Floating Song in Troubled Times: The Reborn Business Girl of the Republic of China

Chapter 138 Returning the Jade Pendant

Speaking of this, none of the three answered their own words, the second and third children pretended not to hear, and his father still sat on the recliner with his eyes closed and did not speak.

Several people were silent, and Cheng Jianhong suddenly felt very angry.

"Dad, where's the Xiao family's bride price list!"

"What list, I don't know. To marry a daughter-in-law, according to the rules in our country, it is all ordered by our husband
What does it have to do with their Xiao family? Why bother others with our own affairs. Father Xiao was yelled at by his son, feeling unhappy in his heart, sat up suddenly, and said loudly.

Cheng Jianhong obviously did not expect that his father would cause trouble for him in this matter.

"This is not the countryside, and the place I want to marry is not a country woman.

Dad, when you sat and ate together, you agreed with each other.Now that the invitations have been sent out, it's a matter of iron and steel.On the issue of the bride price, there are black and white words, and if you don't follow what you did before, won't it make others laugh, and make the Xiao family think we are not sincere. "

Cheng Jianhong clasped his hands tightly and tried his best to suppress his resentment.

Clearly negotiated things, announced at the engagement ceremony when the time comes, so that everyone can see his jokes?Can't even marry a woman.

"I'm afraid that others will make fun of me, Jianhong, if I have money, my father would like to make the wedding look good.

But our family is selling everything now, and we don’t have that much money. "

Cheng's father straightened up slowly, looking at his son helplessly.

At that time, the family hurriedly talked about Shanghai from the countryside, and lived there for three or four years.The land rent in the village could not be collected, and the people in the village walked and died, and no one farmed the land at all.

The whole family is in Shanghai, relying on the little savings from previous years. The two sons fought for money, but they can only meet daily expenses.

In addition, the children go to school, and the neighbors' weddings and weddings on weekdays all need money.The daughter-in-laws don't go to work, so there are only two people to support them.They have more than enough heart, but not enough strength.

"Dad, what about the money that the Xiao family gave before? And the money I gave you!"

Cheng Jianhong looked at his father and younger brothers, each one of them knew how to help him.I have been dragging myself down all day, and now I still want to be perfunctory like this.

When the money was mentioned, all three of them frowned. You looked at me and I looked at you, pretending to be dumb and not speaking.

"Father, tell me, where did the money go? The money is enough to buy these things and hold a banquet." Cheng Jianhong couldn't hold his breath anymore, his expression was serious, and his voice doubled.

The mother and sister-in-law in the room looked outside in different ways.

"Whatever you shout, you're not afraid of embarrassment!" Cheng's father immediately scolded.

Whether in the countryside or in the magic city, at my age, whoever sees me does not say hello to the master.Now, for a sum of money, his son was so disregarding his status that he started yelling at himself.

"Dad, did you give them money to pay off their debts again?"

Cheng Jianhong squinted his eyes, and asked anxiously with a sense of vigor in him.

"Brother, it's not right for you to say this, since you started to go to school. Our whole family has cut down on food and clothing, so that you can study abroad alone.

High school, college, study abroad.Now that I am back in Shanghai, I have been teaching for more than half a year.When did you take a penny from the family? Everyone is the son of their parents.Why do we beg grandpa to sue grandma every day, work for them, and see their faces.I worked so hard to earn such a little money, and all of it was used to supplement the family.

You look at what we are wearing, coarse coat, you are looking at what you are wearing.

It was just a little money, we paid the rent, and bought some new clothes for my mother, father, two daughters-in-law, and several children.Is it not enough, why should we have to suffer! "

The second child stood up suddenly, with equally fierce eyes, not admitting defeat at all.

"That's right, I think, big brother, you still called off this marriage. Go back and find Miss Xia, she will be responsible for everything, as long as you marry Xia Qingqian, you will be a hundred times better than the Xiao family."

The youngest looked at the eldest brother with aggrieved eyes, thinking that the Xia family always sent people to deliver things every now and then.For food, for children to play.

Today's Xiao family is not comparable at all, and they are asked to add money to their own family, how is this possible.

"What are you talking about!" Cheng Jianhong was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while.

It's not that they didn't understand why he broke off the engagement back then, but now it's time to pay for it.Instead, he made sarcastic remarks, which made him feel that Xia's family was responsible everywhere.

"Brother, the two of us are telling the truth. The Xia family is completely rebellious, and the Xiao family is trying to calculate our family's interests.

You are the son of the Xiao family now, so naturally you don't care about our life or death. "

The second child grinned, showing his yellow teeth, and said all the harsh words.

He is not a scholar, he wants to save face and suffer, he is a human being who wants to eat and support his family.There is no money for anything, and the work is real.

"Sister Xiao, why are you standing outside and not going in?" As soon as the second daughter-in-law came out, she saw Xiao Mumu, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, standing outside with a box, her expression a bit ugly.Thinking of the conversation just now, my face turned red, but it didn't matter.

Xiao Mumu was a little embarrassed when he was discovered, coughed twice, and said slowly, "Come here and give Jianhong something."

I'm going to get married soon, especially since the invitations have been sent out, and my belly is getting bigger day by day, so I don't dare to waste time at all.

Cheng Jianhong has been living in the dormitory of the school, shared by two people.

It must be inconvenient after getting married, because he is too young, and the working hours are not long, and it is not yet the time when he can arrange a room alone.

Therefore, after getting married, they can only temporarily live in their home, which is also convenient for their mother to take care of.And she never thought about living outside or here with Cheng Jianhong.

"Mumu, why are you here?" Cheng Jianhong pushed open the door and saw Xiao Mumu standing with his second sibling, and couldn't help frowning.

How long has she been standing here, did she hear what she said just now?The money spent by the two of them for their marriage was spent by their own families, and they felt very shameless and could not hold their heads up.

The father and son inside were also embarrassed and embarrassed.

"I heard you went home, so I'll come over to see what else I need!" Xiao Mumu smiled slightly, and said softly, gentle and pleasant, and didn't mention what happened just now.Completely pretend not to hear.

"You have a body, what are you doing all the way here, hurry up and sit down!" Cheng's mother looked at the few people who were stunned, and immediately stepped forward enthusiastically, and brought Xiao Mumu's into the narrow living room, which was smoky, but Others didn't see anything wrong.

Xiao Mumu suppressed the disgust in his heart, and said softly: "Jianhong, I was afraid that the money from last time was not enough, so I brought some more, after all, your family is also a big family, and there are many people who need to entertain.

Here are some jewelry that I don't usually wear, and I can change a few dollars. "
