Chapter 7 I agree, the bride price is mine.



"Dad, it's your problem if you don't agree, I agree!" Xu Qingning said impatiently. She picked up the gift box on the table, put the money in her pocket, and said to Zhao Jingyu without changing her expression, "I'll accept these betrothal gifts. First, have them carry the whole pig and sheep from the stairwell to your car, and then come up and help me with my luggage."

Xu Jianguo disagreed!

Of course he can't accept these betrothal gifts!

Whole pigs and sheep cost a lot of money, isn't it better to keep them for your own living?

Why should they get off easy?

"Xu Qingning, are you trying to drive me crazy?" Xu Jianguo was furious. She actually defied him with this hoodlum and hastily got married.

They did such a disgraceful thing, and he's not even allowed to make things difficult for this little hoodlum as the father-in-law?

"Dad, it's not that I'm trying to make you angry, it's that you're making things difficult for me." Xu Qingning put the money away with a clear conscience and retorted without any politeness, "Tang Wenya and I are both pregnant. Why do you only give in to her and force me to have an abortion? You don't even want me as your daughter anymore, so why should I acknowledge you as my father? I don't have a father like you. From now on, I will make my own decisions."

Tang Wenya, who had been watching the commotion, panicked when Xu Qingning singled her out: "You're lying, I didn't..."

"Whether it's true or not, you and Xiao Tingshen both know." Xu Qingning was too lazy to argue with her. Tang Wenya was just being stubborn. Then she said to Zhao Jingyu, "Go and carry things down the hallway. Why aren't you carrying them yet?"

“Qingning, since the betrothal gifts have already been given, there’s no reason to take them away.” Jiang Yumei immediately said when she heard Xu Qingning was going to take the things away, “Your father is just angry for a moment, he will agree.”

She was just calculating how much money that pig and sheep could fetch, enough for her family to eat meat for more than half a year. Now Xu Qingning is saying she wants to take them away.

She was heartbroken.

“But my dad just said he doesn’t agree.” Xu Qingning looked at Jiang Yumei obediently. “Men, you know, a man’s word is his bond. He can’t just say whatever he wants, right?”

Jiang Yumei was speechless for a moment.

She glanced at Xu Jianguo, who was so angry that his chest ached. He remained silent with a dark face. Now that things had come to this, he couldn't very well say that he had agreed, could he?

The two young men looked at Zhao Jingyu, who replied without hesitation, "Then carry it away!"

Xiao Tingshen and Tang Wenya exchanged a glance and looked at each other blankly.

Two young men responded and went out the door, carrying whole pigs and sheep downstairs.

The two returned quickly and stood at the door looking at Xu Qingning. Xu Qingning didn't hesitate and pointed to the luggage and sewing machine she had packed the night before: "Could you please help me carry these luggage and this sewing machine to the car?"

It must be said that Zhao Jingyu and his brother are quite capable.

They are worth getting to know.

"Qingning, what are you doing?" Jiang Yumei became even more anxious when she saw the sewing machine. It seemed that they hadn't gotten any dowry, and now they had to give up a sewing machine as well?

"Please, this is my mother's sewing machine, of course I have to take it." Xu Qingning pointed to her packed luggage, "These are my clothes and daily necessities, are you going to open them and check them too?"

“The sewing machine my sister used was of course Qingning’s,” Liang Yufeng said to Jiang Yumei, stepping forward with a hint of annoyance. “Why would you leave it to her instead of her?”

“Qingning, that’s not what I meant. What I meant was, today isn’t the day to move things. Even if your father agrees to your marriage, you can’t just leave like this.” Jiang Yumei looked at Xu Jianguo and continued, “Marriage is a big deal. We need to find someone to choose an auspicious date and hold a wedding. It’s not like you can just leave with him like this.”

“Auntie, it seems you didn’t listen to a word Zhao Jingyu said. He only has three days, how can he have time to hold a wedding?” Xu Qingning didn’t care about the wedding at all. She looked up at Zhao Jingyu and said seriously, “I don’t need a wedding. You just need to take care of supporting the family.”

She and Zhao Jingyu had absolutely no feelings for each other, so having a wedding would be pointless.

Weddings are for others to see, but life is for yourself.

"Don't worry, I mean what I say." Zhao Jingyu met her gaze and waved his hand, "Take him away!"

Tang Wenya seemed to realize something, quickly went into the bedroom, opened the wardrobe and looked inside, then exclaimed in surprise, "Wait, Qingning, why did you take all my clothes too?"

Everyone stared at Xu Qingning, who smiled slightly and opened her bundle in front of everyone: "Tang Wenya, you're used to taking advantage of others. You're treating the things you took from me as yours. Tell me, which one is yours?"

“This red wool coat is elegant.” Jiang Yumei recognized the red wool coat in the bundle at a glance.

Before Xu Qingning could speak, Liang Yufeng started cursing: "You're talking nonsense! I bought the fabric for this wool coat and made it for Qingning myself. I noticed that Qingning hadn't worn it, so I asked her about it. She said that Tang Wenya had borrowed it. So you guys borrowed it and then it became yours?"

Tang Wenya blushed instantly: "What I mean is, Qingning shouldn't have rummaged through my closet without my permission when I wasn't there."

She did indeed borrow this red wool coat from Xu Qingning.

But this dress has always been hanging in her closet. Even if Xu Qingning wanted to take it back, she should have told her first.

"Why should I ask you if I'm just taking my clothes?" Xu Qingning was speechless. "Who do you think you are?!"

Tang Wenya persisted: "Anyway, it's wrong of you to rummage through my closet."

Xiao Tingshen gave Tang Wenya a meaningful look. He had often seen Tang Wenya wear this red wool coat, and he had even praised her for looking good in red.

Who would have thought that it was she who borrowed it from Xu Qingning?

Of course, there's nothing wrong with borrowing Xu Qingning's things, but to treat them as one's own is going too far.

Furthermore, Tang Wenya often intentionally or unintentionally belittled Xu Qingning in front of him, portraying her as utterly worthless.

Xu Qingning was indeed foolish and wicked, chasing after him all day long, which made him hate her.

But now it seems that Tang Wenya wasn't much more aloof than she appeared.

"If I'm even slightly wrong, you're nine parts wrong." Xu Qingning didn't want to argue with her, so she said to the two young men, "Alright, carry them away!"

"Qingning, are you really leaving like this?" Jiang Yumei was so angry that she could hardly speak, but in front of Xiao Tingshen, she still had to maintain her image and said in a good-natured manner, "I think we should sit down and have a good talk."

"There's nothing to talk about," Xu Qingning refused directly.

She originally wanted to ask Xu Jianguo for the household registration booklet.

But then I thought, her household registration is a collective household registration, not at home. When she gets the marriage certificate, she can just get a certificate from her workplace to prove her identity.

"Xu Qingning, do you think you could get a marriage certificate without my consent?" Xu Jianguo realized that Xu Qingning was really going to leave, and he gritted his teeth and issued an ultimatum, "If you step out of this door today, don't come back."

Xu Qingning left without looking back.

She never wants to come back to that kind of home.

The area downstairs was once again crowded with onlookers. What was going on? Why were the betrothal gifts that had been carried up now being carried down again?

Wait, why are they carrying down a sewing machine and several bundles?
