Chapter 4
Chapter 4 — Destroying the Wedding Party
But it wasn't until today that I understood why it had to be organized separately. If I dared to ask for a bride price deduction right in front of my relatives, I would have been beaten to a pulp by my brother! I never thought that that gentle-looking man was such a thoughtful person. Luckily, I finally saw the truth clearly. When everyone was almost finished eating, Manh Minh Trach wiped his mouth, took out an envelope and stuffed it in my hand.
"Lo Lo, this is 10,000 dowry, the remaining 10,000 will be given after the marriage registration is completed. Let's go, the office will be closed if you're late!"
I counted the money in my hand, so angry that I burst out laughing.
“Lo Lo?”
Manh Minh Trach was about to pull me away, but unexpectedly I suddenly yanked his hand away. I smiled coldly, scanning everyone.
"The 120,000 bride price was reduced to 20,000, and now it's even reduced to 10,000. If the Manh family is crazy poor, then don't get married! Why would you lose face by showing it off!"
The room was silent for a second, then the Manh family members began cursing loudly. Manh's father angrily threw the wine glass on the table and glared at me fiercely.
"You dare to cause trouble like this before even entering the door? Manh Minh Trach, if you can't teach this woman, let me teach you instead!"
After speaking, he strode towards me. Just as the group was about to rush in to hold me back, the banquet room door was kicked open. My brother brought my parents, uncle, cousin, younger brother... a whole bunch of people entered. He shouted loudly:
“I'll see who dares to touch my sister!”
Seeing a group of my family's male relatives entering, the men of the Manh family who were being aggressive earlier immediately fell silent. Even Manh's father, who was about to rush in to hold me, stopped midway, his face becoming embarrassed.
“Master, why are you all here?”
My parents were so angry that they almost cursed.
“If we don't come, won't you bully our precious daughter?”
“There is no such thing!”
Mother Manh smiled fakely, changing her voice to be as sweet as honey.
"Lo Lo is about to be our daughter-in-law, there's no time to love her yet, how can we bully her? It's just to teach some manners, so that people won't laugh at her in the future."
"We, daughters of the Quan family, don't need anyone to teach us manners!"
My father's words rang out loud and full of spirit, becoming the strongest support for me. I suddenly felt much more secure. Just as I was about to speak, someone pulled my hand. Looking back, Manh Minh Trach was frowning at me.
"Why don't you say a word and call your parents? Isn't that intentionally making you lose face?"
I looked at him and smiled, then forcefully pulled my hand away, my voice rang out clearly for the whole room to hear:
"Meng Minh Trach, do you still have face? With what you have done, you should be ashamed!"
Manh Minh Trach's face changed completely, he raised his hand to hold me back. But before he could touch me, my brother and cousin blocked me right in front of him.
“Do you want to take action, kid?”
Manh Minh Trach did not have any physical strength at all, standing in front of my brother - a fitness trainer - he was like a chicken, weak and unbearable. He immediately stepped back, smiling wryly:
"Don't joke, I just want to talk to Lo Lo privately."
My brother shook his hand away and sneered:
“That's great, I also have something to do want to ask. I heard that on the way to register the marriage, you left my sister in the middle of the road in the cold wind, is that true?
“That…”
Manh Minh Trach hesitated, not daring to say anything. His mother saw her son being attacked and quickly jumped out to argue:
“What does that have to do with my child! It's also because that bastard Quan Lo doesn't know how to behave! What if I leave it alone? A big girl, can't she still know her way around?!”
As soon as she finished speaking, my sister-in-law - who studies Thai Quan - rushed towards her and grabbed her hair.
“Old bitch, if you don't keep your mouth clean, I'll drag you to the bathroom to wash it clean!”
My sister-in-law's health was amazing. She pulled Manh's mother in so much pain that she cried and screamed.
“My child! Minh Trach! Quickly save mom!”
Manh Minh Trach's face turned pale, but my family was so crowded, he didn't dare to act rashly, he could only grit his teeth and stare at me.
“Lo Lo, have you caused enough trouble? We're about to get married, but your family beat my mother, so why bother registering?"
I laughed coldly, took the glass of wine and threw it straight at his face.
“Sign up? You dream!”
