Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 445

They asked Mu Zigu for a bride price of 5,000 yuan. They thought he would call off the proposal when he heard about the bride price. Unexpectedly, when he heard about the bride price, he agreed readily and said that this bride price was what his wife deserved.

Who doesn’t know that he only gets a salary of 50 yuan a month? Even if he was given a house in the military camp to live with his family and received some food and coupons every month, he would not be able to collect 5,000 yuan.

Worried that to get the money, he would have to borrow money from someone else. Just thinking about this debt, Mother Xiao can imagine what kind of future her daughter will face. As a mother, how could she stand by and watch her daughter jump into this pit of fire?

But no matter how worried she was, her daughter insisted on marrying Mu Zigu, so she had no choice but to secretly give her some money.

While everyone was deep in thought, a servant came over and said, "Master, the second lieutenant is here."

Hearing the servant’s words, Grandpa Xiao raised his head and looked at his granddaughter, "Yiqing, it’s not too late to change your mind. As long as you agree to marry the general’s son, Grandpa will forgive you and prepare a dowry for you."

Xiao Yiqing looked directly into Grandpa Xiao’s eyes and smiled, "Grandpa, I have decided. I want to marry Brother Zigu."

Grandpa Xiao narrowed his eyes and asked coldly, "Even if it costs you being kicked out of the Xiao family, do you still want to marry him?"

Xiao Yiqing nodded and said decisively, "Yes."

Grandpa Xiao was angered by her words and slammed his walking cane on the ground and said, "You unfilial child!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged woman said disdainfully, "Even if you want to marry him, we have to see if the man you choose can afford the bride price."

Hearing her words, Xiao Yiqing looked at her and said with a smile," Third Aunt, since Brother Zigu agreed to the Xiao family’s request, I believe he is able to pay the bride price."

A young woman chuckled and said, "Who doesn’t know his family background as a farmer’s son? I think being a second lieutenant is his limit. Cousin, I suggest you prepare yourself for your bleak future. You have such a big debt, let me see how you live your life!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a series of footsteps, followed by Mu Zigu’s voice, "So, this is how the Xiao family treats my wife."

Hearing his voice, Xiao Yiqing turned to him and smiled, "Brother Zigu, you are finally here."

He walked up to her, held her hands, and said, "Qingqing, I’m sorry to keep you waiting."
