Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path

So much dowry, the Yang Family is feeling a lot of pressure.

Especially Wang Shuyun, who used to think she was quite wealthy, and was waiting for Gu Lingling to get married so she could justifiably buy whatever she wanted for her daughter-in-law.

Who knew what they were marrying was a golden phoenix.

The person really loves having such a generous dowry, and they can’t give a humble bride price either.

Almost drove Zhou Mei to fury.

Mr. Zhou’s bride price for Gu Lingling was much more than what he gave Shen Lingyu back then, which made her disgruntled.

”It’s not that I’m biased, back then how much dowry did Xiao Yu bring? The bride price our family gave was several times more than that,” Mr. Yang said.

”But now the bride price we’re giving isn’t even a third of the dowry, and you’re here complaining. If you’re unhappy, fine, let’s split the family.”

”The bride price I’m giving her is the same as Xiao Yu’s,” Mr. Yang said, ”I’ll go with Boss.”

Split the family?

How is that possible?

The reason they’ve been living in this small villa in the military district with the old man is because they don’t want to be separated from him.

If separated, many resources can’t be utilized.

Moreover, if the old man goes with Boss’s family, does everything he has start belonging to Boss’s family?

Even if on the surface the old man splits the family assets evenly, what about in the future? You should know the old man’s health is great and living another ten or twenty years isn’t a problem.

These years just his pension is quite a significant amount, not to mention he still enjoys special subsidies.

And the dividends from the assets he’s invested in.

Just thinking about it makes Zhou Mei’s heart ache.

This old thing, they’ve lived with him and she’s taken care of him meticulously every day, even changing up the meals he eats.

Most people hire an Aunt to cook, but in their house, it’s her doing the cooking.

Even so, she hasn’t managed to win the heart of this old thing; all he thinks about every day is Boss’s family.

She only has one son, Yang Yunfeng, but Wang Shuyun is still pregnant with another, so when the assets are divided in the future, Boss’s family will certainly get more.

Yet she’s still not satisfied, and wants to have such a high bride price.

If word of this gets out, how can their second family still stay in the Capital City?

She and Shen Lingyu don’t want to go out anymore.

It’s extremely embarrassing.

First there’s Mr. Zhou, and then there’s Mr. Yang, these two old things caused Zhou Mei to spit a mouthful of blood in anger.

Ma Zhenxian was equally furious.

She could let go of everything else, but what does old man’s comment about him wanting to stay with Boss’s family mean?

”I’ve been with you through thick and thin all these years, but is that not as good as my sister?” Ma Zhenxian cried sadly. ”You want to stay with Boss’s family, what about me?”

Does it mean that as they grow old, they still have to live apart?

”Alright, that’s not what I meant,” Mr. Yang said with a darkened face.

And yet Wang Shuyun wasn’t willing to let things go, casually eating fruits while glancing at the puffed-up Zhou Mei, ”Old man, we get your intention, but Yunhai said he’d handle Lingling’s bride price on his own for getting his bride.”

Zhou Mei: ”...”

What does that mean?

When Yang Yunfeng marries, is he just living off his parents? Is it only by relying on the family that he can get married?

Zhou Mei felt her heart was about to burst and spill blood again.

”Boss, what do you mean? Are you looking down on this old man?” Mr. Yang asked.

”Dad, don’t overthink it, Yunhai doesn’t even want what we gave him,” Yang Aiguo said with a bitter smile.

”That’s not acceptable,” Mr. Yang said angrily, ”The old man’s stuff, whoever he wants to give it to, he gives it to. If you have any objections, just hold them in, because making the old man upset will have him donating everything.”

Alright, with one sentence, the whole world fell silent.
