Chapter 425: Chapter 300 The Farce is Still On_3

"I remember now..." Hongji’s father slapped his head, having only a blurry recollection of what happened after drinking.

"Wuuuuuu" The girl continued to cry.

Her father said, "Relative, brother-in-law, you remember that it was you who entered my daughter’s room, right?"

The girl’s mother, now armed with more compelling evidence, understood that if the man admitted it, she could play the victim card.

"Well, we only invited you over for drinks, never expecting you to harbor ulterior motives for my daughter. My poor girl, why are you so unlucky!"

The girl’s brothers brought in sticks and were ready to beat them unless they agreed to the marriage.

The entire family became menacing, ready to fight at a moment’s disagreement, and even threatening to expose them if they did not agree.

Previously, the girl’s sister-in-law was there, but later, fearing the children would come and see, they moved the kids to another room to avoid influencing them in this chaotic setting.

That’s what you do for your own children, as for the soon-to-be married younger sister, a lazy loiter around the house, she should be driven out.

Hongji’s father... how can you be so fierce? I’m still considering it. When did I say I wouldn’t marry her? Please don’t expose us!

Mrs. Lai was usually quite boastful, but now regretted giving their workers the day off. She should have brought more backup.

"Don’t mess around! We’ll report you to the authorities if you dare to hit us!"

"Hmph, report us? Fine, we’ll accuse you of bullying others with your power. Even though you have money, how shameless to enter a girl’s room – you and your spouse deserve to be in jail."

"Yes, send them to jail for using their power to bully and rape a woman!"

Hongji’s father still hadn’t cleared his mind, his vision blurry, but he did remember going to the toilet. In a hazy memory, it seemed like a girl was holding his hand.

But at this moment, with the other party ready to fight, how could he accuse their daughter of seducing him?

Her family might be a bit overbearing, but after all, she’s a young girl, and since he had already been with her, giving her a minor status wouldn’t be a problem.

He had resolved to marry the girl as a concubine, even if he could not marry her formally, and would have to offer a few rounds of gift money.

However, the issue of the gift money was troubling for him, especially as they would surely demand a fortune in such a confrontational situation.

Although he wished to have his own son, wasn’t it all still uncertain?

How could he give away so much family wealth to strangers? How would he face his eldest son and his daughters?

Hongji’s father had saved some money over the years, hiding it just like his wife did.

Before the family invested in the factory, Mrs. Lai managed all the money earned from carpentry. Since the establishment of the wood factory, he occasionally worked there, and did private jobs at home, saving all his wages over the past two years.

He had not told Mrs. Lai the truth, feeling that as a man, he must have some secret funds; in the past, father and son had managed this together.

Lately, most of his son’s earnings were no longer given to Mrs. Lai, and even the expenses for building houses and daily living were not under her control.

With his status as an elder in the family swelling, he secreted away the money and gifts he received for his birthday, and exchanged them for silver notes in the county.

These were things he would never share with outsiders, not with his son, daughter-in-law, or her family.

The idea of taking a concubine emerged later. Although he might need his son’s financial help, he had to prevent the family from going bankrupt – business is never that smooth.

What would he do when he got old without money?

It is impossible to work as a carpenter forever, or to expect to do so when one is too old to move.

"Everyone stop arguing! Things have come to this, so let’s negotiate. I’ll take the girl as my concubine. Tell me, how much gift money do you want?"

With her husband laying his cards on the table, she faced the other party, who stopped and looked pleased.

Mrs. Lai roared unwillingly:

"Husband, don’t fall for their trap; they’re just trying to extort us!"

Hongji’s father also shouted, "Do you really want them to report us? Do you want your husband in jail?"

"Husband, they’re setting us up. I’m sure the County Magistrate will investigate, and I don’t believe there won’t be any clues. We just need to ask the Tang Family for help, and they can sort this out!"

Mrs. Lai was adamantly opposed. Coming to her parents’ home only to end up sharing her husband with a temptress was beyond her control and as a woman, how could she accept it?

But what use was her objection? Sweating cold sweat even in the depth of winter, she pondered her future predicament...!
