Chapter 210 Phoenix Man 3
Yu Yang wanted to let Qingmo rest for a while, and that rest lasted for half a month. He thought that after such a long time, Qingmo should be able to figure out a lot of things. Little did he know that half a month was enough for Qingmo to do a lot of things.
For example, the child, who would even despise her mother's bastard child, is better off not having. Her mother accompanied her to the hospital for surgery, and she has been recuperating at home for the past two weeks, enjoying her mother's love.
The mother was completely relieved. Seeing how decisively she gave up on the child, she must have given up on the scumbag.
Qingmo said: If I didn't care, how can I talk about giving up?
Yu Yang was getting a little anxious when he saw that Qingmo hadn't contacted him. After all, she was the easy target he had finally chosen. Even if he wanted to discipline Qingmo, it wasn't for now. He would have plenty of ways to deal with her after they got married.
So Yu Yang took the initiative to call Qingmo, and Qingmo's indifferent voice came from the other end of the phone: "What's up?"
Hearing her cold tone, Yu Yang felt a little unhappy, but quickly regained his composure and said, "Mo Mo, I've missed you so much. Let's have dinner together tonight."
Qingmo sneered, "No need. I feel disgusted just looking at your face. Let's break up and never contact each other again." Then she hung up the phone.
Yu Yang was surprised that Qingmo had suddenly become so resolute, and he couldn't help but feel angry. Was it because his family was not giving a bride price but was demanding a dowry?
His eyes lit up and an idea came to him. The next day, he bought a large bouquet of flowers and went to Qingmo's house downstairs, intending to apologize and make peace in person.
After Qingmo saw him through the window, she immediately told her mother to go downstairs and tell him to get lost, and to tell him never to appear in front of her again.
Yu Yang panicked. He realized that he might really lose this person he could manipulate at will.
Yu Yang was unwilling to accept defeat, so he decided to look for a breakthrough from Qingmo's mother.
He found out which farmers' market Qingmo's mother frequented and deliberately arranged a chance encounter. "Hello, Auntie," Yu Yang said with a beaming smile.
Qingmo's mother snorted and was about to leave. Yu Yang quickly grabbed her, "Auntie, it was all my fault before. I shouldn't have treated Qingmo like that. I really like her."
Qingmo's mother glared at him, "What's the use of saying all this now? My daughter will have nothing to do with you anymore."
Undeterred, Yu Yang pulled out a card. “Auntie, there’s some money in here. It’s 10 yuan, which my mom scraped together for the bride price. Please accept it. Qingqing threw a tantrum at me because of the bride price. I just want you to talk to Qingmo.”
Qingmo's mother slapped his card away, saying, "Keep this dowry for someone else. Our family can't afford to be associated with you. Stay away from us."
Yu Yang could only slink away, his heart filled with resentment.
He didn't understand what had suddenly happened. She had loved him to death before, but now she was fighting like this over a dowry.
Ah, just as I thought, women are all vain.
When Yu Yang realized that his own visits were ineffective, he had no choice but to bring his mother along. His mother brought some wilted fruit to their door.
When Qingmo's mother opened the door and saw Yu's mother, she looked disgusted.
However, Yu's mother forced her way in, smiling apologetically, and said, "My dear in-law, it was all because the child was ignorant before. I came here today specifically to apologize to Qingqing. It was all that brat's fault. He was just worried about how hard it was for us old folks. Don't worry, we will definitely give the bride price as you said."
Qingmo's mother said coldly, "Who is your in-law? We can't afford to offend your family."
Yu's mother's face turned pale and then flushed.
Just then, Qingmo came out of the room, looked at Yu's mother with a half-smile, and said, "Auntie, will you give me 500,000? Will you add my name to the house?"
Upon hearing this, Yu's mother's eyes widened in disbelief. "Qingqing, our family's circumstances, the 100,000 yuan dowry, were all borrowed from relatives and friends by my husband and me. Aren't you trying to kill me? Besides, although the house is in my and my husband's names, when we get old, it will all belong to you. We're family, why are you so calculating?"
Qingmo nodded in agreement: "Hmm, so what do you mean by asking our family to provide such a large dowry when your family can't afford the bride price? Are you trying to exploit us, or do you want your son to live off your wife?"
Mother Yu said with an embarrassed look, "This is all my fault. It was my idea. I was just worried that you two would have a hard time in the future. If your family can help you, then help us out. Besides, you're pregnant now, and there will be many expenses in the future. Mother-in-law, don't you think so?"
After saying that, Yu's mother looked at Qingmo's stomach, as if waiting for Qingmo to give in.
Qingmo smiled calmly: "Yes, so if the bride price isn't 500,000, the marriage can't go on. I already have your precious grandson, such a big golden nugget. If you don't want him, I'll just get him aborted. Anyway, whatever bride price you give, my family will give back the same amount as dowry."
Yu's mother's face instantly turned ugly as she looked at Qingmo's mother, "Mother-in-law, is that what you think too? You know Qingqing's belly is getting bigger every day, how can you bear to let her take away a life?"
Besides, it won't be easy for Qingqing to find a husband after she's been pregnant. Now that the two families are already married, why let this little thing cause unpleasantness?
Qingmo's mother naturally wouldn't expose her daughter's arrogance, and retorted sarcastically, "Hmph, you don't even care about your grandson, so why should we? With our family's resources, we could easily find a son-in-law to live with us, so you don't need to worry about it."
Yu's mother was speechless with shock. Qingmo continued, "Auntie, you should go back. There's no room for negotiation on this. No money? If you have no money, then go die. Why get married?"
Yu's mother wanted to say something more, but Qingmo's mother had already told her to leave. Helpless, Yu's mother had no choice but to leave.
When Yu Yang learned of this, he became even angrier, feeling that Qingmo had gone too far, but he had no choice but to swallow his anger.
He's already this age; it won't be easy for him to find another girl with such good qualities.
Once he entered the workforce, he realized how materialistic girls are these days. They constantly demand cars, houses, and money, unlike the girls in school who were so easily fooled. Back then, they pursued love; now, they want bread and milk.
Yu Yang dialed Qingmo's number again, but Qingmo rejected the call. Yu Yang gritted his teeth and sent a text message: "Qingmo, I know I was terribly wrong, but my love for you is real. If I lose you, there is no meaning to my life."
Qingmo read the text message and replied with only one sentence: "If you can't live, then go die."
Left with no other choice, Yu Yang could only wait for her downstairs in the apartment complex every day. As soon as Qingmo stepped out, she would see Yu Yang kneeling there with flowers in his hands, surrounded by a crowd of people pointing and whispering.
Qingmo remained unmoved, walked over with a cold face and said, "You're not ashamed, but I am."
Yu Yang grabbed her sleeve. "Qingmo, please give me another chance. I know I was wrong. We still have a child. I will prepare the bride price."
Qingmo looked at him with a half-smile: "Anyway, whatever dowry your family gives, our family will give back the same amount as the dowry. Don't try to get something for nothing from me. Go back now, and come back to me when you've gathered enough."
With a sway of her hips, Qingmo left. Watching her departing figure, Yu Yang stared at her for a long time without saying a word, but his clenched fists revealed his inner turmoil.
