Chapter 75: Chapter 75: They are Showing off Their Romance!_1
Meng Yunhan poured a glass of water for Wang Minfang, then sat down on the edge of the bed before answering Wang Minfang’s question, “He treats me very well. He may seem cold, but he cares deeply for me and sends money home every month.”
Seeing the look of bliss on Meng Yunhan’s face, Wang Minfang felt a pang of hurt. She had once looked down on Yunhan, but now Yunhan was living well.
Thinking of this made her slightly uncomfortable.
“You’re really lucky,” Wang Minfang said bitterly.
“Xiaofang, you’re about to get married and your husband is beside you. You should be happier than me. Oh, and let me know when the ceremony is so I can come to your wedding feast,” teased Meng Yunhan intentionally.
She had originally not wanted to quarrel with Wang Minfang. However, if she kept being a bother, then Yunhan wouldn’t mind letting loose. A bit of drama to spice up her otherwise boring life wouldn’t hurt!
Yunhan found herself suddenly missing that man. She wondered if he missed her too.
Wang Minfang was a bit embarrassed, but she was reminded of the argument she had with her soon-to-be husband about their wedding preparations.
Unable to hold back her grievances, she vented to Meng Yunhan, “He doesn’t want to spend money on a wedding feast, saying it’s a waste. I’ve told him, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime event, but he’s still unwilling.”
Meng Yunhan looked surprised, “It may be a once-in-a-lifetime event, but if he’s unwilling, so be it!”
“Enough about him. Just thinking about it makes me furious. The Zhang Family is marrying me off and doesn’t want to spend a dime. I think it’s already very generous of me not demanding a bride-price from them.”
“No bride-price? I thought they gave one.”
Wang Minfang asked quietly, “How much bride-price did the Yun Family give you?”
“Two hundred Yuan, and after the wedding, my husband gave me all his money and notes,” Meng Yunhan said proudly.
After he joined the army, he also gave her his mission allowance. And when he returned, he sent money to her every month.
In the past, Yunhan had kept him at arm’s length, barely using anything from him and seldom writing to him. In fact, this man, while cold-faced, was very attentive to her.
Wang Minfang was intensely jealous.
She didn’t even receive a bride price, and the Zhang Family couldn’t even provide the money for a wedding banquet. She compared it to the Yun Family, who were farmers, and yet they had managed to provide for her needs. Meanwhile, the Zhang Family were workers receiving a monthly wage, and they should be subsidizing their married life as it was his fault making him do farm work in the first place.
When compared to the Zhang Family, her situation seemed even more miserable.
“Your husband really loves you.” Given that Yun Hao, the youngest son of the Yun Family, held a high-ranking position in the army, he received a higher stipend than regular workers every month. This money was now being sent back to Yunhan, showing how well she was living.
Compared to her, Wang Minfang felt neglected. They were both educated urban girls sent to perform manual labor in Qingzhao Village. Why was there such a huge disparity?
Without comparison, there wouldn’t be feelings of dissatisfaction.
The more she compared, the more irritable she became!
Certainly, Meng Yunhan was hoping for this outcome.
“He may seem cold on the surface, but he’s really good to me.” Meng Yunhan said, her face breaking into a broad smile. If this conversation had taken place decades later, she would have added: ‘This is us flaunting our happiness!’
Wang Minfang’s smile grew more forced. She, who once looked down on Meng Yunhan, must be feeling bitter now that she saw how well Meng Yunhan was living.
