Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All novel Chapter 549

Chapter 549: Chapter 549: Increasing Pressure

"Am I supposed to hold out my hand to the Luo Family’s eldest brother and ask him to bring a wife into my home for me?"

Meng Xingsheng’s expression was despondent, yet if one paid close attention, it was not hard to detect a hint of resentment in his eyes.

Wang Guilan: "I don’t have the face for that."

Meng Xingsheng: "So you’re going to let me and the other brothers remain bachelors?"

"Are you all without hands or feet, unable to earn your own dowries?"

The old coot had kicked the bucket swiftly, leaving her alone to suffer in this household. Had she known this day would come, she would have never entered Old Meng’s Family’s door.

As Wang Guilan glanced at Meng Xingsheng and Meng Xingping, then looked out the doorway at a few of the younger ones, she felt a burden so heavy she could hardly breathe.

"Mom..." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Meng Xingping suddenly spoke up.

Wang Guilan: "Speak if you have something to say."

Meng Xingping: "Relying on earning work points and waiting for the year-end payout from the brigade, it could still take at least two or three years for my second brother and me to afford a bride."

"Having some is better than none. If worst comes to worst, you’ll have to think of other ways yourselves." Without their share of the public grain, like all the other villagers, weren’t they all earning work points in the fields?

If you don’t want to work, fine, but come time for the brigade to distribute the grain, you’ll get nothing. And at the end of the year when they distribute the cash, you’ll still get nothing.

"Put a bit more effort in, with the labor of you and your second brother, the money you get before the New Year won’t be little."

Hearing his mother say this, Meng Xingping pursed his lips and, ultimately, said nothing more before turning around and leaving the room.

Meng Xingsheng then asked Wang Guihua: "How much money can our family come up with right now?" Shuicao was a good girl, and he didn’t want to wait any longer.

"Can’t you do the math yourself? When your elder brother got married, our family already owed quite a bit of debt, and we’ve only managed to pay back a portion so far." Wang Guihua’s meaning was clear—there was no money!
