"What kind of karma did Wu Meiling accrue in her past life to end up with such beastly parents?"
"Calling them beasts is frankly too kind for them. I'd say they're worse than animals. I've lived my whole life and never seen such shameless parents."
"Alas, Wu Meiling's fate is bitter."
Chen Dong, hearing the villagers' noisy discussion, guessed that Wu Meiling's parents must have arrived and asked the villagers who had just spoken, "What happened?"
The villagers, all talking at once, related the events: "Wu Meiling has a younger brother named Wu Xiaoqiang, who recently got a girlfriend named Ma Shanshan, who works in the county."
"After Wu Xiaoqiang and Ma Shanshan dated for a while, when it came time to talk about marriage, Ma Shanshan said she'd marry him, but Wu Xiaoqiang must have a car worth more than two hundred thousand and a house in the county no less than one million, plus a dowry of six hundred thousand."
