Chapter 625: Chapter 626 Sister Like Mother 43_1

Huang Man, laden with packages big and small, approached her home, seeing from afar Huang Xin crying and incessantly saying someone bullied him, not wanting daddy to die.

It appeared that someone wanted to open a shop, and the shop should not have opened by now.

Huang Xin must have been driven into a corner with no alternative but to make a big fuss, hoping to force Zhao Mei into yielding and releasing the money.

Huang Man didn’t want to face this situation, so she took a different route home.

She thought that having avoided Huang Xin, she would at most hear Zhao Mei’s complaints upon returning home, yet to her surprise, both Zhao Mei and Huang Lina were causing a commotion at home.

What’s going on? Huang Man was taken aback, only after listening for a while did she learn that Huang Lina also wanted to open a shop, hoping to get a hundred thousand to start her clothing store.

As a result, Zhao Mei disagreed vehemently, and while disagreeing, she fiercely scolded Huang Lina, accusing her of undercutting her own family.

Huang Lina certainly wouldn’t admit to that accusation and immediately argued back with Zhao Mei, casting her in the worst possible light.

She aired all the dirty laundry from over the years; Huang Man truly didn’t expect that the things she had envied about Li Na, in the latter’s eyes, were seen as sheer favoritism.

"Whenever there’s something tasty, Huang Xin is the first to eat."

"You give Huang Xin pocket money. How could you not think that I also need pocket money?"

Li Na, recalling the gloomy days of the past, cried and complained.

Huang Man shook her head helplessly; compared to Huang Xin, who in the family could surpass him? Even Huang Zhiqiang, the main breadwinner, was treated less favorably than his son.

That Li Na still wished to compare her treatment with Huang Xin’s was truly an act of self-destruction. Looking up at Zhao Mei, well, the latter was indeed angry.

Zhao Mei had not expected this daughter to have such deep resentment and dissatisfaction towards them.

"Precisely because you harbor so much dissatisfaction with me, don’t even dream of me giving you money," Zhao Mei said.

"Just give up on that thought. It’s absolutely impossible. I had once thought that, when you marry, I would let you take half of the bride price offered by the groom’s side."

According to Zhao Mei and her husband’s original plan, the bride prices for their daughters were to be kept at home, and the dowry would consist of just a few quilts.

They never considered how the daughter-in-law’s family offering a hefty bride price would think, after all, they had a son.

Zhao Mei had a liking for Li Na and wanted her to take half with her, but now knowing she was an ingrate, how could they let her take half? That was completely out of the question.

"I won’t be giving you your bride price," Li Na stated, clearly not foolish. Whatever the groom’s family might offer, it would never be hers to claim. Hence she would definitely not let her family hold onto that bride price.

"You..." Zhao Mei thought about it and calmed down. "Anyway, I’m not in a hurry. If you want to get married, you need to take your household registration booklet to the marriage registry office."

"Without the household registration booklet, don’t even think about getting the marriage certificate."

"You should know that without a marriage certificate, your marriage to your man will not be protected." At that moment, Zhao Mei was extremely thankful for the TV drama she had watched, which included this kind of plot.

Huang Man had intended to turn and leave immediately. After three days of exhausting exams, she was truly weary, her nerves stretched tight, and she just wanted to rest properly.

Hearing this, she suddenly became tense. How could she have forgotten about this matter? When she was accepted to university, her household registration would have to be transferred.

If Zhao Mei held onto her booklet and refused to let her carry out the procedure, whether she could attend university at all was a big question.

What to do? After thinking it over, Huang Man decided she still needed to get her hands on the household registration booklet; only with it in her possession could she feel relieved.

Carrying her luggage, Huang Man walked into the room. "Mom, give me the household registration booklet."

Zhao Mei hadn’t expected Huang Man to come back home. "You, why have you come back now?"

"The college entrance exams are over." Truly a child who was neglected, even in times when celebrating exam success wasn’t popular and parents wouldn’t wait for the students under the scorching sun, at least parents would prepare something delicious for the student.

When it was the Huang family’s turn, Zhao Mei didn’t even think of this matter, "If I get into college, I’ll need to go through the procedure for transferring my household registration."

Such a thing was possible? Zhao Mei’s eyes lit up in an instant, thinking about how to proceed, well aware that she had money at her disposal.

If she wasn’t willing to spend the money, and there were no connections to pull strings, then it would just mean not attending college. It’d be perfect to go out and work, and after a few years of working, she could arrange for a marriage and receive a hefty dowry at that time.

The more Zhao Mei thought about it, the more delighted she became, only to suddenly find herself being pulled up to her feet, already off the ground.

This really scared Zhao Mei, and when she opened her eyes, she realized it was Huang Man, "You, you..."

"Sorry to ruin your beautiful dream, but I feel like since I’ve been away from home for a while, you’ve forgotten some things. I think it’s necessary to jog your memory a bit."

"I, I don’t want to." As Zhao Mei recalled the days when Huang Man had lost her temper, all her thoughts of gaining the upper hand faded immediately.

She was genuinely worried that if she didn’t get the money, this unfilial daughter would indeed show no mercy.

"I’ll give it, I’ll give it," Zhao Mei backed down, repeatedly indicating that she would hand over the household registration book.

"Give it to me now." Huang Man wasn’t going to wait until she received the admission notice to ask for the household registration book, just in case something unexpected happened.

Zhao Mei dared not delay and obediently went back to her room to get the household registration book, "Here."

Huang Man took the household registration book and checked it over. Alright, all four family members were listed, "Good, I’ll keep this. I’ll give it back to you once the procedures are done."

"By the way, Zhao Mei, don’t think about reporting the household registration book as lost." Huang Man gave Zhao Mei a preemptive warning.

"I’ll be taking our household registration book to the police station to make inquiries often."

"If I find out you’ve reported it lost, you know what will happen."

"If you prevent me from attending college, I won’t let you off easily."

"Unless you’re not at home, otherwise, each and every one of you will have a hard time."

"Your son wants to open a shop, right? I will ensure his shop won’t have a peaceful start."

Huang Man was unapologetically harsh with her words, "Of course, don’t even think about going out and chatting with people. I’ll be following you all the time."

Seeing the seemingly smiling Huang Man, Zhao Mei shuddered uncontrollably, "Rest assured, I will definitely not do such things."

"By the way, I’ve been thinking, I feel like we need to sign an agreement. For example, I attend college without asking you for a cent for tuition."

Zhao Mei expressed that there would be no problem with this agreement. She could sign it.

"Let me finish," Huang Man of course knew that if she didn’t ask her for tuition, Zhao Mei would definitely insist. "In exchange, while I’m studying, don’t even think about asking me for money to support you."

"After all, you have a substantial sum of compensation in your hands."

"Oh, and when signing this agreement, you’ll need to provide a photocopy of the bankbook to prove you have enough money to last for seven or eight years."

"And don’t even think about making trouble at the college I’ll be attending during my studies," Huang Man put forth her conditions.

"So after I graduate from college, can you give me money?" Zhao Mei asked in return.

"Have you retired yet?" Huang Man was definitely not going to relax her stance, "Let’s talk about it when you’re 50 years old."

"Even if you sue me in court, I don’t care."

"Because you have the ability to earn money."
