Chapter: 1389

All houses in the small community were no more than six stories high, and the buildings were built very densely, with the original green exterior coating already worn off to reveal the concrete color.

The entrance of the small community was narrow, and there was a relatively high deceleration belt, plus they could see that the situation inside was extremely serious - it wasn't just trash cans occupying the road or someone's three-wheeled vehicle, bicycle, motorcycle, or old car parked on the roadside, so the interior was very narrow.

Lei Chen drove his Bugatti in front, took a look at the entrance of the small community, and then called his wife Xiao Churan to say: "Honey, this neighborhood's road conditions are too complicated. I estimate that our car's bottom is too low, we can't even drive in, so why don't we park the car on the side of the road and walk in?"

Xiao Churan said, "Okay, you go first, and I'll follow behind you."

Lei Chen parked his car by the roadside and had Xiao Churan park her car right behind him.

The two of them got out of the car. The morning pedestrians saw these two top-notch luxury cars suddenly arrive in this economically depressed small county town, stopping to take photos with their phones.

Lei Chen didn't want to draw too much attention, so he took Xiao Churan's hand and went into the community first.

Luckily they arrived early, so there weren't many people around yet. Otherwise, it might have been a real bottleneck.

It was only 7:40 in the morning at this point. After Xiao Churan and Lei Chen entered the community together, she couldn't help but exclaim, "I came to her house once during my high school days. At that time, she lived here, and I never thought she would still be living here after so many years."

Lei Chen looked at the old buildings and couldn't help but sigh, "It looks like the houses must have shrunk a lot by now?"

Xiao Churan nodded in agreement, saying, "Their home is just one 2-bedroom apartment, which adds up to around 60 square meters."

Lei Chen asked curiously, "How do they live with four people in a 2-bedroom apartment? You didn't say she also has a younger brother, did you?"

"Yes," Xiao Churan said, "They couldn't afford to buy a big house, so her and her younger brother lived together in one room from childhood. When she left for college, he was still just a kid. So, after they both graduated, it became too cramped for them to live together again. That's why my classmate went to Jinling to strike out on their own, renting an apartment to live there."

She said with a sigh, "She's not getting married today, after all. According to custom, she should be sent off by her parents at home, so she came here yesterday evening and was waiting for this morning's send-off."

Lei Chen nodded slightly and said, "At that time, no one in the neighborhood would marry a girl without setting up a colorful gate or something with congratulations and blessings written above. How come your classmate's family didn't do anything? It looks like there's no sign of someone getting married today."

Xiao Churan helplessly said, "Her parents don't want her to get married because the other party won't give her a dowry, but she's not pregnant, is she? So there's nothing else to do. I heard that her parents were very angry and refused to see her. They even said today she's getting married, and they won't go with her, so let her walk alone."

Lei Chen couldn't help but say, "This is a bit excessive. How can the parents of their own daughter not even attend her wedding? It's too cold-hearted."

Xiao Churan felt some pity and said, "My classmate is particularly pitiful. Her parents have already told her that as long as she brings back 300,000 yuan in dowry, it doesn't matter who she marries. That way, they can buy a house for her younger brother."

"But the man she wants to marry won't give her a dowry, so her parents and younger brother both want her to get an abortion and find someone who will give her a dowry."

"It's true......" Xiao Churan said, "She wants me to help her, otherwise she really can't carry it on by herself. I originally thought of inviting a few old classmates from that time to come and lend a hand, even if it's just to create some commotion. But she doesn't want to."

Lei Chen said helplessly, "Probably because they don't want to lose face in front of so many classmates, can understand."

Xiao Churan nodded slightly, saying, "I've never seen her so pitiful on such an important day of marriage, with family members and in-laws all adding pressure..."

As she spoke, Xiao Churan couldn't help but sigh: "Lei Chen, I really think it's okay to get married to you. If my parents were to ask me to marry someone from a wealthy family, I don't know what kind of humiliation they would put me through."

Lei Chen looked somewhat embarrassed.

And by the way, his own wife didn't even know that he was marrying this good-for-nothing old man, who is actually the young master of the top-tier family nationwide. JrNovels.com
