When Shen Chuning was going home, he happened to see Shen Zhengliang coming out of the educated youth center with a worried look on his face.
Shen Chu Ning simply stood at the gate of his yard and waited for a while.
Shen Zhengliang had already walked in front of her, but he still hadn't seen her.
She simply called out, "Second brother."
Shen Zhengliang came back to his senses instantly, "Ningning, you're back?"
Shen Chuning didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point, asking, "Didn't you talk to Wang Zhiqing?"
Shen Zhengliang frowned, sighed, and looked at Shen Chuning with some hesitation.
Shen Chu Ning immediately understood that he was still planning to take her jade pendant!
While the second brother was still hesitating, Shen Chuning frowned and said anxiously: "She doesn't like three turns and one ring? What if I add another 500 yuan?"
After Shen Chuning finished speaking, he didn't wait for Shen Zhengliang to speak, gritted his teeth, and looked determined, "Second brother, go talk to Wang Zhiqing again, our family will give a betrothal gift of three turns and one ring plus 800 yuan."
Shen Zhengliang was shocked when he heard this number.
Three turns and one ring would cost about six hundred yuan, plus eight hundred yuan, which makes a total of one thousand four hundred yuan.
Not to mention in the countryside, even in the city, no one would spend such a huge sum of money to marry a wife.
"Second brother, you don't have to worry about the money. Before Brother Yubai returned to the team, he gave me all his savings. I'll pay you first."
Shen Zhengliang also felt that the betrothal gift his sister mentioned was generous enough.
In their village, the general gift for marrying a wife is 50 yuan, and a total of 100 yuan is enough to hold a decent wedding.
What's more, his sister was willing to use her brother-in-law's savings to pay for the bride price. It would be a lie for him to say he wasn't grateful.
"Okay, then I'll go talk to Yu Meng again."
When Shen Zhengliang turned around, he saw Wang Yumeng standing behind him with an angry and aggrieved look on her face.
"Yu Meng..."
He had just opened his mouth when Wang Yumeng angrily interrupted him, "Comrade Shen, what do you mean? Do you think I'm the kind of woman who values material things, is greedy for pleasure, and will marry whoever gives the most betrothal gifts?"
"I've already said it, I don't care about material things, I don't want a dowry, I just want your family to recognize me, wuwuwu..."
Wang Yumeng seemed to get angrier and angrier as she spoke, and finally she started crying out of anger.
Seeing her crying, Shen Zhengliang was at a loss for words for a moment, "Mengmeng, that's not what I meant..."
Shen Chuning: …
She sighed and asked Wang Yumeng, "Wang Zhiqing, since you have already discussed marriage with my second brother, our family has also shown the utmost sincerity.
Don't you think about my second brother? Why do you have to take the jade pendant left by my mother and make things difficult for my second brother? ”
As Chen Chuning spoke, her eyes also turned red, tears accumulated in her eyes, and she questioned Wang Yumeng, "I haven't seen my mother since I was a child. That's the only thing my mother left me. As my future second sister-in-law, you are thinking about snatching my things before you even enter the door. Do you think this is appropriate?"
As Shen Chuning spoke, he kept wiping away tears.
Although she didn't cry out loud like Wang Yumeng, her heartbroken look while she tried hard to control herself from crying, yet couldn't hold back the tears, made people feel even more distressed.
"Ningning..." Shen Zhengliang looked at Wang Yumeng and then at Shen Chuning, and for a moment he didn't know which one to appease.
Wang Yumeng rolled her eyes and said angrily, "Okay, Comrade Wang Zhengliang, since my request has put your family in such a difficult position, then we will look for someone else."
As Wang Yumeng said this, she wiped her tears and ran to the educated youth point.
“Yu Meng…” Shen Zhengliang hurriedly chased after her.
Shen Chu Ning also shook his head when looking at this scene. What should he do with his second brother who is in love?
She felt that her second brother's attitude towards Wang Yumeng was a bit like his attitude towards Chen Ziyun before she had the dream.
I don't even know what I like about the other person, but I'm already trapped and unable to extricate myself.
She had to think of a way to make her second brother wake up completely.
I saw my second brother following Wang Yumeng into the educated youth site.
She didn't go into the house, but sat down on the threshold of the courtyard gate, waiting for her second brother to come back.
After a while, Shen Zhengliang came back dejectedly.
Seeing Shen Chuning still sitting on the doorstep with tears in her eyes, waiting for him like a wronged puppy, he felt distressed and helpless at the same time.
Shen Chuning sniffed aggrievedly, and asked Shen Zhengliang in a muffled voice, "Second brother, you were turned away again?"
The tip of Shen Zhengliang's nose was still red, obviously hit by Wang Yumeng when she closed the door.
Shen Zhengliang said nothing.
Shen Chu Ning's eyes became even redder, and tears rolled down her cheeks, "Second brother, do you like her that much?
Can't you find someone else you like? I even suspected that she was targeting me on purpose. Why did she refuse the three-turn and one-ring gift and several hundred yuan in betrothal gifts, but insisted on snatching the jade pendant left by my mother from me..."
As Shen Chu Ning spoke, she also began to cry silently, wiping away her tears.
Shen Zhengliang and Shen Chuning sat down on the threshold together.
Gently and patiently wiped Shen Chuning's tears, and said helplessly: "Little sister, I don't want to..."
Chen Zhengliang scratched his hair in annoyance and pain, "I don't know why, I just like her and want to give her everything. I have tried before, I stopped thinking about her and stopped seeing her.
If I can’t see her, I feel like my life has no meaning…”
In the few days when he just came back from the hospital, he did feel that the jade pendant that Wang Yumeng asked their mother to leave for Shen Chuning was not appropriate.
He felt that since he couldn't convince Wang Yumeng, he could at least break up with them while their relationship was still fresh.
