Wu ngting wasn’t wrong with what she said, but Lin Yujiao found it quite awkward to hear.
"There are also many couples who have to divorce again after remarrying. So, let’s just forget it, to avoid another separation."
After Lin Yujiao uttered these words, she appeared as though a weight had been lifted from her shoulders.
Hearing her say this, Chen Feng, of course, was delighted. Wu ngting, on the other hand, felt exactly the opposite.
Lin Yujiao was now a mistress supported by Chen Feng. Although Wu ngting got along with her amicably, she certainly didn’t want her to maintain a long-term relationship with Chen Feng.
"Aren’t you going ho to take a look?" Chen Feng tested the waters.
Lin Yujiao shook her head: "What’s there to see? I don’t want to see him, and I certainly don’t want to see his mother again."
Chen Feng once again feigned concern, "Wasn’t it your parents who asked you to return? If you don’t go back, wouldn’t it be problematic for your parents?"
"What do you an?" Lin Yujiao beca sowhat angry, "Are you so eager for to go there, so I can get back together with my ex-husband? If that’s really what you want, I’ll listen to you."
"Not at all, not at all, how could that be? Am I crazy?" Chen Feng chuckled and said, "I’m just worried your parents will be in a difficult position."
"What’s so difficult for them? Just refuse. After all is said and done, they just can’t part with the dowry of two hundred thousand."
Wu ngting remarked, "A dowry of two hundred thousand is indeed quite a lot. Around here, it’s usually only about a hundred thousand or so."
Chen Feng discussed the matter rationally, "Around here there’s no fixed price, it’s all negotiated. If the groom gives a lot in dowry, the bride’s family also gives a lot in her dowry. If the groom’s dowry is around ten thousand or so, the bride’s family will usually include a car of similar value in the dowry. The amounts contributed by the two sides aren’t too different.
Of course, under normal circumstances, the bride’s side still tends to gain a little advantage. After all, raising a daughter isn’t easy. Dowries of a few thousand, or even no dowry, do exist, but they are the minority. There are dowries of several hundred thousand as well, and at that ti, the dowry of the car, household appliances, and such are also about the sa price."
Wu ngting smiled and said, "In our city, this aspect is still relatively fair, quite equal between n and won, much better than the exorbitant dowries in the north."
Chen Feng replied, "Our city is so large, customs vary in different places. In so places in Feiyun City, there is a custom where marrying off a daughter involves a significant dowry – marrying one off whilst losing a fortune, and families can even build up huge debts because of it."
Wu ngting nodded with a smile: "There is such a thing, I’ve heard of it too. So, Yu Jiao’s ex-husband offering a dowry of 200 thousand now, and not demanding a dowry in return, really shows sincerity."
Lin Yujiao gave both of them an annoyed look and changed the subject: "Are you two still planning to walk around? If not, let’s head back."
Wu ngting, smiling, said, "Yu Jiao, I think it’s better for you to go ho. It’s one thing to give your parents a way to explain to the other party, and another, if you really don’t want to reconcile, to take this opportunity when both families’ elders are present to make your stance clear."
After thinking it over, Lin Yujiao eventually shook her head and said, "Forget it. I’m afraid if I go, they will join forces to persuade . I don’t want to be in that situation."
Hearing this, Chen Feng nodded and said, "It’s possible. If your parents asked you to go over, they’re probably leaning toward wanting you to reconcile. They would most likely urge you along with them. You can stand up to your ex-husband and his mother, but it would be difficult to deal with your own parents."
Lin Yujiao sighed and said, "Yes. My parents are very greedy, have been since I was little. Two hundred thousand, and they want to sell their daughter off again."
This statent left both Chen Feng and Wu ngting speechless. There’s a difficult family story in every household. There are countless good parents, but bad ones are not in short supply either. Everyone has their own fate with their parents.
Just as they were talking, Lin Yujiao’s phone rang. She glanced at it and with a displeased expression, she hung up directly.
Not long after, the phone rang again. Lin Yujiao just glanced at it and hung up again.
Chen Feng and Wu ngting exchanged glances. Chen Feng said, "Then let’s not wander anymore. Let’s head back."
Lin Yujiao clearly had lost interest in sightseeing at this point, and even Chen Feng was not very interested in Guanyin Temple anymore, preferring to get back and rest earlier.
Wu ngting, on the other hand, was still keen to explore, but seeing that Chen Feng had suggested this, she could only agree.
About half an hour later, they drove back to Qingpu Town, first dropping off Lin Yujiao.
Just as they reached the entrance of her shop, they saw her ex-husband standing at the door, accompanied by three other elders.
Needless to say, these were likely her parents and forr mother-in-law.
Sure enough...
Chen Feng did not stop imdiately at the shop entrance but continued driving forward while asking Lin Yujiao in the back seat: "You saw them, right? Your ex-husband is waiting with others at the store entrance to block you. Do you want to get out?"
Lin Yujiao had seen them, too, and after a mont of struggle, she asked, "Can you co with ? Yesterday, you told my ex-husband you’re my boyfriend. If you co with , it will make them give up hope."
From the passenger seat, Wu ngting quickly said, "I think it’s better to avoid them for now. If Brother Feng goes with you, it might exacerbate the conflict. What if it leads to a fight with your ex-husband?"
Lin Yujiao did not argue with Wu ngting’s words but with a grim expression asked Chen Feng, "Brother Feng, do you think the sa?"
Chen Feng didn’t answer her question but imdiately turned on the indicator, made a U-turn, and soon the car stopped in front of Yu Jiao Clothing Store.
Then, Chen Feng was the first to open the door and get out of the car.
Lin Yujiao was a bit slow to react, while Wu ngting quickly followed, getting out second and joined Chen Feng as they approached the four people at the store entrance.
