"Mom, that’s right. This is the betrothal gift money. My mother gave it to me herself."
Qin Wenhao turned to look at Fu Mingxue. "The password is six zeroes. You should memorize it. You can spend this money however you like; don’t worry about it too much. Also, the next time I come, I’ll let you manage my stipend. I’ll just keep a little for daily expenses."
Fu Mingxue, who was still dazed, snapped back to her senses when she heard this.
She immediately shook her head quickly. "No, don’t. I’ll be going to school, so I won’t be able to take care of— the household. And aren’t there two children at home? You can’t skimp on them. You need to make sure they eat well. You should keep your stipend."
"I—"
Fu Mingxue thought of something and raised the bankbook in her hand, which felt like it was burning a hole in her palm.
"—I have this money. It’s so much, I can’t possibly spend it all..."
’Heavens, this really is too hot to handle!’
’After all, she was the one who forced this marriage.’
’And it was only temporary.’
’How could she take so much betrothal money from him?’
’Her conscience would kill her!’
’She had to find a chance to return this betrothal money to him.’
’Besides, she still had the eight hundred yuan that Bai Siqi and Song Yan paid her in compensation!’
’That was more than enough for her.’
’Even if it wasn’t enough, she couldn’t possibly touch this money—’
’How awful would that be? Forcing him into a—marriage, and then spending his money? That was just unacceptable.’
Mrs. Fu also chimed in quickly, "That’s right. Use your stipend to raise the children. Mingxue has her own money. And if that’s not enough, she has me! I’ll pay for all her university expenses for the next few years. She’s my only daughter; all my money is for her—"
"That won’t do—" Qin Wenhao naturally disagreed with the idea of his wife spending her own family’s money.
It wasn’t that he was being a male chauvinist.
He just couldn’t let his mother-in-law support his wife for him.
