Chapter 699: The Mother Exploiting Her Daughter

"Mom, are you really not going to worship grandpa and grandma anymore?"

Song Xia's expression was cold: "When a person dies, it's like a light goes out. Worshipping is just for psychological comfort. They are too greedy. It doesn't matter if they don't worship. Anyway, your grandparents were not kind to me back then. I was filial to them when I was alive. No one can kidnap me now."

Wei Deng sincerely admired his mother's strong mental quality. No wonder she didn't feel any burden when she was cruel to him at the beginning.

After returning to the provincial capital, the mother and son spent a comfortable and happy New Year. Wei Deng ate the fruits in the fruit plate with satisfaction. He was not bragging, not only his mother's cooking was delicious, but even the fruits she bought were better than those bought by others, especially crisp and sweet, but not choking.

But he didn't know that the fruits his mother displayed were all grown by the system spirit in the space, and there were many varieties that did not exist in this world, but Song Xia just didn't take them out.

A new space, free of pollution, naturally unique.

On the other hand, Wei Zhu who went to visit Zhuang Bo's home did not feel uncomfortable at all. Zhuang Bo's father was very kind to her. He kept the room for her spotless and even the sheets and quilt covers were brand new, which showed how much he valued her.

After she came, the relatives of the Zhuang family came one after another with red envelopes and praised her to the sky.

Zhuang Bo's aunt even held her brother's hand and cried privately: "Wei Zhu is a good child, big brother, you don't have to worry about this in the future."

Zhuang's father had a constant smile on his honest face: "Yes, with our family's conditions, I was worried that he wouldn't be able to find a wife, but I didn't expect him to bring back such a good one, and he doesn't dislike our family at all."

"Don't be so self-deprecating. Our Xiao Bo is not bad either. I heard that they were college classmates?"

"Yes! Xiaobo said that they met in the examination room."

Aunt Zhuang's eyes lit up: "Wei Zhu also passed the exam?"

"I've passed the written test, so I'll just have to wait for the interview next year."

"Good, good, good." Aunt Zhuang said three good words in a row, "In the future, both of you will have jobs, and things will definitely get better and better. Sister-in-law will feel at ease down there."

"I'm just afraid of wronging Miss Wei Zhu. With our family's financial situation, we can't even come up with the money for a down payment."

"Brother, don't be too anxious. They are young people with great potential and will eventually own a house."

"But Xiaobo said that when they get married, Wei Zhu's mother will give them 400,000 yuan, but our family can't afford it. Isn't this a disadvantage for the girl's family?"

"Four hundred thousand!" Aunt Zhuang was shocked, and then other relatives and neighbors heard it. Then the news slowly spread, and they all said that Zhuang Bo was so lucky to have found a girlfriend who was both rich and beautiful.

Then it was as if she had forgotten all the bad things she had said about Zhuang Boxing, and instead started praising him for his abilities. She even went to Wei Zhu and asked her in a roundabout way if she had any unmarried friends or classmates, or any other relatives' sisters, who all had boys with good conditions in their families.

Zhuang Bo looked at Wei Zhu with an apologetic look on his face: "Maybe my dad let it slip. Wei Zhu, don't mind it."

"It's okay." Wei Zhu didn't take it to heart, because even if Zhuang's father was deliberately showing off, she had already decided on Zhuang Bo, and Zhuang Bo would definitely not treat her badly in the future.

"And if those relatives and neighbors ask you to introduce someone, just ignore them. I've already told them." Zhuang Bo was really angry. When these people heard that there was no gift and such a generous dowry, they came up to him like a cat smelling fish. He was able to be with Wei Zhu because of the right time, right place and right people. Did he think that anyone could find someone as good as Wei Zhu? Wei Zhu smiled slightly: "I don't have anyone to introduce me to. It's not a big deal to just listen to what they say."

Zhuang Bo sighed softly. His Wei Zhu was so reasonable, gentle and kind. If it were any other woman, she would have been unable to bear it long ago after being harassed like this. However, she remained emotionally stable, afraid that their family would have unpleasantness with relatives and neighbors, so she always kept smiling.

"But I can't let you suffer any injustice. I just told my father and aunt that I will never let you go through this again."

"It's really nothing. Don't offend us too much."

"What kind of offense is this? They were the ones who didn't care about it first."

After dinner, Mr. Zhuang and Aunt Zhuang specially apologized for these two things, leaving Wei Zhu at a loss.

"Don't be nervous. It's our fault." Aunt Zhuang held Wei Zhu's hand and took out the 50,000 yuan that her husband had just taken out from her bag. "I don't have much ability. This is my little token of my appreciation for your upcoming family."

Wei Zhu quickly stood up and declined: "Aunt, I can't accept this."

"Here, this money has been prepared long ago."

Wei Zhu refused while looking at Zhuang Bo for help. Zhuang Bo was also surprised. Fifty thousand yuan is not a small amount of money. His aunt's family is not well off, so it is not easy to save up the money.

So Zhuang Bo also joined the group of people who were trying to refuse: "Aunt, Wei Zhu is right. We can't accept it."

In fact, the money shop aunt had originally planned to give it to them on the day of their wedding, but if she hadn't made such a loud noise and caused all these things, she wouldn't have put Wei Zhu in a difficult position, so she let her husband take it immediately.

"Take it." Uncle Zhuang said, "This is a little gift from us as the elders. When your aunt and I separated, we almost had no food to eat. If it weren't for my eldest brother and sister-in-law, we wouldn't know how many detours we would have taken. Do you think 50,000 is too little?"

"of course not."

"If not, just take it."

"Here you go." Mr. Zhuang sighed and took out the passbook he had prepared long ago. "There is 100,000 yuan in it. The password is your birthday."

Zhuang Bo's eyes were red, he knew that when his mother passed away, the family had no money left and his father didn't have any special abilities, how could he save 100,000 yuan in two years? He didn't know how much hardship his father had endured, probably he worked outside after farming and never had a day of rest.

"Wei Zhu, our family is not well off, but we can't let you down. Don't worry, your uncle is not old yet, and he can still work for many more years. If you are missing, your uncle will slowly make up for it in the future."

"Nothing, nothing." Wei Zhu was choking up in her heart. Zhuang Bo's father, aunt, and uncle were all too honest. "Zhuang Bo and I are together because I like him. If we need anything, we can work hard on our own. I really can't accept this money."

She knew that it was not easy for rural people to save money, just like her family in the past. If it weren't for her mother's cooking skills, they would be worse off than Zhuang Bo's family! It was only in the past two years that things got a little better.

"Even if you don't want to take it, we have to give it to you." Seeing that she really didn't want it, Zhuang's father stuffed it into his son Zhuang Bo's hands and said, "You must be nice to Wei Zhu in the future, otherwise your aunt and I will not forgive you."

Zhuang Bo was speechless, but just nodded heavily. He took the money and savings because he knew that the less he took, the more uneasy his father and aunt would be.
