On the night the Shanghai socialite accompanied the military officer, he broke his vow.

Chapter 49 Why!
Regarding the wedding banquet, Song Jinyue and Fu Sinian had already discussed it and decided not to hold a big one, but just invite a few friends over for a meal to celebrate.

After leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau, the couple found a phone booth and called home to tell their families about getting their marriage certificate.

Although Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu were very reluctant to part with her, they were also happy that Song Jinyue had found someone she could entrust her life to.

When talking to Song Jinyue, the two of them were always smiling and giving each other advice, as if they had endless things to say.

But as soon as Fu Sinian answered the phone, Fifth Uncle's attitude instantly became serious.

"Although I don't know what methods you used to get Yue to agree to get married so quickly, now that you've married her, you have to shoulder the responsibilities of a husband."

"Don't think you can bully Yue just because we're not around. If I find out Yue has been wronged by you, I'll immediately go to Qiongzhou Island..."

"Old man, it's the 772nd Regiment."

Fearing that Uncle Wu might mispronounce someone's name again, Aunt Wu quickly spoke up to remind him.

"I'll rush to the 772nd Regiment immediately to get justice for my daughter Yue!"

"Uncle and Aunt, don't worry. I will definitely treat Yueyue well in the future and will not let her suffer any grievances."

With a solemn expression, Fu Sinian made a promise to his fifth uncle and fifth aunt.

Fifth Uncle and Fifth Aunt exchanged a glance and continued, "Yue'er is still young. We've spoiled her since she was little, so she has a bit of a temper. Please bear with her."

Fu Sinian glanced at Song Jinyue, who was eavesdropping beside him, and a faint smile appeared in his eyes.

"No, it's getting better and better."

"Your fifth aunt and I have been through this before, and we know that it's inevitable that friction will arise when two people live together."

"If one day your relationship with Yue is worn away by the trivialities of life, please don't make things difficult for her. We will go and bring her back."

"We only have this one granddaughter, and we can't bear to let her suffer even the slightest harm."

Fifth Uncle spoke earnestly, even making plans for Song Jinyue's future that he didn't know about.

Fu Sinian pursed his lips. "Fifth Uncle, don't worry, that day will never come."

-

After calling his fifth uncle and aunt, Fu Sinian called the Fu family again, without saying much, just to inform them that he had gotten his marriage certificate today.

Afterwards, he went to the department store with Song Jinyue to buy ingredients for the dinner party that night.

Fu Sinian's calm remark caused an uproar in the Fu family.

After learning that Fu Sinian and Song Jinyue had already registered their marriage, Tang Wanhua sat on the sofa with Grandma Fu and started discussing the bride price.

“The bride price hasn’t changed much in the last two years. Like my eldest, second, and fourth sons, I’ll give Yueyue 800 yuan as a bride price. She and Si Nian are currently far away on Qiongzhou Island. I plan to give them the three turns and one ring and the 72-legged furniture in cash.”

"Based on current market prices, a piece of furniture with 72 legs would cost 605 yuan. A Flying Pigeon bicycle, a Butterfly sewing machine, a Beijing watch, and a Peony radio would all cost a total of 690 yuan."

"Including the bride price, the total is 2095 yuan."

As Tang Wanhua spoke, she calculated that the bride price, the "three turns and one sound" (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument), and furniture were all allocated equally to the four daughters-in-law.

When the fourth son got married, the bride price was 800 yuan, and when the eldest and second sons got married, the bride price was 600 yuan. Fearing that this would cause conflicts between the sisters-in-law, Tang Wanhua later made up the 200 yuan difference.

She prides herself on being able to treat everyone fairly, to the point that no one can find fault with her.

When they heard that she was going to give Song Jinyue 800 yuan as a bride price, plus the three watches, one radio, and 72-legged furniture in cash, the three daughters-in-law naturally had no objections.

Fourth brother's wife, Xie Yiran, yawned.

She can decide how much money to give her third sister-in-law herself; there's no need to call them all over to listen.

Anyway, it's all my parents' money, so they can decide what to do with it themselves. Ye Sangning, the second son's wife, thought the same way. Although it was a day off, she figured it was better to go back to the research institute and do more research than to stay home and do these household chores.

Shen Jiaxue appeared calm on the surface, but her hands on her lap were already clenched into fists.

She knew Lin Shuangyue was a useless idiot!

Even after reporting it to the police, they still couldn't stop Fu Sinian from marrying Song Jinyue.

She must be out of her mind to believe what that stupid cousin said.

She had been hoping for nothing.

Shen Jiaxue was sulking alone with her head down when her mother-in-law Tang Wanhua's voice came from across the sofa.

“We haven’t separated yet, but Yueyue and Sinian can only live in the family compound and can’t come back more than a few times a year. I plan to give them another two thousand yuan as a resettlement allowance so that they can settle their belongings there.”

The voice just fell.

"Why?!"

Shen Jiaxue jumped up and was the first to object.

Tang Wanhua and Grandma Fu on the sofa, as well as Ye Sangning on the chair, all looked at her.

Even Xie Yiran, who had just been yawning, was jolted awake by her shout.

Xie Yiran looked at Shen Jiaxue as if she had seen a ghost.

Is my sister-in-law alright? It's not like it's her money, why is she so agitated?
Shen Jiaxue realized that her reaction was a bit too much and explained with a embarrassed expression.

"Mom, what I mean is that my third brother and his family live in the family compound. The army provides them with furniture and other necessities, so they don't need a resettlement allowance."

Tang Wanhua frowned and said unhappily, "What the army issues is what the army issues, and what I give is what I give. What's the connection between the two?"

"Or are you feeling resentful because I gave the third son and his wife two thousand yuan as a resettlement allowance but not you?"

Tang Wanhua saw through Shen Jiaxue's scheming at a glance.

She ruined the joy of learning that Fu Sinian and Song Jinyue had just registered their marriage.

Shen Jiaxue opened her mouth to defend herself, but Tang Wanhua didn't give her a chance to speak.

“If that’s what you think, then it just so happens that the third brother is married now. When he comes back with Yueyue, we’ll divide the family property, and I’ll give each of you two thousand yuan as a resettlement allowance.”

Tang Wanhua's face darkened, and she directly proposed dividing the family property.

Upon hearing this, Ye Sangning and Xie Yiran said in unison, "Mom, we didn't think that way."

The eldest sister-in-law was the one who was unhappy about the settlement allowance given to the third brother/younger brother; they didn't say anything.

Upon hearing that the family was going to split up, Shen Jiaxue's face turned pale.

He quickly said, "Mom, that's not what I meant. I was just saying it casually. Why did you bring up dividing the family property?"

Over the years, they have lived together, and the expenses of the household have been mostly covered by the parents-in-law, with the couple only needing to hand over a small portion of their salaries each month.

If they really split up, their meager salaries wouldn't be enough to live this quality of life.

This cannot be divided!
Shen Jiaxue suddenly felt annoyed; she should have known better than to say something so out of turn!
However, no matter how much she apologized and admitted her mistakes, Tang Wanhua's attitude remained very firm.

“I’m not just saying this casually. We’ll separate the family when Si Nian and Yue Yue come back. That’s settled.”
