Chapter 258 How to Talk About the Dowry

The atmosphere eased only after the food was served.

Everyone in the Jane family had something on their mind, so they felt extremely heavy during the meal.

On the other hand, the Ji family...

Eat when you should eat, drink when you should drink.

Not affected at all.

Especially Huang Yingying, she was enjoying the meal so much.

If Lu Yujing hadn't been standing in this room, she might have sung a song for everyone.

Ji Zhuangzhuang, who was sitting next to her, was also eating with his mouth full of oil.

He had a piece of chicken in his left hand and a piece of pork ribs in his right hand. He started stuffing more food into his mouth before he had even chewed the food in his mouth.

This scene...

Jian Qingyi had only seen it in those brainless short dramas.

She always felt that those third-rate directors were exaggerating.

Unexpectedly...

The director is the first realist.

Jian Qingyi had breakfast late, so she wasn't very hungry at the moment. She drank some soup and ate half a pigeon before putting down her chopsticks.

Lu Yujing had a meeting in the afternoon, so he ate a few bites and left with Jian Yiwei.

Jian Qingyi has the habit of taking a nap, and sleepiness comes at the appointed time.

Not long after she returned to her room and fell asleep, she heard Ji Zhuangzhuang's pig-slaughtering howl from the living room.

She turned over and wanted to continue sleeping.

Ji Zhuangzhuang's cries became louder and louder.

There was even the sound of adults arguing.

The noise gave her a headache.

Jian Qingyi turned over and got out of bed.

As soon as the door opened, Jian Zhonglan's sharp voice came.

"Five hundred? You're sending away beggars?!"

"Nowadays, when getting married, who doesn't give a betrothal gift of two or three thousand? Five hundred? How dare you ask for that?!"

"Two thousand, three thousand? You really are not afraid of your tongue being blown away by the wind. The most in our area is only six hundred and sixty, and that's for a pure and innocent girl." Huang Yingying snorted.

While speaking, he glanced at Jian Liqiu's abdomen.

The mocking tone and contemptuous look made people angry.

"Sister-in-law..." Ji Lei called out in a deep voice.

Obviously dissatisfied with Huang Yingying's attitude and tone.

"Yingying..." Ji Lei's mother looked at Huang Yingying unhappily, with a warning in her tone.

"I still say the same thing. We are both your daughters-in-law. You have to treat us equally. You have to give me the same amount as you give her. Otherwise, we won't be able to live like this anymore." Huang Yingying showed her attitude.

"Huang Yingying, when we got married, the betrothal gift was 300 yuan. It's not unfair to you if our family gives you 300 yuan. Now that my brother is getting married, the betrothal gift has increased. Isn't it natural for us to increase the betrothal gift for Li Qiu? What are you dissatisfied with?!" Ji Ben began to appeal to her emotions and reason with her.

"Besides, most of the money my mother has is my brother's allowance. Now my mother is using it to help my brother get married. What's wrong with that?!"

"Jian Liqiu is your daughter-in-law. Am I, Huang Yingying, not your daughter-in-law? We are both daughters-in-law. Why should she get more than me?" Huang Yingying almost jumped up in anger.

The Ji family only gave her 300, why would they give Jian Liqiu 500?!

And judging from the tone of the Jian family, they don't even look down on a betrothal gift of 500 yuan.

"My dear relatives, mother-in-law, it's not that we are stingy, we just can't give much. I guess you all know what our family situation is like." Ji Lei's mother explained in a gentle voice with a smile on her face.

"My son's father fell seriously ill a few years ago, and we spent all our savings over the years. We also suffered from hunger. We only paid back the hunger we suffered from outside in the past two years. We really can't afford to pay much more..."

"What you're saying is that you don't want to give a betrothal gift, you just want to get a daughter-in-law for free!" Jian Zhonglan crossed her arms.

Huang Yingying scoffed, "So what if I don't give her a betrothal gift? She's already pregnant with my Ji Lei's child. If she doesn't marry my Ji Lei, who else can she marry? Who would want a broken girl like her..."

"Sister-in-law, could you please stop causing trouble here?!" Ji Lei's face turned cold.

Huang Yingying turned her face away and said nothing.

Ji Lei looked at Jian Zhongkang and Wang Xiujuan, "Uncle, aunt, don't worry, I will find a way to pay the betrothal gift. I won't let Li Qiu down..."

"Ji Lei, I'm telling you, I don't agree. You think of a way, but what way do you think of? What else can you do except borrowing? We have just paid off the debt we owed, and you want to go out and get more food. I'm telling you, I don't agree." Huang Yingying exploded.

"Sister-in-law, I borrowed the money myself and I have to pay it back myself. I don't know how to..." Ji Lei said hurriedly.

"I said I don't agree, and I mean I don't agree. If you dare to go out and borrow money, I will die in front of you..." Huang Yingying started to throw a tantrum.

"Hey! Another one who's trying to kill himself? Who are you trying to scare here?" Jian Qingyi closed the door and walked out.

She had seen many people who were desperate to die, but she had never seen anyone actually die.

The people who make the most trouble are actually the ones who fear death the most.

Those who remain silent are the most likely to go to extremes.

Huang Yingying just opened her mouth as if she wanted to curse someone, but when she saw it was Jian Qingyi, she closed her mouth again.

"Don't scare people with death. No one will fall for it. But if you really dare to die, I don't mind hiring two people to bury you." Jian Qingyi glanced at Huang Yingying who was sitting on the single sofa, then turned around and sat down at the dining table.

Mother Li immediately made some chrysanthemum tea and brought it over.

"You..." Huang Yingying almost got her nose crooked with anger.

"I only have this one sister. If you make her unhappy, I have plenty of ways to make you unhappy." Jian Qingyi curled her lips slightly.

"I heard your brother works at a steel mill, and seems to be a team leader..."

"What do you want to do?" A trace of fear appeared on Huang Yingying's brows.

Jian Qingyi raised his eyebrows and spread his hands.

Flaunt and unrestrained.

Huang Yingying became nervous and her mouth seemed to be blocked by someone.

The team leader of Huang Yingying's eldest brother was promoted thanks to the betrothal gifts from her and her sister.

In the Huang family, Huang Yingying's eldest brother is the hope of their Huang family.

Huang Yingying and her sister Huang Lili are her brother's free blood packs.

And it's the kind of free blood pack that is given willingly.

To hit a snake, you have to hit it at its most vulnerable part. Jian Qingyi hit Huang Yingying at that vulnerable part, and she wilted instantly.

"Her aunt, actually we are not a wealthy family. As long as the children are well..." Wang Xiujuan just opened her mouth.

Jian Zhonglan, who still had an orange slice in her mouth, swallowed it in three or two bites and interrupted her hurriedly.

"We don't want a lot for the betrothal gift. Just two thousand will be enough. But we need a large color TV, a large refrigerator, a large washing machine, and..."

"What else? What else? Are you getting married or is my second sister getting married? If you keep talking nonsense here, do you believe I will kick you out?" Jian Qingyi picked up the teacup at hand.

She seriously suspected that Jian Zhonglan was a bedbug.

As long as she is there, there is no hope of peace.

"Second brother, look at your daughter..." Jian Zhonglan didn't dare to confront Jian Qingyi and could only choose to call for help.

"Don't even mention calling him Second Brother. It's useless even if you call him Second Grandpa. He still owes me hundreds of dollars!" Jian Qingyi sneered.
