Chapter 565 - 281: The Patriarch Grants a Wish: After Much Thought, How About I Make You a Hannibal?_2
"I don’t know, but looking at this young lady’s expression, it seems like something’s off!"
"It’s more than just off, if there were a way out behind her, she’d probably make a run for it!"
The people below the stage looked at the uneasy expression of the young lady from Country A, and their hearts sank below freezing.
They were already prepared to claim victory, but they didn’t expect a sudden mishap.
Even Granny Wang was looking grave at this moment. Success was right in front of them, but stumbling before dawn is the most painful thing!
Li Xiaoke, feeling triumphant, glanced around and then focused on the young lady from Country A, speaking aggressively:
"Speak up! Will you swear to your country’s deities?"
"I’m telling you, you’d better tell the truth. This is a global broadcast, and if you lie, you’ll disgrace your entire country!"
Under the relentless psychological pressure from Sister Awakening, the young lady from Country A finally couldn’t bear it anymore, her voice tinged with tears:
"I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I lied, I was wrong, I shouldn’t have lied."
Hearing this answer, Li Xiaoke was very satisfied; this was the answer she wanted!
Once again casting a domineering glance around, Li Xiaoke carelessly looked up at the sky with her nose in the air, and said:
"No problem, knowing your mistakes and correcting them is great. So can you now tell the truth?"
"Does your country require a bride price or not?"
"How much is the bride price?"
Another three consecutive questions directly shattered the young lady from Country A’s last mental defenses.
"Yes, our country requires a bride price."
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere at the scene instantly became awkward, and the heat vanished.
"Listen, listen, you people, don’t be so self-righteous. Do you really think reading a couple of books makes you Zhuge Liang?"
Li Xiaoke was so arrogant that onlookers couldn’t help but feel anger rising, wishing they could thrash her.
"So, how much is the bride price in your country?"
Upon hearing this, the young lady from Country A cautiously glanced up, then quickly lowered her head before whispering:
"Not, not much, converted to Dragon Coin, just around a few thousand."
"Tens of thousands, not much... hmm?"
Hearing this, Li Xiaoke, who had been arrogant, was taken aback and then widened her eyes in disbelief, looking at the young lady from Country A.
Seeing this, the young lady from Country A thought she was not being believed and immediately swore:
"I swear to Shiva, if I told a single lie just now, may I be engulfed in flames after death and fall into endless demons!"
Hearing this, Li Xiaoke’s heart sank slightly, as such an oath could only be true unless she wasn’t from Country A.
But this amount of a few thousand was far from what she expected!
However, Li Xiaoke quickly thought of an explanation.
She sighed hypocritically and then feigned sympathy:
"Everyone knows Country A is not a wealthy nation. It may only be a few thousand when converted, but in their country, this could be equivalent to millions for us!"
"Their lives are so tough, and the groom has to come up with so much bride price. Compare yourselves to them; you are truly blessed yet unaware..."
The young lady from Country A, who had been looking down, panicked upon hearing this, immediately raising her head to quickly interrupt:
"Hello, you might have misunderstood."
"What?"
Li Xiaoke, immersed in her absolute realm, was suddenly interrupted, instantly feeling displeased,
but before she could lose her temper, the young lady from Country A timidly said while looking at her:
"In our country, when a man and woman get married, a bride price is indeed required."
"But the bride price is given by the woman to the man."
Wow!
As soon as the young lady from Country A finished speaking, the scene exploded!
"Oh my goodness! There’s actually a country where the man doesn’t give the bride price!"
"I used to think Country A was a bit silly and dirty, but now, suddenly I find Country A a bit adorable!"
"This is unbelievable! Never thought there’d be a place where women give men the bride price. Truly eye-opening!"
"Damn! Thank you, foster mother, worthy of the ancestral temple! Without foster mother’s wish, how else could we open our eyes to the world!"
"Foster mother, worthy of the ancestral temple! I’m touched, women in Country A giving men bride price, huh? I’m setting off south to Country A right now!"
"Mom, don’t bother making dinner tonight, I’m heading south for a bit, be right back!"
Not only the live audience but also the viewers in the streaming chat were gasping in shock.
"It feels like Great Qing has long gone, but I’m still living in it."
"If it weren’t for these foreign friends, I wouldn’t have known we’ve been clowns all these years, clowns dancing with shackles."
"Honestly, I first have to offer incense to foster mother, if it weren’t for her, we’d truly be shut in!"
"Foster mother above, offering incense!"
"Foster mother above, offering incense!"
"..."
At this moment, Sister Awakening could no longer maintain her composure, her face twisted in rage, breaking down.
"This is impossible! How can this be!"
Her eyes reddened as she glared at the foreign young lady on stage, spewing profanities:
"Damn you, a bunch of xx, we’re all women, yet you’re making things difficult for other women, are your brains made of dog crap! Can’t you see I’m fighting for our interests?"
"You’re all just a bunch of idiots, idiots!"
Watching Sister Awakening break down, the audience below the stage felt instant relief in their hearts.
"Hilarious! I didn’t expect her to break down, thought her face was made of stainless steel, impervious to anything."
"Does she ever look in the mirror? Does she think she’s Liu Yifei? Even if she were, she still can’t be unreasonable!"
"Girls, don’t be afraid, such species are rare in our country, don’t take it to heart."
However, even at the end, Sister Awakening remained stubborn, speaking bitterly:
"Those foreigners have great social welfare in their countries, so they don’t need a bride price!"
"But Dragon Country? Look at yourselves, what kind of people are you, do you deserve to criticize others here?"
"Honestly, if there were a foreigner here proposing to me, I’d go with them immediately, not asking for a penny for a bride price!"
Hearing this, the audience below instantly erupted.
"No, what do you mean by that? Are you even from Dragon Country anymore!"
"Again with the ’foreign air smells sweet’ nonsense, if you really like it abroad, go there, no one’s stopping you!"
"Bet you can’t even get past the passport stage, seeing you, they’d probably think we’re begging for entry!"
"Ridiculous, as a child of Huaxia, looking down on your compatriots and constantly belittling them, what kind of person are you!"
"No, Huaxia children don’t have that kind of person, she’s unworthy, disgusting!"
"..."
Yet, Sister Awakening remained unfazed.
Before anyone else could voice their righteous indignation and start cursing, the phone rang, it was the old woman’s.
Seeing the contact name on the screen, the old woman’s face instantly turned unpleasant, but she still forced a smile and answered the call.
But within five seconds, her face turned stormy, and she screamed hysterically:
"You heartless bastard, are you even human!"
"I’ve endured all kinds of hardships with you, and now you want a divorce!"
"What about all those years, what do they mean, what do they mean!!!"
