So upon hearing this, Chen Shuning refused without hesitation: "No need. That money was an unexpected windfall anyway, and I have no use for it. Consider it my way of showing filial piety to my parents."
Besides, He Chaoyang earns quite a bit, and I can earn work points too, so I don't need to worry about those three or five hundred.
Qin Yalan was displeased upon hearing this. She glared at Chen Shuning and said, "You're so capable. You don't need to worry about three or five hundred yuan. That's almost a thousand yuan. You think you can just give it up like that? Do you think we, as your parents, would take advantage of you?"
Besides, did you discuss this with Chaoyang? You're just going to give up on it? You're making that decision on your own, considering it's so much money?"
Chen Shuning was a little confused about how to handle her premarital property and why she needed to discuss it with He Chaoyang.
Following the principle of asking questions when in doubt, Chen Shuning spoke up without thinking: "Why should I consult him about how I spend my own money?"
Chen Shuning truly doesn't understand the thinking of people from the 1960s.
Qin Yalan found Chen Shuning's naiveté both laughable and infuriating.
She sighed and said to Chen Shuning, "You're married now, you're not alone anymore."
Your money is no longer just yours; it is now joint property of you and your spouse.
Although this money was saved before your marriage, now that you're married to Chaoyang, you should consider his feelings and discuss it with him before spending it.
Chen Shuning felt that Qin Yalan's words were wrong. The money she earned after marriage was their joint property, but the money she earned before marriage was her personal property.
So Chen Shuning immediately retorted, "Mom, it's not that I'm unwilling to discuss it with Chaoyang, it's just that this is my premarital property, and I have the right to decide how to spend it."
Besides, it's not that I don't consider his feelings; I just think it's a small matter, nothing to make a fuss about. Can't I just consider the money as my filial offering to you as your daughter?
Seeing that Chen Shuning had not yet realized her mistake, Qin Yalan said to her earnestly, "Shuning, you need to know that marriage is not a simple thing. It requires the two of you to work together to manage and maintain it."
You need to respect, understand, and tolerate each other. You can't just think of yourself; you need to consider the other person's feelings. You need to know that you are a family now, and you need to have a sense of family and responsibility.
Chen Shuning was somewhat unconvinced after hearing Qin Yalan's words.
"Mom, I know you mean well, but don't you think your thinking is wrong? I only spent my own money, not Chaoyang's. How can you say I'm irresponsible?"
Qin Yalan became anxious when she saw that Chen Shuning still hadn't realized his mistake.
"Shuning, you need to know that although you haven't held a wedding ceremony yet, you've already registered your marriage, so you're husband and wife. Your money is shared, and your responsibilities are shared as well."
You can't just think of yourself; you need to consider the other person's feelings. You need to understand that you're a family now, and you need to have a sense of family and responsibility.
Chen Shuning grew impatient as Qin Yalan continued repeating the same things.
"Mom, I understand, I understand, please stop talking. I will discuss it with Chaoyang, and I will respect his opinion."
Qin Yalan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Chen Shuning had finally listened to her.
"That's good, that's good. Mom didn't mean to make things difficult for you, she just wanted you to understand that marriage is not a simple thing, it requires the two of you to work together to manage and maintain it."
You need to respect, understand, and tolerate each other. You must understand that you are now a family; you need to have a sense of family and responsibility.
Chen Shuning nodded after hearing Qin Yalan's words and said, "Mom, I understand, I understand, please don't say anymore. I will live a good life with Chaoyang, and I will be a good wife."
Qin Yalan smiled with relief when she saw that Chen Shuning finally understood her good intentions.
"That's good, that's good. Mom believes in you, and she believes in Chaoyang. You two will definitely be happy."
