Special Agent Rebirth: The Omnipotent Goddess of Quick Transmigration novel Chapter 835

Chapter 835: 825 Reborn in the Eighties (8) Second Update

This was the result of Mrs. Ye’s daylong trip to the neighboring village yesterday.

In several villages around, many had their eyes on Shaohua, and while the Xun Family looked down on her, it was fine to settle for someone slightly less prestigious.

A household with a thousand yuan was already considered wealthy at this time, after all, pork hind leg meat was only eighty cents a pound.

If the marriage truly succeeded, just the bridal price alone would be several dozen yuan, and that family wasn’t lacking money. They had several valuable items at home, and Mrs. Ye estimated that if they could include a sewing machine in the dowry, there would be something left for Ye Xinghui’s betrothal gifts.

She was certainly planning to make a good sum of money from Shaohua.

Mrs. Ye didn’t feel she was harming her daughter; on the contrary, she believed she had chosen a good family for her, "Don’t worry, would I harm you? Many people in the surrounding villages want to join that family, but they haven’t agreed to any. Guess what, their son said he took a fancy to you. You’re really lucky. Once you’re in their family, you’ll live a life of comfort, something I couldn’t even dream of..."

Shaohua pinched her fingers together, her expression remaining calm, "I won’t marry, I want to continue my studies."

Mrs. Ye was busy envisioning Shaohua’s future.

When she heard these words, the smile on her face instantly solidified, "What did you say? You want to study? Where will the money come from for your studies? Forget about it, don’t even think about it!"

"Oh." Shaohua replied indifferently, not taking it to heart.

As soon as Mrs. Ye heard that Shaohua was leaving, she immediately squeezed over to close the door and picked up the broom beside her to strike, "That’ll teach you not to listen!"

"Mom, what are you doing?" Ye Xinghui, with a cold face, came out upon hearing the noise.

Mrs. Ye always coddled this son of hers, and when she saw him come out, she immediately put down the broom, "Son, why did you come out so early? Why not sleep a little longer?"

"I’m asking what you’re doing?"

"It’s all her fault. I found her a match with a family worth a thousand yuan from the village next door. Isn’t that for her own good? Yet she refuses to marry and insists on studying. We haven’t even paid her tuition for this year. Where is the money supposed to come from?" Mrs. Ye said angrily.

"The family worth a thousand yuan in the neighboring village," Ye Xinghui’s face grew dark, "You mean the family whose son is an idiot?"

Hearing Ye Xinghui’s words, Shaohua gave him an extra glance.

Mrs. Ye’s face changed, and then she sat on the floor, "Are you blaming me? But am I not doing this all for you? Look at our home, where is there any money left? How will you get married in the future? Your older sister still has to attend university. Don’t food and necessities cost money? Relying on the bit of salary your father earns from the factory won’t be enough!"

"I will earn the money when I need it," Ye Xinghui walked back to his room, then after a moment came out with a cigarette case. He took out a bunch of small bills from the case and slapped them next to Shaohua, "Take it and pay the tuition!"

The tuition was only five yuan, and if she attended university, she could get tuition exemption, but living expenses and book fees were still required.

Shaohua hadn’t expected Ye Xinghui to actually hand her a stack of money.

All were in denominations of one or two cents, with a few two-cent paper notes among them, which looked quite new, probably exchanged from small coins.

Mrs. Ye was stunned by Ye Xinghui’s actions, "Where did you get the money?"

"None of your business." Ye Xinghui waved his hand irritably, showing his impatience towards Mrs. Ye.

Mrs. Ye felt heartbroken by Ye Xinghui’s action, "Fine, everything is my fault, is that what you think? From now on, you don’t need to eat or wear anything I provide. My life is such a sob story, one after another, you’re all nothing but debt collectors to me..."
