Chapter 51: Asking for a Dowry

"Ajue, when you are free at work, you must review well." Shen Yunxiu still reminded Meng Jue to review well.

She also planned to ask Meng Jue any questions she had during review.

In this way, Meng Jue can not only help himself review, but he can also learn and review some knowledge from it.

"Let's talk about this later. You should come home with me first. Your parents and your eldest brother and sister-in-law are making a fuss." Meng Jue said in a slightly irritated tone.

Shen Yunxiu was still thinking about how to review when she suddenly heard Meng Jue's words. For a moment, she felt like her head was buzzing.

"what happened?"

"My uncle and aunt came to discuss the dowry with my parents early in the morning. They asked for 5000 yuan as a dowry, and also wanted three turns and one ring plus a TV. Your brother and sister-in-law not only want a job for you, but also want my dad to arrange a job for your brother in the food factory..."

Originally, Meng Jue discussed with his father overnight about rescuing Shen Yunxiu.

But early in the morning, Shen Yunxiu's parents and brother and sister-in-law came, and as soon as they sat down, they started talking loudly, and their tone was very matter-of-fact and aggressive.

Only his parents were at the Meng family. If it weren't for the need to rescue Shen Yunxiu as soon as possible, Meng Jue would be at home helping his parents.

But considering that Shen Yunxiu was detained in the Public Security Bureau, and thinking that Shen Yunxiu might be able to convince her parents, Meng Jue hurried to the Public Security Bureau.

"So, you have to come back with me and have a good talk with your uncle, aunt, and your brother and sister-in-law."

"We will give you the betrothal gift and the three transfers and one ring. After all, you are going to marry into the Meng family. We are a respectable family and will not treat you unfairly. However, this 5000 yuan betrothal gift and the demands they made are too much..."

After coming out of the Public Security Bureau, Shen Yunxiu sat on the back seat of Meng Jue's bicycle and listened to Meng Jue's words as she walked towards Meng's house.

In the back seat, Shen Yunxiu clenched her hands tightly, and even her eyes turned red with anger.

They, how dare they!
How dare you be so presumptuous and go straight to the Meng family.

Don't they know that by going to the Meng family and making a scene, asking for a dowry and a job, she will be the one who loses the most face in the end and will also have the hardest job?

She might even be looked down upon by Meng's parents.

Her situation in the Meng family will be difficult from now on.

Didn't they think of this?
No, they could think of it.

But they don't care.

Be it her parents, or her brother, sister-in-law and younger brother, none of them care about Shen Yunxiu.

They had no feelings for her, they just used her.

He just wanted to lie on top of her and suck her blood.

She had already realized this in her previous life, hadn't she?

She didn't come home for several days and they didn't come out to look for her.

She was detained and no family member came to visit her or help her.

When she encountered difficulties, her family members all avoided her and treated her like a piece of worn-out cloth, but when they needed her, they came to suck her blood like grasshoppers.

Why, even after she was reborn, she tried so hard to find opportunities for herself and strive for happiness.

Why does her family always hold her back?

Could it be that they just couldn't bear to see her doing well?

Just because she is a daughter, is she destined to be inferior to her two useless brothers and younger brother, or even to her sister-in-law?
Shen Yunxiu hated it.

Sometimes she wished all these people were dead.

At least they wouldn't hold her back.

Of course, it would be better if their death could be like that of Shen Yunshu’s parents, that is, her uncle and aunt.

Even if they die, they can still leave behind the value of protecting her, how wonderful it is. So, why don't they die?

Is it because the disaster has lasted for thousands of years?

On the way, Shen Yunxiu kept thinking of various ways to get away from her original family, and it would be best to break away from them completely.

Before they knew it, they had arrived at the slum where the Meng family lived.

This large compound is welfare housing for the food factory, and all the people living in it are the factory workers.

The largest bungalow in this compound belongs to the Meng family.

Scholar Shen Yun followed Meng Jue and barely entered the slum.

She could hear her mother and sister-in-law shouting and cursing from afar.

After hearing those words clearly, Shen Yunxiu felt the veins on her forehead throbbing and her scalp was numb.

"Your Meng Jue kidnapped my only daughter. Shouldn't he give me an explanation? They haven't even gotten married yet."

"My daughter Yunxiu was originally an innocent girl, but now she has slept with your Meng Jue before getting married, and she is pregnant. Is it wrong for me to ask for a higher bride price?"

"Your Meng family is a big family, and my father-in-law is in charge of an entire food factory. The entire food factory belongs to him. It's nothing to give 5000 yuan as a betrothal gift. It's just a matter of a word from my father-in-law to arrange a job for my eldest son."

"I heard that your Meng family has always been a family of only one son, and my daughter is pregnant with your family's only grandson."

"Anyway, I have laid out my conditions here. If you can't do it, I will immediately abort the baby in Yunxiu's belly. I will marry Yunxiu to an old widower rather than to your Meng Jue!"

"..."

When Shen Yunxiu got closer, she saw her father standing behind her mother without saying anything.

Her brother and sister-in-law supported her mother. Her mother, Yao Cuiyu, was standing not far from the Meng family's entrance with her hands on her hips, saying these ugly and threatening words to Meng's mother who was standing at the door.

Mother Meng was so angry that her chest kept heaving. She pointed at Yao Cuiyu and couldn't say a word.

Shen Yunxiu and Meng Jue's entry was soon seen by the people in the compound.

It was also noticed by her good sister-in-law Lu Yuzhao.

So he whispered something in her mother's ear.

Soon, Shen Yunxiu saw her mother walking towards her quickly.

Then she grabbed her arm and cried miserably, "Xiu Xiu, you are finally back. You have to stand up for me. The Meng family is going too far."

"My requests are not excessive."

After saying that, Yao Cuiyu looked at Meng Jue who was standing aside, and asked directly, "Meng Jue, good son-in-law, you should persuade your parents, why are they so unkind."

"Tell me, did you sleep with our Xiuxiu before you got married?"

"Now our Xiuxiu is pregnant with your child."

"Meng Jue, you have to take up this responsibility. The betrothal gift, the three transfers and one ring, and the work must all be in place. Otherwise, I will stand up for my daughter and go to the Women's Federation and the Public Security Bureau to sue you for being a hooligan to my daughter."

"You'll end up in jail, and you might even have to eat peanuts."

"..."

Yao Cuiyu had just used threats and inducements to attack Meng's mother, and now she used the same tactics against Meng Jue.

Shen Yunxiu felt like her head was about to explode when she heard this.

The whispers of the people around him also reached Shen Yunxiu's ears one by one...
