Chapter 649: Chapter 649: Letting You Split Apart, Without Any Hesitation

However, she couldn’t really stop someone from taking a wife, could she?

If things really caused trouble, they’d just see less of each other.

Zhao Tianhe gasped, "They won’t make me break up with Yuemei, will they?"

No one could say for sure.

"Tomorrow, you should go ask Auntie Wang since she was the matchmaker for you two. Even if she hasn’t asked you to split up, she’ll likely probe to see how much dowry you can afford."

If you can’t come up with that much dowry, they’ll have you split up without hesitation.

"Three hundred, Auntie Wang had told me before that we could negotiate up to three hundred."

Three hundred?

That dowry doesn’t seem expensive.

Zhao Tianhe’s basic salary could cover it in just six months.

"Then just wait and see."

Zhao Tianhe thought this matter would take a few days.

But the very next day at the electronics store, Auntie Wang came directly to discuss it.

"Auntie, you mentioned three hundred before. As you know, I bought a house and still owe quite a bit of money. Although I borrowed it from my cousin, I can’t just not repay him."

"I know, I’m just giving you a heads up. Since we’ve talked dowries, it means you’re getting married. It might even happen before the New Year."

Getting married?

"I have no objections."

Auntie Wang spoke a bit more with Zhao Tianhe before leaving.

During the anniversary event, she won a radio.

Besides, this young man was really quite decent.

It was a pity Dongmei didn’t approve of him, demanding a high dowry right at their first meeting.

Dongmei was indeed pretty.

But compared to the electronics store owner, she was actually much less attractive.

That day, the store owner was wearing a cashmere coat and boots, clearly made up. Yet, she was truly beautiful.

A good makeup job can really transform someone. Besides, Yun Xiaoxiao knew how to apply subtle makeup that wasn’t obvious, yet it significantly enhanced her beauty.

Auntie Wang went to the Wang Family again—of course, she couldn’t mention right away that they had agreed on three hundred.

"Xiao Zhao came from the countryside. The dowries there are not high, around sixty to seventy. But I told him, here in the city, such a small dowry won’t get him a wife. In the end, we agreed that with his money on hand plus this month’s salary, it adds up to just over two hundred. I suggested he top it up to three hundred."

Three hundred?

This dowry still has some foundation.

"Your Yuemei is plain-looking and no longer young. If you demand too high a dowry, you can only marry her off to a divorced older man with children. Imagine your youngest sister returning to her mother’s home with such a man, the amount of gossip that would stir. Xiao Zhao works at an electronics store, so if he buys from his place of work, he gets the staff discount."

That’s where the discussion ended; it’s up to her now.

Auntie Wang was drinking the sweet water Mrs. Wang had poured.

Regarding this sister-in-law in the next room, Auntie Wang didn’t even know what to say.

What’s the purpose of bringing a daughter-in-law home?

It’s not just about having grandchildren.

If it were her, she would have already slapped her two daughters-in-law.

Spoiling them, watching daughters-in-law bully her daughter without saying a word.

All because of being foolish.

"Auntie, there’s no ’three turns and a sound,’ so how about a washing machine?"

Auntie Wang didn’t even know what to say.

Fearing from when her youngest sister became sensible, she had begun doing house chores.

Now at the age to find a partner, she’s suddenly asking for the moon.

"Are you marrying off your daughter or trying to sell her? A washing machine costs more than a bicycle. I think we should call off this match. Young Xiao Zhao has now got a house and a job, looks quite good, and has a wealthy cousin who’s a college graduate. I’ll just introduce him to another young girl, and you, you just keep looking after your daughter!"
