Leaving her weird mother-in-law and husband, she became a wealthy woman on her own

During the weekend, Sijun returned home and his mother asked him if he could confirm his marriage with Manxian. Sijun nodded affirmatively.

Meanwhile, Manxian's mother was busy arranging her daughter's wedding with her aunt. Manxian's aunt and Sijun's mother would talk on the phone several times a day, exchanging details with each other.

Sijun's parents were still somewhat hesitant. After all, Manxian's previous behavior regarding the bride price, which they considered to be "unreasonable", had already greatly reduced their regard for Manxian.

"This girl means very little to me, but since the child is satisfied, let's do it!" This is all they can say.

Sijun came to Manxian's home as promised, carrying a bag of fruit and a box of nuts that both children and adults loved to eat.

Manxian's younger brother has married and has a daughter. Manxian's mother holds her granddaughter at the door to greet Sijun.

Sijun put down the gift and saw Manxian's father walking out of the house. This was the first time Sijun met Manxian's father.

He hurriedly greeted Manxian's father, but for some reason, he felt that Manxian seemed particularly nervous.

Man Xian grabbed Si Jun and led him to the bathroom.

Sijun asked her with a confused look on his face: "What's wrong with you... You were fine just now, why are you suddenly so nervous?"

Man Xian stammered, "No...no...I'm not nervous...I just want to tell you, uh...wash your hands quickly, it's time to eat."

Sijun smiled silly and nodded, quickly washing his hands. Then, Manxian pulled Sijun to the dining table.

We are having hotpot tonight. Sijun and Manxian’s families will enjoy the steaming delicious food together.

Sijun felt somewhat nervous being with so many people in the family, including Manxian's parents, younger brother, sister-in-law, unmarried sister, and his brother's lovely daughter.

Man Xian seemed to notice Sijun's nervousness. She secretly held Sijun's hand under the table, interlocked their five fingers together, and then gently rubbed the back of his hand with her fingers.

Sijun gradually relaxed and was able to chat calmly with Manxian's family.

Sijun is a big foodie. Tonight's hotpot is especially to his liking, so he eats it with relish.

Manxian was also very happy, bringing her boyfriend home for the first time to have dinner with her family. The long-term hard work outside made her cherish the opportunity to reunite with her family even more.

Sijun carefully observed Manxian's father, who was eating hard and didn't say anything.

Sijun felt very confused as to why Manxian was so nervous when she saw him meeting her father just now.

Soon, everyone put the hot pot ingredients on the table into the pot little by little and ate them all.

At this time, Manxian's father spoke and asked Sijun when they could get engaged so that their family could be prepared.

Sijun said, "Let her aunt decide. She is the matchmaker and is responsible for deciding the date with my parents."

Manxian's father nodded, said "OK", and stopped talking. He just sat in his seat and picked his teeth seriously.

After dinner, Manxian walked Sijun downstairs and walked him out of the community. Sijun took the bus home by himself.

As the two of them walked along the road in the neighborhood, Sijun said, "Your family is pretty nice, very down-to-earth, and they don't talk much. You know me, I don't like those who talk too much."

Man Xian said, "I asked you to come this time just because I want you to meet my family formally, and also, I want to know when your family plans to get us engaged. Because according to our customs, the girl's family also needs to make some preparations if we are engaged."

"Do you need us to prepare anything? I'll talk to my mom."

"You don't have to tell her. My aunt will definitely tell your mother."

The two walked to the bus stop, and Man Xian said, "Go home. You've been very busy during this period. Go back and rest early."

"Okay, you too." Sijun kissed Manxian, and Manxian turned around and walked back to the community.

......

According to Aunt Manxian's request, Sijun's mother prepared all the items needed for the engagement according to the customs of the girl's family.

Three days before the engagement, Manxian received a call from Sijun, who asked her what to do with the betrothal gift: should she give it on the day of the engagement or wait until the wedding? Should she give half of it first or pay it off in one lump sum?

Man Xian was very angry and said, "That's what my aunt told you! Ask her yourself!"

Sijun said, "Your aunt said to give half when you get engaged, and then pay the other half when you get married."

Man Xian sneered: "Humph! All right! Then let's do as my aunt says!"

After saying that, Man Xian hung up the phone.

Sijun was at a loss. He didn't understand why Manxian was so angry.

He called his mother and told her what had happened.

Sijun's mother said, "This girl has a really bad temper. You're going to get engaged in three days. You have to think carefully about whether you want to marry this girl. With her temper, you won't be comfortable with her in the future. Think carefully!"

Sijun didn’t know what to say, he just told his mother to communicate with Aunt Manxian again to find out what the girl’s family meant.

Sijun was a little unhappy and asked his mother to tell Manxian's aunt to find out what the girl's family thought and not to act on her own.

The next day, Manxian's aunt reported back that everything had been discussed and the man only needed to pay half of the betrothal gift, which was 8 yuan, on the engagement day.

Sijun contacted Manxian and told her the situation. This time Manxian was not angry, but seemed rather indifferent.

The engagement ceremony finally arrived. Both families were relatively low-key and only set up two tables for the banquet, which was held at noon.

The whole process was generally enjoyable. Man Xian looked at her future husband, who was wearing a handsome suit, and felt quite happy.

After the engagement banquet, Sijun went home with his parents and said goodbye to Manxian.

Manxian and her family still stayed in the hotel. According to custom, the engagement banquet was paid for by the bride and the groom's family was invited to come with the items needed for the engagement, so Manxian's parents were responsible for paying the bill.

Sijun followed his parents home. On the way home, his parents, especially his mother, sat with serious faces and did not say a word.

Sijun felt very strange. Everything was fine at the dinner table just now. His parents and the girl's parents were all talking and laughing. Why was the atmosphere so solemn and their faces so ugly now? What was going on?

Sijun didn't dare to ask. After all, the person in charge of driving was a relative, an outsider to their family, and it was not convenient to ask about this in front of outsiders.

When Sijun got home, his mother immediately said to him angrily, "This girl named Manxian, your fiancée, is so arrogant! She is really too much!!!"
