Chapter: 1390

Xiao Churan noticed that he looked a bit off-key and thought he was getting angry, hastily explaining, "Lei Chen, don't think too much, I just mean it's okay to marry you!"

Lei Chen nodded and smiled, asking her, "If one day you became the young master of a wealthy family, what would you do?"

Xiao Churan laughed, saying, "Your hypothetical scenario is invalid because you are an orphan and can't be the young master of a wealthy family."

Lei Chen said, "I was just making a comparison, assuming I was..."

Xiao Churan laughed, saying, "If you were truly someone's young master of a wealthy family, I'd get a divorce from you."

Lei Chen was startled and asked, "You're not serious, are you?"

Xiao Churan giggled and said, "Just teasing, let's hurry up and go upstairs. We're going to the third floor!"

Feeling helpless, Lei Chen shook his head and followed her into that old apartment unit.

What surprised him was that today was his wife's ex-classmate's wedding day, and they had ended up at the entrance of the unit. The family didn't even have a single congratulatory character posted, indicating that they hadn't made any preparations for their daughter to get married.

The two walked upstairs together, and when they reached the third floor, they heard someone shouting and scolding from above.

"You're just a spendthrift who's ready to marry into their family without a penny, aren't you? If you do that, I'll probably be killed by people poking my backbones to death after that!"

A middle-aged woman was speaking, her voice sounding very arrogant and similar to Ma'eran's.

"These Sun family people are really taking advantage of you, making your children have theirs and not giving them a penny in dowry. They're even willing to kill their backs for it!"

"One young man scolded, 'The Sun family only dares not be afraid. They would rather my sister get beaten than give her a dowry. Because they simply look down on my sister, thinking she's beneath them.'"

Finished speaking, he added, "Sister, you're crazy to fall in love with that surname Sun person. That guy and his whole family are terrible. You should go ask around our neighborhood district, who among the girls has married out without getting a dowry? My cousin Shunzi got 280,000 yuan as a dowry when he married off his sister. The first installment was paid by the bride's family, and they also gave her 50,000 yuan for decoration. If you marry that surname Sun person, I'll have to figure out how to deal with it in the future!"

"Yes! You're always so far away from being ashamed, so just consider your brother-in-law for now. Your brother is 22 this year and should be getting married soon. With the way things are now, no girl wants to marry someone without a place of their own at home."

Just then, a woman was heard complaining, "I truly love Sun Hongwei with all my heart. When we're together, I don't care about his money."

"True love?" The middle-aged woman sneered and said in a menacing tone, "Don't make me laugh! That surname Sun guy wouldn't possibly treat you well if he really loved you. He doesn't even give you a penny as a dowry, not to mention not coming to pick you up. This is over 50 kilometers away. Can't I just send myself off? Is this what people do?"

The young man shouted, "That surname Sun guy totally looks down on us. They think we're poor and can't compare to their family, so they don't care about us at all. On your wedding day, they won't even come to pick you up. This is the first time I've heard of such a thing in my life."

Finished speaking, he added, "Sister! Don't be so silly now. You're determined to get married today, no matter what. Even if I have to rent a car myself, I'll still marry him."

Finished speaking, she said, "You guys don't need to say anything else. I've made up my mind. Today, I'm definitely going to get married, even if it means going out by myself. As long as I can make my brother happy, that's all that matters."

She then added, "Hongwei isn't the terrible person you're imagining. He just can't please his mother. Everything in his family is decided by his mother. When he first agreed to give a dowry, it was actually because of his mother's disapproval. After they get married, Hongwei will separate from his mother's finances and accumulate more money. By the time we're ready to buy a house for your brother, there should be enough for 300,000 yuan."

"What? Wait two years?" The middle-aged woman scolded, "Your brother is already 22 this year. If we wait another two days until he's 24, then what about next year when we'll be expecting a grandchild? Are we going to have to wait another two years just because of him?"

"Besides, I don't believe anything Sun says. He said that if the circumstances are right, he might not provide this money later on. Later on, you'll get married and have kids, and they'll be worthless second-hand goods. Then what will you do when you want to buy a house for your brother?"

The young woman said, "Mom, I've been with Hongwei for a few years now. I know what kind of person he is. He says he'll do something, and he always does." JrNovels.com
