Chapter 309 The two finally got married.
"Fifty yuan?" Chen Ying felt incredulous. Back then, her good-for-nothing husband had paid her two hundred yuan to marry her!
Chen Ying never imagined that two hundred yuan a few years later would have a completely different purchasing power than two hundred yuan now!
"Yingzi, as you know, breaking off the engagement cost me a lot of money, and my family is really facing some difficulties," He Lin said, feigning distress.
Actually, his family was unwilling to give more. When he was going to marry Chen Ting, they thought she was a high school student and a virgin, so they gave her a dowry of eighty yuan.
Who knew the other party was that kind of person? He had spent a lot of money to break off the engagement, so when it came to Chen Ying's family, no one wanted to spend any more money.
"Don't worry, son, she's come to our door on her own initiative, she definitely wants to marry you! This is all we're offering, it's not a small amount!" He Lin's mother was trying to manipulate Chen Ying.
When Chen Ying's family heard that the bride price was only fifty yuan, they immediately wanted to disagree.
Chen Ying was also somewhat angry; how could she be cheaper than Chen Ting!
If Chen Ting knew she was being compared like this, she would definitely slap the other person in the face. You may like to sell things by weight, but she doesn't like that.
“No, Yingzi, this is too little. You’re a young, unmarried woman, and you’re only getting fifty yuan as a bride price? Who are you treating this to!” Chen Ying’s mother was also unhappy.
Chen Ting's daughter insisted on picking up the things that Chen Ting didn't want, without even feeling ashamed.
He Lin was fearless, unaware that Chen Ying was deeply in love with him.
"Yingzi, why don't you two discuss this again? You know my family's financial situation! This is the most I can offer!"
How could He Lin's family only have this much money? They just can't bear to spend it on getting married.
Chen Ying wasn't blind to the situation; she was simply certain that He Lin would make a fortune.
"Fine, I'll marry you!" Chen Ying agreed through gritted teeth, deciding to treat it all as a test.
No pain, no gain; Chen Ying is determined to become someone of high standing!
Chen Ying's family wanted to persuade her further, but seeing her attitude, they simply let her be.
I really don't know what's so good about He Lin that Chen Ying insists on marrying him.
In the end, He Lin left satisfied, but the Chen family members didn't seem particularly happy.
"Since the bride price is so low, we won't prepare a dowry for you!" Chen Ying's mother said disdainfully.
"Hmph, fine, I won't give it to you then, but I want to take the bride price back with me!"
"You, take it if you want!" Chen Ying's mother was also disheartened.
I don't know what's wrong with her daughter lately; she's always going against the family.
Yes, she admitted that her family was somewhat sexist, but they weren't that bad to her.
Back then, she didn't want to go to school. She tried to persuade her and even hit her, but her child just said that she couldn't get into high school and didn't want to go to school.
Now she's blaming them again, saying they stopped her from going to school, otherwise she might have gotten into high school or even university.
In her opinion, the Chen family simply doesn't have the gene for learning.
Don't you know how well you're doing in your studies? Over the years, only that girl Chen Ting has become a high school student.
That's not all; now she's not even doing any housework.
Whenever someone talks about her, they say things like, "Why don't her brother and sister-in-law do it? They only let her do it. They say she's sexist."
Chen Ying's mother wanted to slap her. It was true that she preferred her son, but her son could do chores. Chen Ying thought her brother just sat on the ground playing all day.
How could Chen Ying not know how tiring it was to work in the fields every day, facing the loess soil and turning his back to the sky?
If you ask her to cook, do laundry, or feed the pigs at home, she feels like you're making things difficult for her.
She even had to call her sister-in-law to the ground; her daughter really doesn't know what's good for her.
After this happened several times, Chen Ying's mother also became disheartened.
Moreover, she also heard that Chen Ying had actually gone to He Lin's house to work for others.
Well, when I ask her to do something at home, she dawdles and looks completely unwilling.
When they arrived at the other person's home, they did their best, washing clothes, cooking, and taking care of the children, which made Chen Ying's mother angry.
What kind of girl is this? She's clearly a debt collector!
And as for marriage, she's advised against it so many times.
They've all been through this before; they can see through He Lin's little schemes.
She was secretly mocking Chen Ting's mother for raising a silly daughter who became a stepmother at such a young age.
Who would have thought that fortunes would turn around like this? Now it's her daughter who's gone mad and insists on becoming someone's stepmother.
Chen Ying's mother was furious whenever she thought about it. "That brat! I don't know what she was thinking. Is being a stepmother so easy?"
She insisted that He Lin's child was easy to coax.
Bullshit! All kids are the same. When they're well-behaved, they're well-behaved, but when they're noisy, they can drive you crazy. Besides, this isn't even your own child!
Look at He Lin now, he's even unwilling to pay the bride price, how can he cherish her in the future?
Chen Ying's mother had a lot to say, but seeing her daughter's joyful expression, she shook her head.
Fine, she made her own choice. If she doesn't have a good life in the future, she can't blame her parents!
The wedding day arrived quickly, and He Lin arrived on his bicycle.
Chen Ying, dressed in red, looked at He Lin shyly.
"Yingzi, is this all you have?" He Lin was somewhat dissatisfied. He had already given a bride price, but this was all the dowry he received.
Look at all this: a small box, two rolls of blankets, a washbasin, a tea bottle, and that's it!
"Well, time was short, and my family didn't have time to prepare much, but my parents told me to take the betrothal gifts back with me!"
Chen Ying quickly explained that she also resented her parents for not preparing a dowry for her.
Fortunately, Chen Ying's mother didn't know that Chen Ying was thinking this way. She said she wouldn't give her daughter a dowry, but Chen Ying's mother eventually softened and provided the quilt, washbasin, and other items. Even so, Chen Ying was still not satisfied.
He Lin's expression softened considerably when he heard that the bride price had been taken back with him.
"You said Yingzi's dowry was too small, but you came to pick her up on a beat-up bicycle!" Chen Ying's brother was speechless; he had never seen such an inconsiderate person.
Every family needs a newer bicycle for the wedding procession, or at least they should clean it thoroughly.
Look at the bike He Lin is riding; the mud on it hasn't been wiped off yet.
And the other party only brought some of the cheapest candy from the supply and marketing cooperative for the wedding procession; that's incredibly stingy.
"I... I was just too anxious!" He Lin was also a little embarrassed; he hadn't really put in much effort.
"Alright, brother, today is my wedding day!" Chen Ying told her brother to stop talking. She was getting married, so why was she still worrying about these trivial things?
So the two rode their bicycles back to He Lin's house. Chen Ying sat on the back of the bicycle, tightly holding onto He Lin's clothes as if she had grasped a great treasure.
Just when Chen Ying thought she was about to embark on the road to wealth, Chen Ting felt that she was the one who had embarked on the road to wealth.
There are so many things in the south!
