Chapter 775: Promise_1
The next day at 8 a.m., at the Splendid Ten Miles residential area in Jiangnan City, Villa No. 5.
A young man dressed in a dark blue suit, wearing a tie, and donning a boutonniere stood anxiously in front of his mother, pleading, "Mom, please give me back my phone and let me go to Lu County to pick up Xiao Hui now."
"Xiao Hui’s family wanted a dowry, and our family didn’t provide one; now Xiao Hui is pregnant and her family has to come over, which really doesn’t seem right."
"I can drive there now, and it’ll only be about two hours there and back..."
"Peng Ye! Are you criticizing me?"
Before the young man could finish, an angry middle-aged woman cut him off abruptly, "I never agreed when you started dating that country bumpkin! What’s her family’s status? What about our family’s status?"
"Had you found a girl from the city, with a dowry including a Mercedes or BMW, I wouldn’t have had any objections."
"But no, you had to choose a girl from the countryside, and they even have the nerve to demand a dowry of three hundred thousand yuan! What do they think we are? A bank?"
Although Peng Ye had tried his best to hide the fact that the He family wanted a dowry of three hundred thousand yuan, his mother, a shrewd woman, sent someone to Lu County for a quick inquiry and found out about it.
Peng Ye’s face turned red with a sense of helplessness, "Mom, Xiao Hui’s parents have worked hard to raise her, asking for three hundred thousand yuan as a dowry isn’t really a lot."
"Besides, I didn’t ask you to pay this money."
