But what Shen Zhiqing said seems to make sense.

"Then...then I’ll go back and ask Mr. Guo what he thinks." Aunt Ma stood up to say goodbye.

Half an hour later, Aunt Ma returned.

Aunt Ma smiled and said, "Shen Zhiqing, I told Mr. Guo your requirements, and Mr. Guo agreed to 300 bucks for the dowry, but for the three utensils and one sound, he will only buy you a watch. The other two utensils and one sound, his family already has, and he will give you those from his house to use."

"What’s his is his, the dowry is mine. Even if I take it to the Guo Family in the future, it’s my bride price, not something from the Guo Family. If any of the three utensils and one sound is missing, I won’t agree." Yuan Chun was very determined.

Guo Jingling’s sister postponed her marriage until she was twenty-six to take care of her nephew. In the past, Guo Jingling was far away in the department and pretended not to see his sister’s sacrifices for his son.

But now, he’s retired and back, right in front of her. If he keeps dragging his sister along without letting her marry, it’s not acceptable.

So, Guo Jingling urgently needs a wife to come home to take care of his son.

But Guo Xiaotao is known in the county as a violent child; when he gets angry, he even hits his grandparents and aunt, let alone a stepmother.

Who would dare marry him?

Mrs. Guo wants the matchmaker to find a daughter-in-law for her without a job, but matchmakers who know her grandson’s temperament are scared to take on this task.

The child, at the drop of a hat, throws chairs at people, leaving his aunt with a broken face, nearly causing three fatalities. Who wouldn’t care for their life enough to become his stepmother? 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

If he beats anyone badly in the future, wouldn’t she be harming that girl?

Therefore, no matchmaker dares to mediate for Guo Jingling.

The original owner also suffered beatings and scoldings from her stepson daily after entering the Guo Family, gaining sympathy from the neighbors, learning only then that she had been manipulated by Guo Jingling.

However, Guo Jingling did save her life. Her physical relationship with Guo Jingling is real, so initially, the original owner didn’t resent Guo Jingling’s manipulation.

After Yuan Chun received the original owner’s memories, she realized Guo Jingling’s urgent needs and hence, made significant demands.

Sure enough, after Aunt Ma went out once more and came back, she said Guo Jingling agreed to all her conditions.

Yuan Chun, unlike the original owner, wouldn’t let Guo Jingling buy cheap second-handed goods to fool her; she directly asked Guo Jingling to hand over the money notes so she could buy them herself.

Guo Jingling didn’t carry that much money. He went home to fetch money, opened a marriage certificate at his unit, and then went to the black market to exchange for the tickets for the three utensils and one sound. Together with the dowry, he gave Yuan Chun 888 in total.

The dowry was 300, the bicycle 210, the sewing machine 220, the radio 30, the watch 120...

After Yuan Chun received the money, she went with him to get the marriage certificate.

When they returned, they went to the department store to buy Yuan Chun two new outfits, two pairs of shoes, and two pounds of fruit candy, distributing them to the educated youth and villagers.

Just like that, Yuan Chun and Guo Jingling got married.

In the afternoon, Yuan Chun stepped into the Guo Family’s door.

She finally saw the "over-aggressive gene, antisocial human" stepson. Of course, at this time, "over-aggressive" hadn’t been diagnosed yet.

Everyone just thought Guo Xiaotao was spoiled by his grandparents, being a bit temperamental, but Yuan Chun, who came from the modern era, knew this kid was an antisocial human child.

He has over-aggressive genes as a violent maniac.

"Are you the stepmother my dad brought home?" Guo Xiaotao glared at her fiercely, "You came to steal my dad from me, you damn..."
