Jiang Yimei was so ashamed by the scolding that she wanted to disappear, and her situation became awkward.

However, she was indeed wrong; she should have told Jiang Ze what happened.

After thinking for a moment, she left the ward and called Jiang Ze.

Upon answering the phone, Jiang Ze asked what was wrong.

Jiang Yimei told him the truth, hoping he could make a phone call to her father and say hello.

Jiang Ze knew how to make a phone call, so he asked Jiang Yimei to give him her father's phone number.

Jiang Yimei gave it to him without hesitation.

Soon after, Jiang's mother's cell phone rang.

It was an unfamiliar number; I had no idea who was calling.

"Could it be a relative?"

She clicked to answer out of curiosity.

As a result, a very annoying voice suddenly appeared in her ears.

"Hello! Is this Uncle?"

"You're only calling now? Isn't that a bit too late?" Jiang's mother said sarcastically, her words filled with disgust.

Jiang Ze, on the other end of the phone, could feel his mother's dislike even through the screen, which made him feel innocent and resentful.

However, we can't just shift the blame to Yi Mei, can we?

So he forced himself to remain calm and sincerely apologized: "I'm sorry, I was wrong."

This attitude was acceptable. Jiang's mother suppressed her anger and said in a slightly kinder tone, "What is it? Don't ask those nonsense questions. If you have money, just send it over. Yi Mei has been going door to door and begging many people for this matter."

"Mom! Can't you speak properly?"

Jiang Yimei immediately became restless, because Jiang Ze was not her husband and had no obligation to fulfill any obligations for her. Forcing him like this would give him a very bad impression.

Jiang's mother's face darkened instantly, and she angrily questioned, "How am I not speaking properly? He's our future son-in-law, shouldn't he fulfill his obligations?"

“That’s for the future,” Jiang Yimei replied.

Jiang's mother made a harsh statement: "If he can't even do this much, he can forget about ever setting foot in our home or marrying you."

Jiang Ze was truly frightened and felt sorry for Jiang Yimei, so he held back and politely asked, "Auntie, how much do you want?"

"One hundred thousand, is that enough?" Jiang's mother's tone remained sharp, as if there was no room for negotiation.

"this……"

Jiang Ze on the other end of the phone was immediately stunned.

He really doesn't have that much money, but he could come up with a few thousand if given a few thousand.

"Are you mute? You don't even have 100,000 yuan. How are you going to marry my daughter?"

The silence on the other end of the phone infuriated Jiang's mother, who then launched into a scathing critique.

"aunt……"

Jiang Ze was extremely embarrassed and wanted to say something, but Jiang Yimei interrupted him.

"Mom, can you please stop pressuring them like this? Their career is just starting out, and they can't come up with that much money all at once."

"I've been working for three years and I'm just getting started. When will I be able to marry you?"

Jiang's mother asked with a livid face. The anger that was stuck in her chest was too great and she had to vent it.

Jiang Yimei was speechless when asked the question; she was truly filled with fear about the future.

After scolding her daughter, Jiang's mother then scolded Jiang Ze: "Jiang Ze, the bride price is 100,000 yuan. Go back and think about it carefully. If you can't come up with it, don't step into our house."

After saying that, she hung up the phone, not wanting to say another word to Jiang Ze, that unreliable person.

On the other end of the phone, Jiang Ze breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like he had escaped a disaster.

Fortunately, Jiang's mother hung up the phone on her own initiative, otherwise he really wouldn't know what to say.
