After deciding where to go for their honeymoon, Meng Zihan and Liu Mingxuan spent another long time together, and when they realized it was getting late, they reluctantly parted ways, with Liu Mingxuan taking Meng Zihan back to the Ye family home.
Thinking about the upcoming trip to Haicheng, Meng Zihan walked briskly, mentally preparing how to bring it up with Meng Xueyun.
Upon entering the house, I saw Meng Xueyun and Ye Zhenghua sitting on the sofa watching TV.
The twins were doing their homework in their own room.
The apartment allocated to the Ye family is one of the oldest in this residential compound. Not only is the layout unreasonable, but the lighting is also poor.
When they moved in, the real estate department only did a rough painting of the walls.
The Ye family originally lived in a three-bedroom apartment, but now they have suddenly switched to a two-bedroom apartment. The old furniture has crammed the small living room full, making it very cramped.
Having spent so much time in Liu Mingxuan's bright and cozy little apartment, Meng Zihan felt very uncomfortable when she returned, as if she couldn't even breathe properly.
We have to move out right away!
Meng Zihan had made up her mind, but she didn't show it on her face. She greeted Ye Zhenghua and Meng Xueyun warmly, "Auntie, Uncle, are you watching TV?"
Ye Zhenghua stared at her in surprise.
Ever since she got together with Liu Mingxuan, this girl has become much more cheerful, unlike before when she always looked so miserable and lifeless.
But I've never greeted you this proactively before!
Having served as a workshop director for so many years, he was quite knowledgeable and immediately made a guess.
Unsolicited kindness is either a sign of ulterior motives or theft!
We need to be careful.
Meng Xueyun, however, didn't have as many ulterior motives as him, and immediately replied with a smile, "Yes, Xiaohan is back. Did you have a good time today?"
"I'm so happy." Meng Zihan sat down next to her, took her hand, and whispered in her ear, "Auntie, I have something to tell you..."
Seeing her beaming face, Meng Xueyun asked with a smile, "What's wrong? You look so happy."
"Let's go inside and talk."
Meng Zihan glanced at Ye Zhenghua, her voice even lower.
"What exactly is going on? It's so mysterious." Meng Xueyun asked curiously.
Meng Zihan pulled her into her room: "Come on, come into my room, I'll tell you slowly."
Meng Xueyun smiled and said, "Alright, alright."
Ye Zhenghua spoke in a sinister tone from the side: "Is there something you're hiding that can't be said here?"
Meng Zihan's smile faded, and she looked at Meng Xueyun with a troubled expression.
Meng Xueyun waved her hand: "It's none of your business what happens between us women."
After saying that, she excitedly went into her room with Meng Zihan.
Ye Zhenghua slammed his fist on the sofa in anger, gritting his teeth and cursing, "You idiot, she'll probably sell you out and you'll still be counting the money for her!"
He believed that Meng Zihan was definitely up to no good and was plotting something against the Ye family, while Meng Xueyun was foolishly being fooled by her.
"At this rate, she'll drain this family dry sooner or later!"
A strong sense of weariness welled up in Ye Zhenghua's heart; he simply could no longer tolerate Meng Xueyun's stupidity.
"Let's get a divorce!" The thought suddenly popped into his head.
Unaware of Ye Zhenghua's thoughts, Meng Xueyun entered Meng Zihan's room and was pulled to sit down on the bed by Meng Zihan.
"What is it that you need to come in and tell me?" she asked impatiently.
Meng Zihan said excitedly, "Auntie, I promised Mingxuan that I would go to Haicheng with him for our honeymoon."
"Going to Haicheng for your honeymoon?" Meng Xueyun was taken aback for a moment, then immediately said, "It's a bit far, the travel expenses alone will be quite high."
Upon hearing this, Meng Zihan lowered her head and said shyly, "That's right. As soon as I mentioned going to Haicheng, he agreed and was even willing to cover all the expenses."
Meng Xueyun said with relief, "Mingxuan is really generous and treats you very well. You must cherish this opportunity and not be petty or quarrel with him."
"I know," Meng Zihan agreed, then bit her lip, looking somewhat troubled, and said, "But Auntie, Mingxuan is a little short on money lately and wants to wait until he gets paid before going. I can't wait, I want to go right away, so I was thinking of paying for his travel and accommodation expenses first, and he can pay me back when he gets paid."
"But as you know, I haven't been working long and I don't have any money on hand... Could you lend me some money first? I'll give it to you once Mingxuan gives me the money."
Upon hearing this, Meng Xueyun's smile froze instantly.
What's going on here?
You two are going on your honeymoon and you expect me to pay for it?
What does "advance payment" mean? What if they refuse to pay me back later?
I can't exactly skin you alive and sell you!
Besides, even if I wanted to, I wouldn't have that much money.
They dared not ask Ye Zhenghua for it.
Ye Zhenghua is sure to skin me alive first!
Meng Xueyun's face fell, and she said unhappily, "Xiaohan, it's not that your aunt doesn't want to help you, it's just that the cost of going to Haicheng is too high. You know our family's current situation, we really can't afford that much money. Why don't we find a small place nearby to make do for now, and go to Haicheng later when we have more money? Anyway, Haicheng is right there, it's not going anywhere, it's the same whether we go sooner or later."
Upon hearing this, Meng Zihan immediately became anxious.
"Auntie, this is our honeymoon! It only happens once in a lifetime, how can we treat it so casually!"
Meng Xueyun earnestly advised, "Xiaohan, marriage isn't just about having fun; you also have to consider practical matters. If something happens to you two going on a trip before you're even married, the girl will be the one who suffers. Why should she have to pay for it? If word gets out, won't people laugh at us?"
Meng Zihan was unhappy.
She pouted and said, "Auntie, how can you say that? What era are we living in? We advocate gender equality. Who says the man has to pay for the honeymoon?"
