First Sight Novel Serenity And Zachary
Married at First Sight Gu Lingfei Chapter 978 – “Weren’t you and Jack the reason Mom and Dad asked for a lot of money?
Ask any family, and none of them will tell you that they expect that much for a wedding gift. What would you think if your children’s in–laws demand that much for a wedding too? “That kind of money will be good for me to start a family with Hank.
How canI possibly allow Hank to give it away? It’s only for formalities‘ sake, but what did you tell Mom and Dad? 777,777 dollars is lucky for you. All I get is seven thousand dollars in return, and nothing more.
“Mom and Dad will get a hundred thousand dollars while you and Jack get three hundred thousand each. Why? Why are they selling their daughter to
give their sons everything? What about the daughter?” Faced with her sister’s questioning, Oscar turned red in the face and lashed out,
” You’re favoring outsiders instead of family. We’re your brothers. You should get more out of the Browns since they’re wealthy, but you can’t get
anything now because you’re married. “You went behind our backs and got married to Hank. Look, the 777,777– dollar gift is now seventy thousand.
What’s wrong with helping me and Jack out when you’re getting a nice life in the city? It’s normal for siblings to help one another.”
“Just because I’m your sister doesn’t mean I owe you.
Why should I give you all the help when life is not even good for me? Why should I give you everything to renovate your houses? What about me? I don’t even know if I have a bedroom, let alone a home, with Hank. Why should I suffer while you live the life?
“We’re all Mom and Dad’s children. Sure, I owe Mom and Dad my life, and I’m not saying I won’t help them out financially. You can give a little
something to our parents too. Like you, I can contribute to their medical bills if they fall sick.
“I don’t owe you and Jack anything!” “You’re not really part of the family anymore since you’re taking Hank’s family name. Do whatever you want. I don’t have time for you.” Unable to win the argument, Oscar grimaced and opened the car door to walk away.
Jessica was fuming too. With the five thousand dollars coming to mind, she opened the car door and shouted at her brother’s receding figure, “Give me back the five thousand dollars, Oscar!” He better cough up the money since he was not doing her bidding. Oscar took off running.
Fat chance of him ever returning the money! He believed his sister would not cause a scene over five thousand dollars.
Jessica was not going to have a falling out with her brother over a small lump of cash.
In fact, she wished she did not have a fight with her brother. How did the situation get out of hand?
Nevertheless, her family’s actions let her down every time she thought about it.
Jessica saw no wrong in asking for a bit more financial help. She believed Hank would not value her if she married into the family without getting
anything out of it.
