Second Aunt Li Dahong pushed her daughter Cheng Yinkui and son Cheng Jinkui forward.
She lowered her voice and instructed her son and daughter, "Your aunt said that her son-in-law is very rich. He is the deputy director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau at a young age."
"You two go and ask him for the 'change of address fee.' If the red envelope is too small, throw it on the ground and make him add more! Don't let him off the hook unless it's at least fifty or a hundred!"
Cheng Jinkui and Cheng Yinkui obediently stepped forward.
The two men reached out to Du Ziqiang for red envelopes.
"Sister Okra, shouldn't your man give me a change of address fee?"
"If you don't give me a change-of-address fee, I won't call you brother-in-law!"
Cheng Qiuqiu asked, "You want a 'change of address fee'? How much do you want?"
She asked deliberately, because she had just seen her second aunt instructing Jin Kui and Yin Kui, and she was sure her second aunt hadn't said anything nice!
Cheng Yinkui said, "My mom said it's 100 yuan per person, so it'll be 200 yuan in total. My brother-in-law is so rich, he can definitely come up with the money!"
Cheng Jinkui said, "Isn't your brother-in-law's family high-ranking officials? They can't possibly give you too little as a change-of-address fee! Giving too little would be embarrassing for you!"
The brother and sister deliberately strained their necks and shouted, afraid that the neighbors wouldn't hear them.
Du Ziqiang subconsciously touched his pocket. What kind of good person would carry two hundred yuan in their pocket for no reason? He only earns forty or fifty yuan a month!
When Cheng Qiuqiu heard the price of two hundred yuan, her eyebrows practically stood on end.
She said, "I don't have one in my family, so you don't need to call him brother-in-law. I have no intention of acknowledging any of you younger brothers or sisters!"
She turned to Du Ziqiang and said, "Comrade Du, let's unload the stuff and then we'll leave!"
Song Wenhui grabbed Cheng Qiuqiu's arm and shouted, "You're going back to your parents' home to acknowledge your relatives, and you just unload your things and leave? You're not even going to eat?"
"It's just two hundred yuan, isn't it? It's not like your family can't afford it, why are you being so stingy?"
Cheng Xiao Kui was so angry that she wanted to slap Song Wen Hui across the face.
She walked over and said, "Did Grandma and your second aunt ever give you a single penny? Whether two hundred yuan is a lot or a little, it's Du Ziqiang's money. Why should you take Du Ziqiang's money?!"
What's most infuriating is that this muddle-headed mother even helped her second aunt ask Du Ziqiang for money!
She really wanted to crack open Song Wenhui's skull and see how Song Wenhui's brain circuits worked.
Song Wenhui shook her head and said, "Relatives don't hold grudges overnight, and besides, our family was poor back then and we really couldn't afford that much money."
Now that we're wealthy, we can't be stingy with our relatives! We should help our poorer relatives no matter what.
Besides, what business is it of yours, Cheng Xiaokui, if you keep meddling in other people's affairs, don't blame me for being rude to you!
She glared at Cheng Xiao Kui and shouted at her. In her opinion, why not take Du Ziqiang's money? She could use it to show off at her in-laws' house.
Cheng Qiu Kui's face contorted with anger. She said, "Du Ziqiang's money has nothing to do with my second sister, it has to do with me! If you want Du Ziqiang's money, you're taking my money!"
You took my money to fill the holes in Grandma's and Second Aunt's houses? Are you crazy? I'm not crazy!
I was originally planning to give a five-yuan red envelope, but now I'm saving that money! I'm not giving a single penny!
Du Ziqiang, you dare give me a single penny and see what happens, I won't let you get away with this when I get back!
Du Ziqiang nodded obediently, "Yes! Wife, whatever you say goes. I'll listen to you!"
Cheng Qiuqiu said, "Unload the things. I won't eat a single bite of this family's food. Let's leave right now!"
Du Ziqiang readily agreed and quickly unloaded everything from the car and placed it in the alley.
Cheng Qiuqiu didn't even go inside. She went straight back to the passenger seat, told Du Ziqiang to get in the car, and left.
When Song Wenhui saw that Qiu Kui was about to leave, she knew she would lose all face if Qiu Kui did!
She pounded on the car door, telling Cheng Qiuqiu to get out. "I've raised you for so many years. You heartless wretch, you forget your poor relatives now that you have money!"
Get down here right now, or you'll never set foot in my house again.
Without your family's support, I'd like to see how your in-laws treat you. You'll be kicked out by them, and nobody will take you in!
Du Ziqiang, who had just gotten into the car, suddenly pushed open the door, got out, and shouted, "Why did my family kick Qiu Kui out? Why did my family bully Qiu Kui?"
"Okra is my lawfully wedded wife, I cherish her more than enough! Don't you dare curse us!"
Cheng Xiao Kui crossed her arms and said with a sneer, "If Qiu Kui is kicked out of her in-laws' house one day, will you take her in? Will you give her money?"
Haha! You won't give okra a single penny, and you'll even complain that the okra is eating your family's grain!
If you really care about Okra, why didn't you even give her a dowry?
The dowry is Qiu Kui's own property; even if they divorce in the future, she can take it with her. Did you give her a single penny?!
"If your family is poor and can't afford a dowry, that's one thing, but how much money does your family make every day? And you're not giving her a single penny?"
This is what angered her the most. If her family was poor, it would be acceptable for her husband's family to help her family and give her family more dowry.
The daughter wouldn't complain about her family not giving her a dowry, since the family really didn't have any money.
Song Wenhui clearly had a lot of money, but she never thought of giving it to Cheng Qiuqiu!
Song Wenhui's face turned black and white in turns.
Grandma Dong Fenghua sneered, "I told you long ago, girls are more outgoing. Look at you, you've only been married a few days and you don't even recognize your own family anymore."
You should have asked for a much higher dowry from the start! You raised her for so many years and only asked for two thousand yuan. You've lost money on this deal!
Cheng Dongkui came out of the yard in a wheelchair and cursed, "My sister's marriage is not a business transaction! My family doesn't sell our daughters!"
Dong Fenghua slapped Cheng Dongkui hard across the face with her backhand, "Do you even have the right to speak when your ancestor is talking?! It's only been a few days, and you dare to yell at me like that!"
However, she only slapped her once before Cheng Xiao Kui grabbed her arm in mid-air.
Cheng Xiao Kui shoved forward with all her might, knocking her grandmother to the ground.
She said menacingly, "Try hitting my brother again and see what happens!"
Cheng Dongkui covered his face with his hands. He only regretted that his legs were still unable to walk, so he could personally get back at Cheng Dongkui!
Song Wenhui never expected that her mother-in-law would dare to hit Cheng Dongkui.
Her daughter was nothing special to her, but Cheng Dongkui was the apple of her eye!
She rushed over and shouted, "Why did you hit my son?! You dare to touch my son again and see what happens!"
Second Aunt, hands on hips, spat at Song Wenhui's face, "Pah! How dare you talk to your mother-in-law like that? A daughter-in-law like you should be drowned in a pig cage!"
Today, on behalf of my mother-in-law, I'll teach you a lesson, you unfilial daughter-in-law!
She hadn't hit Song Wenhui in a long time, and seeing Song Wenhui making money made her insanely envious. Finally finding an excuse, she naturally wanted to give Song Wenhui a good beating to vent her anger.
Cheng Xiao Kui didn't even bother to intervene, just watching Song Wen Hui and Li Da Hong grab each other's hair and start fighting.
She called out to Du Ziqiang, "Why aren't you leaving? What are you waiting for?"
Du Ziqiang asked, "Aren't we going to do anything about it?"
