Fast-paced era: a warm and leisurely life

Chapter 547 The Upstart Daughter of the Age 32

The woman's eyes moved left and right, which directly indicated that the money would most likely not be brought back as a dowry.

Han Shi glanced at his girlfriend's belly, suppressed his irritation, and discussed with his girlfriend in a gentle voice: "After we get married, we will live together, right? Isn't it enough for us to live a good life together?"

"You won't bring back the betrothal gifts that we gave out, so my family, which was originally rich, has become poor. You said that you can't live without money, but I was originally rich but became poor because of the betrothal gifts. How can this be explained?"

The woman tilted her head left and right, thought for a while and then said: "The betrothal gift cannot be less, but I will discuss with my parents to give some dowry."

Han Shi pursed his lips and said, "To tell you the truth, my family really can't afford this money. The most I can give you is 18,888. Your family just wants the meaning of 'getting rich', so this is the same."

"What?" The woman raised her voice and said, "Your family wants to marry me for 18,888? Han Shi, what do you think of me?!"

"This is the price, no more." After saying that, Han Shi turned around and left.

"Han Shi, stop right there!" The woman stomped her feet in anger: "Han Shi, you are such a useless man. You don't even have the money to marry a wife, so what are you going to marry!"

The people around couldn't stand it anymore.

"Girl, your family's request is indeed a bit excessive. You two are getting married to form a relationship, not to sell your daughter."

"That's right. Even if the boy's sister and brother-in-law are rich, they can't come up with so much money at once. Besides, his sister is already married. Are you trying to ruin her life?"

"Hey! I remembered now. I was thinking that this boy looked so familiar. Before the Lunar New Year, this boy's family went to his sister's house to make trouble because of the betrothal gift. His sister's family couldn't celebrate the Lunar New Year well, and they left right after the Lunar New Year."

"Really? This family really went to my married sister's house to make trouble? Oh my god, how is my sister going to live with her husband's family in the future after this?"

The woman couldn't stand the gazes of the people around her, so she covered her face with her bag and ran back home quickly.

I just got home and before I could even drink a sip of water, I was pulled over and questioned:

"How's the negotiation going? When will you give the betrothal gift?"

"Han Shi said his family couldn't afford such a large amount of betrothal gifts, and asked for less..."

"How much less?"

The woman shrank her neck and whispered, "Eighteen thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight"

"What?? You're giving me a little less! No, Mom doesn't agree. Go tell him that if he doesn't give you 1.888 million, you'll abort the baby!"

Two days later

When that woman saw Han, she didn't even take the initiative to look for him.

So he rolled his eyes and came up with an idea.

Arriving at the hospital, she called Han Shi and said, "My mother said that if I don't get a gift of 1.888 million, she will ask me to abort the baby. I'm already in the hospital now. Han Shi, tell me, do you still want this baby?!"

"What?" Han Shi was stunned by the news.

She clamped the phone with her head and hurriedly put on her socks and shoes: "You, don't be impulsive, I'll be there right away!! I'll be there right away"

Seeing her son running out in a hurry, Han's mother asked in confusion, "Son, where are you going?"

"Mom, I'm going to the hospital. Xiao Min said that if you don't give me a gift of 1.888 million, she will abort the baby."

Mother Han held her son's hand and said, "Son, we really can't afford it. What's the point of you going?"

"Mom!" Han Shi said anxiously, "Mom, please don't stop me. She's pregnant with my child! Take her away from the hospital first. Are you really going to watch her abort the baby?"

Han's mother still stopped Han Shi: "She is just threatening you! She keeps talking about aborting the child all day long, which shows that she doesn't really want this child!"

Han Shi pushed Han Ma's hand away and said, "No matter what, I'll go and bring the person back first."

After saying that, he rode his bike towards the hospital.

As soon as I arrived at the hospital and hadn't parked my bike yet, I saw Xiao Min standing under a tree eating candied haws.

Han Shi stepped forward and knocked the candied haws out of her hand and said, "Don't you know that you can't eat hawthorn when you're pregnant? So you really don't want our child, right?"

"This, this, Ah Shi, I didn't know that I can't eat candied haws when pregnant. I just craved it. You also know that after pregnancy, the taste is all kinds of strange. I suddenly want to eat something but I feel uncomfortable if I can't eat it." Xiao Min lowered her head to hide the guilt in her eyes. After all, the child in her belly was not Han Shi.

"Even if you want to eat, you have to control yourself. Come on, go home with me." Han Shi took Xiao Min's hand and walked towards the bicycle.

Xiao Min shook off Han Shi's hand and said, "No, I won't go back with you. My mother said that I can't lose any of the betrothal gifts."

"Do you think so too?" Han Shi looked at Xiao Min seriously.

Xiao Min avoided Han Shi's gaze and nodded.

Han Shi suddenly became angry. He grabbed Xiao Min's wrist and forcefully led her towards the bicycle.

Xiao Min backed away: "I don't want to ride a bicycle! I will go back with you if you buy me a car."

Han Shi stopped walking, was silent for a while, and then let go of his hand: "Since I came here, every word you say is about money. Xiao Min, I want to ask you, if I really can't afford the betrothal gift or buy a car, will you really not marry me?"

In the past, Xiao Min could keenly sense Han Shi’s emotions, and she didn’t know if it was because of her pregnancy.

This time, Xiao Min didn't notice Han Shi's emotional change at all.

"Of course it's better to have money, Ah Shi, go talk to your sister about it."

Han Shi took a step back and looked at Xiao Min disappointedly: "To tell you the truth, my sister has severed ties with my family and will not give my family a penny in the future. Not only can my family not afford the bride price, we can't even afford to buy you a car or a house."

"If you still want to marry me, come back with me. If you don't want to marry me, the hospital is right behind you, so go ahead!"

"I'm carrying your child in my belly!" Xiao Min pulled Han Shi's hand and placed it on her belly.

"Isn't this your child too? You are willing to abort him, so why should I be reluctant?" Han Shi withdrew his hand and walked towards the bicycle.

Seeing that Han Shi really left, Xiao Min quickly chased after him: "Let's discuss it again!!"

Xiao Min was so focused on chasing Han that she didn't pay attention to her feet. She stepped on a stone and fell on her stomach.

"Ah!! My stomach hurts so much!!"

Hearing Xiao Min's cry of pain, Han Shi quickly turned around, saw Xiao Min lying on the ground, and ran back quickly.

Xiao Min grabbed Han Shi's hand: "My stomach hurts so much"

Fortunately, it was at the hospital entrance, and soon the doctor from the hospital rushed out carrying a stretcher.

Xiao Min was carried into the emergency room.

Han Shi waited anxiously outside the emergency room, clasping his hands together and praying that everything would be alright.

I said I wanted to get rid of it, but I still cared about it in my heart.
