Chapter 1358
Jessica was not able to complete the task given to her by the unknown woman. She was worried that the other party would act on her family again, so she wanted Hank to send her home.
Her family was also in the countryside.
Hank was not too fond of visiting his mother–in–law. Every time he went, his mother-in-law would say that she was feeling unwell and that she lacked some things at home. Whenever he heard her, he would give her some money as he felt sorry for her.
Although he did not give much, this happened every time he visited. He felt uncomfortable about it as if his mother–in–law was taking him as an ATM.
Luckily, Jessica truly liked Hank and wanted to spend her life with him. When his mother–in–law demanded a high amount for bride price, Jessica stood by his side and went ahead to get their marriage license behind her parents‘ backs. There was nothing his mother–in–law could do.
In the end, the bride price was reduced to tens of thousands of dollars.
Even so, it was still a high figure in Wiltspoon’s countryside. After all, they were ordinary and not. rich families, so they could not be compared to those wealthy people.
Nevertheless, after receiving the bride price, the Yateses explicitly said that the Browns would have to pay for the wedding reception, or they would not hold it at all. If that happened, the Yateses would bring a group of relatives to the city to have a wedding dinner at the Browns‘
residence instead.
Hank discussed it with his parents and agreed to the Yateses‘ request. On the day of the wedding, both families and their relatives would get together to celebrate.
The reception was set in a restaurant, but they did not dare choose a classy hotel as they could
not afford it.
The Yateses would not give Jessica dowry and would only give her a few bedding sets.
If she felt that her dowry was shabby, she could ask her husband to pay for her dowry, or she could pay for it out of her pocket.
Whether it was the Browns or the Yateses, they knew Jessica had some savings.
The Browns wanted her to pay for the renovation of their marital home, while the Yateses wanted her to help improve her family’s lives. Jessica’s mom even scolded her and said that she was raised for nothing. Her education was provided for, but she did not give back to her family with the money she had earned. Instead, she saved a lot of money for herself.
When Jessica worked, part of her monthly salary was for her family, and she saved the rest for herself.
No matter what her in–laws and family said about her, she did not touch her savings.
This was her bottom line after marriage.
She did not want to be like Liberty, who emptied her savings and had to ask for money from her
husband after marriage.
Jessica’s mom had always said that a son was not as good as pocket money, and a lady needed money to stand on her own.
If she expected Hank to support her, she would only follow in Liberty’s footsteps.

Finally we are here, thank you for progress in this story. Well done 👏 ✔ 👍 👌...
A big change is happening to the story now. 6 years had past. Looking forward on where this story revolves. Hoping the story will be as good as before. Now focusing on the younger brothers but hoping to include the older characters. Thanks writer and interpreter for maintaining and using the English names....
Thank you writer and interpreter for bringing back and writing in English names...
Stop deleting my comments...
I feel like I betrayed this site caus I had to go to novel drama to continue this novel... They have the real thing there from chapter 182...
I'm seeing Vivian, bill, Julie, maria... Who are these ?...
Need English names, makes the whole story hard to follow....
Please go back to english names. Its been too long that we are reading this novel commitedly. Its like a torture to your loyal readers who can not focus on the story after living with the characters for so long. Please change your interpreter....
Please, please go back to original characters and stop with the repetitive pages. Furthermore the missing chapters from 4389-4412 are still missing. This stopping and starting is getting old. You going to lose all your readers...
Can you hire back the original interpreter or the ones who knows the original name? I think the current interpreter does not want to exert effort on studying the previous names. Please satisfy your readers. We have read the story for a long time. We are patronizing you for this long....
