She curled her lips in contempt, thinking indignantly in her heart:
"Humph! This nagging, annoying old woman is completely useless except for the little bit of value she can be used for!"
Although Qin Runrun was full of dissatisfaction and resentment towards Qin's mother, she was also very clear that the time was not right yet and it was far from the time to completely turn against Qin's mother.
When Qin's mother heard her son ask this question, she thought to herself that she must explain the whole thing to him.
At this moment, Qin Ruanruan tightly grabbed her mother's sleeve, shook her head vigorously at her, and said nervously:
"Then please don't tell your brother. If you tell him, he will definitely stop you without hesitation."
Qin's mother naturally knew her son's temper very well, so she shut up and said nothing more.
Qin Jing, who was standing by, saw the mother and daughter acting so secretively and furtively, and knew that even if she asked, it would be in vain.
In desperation, he had to admonish Qin's mother:
"Mom, you'd better not do anything weird again in the future, otherwise, my second sister's fragile heart will be completely broken by you."
Upon hearing this, Mother Qin curled her lips in disapproval and retorted with a feeling of grievance:
"Humph, she's the one who hurts me the most! She's got such a huge sum of money, but she's so stingy, refusing to spend a single cent. If it weren't for her, our daughter might have been married off in style, and I might even have a big, fat grandson by now."
"Oh, Mom! I knew that whenever you and Ruanruan get together, nothing good would happen! And, what you just said, it's okay to say it at home, but you mustn't go out and yell it."
Qin Jing's face was full of anger. After glaring at her mother fiercely, she began to give her instructions with a worried look on her face.
"Oh, Mom, I've already told you that I will earn the money for my future bride price through my own hard work. There's no need for my second sister to pay for it!"
Qin Jing said this while shaking her head helplessly.
Over the years, Qin Jing has experienced a series of family tragedies and witnessed the warmth and coldness of human nature and the fickleness of the world. He is no longer the frivolous young man who turned a deaf ear to the outside world and had high aspirations.
Now he can also put himself in Qin Wan's shoes and understand the pain and grievances he had endured.
On weekdays, Qin's mother always felt sorry for her son and didn't want him to worry about family matters, so she usually listened to what her son said.
However, the situation was different this time. After all, a large sum of money was involved, and she couldn't make concessions easily.
Mother Qin frowned and retorted with dissatisfaction:
"Humph, just relying on your job? You only earn twenty yuan a month, and you can barely put food on the table. Yet you're still dreaming of saving enough for the wedding gift? That's simply wishful thinking! Qin Wan is your biological sister, and she married a good son-in-law from a wealthy family. What's wrong with asking her to help you with some of the wedding gift?
Look at other girls. Aren't the gifts they receive used to support their parents? But your sister, that stubborn girl, insists on going against common sense and turning her elbow outward! Now even you indulge her like this!"
Hearing her mother's words, Qin Jing was startled at first, then took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart and said:
"Mom, you... Oh, forget it. I don't want to say anything more to make you angry. Just remember to take me with you when you go to discuss this with my second sister."
Qin Jing shook her head with a helpless smile, took a deep breath, and finally mustered up the courage to speak to Qin's mother and put forward her request.
In fact, he had known in his heart that as long as the clever Qin Ruanruan ran to her mother and whispered something, her mother would most likely mention her second sister again.
He was really fed up with Qin Ruanruan, but even so, he couldn't bring himself to kick her out of the house. After all, for more than ten years, their relationship had been quite harmonious.
Since she couldn't stop her mother and Qin Ruanruan from going to visit her second sister, Qin Jing thought:
Forget it! I might as well go along. That way, if something unexpected happens on the way, at least I can help my second sister in time. So, Mother Qin took Qin Jing and Qin Ruanruan with her and set off for the army.
Along the way, Qin Jing seemed calm on the surface, but in fact, he was always on edge inside, because the main purpose of his visit this time was to keep a close eye on his mother and never let her cause trouble with his sister.
Moreover, he had no expectation of getting a single cent of betrothal money from his sister. However, Qin's mother didn't think so. She was obsessed with how to get the most out of her daughter.
Now, she actually set her sights on Qin Jing's betrothal gift and Qin Runrun's dowry, trying to force Qin Wan to pay the money.
As for Qin Ruanruan, although she is often disliked by her mother, she is not an easy person to deal with.
Whenever Mother Qin tried to manipulate her, she would always come up with various ways to counterattack, even resorting to threats. Faced with such a difficult adopted daughter, Mother Qin was furious but could do nothing but sigh inwardly.
After answering the call from Qin's mother, Qin Wan has been preparing for what might happen after they arrive.
