Xu Wan met a man from her industry at a matchmaking party. Two days later, they got their marriage certificate.
She thought she had married an unremarkable corporate legal counsel.
Afte...
"Jiashan, what nonsense are you talking about?" Liu Yingjun stood up from the sofa. "It's my fault for not letting Wanwan bring her. She's been very nice to Wanwan. Aren't you embarrassed by making such a fuss and bringing her here?"
"Mom, why are you taking that swindler's side too? These days, is it possible to get married without giving a bride price?"
Xu Jiashan spoke with absolute certainty, but in reality, he was simply obsessed with money.
He had previously received a deposit of 30,000 yuan from Liu Xingjia, but Xu Wan and Jiang Tingzhou ended up getting married in a flash.
Xu Jiashan confidently told Liu Xing that if Jiang Tingzhou knew about Xu Wan's mother's situation, he would definitely file for divorce.
In the end, the original dowry of 100,000 yuan was reduced to 80,000 yuan.
Liu Xing went to expose Xu Wan's mother's affair, thinking that Jiang Tingzhou would leave in anger, but to his surprise, the man didn't care at all!
That's why he got so angry that he wanted the 30,000 yuan back.
"Bride price?" Xu Wan sat on the sofa, looking coldly at Xu Jiashan. "If others give bride price, we should give dowry too. My previous salary was basically used to pay off student loans, and my savings are pitifully small. You want to take my bride price? Are you going to help me with my dowry?"
"Who told you not to let that person continue to sponsor your college education, and instead insisted on applying for a loan yourself?"
"Is that the reason?" Xu Wan's eyes were red. "Uncle, do you have any conscience! A few years ago, when you didn't have a job, I was the one who bought everything for the family, from food to supplies to even your cigarettes!"
"Jiashan!" Liu Yingjun couldn't stand it anymore. "Back then, the kind people sponsored Wanwan because she was young. Later, when we could get a loan, we couldn't always rely on others. My grandson-in-law is good to Wanwan. If there's no bride price, there's no bride price. With our family's conditions, we can't give her much dowry."
Xu Jiashan knew that Liu Yingjun and Xu Wan were both right.
But he needs to get the money today.
Liu Xing had already gambled away his 30,000 yuan. He made some money on this trip, but lost it all again after playing a few rounds of gambling.
"I don't make money? Who's to blame for my family's current state? Isn't it all because of that jinx, Xu Wan?!" Xu Jiashan pointed at Xu Wan and cursed, "If you hadn't insisted on going on that spring outing back then, would my sister and brother-in-law have gotten into that mess?"
They were talking about marriage.
Xu Jiashan suddenly brought up old stories.
Memories from ten years ago gradually surfaced, overwhelming her thoughts.
Xu Wan refused to back down, "It's not my fault at all! You got divorced because of your gambling! You..."
"Alright, stop arguing."
Liu Yingjun stood there, frowning and rubbing her temples, trying to persuade the two of them.
Xu Wan was afraid of upsetting her grandmother, so she quickly shut up.
Xu Jiashan completely ignored Liu Yingjun, picked up a cup from the table and threw it at Xu Wan, "Pah! I used to have great luck when I gambled, it's only because of you, you unlucky thing, that I started to have bad luck when I gambled."
"you……"
"Ouch, ouch..."
Just as Xu Wan was about to speak, Liu Yingjun suddenly collapsed to the ground.
"grandmother!"
Xu Wan quickly helped Liu Yingjun to sit down on the sofa.
Liu Yingjun's face turned pale, but she still waved her hand and said, "You two, stop arguing."
"Don't make a sound, don't make a sound." Xu Wan hurriedly pulled out her phone. "Grandma, don't worry, I'll call an ambulance to take you to the hospital for a checkup."
"No, no, it's nothing, I'll be fine after lying down for a while."
Liu Yingjun refused.
"Call 120? Call your cheap husband then? Didn't Mom say he's good to you? Let me see how good he is to you!" Xu Jiashan blocked the doorway. "No one is leaving this room today unless he comes."
"Will you take responsibility if something happens to your grandmother?"
"If you don't want anything to happen to Mom, then call your cheap husband over here?"
Xu Jiashan shouted.
Liu Yingjun tugged at Xu Wan's wrist, "Grandma is fine, she'll be alright after a rest."
Xu Wan didn't want to clash with Xu Jiashan in front of Liu Yingjun, so she tried to control her emotions and took out her phone to call Jiang Tingzhou.
