From the moment Wenwen opened her carry-on suitcase and took out the fill light, the look of surprise and envy on Zhang Huixin's face never stopped.

She glanced back and forth between the fill light, the cosmetics, and Wenwen's face. Finally, she raised her chin and said in a very natural tone: "Wenwen, I'm marrying your cousin, but you didn't say anything. Why don't you give me this fill light and these cosmetics? You're not short of money anyway."

[Fuck, how shameless! Miss Wenwen has a box of cosmetics and various jewelry, which is worth tens of thousands of dollars. She really just opened her mouth and asked for it. ]

[Those who know him think he is my cousin, but those who don’t know him think he is my real brother! ]

[Even if it's my brother or sister-in-law who's coming to live with me, giving gifts depends on whether the sister-in-law is willing to do so. But she asked for it herself and said something like, "You're not short of money, and other people's money comes from the wind?"]

Wenwen came back this time to deal with the family members and relatives who were sucking her blood. She would not tolerate Zhang Huixin's unreasonable demands.

"All of mine are used by others. How can I give you second-hand things? Besides, you married my cousin, didn't he give you a new set?"

Wenwen knows her cousin too well. Like her younger brother, he has been pampered by his family since he was a child and grew up to be incompetent and selfish.

As expected, Zhang Huixin's face fell instantly. She muttered, "Your cousin is such a stingy guy. We have been together for 5 years, and he actually thinks I should marry him without a gift. You know our situation. We originally agreed on 28 yuan, but now it's only 8 yuan. How can I expect him to buy me a new one?"

After that, Zhang Huixin changed the subject: "Wenwen, since we had such a good relationship when we were young, you can give these things to me. I don't mind second-hand."

Wenwen smiled and shook her head: "If this gets out, my mother will scold me for not knowing the rules. So, when I return to Hai City, I will send you a new set."

When she heard about returning to Hai City, Zhang Huixin's expression became unnatural for a moment, but she didn't mention the matter of cosmetics again.

Just then, there was a commotion outside the door, and then seven or eight young fat men with an average height of no more than 1.65 meters rushed in. After greeting Zhang Huixin, their eyes all stayed on Wenwen's face.

"This is Wenwen. She's so beautiful now?"

The leading man smiled and said hello, then introduced himself: "I'm Zhang Han, do you remember, my cousin Hui Xin? We were in the same class in elementary school."

After Zhang Han finished speaking, the men behind him burst into laughter. Someone even poked Zhang Han with his elbow and asked him why he was shy. Come on!

The overall atmosphere was like a group of people making fun of an embarrassed young couple.

[Their expressions are so obscene! ]

[Where did these potatoes come from? Miss Wenwen is half a head taller than them, how dare they dream of this? ]

[I finally understand why some women say that some men are ordinary and confident? If a beauty like Miss Wenwen were around me, I would feel like a wild boar that cannot eat fine bran. ]

The men were still chattering, comparing Wenwen and Zhang Huixin. On one hand, they praised Wenwen for being well-fed in the city, while on the other hand, they belittled Zhang Huixin, saying that she was still a country woman no matter how she dressed up.

As the protagonist of today, Zhang Huixin naturally didn't want to have her limelight overshadowed. While Wenwen was fiddling with her cosmetics, she stood up and drove everyone who came over out.

But Zhang Han and others who were driven out did not give up. They leaned on the dilapidated windows and looked inside, blocking out the light that was not bright enough to begin with.

There were many guests at Zhang Huixin's house. Someone saw Zhang Han and his friends leaning on the window and said with a smile, "Hanzi, are you in a hurry to get married? Didn't your mother say that you will get married as soon as Wenwen comes back? Wenwen is coming back today..."

Before he could finish his words, the man's mouth was covered by Zhang Han.

In the bedroom, Zhang Huixin saw Wenwen frowning and quickly tried to smooth things over: "Wenwen, listen to their nonsense. They are just jokes between adults when we were kids. Don't take them seriously."

Suddenly, Ji Chu's voice came from the wireless headset whose right ear was covered by Wenwen's long hair: "If you believe her, you're done!"

Wenwen appeared calm on the surface, but she was actually in turmoil inside.

Ji Chu continued, "Although your hometown is backward, there is no shortage of people for such things as decoration. The reason your parents asked you to come back is because your brother is getting married, and the other party's parents asked for a betrothal gift of 28 yuan."

"In order to have face in the village, your parents used all the money you sent back over the years to build a house. A family of four could have easily accommodated three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and two bathrooms, but they built a three-story building, leaving the top floor empty for decoration."

"Now they have no money, so they can only ask you for money, but you don't give it to them, so they have no choice but to trick you back to find someone to marry and earn some dowry."

"They took your photo and walked around the village. Only Zhang Han's family was willing to pay 30 yuan. Now the money has been given to your parents. That's why Zhang Han looked at you as if he was looking at his own wife."

[Behind the high-priced bride price, there is basically a hungry brother or younger brother, and then these people clamor for others to sell their daughters online. It seems that all the money is spent on these invisible people, and the blame for the high bride price is placed on the women? ]

[If you can't afford to have children, don't have them. Brothers and sisters have no obligation to support each other! ]

[How disgusting! Isn't this definitely human trafficking? ]

Ji Chu shook his head: "Is this disgusting? There are even more disgusting things."

"The custom in Miss Wenwen's hometown is to pick up the bride at night. On the way to pick up the bride, there are people who grab the bride. Of course, grabbing the bride is just to liven up the atmosphere, not a real robbery."

"But tonight, they are really planning to rob the bride, and their target is Miss Wenwen."

"Zhang Han's conditions are not good. He is not good-looking, not tall, and does not have a stable job. He just stays at home all day long, drinking and playing cards with his shady friends."

"Ms. Wenwen's parents knew that she would definitely not agree to this marriage, so they teamed up with Zhang Huixin to kidnap the bride in order to make the matter a fait accompli."

[I really can’t imagine what would have happened to Miss Wenwen if she hadn’t met that kind breakfast shop owner.]

[For someone like Zhang Han, if he ate a piece of my watermelon in a KTV, I would call the police, not to mention sleeping with him. If he just held my hand, I would have to use 84 bottles to wash his skin off.]

[Didn't they say Miss Wenwen's hometown was poor? How come she could just take 30 yuan? ]

[That is all the money that parents have saved since they were young. Some of them are even borrowed from foreign debts. After marriage, the woman and her husband need to repay it together.]

[Isn't this the same as borrowing money to marry yourself off? ]

[Yes, if a woman can bring money back to her new home, it’s considered good. Some money is given by parents to her elder brother or younger brother, and the woman will be looked down upon by her husband’s family. If she is not as satisfied as her husband’s family, they will talk about it, such as: If it weren’t for marrying you, would our family owe so much money? ]

[Sisters, don’t take poor men’s money, it’s their life! ]
