Starting with a piece of farmland, located in the heart of a city where every inch of land is worth its weight in gold! Gazing at the pumpkins, rows of chili plants, and cucumber vines, everyone was utterly bewildered. "Growing crops on this billion-dollar piece of land; has Su Ming lost his mind?" Su Ming, however, remained calm and composed. "Ding! Congratulations, host, the pumpkin vine has produced 24K pure gold pumpkins*36.” "Ding! Congratulations, host, the chili plants have produced Longines high-end wristwatches*78.” "Ding! Congratulations, host, the diamonds within the cucumbers are all ripe!” "Please begin the harvest…" All you see is the surface; you will never understand the joy I derive from farming!
"Su Ming, if you want to marry my daughter, the dowry must be 500 thousand, not a cent less!"
"Also, you must buy a flat within the second ring road with an area of 150 square meters, and it only can be registered under my daughter's name. The decoration must be good; after all, we old folks will live there too. However, your parents are not allowed to!"
"Plus, you must have a car worth at least 200 thousand!"
"You will also need to cover your brother-in-law's university tuition and living expenses for four years. When he gets married, buys a car, and buys a house, you must pay for the dowry."
Su Ming stood in the living room, listening to his future mother-in-law's demands, his eyebrows furrowed heavily: "Auntie, didn't we agree that it would only be 300 thousand dowry? How come…."
"What?! Not willing?!"
Li Cuihua slammed the table and spoke harshly, "My little Xue is beautiful and highly educated. You're just a hillbilly, your family lives in the countryside, and your parents are just poor peasants. If my little Xue likes you, it's your good fortune! Besides, she is pregnant with your child!"
"Ask around, isn't this the going price for marrying a daughter?"
"My son just started university, and there are a lot of expenses. It's always the elder brother-in-law who supports the younger brother-in-law. If you don't pay, who will?!"
"If you have no money, then this marriage is off. You might as well go back and help your parents with farming!"
Li Cuihua was aggressive and arrogant.
Upon hearing this, Su Ming felt a sudden surge of anger. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, but swallowed his anger.
A month ago, Su Ming met Wang Xue in a bar. They got along very well and unknowingly got drunk. When they woke up, they found themselves in the same bed.
Later, Wang Xue said that she was pregnant.
Su Ming's parents were overjoyed when they found out. They worked hard to earn money and shamelessly borrowed money to make up the 300 thousand, so the two could get married.
Not long ago, Li Cuihua's family had renovated their home and purchased appliances, all paid for by Su Ming.
Today was the official day of their marriage proposal. They had initially agreed on a price of three hundred thousand, only for it to suddenly increase to five hundred thousand at the last moment, with a slew of additional conditions attached!
"Auntie, this...this..."
Su Ming opened his mouth: "The money for your home renovation and appliances was all paid by me. I don't really have any extra money now, could you perhaps be a little lenient? I can earn more in the future...."
"You're out of your mind!"
Li Cuihua's face was full of disdain, and she rolled her eyes dramatically: "So what if we spent over a hundred thousand of your money on our home renovation? The daughter-in-law of Old Su next door directly bought a new house for her mother-in-law, costing over a million. You, on the other hand, are just a poor farmer—so destitute that you think it's enough to use over a hundred thousand to try and impress us?"
Su Ming was at a loss for words.
When I was bearing the expenses for your family's refrigerator, TV, and air conditioner, you didn't have this attitude, did you?
You called me your son-in-law in a very friendly tone, didn't you?
Once the goods were bought and became yours, you switched your attitude as if you were playing a face-changing game.
And how fast you changed faces!
"Xiao Xue..."
Su Ming turned his pleading gaze to Wang Xue.
"Don't look at me."
Wang Xue was playing with her phone, not even bothering to give him a glance, "I'm a girl. I should listen to my mom. Whatever she says, goes."
After saying that Wang Xue sneered inwardly.
Were it not for the accident of winning a prize when they went out last month, and now being in a rush to find a scapegoat, did she think she would even consider him, the mud-legged peasant?
Dream on!
Su Ming clenched his fists and gnashed his teeth.
"Su Ming, I really had no other choice-my younger brother has to get married in the future, and the dowry is at least 500,000. You can say you're preparing for his future."
Wang Xue continued, "This price is pretty fair for you, I didn't even ask for a penny more."
What a meritorious sacrifice for her brother!
"Ding! Li Cuihua's Wang Xue looks down on peasants who farm, squeezing the host. The Farm System has been triggered, providing a cash gift of five million!"
"Ding! Mission triggered."
