Love and Money Are Difficult to Balance

Seven months into my pregnancy, my boyfriend finally said that he had saved up enough money for the betrothal gift, and we could get engaged.

At the engagement party, my boyfriend said that he had lent all that money to his younger brother to buy an apartment the day before, but I didn't even complain.

But after seeing my dowry, he beat me.

A single hard slap of his in my face made me sober up. You money-grubbing, miserly man, go to the hell!
