Chapter 622: Why Don’t You Go Rob a Bank?
Seeing her future mother-in-law getting angry, Song Yueqin quickly interjected to stop her own mother, "Mom, what are you saying? Look, you have upset Auntie! I don’t even like to hear these words, let alone Auntie."
"Oh, what’s wrong with you child... why are you helping outsiders against your own family."
Zhang Juyun was about to scold Song Yueqin but was stopped by her daughter’s signaling glance.
"Auntie, please don’t be angry! My mom is not good with words, but I know she is anxious about my marriage to Qin Fen. After all, I’m not getting any younger." In the village, girls my age are already married.
"If you want to get married, that’s fine, but our family is not in a position to pay a dowry." Li Junping had seen through it; if this daughter-in-law marries into their household, there will surely be no peace in the future.
Now she was dead set on sabotaging the whole affair.
Last time, Li Junping had outmaneuvered Zhang Juyun over the dowry, but this time she came prepared.
"Your family might not have it, but you could always borrow the money, right?" Zhang Juyun smiled, "Don’t you have a rich relative? The An Family! An Shuchao and his son are quite capable, I heard Song Fei earns sixty yuan a month. That’s nearly as much as what a platoon leader in the army makes, right? So, we won’t ask for much as a dowry. Just five hundred yuan, and their wedding can be held by the end of the year."
