Chapter 97 (1/2)

Mother Bai said, "You silly girl, your dad lost money playing cards again, and we can barely make ends meet. I came to ask you for some money."

Bai Miaomiao said as soon as she heard it: "No money at home again? How could that be? You clearly kept all the betrothal money given by the Lu family."

Mother Bai yelled, "You silly girl, how can you touch that money? Is your brother going to get married in the future? And you still have the nerve to ask for a betrothal gift? It's only 88 yuan. It's really cheap for the Lu family."

As Mrs. Bai was talking, she started to rage: "Only our family is easy to talk to. Their daughter was ruined by their boy..."

Bai Miaomiao's face changed drastically, and she quickly stepped forward to cover her mother's mouth, "Mom, please don't talk nonsense."

If she spreads this all over the world, she won’t have to see anyone anymore.

Lu Yaozu also hurriedly said: "Mother-in-law, please don't be like this, how much money do you want, just tell me!"

Mother Bai pushed her daughter away, finally satisfied, and said, "One yuan, just give me one yuan."

Bai Miaomiao's eyes widened. "What? A ten-thousand yuan? Yaozu's monthly salary is only thirty or forty yuan, and you're asking for a ten-thousand yuan right away, Mom? Where do we have that much money?"

Mother Bai was so angry that she reached out and strangled her, "You stupid girl, you've only been married for a short time, and you're already taking sides like that. The Lu family is so wealthy, how could they be short of this little money? I don't care, I won't be able to make ends meet without this little bit of money."

She also wanted two hundred yuan, but when she thought about it, the Lu family only gave 88 yuan as a betrothal gift, so asking for two hundred yuan was really too much.

Lu Yaozu: “…”

More and more people gathered around, and Lu Yaozu managed to take out some small change he had saved from his pocket and put it into Mother Bai's hands.

"Mother-in-law, this is all I have for now. You go back first, and I'll let Miaomiao bring the rest back to you later." He smiled and coaxed her, and finally she was comforted.

Mother Bai was not satisfied at all. She took the scattered bills in her hand and shook them loudly, and her saliva almost sprayed on Lu Yaozu's face.

"Oh, with such a small amount of money, you sent away a man called Xizi, the grandson of the Lu family. My Miaomiao is really losing out by marrying you, you useless thing."

Lu Yaozu was scolded so much that he couldn't even lift his head.

Bai Miaomiao was anxious and pushed her, saying, "Mom, take the money and leave quickly. If you keep arguing, your daughter will be in trouble if the Lu family finds out. It will be difficult for you to get the money back."

When Mother Bai heard this, she realized that this made sense. Besides, the trip was not in vain, as she got some money after all. Mother Bai was so angry that she left.

Lu Yaozu dispersed the onlookers: "Go away, everyone! Stop watching."

He was completely overwhelmed at the moment. Mother Bai asked for a ten-yuan bill right away, and he had only managed less than thirty yuan at most. Where would he get the rest of the money?

Bai Miaomiao's eyes were misty with tears, and she said aggrievedly, "Brother Yaozu, it's all my fault. I made things difficult for you. Oh, if only I could have the conditions that Jiang Xiaoci's family has. Not only would I get a betrothal gift of three turns and one ring, but I would also have my own house to live in."

When Lu Yaozu heard this, his face darkened and he said, "Those were all given by my uncle. Don't worry, Miaomiao, I will definitely not let you down."

Bai Miaomiao was still wiping away tears. "Brother Yaozu, you don't need to pay any attention to my mom. Let's get up early tomorrow. I don't believe she can come here to block people every day."

Lu Yaozu was so moved by his wife's consideration for him: "It's okay, Miaomiao, I don't mind."
