Chapter 481: 599.1980S DAUGHTER-IN-LAW 9

Author: Thirteen pure onesMachine Translation

Tang Nan's eyes narrowed as he recognized the handkerchief. It was the same handkerchief that grandpa Mei had arranged for him and Mei Qian to be engaged. Although he was poor, his mother did not want to be too shabby in front of others, so she sold the only valuable scalper in the family. She gave the Mei family 200 yuan.

This was all new money, a total of 20 pieces of unity. Tang Nan still remembered it very clearly.

...

Tang Nan clenched his fists. He raised his eyes and looked in the direction where the girl had left.

In this day and age, the money for an engagement represented the face of both parties.

The girl had obviously taken the money to him behind his family's back. She had given him the money and urged him to marry her, which was equivalent to giving away a penny and marrying into their Tang family for free.

What kind of virtue did Tang Nan have to be able to obtain such a deep friendship?

Previously, he had some doubts about the girl's words.

Now, Tang Nan finally believed her a little.

When he thought of the girl's words just now, his thin lips revealed a trace of a smile.

Suddenly, he thought of the hug from before and the girl's smiling face.

The fragrance of the girl's body seemed to be lingering in the air.

Tang Nan subconsciously took a deep breath.

In the forest, other than the smell of some dry leaves, there was also the urgent chirping of cicadas and the chirping of birds.

Tang Nan realized what he had done. He clutched his handkerchief, feeling a little warm in his heart.

Xia Ling returned to the Mei family.

As soon as she entered the house, she felt that the atmosphere in the house was very tense.

Old master Mei sat on the big chair in the courtyard. He did not say a word and smoked his pipe.

Her parents had also gotten up at some point.

It was as if there were three people in the family waiting for her to come back.

As soon as she stepped in, old master Mei glared at her.

"Big girl! Where have you been in the middle of the afternoon?"

He knocked the pipe pot hard on the armrest of the chair. His imposing manner was extremely imposing.

Having been a party secretary for many years, grandpa Mei carried the dignity of a government official. Even the most dishonest ruffian in the village was a little afraid when he saw grandpa Mei.

Xia Ling had experienced so many worlds. She had sat in the highest position and experienced so many big scenes.

Naturally, she would not be intimidated by such a small gesture.

However, she did not show that she was not afraid at all.

"Dad, mom, grandpa, what's wrong with you guys? What are you guys doing outside on such a hot day? Don't get sunburned. You'll feel dizzy again."

Calling out to mom and dad first was a request for help.

The Mei family's parents also lived under the authority of grandpa Mei. Although the two of them were arranged marriages, their personalities were similar and their feelings were good. Therefore, for so many years, Mei Qian was the only one in the Mei family. Whatever grandpa Mei wanted to say, it was also shouldered by her father.

After receiving Xia Ling's request for help, mother Mei did not say anything. Her face was still dark.

However, father Mei said, "Mei Qian! Come over here. I have something to ask you."

Xia Ling saw that she could not avoid it, so she walked towards father Mei.

Just as she walked to mother Mei's side, she was hit by mother Mei's finger.

"Mei Qian! Did you take the two hundred yuan that mother hid in the corner of the cabinet?"

Xia Ling covered her head. She had long guessed that it was because of the engagement money.

However, she said in a low voice, "Yes, I took it."

Father Mei heaved a sigh of relief. "I knew it. Our family is fine. How could we have a thief? It definitely wasn't a thief who stole it. If you keep thinking about it, you'll scare yourself."

"Shut up." Mother Mei glared at father Mei.

Father Mei didn't dare to say anything and walked over to grandpa Mei.

On the other side, mother Mei still questioned Xia Ling with a straight face.

"What did you do with that money? Did you go to Liang Zhiqing and give him all the money?"
