In the dim room, there was an old and damp smell. The wall paint had begun to peel off, revealing the mottled bricks inside. Zhang Wei slowly opened her eyes again. Her head was still aching. She felt that her body was bound by a force and could not move.

In a trance, she realized that her hands and feet were tightly tied with rough hemp ropes, and at this moment she was half-dragged and half-pulled by Zhang Qiang and was in an unfamiliar environment - Li's house.

Zhang Wei tried to turn her head, and the surrounding scene gradually became clear. She could hear the calculated and greedy conversation between them. Zhang Qiang's voice was like a sneaky mouse, quietly ringing in her ears: "Brother-in-law, my sister has sent it to you, is it time to give me the betrothal gift?"

His voice was full of anxiety, as if he was afraid that the money he had obtained would suddenly fly away. His eyes were fixed on Li Si opposite him, with a greedy light flashing in his eyes, and his hands were rubbing unconsciously, as if he couldn't wait to hold the betrothal money in his hands.

Zhao Ping beside him also chimed in. His shrill voice carried an unquestionable tone: "Yes, we have handed the person over to you. You can decide what to do. It would be best if we get it done today so that Zhang Wei can't get away."

As he spoke, he nudged Zhang Qiang gently with his elbow, his eyes revealing a hint of cunning, as if hinting at some ulterior motive.

"I know. Do I need you to tell me that?" Li Si replied. He was tall and strong, with his arms folded across his chest, his eyes revealing a kind of arrogance. He glanced at the tied Zhang Wei, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a malicious smile.

Then he continued, "This person hasn't married yet. We will give the bride price after the matter is settled." He had his own calculations in mind, thinking that he would make the matter a fait accompli first, so that Zhang Wei would have no choice but to submit, and they wouldn't have to hand over the bride price so quickly.

Zhao Ping got anxious when he heard this. He took a step forward, put his hands on his hips, and said loudly, "That won't do. We've already sent the person over. Who knows if you will still admit it if the matter is settled?" His face flushed red, and the veins on his forehead bulged. It was obvious that he was really worried about not getting the betrothal money. He stared at Li Si closely, his eyes full of suspicion and vigilance.

"Give us the money now and we will leave, otherwise we will take the person away." Zhao Ping said, reaching out to pull Zhang Wei. His knuckles turned white from the force, as if he would really take Zhang Wei away as long as Li Si didn't agree.

Li Sizhan thought to himself: the person has been sent here, and she can't run away even if she is unconscious. Anyway, she is his now. Thinking of this, a trace of greed and eagerness flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly said to Zhang Qiang and Zhao Ping in front of him: "Here, here, here."

In fact, the 20 yuan gift had been arranged long before. Li's mother tightly grasped the bank card, and her knuckles turned white from the force. Her eyes were full of reluctance. That was the money the family had worked hard to save for a long time, and she felt very distressed to give it away so easily.

When she slowly handed over the bank card, her hands were still trembling slightly, and she held it tightly, as if the money would disappear if she let go. Zhang Qiang looked at Li's mother's reluctant expression, and felt annoyed. He suddenly exerted force and snatched the bank card from Li's mother's hand. The action was a bit rough, and the bank card even made a slight "hissing" sound during the snatching process.

Zhang Qiang tightly grasped the bank card in his hand, feeling the texture of the thin card. The little bit of guilt he had felt for selling his sister was now completely wiped out by his desire for money. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, his eyes flashing with excitement, thinking: Now that I have this money, I can marry Zhao Ping!

Mother Li was furious when she saw Zhang Qiang snatching the bank card, but the money had already been given and there was no way to get it back. She turned her head and glared at Li Si fiercely. Her eyes were like two sharp knives, as if she could see through Li Si. She lowered her voice and said viciously, "This is the daughter-in-law we bought at a high price. You must educate her to be obedient and don't let her cause trouble for our family." Her tone was full of unquestionable majesty.

After hearing what his mother said, Li Si nodded and said, "I know, Mom. Don't worry, I will definitely discipline her." His face was filled with a flattering smile, but in his mind he had already started thinking about how to make his new wife obedient after she woke up.

With a new wife, Li Si felt like a little rabbit jumping in his heart, and he couldn't wait. From time to time, he glanced at the unconscious woman on the bed, his eyes full of expectation and desire. He imagined the woman's gentle and obedient look after waking up, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

At this time, the money was already securely in hand, so Zhang Qiang and Zhao Ping naturally would not stay here any longer. Zhang Qiang walked to Li Si, patted him on the shoulder, and said hypocritically: "Brother-in-law, my sister is now in your hands, you must treat her well."
