Chapter 1406 Broken Engagement 55
Chapter 1406 Breaking off the Engagement 55
Shen Yuandong and Taohua's engagement party went very smoothly.
The wedding date is set for the ninth day of next month.
Yuanchun gave the betrothal money, three turns and one bell, and clothes and other things, all of which were given three days before the wedding.
The next day, Shen Yuandong had to go back to the county town to work, and Huo Min had to go back to the black market to do some business, so Yuanchun took Taohua to the county town together.
"Sis, where are you taking me?"
After Taohua became Shen Yuandong's fiancée, she started calling him sister.
Yuanchun pulled her into a large alley and said, "After you and Yuandong get married, he can't leave you alone in the village. I want to buy a wedding house for you."
Yesterday, the elder sister-in-law generously took out 120 yuan as a betrothal gift and promised to give three turns and one ring. This opened Taohua's eyes and she was very moved.
Now, the elder sister-in-law said she wanted to buy her a wedding house. Taohua was stunned. "Sister, buying a house costs a lot of money. Let's forget it. I... I don't want you to keep subsidizing your parents' home and let your brother-in-law look down on you."
After a pause, the girl said, "Actually, you said your father left a pension, but I don't believe it. Your mother was sick for half a year and went to the hospital every day to buy medicine, which cost a lot of money. Once you ran out of money, you secretly hid and cried, and I saw it."
"And later, you didn't have money to pay Yuan Dong's tuition, so you went to the school and knelt down before the school leaders... If you really had that money, you definitely wouldn't do anything that would hurt your self-esteem. You've always been a strong person, unless you were forced into a last resort."
“Sister, regarding the pension, you are the only one who can deceive me, Yuan Dong, a fool, and my parents, who are uneducated and ignorant. You can’t deceive me.”
"Sister, the betrothal money and three turns and one ring you gave me, is that the money that your brother-in-law handed over to you? Did you secretly embezzle it?"
"You and your brother-in-law just got married, and you are still newlyweds. Your brother-in-law won't say anything, but he will definitely be unhappy in his heart. Maybe this money will affect your relationship with your wife."
"Sister, I don't want you to be embarrassed in front of your brother-in-law."
"Yuandong and I are not a burden to you. You don't have to pay so much for us. After Yuandong and I get married, I believe that with the efforts of Yuandong and I, our little family will definitely get better and better, and we will not be poor forever."
"Sister, forget about buying a wedding house. Don't mention it again in the future, and don't let my brother-in-law know about it."
Taohua is only thinking about Yuanchun.
She always thought that Yuanchun was deceiving everyone and Huo Min about the pension. In fact, she was using Huo Min's money to secretly support her younger brother.
The reason she said that was because she was afraid Huo Min would be angry with her if he knew.
With such an elder sister-in-law who cares about her and Yuandong wholeheartedly, she cannot let her elder sister-in-law down and she also has to think about her.
Taohua said, "Sister, after Yuandong and I get married, we will rent a small house in the county town to live in first. Yuandong will have a salary, and I can also earn some money by picking up seafood. I heard that there are jobs for pasting matchboxes in the county town. When the time comes, I will get more and I can at least earn enough to pay the rent."
Yuanchun looked at her and smiled faintly.
The pension was something she made up, and the money had been spent long ago.
But she always had to have an excuse to find where all this huge sum of money came from. However, she didn't expect that her obedient brother didn't notice it, but her shrewd sister-in-law did.
But she insisted that as long as she had the money, no one could do anything to her.
