Chapter 2 Dowry
"Xiao Ge, you've suffered." Yu Shulan wiped Lin Ge's tears with a handkerchief, then turned around and scolded Li Luo: "Your family are evil, you have ruined our Li family so badly! Fortunately, Xiao Ge found us, otherwise I don't know how much injustice we would have suffered!"

Yu Shulan sang little songs on the left and "our Li family" on the right, completely excluding Li Luo, as if the eighteen years of family affection was a joke.

"As for the marriage, it was originally arranged for the son of the Qi family and the daughter of the Li family. It has nothing to do with you, Li Luo. You should go back to your Lin family and complete the marriage that your father arranged for you!"

Yu Shulan's whole mind was on Lin Ge, so how could she care about Li Luo's life or death?

The sneer on Li Luo's lips grew stronger. She stretched with disdain and yawned loudly: "Mrs. Yu, you are beating around the bush. Aren't you trying to get me to marry that old man for your daughter?"

"Okay, I'll marry you."

Yu Shulan originally wanted to talk some more, but she didn't expect Li Luo to agree so readily, as if she had heard it wrongly: "Are you really willing to marry for Xiaoge?"

Li Luo nodded: "You heard me right, it's okay to marry her."

Lin Ge was delighted, this Li Luo was indeed a fool.

"But..." Li Luo glanced at Lin Ge, who was about to smile, and paused, "After all, the Li family is a wealthy family. If such a scandal of forcing their adopted daughter to marry an old man gets out, I'm afraid the Li family will lose face."

Yu Shulan was not a fool either, and she knew that Li Luo's words implied that he was asking for benefits.

She was so angry at Li Luo that she slapped her chest and said, "You... you rebellious girl... you are really an outsider. I have really blinded your eyes by raising you for 18 years!"

Lin Ge hurriedly stepped forward and patted Yu Shulan on the back, gritting his teeth and saying, "Li Luo, you really don't know what's good for you. If you make my mother sick with anger, I wonder what you can do to repay her!"

"You're forcing me to get married, are you doing this for my own good? If that's the case, I'm being generous if I'm not pissed off to death. This is a hospital, you need to see a doctor, I can't cure all diseases."

Having said that, Li Luo was about to go out and call a doctor.

"Enough!" Yu Shulan breathed a sigh of relief, her hands shaking with anger, but she was also afraid that Li Luo would make this matter known to everyone and bring shame to the Li family.

"Now that you're well, let's go home and talk about what you want later."

After saying that, Yu Shulan took Lin Ge's hand and walked out.

"Mom..." Lin Ge was not very happy, but seeing Yu Shulan's gloomy face, she felt that it would seem immature to continue talking, so she could only follow Yu Shulan obediently.

Halfway through the walk, she turned around and stared at Li Luo with resentment: Li Luo, you'd better marry for me, otherwise...

Li family.

"Tell me, what conditions do you want to marry?" Yu Shulan sat on the sofa with her legs crossed and placed at an angle.

Li Luo leaned back in his chair, playing with his fingers, and said nonchalantly, "After all, the Li family is a wealthy family, and they should give a dowry when marrying off their daughter."

Lin Ge couldn't help but screamed, "It's your Lin family who's marrying off their daughter! Not our Li family!"

"Oh? It seems that the daughter of the Li family in the current household registration is still me, Li Luo, not Miss Lin Ge. If I am not mistaken, you are asking me for something now, right?"

Li Luo stretched out her hands, which were white and slender, and suitable for manicure.

It’s a pity that there is no manicure in this era. I’ll go buy a manicure and try it later.

Lin Ge was choked and couldn't utter a word. She bit her lip and looked at Yu Shulan with an aggrieved expression.

After all, no matter who it is, the one who forces someone to marry is in the wrong.

Even if they were not biological children, what Li Luo said was right and they had no way to refute it.

"Take these two hundred yuan. Consider it your dowry from us." Yu Shulan reluctantly took out her purse from her pocket, took out two hundred yuan and handed it to Li Luo.

Lin Ge's eyes widened, his heart was bleeding: That's two hundred yuan! Not two dimes, not even two cents! How could Li Luo be worth two hundred yuan!

How could her mother bear to do that!

Li Luo waved his hand and made the number eight. "Eight is a very auspicious number. If you guys send me one, I'll send you one too. What do you think, Ms. Yu?"

"Mom, why don't I get married? I don't want to make things difficult for you and Dad." Lin Ge's tears came again.

Eight hundred!

Why not grab it!
Before, their family earned less than 800 yuan a year!

Yu Shulan was about to lose her temper, but when she saw Lin Ge's tears, she immediately walked into the house, took out six hundred yuan and stuffed it into Li Luo's hand, "Why don't you take your things and get out? The dowry has been given to you, and you should also clean up your room for Xiao Ge!"

Then he turned around to comfort Lin Ge, "What nonsense are you talking about? You are the daughter of the Li family, so of course you want to marry a rich man. How could you marry a country boy? You are still young, and he is so old..."

Li Luo couldn't help but roll his eyes, turned around and went into the room to start packing.

When I entered the room, I saw many bottles and jars on the dressing table, all of which were skin care products.

Beauty is a compulsory course for women, take it away.

The jewelry box was filled with necklaces and earrings, some of them gold.

It looks good and is valuable, take it away.

I opened the drawer beside the bed and found an aluminum lunch box inside. When I opened it, I found a few cents in coins and dozens of Mao Zedong's banknotes scattered around.

If you have money but don’t take it, you bastard, take it away.

Opening the wardrobe, you will see colorful skirts and shirts, silk scarves of the same colors, and even Hong Kong-style jeans.

Nice aesthetic, take it away.

Li Luo looked in the mirror and curled her lips in disgust.

She is going to meet her "fiancé" today, so how can she not dress up?

She carefully selected a pure white shirt, a denim skirt, lace stockings and suede shoes, put on the original owner's most treasured quartz watch, casually tied her hair into a bun, tied it up with a hairpin, and continued to rob.

After a while, the originally empty box was stuffed bulging. Except for the items that could not be taken away, everything else in the room was taken away by her, even the sheets and quilt covers were not spared.

Looking at the sewing machine, she sighed with regret. She really couldn't take it with her, otherwise she wouldn't want to leave the sewing machine behind!
After all, she started out as an embroidery worker in her previous life, and having a sewing machine would definitely be helpful to her in the future.

Just as he was thinking about it, Lin Ge pushed the door open and walked in. "Does it take so long to pack up?"

Li Luo was startled. "Why are you in such a hurry? Even if you are in a hurry, you have to wait until I finish cleaning up."

As she spoke, she slowly pulled up the suitcase, dragged it and walked out.

Lin Ge looked at the empty room and stretched out his hand to stop the man who was about to snatch the suitcase. "Are you a robber? You took away so many things."

Li Luo dodged and pushed Lin Ge closer to the corner step by step. "You are the precious daughter of the Li family. Don't you dislike the things I have used? Aren't you worried that there are viruses on them? Your dear mother will buy you new ones. I help you deal with the garbage. Why don't you thank me but get angry instead?"
