Chapter Summary
Besides, they just introduced you as a War General-level expert, so I don't think 20 million is too much for us..." When he finished speaking, everyone around gasped. If Sun Qiang wasn't a warrior-level expert, who else do you think would pay you that much money? If Sun Qiang wasn't so proactive, even if he had billions of yuan on him, it wouldn't be of any use to them because they couldn't get it from him.
According to them, this was practically a curse. In fact, they knew very well what kind of person Yaqing was. If her parents openly opposed it, Yaqing would never be able to be with Sun Qiang openly. So, even before the couple held their ceremony, there might already be a crack in the family. These people's thoughts were truly terrifying. If Liu Ning hadn't thought of this, it would have been difficult for him to break free from this situation.
Seeing this family, Liu Ning was truly furious. He slammed his hand on the table and was about to stand up. "Think about the things you've done in the past," he thought, "you can only say you've been utterly wicked. If you can treat your own family like this, imagine what you'll do in public." But as soon as Liu Ning stood up, his mother told him to sit down. This made Liu Ning feel very uncomfortable, but in front of so many people, he couldn't argue with his mother, so he could only silently sit down to the side.
The mother was actually trying to save face for Liu Ning, since they were elders. If Liu Ning really started arguing in such a setting, it wouldn't be good for his future reputation. Besides, if this family decided not to come, people outside would gossip, since Cousin Yaqing was a divorcee.
If no one from the family comes to offer their blessings, what will the people around them think? Sun Qiang might mind this in the future. So, unless absolutely necessary, this occasion absolutely cannot be allowed to fall apart. If it does, it will not only leave a psychological scar on the newlyweds, but also tarnish Liu Ning's reputation. The mother's considerations are quite comprehensive.
"Look at you, so tactless! How can you say that? How can we not bless our own daughter? Even if things don't go our way, our daughter should still get married. We'll help her out if needed in the future. What you just said—what do you mean by 'we won't bless her'? How is that possible? Your aunt just doesn't know how to talk. Let me say something. Don't be impatient. We're all family. Can't we discuss these things? They're just small matters..."
Seeing that the situation had become tense, the uncle immediately stepped in to play the other side. These two must have planned it at home, one playing the bad cop and the other the good cop, just to get the money. That would achieve their goal. Other things were not considered. If it were anyone else, they would be willing to pay. In their eyes, there was only money. If the other party didn't have money, they wouldn't even sit here. They only thought about how much they could get. As for Cousin Yaqing's happiness, these two didn't even consider it.
"Actually, we are quite open-minded parents, and I have a good reputation in our area. Young man, don't be afraid. We don't need too much money. We're practically on our deathbeds; what use would we have for so much money? We're basically just planning to live a comfortable life, and you understand that very well. As for this matter, we will definitely handle it well. We'll keep the money for you if you encounter any difficulties in the future. Besides, they just introduced you as a War General-level expert, so I don't think 20 million is too much for us..."
When he finished speaking, everyone around gasped. Although they were eating at two separate tables, they were still shocked when they heard their uncle say 20 million. For them, 20 million was not a small amount.
That would require following Liu Ning and fighting in the wild. If he hadn't met Liu Ning, how long would it take a soldier apprentice to earn 20 million? It would probably take hundreds of months. After all, a soldier apprentice's salary is fixed, and without someone to guide them, they can't go hunting in the wild. They would only bring back a little over 1 million after a trip. But it's completely different from what Liu Ning is doing. So the amount of money that my uncle asked for is definitely too much. For an ordinary family, it's an astronomical figure.
Liu Ning sneered from the side. He hadn't expected his uncle to change anything. When his uncle was about to speak up, Liu Ning knew what he wanted to do, but he hadn't expected the amount to be so high. Wanting 20 million right off the bat? He himself ran a general store, and his monthly profit was only a little over 10,000 yuan. Now he wanted 20 million yuan of monthly profit. His mouth was really too big. If Sun Qiang wasn't a warrior-level expert, who else do you think would pay you that much money?
"You really have no fear of your tongue getting twisted by the wind. You dare to say anything. If I'm not mistaken, when my cousin married his wife, your whole family schemed and plotted, and in the end, you only gave tens of thousands of yuan. Now that it's your daughter's turn to get married, and it's the second time, you want 20 million yuan all at once. I really don't know how you calculated it. If everyone in the world calculated it the way you do, then no one could afford this money. At least, that's how it is for the vast majority of people."
What Liu Ning said was true. When her cousin got married, her uncle's family tried their best to scheme and even asked many people to mediate the matter. In the end, the matter did not have a good outcome, so it was talked about as a joke by the people around them. They never expected that when it came to your daughter, she would ask for 20 million yuan.
Sun Qiang wanted to say something, but Liu Ning glared at him and stopped him. For Sun Qiang, 20 million was not a large sum; he could easily come up with it at any time. But that wasn't the point. Actually, this was just his uncle testing him. His uncle had his own understanding of society and knew what a War General-level expert was. For a War General-level expert, 100 million was also easy to come up with. The reason they didn't ask for that much was to see Sun Qiang's attitude. If Sun Qiang offered money willingly, then their good days would begin again. If Sun Qiang wasn't so proactive, even if he had billions of yuan on him, it wouldn't be of any use to them because they couldn't get it from him.
