Chapter 157 Praying for blessings, but what he lacks most is blessings

"What? What do you mean?"

Shen Cuiyu looked at Song Qinian with eyes full of resentment.

"Your father and I made an engagement with you and Chen Fangling in order to have the second daughter of the Chen family marry your brother. Now, you don't want to marry her! Do you think the Chen family will let it go?"

"So the Chen family wants these five hundred dollars?"

Song Qinian also responded.

Shen Cuiyu's eyes flickered slightly and she nodded stiffly.

"Yes! This is the betrothal gift that the Chen family wants! In the past, when the two families married each other, they could not ask for a betrothal gift. Now that you have called off the engagement, they are asking for 500 yuan! The wedding has already taken place, and the ceremony has been held. If we call it off, won't our Song family lose all face? We have no choice but to give this betrothal gift!"

The more Shen Cuiyu thought about it, the angrier she became. If Bai Wei hadn't shown up halfway, wouldn't Chen Fangling and Xiao Nianzi's marriage have been settled?

Now that the Song family has married into the village chief's family, won't they be able to rule the village without restraint?

Who dares to look down on them?

But now, the Chen family thinks that they are not good enough, so if they don’t pay the betrothal gift, they can take Chen Fangfang back!

"Five hundred yuan, even if the Chen family wants a dowry, isn't it too much?"

Song Qinian frowned.

He also knew that Chen Fangfang was indeed wronged by marrying his younger brother.

But the matter is done, the Chen family can ask for a dowry, but five hundred yuan is too much.

"What should I do? If it weren't for you, would your brother have become a fool? Why can't he find a wife until now? If you don't give this money, you are harming your brother!"

Shen Cuiyu poured out all her resentment on Song Qinian.

But back then, she was unwilling to spend the money and held it tightly in her hand, thinking that Song Qifu would be able to get through it as long as he could hold on for one more night.

I didn't expect it to burn my brain.

Song Qinian was young at the time and really thought that his family was poor, but he didn't realize that it was just that Shen Cuiyu was too stingy.

Thinking about his debt to Song Qifu, Song Qinian did not say anything.

It was he who decided to marry Bai Wei. If his younger brother was harmed because of him, he would not be able to get over it.

"Anyway, I'm telling you, if you don't get this money, your brother's life will be ruined! He won't be able to hold his head up in the village, and his wife might even be snatched away by someone else! Your father, your brother, and I, as a family, will all die."

At the end, Shen Cuiyu also sat on the bed and started crying.

Seeing how sad she was, Song Qinian took out all the honey walnuts from his pocket and stuffed them into Shen Cuiyu's hand.

"Mom, Weiwei said that we will give you an answer tomorrow in one night."

Song Qinian felt a little guilty, but he resisted the urge and agreed without a single breath.

The first is that he really doesn't have 500 yuan, so even if he wants to make up for it, he can only borrow money.

Second, this is indeed a big deal, and he needs to discuss it with Bai Wei.

Since they were already husband and wife, he still had to ask Bai Wei for her opinion on important matters.

"Can't you make your own decision? You are the head of the family."

Shen Cuiyu held Song Qinian's hand, thinking that it would be better if she could convince him directly.

Song Qinian still shook his head, "Mom, you should go to bed early. We will give you a clear answer tomorrow."

When he thought of his younger brother, Song Qinian felt heavy in his heart.

If he had not been so willful at the beginning, maybe his younger brother could be a soldier like him now, become a regiment commander, and have a bright future.

"Well, I'll give you one night, just one night."

Shen Cuiyu held the honey walnut tightly in her hand and ate it bite by bite.

She wiped away her previous sad look, and there was not a single tear in her eyes.

But Song Qinian was so immersed in his own emotions that he didn't notice this at all.

When Song Qinian returned home, Bai Wei was drawing a map in her notebook. She drew a map of the mountain road based on the route in her memory.

When Song Qinian entered the room, Bai Wei quickly covered the notebook.

"Song Qinian, you asked..."

Bai Wei raised his head and saw Song Qinian sitting in the chair in a daze, looking a little depressed.

The two have been together for such a long time, but Bai Wei has rarely seen Song Qinian like this.

There was a layer of snow on his military cap and on his body as well. He was obviously freezing, but he seemed to be unaware of it.

"Qinian, what's wrong?"

Looking at Song Qinian with his head down, his perfect profile filled with endless sadness, at this moment Bai Wei felt as if he was about to break apart.

His ears were frozen red, Bai Wei reached out and gently stroked his ears.

The warm feeling enveloped Song Qinian and brought him back to his senses. When he raised his head, he fell into Bai Wei's worried eyes.

"slight……"

"Yeah, I'm here."

Bai Wei also sensed that something was wrong with Song Qinian's mood, and her voice softened.

Song Qinian didn't say anything, but just slowly leaned his head towards Bai Wei's shoulder.

"You know what? I don't owe anyone anything in my life. There is only one person I owe and I will never be able to repay him in my lifetime."

"Who?"

Bai Wei asked softly, and Song Qinian said quietly.

"My brother, pray."

Song Qinian's nose felt a little sore when he thought of the name Song Qifu. This name was given by his father. He just wanted to pray that he would have blessings and peace in his life. However, he didn't expect that the thing he lacked the most in his life was blessings.
