Task NO.1 How to Pursue Miss CEO novel Chapter 862

Chapter 862 An Amazing Hookup

Oliver munched on the snack his wife had prepared while speaking in a muffled voice. “We struck gold this time!” he mumbled. Greta sent her husband a side-eye upon hearing his words. “Did you say that we’ve struck gold? We haven’t struck anything—the clan leader might even drop by later and strike us on our heads instead.”

Greta settled in her seat and began to work on patching up one of their clothes as she continued speaking. “Mayaboy is such a useless girl. When did she hook up with that man from town? What an embarrassment! She’s all grown up now; how could she still give us so much trouble?”

“She made a great choice! An amazing choice!” Oliver mumbled as he continued to stuff himself with food. “What did you say? Did you say that her hookup was a good choice?” Greta asked.

“Yeah.” It had only been minutes, but Oliver had already devoured two huge slices of bread. “That townsman is actually interested in Mayaboy, and he’s offering me 200,000 to get everything settled for them!”

“What?!” Greta couldn’t believe her ears then. “Are you sure you heard him correctly? Isn’t that guy bored of Mayaboy by now? Our daughter might be pretty, but I’m sure a man from town must have seen prettier women than her. Why would he pay so much just to get married to our daughter?” Greta asked.

“Exactly! That’s why I said that we struck gold this time! I’ll discuss this matter with the clan leader. Mayaboy has been working at their house for the past few years, so they can’t expect us to repay them the total sum of the bride price they paid, right? In total, I believe we can get them to spare us this amount,” Oliver said as he put his fingers up to show his wife a number.

Greta didn’t seem to care about the money then. “What is this man from town planning to do with our daughter? I heard that there are people around here who specialize in selling organs. Could he…”

“Why do you care about that? Don’t you want to buy your son a new house? Don’t you want to have grandchildren? Having grandchildren will cost us a great deal of money—children are expensive to own nowadays. We need the money for all sorts of things!” Oliver said.

Greta’s interest in the money seemed to grow after her husband brought up their son. “You’re right. We should consider buying a house for our son soon. With the way we’re living right now, we might not be able to buy a new house, not even in our next lifetime! Our son and daughter-in-law will never agree to have children if we don’t buy them a house,” she replied.
