Rebirth of a Village Girl novel Chapter 1037

Chapter 1037: 249: A saying comes true_2

Unique?

This statement really whetted everyone’s appetite.

Shangguan Xu looked at Shangguan Xi, "Could it be a pigeon’s egg? Bigger than the one Dad gave Mom?"

When Shangguan Dehui proposed to Ni Cuihua, he did buy a sizable diamond ring.

Shangguan Xi said speechlessly, "Brother, you’re so tacky!"

As she finished speaking, Shangguan Xi took out a ring woven from wild grass from her pocket, "This is the engagement ring Zuo Ling gave me."

Upon seeing this, Shangguan Xu almost spat out the soup he had just swallowed.

A ring made of grass!

No one expected Zuo Ling’s engagement ring to be a grass-woven ring.

Even Ni Yang was taken aback.

She had thought that Zuo Ling wasn’t someone to bluff his way through...

But it turned out he couldn’t escape his scoundrel nature.

Given Zuo Ling’s family background, even if he couldn’t afford a pigeon’s egg, he should have at least bought one made of gold.

After all, Zuo Ling was a minor official with a monthly salary of over a hundred yuan.

With the current cheap gold prices, two months’ salary was enough to buy a very respectable gold ring.

But Zuo Ling didn’t.

This showed that Zuo Ling didn’t take Shangguan Xi to heart at all. He was deceiving Shangguan Xi, perhaps he just wanted to trick her into his grasp.

"Such a trifle fooled you?" Shangguan Xu picked up the ring in Shangguan Xi’s hand, his face filled with incredulous laughter.

Shangguan Xi seriously said, "Perhaps in your eyes, this is just worthless wild grass, but to me, it represents Zuo Ling’s true heart! His sincerity is priceless!"

Zuo Ling’s sincerity couldn’t be measured with money.

Ni Yang nodded slightly, "Yeah, true love is priceless, I agree with Sister Xiaoxi."

"Yangyang?" Ni Cuihua looked at Ni Yang in surprise.

Shangguan Xi smiled and said, "Yangyang, you understand me!"

Ni Yang held a high status in the family, and with her approval, Shangguan Xi felt much more confident.

"But Sister Xiaoxi, the phrase ’true love is priceless’ also depends on the situation," Ni Yang continued. "For instance, if someone comes from a poor background and has only one yuan but gives it all to you, and would do anything for you, that is true love. But if someone obviously has a hundred yuan and isn’t even willing to give you one, that’s not true love; that’s just taking advantage of you."

In Ni Yang’s eyes, family background wasn’t the issue.

What mattered was character.

As long as the Zuo Family had good character and Zuo Ling was truly sincere towards Shangguan Xi, everything else wasn’t a problem.

But now, Zuo Ling was merely putting on an act for Shangguan Xi.

Hearing this, Shangguan Xi was stunned.

She had been immersed in love and had never considered this issue.

Could it be that Zuo Ling was really just acting?

It... It surely wasn’t?

Shangguan Dehui nodded, "I think Yangyang is right! Xiaoxi, it’s clear from this proposal issue that Zuo Ling is not sincere towards you!"

Old Lady Shangguan also nodded in agreement, "I also think Yangyang is right. Zuo Ling is just trying to take advantage of you, who uses a grass-woven ring for a proposal? You guys aren’t playing house as kids!"

What era is this to use a blade of grass to take a wife?

Even decades ago, this wasn’t done!

Old Lady Zheng added, "Xiaoxi, you’re not married yet and Zuo Ling is already daring to deceive you like this. What will happen after marriage? Will he still regard you as a person?"

Shangguan Xi fell silent, not saying a word.
