Chapter 306 The Storyteller Enters the Stage
Seeing that no one spoke, Jian Qingyi smiled and asked the middle-aged woman sitting by the window, "Auntie, how much do you have to give as a gift to marry a wife nowadays?"
The middle-aged woman was angry and didn't want to talk, but seeing Jian Qingyi's smile, she said with a look of surprise, "Six hundred."
"That's a lot!" Jian Qingyi exclaimed.
"Of course not. Nowadays, the bride price is getting higher and higher. In order to marry a daughter-in-law, the parents have to take out their coffins." The middle-aged woman sighed.
"Who says it's not true? If you meet someone who is easy to talk to, the two families can discuss and get the matter done. But if you meet someone who is unreasonable and only cares about money, then you will be in big trouble." Jian Qingyi followed her words.
"They say marrying the wrong man ruins your life, and marrying the wrong wife ruins three generations. When you marry a wife, you really have to look at her character. You can't just bring any woman into your family. Otherwise, it will be your children and grandchildren who will suffer."
After hearing what Jian Qingyi said, the middle-aged woman felt as if she had found a confidant.
The conversation started in an instant.
"That's what I said, but that evil guy didn't listen and became obsessed with that vixen." When she said this, the middle-aged woman glared at Ming Haihui viciously.
He was obviously very dissatisfied with Ming Haihui, his future daughter-in-law.
"Girl, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. Because of this, I haven't had a good night's sleep in ages. Look at my white hair, they all grew this year." The middle-aged woman lowered her head to look at Jian Qingyi.
The young man looked at the white hair on his mother's head, and a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes.
Noticing this, Jian Qingyi curled the corners of her mouth.
It's not hopeless.
Jian Qingyi gave the middle-aged woman a soothing look and shifted her gaze to the young man.
"Young man, what do you like about Ming Haihui?"
When the young man met Jian Qingyi's beautiful peach blossom eyes, his face suddenly turned red and he avoided Jian Qingyi's gaze embarrassedly.
Lu Yujing frowned slightly.
Zhou Chenfeng smiled.
This guy had acted like he was willing to live and die for Ming Haihui before, but in the blink of an eye, he became obsessed with Jian Qingyi...
His love is too worthless.
Qin Mengjie's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly.
As someone who had been through it, how could she not see the eagerness in the young man's eyes?
"Since you can't tell me what you like about Ming Haihui, let's listen to a story to relax. After listening to this story, I think you should be able to make a choice." Jian Qingyi winked at Liu Meili who was huddled in the corner.
As Jian Qingyi finished speaking, everyone's attention was focused on Liu Meili.
Only then did the middle-aged woman see Liu Meili's appearance clearly.
"You are the second daughter of Mr. Liu from the village next door..." She pointed at Liu Meili and stood up excitedly.
Liu Meili nodded.
"Do you have a partner? I heard that you went back a few days ago? Did you go back to visit him?" The middle-aged woman was particularly excited to see her fellow villager thousands of miles away.
Liu Meili frowned slightly. She had never expected that the middle-aged woman would still be in the mood to chat at this critical moment.
"Aunt, listen to her first." Jian Qingyi reminded while holding back a laugh.
The middle-aged woman then realized that everyone in the small conference room was looking at her.
She sat back down somewhat embarrassedly.
Ming Haihui felt inexplicably nervous.
Especially when they heard that Liu Meili was from the same hometown as them.
Although she had no impression of Liu Meili, her heart couldn't stop feeling anxious.
At the same time, a bad feeling arose in my heart.
She always felt that Liu Meili's appearance here was not a coincidence, but...
It's been planned for a long time.
Just when she was feeling uneasy, Liu Meili looked at her steadily.
Just this simple glance made her heart beat to 180 in an instant.
"Ming Haiping's child was killed by Ming Haihui's mother."
This sentence was like a bombshell, shocking everyone in the small conference room.
Except Jian Qingyi.
"You're talking nonsense!" Ming Haihui's face turned pale.
Although she tried her best to suppress it, her eyes still revealed unprecedented panic.
"You know whether I am talking nonsense or not." Liu Meili looked straight at Ming Haihui, without any intention of backing down.
At this moment, in Jian Qingyi's heart, she is the Sailor Moon who speaks for her deceased lover.
"I heard that Ming Haiping found a girlfriend outside. Your mother was worried that he would no longer send his allowance home, so she deliberately hid it from him and bought him a wife in the mountains. Ming Haiping objected, and your mother agreed to send the girl back on the surface, but secretly drugged the two of them and made them do it..." Liu Meili stared at Ming Haihui's eyes the whole time.
Instead, Ming Haihui avoided his gaze and didn't dare to meet his gaze.
"No, you're talking nonsense..." Ming Haihui started to cry again.
"Although my mother is not my brother's biological mother, she has always treated my brother like her own son..."
"Which mother would let her own son, who is not even as tall as a backpack, go to the fields to pick grass for pigs? Go to the mountains to collect firewood, and go to the river to wash clothes in the cold winter?" Liu Meili's questions came one after another.
"When were you old enough to go to the fields to pick grass for pigs, or collect firewood in the mountains? Did you wash clothes by the river in the cold winter?"
Ming Haihui shook her head desperately, tears streaming down her face.
Her eyes seemed to be filled with endless grievances and helplessness, like a kitten persecuted by a wicked person, shivering in the cold wind.
Most people really can't stand her actions.
Jian Qingyi picked up the water cup in front of her and took a sip...
Sweet.
She glanced down.
Malted milk.
There is definitely no such thing in Lu Yujing's office.
I really don’t know where Meng Xiaoyang got it from.
As if he had noticed his young wife's actions, Lu Yujing took the cup from her hand, lowered his head and took a sip. After making sure that there was nothing unusual, he handed it back to her.
Zhou Chenfeng, who was sitting next to Lu Yujing, rolled his eyes almost to the sky.
The other person was crying his heart out, but these two guys were just drinking, taking turns to drink.
The people sitting by the window obviously noticed Lu Yujing's little action and were secretly glancing over here.
As a result, He Qian, who had not paid attention to this side before, also looked over here curiously.
Realizing that everyone's eyes were on Jian Qingyi and no one was paying attention to her, Ming Haihui could hardly maintain her miserable, childish and helpless expression.
"Liu Meili, you said that Ming Haihui's mother killed Ming Haiping's child. Why did she kill Ming Haiping's child? What benefit would it bring to her?" Jian Qingyi pretended to be confused.
"What benefits?" Liu Meili sneered.
"Of course it's for funeral expenses and pensions!"
"While the child is alive, Ming Haiping's funeral expenses and pension should naturally be passed on to his child. Now that the child is gone, Ming Haiping's funeral expenses and pension should naturally change hands."
