Chapter 141: Twenty Thousand Betrothal Gift

Wu Mengting’s words were not wrong, but Lin Yujiao felt very awkward hearing them.

“There are also many couples who have to divorce again after remarrying. So, let’s just forget it, so as not to divorce again.”

After Lin Yujiao said this, she looked relieved.

Hearing her say this, of course Chen Feng was happy in his heart. But Wu Mengting’s heart was just the opposite.

Lin Yujiao was now Chen Feng’s kept mistress. Although Wu Mengting got along with her, she definitely didn’t want her to maintain a long-term relationship with Chen Feng.

“Then you’re not going home to see?” Chen Feng asked tentatively.

Lin Yujiao shook her head and said, “What’s there to see? I don’t want to see him, and I don’t want to see his mother again.”

Chen Feng asked again with feigned concern, “Didn’t your parents ask you to go back? If you don’t go back, won’t it be difficult for your parents?”

“What do you mean by that?” Lin Yujiao was a little angry. “You’re so eager for me to go over and get back together with my ex-husband? If you really think so, I’ll listen to you.”

“No, no, how could I? Am I stupid?” Chen Feng chuckled and said, “I’m also afraid that your parents will be in a difficult position.”

“What’s so difficult for them? Just refuse. In the end, they’re still reluctant to part with the twenty thousand betrothal gift.”

Wu Mengting said, “A betrothal gift of twenty thousand is quite a lot. It’s usually only about ten thousand here.”

Chen Feng said matter-of-factly, “There’s no market price here. It’s all negotiated. If the man’s betrothal gift is more, the woman’s dowry is also more. If the man’s betrothal gift is more than ten thousand, he will usually be given a car worth more than ten thousand as a dowry. The amount of money paid by both parties will not be too different.

Of course, under normal circumstances, the woman’s side will definitely still have some advantages. After all, it’s not easy to raise a daughter. There are also betrothal gifts of tens of thousands of yuan, or even no betrothal gift, but they are a minority after all. There are also hundreds of thousands, and the dowry of cars, home appliances, and so on will be about the same price.”

Wu Mengting said with a smile, “Our city is still quite good in this regard. It’s considered gender equality, much better than the sky-high betrothal gifts in the north.”

Chen Feng said, “Our city is so big, and the customs in many places are different. In some places in Feiyun City, there is a custom of paying a large dowry for marrying a daughter. One is lost for every one married, and the family even falls into heavy debt because of it.”

Wu Mengting smiled and nodded, “That’s true, I’ve heard of it too. So, Yujiao’s ex-husband’s betrothal gift of 200,000 now, and without requiring a dowry, is really very sincere.”

Lin Yujiao rolled her eyes at the two of them unhappily, changed the subject and said, “Are you still going to wander around? If not, we’ll go back.”

Wu Mengting said with a smile, “Yujiao, I think it’s better for you to go home. One is to give your parents an explanation to the other party, and the other is that if you really don’t want to get back together, you can just take this opportunity when the elders of both sides are present to make it clear.”

After thinking for a while, Lin Yujiao finally shook her head and said, “Let’s just forget it. I’m afraid that if I go over, I’ll be persuaded by them together. I don’t want to see that kind of scene.”

Hearing this, Chen Feng nodded and said, “That’s possible. Your parents asked you to go over, which obviously means they tend to let you get back together. They will most likely persuade you along with them. You may not give your ex-husband and his mother a good face, but it’s not easy to deal with your own parents.”

Lin Yujiao sighed, “Yes. My parents are very greedy for money. It’s been like this since I was a child. They want to sell me, their daughter, again for two hundred thousand.”

These words made Chen Feng and Wu Mengting speechless. They could only say that every family has its own difficulties. There are thousands of good parents, but there are also not a few bad parents. Everyone has their own fate with their parents.

As they were talking, Lin Yujiao’s phone rang. After she looked at it, her face turned ugly and she hung up directly.

Not long after, the phone rang again. Lin Yujiao just glanced at it and hung up again.

Chen Feng and Wu Mengting looked at each other. Chen Feng said, “Then let’s not wander around anymore. Let’s go back.”

Lin Yujiao obviously had no interest in playing anymore. Similarly, Chen Feng was not very interested in this Guanyin Temple either. It was better to go back and rest early.

Wu Mengting still wanted to play, but seeing Chen Feng say so, she could only agree.

---

About half an hour later, the car drove back to Qingpu Town and first sent Lin Yujiao back.

As a result, as soon as they arrived at the entrance of her shop, they saw her ex-husband standing at the entrance of the shop, as well as three other elderly people.

Needless to say, it should be her parents and ex-mother-in-law.

This was really…

Chen Feng didn’t stop at the entrance of the shop immediately. He continued to drive forward. At the same time, he asked Lin Yujiao in the back seat, “You see it, right? Your ex-husband brought people to block you at the entrance of the shop. Do you want to get out of the car?”

Of course, Lin Yujiao also saw it. After struggling for a while, she asked, “Can you go over with me? You told my ex-husband yesterday that I was your boyfriend. You go over with me and let them give up.”

Wu Mengting in the passenger seat quickly said, “I think it’s better to hide from them first. If Brother Feng goes over with you, it might intensify the conflict. What if he gets into a fight with your ex-husband?”

Lin Yujiao didn’t refute Wu Mengting’s words, but just asked Chen Feng with a sullen face, “Brother Feng, do you think so too?”

Chen Feng didn’t answer her. Instead, he immediately turned on the turn signal, turned around directly, and the car quickly drove to the front of Yujiao’s clothing store and stopped.

Then, Chen Feng opened the car door first and got out of the car.

Lin Yujiao didn’t react for a moment. On the contrary, Wu Mengting was the second to get out of the car, following Chen Feng towards the four people at the entrance of the shop.

Only then did Li Yujiao wake up as if from a dream and quickly opened the car door to get out.

Waiting at the entrance of the shop were Xu Jun and his mother, as well as Lin Yujiao’s parents.

When Xu Jun saw Chen Feng appear, his face changed. Then he saw Wu Mengting getting out of the car together, and his eyes couldn’t help but light up. Just as he was guessing the relationship between Chen Feng and Wu Mengting, he saw his ex-wife Lin Yujiao getting out of the car, and his expression couldn’t help but change again.

Seeing his ex-wife and her current boyfriend appearing in pairs, he certainly didn’t feel good in his heart.

“Yujiao, why didn’t you answer my call?” When Lin’s mother saw her daughter appear, she was the first to scold her.

Her appearance was somewhat similar to her daughter’s, but she was very short, her lips were relatively thin, and she had some triangular eyes, which gave people a mean feeling.

“Alright. Now that we’ve met, let’s not fuss about it,” Lin’s father said to his daughter, trying to persuade her. He was quite handsome, about 1.75 meters tall, energetic, with a loud voice, and his hair was neatly combed.

Chen Feng took a few steps forward, stood in front of the two of them, and greeted them with a smile, “Uncle, Auntie, hello. I’m Yujiao’s boyfriend, my name is Chen Feng. It’s our first meeting, and I’m not prepared. I’m really sorry. Look, how about I treat you to a meal at the Yujing Grand Hotel in the county town? It’s the only five-star hotel in our county. It was just built last year. I went there last time, and the food was not bad.”

The Yujing Grand Hotel was the one where he had a buffet with Wu Mengting last time.
“Yujiao, is he really your boyfriend?” Lin’s father frowned and looked at Lin Yujiao.

Lin Yujiao quickly nodded and said, “Yes, Dad. We just confirmed our relationship a few days ago. I wanted to tell you, but I didn’t expect… this…”

Chen Feng interrupted her, “You go and open the shop door first. Let’s go in and talk. There are so many people.”

Seeing that there were passers-by looking at them, Lin’s mother quickly echoed, “Yes, let’s go in and talk.”

Hearing this, Lin Yujiao went to open the shop door, and several people filed in.

After hesitating for a moment, Wu Mengting also followed in last.

As soon as they entered the shop, Xu’s mother immediately said to Lin Yujiao with a pleading look on her face, “Yujiao, it’s all my fault. As long as you and Ah Jun remarry, I’ll agree to anything. I can move to my hometown in the countryside right away. In the future, without your permission, I will definitely not go to see you two. In addition, you can manage the money earned from the clothing store…”

“This auntie! Are you deaf?” Chen Feng interrupted Xu’s mother unceremoniously. “Yujiao has already divorced your son. They have no relationship anymore. She is my girlfriend now. Asking her to remarry your son, aren’t you kidding?”

Hearing Chen Feng’s words, Xu’s mother immediately became angry and started cursing, “You heartless person! You’ll get your retribution for breaking up a family!”

Chen Feng wasn’t angry either. He just chuckled and said, “You’re right. Breaking up a family will be met with retribution. But have you forgotten? You were the one who broke up your son and Yujiao’s marriage and family. If you hadn’t made things difficult for Yujiao everywhere, looked down on her everywhere, and finally encouraged your son to agree to divorce her, their small family would not have been broken up. Just as you said just now, it’s all your fault.”

These were the plain truths from Chen Feng, so they were very infuriating and hurtful.

Xu’s mother was so angry that her face turned pale and then white. She gasped for breath and couldn’t say a word in rebuttal.

Lin Yujiao said to Xu Jun, who was patting his mother’s back to calm her down, with a sullen face, “Xu Jun, it’s impossible for us. You really don’t have to keep pestering me. With your conditions, it shouldn’t be difficult to find someone better than me. It’s best to find someone who gets along with your mother and has a good temper.”

“Yujiao… can you give me a fair chance to pursue you again? I… I really like you.”

Xu Jun’s face was full of pleading, looking pitiful.

Lin Yujiao was completely unmoved. She frowned and said with a heavy tone, “Xu Jun, you’re really being meaningless. Even if I agree to remarry you, do you, a big mama’s boy, really have the heart to drive your mother to the countryside to live alone? And will your mother and I really bury the hatchet and have no hard feelings at all? Even never see each other again? This is all impossible. Besides, I have no feelings for you anymore. The endless quarrels in the past few years have already destroyed our feelings.”

Hearing this, Xu Jun’s eyes immediately turned red. He stood there at a loss, dejected.

Seeing her son like this, Xu’s mother immediately became a little agitated and said, “Yujiao, don’t you just want me to die? Then I’ll go out and get hit by a car right now. Let you and Ah Jun live in peace.”

As she spoke, Xu’s mother was about to rush out. Xu Jun was so scared that he quickly reached out and held her tightly, pleading, “Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? Don’t be like this.”

Lin Yujiao, on the other hand, had a calm face and said with a cold smile, “You’re always talking about dying. How old are you? Are you childish? Xu Jun, take your mother away. Don’t see me again in the future. I really don’t want to see you again.”

Lin Yujiao’s words made Xu’s mother’s face turn pale and then white again. This time, it was even harder to refute.

“Mom, let’s go first.”

Seeing his mother so angry, Xu Jun was also heartbroken. At the same time, he knew that this matter was impossible this time. It was a waste of effort. He decided to leave first.

Of course, Xu’s mother also knew that this matter could not be done this time. In fact, she was even secretly glad in her heart. If it really worked out, she would really have to move to the countryside in the future and live alone. That would be pitiful.

She couldn’t accept not being able to live with her son in the future.

If it weren’t for seeing her son’s dejected and miserable expression before, which was really pitiful, she wouldn’t have agreed to her son’s method of using a betrothal gift of two hundred thousand to buy off Lin Yujiao’s parents.

Now that this method seemed to be not working, not only did she save two hundred thousand, but she also didn’t have to be separated from her son. Of course, she was willing in her heart.

So, she went with the flow, nodded with a gloomy face, and walked out of the shop with her son’s support.

When they were about to reach the door, Xu Jun turned around and said to Lin Yujiao with a solemn face, “Yujiao, I won’t give up. As long as you’re not married for a day, I won’t give up.”

After saying that, he continued to support his mother and went out.

“This… what is all this!”

As soon as Xu Jun and his mother left, Lin’s mother began to sigh.

Lin’s father frowned and looked at his daughter, asking seriously, “Yujiao, you really don’t want to remarry Ah Jun? You’ve been in a relationship for so many years. I think you should still consider it carefully.”

Lin Yujiao shook her head with a stern face and said, “Dad, I really don’t want to have anything to do with him anymore.”

Lin’s mother said with some anger, “You child, Ah Jun is such a good person. Although his mother was wrong before, she, as an elder, has come to apologize to you in person. What more do you want? Do you really want her to kneel and kowtow to you to admit her mistake and plead bitterly?”

Lin Yujiao rolled her eyes at her mother and said unhappily, “Mom, if you’re persuading me to remarry because of the two hundred thousand betrothal gift, don’t blame me for not recognizing you in the future.”

Lin’s mother was immediately stunned. Lin’s father, on the other hand, scolded angrily, “What nonsense are you talking about? Mom and Dad are persuading you to remarry for your own good. You and Ah Jun have been together for so many years and know each other’s roots. It’s better than randomly finding someone unreliable, right?”

“Ahem, uncle, although I have many shortcomings, I think I’m still quite reliable.”

Chen Feng interrupted the family of three’s quarrel.

Lin’s father squinted his eyes and asked directly, “You say you’re reliable. Then when do you plan to marry my daughter? How much betrothal gift are you preparing? Is the wedding house ready?”

These words immediately stumped Chen Feng! This was really a fatal blow. What a master!

Lin Yujiao quickly came to the rescue, “Dad! We just confirmed our relationship a few days ago. How can we talk about marriage so early? Let us get to know each other slowly first. It’s not too late to talk about marriage after we get to know each other in the future.”

Lin’s father snorted coldly, “Get to know each other slowly? How long do you plan to get to know each other? How old are you this year? You’ll be twenty-eight after the New Year, and you’re still getting to know each other slowly? What if he’s just playing with you and dumps you when he’s tired of you? What will you do then?”

Chen Feng: “…”

Lin Yujiao: “…”
