Chapter 389: Compromise (Page 1/2)
Ling Fei felt very aggrieved, but she still managed a smile and said to Wu Xiuying, "Mom, when are you and Dad going to go to my uncle's house to propose marriage? My dowry is still at my uncle's house!"
Wu Xiuying sneered, "Isn't Minister Wang your father? If we were proposing marriage, we would definitely go to the Wang family. Why would we go to the Ye family?"
Wu Xiuying now knows that Ling Fei is Minister Wang’s illegitimate daughter. She thinks that since her son cannot get a divorce for the time being, she should first establish a good relationship with the Wang family.
In this way, maybe Minister Wang could promote her son in the future.
Her son married his disabled daughter, so Minister Wang should at least show some appreciation, right?
Ling Fei was surprised and asked, "Mom, are you going to the Wang family to propose marriage? My grandfather is in the hospital for recuperation and won't be home for at least the next few months. My dad is also very busy and has no time to take care of my marriage."
Her father gave her 1,500 yuan for donating a kidney and promised that he would not give her any more money after they got married. If the Yu family gave the betrothal money to the Wang family, it would be like throwing meat buns at a dog, and it would never come back.
She planned to let the Yu family give the betrothal money to her uncle, and then she would take out a portion of it to pay for her grandfather's medical treatment.
Wu Xiuying looked at Ling Fei with disdain. It seemed that Minister Wang didn't care about the life or death of her illegitimate daughter at all. So could the betrothal money be saved?
Wu Xiuying looked at Ling Fei with a smile and said, "Ling Fei, since your father can't spare the time, we can discuss the betrothal gift later.
Your most important task right now is to take good care of your health. As for your dowry, you can move it home after you've paid the bride price."
Wu Xiuying knew that Ling Fei had a dowry, and she had no intention of letting her stay with her son forever, so naturally she didn't want her to bring the dowry over, otherwise she would have to move out in the future.
Moving around makes people laugh at her, it would be better to have nothing in the beginning. She came to Yu's house empty-handed, so she will leave empty-handed.
Ling Fei didn't know what Yu Hua's mother was thinking. She looked at her eagerly, her eyes full of earnestness, and pleaded softly, "Mom, why don't you go to my uncle's house in person and ask for marriage. You two can sit down and discuss the betrothal gift."
When she married Huo Qingyan before, it was the Ling family who collected the betrothal money. Now that she knew that Ling Zhigao was her uncle, she naturally didn't want the Yu family to go to the Ling family to give the betrothal gift.
I don't want them to give a betrothal gift to the Wang family, so I can only let them negotiate the betrothal gift money with my uncle.
She had previously donated a kidney to her grandfather on her own initiative, which had upset her uncle. Now she urgently needed to come up with some money to appease her uncle's anger.
Otherwise, if she encounters any problems that she cannot solve in the future, her uncle may not lend a helping hand to her.
Now my grandfather has suffered a stroke and can no longer take care of things. Although my grandmother is willing, she is powerless. The only people she can rely on now are my uncle and aunt.
If even they no longer care about her, then she will truly become an orphan.
Her biological mother never cared about her after she got married, and her biological father only used her. In his eyes, she was not as important as his granddaughter.
Wu Xiuying asked Ling Fei, "How much do you, the Ye family, plan to ask for in betrothal gifts?"
Ling Fei spoke frankly: "Mom, before I married into the Huo family, my former parents-in-law gave me two 500 yuan, 500 yuan to my parents' home, and 500 yuan to me.
Huo Qingyan also bought me a watch, several sets of clothes, shoes, and fabrics. He also bought a new set of furniture, including a leather sofa…”
When Yu Hua heard Ling Fei talking about her ex-husband, his face became more and more gloomy. He was a small clerk working in an office, and his monthly salary was only a few dozen yuan. Ling Fei's ex-husbands were both pilots, and each of them earned at least a hundred yuan.

Adding in various subsidies and benefits, her treatment is so much better than his. Is she doing this deliberately to embarrass him?
"Ling Fei, my salary isn't high, and my parents don't have much savings either. We can't possibly give you a thousand yuan as a betrothal gift. Most people around us only give two or three hundred yuan as betrothal gifts..."
Wu Xiuying echoed: "You're already getting married for the second time, and you still have the nerve to ask for a thousand yuan in betrothal gifts..."
Ling Fei was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood, but she was too embarrassed to refute that she was not getting married for the second time.
"Yu Hua, I already have a watch and a sewing machine. Can you buy me a bicycle? I won't give you two betrothal gifts. Just give my uncle 500 yuan! You can buy the furniture for the house as you see fit..."
Wu Xiuying felt that Ling Fei had a mental problem. The Huo family treated her so well, yet she was willing to divorce him.
When the Huo family gave two 500 yuan bonuses, one was definitely the betrothal money for Ling Fei's family, and the other was definitely a red envelope for Ling Fei.
A second-hand guy, he doesn't even have a kidney, and he has the nerve to ask them for a 500 yuan betrothal gift and even wants them to buy a bicycle.
"Ling Fei, you shouldn't be the one to negotiate the betrothal gift. The girls in our compound didn't ask for much for their first marriage, and you asked for 500 yuan and a bicycle.
What did you prepare for my son? A watch or a bicycle? I heard that your ex-husband left you everything he had, and you donated a kidney and got a large compensation. You are so rich, why do you still care about the few hundred yuan betrothal gift money?
Aren't a few hundred yuan a lot of money? Why can't she care? She now knows that people's hearts can change, only money cannot change, and money can buy anything.
Didn't her father spend a lot of money to buy her a kidney? Yeah, why wouldn't she spend a few hundred yuan to buy a kidney too?
It's just that this kidney source is very difficult to find, at least the blood type has to be the same as hers. When she had a heavy bleeding during induced labor, it seemed that it was Brother Huo Qingyan who found the blood source for her.
"Mom, you know I only have one kidney now, so of course I want to have some money. I need money to see a doctor.
If one day my kidneys have problems, I would also like to find someone to donate a kidney to me. People who donate kidneys must be compensated.
Yu Zhenxing, who had been silent the whole time, frowned as he looked at Ling Fei. He couldn't help but wonder, "Is Ling Fei crazy? She didn't want to give away her own healthy kidney and donated it for money."
Now, I start to regret it again and want to spend money to buy a kidney. Isn’t this seeking death?
He really couldn't understand why his son was so stupid as to bring back such a woman.
Yu Zhenxing couldn't help but say, "Comrade Ling Fei, although you and my son have obtained a marriage certificate, you haven't obtained the consent of Yu Hua's mother and me, so we will not go to the Ye family to propose marriage."
Ling Fei's face turned pale upon hearing this, and she asked in a trembling voice, "Dad, you...what do you mean by that? Are you saying you want me to divorce Yu Hua?"
Yu Zhenxing raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile, and asked in return: "If I ask you to divorce, will you divorce?"
Ever since learning that Ling Fei had secretly donated her kidney, Yu Hua has been in a dilemma.
On the one hand, he was angry and disappointed with Ling Fei's behavior; on the other hand, he was worried that if he took the initiative to file for divorce, he would be criticized by his superiors and it would affect his work.
Ling Fei shook her head repeatedly and answered without hesitation: "No, I don't want a divorce. We can discuss the betrothal gift later, or we can give it to her once we have saved enough money!"
She knew very well that if she divorced again, her reputation would be completely ruined and she would probably never find a suitable person to marry, not to mention that she had already lost a kidney.
