Refusing to marry into a wealthy family, the richest man's uncle coaxed me into marriage

Because every class watched the live broadcast of the award ceremony, even those who had never seen Si Tong recognized her.

Wherever Si Tong goes, she is always greeted with a wave of stares. She is always calm and doesn't feel anything special about these changes.

However, as her fame grew, the incident in which Zhou Guocai made a scene in the director's office and kicked Si Tong out was mentioned again, and it spread so widely that even the teachers and students in the first and second year of high school knew about it.

Zhou Guocai was extremely angry, especially when he heard that Song Xiaoxiao was nominated as an outstanding national teacher because Si Tong won the first place in the competition. Zhou Guocai regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.

If he didn't look down on Si Tong, all the honors and applause would be his now, and Song Xiaoxiao would have nothing to do with it.

The more Zhou Guocai thought about it, the angrier he got. In the end, he was so angry that he was hospitalized and had to take several days of sick leave.

When Zhou Yaya went to see him, she heard him talking on the phone with someone else: "That girl Yaya is totally unreliable. I trained her for so long, but she didn't even make it to the qualifying round. She's bringing shame to me!"

Zhou Yaya stood outside the ward with her eyes lowered for a long time, then turned and left.

……

Si Tong didn’t know about this. A few days later, the competition prize money arrived.

She looked at the bank text message on her phone.

The two hundred thousand yuan bonus, plus the more than ten thousand yuan that Mrs. Lu gave her when she humiliated her before, and the little bit she saved from working and studying during this period, she had a total of two hundred and sixty-six thousand six hundred yuan in her card.

I had intended to transfer the money to my grandmother when I went to work at Huangting on Friday, but I didn't expect that after evening self-study the next day, when I returned to the dormitory, I found several missed calls from my grandmother on my phone.

Si Tong's heart tightened. If it wasn't something important, grandma wouldn't have called so many times.

There were other people in the dormitory, so she took her cell phone, went downstairs, and found a deserted place outside the dormitory to call her grandmother back.

As soon as the call was connected, she quickly asked, "Grandma, is there something wrong?"

"Tongtong..." Grandma's voice was tearful, not obvious, but Si Tong could still hear it.

"A creditor came to our house these days, saying that something happened at home and he needed money urgently. He forced your aunt to take out 500,000 yuan..."

"Where does your aunt get so much money? They come to our house every day to make trouble. They also go to the clothing store where your aunt works to make trouble. Your aunt can't even go to work."

"I called your mother to borrow money, but she refused to lend it to me. Now she won't even answer my calls..."

When my uncle got into trouble and his partner ran away, the creditors came to their door. So my aunt sold all the real estate under the couple's name to pay off the debts, including the house they bought in their hometown county.

In the past few years, she has been living a very tight life, earning only 3,000 yuan as a clothing shopping guide, while having to rent a house and support her mother-in-law and little daughter.

This was also the reason why Si Tong came to Haicheng penniless. Before she left, she secretly left behind the one thousand yuan that her aunt gave her.

She knew what the thousand dollars meant to this poor family.

My grandmother's helpless voice came again in my ears: "Can you go to the Qin family to find your mother and ask her to help your aunt? Apart from her, no one else in the world can help us."

"And your cousin was so scared that she woke up crying every night..." When she said this, grandma almost burst into tears.

"It's my Li family that's sorry to your aunt. Jianjun passed away early, leaving such a big mess for your aunt to handle alone, and I, an old man, am a burden to her..."

Si Tong's uncle is Li Jianjun.

"I'm really useless. I can't help at all. My daughter is disobedient. I... I'm worse than..."

"Grandma, don't say that." Si Tong interrupted his grandmother's discouraging words, his eyes reddening uncontrollably.

She took a deep breath and tried to speak to her grandmother in a brisk tone: "Don't worry, I will go to Qin's house tomorrow."

"Talk to your mother nicely and don't quarrel." Grandma warned in a hoarse voice.

"Yeah." Si Tong responded obediently.

Grandma knew that this was making things difficult for her granddaughter.

When Han Lingli married Qin Anxu, she didn't even inform her mother and brother because she didn't want to be laughed at by others.

At that time, Li Jianjun was carrying cement on the construction site, covered in dust all day long, and Han Lingli always looked down on him.

Li Jianjun also looked down on his sister's behavior of despising the poor and loving the rich. The relationship between the brother and sister was not good to begin with, and after this incident, the two of them completely broke up.

Li Jianjun's wife Chen Juan sided with her husband and argued with Han Lingli for a few words. Han Lingli held a grudge and still refuses to call her sister-in-law when they meet.

Therefore, it is really difficult to ask Si Tong to persuade Han Lingli to lend money to Chen Juan.

But the situation is urgent and there is no other way to go except this one.

"Tongtong, it's hard for you." Grandma felt distressed and blamed herself.

After hanging up the phone, Si Tong slowly leaned against the wall behind him, lost in thought.

My chest felt like it was blocked by something, and it was bloated and uncomfortable. The joy of winning the $200,000 bonus was gone.

If my uncle were still alive, my aunt wouldn't have had such a hard life, my grandmother's medical expenses would have been sufficient, and she wouldn't have to run around for money.

My uncle would protect them like a big tree, but this big tree fell down four years ago.

"Tongtong, are you okay?" Zhang Mengling's voice suddenly rang out.

Si Tong turned his head to look.

Zhang Mengling's face showed a trace of guilt and embarrassment. "I didn't mean to listen to your phone call. I just saw you coming here alone, and I thought..."

She didn't dare to say the rest of the words. She thought Si Tong had secretly come out to date some handsome guy, so she followed him to peek...

"Let's go back." Si Tong was in no mood to argue with her. He spoke lightly and took the lead to walk back.

Zhang Mengling was relieved to see that she was not angry, and hurried to catch up, "Are you really going to find your mother? Your mother is so fierce, I don't think she will help you so easily."

There was some worry in her tone, "What if she makes excessive demands? What if she wants to marry you to an old man in exchange for a high betrothal gift?"

"..." Si Tong was speechless, "You've watched too many TV dramas."

"But there are really parents like this in real life." Zhang Mengling muttered.

The two returned to the dormitory, washed up, and went back to bed. The lights were turned off. Si Tong was lying on the bed, thinking about something, and Zhang Mengling crawled over and got into her bed.

"How about you borrow from my brother?" Zhang Mengling thought about it and decided that this was the only way to help Si Tong. "My brother runs a company and has a little money. You're my best friend, so he'll definitely be willing to help you."

Si Tong was silent for a while, "I'll think of a solution myself first. If it doesn't work, you can help me."

Zhang Mengling wanted to say something else but Si Tong interrupted her.

"That's it. If I need your help, I won't hesitate."

My aunt needs 500,000 yuan, but Si Tong only has 200,000 yuan. The shortfall of 300,000 yuan may not be a big deal for Zhang Juncheng, but she and Zhang Juncheng are not related or even familiar with each other, so it is not a good idea to suddenly borrow such a large sum of money.

The next day, Friday, after finishing her last class in the afternoon, she went directly to Qin's house.

Han Lingli was not at home. The servant said she went to Huashuo Middle School to pick up Qin Siyuan.

Si Tong had no choice but to wait at Qin's house, and he waited until after ten o'clock.

After picking up Qin Siyuan, Han Lingli took Qin Siyuan out to eat, drink, play and shop. She didn't go home until her little daughter had a great time, carrying a lot of bags.

When she saw Si Tong, the smile on Han Lingli's face immediately disappeared.
