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

Sijun held Manxian's arm and said, "Of course not half, all of yours belongs to me!"

Man Xian pushed Sijun's hand away, turned her back, and tears kept falling.

Sijun didn't know how to comfort her because he didn't understand why Manxian was crying.

He was silent, watching Man Xian crying quietly, at a loss as to what to do.

A few minutes later, Man Xian said, "At our engagement party this afternoon, my mother said something that made me very sad."

"What did your mother say?..."

"She said, 'I'm finally married.' But I did get married in the end, and she couldn't see me often from then on."

"Yes, all parents in the world feel the same. Parents will definitely be reluctant to let their daughter get married," said Sijun.

"So, I went to the bathroom in the middle of the meeting because I couldn't help crying after hearing what she said. I was afraid that everyone would see me, so I had to run to the bathroom to wipe my tears."

Sijun grabbed Manxian's arm again: "Don't be sad, I will often accompany you home in the future."

"I just said that now only half of me belongs to you."

"I understand. Tomorrow I will ask my parents to transfer the other half of the betrothal gift to you as well."

After saying that, Sijun hugged Manxian tightly.

"Come walk with me." Man Xian said.

The two of them walked and chatted slowly step by step in the community under the moonlight.

Time passed quickly and it was already very late. Manxian sent Sijun to the bus and returned home.

When Sijun returned home, it was already half past ten in the evening. He went to his grandmother's room.

Grandma was already a little confused and was mumbling nonsense.

Sijun's father shook his head helplessly, and Sijun was also extremely sad.

The next morning, Sijun informed his parents of Manxian's request.

"Actually, I had expected this. She must have felt that we had already paid such a small amount for the bride price, yet we didn't even pay it all in one go. So she must have been very unhappy," said Sijun's father.

Sijun's mother looked disdainful, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and said: "It's good enough to be able to give these. Look at those rural girls who married into the city. They are so happy that they can't wait to care about how much money they have? They also care about when the money will arrive? How much money will arrive? So I think this girl values ​​money so much, she will definitely not be a good person in the future."

Sijun said nothing, just lowered his head and ate his meal in silence.

Sijun's father said, "There is nothing we can do. We have come to this point and can only send the remaining half. I hope the girl can understand our good intentions! To be honest, we are willing to give such a high betrothal gift, which has shown us the greatest sincerity."

After breakfast, Sijun's father transferred the remaining half of the betrothal money to Manxian's mother's account.

Sijun called Manxian to tell her about this, and Manxian immediately agreed to go to Sijun's house for New Year's Eve dinner two weeks later.

In Man Xian's heart, of course, she felt that the amount of the bride price was not too much. After all, the custom in her hometown was to start at 30. She had become the cheapest girl in her family and even in the entire village.

Two weeks passed in a flash, and New Year's Eve arrived. Manxian arrived as promised, had New Year's Eve dinner with Sijun's family, and watched the Spring Festival Gala for a while.

That night, Sijun's grandmother was relatively clear-headed. She got up and sat at the dining table with everyone, even though she could not eat much.

Manxian took the initiative to hold Sijun's grandmother's hand. Sijun's grandmother held Manxian's hand tightly and was reluctant to let go for a long time.

She couldn't utter a word, but held Man Xian's hand tightly.

Manxian raised her glass with her other hand and wanted to clink glasses with Sijun's grandmother.

Grandma let go of Manxian's hand and picked up her cup tremblingly.

The two men clinked their glasses and drank the drinks in them.

After eating the New Year’s Eve dinner, Sijun’s grandmother was exhausted. Seeing this, Sijun’s father hurriedly helped the old lady back to her room to lie down and rest.

Manxian and Sijun were not in the mood to watch the Spring Festival Gala, so they went to Sijun's room to chat.

As the two were chatting, they hugged each other tightly and then kissed passionately.

Soon, the two of them fell on the bed, lying sideways facing each other, looking at each other's faces quietly.

"I really wish you could stay with me tonight," Sijun said.

Man Xian smiled and said, "I can stay with you, but are you embarrassed? Do you think you are embarrassed to let your traditional parents know?"

Sijun did feel embarrassed. His parents were very traditional. Even though he and Manxian were engaged, they were not officially husband and wife yet. He really didn't dare to let Manxian stay overnight.

The two of them cuddled for a while, then Man Xian got up, put on her clothes and prepared to go home. Her brother had already driven over to pick her up.

Sijun sent Manxian downstairs. Manxian came to his grandmother's room. The old lady was a little unconscious and didn't react when she saw Manxian.

After visiting Sijun’s grandmother, Manxian walked out of Sijun’s house, got into her brother’s car, and waved goodbye to Sijun.

As for Sijun, his dearest grandmother passed away as expected more than a month after this New Year’s Eve dinner.

Sijun was very sad. He immediately asked for leave to go home and told Manxian the news of his grandmother's death.

Manxian quickly comforted Sijun and submitted a leave application to the department director.

The two of them agreed to set out together, and it was almost noon when they returned to Sijun's home.

Sijun saw his grandmother lying on a small wooden bed in the living room of his home, and her expression was particularly peaceful.

When Sijun's parents and relatives saw Sijun and his family coming back, and thought it was the last time Sijun saw his grandmother, they decided to cover his grandmother's face.

They invited Sijun to come to his grandmother and take a last close look at her.

Sijun turned his back, shook his head, and said softly, "No need, just cover it."

Sijun's father then covered Sijun's grandmother's face.

Man Xian was beside Sijun, gently holding his hand, stroking his hand and comforting him.

Manxian knew that Sijun didn't want to see his grandmother again because he was afraid that he would cry. He was very shy and felt embarrassed to cry in public.

At lunch time, Manxian said goodbye to Sijun, his family and relatives, and she was going home for lunch.

Grandma's funeral was scheduled for the next day. Manxian promised Sijun that she would come early the next morning and send grandma off with Sijun.

After Manxian left, Sijun's mother looked at Manxian and said to Sijun, "This girl has performed quite well this time. I will ask for leave as soon as I hear from you and come back with you."

Sijun said: "Yes, she had a lot of things to do. When she received my call, she immediately asked for leave, put down everything she was doing and came back with me."

"That's as she should be. The death of an old man is a big deal. As your daughter-in-law, she should do this."
