Chapter 510 Aren't I amazing? I'm getting my bride price back!
Several neighbors had already appeared in the stairwell outside, coming out to see what was going on.
As more people came out, they gathered together and began to whisper among themselves.
"What? Is that sound coming from Old Dong's house?"
"Yes, I saw Old Dong's parents coming upstairs with their luggage when I went upstairs just now."
"This is a wedding, so the new bride doesn't want her parents to stay here, right?"
"I also heard them talking about borrowing money or something. I guess they spent a lot of money on their son's wedding. I heard the new bride's father is a high-ranking officer in the military."
The noise outside wasn't actually that loud, but Wang Youyou's room was just a wall away from the hallway.
Wang Youyou could still hear some of it.
His face was so gloomy it looked like it could drip water.
I never imagined that Lao Dong's parents were like this.
If Wang Youyou had known about Lao Dong's family situation, she would never have married him.
At today's wedding, Wang Youyou saw that Su Niannian was radiant and her belly was already protruding.
She looks great, and it's clear she's been well taken care of at home.
Gu Nan was also very gentle with Su Niannian.
Gu Nan frequently put dishes that were further away on Su Niannian's plate.
The two even exchanged glances during their meal, which made Wang Youyou extremely envious.
Now, comparing Lao Dong's parents, Wang Youyou truly feels like crying but has no tears left to shed.
However, he has already earned a bad reputation just by moving into the military compound.
Old Dong even said he could handle it, but that's just asking for trouble.
Wang Youyou pulled down the red wedding flower on her chest, threw it on the ground, and stomped on it angrily.
He pushed open the door and went out.
Arriving at the door of another room, Wang Youyou felt annoyed seeing Old Dong standing there helplessly.
Then he looked at Old Mrs. Dong standing by the bed and Old Mr. Dong sitting on the bed.
The two elderly people looked at him with pitiful expressions.
Wang Youyou suddenly felt a headache.
"Third daughter-in-law, it's good that you're here. You be the judge."
“We, your husband and I, borrowed money from neighbors and relatives to pay for our son’s wedding, and now we’re being kicked out. Tell me, is there any justice in this?”
Old Dong's mother continued speaking.
Wang Youyou's face was so gloomy it looked like it could drip water.
Seeing that Wang Youyou looked unwell, Lao Dong tried to take her hand, but Wang Youyou forcefully shook him off.
"So what do you want to do?" Wang Youyou's voice was almost squeezed out of her throat.
“I…” Old Mrs. Dong and Father exchanged glances.
“We can see that you don’t want us to stay here, so why don’t you give us the money we borrowed?”
“We can go back and pay the money back then,” Old Dong’s mother said, at her husband’s prompting glance.
Wang Youyou looked at the two old men, then at Old Dong.
He squeezed out a "good" through his teeth!
"How much?" Wang Youyou asked patiently.
The two elderly people looked at each other. "Two hundred yuan," Old Mrs. Dong said.
Old Dong was completely distraught.
I didn't have enough money on me, so I took 100 yuan from my parents.
When will it become two hundred?
Old Dong tried to explain, saying that he only took one hundred yuan from the two of them, so how did it suddenly become two hundred?
Two hundred yuan! Old Dong seemed to have figured something out again.
I had told my parents before that the bride price I would give Wang Youyou was two hundred yuan.
Commander Wang's side wasn't short of money, so all the dowry money he gave was in Wang Youyou's hands.
Are your parents saying this because they want all the betrothal money that Wang Youyou has?
At that moment, Lao Dong felt extremely distressed.
How could my own parents scheme against me like this?
If he had known about this trick, Lao Dong would have borrowed money from his comrades rather than asking his parents for it.
Back then, I always thought that since I sent money to my parents every month, it was only natural for them to contribute some money for my wedding.
How did it go from one hundred to two hundred?
"Son, you can't be so heartless! Your parents only gave you two hundred yuan, didn't they?"
"How did it become one hundred again?"
"The bride price is what your parents give you!" Old Dong's mother said again.
He looked as if he had suffered a great injustice.
Old Dong was so angry with his mother that he couldn't even speak.
Old Dong's father added fuel to the fire, saying that the old couple took out two hundred yuan, all of which they had borrowed.
As a result, the son reneged on his promise right after the wedding!
Old Dong wanted to explain to Wang Youyou, but Wang Youyou interrupted him.
“I don’t want to get involved in your family’s messy affairs. You probably don’t have the money right now, but I’ll lend it to you so your parents can take the money and leave!” Wang Youyou had never suffered any financial hardship in her life.
Although Wang Youyou's monthly salary is only thirty-five yuan, two hundred yuan is really nothing to her.
She stormed back into her room and took out a small handkerchief from a bundle wrapped in red cloth.
Inside was the two hundred yuan dowry that Lao Dong had given her.
If giving this money could get those two old guys to leave and never appear before him again, Wang Youyou wouldn't hesitate to spend it in the slightest.
Take the money and walk back.
He threw the money directly onto the bed.
"Here's the money, now leave!" Wang Youyou said angrily.
The elderly couple never expected that Wang Youyou would give them the money so easily.
The two men exchanged a glance, and Old Dong's father picked up the money and counted it carefully.
Twenty large unity bills, not one missing.
He nodded to his wife.
Old Dong's mother put on a smile.
"That would have to be tomorrow, right? There are no tickets left to sell at this time."
Completely different from his aggrieved expression just now, Wang Youyou couldn't help but think that this old guy could actually change his expression!
Wang Youyou didn't say anything more, glared at Lao Dong, and then angrily went back to her room.
This time, however, Wang Youyou locked the door from the inside.
After Old Dong and the two elders made arrangements to see them off at the train station the next day, Old Dong returned to his room and found that he couldn't open the door, so he stood at the door and knocked.
Wang Youyou did not respond to the result.
Sitting on the sofa, Lao Dong felt that his life had really been quite difficult.
They sat there until evening. Old Dong's mother came out of the house. "Son, your father and I are hungry. What shall we eat tonight?"
Old Dong checked the time and realized it was already evening. He looked at the closed door.
Old Dong stood up helplessly and said he was going out to buy some ready-made food.
Old Dong's mother even asked him to bring back some wine and snacks for his father before he left.
Old Dong froze for a moment as he was about to leave.
