Chapter 141: Not Getting Married (Page 1/2)
Huo Qingyan looked at Bai Shanshan's hesitation and understood a little bit in his heart.
He is not a stingy person. If his wife's family really encounters difficulties and needs help, he will definitely stand up and lend a helping hand without hesitation.
However, he also knew that there was a type of woman in the world who had no bottom line at all, whose hearts and eyes were filled with only her family, and who wanted to move all the good things back to her family.
Even though this behavior may have a negative impact on their husbands and children, they don't care at all.
Take the mechanic he knew, for example. He married a woman from the country.
But who would have thought that this woman was only thinking about her husband's salary all day long. What's more, when the New Year was coming to an end, her husband used his hard-earned money to buy some new clothes for the children for the New Year.
However, in order to support her parents' family, she gave these new clothes to her brother's children!
When he was discovered, he said that his brother's children never wore new clothes during the Chinese New Year, and his own children would have plenty of opportunities to wear new clothes in the future.
Huo Qingyan really didn't want to see his future children living this kind of life.
In addition, he gradually realized that there seemed to be something wrong with Bai Shanshan. She always liked to gossip in front of him and claimed that the female comrades in the art troupe looked down on her.
Is there really another hidden story behind these things?
At this moment, Bai Yuxin saw his sister's face flushed from being forced, and his emotions instantly exploded. He roared in anger: "Mr. Huo, what do you mean by this! Are you not really here to propose marriage? How dare you question my sister so aggressively!
After you two get married, the family money should be handed over to my sister. As for how she uses the money, it is entirely her personal freedom.
He is still waiting for his sister's betrothal money to buy a job. Huo Qingyan is so stingy, he will definitely persuade his sister to take the betrothal money back as a dowry, right?
Seeing this, Bai Hualin quickly reached out to cover Bai Yuxin's mouth and scolded him, "Stinky boy, stop talking nonsense!"
Huo Qingyan had never expected that Bai Shanshan's family would treat him this way before things even got to that point. If he really married the Bai family's daughter in the future, would he still have to obey their orders in everything?
So, he suppressed his dissatisfaction and said in a calm tone, "I'm just asking about Shanshan's plans for married life. In that case, let's discuss the proposal another day!"
When Bai Shanshan heard Huo Qingyan say this, she grabbed his hand and said, "Ayan, what are you planning to do? The betrothal gift has been agreed upon. Don't you want to marry me anymore?"
Huo Qingyan said, "My eldest brother's wedding gift was 500 yuan, and your family asked for 880 yuan. I think those people in the cotton mill only ask for 100 or 200 yuan as the bride price when marrying a wife, right?
It's a special period now, and no one is holding banquets for weddings or funerals. Yet, you come to my house and there are ten tables, and you ask for a pig and a sheep right away.
Have you ever thought about my identity and whether it is suitable for a big wedding banquet?
There are also bicycles, sewing machines, watches and other things. If the family needs them in the future, I will buy them slowly and naturally. I don’t have to wait until I get married to buy them all.
I've finally figured it out. Your family asked me to prepare these gifts, so you're not going to keep them all and take nothing back with you, are you?"
Bai Shanshan looked at her parents and brother and sister-in-law, all of whom were filled with anticipation. She took a deep breath and said calmly, "Even if we take the sewing machine back, no one will know how to use it. But my sister is a seamstress, so she can put it to use."

As for this watch, it was bought specifically for me, so of course I have to take it back! Besides, you don’t really need a bicycle to go out.”
Huo Qingyan looked at Bai Shanshan with a half-smile, "Since I don't need a bicycle for travel, why should I buy one?"
Bai Lingling suddenly interrupted, "Brother-in-law, you bought a bicycle to make yourself look good. Everyone knows that our Bai family chooses a generous son-in-law."
Huo Qingyan sneered. The Bai family was so arrogant. Fortunately, he had seen the true faces of the Bai family in advance. It seemed that Bai Shanshan was not someone he could marry.
If he married her, he was afraid that his house would be emptied out, and then the Bai family would come to suck not only his blood, but also the blood of his parents.
It would definitely be inappropriate to just leave now. He had to think of a way to make the Bai family unhappy with this marriage.
"I'm buying a watch for Shanshan. Are you from the Bai family planning to buy me a watch?
Bai Shanshan said without thinking: "How can that be possible? My father and brother don't have watches..."
Bai Yufei clenched his fists in anger when he heard this, thinking that he and his brother didn't even have a watch. How could his parents buy a watch for Huo Qingyan?
At this time, Huo Qingyan also looked up at the Bai family, and then looked at Bai Shanshan, "Oh, in that case, our family doesn't need to prepare for the three turns and one ring, and we won't buy pigs or sheep. The betrothal gift is 500 yuan. If your family doesn't want..."
Deng Qiuyan said, "You promised me a betrothal gift of 660 yuan, plus pigs and sheep. How could you go back on your word? You won't even buy my daughter a watch, let alone a bicycle or a sewing machine. How can you still want to marry my daughter?"
Huo Qingyan looked at Bai Shanshan. They had been dating for only a few months, but he had already spent at least two hundred yuan on her. Every time he invited her out for dinner, it was either Peking duck or Lao Mo's, and after dinner they would go shopping in the department store.
I bought her a lot of things, such as woolen coats, corduroy pants, leather shoes, scarves, skin care products and cosmetics, candies, biscuits, canned fruits... Including today's four-color gift, I spent at least two hundred yuan.
Since he was planning to get married, he didn't care about the expenses and just spent the money.
But looking at the expressions of Bai Shanshan's family, he knew that this family was a bottomless pit. He would have to spend several thousand yuan to get married. When Bai Shanshan really gave birth to a child for him, the Bai family would definitely ask them for money in various ways.
He couldn't marry such a wife. Although he had been dating Bai Shanshan for several months, they only had a little affection for each other at most, and it was not to the point of loving her to death and not wanting to marry anyone else.
Fortunately, there is still time for everything. It is not too late to wake up now. I will ask the political commissar to get the marriage report back when I go back.
Huo Qingyan suddenly stood up and said, "Since you don't want me to marry Bai Shanshan, then I won't marry her. You can let someone else marry her."
Hearing Huo Qingyan's refusal, Bai Shanshan's face turned pale. "Huo Qingyan, what do you mean? You've been dating me for a few months, and suddenly you say you don't want to marry me. What do you want to do? Who do you want to marry?"
"Don't worry about who I want to marry. Let's break up!"
Huo Junshan and Xiao Ya had wanted to leave for a long time. Seeing that their son had thought it through, they breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they did not bring any betrothal money with them today, otherwise their son might really go to Bai Shanshan.
