Reborn as a Superpower Girl in the 80s

Chapter 499: Chapter 499 onwards, we have no more entanglements. Chapter 499: Chapter 499 onwards, we have no more entanglements. Xiao Jingyu and Han Yuchen’s family members, seeing their achievements, no longer nagged them about not holding down proper jobs.

Xiao Jingyu asked, “When do you plan to leave?”

Luo Qiao replied, “Tomorrow.”

Xiao Jingyu nodded, “We might not be so quick, you go ahead, I’ll follow once everything is arranged.”

Wei Zixiong finally got the result he wanted. After Cui Xizhong and his wife discussed it, they decided to get back to Wei Zixiong. The girl was only sixteen, quite young, and currently couldn’t even obtain a marriage license, but their youngest son was insistent, having taken a fancy to the girl.

After talking it over with Cui Xizhong in private, Wei Zixiong went home and discussed it with Ning Xueling. Ning Xueling already didn’t feel the same about Zhao Jianing, but was still conflicted upon hearing the news: “She’s only sixteen, she can’t even get a marriage certificate, even if she agrees.”

Wei Zixiong said, “We’ll find a way for that later, as long as Jianing is willing, everything else can be discussed.”

After pondering for two days, Zhao Jianing had made up her mind, so when Ning Xueling asked if she wanted to think it over again, she said without hesitation, “No need to think further.”

Wei Zixiong accompanied Ning Xueling and Zhao Jianing back to Qingshan Village. When they arrived in the village, Zhao Pulin’s family was packing things, preparing to move.

Zhao Jianing just learned that the call she received days ago from Zhao Pulin was to invite her back for Zhao Xiaoxing and Zhao Xiaohua’s weddings. Unfortunately, Zhao Jianing never returned the calls.

Zhao Pulin, to make things easier, decided to marry off his two daughters on the same day. To say they were married off is more like saying they were sold; the dowries they asked for were substantial, and hence, the men they married weren’t much better, and they didn’t even have a grand wedding feast.

She also found out that Zhao Xiaocao was betrothed a few days earlier, with plans to fetch her after autumn harvest. Zhao Pulin pocketed the dowries he collected for his three daughters and settled down in Ge Village, twenty miles from Qingshan Village, and today was the day they were moving.

The reasons he left the village: first, he truly had no face to stay, and second, he met a widow in Ge Village while handling affairs in town, and the two hit it off. Thus, he married off his daughters to amass enough money for a house in Ge Village.

Learning that Zhao Jianing came back to transfer her household registration, Zhao Pulin immediately demanded five hundred yuan. Ning Xueling looked at Zhao Pulin with contempt, “You’re selling your daughter.”

Ever since his wife went to prison, Zhao Pulin had changed completely, becoming someone unrecognizable, especially after he met the widow in Ge Village—he’d abandoned all shame.

Zhao Pulin was resolute now; when he married Gao Suhua back then, the village didn’t have the custom of issuing marriage certificates. He had merely obtained a proof from the brigade, visited the jail once, and returned to marry the widow from Ge Village.

However, he didn’t want the people of Ge Village to think he was living off a woman, so apart from the youngest daughter, Zhao Xiaoyun, and the estranged Zhao Jianing, he collected betrothal gifts for the other three daughters. With that money, he bought a ready-made house in Ge Village.

In the end, Wei Zixiong paid three hundred yuan, and only then did he obtain the proof necessary for Zhao Jianing’s household registration transfer. As Zhao Jianing was leaving, she said to Zhao Pulin, “From now on, we have no more ties.”

Zhao Changlin stood in the crowd, watching Zhao Jianing with a cold gaze. Previously, over his son’s affair, he had called Zhao Jianing countless times, but after a few responses initially, she eventually didn’t even pick up the phone.

His son was jobless now, and their family had paid a hefty sum to settle the matter. If it weren’t for him and his wife begging on their knees for the other family to let it go, his son might have ended up in jail too.

Because of this, his relationship with his brother, Zhao Pulin, had also become distant.

Initially, he wanted Zhao Pulin to call Zhao Jianing, but Zhao Pulin flat-out refused, leading to a waste of so many phone calls. Both father and daughter were cold-hearted animals.
