"He really followed that country bumpkin, and now he's lost all sense of propriety and shame."
Upon hearing this, Su Xinyi merely glanced at Min Yuehua before heading towards the living room on her own.
She happened to see Su Ze sprawled out on the sofa, and without saying a word, she picked up a pillow next to the sofa and threw it at him.
Snap!
It was thrown directly at Su Ze's face.
Su Ze, who was already drunk, just scratched his face and didn't sober up.
Seeing this, Min Yuehua angrily pointed at Su Xinyi and said, "Su Xinyi, what's wrong with you? First you pushed me, and now you're going to hit your brother. Are you trying to rebel?"
The noise in the living room woke up Su Qingwen and Su Xinwan, who were still asleep.
When the father and daughter came out and saw Su Xinyi, they both widened their eyes and rubbed their eyes in disbelief.
Only after confirming that he hadn't misread it did he step forward and ask:
"Xinyi, what brings you here?"
"sister."
Su Xinyi simply nodded slightly and said to Min Yuehua, "I came here today to ask what exactly the several thousand yuan that Su Ze stole from me is?"
"If we're talking about borrowing, now that Su Ze is making money, shouldn't he pay it back?"
These words were like a bomb dropped into the sea, creating huge waves.
Min Yuehua, Su Qingwen, and Su Xinwan were all stunned, not only by Su Xinyi's words, but even more so by Su Xinyi's indifferent expression.
Even Aunt Li behind them was startled, especially by the amount of several thousand yuan.
Just kidding, if she only had a few thousand yuan, she wouldn't need to be a nanny. It's unbelievable that such a young girl like Su Xinyi has so much money. Could it be Ye Beiping's?
But Ye Beiping was just a country boy, dressed plainly, and didn't look like someone who had several thousand yuan at all.
These are the very questions that have driven Aunt Li's head to the brink of despair, yet she still can't figure them out.
Min Yuehua realized what was happening and her fingers trembled with anger as she said, "Wasn't it agreed that it was a bride price? Where in the world is there a bride price that needs to be returned?"
“Okay.” Su Xinyi had already thought of a way to deal with this last night. She plopped down on the sofa and said, “Since it’s a bride price, and Beiping and I have already registered our marriage and gotten married in Pingba Village, then Mom, where’s your return gift?”
These words left Min Yuehua speechless.
The standard procedure for marriage is that the groom gives betrothal gifts, and the bride gives return gifts.
If this money is considered Ye Beiping's betrothal gift, then Min Yuehua and Su Qingwen, as parents, are obligated to reciprocate with a gift.
It's obvious that according to the old rules, Min Yuehua is not following the rules.
In today's terms, Min Yuehua's actions were tantamount to selling her daughter.
"I...I..." Min Yuehua stammered for a long time, not knowing what to say.
Su Xinyi's lips curled slightly, and her beautiful peach blossom eyes glanced at Min Yuehua. She smiled and said, "Mom, you can't possibly be selling your daughter, can you? If the neighbors and your colleagues at work find out about this, you're so concerned about your reputation, I'm sure you wouldn't want to see that happen, would you?"
threaten!
A blatant threat.
Min Yuehua, who always cared about her reputation, would never allow herself to be gossiped about, or even be accused of selling her daughter.
Even if I can withstand the pressure, what will my superiors think of me?
Even if they can't fire you, don't expect to be given a more important role in the future.
Never before had she been threatened like this. Min Yuehua never expected to be threatened by her own daughter, and her chest heaved with anger.
After a long pause, he finally managed to say, "So what do you want?"
“Simple.” Su Xinyi’s expression was calm, and her words were equally composed: “Putting aside the reason why I went to the countryside, just considering that Su Ze stole at least three thousand yuan from me, I don’t expect you and Dad to return the money in full.”
Hearing this, Su Qingwen and Min Yuehua both breathed a sigh of relief.
I sold almost the entire house for a little over three thousand yuan.
But the couple was still shocked the next second, because the return gift Su Xinyi proposed was not a small amount: "One-third of the total, a TV, a washing machine, a bicycle, and a radio, all of which should be the best set."
hiss!
The cheapest TV costs four or five hundred, while the more expensive ones cost seven or eight hundred.
Washing machines cost three or four hundred, and some are even five or six hundred.
The bicycle cost a little over a hundred yuan, plus a radio that cost a few dozen yuan, totaling a little over a thousand yuan.
Min Yuehua almost fainted while holding her forehead.
On the contrary, Su Qingwen behind him nodded slightly in agreement.
As a cultured person, it's normal for him to accept a dowry of over three thousand yuan, and to return a third of it as a gift. His eldest daughter had no intention of taking advantage of her family.
From any perspective, Su Xinyi's request is not excessive.
