Returning the Betrothal Gift

Jiang Rang curled her lips into a cold smile. Gao Jiazhen was exactly that kind of person; she was always afraid of losing face. In her previous life, Cheng Wennian had also been in a similar situation, and afterwards, she had used sweet words to comfort Jiang Rang. She claimed to treat Jiang Rang like her own daughter, but what happened in the end? In the end, she pointed her finger directly at Jiang Rang's nose and cursed her, calling her a barren hen who couldn't lay eggs. She also cursed Jiang Rang, saying she was clinging to the Cheng family, refusing to release her son, and then joyfully welcomed her new daughter-in-law.

Jiang Rang said, "Of course, in the future, everyone will marry, and no one will be related to anyone else. If the Cheng family doesn't need a witness, that's your business. As for me, I've asked Director Ye to be here as a witness today, and that's enough. Today, we are here to retrieve my dowry."

Gao Jiazhen immediately became agitated. Her family was not wealthy, and if Jiang Rang left, her family would have to find another daughter-in-law for her son, which would be an expense. So, for her at this moment, it was not a time to save face but to be clear-headed and a little shameless.

Gao Jiazhen said, "Before, our Cheng family gave the Jiang family 88 yuan as a betrothal gift. Xiao Rang also worked at the tea factory in my place. So, how do we account for these things now?"

Ye Shuanghua couldn't bear it anymore and scornfully said, "Xiao Rang has been living in your house for three years, Gao Jiazhen. Are you not ashamed to demand an accounting for these things now? Xiao Rang doesn't care about that job at the tea factory at all; she has already come to me to resign."

Jiang Rang took out 88 yuan from the small bag she always carried with her and handed it to Cheng Wennian, saying to him, "I have returned the job at the tea factory to your Cheng family. Cheng Wennian, you gave me these 88 yuan as a betrothal gift before. Now I am returning this money to you. From now on, we will have no further relationship. From this day forward, you are you, and I am I. Everyone in this room is a witness."
