Chapter 298 He stormed off
He Lin had initially enjoyed Chen Ting's occasional shy and timid glances at him, feeling that he was incredibly charming and that even young girls couldn't resist him.
But Chen Ting gave herself away right away. What she meant by asking if he had enough money was that Chen Ting was after his money.
Thinking about this, He Lin began to look down on Chen Ting.
Is it abnormal for Chen Ting to be after his money?
If she's not after his money, why would she be after his difficult child, his frail mother, or his second-hand man?
It's ridiculous, Chen Ting couldn't understand what the original owner was thinking at all.
Don't be fooled by how good He Lin is to her now; after they got married, the original owner of this body took care of the entire household for her.
Are stepchildren so easy to get along with? I don't believe He Lin doesn't know how much the original owner suffered in this family.
Every time her stepson and stepdaughter caused trouble, He Lin would blame the original owner of the body, saying that she hadn't taken good enough care of her.
When they teased the original owner, He Lin said they were still children and told the original owner not to be so petty and to forgive them.
And what about He Lin's frail mother? She may be physically weak, but her heart is not.
She pretended to be weak in front of her son, but in reality, she tormented the original owner of the body at home after her son left for work.
One minute they're complaining that the floor isn't clean enough, the next they're criticizing the original owner's clothes for not being washed properly, or the food for not being cooked well.
She pretends to be kind and understanding to outsiders, but at home she doesn't know how she torments the original owner of the body; she's practically a hypocrite.
And so, in the end, the original owner was content with just one sentence from her: "She's a good wife," and that was the end of the story.
Bah! Chen Ting really feels sorry for the original owner.
He Lin looked unwell, but he still maintained a smile.
"Tingting, don't worry, I brought enough money!"
"That's fine! Besides clothes, I also want a watch!" Chen Ting made another request.
He Lin's face was now incredibly dark. He barely suppressed his anger: "Tingting, didn't we agree on a bride price of 88 yuan, plus a bicycle?"
To be honest, He Lin's choice of Chen Ting was also partly due to the fact that Chen Ting asked for a smaller dowry.
When others heard that he was getting married before, they all demanded exorbitant dowries. Only Chen Ting, this silly girl, fell for He Lin and didn't care about these things.
"How long have you been riding that bicycle? I don't want secondhand stuff! I want the watch!"
"Oh, cousin, a bicycle is enough. Brother He is a city person!"
Cousin Chen Ying pretended to persuade Chen Ting, but in reality she wished Chen Ting would ask for more things, so that Brother He would know how greedy Chen Ting was.
Chen Ying also had a miraculous encounter; she was reborn.
In her past life, she didn't like He Lin and thought her cousin was blind to marry a divorced man.
Who knew that He Lin would later go into business and become a big boss, and his children would all become famous talents, and he even went online to thank Chen Ting.
Netizens call Chen Ting the "most beautiful stepmother." Chen Ying had seen her return to the village in a car, dressed in designer clothes.
She initially married a factory worker, but her husband eventually lost his job.
By this time, He Lin was already a big boss, but in the end, she and her husband could only open a breakfast stall and work hard from dawn till dusk to earn money.
Chen Ying was extremely jealous of Chen Ting, who always traveled in a car.
Unexpectedly, when she opened her eyes, she found herself back on the eve of her cousin's marriage to He Lin.
She was determined to ruin their marriage.
As far as I remember, He Lin was coming over today, so Chen Ying arrived at her cousin's house early to wait for him.
She just didn't expect Chen Ting to be like this. Was it the same in her past life? Did He Lin finally agree?
He Lin is in a bad mood right now. Chen Ting's sudden price increase makes him feel uncomfortable, as if something is out of his control.
"Tingting, stop it. You know my family's situation right now. My mom still needs to take her medicine. I'll buy it for you after I pass my exam next month and get a raise, okay?"
Tsk, what a load of rubbish, but unfortunately Chen Ting isn't buying it.
"No, I won't get married without a watch!"
He can't just not get married. He's already invested so much in Chen Ting. If they don't get married, all of that will be sunk costs.
He Lin thought about it and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, then I'll buy you a watch!"
"Okay!" Chen Ting raised her eyebrows in agreement when she saw that He Lin had actually agreed.
He Lin also breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't that he didn't have the money to buy the watch; he just didn't want to spend it on Chen Ting.
Seeing how easily the two reconciled, Chen Ying became a little anxious.
"Oh my, cousin, you're so lucky! Brother He even bought you a watch! But cousin, did you only ask for the watch because of your younger cousin? I heard from my aunt that she's going to save your dowry for him too!"
Upon hearing Chen Ying's words, He Lin, who had initially breathed a sigh of relief, tensed up again. How could he not bring back the bride price?
Chen Ting's eyes lit up upon hearing this, as she had been struggling to find a reason.
"Yingzi, you're right. The bride price and the watch will all be left to my little brother. Oh, and Brother He, remember to give my little brother a big red envelope on the day you come to pick him up. Let me think, how about 50 yuan? It can't be less, he's my only little brother!"
Chen Ting went to great lengths to sabotage this marriage, even going so far as to portray herself as a "brother-supporting demon."
He Lin couldn't stand it anymore. He had agreed to buy things for Chen Ting so easily because he thought she would bring them back.
It's fine to let the meat rot in your own pot, but you can't give it to others.
He was too hasty; when choosing people, he forgot that Chen Ting had a younger brother.
"Sigh, my younger brother is still small. You're a worker, so when we eat meat at home, I'll have to call my brother over so he can have some too. Hey, is your house big enough? Maybe you could just clean out a room for my brother to live in, so he can eat at home every day." Chen Ting continued to ramble on.
He Lin couldn't take it anymore. He listened to what the other party was saying: not only did they want to eat meat at his house, but they also wanted to stay there.
These days, who has extra houses? And if the brother-in-law goes to his house for meat, what will his child eat?
"Hey, your kid must eat meat all the time, a little less won't hurt. My little brother needs to get some extra nutrition!" Chen Ting said casually.
"That's meat from my family!" He Lin said through gritted teeth. Although the meat was nowhere to be seen yet, he had already thought about that day.
"What do you mean 'yours' and 'mine'? After we get married, everything is mine! As the older sister, can't I even call my younger brother to eat meat?!"
He Lin completely broke down. He had hired someone to take care of his child and mother, not to find someone else to eat his flesh.
"Tingting, let's talk about the wedding later. I have to go!" After saying that, He Lin left without looking back.
Chen Ying was taken aback by this outcome, while Chen Ting was overjoyed, seeing a glimmer of hope for annulment.
