[Quick Wear] On strike, please don't disturb your ex

Chapter 232: The Substitute Lover is on Strike (17)

Later, Cheng Baogui remembered something. A friend he had known before seemed to like Cheng Fanli and asked him if Cheng Fanli had a boyfriend. After learning that Cheng Fanli didn't have a boyfriend, he still chatted with Cheng Fanli and chased after her. Naturally, he was rejected by Cheng Fanli.

Thinking of this, he said, "I have a friend whose family is quite wealthy. He liked Cheng Fanli before. How about marrying her to him?"

Father Cheng: "Do you still have the contact information of this friend? Talk to him."

Cheng Baogui: "Okay, he asked me where Cheng Fanli works some time ago, so I think it will work out."

Cheng Baogui couldn't help feeling happy when he thought about getting hundreds of thousands of dollars in dowry by marrying Cheng Fanli off, and maybe even a house or a car.

When it comes to Cheng Fanli's marriage and future, the three of them have absolutely no intention of discussing it with Cheng Fanli, and they totally don't take her seriously.

It seemed as if he was certain that Cheng Fanli would agree.

This is an extremely typical and terrible Chinese feudal patriarchal attitude, favoring sons over daughters, arranging marriages, and treating daughters as tradable commodities to be "sold" for profit.

They don't treat their adult daughter as an independent person at all. All they care about is their parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. They do whatever they want.

But we forget that we have entered a new era.

Or maybe the Cheng family was left behind during the reform and opening up.

Of course, there are more than just the Cheng family. There may be thousands of families that are worse than the Cheng family.

......

Cheng Fanli looked at the incoming call. After a few seconds, she got up and went to an empty window and answered the call.

As soon as the phone was connected, Cheng's mother's voice was heard.

The first thing he did was to accuse me.

"Why did it take you so long to answer the phone?"

Cheng Fanli looked at the cloudy sky outside the window, it looked like it was going to rain.

She said, "Mom, I'm at work."

Mother Cheng didn't really want to hear Cheng Fanli's explanation. She simply blamed Cheng Fanli and then said, "Let me tell you something."

Cheng Fanli replied calmly, "Yeah."

"Quit your job and pack up and come back. Your father and I have found a partner for you. His family has a car and a house, and we are willing to give you a dowry of 500,000 yuan, plus a car."

"You can't find such conditions even if you search with a lantern. Your father and I spent a lot of effort to find them. After you get married, you must respect us well and help your brother. We are your mother's family."

Hearing this, Cheng Fanli was very disappointed, and his expression cracked a little, but soon returned to his calm look.

Cheng Fanli sighed so softly that it was almost inaudible.

She knew that her parents only cared about her younger brother, but Cheng Fanli knew without much thought that they were in a hurry to marry her off in exchange for a dowry.

The man on the other side did not hide his joy at all, and still pretended to be doing it for her own good.

"Mom, don't say this again next time. I won't listen to you."

"That's it. I'm going to work."

After saying that, Cheng Fanli hung up the phone.

Cheng Fanli had no intention of arguing with them. She was even a little numb to their thoughts. Cheng Fanli had heard from Cheng Mengyun that they asked for one million yuan some time ago. At that time, she was wondering what absurd thoughts and behaviors she would have when she called her next time. Now she knew.

Their thoughts are solidified and cannot be shaken or changed at all. They can only force their thoughts on Cheng Fanli.

Cheng's father and mother never said a word of praise to Cheng Fanli. What they said was as derogatory as possible. If she built up her self-confidence from other sources, it would be destroyed by the blows that day. They kept suppressing her, especially after they could no longer control Cheng Mengyun. They pointed at Cheng Fanli and scolded her every day. No matter what she did, it was wrong, and she was not allowed to have any rebellious thoughts.

It would be fine if it were all like this, but it is not. Their attitude towards their sister Cheng Mengyun and Cheng Fanli is completely different from their attitude towards Cheng Baogui. Cheng Baogui, as his name suggests, is the precious son that the Cheng family's parents value. Cheng Mengyun is the first daughter born to the Cheng family, and they were nice to her at the beginning. As for Cheng Fanli, since she was the second child, they thought of selling her to another family. But the family that was chosen happened to get pregnant, so Cheng Fanli was kept.

However, Cheng Fanli has never felt any love in the twenty years since she was born.

Life in that environment was suffocating and even hard to breathe. Cheng Fanli wished she could stay away from that home and no longer had any expectations of her biological parents.
