Chapter 906: Missing a Wife

Night

The moonlight is like frost, and the cool wind blows...

Shazhu sat blankly at the dining table, silent as a piece of wood.

Jin Mu held a steamed bun in one hand and was busy using chopsticks to pick up chicken meat with the other, her mouth not idle either:

"Little He, don't just sit there without saying anything?"

"I'm asking you? When will you have the bride price ready?"

"I'll put the ugly words out here first; don't think I'm speaking harshly."

"Without a bride price of three hundred yuan, don't even think about letting Jin Lian enter your door."

Shazhu's eyes widened suddenly, suppressing the anger in his heart as he asked:

"Auntie! The bride price agreed upon was two hundred and forty yuan!"

"Why, why did you suddenly increase the price!"

Jin Mu ate a piece of chicken, spitting as she scolded Shazhu:

"You still have the nerve to ask me?"

"Look at what you've become now?"

"You're just a toilet cleaner! Are you worthy of my daughter!"

"My daughter is not only beautiful, but she also works at the Power Bureau."

"She has both looks and a job."

"Tell me, what do you have?"

"Relying on that face that's older than mine?"

"You're not even ashamed!"

"I'll put it this way!"

"Without a bride price of three hundred yuan, don't even think about marrying my daughter."

Jin Mu held her head high as she spoke, like an Empress Dowager marrying off a princess.

In reality, she was engaged in the business of selling her daughter, wanting to sell her for a good price.

Shazhu clenched his fists tightly and said in a muffled voice:

"Auntie, this marriage is for living a life."

"If you marry Jin Lian to me, I guarantee I will treat Jin Lian well with all my heart."

"I won't just treat Jin Lian well; I will also treat you with filial piety like my own mother."

Jin Mu said arrogantly: "Stop trying to fool me with sweet words! Don't look at how you're older than me! But I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice! You speak nicely now, but once my daughter marries over, it's hard to say if you'll even step into my house in the future."

Shazhu said excitedly: "Auntie! If you don't believe me, I'm willing to swear to heaven. If I say one false word, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"

Jin Peng sneered with disdain: "Shazhu, stop shouting here! Who doesn't know you're a piece of trash who steals things! The words you say and the oaths you make are no different from farting!"

Jin Mu said earnestly: "Little He! It's not that I don't believe your words; I know you're a good person, but people should be more practical. No matter how nicely you speak, it's not as real as cold, hard cash. I'm not deliberately making things difficult for you! Look at my family, the old are old, the young are young. I take medicine all year round, and Jin Peng doesn't have a job. We rely entirely on Jin Lian to support the family. If Jin Lian leaves, my family will have no income. You can't expect us to drink the northwest wind, right."

Jin Peng said arrogantly: "Mom, stop wasting your breath on him! A toilet cleaner who can't come up with the bride price shouldn't even think about marrying my sister! And stop coming to our house in the future!"

Jin Mu waved her hand impatiently: "Go, go, go. Adults are talking, why are you interrupting? Go outside and see if your sister is back yet."

Although Shazhu is just a poor toilet cleaner, his cooking skills are really quite good.

If Shazhu doesn't come to the house, where else can she find a stupid cook who doesn't cost money.

The leftovers Shazhu leaves from his private work are all sent to the Jin family.

Shazhu also comes to the house to cook every few days.

Ever since Jin Lian started dating Shazhu, the food in the house has clearly improved a lot.

Her mouth has almost been spoiled; otherwise, she wouldn't have kept Shazhu.

Her daughter dating a toilet cleaner—how shameful is that to say out loud.

Shazhu said aggrievedly: "Auntie! You also know that the bride price you want is really not small, and I really can't come up with it for a while."

Whether it's two hundred and forty yuan or three hundred yuan, it's not a small amount.

If it were before, he really wouldn't have taken it to heart.

Before, he was a head chef with a monthly salary of thirty-seven yuan and five cents!

Before, he also had the help of his godfather, Yi Zhonghai, who had a solid family foundation!

But now he has become a toilet cleaner, not only with a low salary but also owing external debts.

His godfather, Yi Zhonghai, is also not doing well; he has to use his savings to subsidize the Deaf Old Lady.

He has a salary, but he also has to eat, wear clothes, and pay off debts...

Making him come up with such a bride price would be difficult even in a year or two.

He can't wait that long.

He wishes he could enter the bridal chamber and have children with Jin Lian right now!

Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to please Jin Mu while carrying injuries on his body.

Wasn't it just to win Jin Mu's favor, hoping she could be merciful.

Ask for less bride price, or say don't ask for bride price first.

Let him marry Jin Lian home, and he can pay off the debt slowly in the future.

He really wants to live a life with a wife, children, and a warm bed.

Especially not long ago when the Xu family and the Jia family had a conflict.

Xu Rui hugged Xu Damao's leg and called him Dad. ===== CHAPTER 908 =====
