Sun Mingliang burst into laughter. "Father-in-law, what do you mean by that? I'm lucky enough to like your daughter. Do you really want her to marry someone higher up? She's already married to me. Who would like her with a face as black as coal and pockmarked? I'm the only one who can accept her."
"Anyway, you can see for yourselves. If you don't want to marry her to me, then return the betrothal money to me. I don't want to get anything for nothing. Don't you even look at yourself? You're still being picky. You're not even as good as one of Tang Shiyan's fingers. How unlucky I am to meet someone like you?"
Tang Zhaozhao gnashed her teeth in anger and said, "Sun Mingliang, you bastard, you still despise me? Even I despise you. If you think Tang Shiyan is good, then go marry her and see if she will pay attention to you. You are really a toad wanting to eat swan meat."
"Let's not criticize each other, we're both pretty much the same. Look at you, you stink so badly that it could fill the entire street. I'm a little ugly, but I love to be clean. You've probably never showered or changed clothes in your life, no wonder your previous wives ran away."
"It makes me feel sick just thinking about it. I have a cigarette in my mouth every day, and my teeth are blackened and stink like coal. I probably never brush my teeth."
Tang Jianguo roared, "Tang Zhaozhao, stop talking and change your temper. You're going to spend your whole life with Sun Mingliang, how can you say such things?"
"Grandson-in-law! Please be kind and don't hold grudges against me. My granddaughter is young and naive, and her words may not be taken seriously. Please be patient and understanding. If she doesn't understand something after she gets married, please give her some pointers. I hope you will live a good life in the future."
Sun Mingliang: "If you want me to marry your granddaughter, that's fine. I've already given you 400 yuan as a betrothal gift. You should also give her 400 yuan as a dowry. It's not a lot of money, right? If you don't agree, I won't marry her."
Sun Mingliang thought that with Tang Zhaozhao being like this, he was not worth 400 yuan for the betrothal gift in vain. Now he was asking them for 400 yuan as a dowry, which was also like getting his 400 yuan betrothal gift back. Anyway, Tang Zhaozhao was his now, and they had to marry her whether they wanted to or not. Only he could marry her. No one else would even look at her, let alone marry her.
Tang Jianguo really had no other choice. His granddaughter had already done that with Sun Mingliang. If Sun Mingliang didn't marry her, no one else would be willing to marry her in the future. Then she would just have to stay at home and eat for free, making others laugh at her. He could only say reluctantly, "Okay, then I'll ask them to prepare 400 yuan for the dowry."
Zhou Guiying muttered to herself, isn't he asking for his 400 yuan betrothal gift? He clearly thinks her Tang Zhaozhao is worthless. It's all because that damn woman Feng Lihong is so ugly, and her daughter is even uglier than her. I can't even get the betrothal gift. I worked so hard to get 400 yuan, and now I have to give it away for nothing. What sin have I committed?
Zhou Guiying: "Sun Mingliang, what do you mean? We worked so hard to raise our granddaughter, and you ruined her like that. Now you have the nerve to ask us for 400 yuan as a dowry. You are clearly humiliating us. Besides, who would ask for dowry money from their parents' home?"
Sun Mingliang sneered and said, "Old lady Zhou, you must be getting old and confused. Which family doesn't give a dowry when marrying off their daughter? I don't ask for much, but I don't believe you can't come up with such a small dowry. Besides, didn't you take 400 yuan from me yesterday? Are you going to spend it all today?"
"It's great that I can marry your granddaughter. Your family is so lucky that I can marry your granddaughter. If it were someone else, who would be willing to marry her, someone who is dark, ugly, and has pockmarked faces? Don't waste your words on me. If you don't want to pay 400 yuan for the dowry, then you can raise your granddaughter yourself, but you must also return my 400 yuan betrothal gift to me."
"If you don't agree to marry me, I will of course take back my betrothal money. I won't give it to you for free. I'll give you 10 minutes to think about it carefully."
Tang Jianguo roared, "Old woman, you know what our granddaughter looks like. If this hadn't happened, no one would be willing to marry our granddaughter, not to mention that her innocence has been ruined. Since Sun Mingliang is willing to marry her, then she has no choice but to marry him. If he wants a dowry, then give it to him. Do you still want to support your granddaughter for the rest of her life?"
"Didn't you accept 400 yuan in betrothal money from Sun Mingliang yesterday? Just think of it as returning the 400 yuan to him, so that he won't come to trouble us again. I don't want to live a day without peace at my age."
How could Zhou Guiying willingly take out the money? She had to give it back to others just one night after earning it with great difficulty.
Tang Jianguo glared at Zhou Guiying fiercely. She walked into the room reluctantly, muttering, "What a greedy person! Isn't it obvious that he wants his 400 yuan back? He's not afraid that he won't see the sun tomorrow after using it."
Zhou Guiying walked into the room and opened the box under the bed. There was nothing inside. She thought she had put it in the wrong place, so she searched everywhere but found nothing. At this time, she yelled anxiously, "Ah..."
Tang Jianguo heard the noise and ran in quickly and asked, "Old woman, what are you doing? I asked you to take some money and you got so nervous. What happened?"
"Old man, the money I put there is gone. Was it stolen or taken away by rats?"
"Old woman, where did you put the money? Look carefully everywhere. Maybe you forgot where you put it? No one has ever been to our house, so how could someone steal it? Besides, it's impossible for a mouse to take the money away."
"I put it in the small box under the bed. I searched everywhere but couldn't find it. It's really weird. I wonder if Feng Lihong's money and bracelet are still there?"
Tang Jianguo: "Old woman, please wait here for a moment. I will quietly ask Feng Lihong to check if it is still there. If it is not there, it may have been stolen."
Tang Jianguo walked out of the room and winked at Feng Lihong, asking her to come over. Feng Lihong saw this and walked over and asked, "Dad, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
"All the money your mother put there is gone. Go to your room and see if the bracelets you put there are still there."
