Chapter 118 The bride price is a towel!
Zhou Jingchen gave Shen Xue a look, signaling her to speak.
"Mom, I was just about to tell you that Jingchen and I are not planning to build a house. We will just live at home and be filial to you and dad."
"What? You plan to live at home? There is no room for you to live in." Liu Pan was stunned by her daughter's words. How could a daughter live in her parents' home after getting married? Their family was not looking for a live-in son-in-law.
Shen Xue told Liu Pan what Zhou Jingchen had said to her, "Why don't you have room? Ask the eldest, second, and third brothers to live in one room. Suddenly, two rooms are empty. You can move out and live in their rooms.
Jing Chen and I can live in your house, isn't that enough? There is still an empty room here."
Zhang Cuicui and Li Caixia, who were watching the show at the kitchen door, rushed to Shen Xue after hearing her shameless words.
"What did you say? Let Jiabao, Jiaguo, and Jiawei live in the same house?
Is the house your third room belongs to? How dare you say that? How come this Kyoto man you married can't even afford to build a house? You are scheming against your cousins.
You want to live in their house, you're dreaming."
They have seen many shameless people, but they have never seen someone so shameless. The family has been divided, and after getting married, she even wants to occupy the house of her cousins from her natal family. Why doesn't she go to heaven?
Liu Pandi never thought her daughter could say such shameless words, "You want me and your father to move out to make room for you? Is your brain stuck in the door?
The house belongs to me and your father. We can't move out. There's no room for you to live in. You can live wherever you want."
She had never seen any other daughter as "filial" as her daughter, who returned to her parents' home right after getting married and asked them to move out and make room for them.
It would be fine if there were vacant houses, but the problem is that there is not a single vacant house.
Let three nephews live in one room? Forget it. The two sisters-in-law would never agree. As soon as Xiaoxue mentioned it, the two sisters-in-law got furious and were ready to tear Xiaoxue to pieces.
Shen Xue didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said. She and Jing Chen must live in a better house after their wedding.
The three cousins are not married yet, so what's wrong with living in the same house?
"Mother, eldest aunt, second aunt, even if I get married, I am still the daughter of the Shen family. It is only natural for me to live at home. Even if you disagree, I will live here."
Zhang Cuicui and Li Caixia gave Ni a disdainful look and said, "Where you live is none of our business. If you dare to take our first and second houses, I will just throw you out."
"You are so cold-blooded and heartless. Even if we split up the family, I am still your niece, and Jing Chen is your niece-in-law. How can you not care about family affection at all?"
Neither of them paid any attention to the frantic Shen Xue, and strode back to the kitchen to cook dinner.
Zhou Jingchen thought that if Shen Xue told the Shen family about the house, they would agree to let them move in and would happily welcome them to live in their home.
I didn't expect these peasants to be so ignorant. I condescended to live in their house, but they actually wanted to throw it away. How unreasonable!
"Xiaoxue, let's go. We don't want to live in this house anymore." When she turned around and left, she did not forget to take the egg cake he brought.
"Jing Chen, wait for me..."
Liu Pandi still had something to say, so he called out to Zhou Jingchen, "Jingchen, wait a minute."
Zhou Jingchen thought Liu Pandi would compromise and move out to let them live in. He was about to step out of the yard but he pulled back and turned back to Liu Pandi.
"what's up?"
Liu Pandi sat on the chair and pointed at the small stool next to him, "You sit down."
Zhou Jingchen disliked the dirty stool and wiped it with a handkerchief before sitting down.
Liu Pan looked: “…”
"Jingchen, you and Xiaoxue got married in a hurry, and I didn't have time to give you the betrothal gift. I understand you.
Now that the certificate has been torn up, when do you think the betrothal gift will be paid?
Mother doesn't want much, just give me a hundred dollars as a token of your appreciation, and you only need to prepare one ring for the three turns."
Liu Pandi felt that she was a very easy-to-talk-to mother-in-law. Even though her son-in-law's family was rich, she didn't ask for too much. She only wanted a hundred yuan and a watch, which was not much money.
"I have already given the betrothal gift to Shen Xue."
"Give it to her? When did you give it to her?" How could she not know? Could it be that the little girl Xiaoxue didn't tell her in order to keep the betrothal money in her hands?
Liu Pan looked at his daughter with a displeased expression, "Xiaoxue, what's going on? Did Jingchen give you the betrothal gift?"
Shen Xue was still confused, "Jingchen, when did you give me the betrothal gift?"
"When I first went to the countryside, I gave you a towel. That was the betrothal gift."
The next second, bursts of laughter came from the first and second rooms.
"Hahaha!"
"Did you hear that, sister-in-law? Zhou Zhiqing said he gave the betrothal gift. It's a towel!"
"I heard it. If I'm not mistaken, the towel that Zhou Zhiqing gave me can be bought at the supply and marketing cooperative for 50 cents."
"Hahaha, it's so funny."
The two vicious aunts were laughing at her, Shen Xue, saying she was only worth fifty cents!
How could Shen Xue be so cheap? Jing Chen must be joking.
"Jingchen, stop joking. Did you not have time to prepare the betrothal gift? It's okay. I can wait for two days."
Zhou Jingchen's expression was very serious. "No kidding, the betrothal gift is just a towel."
It's really ridiculous that a country girl wants him to spend hundreds of dollars to marry her. What a wishful thinking.
Liu Pandi was so angry that his face turned blue, "Zhou Jingchen, what do you think of my daughter?"
The betrothal gift is a towel, wouldn't her daughter become a joke? Even in a poor family, if they don't have money to marry a daughter-in-law, they will collect a bag of grain as a betrothal gift.
Her daughter's appearance is not the best, but there is no one else like her in the area.
I don't have a son, so I thought that when my daughter gets married, I can get a large dowry, so that when she and my husband get old and can't work anymore, life won't be so difficult.
Now her son-in-law told her that her daughter was only worth fifty cents! Liu Pandi couldn't accept it at all, and her chest heaved violently, as if it would burst at any time.
"You can make me treat her as anything you want."
Anyone who sees his indifferent attitude would want to punch him.
Liu Pandi wanted to yell at him but he was so angry that he couldn't say a word. He could only glare at him fiercely.
The door of the third room moved, and Zhou Jingchen ran away. He was not afraid of Liu Pandiya, but he was afraid of Uncle Shen San. If his nominal father-in-law wanted to hit him, he would not be able to beat him.
Shen Xue looked at her mother who was trembling with anger, then looked at Zhou Jingchen who was running far away, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and ran out.
Uncle Shen came out and calmly said to Liu Pan, "She is no longer our daughter.
You pack up her clothes and leave them at the door, and let her take them when she comes back."
