Chapter 515: My adopted sister returned to her hometown to farm (4)
After being scolded by Fang Jing, the tenderness and affection that Lin Man had originally prepared for was instantly covered by an invisible hand, and she couldn't utter a single word.
Fang Jing on the other end of the phone saw that there was no sound, and immediately seized the opportunity to press on: "Manman, it's not that Auntie doesn't understand you, but you have to understand,
When we bought the house for Xiao Cheng, it was prepared as a wedding house. And he is not young anymore, we as parents are worried.
I was thinking that I would have to arrange a blind date for him after a while. You have been living there all this time, what's going on?"
"Auntie...can you let Xiao Cheng answer the phone?" Lin Man's tone was full of grievance and pleading, and her pitiful look seemed to be transmitted to Fang Jing through the phone.
As the volume of his cell phone was turned up quite high, Song Yucheng heard these words clearly and almost subconsciously reached out to grab his cell phone.
However, his hand had just been half extended when he was met with Fang Jing's sharp gaze. He froze in place as if he had been struck by lightning.
"Oh, I'm afraid not. He's busy packing things right now. Our whole family is planning to go out for a trip to relax and unwind." Fang Jing's tone still sounded gentle and kind, but every word she said was like a sharp knife, piercing Lin Man's heart.
"You will be away for at least ten days or half a month. I know you don't have much luggage, and it will take you three days at most to move everything!" After saying this, Fang Jing didn't give Lin Man any chance to speak again, and hung up the phone with a "click".
Only Lin Man was left standing there blankly, holding the phone, with a look of disbelief and loss on her face.
"Mom! You..." Song Yucheng felt that his mother's words were a bit too harsh.
But Fang Jing didn't answer him, Song Tao spoke first: "Your mother is right. It's just a small matter. How long have you been dragging your feet? Do you really plan to let her live with you forever?
Do you have the ability to help her? Besides, her affairs are now spreading all over the compound, and you have lost all your dignity. If you don't plan to marry her, don't mess with her!"
Fang Jing said even more absolutely: "I dare not think about marrying her. Not to mention the betrothal gifts her family wants, even if it's the debt she has to bear, our son can't afford it."
"Dowry?" Song Yucheng didn't react for a moment, "Lin Man doesn't even have a partner, how come the dowry is already set!"
Fang Jing and Song Tao looked at each other before explaining, "The betrothal gift for her brother's wife, as well as the money for buying a car and a house, are all part of Lin Man's betrothal gift."
This... this, Song Yucheng began to believe for the first time that the Lin family was really a family that favored boys over girls. There was no need for a bride price at all.
It was clearly selling their daughter, or there was another possibility that the price was deliberately set very high so that Lin Man could never get married and would have to stay in the Lin family and work like a slave for the rest of her life.
Looking at her son's pale face, Fang Jing sighed softly: "Not all parents love their children."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Song Tao interrupted the conversation. "Your mother and I are going to see Sisi. You can come with us! It's a good opportunity to avoid what's happening here and come back after Lin Man moves out of your house."
"See Sisi?" Song Yucheng frowned slightly, "Isn't she going to come back? Her small restaurant hasn't closed down yet!"
"Puh, puh, puh!" Fang Jing slapped her son several times. "What nonsense! Sisi's business is so good that she just appeared on a celebrity's live broadcast room to promote it!"
As she spoke, Fang Jing wanted to find the live broadcast room she had just seen, but she couldn't find it after checking it several times, and she didn't know whether the live broadcast had ended.
Song Yucheng stopped his mother's action: "Okay, okay, can't I go? I haven't seen her for a long time, I'm not used to it."
The next day, Fang Jing asked her son to buy a ticket and then told Yao Sisi her arrival time.
Because they also wanted to go to W City and then take a bus to Yao Sisi's place.
Considering that her parents and brother were all coming, Yao Sisi wanted to go to the station to pick them up.
"Are your parents and brother coming?" Xiao Lang was very enthusiastic when he heard that Yao Sisi's relatives were coming. "Then why are you being so polite to me? Isn't it my duty to pick them up?"
"They are my parents and brother!" Yao Sisi was speechless at this man's familiarity.
Xiao Lang nodded and said, "It's yours! I didn't fight with you for it, I just shouted along with you. Doesn't this make it seem more intimate? We are all family, it sounds nice to shout like this."
"I don't believe you!" Yao Sisi tapped the man's chest. "I'm telling you! I haven't told my parents about our relationship yet! Don't say anything."
"Are you not going to give me a legitimate status?" Xiao Lang looked "wronged". "Why am I so miserable? I didn't have enough to eat when I was a child, and now I have a girlfriend but I can't let anyone know."
