Chapter 105 Childhood Sweethearts

"When I knew you were getting married, I was extremely anxious. I wanted to go to the reservoir to call our mother and let her know, but they didn't lend us phones."

Xia Jing's eyes turned red again as she spoke. She continued, "I had no choice but to run to the town, but I had no money. In the end, I had to borrow fifty cents from them before I told my mother."

From what Xia Liang heard her say, did she want to take credit for it?

Suddenly she felt like laughing. With Xia Jing's acting skills, how did she manage to fool herself in her previous life? She suspected that she didn't use her brain at that time.

"So I should thank you. Should I also reimburse you for the 50 cents phone bill?"

Xia Liang curled his lips in sarcasm, and Xia Jing pouted aggrievedly: "Sister, I didn't mean that. We are sisters, and I am doing this for your own good."

Xia Liang: "You'd better not do this for me!"

Xia Liang couldn't bear Xia Jing's kindness to her.

"Sister, how can you say that to me? I really only care about your own good!"

Xia Jing spoke while crying, and people who didn't know the truth would think she had suffered a great injustice.

"Xia Liang, you little bitch, how could you be so ungrateful? If it weren't for your sister who went to great lengths to inform me, I wouldn't have known you wanted to get married secretly! How could I have given birth to a glutton like you!"

Mother Xia struggled hard, trying to break her arms free so she could hit Xia Liang again.

"Haha, should I thank her then?"

Xia Liang glared at Xia Jing, who pouted aggrievedly: "Sister, I'm only doing this for your own good."

"Are you the man Xia Liang is going to marry? You look like a decent man, but why are you so inhumane?"

"You want to marry my daughter. Have you asked a matchmaker to come to your house to propose marriage? Where is the betrothal gift?"

Mother Xia struggled several times and found that she couldn't get out of this situation, so she was too lazy to continue and quickly told the purpose of her coming here today.

Ning Zhiyuan pursed his lips. He could afford the two hundred yuan, but his wife was not happy about it. He did not want to offend her for someone who had nothing to do with her.

"The gift you want is the most important thing!"

Xia Liang took a step forward, stood in front of Xia's mother, and asked in a cold voice.

"Haha, isn't that nonsense? I worked so hard to raise you, Xia Liang, you little thief, you want to fly away before your wings are even grown? You found a wild man and didn't even ask for a dowry. How can you be so mean!"

Listening to Xia's mother's reckless scolding, Xia Liang's already dead heart now felt a little uncomfortable.

"You worked so hard to raise me?"

The corners of Xia Liang's mouth curled up sarcastically, and when he looked at Xia's mother, he saw a hint of coldness in her eyes.

"Xia Liang, how can you talk to your mother like this?"

A sudden voice interrupted Xia Liang's words, and Meng Xiaoxiao, who had just been helped away, walked over quickly.

"Brother Yuan, please don't be so rude!"

Meng Xiaoxiao said this and reached out to grab Ning Zhiyuan's arm.

How could Ning Zhiyuan let her touch him? He loosened his hand, and Mother Xia's wrist was finally free.

"It is said that there are no parents who are not wrong. Even if you want to find a man to marry, you should tell your family. Your parents have worked hard to raise you from childhood to adulthood. It must not be easy, right?"

As she spoke, she glanced at Ning Zhiyuan, the meaning of which was a bit puzzling.

Ning Zhiyuan frowned unhappily, but his eyes were still fixed on Xia Liang.

His wife is Xia Liang, and other women have nothing to do with him.

"Humph, Xia Liang, I really raised you for nothing. Just look at anyone and they'll tell you're doing something wrong."

Xia Liang didn't expect Meng Xiaoxiao to suddenly show up and try to get involved in her affairs.

What did this woman mean by what she said just now? It was very confusing. It meant that I was unfilial!

It's a pity that she didn't know what Xia's mother was like. But the people in this village, even if they had come into contact with Xia's mother before and knew that she was not a good person, there would still be people who would say nonsense even if it didn't concern them.

"Well, actually what this girl said is right. There are no bad parents in the world. You still have to tell your family before getting married."

"You know what, this woman is unreasonable!"

"Look, look, the highlight is coming. Last time Xia Jing and Zhou Hao, this woman asked for 200 yuan. I wonder how much Xia Liang, the educated youth, will ask for this time."

…

"Wow, two hundred dollars. Are you marrying off your daughter or selling her?"

Many people were stunned when they heard the number 200. After all, in rural areas, it was normal to give a few yuan as a gift to marry a girl.

"Haha, why don't you sell your daughter and see if anyone will offer 200 yuan as a betrothal gift?"

"I……"

Everyone was silent, but Meng Xiaoxiao raised her head proudly. Two hundred yuan was nothing to her.

"Xia Liang, I suggest you talk to your mother. A marriage without the blessing of your family will not be happy."

Meng Xiaoxiao winked at Xia's mother as she spoke, and Xia's mother felt extremely comfortable with what she said.

There was a breeze in the evening, blowing up Meng Xiaoxiao's hair. Her hair covered her face a little and it was itchy, so Meng Xiaoxiao raised her arms and tucked her hair behind her ears.

"you……"

Mother Xia had been looking at Meng Xiaoxiao. Suddenly she stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Do you like him?"

Xia's mother's sudden approach made Meng Xiaoxiao frown unhappily, and the taste of her mouth when she spoke almost made Meng Xiaoxiao vomit.

She quickly took two steps back to keep some distance from Xia's mother. "Yes, we grew up together, childhood sweethearts, and both parents are very satisfied with us. We originally thought that we would get married when we grow up."

Meng Xiaoxiao said this openly. Mother Xia's face changed. She turned around and looked at Xia Liang fiercely: "You little bitch, are you so short of men? What did I teach you in the beginning? You are so good that you don't learn it. Instead, you learn how to seduce other people's men!"

Xia Liang was stunned. How could she seduce another man?

"Ms. Xia, please speak with more respect!"

Ning Zhiyuan's face turned cold, and he finally looked at Meng Xiaoxiao: "Meng Xiaoxiao, please be careful with your words."

"Brother Yuan, am I wrong? Didn't we grow up together? Or do your parents dislike me?"

Meng Xiaoxiao was just trying to change the subject. Ning Zhiyuan was so angry that veins on his forehead were throbbing. He was about to speak, but Xia Liang pulled his hand and whispered, "Let me do it!"

Xia's mother and Meng Xiaoxiao are both women. It would be too embarrassing for Ning Zhiyuan to quarrel with them. Women's affairs should be resolved by women.

Besides, Xia Liang was not a coward. Whether it was a quarrel or a fight, she had never lost.

"Ms. Meng, you said that you and my man have been childhood sweethearts, right?"

Xia Liang smiled slightly, and without waiting for Meng Xiaoxiao to reply, she continued, "How many female classmates did my husband have since he started school? How many neighbors did he grow up with, in the same community or courtyard? According to what you said, are all those women his childhood sweethearts?"

"You? I'm different from them. Uncles and aunts like me very much!"
