Bai Miaomiao stopped her, took a deep breath, and said calmly, "Mom! Don't get angry yet. If you don't want this marriage to fall through, you'd better agree to it."
Mother Bai was so angry that she pointed at Bai Miaomiao's nose and said, "Agree? You silly girl, didn't you hear what he said just now? His family is only willing to give 88 yuan as a betrothal gift. They're like sending away beggars."
Bai Lao San also glared angrily, "Exactly, it's true that he lost both the wife and the army, and was slept with for nothing."
Bai Miaomiao looked unhappy. Bai Wawa was not at the dinner table at the moment and had disappeared somewhere.
But it was obvious that he must have taken the opportunity to sneak into her room and look for food. However, at the moment, Bai Miaomiao was too lazy to care about these things.
She simply threw in the towel: "That's not what I meant, Mom and Dad. At least I'm going to marry Lu Yaozu in the future. Marrying into the Lu family will definitely mean I won't have to worry about food and clothing. Maybe I can even bring benefits to my parents' family."
Bai Laosan was stunned. Yes, the Lu family is so rich. If Lu Yaozu marries his daughter, it would not be excessive for him to give something as a filial gift to his father-in-law.
Mother Bai's expression shifted, her eyes rolling back and forth. It was true that the Lu family was so wealthy that anything they took would be valuable.
She had secretly asked someone about the dollar Lu Yaozu had left behind, and found out that the pawnshop had taken it back, and it could be pawned for a hundred dollars.
One hundred yuan! But it's not a small amount. The couple worked so hard and couldn't save this much money after several years.
Mother Bai said, "That's true, but the betrothal money is really... too little."
In the end, he was still unwilling to give up. After all, the Bai family had planned long ago to make a lot of money from him on their daughter's betrothal gift.
The current betrothal gift of 88 yuan is far from their expected goal, and they find it difficult to accept it for a while.
Bai Miaomiao sneered, "Mom and Dad, you better think it through. If your demands are too high and Lu Yaozu's parents are unhappy, it will be our family that suffers in the end. After all, I'm not a virgin anymore, so it's not easy for me to ask for a betrothal gift from other families."
By that time, it would be just as Bai Lao San said, losing both the wife and the army, and not getting any benefits at all.
The Bai couple were furious when they heard this, but thinking that there was nothing they could do, they could only agree.
Bai Lao San said, "Forget it, forget it. Who made you so foolish? You slept with someone without any benefit. Your daughter is a waste of money."
Mother Bai was also angry and unwilling to accept it. She said, "That's right. That bastard Lu Yaozu got away with it for nothing. He got to taste my body before we even got married."
Mrs. Bai spoke vulgarly without considering her daughter's face at all.
Although Bai Miaomiao was used to it, she still felt a little uncomfortable. She said awkwardly, "Mom, doesn't Lu Yaozu still have a watch with you? It should be worth some money if we sell it."
Mother Bai's face froze. Bai Lao San didn't know what was going on, so he immediately asked, "What watch?"
Mother Bai had originally intended to hide her affair from her husband, but now her daughter had exposed her directly. She was so embarrassed that she said angrily, "How much money would that be worth?"
Bai Miaomiao pretended to be puzzled and said, "No, Brother Yaozu wore it before, and he told me that this watch cost 180 yuan when he bought it."
Bai Laosan's eyes widened, and he no longer cared to blame his daughter. He looked at his woman with sparkling eyes and said, "Where is the watch? Why didn't you tell me?"
Mother Bai said angrily, "I'm telling you, are you trying to gamble with me again? I'm telling you, Third Brother Bai, I'm really unlucky to marry you!"
