Someone asked sarcastically, "Lingzi, I heard your fiancé is divorced and has two kids, is that true? Are you going to be a stepmother when you marry him?"
There’s no wall that doesn’t let the wind through.
After hearing that Ma Xiangling’s fiancé was Director Han from the supply and marketing cooperative, the busybodies in the village secretly snooped around. Once they learned about Director Han’s situation, the news spread throughout the village.
Those who can’t taste the grapes say they’re sour, speaking with sarcasm and ridicule.
Ma Xiangling snorted, looking at the girl who spoke, said, "What’s wrong with being a stepmother? If you wanted to be one, you’d still have to see if they’d take you."
"Hmph, my fiancé is handsome, has a good job, and earns over fifty yuan a month. After I get married, I’ll not only become a city resident but also have money to spend every month, which is much happier compared to you who work in the fields every day to earn points and scratch food from the dirt."
A young wife laughed, "Oh, you’re so proud to be a stepmother, Lingzi, you truly are a learned person, thinking more clearly than us illiterate folks."
"Of course, look at Lingzi; she’s truly educated, and her partner choice is better than ours. Although we married first-timers, she marries a divorcee, yet she has money to spend, unlike us, working ourselves to death every day without a penny to show for it. Alas, what are we striving for here? If back then I could’ve married a rich divorced official, I would have too."
"Who wouldn’t want to be an official’s wife?"
"Too bad we don’t have Lingzi’s luck; we’re destined to scratch food from the dirt our whole lives."
Seeing the envious expressions of others, Ma Xiangling’s pride soared sky-high.
In the afternoon, after sending off the Han Family, Yuan Chun instructed Ma Laoer to move the three major items to the front west room. The new clothes, except for the red wool coat Ma Xiangling was wearing, were all locked by Yuan Chun in her wardrobe.
Ma Xiangling said, "Mom, why are you putting my dowry in my brother’s room? I wanted to learn how to use the sewing machine these days."
Yuan Chun glared at her, curling her lips, "Your brother spent so much money on your studies. Now that you’re getting married, you should repay him, right?"
"Your dowry is only 188 yuan, not enough, so let’s use the three major items to offset the debt."
Ungrateful white-eyed wolf, wanting to take away big dowry, ha, not a chance.
Ma Xiangling’s face turned pale, "Mom, what do you mean, you... you want to keep my dowry and dowry money? What will you give me when I marry?"
"You spent so much money on your studies, and you still want a dowry?" Yuan Chun stepped forward, slapped her a few times, "Ungrateful creature, daydreaming, let me tell you, you just go with nothing, you want dowry, earn it yourself."
Ma Xiangling immediately cried.
Crying her heart out.
"Mom, if I don’t bring a dowry when I marry, how will the Han Family see me? Do you want your daughter to lower her head all her life in the Han Family?"
"Mom, I’m begging you, let me take the dowry first, and when I have money, I’ll definitely repay brother. Sob, Mom, you can’t ignore your daughter’s future happiness."
Yuan Chun sneered at her, "Hah, a married daughter is like spilled water; your future happiness has nothing to do with me. If you want happiness, find a way to keep your man’s heart. As long as you can keep your man’s heart, even if you don’t have a dowry and take things from your husband’s family to your own, your man wouldn’t say anything."
