After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! - Chapter 2386

Chapter 2386: Sever Ties Between Father and Daughter

The entire village knew that the Sun family favored boys over girls. Qiao Mei also knew that in this era, it was common for people to favor boys over girls, but she did not expect the Sun family to go to such an extent.

“You have to give me a betrothal gift of 5,000 dollars! Also, to show your filial piety, you have to give me 500 dollars every month!” Sun Yuan’s father, Sun Kai, said as he held up his hand.

The Xia family members present were expressionless and even felt that Sun Kai was looking down on them. At that time, the Zhou family had asked for a betrothal gift of 20,000 to 30,000 dollars. To ask for a mere 5,000 dollars was really looking down on the Xia family.

The Xia family were used to facing such issues.

Seeing that there was no reaction from the Xia family members, Sun Kai added, “If you don’t agree to the condition, then we won’t let Sun Yuan marry into your Xia family!”

Qiao Mei rolled her eyes and said, “So be it.”

“Hey! Does the Xia family have no rules! How can a junior interrupt the conversation between the elders!” Sun Kai roared at Qiao Mei.

All the Xia family members glared at Sun Kai. Xia Yuan even said, “Whatever Cousin-in-law says is whatever our family wants to say.”

Sun Yuan looked troubled. She knew that Xia Yuan liked her, but she also knew that he cared more about the interests of the Xia family. If the wedding plans were ruined here now, then she would never have any hope in her life! This was her only chance to step up in life!

“You! You’re too much! Did you ask my family to come here just to humiliate us?” Sun Kai questioned.

“It’s because you have asked for too much and we can’t agree to your conditions. You should rethink what you want,” Qiao Mei said.

Sun Kai smacked the table and stood up. Sun Kai’s wife immediately stopped him and muttered softly, “We can ask for less money. It’s better than not getting a single cent. Moreover, after this useless thing marries into the family, won’t we have many chances to get more money? Calm down!”

Sun Kai took some time to calm down and then said, “How about a betrothal gift of 3,000 dollars and living expenses of 500 dollars a month. I can’t go any lower than this.”

This request was truly not too much for the Xia family. Qiao Mei threw a glance at Xia Yuan and he said coldly, “A betrothal gift of 50,000 dollars.”

“What! 50,000!” the Sun family members exclaimed.

Sun Yuan tugged at Xia Yuan’s sleeve nervously. She knew that this amount was equivalent to all of Xia Yuan’s savings. What was Xia Yuan trying to do? The Sun family members were not nice people! How could Xia Yuan be so silly as to give them money?

“There’s a condition. To get the 50,000 dollars, you have to sign an agreement to sever ties with Sun Yuan. As long as you dare to sign it, I’ll give you 50,000 dollars now.” Xia Yuan took out 50,000 dollars in cash from his backpack and placed it on the table.

In the eyes of the Sun family, this was a “mountain of gold”! They did not even dare to think about having 50,000 dollars and had never even seen so much money in their dreams.

“It’s not worth doing this for me…” Sun Yuan said to Xia Yuan with tears in her eyes.

Xia Yuan patted Sun Yuan’s hand gently and said, “Don’t worry. I know you live a difficult life in the Sun family. I’m very happy to be able to set you free with money.”

“You have three minutes to consider it carefully. We don’t have more time to wait for you,” Qiao Mei said.

“We’ll sign it! We’ll sign it immediately!” Sun Kai said excitedly.

Xia Yuan had already prepared the agreement in advance. Sun Kai put his fingerprint on it without any hesitation. The Sun family took the money and left the restaurant without eating, worried that the Xia family would go back on their word. Perhaps in their opinion, the Xia family members were all fools to have given them so much money for a useless thing like Sun Yuan.

“I… I will definitely pay you back this sum of money!” Sun Yuan said, feeling touched.

“Alright, don’t cry. Why are you crying on such a joyous day? We’re going to be husband and wife and build a family together. This is what I should do. You don’t have to feel apologetic towards me. I’m very happy that you’ve regained your freedom. It’s just that we won’t have the blessings of your family at our wedding. Will you be sad about this?” Xia Yuan said as he hugged Sun Yuan.

“We’re your family members too~” Qiao Mei and Xia He said as they smiled at the couple.

Sun Yuan nodded vigorously and said, “Yes! This is my home now! I won’t ever leave all of you! I’ll definitely work hard to earn money in the future! I’ll live my life well!”

“It just so happens that I have a job vacancy at the printing factory. Go and help me there,” Qiao Mei said.

“But I didn’t study much and I’m not very knowledgeable,” Sun Yuan said timidly.

“You don’t need a lot of knowledge to do the job. You just need to recognize some of the words. It’s never too late if you’re willing to learn,” Qiao Mei said.

“Yes! I’m willing to learn! I won’t let all of you down!” After saying that, Sun Yuan asked embarrassedly, “Why… are all of you so nice to me?”
