? All you know is eating! You'll starve to death if you don't eat for a day!" Old Mrs. Liu glared coldly at the door.

Madam Liu said hurriedly, "Mother, she just said she agreed to the marriage exchange. I think she... knows she was wrong."

"Mom, I haven't done anything wrong, so why should I admit my mistake? However, I agree to the marriage exchange. I will marry the Qin family and my second sister will marry the Gao family. But I have to get three shares of the dowry! One share from my family, one share from the second house, and one share from my grandparents." Liu Yingyue said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

What her family thought was wrong was not her fault.

It was obvious that she had fallen into someone else's trap!

But no one at home believed her, and she was locked up for a day and a night.

Why should she waste her breath? Besides, the Gao family was not a good match.

Old Lady Liu was so angry that her face turned blue. She pointed at the door and shouted, "Old man, listen to this, is this the way she admits her mistake?

“You and I both saw her hugging a wild man, and you still said… and you still said it was right?
"You still have the nerve to ask for more dowry? Oh, what sin did my Liu family commit in the previous life to have such a shameless thing come to our door? I'm so angry!"

Old Mrs. Liu cursed, slapped her leg, and stamped her feet.

Madam Liu hurriedly advised her, "Mom, please keep your voice down. Be careful not to be heard by the neighbors."

Old Lady Liu sneered, "When she was hugging and kissing someone, didn't she think that the neighbors would know about it? Oh, she was shameless and did such an ugly thing, and she was afraid of me saying it?"

Madam Liu was scolded so hard that she couldn't respond and was left there in embarrassment.

In the room, Liu Yingyue said again, "Grandma, do you agree with the three dowries? If you don't agree, I won't marry! I insist on marrying into the Gao family.

"But if that happens, the Gao family will cancel the engagement after knowing about it, and my second sister won't be able to marry into the Gao family. What kind of family is the Gao family? How can they tolerate people like us playing tricks on them?"

When Old Lady Liu heard this, she stopped howling and stayed where she was.

The Gao family has connections in the capital.

Young Master Gao has reached the age for marriage. Who in the surrounding area who has a daughter would not want to marry into the Gao family?
If possible, Old Lady Liu would like to marry all the unmarried girls in the family to the Gao family.

"you dare!"

Thinking of losing this good relative, Old Lady Liu jumped up in anger, opened the door, and raised her hand to slap Liu Yingyue.

Liu Yingyue was agile and pushed Old Lady Liu onto the chair first.

"Grandma, just tell me whether you agree or not! If we delay any further, maybe the Gao family will already know about it. It's better to agree to the matter first, and then we can take the initiative to go to their house and talk to them.

"His family will not cancel the engagement because of the long-term friendship between the two families. But if his family finds out first...they will blame our family for hiding it from them and not take their family seriously. Think about it yourself, grandma."

Madam Liu looked at Liu Yingyue in surprise.

How come my daughter, who was crying non-stop and couldn't speak clearly when she was brought home yesterday, became so talkative in just one day?

With such clever eyes and such aggressive aura, how can she be the look of an unmarried sixteen-year-old girl?

She looks more like an older woman who has experienced a lot.

Old Mrs. Liu was also shocked by Liu Yingyue's eyes and started to curse while slapping her thigh.

"You...you...you damn girl, you dare to push your grandmother? You...you...you...do you want to rebel?"

Madam Liu pulled Liu Yingyue's hand with a worried look on her face.

"Ying'er, have you thought it through? This is a marriage, and you can't regret it for the rest of your life if you agree to it. The Qin family saved your grandfather, and they are indebted to our family. Even if you don't live well in the Qin family, you can't leave the Qin family. Have you thought it through?"

Thinking of the Qin family's financial situation, Madam Liu felt so annoyed that she sighed.

The eldest son of the Qin family saved the old man, but his legs were broken and he became a disabled person.

The old man felt bad and promised the Qin family that he would marry his second wife's daughter Liu Xingyue to them as compensation.

The second sister-in-law didn't want her daughter to suffer and was so angry that she wanted to kill herself.

So why not?

But her daughter did something wrong, and she couldn't escape the marriage with the Qin family.

"Well, I've thought about it. Now it depends on whether grandma agrees to give three dowries." Liu Yingyue said calmly.
