Chapter 12: Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road (2 / 2)

Xi Mu Nian thought about how Meng Ning didn't even ask for a dowry when she married him, and thought, why not just buy her a pair!

So I asked about the price of the shoes.

You don’t know until you ask. You’ll be shocked when you ask.

A pair of shoes like this costs thirty yuan, which is equivalent to one and a half months' salary for an ordinary worker.

The salesperson at the supply and marketing cooperative saw that they all liked the pair of shoes.

“Comrade, these leather boots are only available in the big shopping malls in the province.

Our supply and marketing cooperative got a few pairs through connections.

There are only two pairs left now, one size 36 and one size 38.

If you can wear them, you might as well buy a pair!

If they are sold out, they will be gone if you want to buy them again..."

When Meng Ning heard this, he said to Xi Mu Nian coquettishly, "Brother Mu Nian..."

When Xi Mu Nian went out, he only took about thirty yuan with him.

They bought so many things at the market that they were already short of money.

Just when he was in a dilemma, he heard Xi Jingchen say, "We want this size 36 pair!"

After he said that, he looked at Meng Xue, waiting for her to pay.

After all, he gave all his money to her.

Meng Xue felt her heart bleeding, after all, it was thirty yuan, not three yuan.

In this age when eggs cost only a few cents each, what does thirty yuan mean?

Meng Xue wanted to refuse.

But Meng Ning's eyes seemed to be glued to his shoes.

Seems like he really wants it.

Meng Xue didn't want her to do as she wished.

The more she wanted it, the less she was allowed to have it.

So I took out the money and bought the shoes.

Meng Xue took the shoes and put them on her feet in front of Meng Ning.

As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. These shoes are both comfortable and good looking.

She squinted her eyes and looked at Xi Jingchen and asked, "Brother Jingchen, does it look good?"

Xi Jingchen clearly felt that something was wrong between the Meng Xue and her sister.

Just now Meng Xue said she didn't want the leather boots no matter what.

I didn’t expect Meng Ning and his friends to buy it as soon as they arrived.

He didn't know who her behavior was directed at, but he nodded in cooperation.

“Yeah, it looks good!”

Meng Ning's feet are the same size as Meng Xue's, and she looked at the shoes she liked being worn on her feet.

Deep in my heart, my resentment towards Meng Xue deepened.

She thought of the stack of money Meng Xue had just taken out...

"Cousin? Where did you get so much money? It can't be..."

Meng Xue smiled slightly when she heard Meng Ning's words.

"Cousin, you don't think I stole this money, do you?"

Meng Ning thought so in his heart, but he couldn't say it in front of Xi Mu Nian and the others!

"Cousin, I didn't say that!"

Xi Jingchen frowned slightly when he heard Meng Ning's words.

"Xue'er, I won't do anything sneaky. This money is my betrothal gift to her!"

Meng Xue nodded in agreement.

"Yes, this money was indeed given to me by Brother Jingchen. Brother Jingchen said that he would give me money every month from now on!"

Meng Xue was so happy to see Meng Ning being humiliated.

She deliberately glanced at Xi Mu Nian.

"I wonder how much dowry your old brother gave you?"

Meng Ning was speechless after hearing what she said.

Because she was the one who gave herself to the Xi family, she didn't get a penny of betrothal gift.

“We are in a hurry to get married and haven’t had time to give the betrothal gifts yet.

My brother Mu Nian said he would give it to me when we register!

Isn't that right, my old brother?"

Xi Mu Nian heard both of them mention him.

To be honest, it's quite embarrassing.

After all, he had no intention of paying the bride price.

But for the sake of face, he nodded and said "hmm".
