My scumbag sister stole my husband? I'm a scumbag and married my cowardly brother-in-law
Chapter 4 I heard some inside stories about the sky-high bride price
Wen Ya, who didn't notice anything unusual, continued, "I've already thought of how to ask for it. After dinner, go to Xu Fengqin's room and ask her for it alone. If she doesn't give it to you, threaten her to go to the Xie family to cancel the engagement.
The Xie family gave you the betrothal gift just to marry you, and if you say you want to cancel the engagement, she will definitely give it to you."
She spoke so confidently. Wen Ya must have succeeded by accident in her previous life. It seemed that Xu Fengqin concealed the fact that Xie Changqing was not capable because she was afraid that she would really go to the Xie family to cancel the engagement. By then, the matter would be exposed and the betrothal gift would have to be returned.
That’s a thousand dollars!
Based on Wen Wan's understanding of these two women, it should be Xu Fengqin's suggestion that Wen Ya spend a lot of money on a skirt and leather shoes. Xu Fengqin calculated that the money was gone, and even if Wen Ya knew about Xie Changqing's affairs, she would have no money to pay the betrothal gift, so she would definitely marry with a pinched nose.
In this life, she wants Lu Yiming, and she also wants Xie Changqing's betrothal gift. There is no such thing as having everything in life.
Wen Wan curved her lips and said, "Lu Yiming didn't give any betrothal gifts, so it's not appropriate for me to share the betrothal gifts from the Xie family with you, right?"
"What's inappropriate?" Wen Ya showed displeasure, "I'm your sister, if you are bullied by the Xie family in the future, you still have to look for me to support you.
Besides, Brother Yiming will become rich soon. If you don’t curry favor with me now, it will be too late for you to curry favor with me when we become rich.”
After hearing what she said, Wen Wan became curious, "Why do you think the Xie family would bully me?"
"Of course they will bully you. Let's not talk about anything else, just Xie Changqing's mother, that eldest sister-in-law, and that old fox father who is extremely skilled in Taoism..."
Perhaps because she was afraid of scaring her, Wen Ya stopped talking, crossed her arms over her chest, raised her chin slightly, and said in a very domineering manner: "I'm giving you a chance to curry favor with me, don't be so ungrateful!"
This was not an opportunity to curry favor with her. It was obvious that after going to the cowshed where Lu Yiming lived, he could not only afford to buy her a nice outfit, but she would even have to live a poor life where she often had no food to eat.
How could Wen Ya, who had always been competitive and ambitious, tolerate this? She thought Wen Wan was a fool and easy to deceive, so she set her sights on asking Xie Changqing for a betrothal gift.
The reason why Wen Wan was so stupid and gullible in her previous life was because Wen Ya was her biological sister. She thought that her biological sister would not plot against her, so she didn't think much about it.
But you never expect that the people who can plot against you are often the ones closest to you.
In this life, no matter how much Wen Ya plans for herself, it will be useless. Wen Wan will let her know what the consequences of treating others as fools will be.
No one would complain that the money is too much, and the bride price is what she deserves. Even if there is no custom in rural areas nowadays for married women to take the bride price away, there is no custom of pushing daughters into the fire pit for the bride price.
"Sister-in-law, I heard some things these days about why Xie Changqing gave a sky-high betrothal gift of one thousand yuan."
"..."Xu Fengqin's expression was obviously not right.
"Don't worry, since I've agreed, I won't bother you again. But you can't take all the 1,000 yuan. I also want to keep some money for myself."
Hearing that money was required, Xu Fengqin first breathed a sigh of relief, but then became alert again, "How much do you want?"
"Five hundred," Wen Wan said.
Xu Fengqin was so angry that she laughed, "Five hundred yuan? You really dare to ask for that. I can only give you one hundred yuan at most, not a cent more. Take it or leave it."
"It doesn't matter if they don't give it to me. I will ask the Xie family to cancel the engagement. If the Xie family disagrees, I will ask the village chief."
Nowadays, when people have problems, they won’t think of going to the police or judicial authorities, but they will definitely go to the village chief.
Because in their minds, the village chief is in charge of the entire village. No matter if two families are quarreling or someone has done something illegal, they will go to the village chief to resolve it.
Rural people attach the most importance to continuing the family line. Selling the sister-in-law to someone else at a high price as a decoration and cutting off her descendants is a big taboo for rural people.
Going to the village chief is equivalent to making the matter known to the whole village. At this time, the villagers like to act as referees, judge the party at fault, and exercise the power of punishment at the same time.
For example, collectively isolating the party at fault, verbally attacking the party at fault, letting children throw stones at the party at fault...
This is the favorite form of entertainment for rural people.
Xu Fengqin didn't dare to let her go to the village chief. She saw that Wen Wan was not like Wen Ya and was easy to coax and talk to. She gritted her teeth and raised the price to two hundred.
Unexpectedly, Wen Wan insisted on five hundred, not a cent less, and actually walked out.
"My dear aunt," Xu Fengqin pulled her back and gritted her teeth again, "Three hundred, no more.
Go out and ask around to see which girl's sister-in-law can give her three hundred yuan when she gets married."
"No girl would marry Xie Changqing in his situation." Wen Wan did not give in at all. Seeing the other party hesitate, she suggested, "This deal is not a loss for my sister-in-law.
I will tell others that you gave me eight hundred and took away, and you only kept two hundred. Firstly, you can gain a good reputation, and secondly, no one will want your money anymore.
If someone else's sister-in-law asks you to borrow money every other day, can she refuse? But can her parents, brother's wife, or younger brother's wife refuse?"
Xu Fengqin has been worried about borrowing money these days. She doesn't know what's going on. Ever since she told her mother that she had accepted a thousand yuan betrothal gift from Xie Changqing, her mother's family has come to her every now and then to talk about this and that, and their words are all about asking for money.
Knowing that if she let them borrow it, they would most likely not return it, Xu Fengqin evaded the question twice. Her parents and brothers were so angry that they almost threatened to sever ties with her.
But Xu Fengqin was reluctant to give out five hundred at once.
Wen Wan saw that it was almost time, so she put pressure on him, saying, "Sister-in-law, we can't keep Xie Changqing's affairs secret for long. Aren't you afraid that people will poke you in the back and call you greedy and inhumane?"
Xu Fengqin thought about it and it made sense. At that time, she could say that Wen Wan was willing to marry her for the 1,000 yuan dowry, and she even took 800 yuan away, so it would not have anything to do with her at all.
Besides, five hundred is not a small amount. When she married into the Wen family, she only asked for one hundred as a dowry.
Wen Wan saw Xu Fengqin take out a small iron box from the wooden box, and then take out a stack of brand new Great Unity wrapped in layers from the iron box.
He dipped his fingers in saliva and counted several times before handing over five hundred yuan with great reluctance.
Wen Wan casually put the roll into her trouser pocket, glanced at the wooden box before leaving, and reminded her casually, "Sister-in-law, these five hundred yuan are a huge sum of money, you have to keep it safe.
It would be troublesome if someone stole it, after all, all money looks the same, and even if you know who stole it, you can't prove that the money is yours."
Looking at Xu Fengqin's expression, Wen Wan knew that she was concerned.
Seeing Wen Wan return to the room, Wen Ya jumped up from the bed and asked, "How is it?"
"Not very good." Wen Wan sat back at the desk dejectedly.
"She didn't give me any money?" Wen Ya narrowed her eyes slightly, "That's impossible!"
"I'm not you. She's afraid of you but not me. It's strange that she can give it to me."
Wen Ya thought about it and felt that it made sense. Wen Wan was weak-willed and had no opinion, so she was dismissed with just a few harsh words.
Although he had already accepted the fact that he didn't get it, he still searched Wen Wan's pockets unwillingly, and found that they were empty.
Ugh!
How could she not have thought of this?
But she couldn't ask for the money. After all, it was Wen Wan who married Xie Changqing, not her. It would be strange if Xu Fengqin would pay attention to her.
Wen Ya looked at her useless sister angrily, "How come you are useless at all? How could someone like you have such good fortune in your previous life?"
Wen Wan pretended not to understand and looked at her, "What do you mean by previous life?"
"Nothing," Wen Ya evaded, "If I had known you were so useless, I would have gone to ask for it."
"Okay!" Wen Wan said, "Sister, go and get it for me!"
