Sudden 88K Hike in Betrothal Gift

Sudden 88K Hike in Betrothal Gift Plot:

Lin Xiaoman and Chen Mo have been in love for three years and finally agreed on a 100,000-yuan betrothal gift for their engagement. However, her mother suddenly demands an extra 88,000 yuan—just because her best friend’s daughter received a higher amount. Chen Mo’s parents, who run a vegetable stall, stayed up all night pooling money, with his father even suffering a hypertension attack from anxiety. Torn between family and love, Xiaoman secretly borrows money from her friend to cover the gap, only to find her mother’s bank card hidden in a drawer—turns out the 88,000 yuan is the dowry her mother saved for five years; she just wanted to test if Chen Mo would fight for Xiaoman. When Chen Mo rushes in with the money, her mother smiles and hands the card to Xiaoman: “This is my daughter’s confidence.”
