Chapter 978
“Weren’t you and Jack the reason Mom and Dad asked for a lot of money? Ask any family, and none of them will tell you that they expect that much for a wedding gift. What would you think if your children’s in–laws demand that much for a wedding too?
“That kind of money will be good for me to start a family with Hank. How can I possibly allow Hank to give it away? It’s only for formalities‘ sake, but what did you tell Mom and Dad? 777,777 dollars is lucky for you. All I get is seven thousand dollars in return, and nothing more.
“Mom and Dad will get a hundred thousand dollars while you and Jack get three hundred thousand each. Why? Why are they selling their daughter to give their sons everything? What about the daughter?”
Faced with her sister’s questioning, Oscar turned red in the face and lashed out,” You’re favoring outsiders instead of family. We’re your brothers. You should get more out of the Browns since they’re wealthy, but you can’t get anything now because you’re married.
“You went behind our backs and got married to Hank. Look, the 777,777–dollar gift is now seventy thousand. What’s wrong with helping me and Jack out when you’re getting a nice life in the city? It’s normal for siblings to help one another.”
“Just because I’m your sister doesn’t mean I owe you. Why should I give you all the help when life is not even good for me? Why should I give you everything to renovate your houses? What about me? I don’t even know if I have a bedroom, let alone a home, with Hank. Why should I suffer while you live the life?
“We’re all Mom and Dad’s children. Sure, I owe Mom and Dad my life, and I’m not saying I won’t help them out financially. You can give a little something to our parents too. Like you, I can contribute to their medical bills if they fall sick.
“I don’t owe you and Jack anything!”

The readers' comments on the novel: Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary)
Please use the English names as it is difficult to read and connect....
I am very greatful of your hard work in translating the novel in English, is there any chance you could use the character’s name in English please, it’s hard to follow the story with Chinese names. Thanks...
Please use correct names and watch the repeating of pages....
Thank you for the story, its going on well, however the changing of names somehow makes it difficult to follow. Even learning the new ones that you have tried to match, it is extremely difficult to follow and enjoy the drama while trying to go back to rechecking who we are talking about. The title is still Married at first sight (Serenity and Zachary) but they no longer exist in the whole picture. You created a dynamic community which I am sure everyone felt they lived and travelled with. We appreciate all the effort and your insight. I am very grateful for this novel is very captivating....
Please continue using Zachary,. Serenity,Duncan, Liberty etc . You jumped 30 updates and changed names where I'm unable to follow the story and losing interest. This is a great disservice to your loyal readers....
Changing names ruins the whole story. Whoever heard of such a thing....
Please use the old names, the new names are too confusing...
