Chapter 628: She’s Not a Good Girl
"Brother, do you know what happened today? I’m getting married, but the family can’t afford the bride price. I heard they borrowed some money from sister-in-law’s family. And what happened? She didn’t give me a single penny. Instead, she made me sign an IOU to Song Family," Qin Fen said, his heart brimming with grievance, "Tell me, she is my sister-in-law, isn’t she? Our family is in trouble right now. We’re just borrowing money from her to get by until things are better, and of course, we will pay her back eventually. But she just refused."
Qin Jian listened to his younger brother criticize An Hao, his brows gently furrowing, "Is the problem solved now?"
"Hmm. It’s sort of solved, I guess?" Qin Fen sighed.
"If it’s solved, then that’s that. What else is there to discuss?"
His young wife was not only young but also very sensible and literate; he trusted that if An Hao handled it this way, there must be a reason for it.
"Ah... but this has made my future mother-in-law and wife unhappy. What if we have conflicts after we’re married?" Qin Fen was dissatisfied and even blamed all the potential future family conflicts on An Hao.
"True love is not built on money. You’re thinking about it all wrong," Qin Jian said gravely, his face stern as he admonished Qin Fen, "Marriage is not child’s play. It must be built on the willing and equal basis of both parties..."
Qin Fen could tell that Qin Jian was defending An Hao’s reputation and interests at every turn.
"Alright, brother! Stop talking. I get it; now in your heart there’s only sister-in-law," he was quite unhappy with Qin Jian over this.
That Qin Fen could say such things truly chilled Qin Jian’s heart.
But Qin Fen was still young, and as his elder brother, he wouldn’t hold it against him, "Qin Fen, if you need money for the bride price, you could have just asked me directly. After discussing it with your sister-in-law, we would definitely have helped you."
