Reborn in the 1980s, remarried and followed a soldier, the ungrateful wretch cried with regret.

Chapter 48 Everyone who comes has to pay.

As soon as the old lady spoke, Yan Hongwei perked up again.

"That's right, sister-in-law, such a big matter, you should at least tell our parents! Mingxue is our second brother's only child left in this world, how can you decide her marriage on your own?"

Fu's mother retorted directly, "What's it to you?"

"How can you say this has nothing to do with me? I'm Mingxue's aunt, after all..."

Mother Fu sneered, "Oh, so you're putting on airs as the eldest aunt now? Fine, your niece is getting married, so you, as the eldest aunt, should hurry up and give some dowry money!"

Giving a hundred or so yuan wouldn't be excessive, after all, he's your husband's uncle! Being too stingy, how can he face his younger brother who died years ago?

Yan Hongwei's eyes widened suddenly, and he turned completely red with anger.

Does Xu Zifeng have no shame?
That bastard dares to ask for such an exorbitant amount—over a hundred dollars! Why doesn't he just rob us?
Mother Fu ignored her and went straight to confront the two old geezers.

Without any politeness, he said to them:
"—And you grandparents, since you're here, it saves me the trouble of making another trip. It wouldn't be right for you grandparents not to give a dowry for my Mingxue's wedding. Considering your age, I won't ask for much, just half of what you prepared for your eldest grandson! I heard you gave Fu Junyang four hundred yuan, so you should give two hundred for your granddaughter's wedding. If you don't even have two hundred, then I'll make a scene."

"You keep calling her your beloved granddaughter all the time. What, now that she's married, you're planning to stop giving her a single penny?"

"You, you shameless woman! What kind of granddaughter asks her grandparents for dowry money?!"

Yan Hongwei jumped the highest this time.

After all, Xu Zifeng asked for two hundred dollars right off the bat, which was her son's money—in her mind, all the old couple's money belonged to her two sons.

How could we let a mere girl get her hands on it?
Mother Fu slapped her across the face—two slaps, one after another. “I’ve put up with you for so long. You’re such a chatterbox, aren’t you? What’s wrong with me asking my grandparents to give my granddaughter a dowry? Their son has been dead for so many years, and he still has the nerve to ask me for living expenses every month. What, shouldn’t they give their granddaughter a dowry?”

Furthermore, what I asked them to pay was the pension Mingxue's father received from his military unit back then. They took the lion's share of that money. What, now that their granddaughter is married, they won't even hand over two hundred? Aren't they heartless?"

"Since that's the case, fine then. Don't even think about asking me for a single penny from now on. And don't even think about getting involved with my Mingxue in the slightest. Consider it completely unrelated to your Fu family."

"You, you—" Yan Hongwei covered her face; she was furious.

That damned Xu Zifeng actually hit her in front of so many people.

Seeing that no one stood up for her, she immediately glared at the man next to her.

"Are you dead? Didn't you see her hit me?"

The eldest brother, Fu, spoke up: "Second sister-in-law, this is wrong of you. How could you hit someone?"

Mrs. Fu sneered, "Of course she deserved it! She should reflect on herself more—why did I hit her instead of someone else?"

Yan Hongwei was angered by these words once again.

Listen to her, is she even speaking human language?
What do you mean by asking her to reflect on her actions?

Damn it, she has no right to reflect on her own actions!
At this moment, Old Man Fu spoke up: "Alright, stop arguing, Second Son's wife. Mingxue's marriage is such a big deal, why didn't you tell us? Marriage is a major event, even if you are her mother, you can't make decisions on your own!"
