"Five thousand!" Shen Zhilan glanced at her useless mother, turned around and said to Su Changjiang and Zhang Fengxia who were sitting in the main seat.

"Five thousand?!" Zhang Fengxia was shocked, "Shen Zhilan, you are probably still asleep, right?!"

Even if you are a lion, you have to know your limit! Five thousand!! Not to mention that her family doesn’t have five thousand, even if they did…

Which family can give a dowry of 5,000 yuan for marrying a daughter-in-law?

Wang Lianhua was also shocked.

"Zhilan, did you say something wrong?"

She intuitively felt that Shen Zhilan had said five hundred instead of five thousand.

"It's five thousand. I'm not wrong."

Shen Zhilan curled her lips slightly.

"Everyone knows that my third sister has had a bad health since she was young. She gets sick every three days and has a disaster every five days. If it weren't for my mother's careful care, how could she have grown up?"

"Besides, my third sister can earn several hundred yuan a month by writing articles, which means several thousand yuan a year, and tens of thousands in ten years. If she marries into the Su family, then all the money she earns in the future will belong to the Su family, right? Is it too much for my mother to ask for a betrothal gift of 5,000 yuan?"

If her mother hadn't been supporting the short-lived ghost to study, would the short-lived ghost be able to read and write? Could he write articles to make money? Thinking of this, Shen Zhilan was filled with resentment.

If she had been able to read and write when she was a child, she wouldn't have had to work in a production workshop to earn a few dollars.

Zhang Fengxia frowned and looked at Li Qiuhua, "Mother-in-law, is this your idea or your second daughter's?"

Li Qiuhua was too guilty to look at Zhang Fengxia, "I..."

"This is what everyone in the Shen family thinks." Shen Zhilan spoke first, worried that her mother would change her mind at the last minute.

"Does Zhihuan know about this?" Su Changjiang asked calmly.

Li Qiuhua's eyes flickered, and he felt more and more guilty.

Shen Zhilan frowned, "The bride price is the business of the two elders..."

"You also know that the bride price is the business of the two elders, so what are you doing here? Or are you the elder and head of the Shen family?" Su Changjiang said calmly.

Shen Zhilan was choked and couldn't speak.

Su Changjiang's attitude made Li Qiuhua's heart rise to her throat.

"Since the betrothal gift is a matter for the elders of the two families, then let the elders of the old Shen family, the head of the old Shen family, discuss it."

Five thousand...

How dare you speak up! Shen Zhilan was anxious, "My mother raised my third sister, why can't she make the decision? I'm going to make this clear today, the betrothal gift is 5,000 yuan, if you give it, we'll have the wedding banquet tomorrow, if you don't..."

"If I don't give it to you, what do you want?" Shen Zhihuan walked into the main room with a smile on his face.

If I hadn't been quick in buying things, I would have almost missed this great show.

Li Qiuhua's expression changed immediately.

Shen Zhihuan lingered between the two of them for a moment, a playful smile flashing in his eyes.

Li Qiuhua lowered her head and twisted her fingers, not daring to look into Shen Zhihuan's eyes at all.

"Shen Zhilan, do you know what it means that a married woman is like spilled water? You are a person who can't even have a say in the old Yang family, why do you come to the old Su family to act like a big shot? Do you have any say here?"

"Short... Shen Zhihuan, my mother and I are doing this for your own good. If you enter the Su family without knowing the reason, who will take you seriously in the future?" Shen Zhilan stood up.

"Is it better for my own good or for your empty wallet?!" Shen Zhihuan sneered.

"Shen Zhihuan, how can you talk like that? If it weren't for the fact that we are sisters from the same mother, do you think I would care about your trivial matters?!" Shen Zhilan frowned, looking like her kindness was taken for granted.

"If you really want to do good for me, then you should give me 10,000 or 8,000 yuan to ensure that I can have no worries about food and clothing after I get married."

"I'm giving you 10,000 or 8,000. Are you mistaken?"

Ten thousand, eight thousand...

How she said it.

Su Ziyu pursed his lips and looked at Shen Zhihuan with an obvious smile.

Su Changjiang and Zhang Fengxia, who were sitting at the main seat, were also trying hard to hold back their laughter.

"How could I be wrong! Didn't you say you were doing this for my own good? If you really want to do this for my own good, then take some actual action instead of just talking." Shen Zhihuan crossed his arms over his chest, his voice casual and relaxed.

Some people try to deceive others and make big promises.

This guy doesn't even paint a picture, he just talks big.

"Shen Zhihuan, you earn hundreds of dollars a month, and I only earn a few? How dare you ask me for money?" Shen Zhilan was furious.

"You've been in the capital for so long, not only have you not visited your father and grandfather, you even didn't visit your mother, and you didn't give her a penny of the money you earned. Your mother still treats you like her treasure, but have you forgotten who took care of you when you were little, and who bought and boiled medicine for you?"

"Whenever there's something delicious at home, it always goes into your mouth. Mother saves all her food for you, but what about you? Now that you've grown up and can make money, instead of honoring your mother, you even team up with outsiders to plot against your own mother."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Are you worthy of your mother's kindness in raising you?"

Shen Zhihuan listened to Shen Zhilan's long speech with a calm expression, without a trace of emotion in his eyes.

Li Qiuhua, who was standing by, burst into tears and looked extremely aggrieved.

"Shen Zhilan, are you done?" Shen Zhihuan asked in a low voice.

"Shen Zhihuan, have you grown up or not?" Seeing that Shen Zhihuan didn't show any guilt at all, Shen Zhilan was so angry that she almost jumped up.

"No!" Shen Zhihuan answered very decisively.

"So, don't talk to me about feelings in the future."

It’s too expensive! “Shen Zhihuan…” Shen Zhilan gritted her teeth.

"Shen Zhilan, let me tell you, I have plenty of money, but I just won't give it to you. Don't even think about getting money from me. I won't give you a penny even if I throw my money into the river." Shen Zhihuan raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Also... this betrothal gift is mine. No one else can take it. I'm making this clear today. It doesn't matter if my betrothal gift is a lot or a little, it has to go into my pocket."

Shen Zhilan was so angry at these words that she trembled all over.

"Shen Zhihuan, do you still have any shame? When a family marries off their daughter, the betrothal gift is given to the parents." Shen Zhilan cursed.

Shen Zhihuan didn't look at her, but turned to Su Ziyu and held out his hand, "My betrothal gift."

Don't they want a betrothal gift? Then she will accept the betrothal gift now.

Zhang Fengxia trotted back to the inner room, and after a moment, she took out a big red envelope. Judging from its thickness and width, there were at least a hundred big unity notes.

Su Ziyu took the photo and handed it to Shen Zhihuan.

"Wife, take my betrothal gift and you will be mine from now on."

Shen Zhihuan rolled his eyes at him and stuffed the red envelope back into Zhang Fengxia's hand.

"Mom, this is a gift from Ziyu and I to you."

"How can this be possible? No! No!" Zhang Fengxia refused.

There is no reason to take back the betrothal gift once it has been given.

"This is my money. I can give it to whoever I want. There's nothing wrong with it." Shen Zhihuan stuffed it back into Zhang Fengxia's hands.

What could be more heartbreaking than forcing someone else to take away their much-cherished unity right in front of them?
