Chapter 5

The four people in the big house looked at each other in disbelief. They only knew that Song Zhen paid money home on time every month, but Old Mrs. Song never revealed how much she had paid.

At the beginning, Xu Xiulian asked several times in an indirect way, but was severely warned by her mother-in-law every time, so the matter was left unresolved.

“Oh my god, big brother actually earns so much!” Song Bin’s eyes lit up and his saliva was almost flowing out.

When Old Lady Song saw her family’s reactions, she immediately panicked, “Why are you all looking at me?”

“Which of the household items, firewood, rice, oil, and salt, doesn’t cost money? Who doesn’t eat?”

“Your parents are still alive, and the family hasn’t been divided yet, and you’re thinking of deducting money from us? Dream on!”

This time, the eldest wife was completely silent.

Two hundred yuan is an astronomical figure for a farmer who digs for food in the soil every day and can barely feed his family!

Since the money was earned by Song Zhen from the second wife, and they said they would give half of it as a dowry for their daughter, the first wife couldn’t say anything.

Next, it depends on who is more willing to go out between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law.

Jiang Chunlan was shaking with anger, her eyes red as she said stubbornly, “Mom, Qingwan’s dowry must be given. Two hundred yuan, not a cent less!”

When Old Lady Song saw that the situation was not right, her eyes rolled and she collapsed to the ground, crying and shouting:

“Oh my God! My son and daughter-in-law are so unfilial! You are trying to kill me. Where can I borrow these two hundred yuan…”

The situation changed so quickly that Song Qingwan was startled. However, looking at the “performance” of Old Lady Song, who sang and acted very well, she still admired her. She was so professional!

Seeing Old Lady Song acting like this, the men frowned, the women pouted, and the younger generations looked annoyed.

Song Zhaodi, who had been keeping her head down and silent, had a faint smile of success on her lips. It seemed that this negotiation was about to end.

This result was basically the same as in her previous life. She got married but didn’t even have a new piece of clothing to wear, let alone a dowry.

Song Tieniu glanced at his old wife who was slumped on the ground and said disdainfully: “Alright! Let’s leave it at that…”

Before he could finish his words, his second son, Song Yinsheng, suddenly stood up and interrupted him, “Dad!”

“Qingwan’s dowry is two hundred yuan, not a cent less!”

“We all know the situation of Lu Zheng’s residence. In this case, our family will prepare the nine pieces and thirty-six legs. Not a single leg can be missing.”

When Song Yinsheng said these words, his expression was serious and his tone was calm, so much so that the other people in the Song family thought he was crazy.

Song Tieniu stared at his second son, his mouth slightly open, “Second son, what are you talking about in your sleep?”

“If this gets out, the Song family will spend their dowry and even climb into someone’s bed to marry into a poor family, and they won’t be afraid of being laughed at!”

“Alright, alright, I’m too lazy to argue with you. I think you’ve been fooled by pillow talk!”

After saying that, Song Tieniu glared at Jiang Chunlan and Song Qingwan, mother and daughter, and said, “Hmph!” Then he put his hands behind his back and was about to go back to his room.

“Dad!” Song Yinsheng called his father again. Song Tieniu seemed to have sensed something, his back shook and he stopped where he was.

Song Yinsheng was trembling all over as he spoke word by word: “Either, give Qingwan a dowry, or…separate the family!”

As soon as the word “separation” came out of his mouth, Song Tieniu, without saying a word, directly picked up the chair next to him and rushed towards Song Yinsheng, “I will beat you to death, you rebellious son!”

Everyone else was startled and rushed over to stop them. The main room was in chaos and everyone ended up leaving on bad terms.

Song Yinsheng was hit on the forehead and blood was flowing; Jiang Chunlan used her back to block it, leaving a few bruises, which showed that Song Tieniu was very ruthless.

After returning to the room, Song Qingwan applied medicine and bandaged her parents’ wounds with red eyes, feeling extremely distressed.

“Dad, Mom, I don’t want this dowry.” Song Qingwan said in a crying voice.

She didn’t expect that just because she wanted to save Lu Zheng and get a marriage certificate, it would cause such a big trouble for her family.

Upon hearing this, Song Yinsheng, who had just bandaged his wound, immediately frowned, propped up his knees with his hands and said exaggeratedly:

“What did you say?”

“Now that things have come to this, if you don’t want your dowry, then all the beatings your father received were in vain.”

Song Qingwan was stunned for a moment, and couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Jiang Chunlan, who had just finished applying the bruise oil, smiled and said, “Little fool, remember this, what belongs to us must not be lost.”

“It’s not ours, so we don’t want a cent more.”

“Don’t worry about the rest. Mom and Dad will take care of it for you!”

Song Qingwan felt sweet in her heart and nodded gently, “Yeah.”

As she spoke, Jiang Chunlan suddenly remembered the details of the evening.

She raised her eyebrows and glanced at Song Yinsheng, then took her daughter’s hand and walked to the side silently, whispering, “In my opinion, Lu Zheng is a thoughtful and considerate person. Since you are willing to marry him, Mom can’t say anything more.”

“Just remember, life is long. As long as a couple works together, their lives will get better and better.”

“You may suffer for a while, but you won’t suffer forever, understand?”

Song Qingwan’s face flushed, and she nodded guiltily, “Yeah.”

However, she had never thought about spending her whole life with Lu Zheng! She could only walk and watch.

Song Yinsheng, who was standing next to him, was so angry that he was puffing his beard and glaring, if he really had a beard.

The good cabbages that I have carefully grown for twenty years were eaten by pigs. Who wouldn’t be angry?

Jiang Chunlan smiled and glared at her man, then gently helped Song Qingwan put the two big black braids behind her back, and said lovingly:

“Okay, my Qingwan is also tired after a day, go back to your room and rest!”

Song Qingwan left her parents’ room reluctantly and returned to her own bedroom.

The small room is decorated exquisitely, elegantly, cleanly and tidyly.

Opposite the window is a solid wooden single bed, and next to the bed is a solid wooden wardrobe and a simple dressing table.

Song Qingwan walked to the mirror nervously and looked at her face for the first time. She found that it was 90% similar to her previous self.

She used to have a typical oval face, but was thin.

But now I see myself in the mirror, with a round oval face., the corners of her mouth twitched into a slight smile, her eyes seemed to be shining, so beautiful!

Boom, boom!

Suddenly, there was a knock on her door, and the knocker was very gentle, as if not wanting to disturb her parents across the street.

Song Qingwan immediately became alert. Who would come to see her so late at night?
