He Zhaodi was sitting not far away mending clothes. Hearing Zhou Qian's words, she was clearly shocked as well.
When she married Yi Kuan, she only received twenty yuan as a bride price.
She didn't even dare to dream of a dowry of two hundred yuan.
She subtly nudged the person next to her, "Jingjing, have you heard about the Li family?"
Su Jingjing turned her head to the side and said firmly, "No."
She was also wondering, didn't Jinju and Wang Hui have an affair?
How did you get involved with Li Haoxuan?
While sewing, He Zhaodi muttered, "The Jin family is demanding such a high dowry, and the Li family is unwilling to compromise. The two families are almost becoming enemies."
A few days later, the Li family agreed because people from the military talked to them.
It is said that there was no wedding ceremony; they went straight to getting their marriage certificate and moving in.
The Jin family didn't care, as long as the bride price was right.
Jinju felt a little uncomfortable, but to avoid any unforeseen complications, she had no choice but to agree.
Having somehow gotten wind of the news, Wang Hui rushed to the hospital, seething with rage.
Jinju looked up and saw the lingering ghost, which frightened her so much that her face turned pale.
Her colleague nudged her arm. "Jinju, who is he?"
Her eyes were full of gossip. "Could it be your lover?"
Jinju's face immediately darkened. "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm getting married soon."
Jinju's colleague was stunned by her reaction and didn't come to her senses until the two of them walked out of the hospital.
She was just joking, why take it so seriously?
Jinju pulled Wang Hui to a corner and whispered, "What are you doing here?"
Wang Hui, abandoning his usual good temper, asked sarcastically, "I'm asking you, are you going to marry someone else?"
He was furious. This woman had slept with him and was now going to marry someone else.
Jinju's arrogance vanished instantly, and she cursed inwardly, wondering which bastard had leaked the information to her.
I finally married Haoxuan, so I absolutely can't let anything go wrong.
Judging from Wang Hui's tone, he probably doesn't know about her pregnancy yet.
The next second she covered her face and cried, "Wang Hui, I have my reasons."
Seeing that the man was unmoved, she continued, "My brother has found a girl, and she wants a dowry of two hundred yuan, as well as three turns and a radio."
"You know my parents favor sons over daughters, so they can only marry me off to the Li family in exchange for a bride price."
She carefully took his hand and said, "But you're the only one in my heart."
Wang Hui's brows were so furrowed that they could trap a fly.
He couldn't come up with two hundred yuan either.
Jinju made empty promises, saying, "Don't be angry, okay? For our happiness, I'll find a chance to get a divorce later."
Wang Hui's anger gradually subsided.
"Then you can't let him touch you."
Jinju nodded, feigning shyness.
A few days later, Li Haoxuan and Jin Ju hurriedly went to get their marriage certificate, officially becoming a member of the Li family.
Today, Zheng Yilan sat at home leisurely, waiting for Jinju to bring back all the betrothal gifts.
But when she saw that Jinju had only brought two simple bundles, she immediately cried out in shock, "Where are the betrothal gifts?"
Jinju felt a little scared when facing her angry mother-in-law.
"My mom said that after raising me for so long, it's time to give back, so she..."
"Bullshit! That old hag is selling her daughter. She's shameless and has no sense of shame."
Zheng Yilan used the most vicious language in the world to curse the Jin family.
Li Haoxuan looked annoyed and tugged at his collar. "Alright, it's not a big deal. There's no need to shout so loudly."
He's become quite famous in the compound lately, and people point and whisper about him whenever he goes out.
He threw down what he was holding, turned around and left, saying, "I'm going out for a bit, don't wait for me to eat."
"Hey, Haoxuan, where are you going?"
"Haoxuan".
Jinju really wanted to say that this was their wedding night and he should remember to come back that night.
"Oh dear, old man, I'm dizzy. Help me inside to lie down for a bit."
Zheng Yilan felt dizzy and disoriented. Her son was disobedient and had married such a thing.
"You know where my brother's room is, so go in yourself."
After Li Aiqin finished speaking, she turned and went into her room.
Jinju stood alone at the door. She knew that no one in the Li family cared about her, but Keqin shouldn't treat her like that, after all, they were still good sisters.

That day, after sending the children to school, Su Jingjing returned home and buried herself in her studies.
She only realized she had been sitting for three hours when her neck started to ache.
I got up to stretch my muscles and then started washing the rice and cooking.
I had just finished washing the rice when I heard the door open.
Peeking out, he exclaimed, "Ah Ting, why are you back at this hour?"
Li Hanting stepped forward and, with a serious expression, pulled his wife into his arms.
Su Jingjing's hands were wet, and she leaned stiffly against his chest. "What's wrong?"
"Honey, I'm about to go on a mission, so I came back to see you."
Li Hanting wished he could integrate people into his very bones.
This mission is quite challenging, and I may not see her for a month.
Su Jingjing was startled. After regaining her senses, she raised her confused eyes and asked, "Then, how long will it take?"
"It may take a month. You need to take good care of yourself at home. If the children are being unruly, you can ask your mother to come and take care of them."
Su Jingjing's eyes flickered; she knew very well that this mission was not simple.
To avoid worrying Ah Ting, she could only force a smile and say, "The children are very well-behaved, you don't need to worry."
"On the contrary, you must come back safely. The children and I are waiting for you at home."
