Chapter 757: Chapter 757: Fulfills Whom?_1
What’s this about a toad lusting after a swan’s flesh?
He Xiaohui had fully experienced this with her own brother.
Ning’er was the school beauty in high school, pursued by countless boys, among whom were many outstanding rich heirs.
After going to university, the number of boys chasing after Ning’er stretched down several streets; compared to them, her brother He Yunke was as crappy as crappy could be.
How could Ning’er possibly take a fancy to her brother!
Moreover, Ning’er was now married, with children, and had a very harmonious relationship with her husband Mo Han.
How could He Xiaohui possibly let her brother ruin her best friend’s relationship?
"Nonsense!"
She hastily covered her brother’s mouth and whispered, "Ning’er is already married, the little girl next to her is her daughter."
"Her husband is here too!"
What? This woman, who looks like a superstar, is married? And has a child?
He Yunke’s expression instantly turned a bit annoyed. His sister should have introduced such a gorgeous best friend to him earlier, he thought resentfully; someone else got lucky. It’s so irritating.
"Xiao Hui! Who are these people?"
Suddenly there were several new faces in the room, strangers at that, and Mother He was clearly displeased.
Especially that man, who seemed very strong, barging in and damaging their door, and now he was even holding her husband’s rolling pin.
He Xiaohui hurriedly introduced, "Mom, this is my high school classmate Luo Ning, the one I’ve told you about before, who always ranked first in our class exams with me coming in second."
As she spoke, she glanced at Mo Han, preparing to introduce him when Luo Ning spoke up, "Hello uncle and auntie, my name is Luo Ning, I am Xiao Hui’s high school classmate, and also her good friend."
She paused, then whispered to her husband, "Mo Han, put it down."
Mo Han definitely wouldn’t listen to anyone else, but he naturally obeyed his wife.
As he relaxed his right hand, He Gang immediately felt much more comfortable.
"This is my husband Mo Han. I’m really sorry, we heard arguing on the stairs and thought Xiao Hui was in danger, so we rushed up in a panic."
Luo Ning smiled apologetically and continued, "Uncle and auntie, please don’t worry, I’ll find someone to fix the door for you in a bit."
"Mo Han! Apologize to uncle and auntie!"
Apologize to these two who stirred up trouble and tried to sell their daughter like an object?
Mo Han frowned slightly, feeling a bit annoyed. If he hadn’t rushed up in time, Xiao Hui might have been hit with the rolling pin.
He really didn’t want to apologize, but seeing his wife giving him signals, Mo Han compromised. He clasped his hands together, reluctantly saying, "Uncle and auntie, I’m sorry for being a bit impulsive just now."
"Hmph!"
He Gang snorted coldly, his face discontent, "What classmate, I don’t know you!"
He looked at his daughter and said coldly, "What? You’ve called for backup to threaten me, is that it?"
Earlier, when Mo Han broke through the door and grabbed the rolling pin, especially since the guy seemed pretty strong—unable to budge it in the slightest despite exerting all his strength—He Gang felt his dignity had been challenged.
"Not at all."
He Xiaohui hurriedly waved her hands and explained, "Ning’er and Mo Han came here to attend my wedding."
"Besides, we’re short one flower child for the wedding. Since Ning’er’s daughter came over too, I thought..."
"Marry? Who gave you permission to marry?"
As soon as He Gang settled into his chair, hearing his daughter’s words, anger seemed to come from nowhere. He slammed his hand onto the table, unable to suppress his fury, "I’m laying it down right here today!"
"If that damn Peng brat can’t come up with a hundred thousand yuan, you can forget about getting married! I’m saying it!"
To buy his son a house, He Gang was absolutely determined, insisting Peng Ye must produce the money today.
Luo Ning listened to He Xiaohui talk about their parents being quite stubborn, but she never imagined they would be this intransigent. She sighed and tried to persuasively say, "Uncle, I’ve heard about Peng Ye’s situation from Xiao Hui before, and I also caught some of your conversation earlier outside."
"The Peng Family really did go too far. No matter what, they should arrange a few cars to come and pick up the bride; it’s not right to make your family handle the escort."
"However, these are two separate issues. Since your family has already accepted the three hundred thousand yuan dowry and now there’s an increase, nobody would agree to that."
"Xiao Hui and Peng Ye are truly in love. Tomorrow they plan to hold their wedding, and a wedding is the happiest and most unforgettable moment in every girl’s life."
"Uncle and Aunt, I hope you can consider Xiao Hui’s feelings a bit more."
"As for that hundred thousand yuan, I understand Xiao Hui; as soon as she earns it, she will definitely hand it over to you without hesitation."
Luo Ning spoke with deep feelings, earnestly hoping that He Xiaohui’s mother would set aside her objections, so that even if Xiao Hui couldn’t marry in a grand fashion, she at least wouldn’t have difficulties.
"Dad, Mom! I’m begging you!"
He Xiaohui, moved by what she heard, knelt before her parents with a thump and bowed her head repeatedly, knocking it on the floor, "Please grant me and Peng Ye this favor!"
"I promise, once I’m married and I’ve earned money, I will give you the hundred thousand yuan as soon as possible."
The sobbing and crying of their daughter, along with the genuine thumping of her bows, slightly moistened the eyes of He Gang and Xue Hongmei.
Hearts aren’t made of stone, and although they had always looked down on their daughter, seeing her plead like this, they glanced at each other, seemingly swayed.
Maybe, they should just let Xiao Hui get married first?
"Sis! If Mom and Dad grant you your wish, who will grant mine?"
Just when He Gang and Xue Hongmei were about to agree, He Yunke sneered and interrupted, "I don’t have a job now, I’m considered untrustworthy, banks won’t approve my loans, if I want to buy a house I have to pay the full amount!"
"Mom and Dad, we’ve managed to scrape together 680,000 yuan; we’re just short that 100,000 yuan!"
"Don’t you remember what the saleslady said yesterday? The housing project is hot and prices could rise at any moment, plus the apartment type we liked there’s only one unit left!"
"If we don’t buy that house today, somebody else might snag it, or the price could rise, and then we’d have to spend at least tens of thousands more. It doesn’t make sense!"
"Mom, Dad, don’t you want me to find a wife? When I go out on dates, as soon as the girls hear I don’t have a house, they pick up their bags and leave without a backward glance. How am I supposed to find a wife like this?"
"A daughter married off is like water poured away. Once she marries into the Peng Family, she becomes a daughter-in-law of the Pengs. The money she earns will be the Pengs’, what does that have to do with our He Family?"
"Sis just said she would give us the hundred thousand yuan once she earns money, and I believe that. But think about this, she’s pregnant now. After giving birth and the postpartum period, it’ll be at least a year or more before she starts earning money again. By then, the housing prices in Lu County will probably have gone through the roof, and my chance at a house will be even slimmer."
"Moreover, knowing how stingy the Peng family is, how could they possibly let her take money from their home to give to our He Family?"
With these words out, the previously wavering He Gang and Xue Hongmei’s expressions took a sharp turn. They thought it over and felt their son was right.
A daughter once married off is indeed like water splashed away.
Once married into the Peng Family, Xiao Hui would no longer be a member of their He Family but would belong to the Pengs instead.
Forget about getting money from the Pengs; even trying to get some money from Xiao Hui in the future would be fraught with difficulties.
Xue Hongmei shook her head and said to her daughter, "Xiao Hui! Don’t blame me and your father; this isn’t up for discussion!"
"Call Peng Ye, tell him to bring the money!"
