Dispossessed

Chapter 1

"As a mother, I have worked hard to raise my daughter for more than 88 years. Is [-] dowry a lot?!"

"88... Mother-in-law... You see, this bride price also requires a car and a house, which is indeed a bit much... Can you..."

"What am I looking at? What era are we in now? Houses and cars are what we should have! Besides, they don't even have a single horoscope, so don't call me your mother-in-law!"

Zhang Xian and Li Qian are a couple who have been in love for three years. Today is the day they agreed to meet their parents.

Before today, Zhang Xian and Li Qian had agreed to persuade Wang Hongfang together.

But until now, Li Qian has been sitting on the sofa behind her back without saying a word, as if she was completely dependent on her mother Wang Hongfang.

"My dear... the situation in our family is really different. This... this is really..." Liu Cuilan poked Zhang Xian who was silent beside him.

"Auntie... I really love Qianqian, and I won't let her suffer, but this gift is really too much... Do you think I can take Qianqian back first, and when I graduate, I will work hard to make money , and then I will give you all the gift money.”

When he said this, Zhang Xian looked at Li Qian confidently.

"Get lost!" Wang Hongfang exploded upon hearing this, "It's the first time I've met people who get married on credit! Look at how poor you are! Don't get married if you don't have money! Don't come out to harm others after being single for the rest of your life!"

While talking, Wang Hongfang drove Zhang Xian's mother and son out of the door.

Liu Cuilan staggered and fell outside the door.Before the two could recover, the fruits and eggs they brought were thrown out.

"I dare to come to the door with such a small amount of things! I really saw it today!" After Wang Hongfang finished speaking, she closed the door with a bang.

Liu Cuilan sighed helplessly, and began to pick up fruits and eggs on the ground.

"Mom... don't pick it up, we don't want it!"

"Stupid boy, how can we not want this, we are usually reluctant to eat such a good fruit, don't be such a pity" Liu Cuilan said with her back to Zhang Xian, picking it up.

"Mom! I've already said it, we don't want it anymore!" Zhang Xian grabbed Liu Cuilan's shoulder and forced her to stop and turn around.

Turning around, Zhang Xian saw the light yellow egg liquid on his mother's clothes, and her red eye sockets.Accompanied by the stench of eggs, Liu Cuilan's tears rolled down quietly.

"Xian'er, Mom is sorry for you. I couldn't give you a better life when you were a child. Now that you have grown up, I can't even help you find a wife. Mom is useless..."

"Mom...don't be like this, let's go home, let's go home first." Zhang Xian held back tears and picked up the remaining fruits and helped Liu Cuilan up.

As soon as Zhang Xian's mother and son arrived home, their father Zhang Lu and younger sister Zhang Yuxin, who had been waiting for a long time, came up to ask about the result.

But there was no way to say what happened today, so Zhang Xian could only shake his head in frustration.Seeing this, Zhang Yuxin didn't have much to say, so she put the food in the pot on the table, and the whole family ate together sullenly.

After dinner in the evening, Zhang Xian sat by the bed alone, thinking about Li Qian's indifference today, the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't understand why, so he decided to call and ask.

"Qianqian." Zhang Xian spoke as soon as the phone was connected. "What's wrong with you today? Why haven't you spoken?"

"Brother Xian... My mother is actually right. I will marry you, so you have to give me some security."

Hearing Li Qian's sweet voice, Zhang Xian seemed to let go of the big stone in his heart, he was afraid that Li Qian would part ways with him just then.

"But Qianqian, you also know that in our family's situation, I really can't afford that much money. You can talk to auntie, and I will treat you well."

"Brother Xian, don't you have a suite in the city center? Although it's a little run-down, the location is good. If you sell it, it should be worth a lot of money."

"Then what should my parents do? The house belongs to them, and they are all very old..."

"That's right! They are all very old, and your father is not in good health. He just sold the house and went back to the countryside to recuperate!"

Zhang Xian was taken aback when he heard Li Qian's words, and then thought of all the things his mother had suffered during the day, so he opened his mouth and refused.

"They are my parents. They worked hard to raise me. Now, not only can I not let them live a good life, but I also want them to go to the countryside to suffer. Am I still a human being?"

"That's right! It's just your parents' hard work! The hardships I have suffered with you in the past few years, the grievances I have suffered for you, and the wasted youth are all worthless!"

Hearing that Li Qian on the other end of the phone became emotional, Zhang Xian also panicked.

"No, it's not like that. I love you, but they are my parents. I can't treat them like this. So I really can't sell this house!"

"I understand now, you only have your parents in your heart! I'm not important to you at all!"

"Qianqian..."

"Okay! You don't need to say any more!" Zhang Xian was interrupted by Li Qian before he finished speaking, "I originally picked up this call just to give you another chance, but now it seems that there is no need for it. Just don't contact me!"

After finishing speaking, there was a beeping sound from the other end of the phone, and when he called back, he found that he had been blacklisted, Zhang Xian was stunned.

Zhang Xian is a senior marketing student at Changsheng University. There are relatively few senior courses, and they are all in their 20s. It is not surprising that they are talking about marriage.

What happened yesterday kept Zhang Xian up all night, and he set off for school in the morning exhausted and sad.

When approaching the school gate, Zhang Xian seemed to hear a sweet and gentle voice calling himself behind him.

"Zhang Xian?"

Zhang Xian turned his head and saw a very attractive girl smiling at her behind him.

The girl had jet-black hair draped over one shoulder, and wore a black and white suit.

Around the neck hung a thin chain.

A thigh-length black suit skirt was attached to the hips, drawing a perfect arc.

At this moment, the child was smiling at Zhang Xian, with pink lips and peach blossom eyes, she was many times prettier than Li Qian.
