National online game: One second increases your lifespan by one year, am I immortal?

Night falls.

Jiang Chen returned home humming a cheerful song.

But as soon as I pushed open the gate of the yard, I heard a quarrel coming from the north room.

"If your Jiang Chen wants to marry our Xiao Cui, the 30 yuan betrothal gift cannot be less than a cent!"

"Why don't you go and ask around? Who doesn't give so much as a dowry when marrying off their daughter these days?"

"Besides, our Xiao Cui is so beautiful, I don't know how many people will rush to pay such a large amount of betrothal gifts to our family!"

"If it weren't for the fact that Jiang Chen and Xiao Cui are childhood sweethearts, I wouldn't be willing to marry my daughter to your Jiang family!"

……

Jiang Chen's expression suddenly turned cold.

He frowned and strode to the door of the north room. With just a glance, he could see the situation inside the room clearly.

At this moment, Xiao Yumei was sitting in the first seat in the main hall.

A middle-aged couple was sitting on the left seat, and a girl of about eighteen or nineteen was sitting on the right seat.

"Brother Jiang Chen!"

The girl suddenly noticed Jiang Chen at the door. She immediately stood up, called him "brother" sweetly, and then walked over quickly.

"Xiao Cui?"

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and a strange look flashed across his face.

That's right!

The girl in front of him, wearing a floral dress and full of youthfulness, is Jiang Chen’s childhood sweetheart - Yang Xiaocui.

The middle-aged couple sitting in the guest seat on the left are Yang Xiaocui's parents.

"Brother Jiang Chen, where did you go just now? I walked around the village, but why didn't I see you?"

Yang Xiaocui blinked her beautiful big eyes, took the initiative to hug Jiang Chen's arm and shook it gently, looking very coquettish.

however……

Jiang Chen seemed to have seen a ghost. He quickly pulled his arm out of Yang Xiaocui's arms, then walked into the main room without saying a word and went straight to Xiao Yumei.

"you……"

Yang Xiaocui was turned away by Jiang Chen, and her face immediately became a little ugly.

There was a flash of anger in her eyes, but three seconds later, it was replaced by an aggrieved expression.

"Brother Jiang Chen, why are you ignoring me? Did I do something wrong to make you angry?"

Yang Xiaocui looked at Jiang Chen pitifully, with tears welling up in her eyes. People who didn't know the situation would think that she had suffered a great injustice!

Jiang Chen ignored Yang Xiaocui, nor did he pay attention to Yang's father and mother. Instead, he turned around and gave Xiao Yumei a questioning look.

Xiao Yumei glanced at Jiang Chen in surprise, then said, "Xiao Chen, Uncle Yang and Aunt Guihua brought Xiao Cui to our house today to discuss your engagement with Xiao Cui..."

Before Xiao Yumei could finish her words, Jiang Chen immediately frowned and said, "Engagement? What engagement? When did I agree to be engaged to Xiao Cui?"

As soon as Jiang Chen said this, the whole place fell silent!

But after a brief silence, Yang Xiaocui's mother Liu Guihua immediately slammed the table and asked, "Jiang Chen, what do you mean by this?"

"What do you mean? Wasn't what I said clear enough?"

Jiang Chen sneered and said, "I don't agree to get engaged to Xiao Cui. She's not my girlfriend, so why should I get engaged to her?"

"what?!"

"Jiang Chen, you and our Xiao Cui grew up together as childhood sweethearts. Who in Taoyuan Village doesn't know that you two are a couple?"

"Now, you deny the relationship between you two?"

"Are you trying to take advantage of everything and refusing to admit your mistake?"

"Jiang Chen, I just want to ask, has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"

……

Jiang Chen's words completely angered Liu Guihua.

Before coming, Liu Guihua had already discussed with her husband that Jiang Chen must pay a betrothal gift of 30 yuan before she would marry her daughter to him.

but……

Jiang Chen did not play by the rules. He denied his relationship with Yang Xiaocui as soon as he opened his mouth, catching Liu Guihua off guard!

"Oh!"

Liu Guihua slammed the table hard and shouted in a sharp voice: "Jiang Chen, I'm going to make this clear today. You must give our family 30 yuan as a betrothal gift, not a cent less!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen was immediately amused.

Wasn’t what I just said clear enough?

Don't you understand what people are saying?

Are you marrying off your daughter or selling her?

Even if you are selling our daughter, you can't force her to buy or sell!

"Wasn't it 20 yuan for the betrothal gift? How did it become 30 yuan?"

Jiang Chen ignored the crazy Liu Guihua and turned to ask Xiao Yumei in a low voice.

"how could I know?"

Xiao Yumei rolled her eyes, then lowered her voice and said, "They raised the price temporarily and insisted on a betrothal gift of 30 yuan, otherwise they would not let Xiao Cui marry you."

"Oh, is this what you were arguing about just now?"

Jiang Chen looked at Xiao Yumei with amusement. She was now sitting in the main seat, and had quite the aura of the Jiang family's mistress.

"We had clearly agreed on a 20 yuan betrothal gift, but now they've raised the price by 10 yuan at the last minute. Do they really think we're being taken advantage of?"

Xiao Yumei glared at Liu Guihua who was losing her temper, her face full of disgust.

"Okay, don't worry about it, leave it to me."

Jiang Chen patted Xiao Yumei on the shoulder and gave her a reassuring look.

"Wait a moment!"

Xiao Yumei suddenly pulled Jiang Chen's arm, bit her lip and said, "Xiao Chen, if you really want to marry Xiao Cui, our family can still afford the 30 yuan betrothal gift."

Jiang Chen glared and replied unhappily: "Sister-in-law, have you forgotten what I said to you in the game last night?"

"What...what are you talking about?"

Xiao Yumei's eyes dodged for a moment, as if she had thought of something, and a blush immediately appeared on her pretty face.

Jiang Chen suddenly bent down, put his mouth close to Xiao Yumei's ear, lowered his voice and said: "I don't want Xiao Cui, I only want you!"

"you……"

Xiao Yumei's long eyelashes suddenly trembled slightly, and her pretty face instantly turned red all the way to her neck.

"Sister-in-law, if you don't agree, I will never get married in my life!"

Jiang Chen pressed on step by step, seemingly not wanting to give Xiao Yumei any chance to refuse.

in silence.

Xiao Yumei lowered her head and thought seriously for a while. After a long while, she asked in a low voice: "Xiaochen, are you...are you serious?"

"Of course I'm serious. Do you think I'm joking?"

"Well...I'll think about it."

"Okay, I'll give you three seconds to think about it!"

"You little brat, are you itching for trouble? Do you want to get beaten again?"

"Haha! Time's up, give me an answer quickly!"

"..."

Jiang Chen and Xiao Yumei exchanged glances and whispered to each other as if no one was around.

During this time, Xiao Yumei pinched Jiang Chen, and Jiang Chen exaggeratedly showed a grinning expression.

Xiao Yumei wanted to laugh, but was too embarrassed to laugh out loud in front of everyone, so she could only cover her mouth and stare at Jiang Chen with both anger and amusement.

This scene immediately made Liu Guihua very angry!

The whole family is still sitting here!

You two are flirting with each other, do you have any shame?

"Oh!"

Liu Guihua suddenly slammed the table, and the loud noise startled everyone present.

"Good for you Jiang Chen!"

"Now I finally understand why you don't want to marry Xiao Cui. It turns out that you are having an affair with your sister-in-law!"

"Jiang Chen, are you out of your mind?"

"Xiao Yumei is just a widow, and she's so much older than you. You two are not suitable at all!"

"On the other hand, our Xiao Cui just turned 20 this year. She is as beautiful as a flower, and she is still a virgin!"

"You didn't choose Xiao Cui, but chose a widow. Are you stupid?"
