Chapter 690: Discussing the Marriage (7)

Xia Nuannuan had a fright when she heard what her father said. “Dad, our family doesn’t have that kind of money.”

She knew very well how much money the family had.

They had spent most of their savings when her father had fallen ill the year before.

That was why she had desperately worked to make money and had ended up working in Glitter as a waitress.

Even if they sold their family home, they would not be able to gather 1.11 million.

She didn’t want her parents to lead a poverty-stricken life just so that she didn’t look bad. If that were the case, then what was the use of having a daughter?

But the moment she said that, Dad Xia frowned and said, “Why are you interrupting when we adults are talking? Your Mom and I know how to deal with our family’s money! Although we’re poor, we have our pride. Let me tell you, you won’t stop working after you get married. Our daughter is not the sort of wife who only knows how to stay at home and be a parasite! You’re to work and have your own income. Do you hear that?”

This was really meant for Shen Xiu to hear.

Dad Xia felt that if his daughter were to stay home, she would not be able to secure her own standing.

A woman would only be mentally independent if she could be financially independent.

Shen Xiu’s expression turned gloomy. “This—”

Dad Xia looked at Shen Xiu and continued, “I know, marrying into your family, she doesn’t have to work to put food on the table. But a person’s got to have ambition and ideals, don’t you think so?”

Shen Xiu: …

Dad Xia stood up and said, “It’s dark and we shouldn’t keep you up too long. When there’s a chance, come over to our place. We’ll host a dinner for you.”

Then he turned to Mom Xia and said, “Let’s go.”

Following this, he led Mom Xia and Xia Nuannuan towards the door.

Shen Xiu did not try to make them stay either.
