Reborn in the 80s and Remarrying an Officer, Let the Ungrateful Cry!

Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Everyone Who Came Must Cough Up

The moment the old woman spoke, Yan Hongwei got her backbone back.

"Exactly! I’m telling you, Sister-in-law, for something this major, you should have at least told our parents! Mingxue is the only child our second brother left in this world. How could you decide on her marriage all by yourself?"

Mrs. Fu cursed right back, "None of your damn business."

"You— How is it none of my business? I’m Mingxue’s eldest aunt, for goodness’ sake..."

Mrs. Fu sneered. "Oh, so now you’re pulling the ’Eldest Aunt’ card? Fine. Your precious niece is getting married, so you, her ’Eldest Aunt,’ had better hurry up and contribute to her dowry!

A hundred yuan or so wouldn’t be too much to ask. After all, your husband is her eldest uncle! If he’s too cheap, how can he face his second brother who’s been dead for years?"

Yan Hongwei’s eyes flew wide, and her face flushed crimson with sheer rage.

’Does that damn Xu Zifeng have no shame?’ freewebnσvel.cѳm

’The absolute fucking audacity to ask for so much—a hundred yuan? Why doesn’t she just go rob a bank?’

Mrs. Fu ignored her and turned to face those two old fossils.

She said to them bluntly,

"—And as for you two, her grandparents, since you’re already here, it saves me a trip. My Mingxue is getting married. It would be unacceptable for her grandparents not to provide a dowry. Out of respect for your old age, I won’t ask for much. Just half of what you prepared for your precious grandson! I heard you gave Fu Junyang four hundred yuan. So for your granddaughter’s wedding, you can give two hundred. If you can’t even come up with two hundred, I’m going to cause a scene."

"You call her your ’dear granddaughter’ all day long. What, now that your dear granddaughter is getting married, you plan on not parting with a single cent?"

"You... you’re shameless! What kind of granddaughter asks her grandparents for dowry money—"

This time, it was Yan Hongwei who reacted the most violently.

After all, Xu Zifeng had just demanded two hundred yuan, which was basically her son’s money. In her mind, all the old couple’s money belonged to her two sons.

’How could she let some little wench get her hands on it?’

Mrs. Fu slapped her directly across the face—SLAP! SLAP!

"I’ve been putting up with you for a long time! You just can’t keep your mouth shut, can you? What’s wrong with me asking the grandparents to give their own granddaughter a dowry? Their son has been dead for years, yet they still have the nerve to ask me for living expenses every month. So what, when it comes to their granddaughter, they shouldn’t have to pay for a dowry? free𝑤ebnovel.com

And another thing, the money I’m asking for is from the death benefits the military gave for Mingxue’s father. They’re the ones who took the lion’s share of it! What, now that their granddaughter is getting married, they’re not even willing to part with two hundred? How heartless can you be?"

"If that’s how it is, then fine! From now on, don’t even think about getting a single cent from me. And don’t think you’ll have anything to do with my Mingxue, either. We’ll act like we have nothing to do with you Fu family."

"You... you—" Yan Hongwei clutched her face, about to explode with rage.

’That damn Xu Zifeng actually slapped her in front of all these people.’

Seeing that no one was standing up for her, she immediately glared at her husband standing to the side.

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

Eldest Fu finally spoke up. "Sister-in-law, you’re in the wrong here. How could you hit someone?"

Mrs. Fu scoffed, "Of course I hit her. She deserved it! She should be the one doing some self-reflection—why didn’t I hit anyone else? Why her?"

Yan Hongwei was incensed all over again by her words.

’Listen to her. Is that something a human being would even say?’

’What does she mean, I should do some self-reflection?’

’Reflect on my ass—’

Just then, Old Man Fu spoke up. "Enough. Stop arguing. Second Daughter-in-law, Mingxue’s marriage is a major event. Why didn’t you tell us? A marriage is a serious matter. Even as her mother, you can’t just make the decision on your own!"
