Both of the previous two people said there was no romantic love involved, just a normal liking.
Zhong Yi'an lowered her head, seemingly lost in thought.
His reaction finally earned him a trending topic.
Whether he still harbors feelings for his ex has become the focus of everyone's discussion.
Jiang Tian stood by, smiling the whole time, without saying a word.
The couple seemed both strange and calm, which was quite inexplicable.
However, relatively speaking, the two of them gave people a more relaxed feeling, at least they only talked about very everyday topics, unlike the other two couples, whose marital problems were far too heavy, after all, what they faced even violated the law.
Jiang Tian and Zhong Yi'an finished answering, and it was finally Qin Menghan and Zhou Xiaoyu's turn.
This couple is currently the most discussed couple.
Qin Menghan, with his silver tongue, brought up the matter of the exorbitant dowry he had paid to Zhou Xiaoyu, finally turning the tables. Now, opinions about the two of them are divided online, instead of one-sided criticism of Qin Menghan.
The issue of bride price is indeed a very hot topic.
The first question is about whether there is love.
Qin Menghan smiled and said, "I definitely love my wife. We've been together for so many years, and things have always been pretty good. But at the beginning, I planned to give my parents some money for retirement. After all, they're from the countryside and don't have a very stable income, so it would be difficult for them to support themselves in their old age. I didn't want that to happen, so I transferred some money to them. I didn't expect to stir up such a hornet's nest. My wife accused me of transferring assets and even threatened to divorce me. And she actually believed me when I casually joked with my friend about writing him an IOU."
"In fact, how could I do that? We've been husband and wife for a long time. We decided to be together because of our feelings. I finally succeeded in starting my business, and she suffered so much with me. How could I just get a divorce? As long as she doesn't make any fundamental mistakes, I will definitely tolerate her."
[Qin Menghan's words were an implication, weren't they? I knew someone like Zhou Xiaoyu couldn't be kept. She must have been cheating on him and got caught by her husband. Qin Menghan should be widowed because of a woman like that.]
[The person upstairs is a potential criminal. Please call the police. The things he's instigating are extremely serious; he may have already harmed his wife. Please handle this matter seriously!]
[I've reported this; please handle it seriously!]
Many people were shocked by these people's remarks. The administrators couldn't keep up with the banning, and some netizens even called the police.
They dare to make those kinds of statements online, which is a public discussion area, and they are not afraid at all. Who can guarantee that they haven't put them into practice in real life?
As law-abiding citizens, we should bravely report such acts that harm society.
The live stream chat suddenly erupted into chaos because of Qin Menghan's words.
The live stream only ended when the administrators themselves announced that they had also called the police.
Many people who wanted to express those opinions were now afraid to speak out.
Who knew these women would take things so seriously? They call the police over just a few casual words. They never used to be like this.
Qin Menghan's high-sounding words failed to move Zhou Xiaoyu, let alone the viewers in the live stream.
Zhou Xiaoyu looked at Qin Menghan: "You say you love me, then I want to know how you show your love. I've been your servant for so many years. If we get divorced, how much property do you plan to give me? We're live right now, and I just want to know your answer. With netizens watching, I believe you won't lie, and I also believe you won't transfer assets like others do, leaving only a few dollars in your account. You definitely wouldn't do that, right? After all, you said we're a couple who have been through thick and thin together."
To the audience's surprise, Zhou Xiaoyu's opening remarks were quite aggressive.
Qin Menghan's expression instantly turned ugly.
He was well aware of the immense pressure from public scrutiny. If he were to give a precise figure that was not reached, it would be tantamount to openly handing Zhou Xiaoyu a weapon.
“You wouldn’t believe what I’m saying now, after all, promises can change in an instant. I just hope you can see my sincerity. Don’t worry, let’s go back and live a good life together. I will definitely not treat you badly. We’ve been married for so many years, don’t you still trust me? Don’t forget, when your family asked for a dowry of 288,000 yuan, I gave it to them without any hesitation.”
When he mentioned the bride price, Zhou Xiaoyu's face turned pale.
Qin Menghan suddenly felt confident of victory.
He continued to look at his wife with deep affection: "Back then, I was just a poor boy, penniless. Even though you didn't bring back the bride price, not a single penny, and it all went to your brother, and your dowry consisted of only a few quilts, I didn't say a word. I loved you so much. Didn't we say that love is where money is? I was willing to give you the money, and I didn't even try to get it back. Doesn't that prove my love?"
Zhou Xiaoyu's lips trembled, and she couldn't utter a single word.
Clearly, she hadn't expected that her husband would tear away her last veil of shame.
"Are you trying to get sympathy from others by bringing up the bride price now? Did I force you to marry me? Did I force you to give such a large bride price? Not a single penny of the bride price passed through my hands. It was all exchanged between you, my father, and my brother. Did I see a single cent?"
This incident was clearly a sore spot for Zhou Xiaoyu; she was trembling as she spoke and looked very pitiful.
Some viewers in the live stream were sympathizing with her.
[So I'm also particularly curious about what those families who sell their daughters are thinking. They pocket all the exorbitant dowry money and don't give a single penny of dowry. Don't they ever think about what kind of life their daughters will have in their husbands' families?]
[I've thought about it, which is why the term "selling daughters" exists. But I'm more curious about those women who marry into the family. Do they have the courage to file for divorce? After all, they know and tacitly accept this transactional transfer from their fathers to their husbands. If they suffer mistreatment, would they dare to divorce? Given the high dowry, even if the husband treats them badly in the short term, they can definitely get a portion back if they sue in court.]
[Many of them probably never even considered divorce. I feel they wouldn't have the courage. Moreover, in places where the bride price is higher, the men are less likely to find wives. They will definitely keep their wives safe, but they will also be eyeing that large sum of money and want to get corresponding benefits from their wives. From this perspective, the obstacles to their divorce are greater.]
It's so tough!
"This is the result of your family's negotiation. What does it have to do with me, wife? Getting angry with me now won't solve anything. I've given the bride price, and we're married. Even if we don't have children, I have no intention of cutting ties with you. You made me sell everything I own to marry you, and now you want to break your promise of marriage and ruin my reputation online. Wife, I really don't understand. Am I really that wicked?"
Qin Menghan couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe away his tears.
