Seeing my message, Zhou Wen probably thought that I regretted calling off the marriage.

He couldn't wait to call me.

I didn't want to hear the disgusting voice from their family, so I hung up the phone and replied, "My parents are right here, it's not convenient to take a call. Anything you have to say, we can discuss it like this."

Zhou Wen replied to me, "Tingting, my mom's point is, if she wants to forgive you, you have to show some sincerity. Your family should transfer two houses to us, one for my younger brother and one for my parents. This way, my parents will forgive you and allow you to marry me."

I rolled my eyes, gritted my teeth, and replied, "Is this what you mean as well?"

"Yes, you know I'm filial to my mom, so I can't go against her wishes. She raised me and it really wasn't easy. If you love me, you should also love my parents. Of course, after we're married, I will also love your parents just like I love you."

Many times in the past when we discussed certain things, he used to say the same thing to me. His mom wouldn't agree, his mom wouldn't like it. At that time, I was naive and blind. I thought he was filial.

Now looking back, I realize I was a complete fool, brainwashed by a mama's boy and still considering him.

I slapped myself and warned myself not to make the same mistake again.

Suppressing my anger, I replied to him, "Fine, but you also said you would love my parents as much as you love me. My parents think, based on your parents' attitude today, they feel that if I marry into your family, they won't treat me well. You also know, my parents have always been fond of me, and can't bear to see me suffer. They want to marry us, we can give you two houses, and you must also show some sincerity. My guess is that when I chatted with Zhou Wen, his whole family was gathered around the phone screen watching. So when I mentioned transferring two houses to them, their response was very quick. Almost as soon as I sent it, they replied back to me. Zhou Wen said, "Of course, our family really wants to marry you. My mom said she will buy you a set of Six Fortune Jewelry made of gold. Are you satisfied?" This amount of gold, valued at less than ten thousand, just to exchange for my two houses. They really dared to think like this. I laughed coldly and replied, "My mom bought me the gold. My parents' point is, our family will transfer two houses to you. You should also give something of similar value. That's what we call sincerity. For example, your family's house." In order to trick them, I specifically explained to them, "You can rest assured. My family has many houses, and we don't even care for your family's house. Moreover, my family's house can buy three or four of your family's houses. How could we set our sights on your family's house? My family's point is to see your sincerity. Sufficient sincerity, and only then will they be at ease with me marrying into your family." "And then, after we get married, the houses transferred to me will also be your houses, right?" Since you are brainwashing me, now I'll brainwash you in return. After a long time without a response, I thought they had figured it out and knew I was messing with them. Just as I was coming back from taking a shower, their family was still restless to reply to me, "My mom said it's fine. But your family's two houses must be transferred to us first, or, in other words, both of our families' houses can be transferred together." I was originally going to say nonsense, just so smart of you, but suddenly I thought of the two houses my parents bought at the highest price two years ago. At that time, the price was 30,000 yuan per square meter, and it dropped to about 20,000 yuan in two years. Our family could afford the mortgage, but we thought that with the price dropping like this, the interest was more expensive than buying a new house now. It's better to give away the houses for free to Zhou Wen's family, transfer the mortgage to them, and let them repay it. So I deliberately asked them when we could transfer them. They were afraid that I would change my mind and asked directly if it could be done tomorrow. I immediately consulted the real estate agent we bought the house from and only after getting a satisfactory answer from him did I reply to Zhou Wen's family. They probably got what they wanted, and this family's attitude changed back to the way it used to be, when they used to deceive me. Zhou Wen said, "Baby, if you had agreed earlier, we would have been married today. Oh, I just don't understand why you had to make a fuss, but it's not too late now. After we transfer the houses tomorrow, we will go register our marriage. I will treat you well in the future." I spat. Let's see if you'll still be smiling tomorrow.
