Chapter 54: Two Hundred Thousand Dowry
"Chang Ying!" Cui Changjia was surprised and excited, "When did you come back?"
She was really surprised. After all, when she went to see Chang Yuanliang, she made him very angry. Could it be that her words worked?
Chang Ying is cute and well-behaved, with long black hair. She used to have a bit of baby fat, but when I saw her again this time, she had become thinner with a pointed chin.
"I arrived in the state capital in the evening."
As soon as Chang Ying arrived in the state capital and put down her luggage, she hurried over.
Jiang Hongying stood up and said, "Xiaoying, don't leave tonight. You sleep on Jiajia's bed, and Jiajia, you sleep on your brother's side."
"Auntie, I just came back. I'd better go back and stay here some other day." Chang Ying had just seen that Cui Changjia's house was only 40-something square meters in total. It was so small that it was inconvenient to turn around. If she stayed here any longer, it would be even more inconvenient for the Cui family to take care of her.
"Mom, Chang Ying and I are going out for a drink. You should go to bed first."
The old town has its own advantages. It has complete living facilities. Since there is a big hospital nearby, it is not bad here. There are two hamburger restaurants open until the early morning.
Jiang Hongying knew that Cui Changjia and Chang Ying were close friends, so she didn't stop them at all and let them go on their own. When there were elders around, no matter how familiar they were, the children couldn't let go.
As soon as he left the house, Cui Changjia couldn't wait to ask, "Did Uncle Chang bring you back?"
"Yes, I said I wanted to come back several times before, but he wouldn't let me come back. I don't know what happened this time, but he actually took the initiative to arrange for someone to bring me back," Chang Ying smiled bitterly, "Chang Jia, you don't know, I thought my dad would never let me come back again."
It seems that what Cui Changjia and Chang Yuanliang said took effect. Cui Changjia held Chang Ying's hand, feeling sad and silent.
In the previous life, Cui Changjia finally found out about Chang Ying after many twists and turns. She had been at her aunt's house for more than a year without a job, and had been serving her aunt's family. Later, her aunt found a family for her, received a large sum of money as a gift, and married her off.
The family that Aunt Chang Ying found for her seemed nice on the surface, but in fact Chang Ying's husband was very unfaithful. He would hang out outside every other day and basically never came home.
Chang Ying's mother-in-law also complained that Chang Ying could not hold her husband's heart and had no children. Chang Ying was depressed and eventually got breast cancer. It was discovered too late and she did not receive good treatment, so she died early.
Chang Ying, her best friend, the kind-hearted, well-behaved, cute girl who didn't know how to resist, was tortured to death by his family!
When they were about to leave the community, Cui Changjia took a deep breath and cheered up, "I'll take you to see the car I bought."
Chang Ying was surprised, "You bought a car?"
"Yes."
Chang Ying was very happy. "Okay, Cui Changjia, it's only been a few days since we last met, and you've changed so much! Come on, take me to see you!"
Cui Changjia never drove her broken van out of the community. She always parked it on the curb outside the community.
When Chang Ying saw the broken van, her eyes almost popped out, "Is this the car you bought?"
"How about it?"
Chang Ying walked around the car twice, reached out and touched the body of the car, then touched the mismatched rearview mirror, and nodded heavily, "Good, very good!"
Cui Changjia smiled and said, "I think it's great too. I can poop a lot."
"Wow, Cui Changjia, you are so awesome!" Chang Ying praised and laughed happily.
There was no hint of mockery towards Cui Changjia in her voice or tone.
When you are sad, I will be sad with you; when you are happy, I will be happy with you. In this world, perhaps only true friends can do this!
Cui Changjia took out the key and opened the car door, then said to Chang Ying, "Come on, I'll take you for a ride." "Can you do it?" Chang Ying expressed her doubt, "Sister, how did you get your driver's license? I know it very well!"
"Just say whether you want to go or not."
"Go, of course!"
The wind on that November night was very cold, but both of them opened the windows and let the cold wind blow through.
Chang Ying turned her head to look at Cui Changjia. Cui Changjia was really different. She was no longer timid, cowardly, or depressed. She was full of confidence and sharpness. What she didn't expect was that after such a short time not seeing her, her driving skills had improved so much. It was great. She was happy for her good friend!
"Ahhh!"
Chang Ying suddenly put her hands to her mouth to make a trumpet shape and shouted outside. Occasionally passers-by looked at the moving van!
Cui Changjia was startled and pulled her into the car by her clothes, "You are sick, Chang Ying!"
Unexpectedly, Chang Ying hadn’t finished shouting yet.
"Who's afraid? I can live my life in peace and tranquility!"
Cui Changjia couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand, he was crazy!
But super happy!
After yelling twice, Chang Ying returned to normal. She turned to Cui Changjia and said firmly, "Changjia, don't worry. I will definitely convince my father to help you."
"No, I'll tell you a secret. Our new factory will be ready for production soon. We don't need Uncle Chang's help."
Cui Changjia has been keeping the matter of factory construction a secret. She doesn't trust anyone except her family, but Chang Ying is an exception!
"Ah, your family built a new factory?"
"If you don't believe me, how about I take you to the factory to have a look?"
“So, they are really opening a new factory?”
"It couldn't be more true, so don't say anything in front of Uncle Chang. Uncle Chang has helped us enough, don't cause him any more trouble."
"But my dad is rich." Chang Ying felt sad. "It was Uncle Cui who gave my mom the money for surgery, which allowed her to live a few more years."
Many years ago, her mother fell ill and needed surgery. At that time, her father's business was just starting out and he had no money at all. Just when the family was about to give up on treating her mother, it was Uncle Cui who sent her 5,000 yuan.
Five thousand yuan at that time was not just a number. Money was so hard to earn back then!
Cui Changjia was silent for a while and said, "Uncle Chang has already given you the 5,000 yuan. Don't keep it in your heart. Uncle Chang has tried his best and it's already very good. When the new factory starts production and there is income, things will be fine soon."
"Changjia, no matter what, you still have to tell me if you have any difficulties. At worst, I can ask my father for my dowry. Anyway, he said that he would give me at least 200,000 yuan as a dowry!"
He didn't think so before, but now when he heard Chang Ying say that her father would give her a dowry of 200,000 yuan when she got married, Cui Changjia just felt it was particularly ironic.
I dare not say how much assets Chang Yuanliang has, but it is definitely at least 20 million. He only gave his own daughter a dowry of 200,000 when she got married.
Cui Changjia smiled and said, "I know you've gone through fire and water for me and you're willing to do anything, but I also hope that you can live a good life. Our family's difficulties cannot be solved with 100,000 or 200,000 yuan. Fortunately, we now have a clue, and we won't be afraid when the business gets back on track."
Listening to Cui Changjia's unhurried and well-organized analysis, Chang Ying felt that this was not quite the same as the Cui Changjia she knew. But then she thought that Cui Changjia had been busy with family matters recently, so it was possible that he was not quite the same as before.
Then, Chang Ying put the thought aside and said, "I'll go to the hospital to see Brother Xiuyuan tomorrow."
