Chapter 39 The more dowry, the better
Peng Li happily made a video call to Zhou Cen to share the good news with him.
Peng Li looked pregnant, and the happiness on her face almost overflowed.
Xu Juan shrugged at Su Fang, and Su Fang also spread her hands.
Now they have one mind on their career and another on their studies, and they are completely unable to empathize with each other.
Thinking about Peng Li's boyfriend, Su Fang had previously suggested that Peng Li go for fortune telling, but Peng Li insisted that fortune telling was a lie and refused to do it no matter what, looking a little weird.
Besides, she was going to be angry. Everyone was about to graduate anyway, so Su Fang didn't say anything more. If you don't believe it, don't believe it.
Now that Peng Li is immersed in the joy of getting married, Su Fang won't say anything. Anyway, as long as Peng Li feels good about it, that's fine.
"Dowry? Of course my parents won't treat me badly. I'm their only daughter. My mother knows she can't give birth to you. They will have to rely on me in the future. They will definitely have a house and a car."
Peng Li listened to Zhou Cen asking about her dowry, and she immediately boasted about Haikou.
And she is right, her parents love her so much and they must not be willing to let her endure hardship.
Her parents would agree to a house with the same name as her and Zhou Cen. A car is a means of transportation and a necessity.
Listening to Peng Li's words, Zhou Cen became more gentle, calling her "darling". The two chatted for several hours, and hung up reluctantly until the phone ran out of battery and became hot.
Su Fang and Xu Juan were still awake. Seeing Peng Li hang up the phone, they both started to gossip.
Xu Juan asked first: "Lily, didn't you say before that your parents didn't agree with your relationship? Why do you agree now?"
Su Fang also asked: "Have your parents prepared a dowry for you so early? That's great, you are too happy."
Peng Li was an only child. She lived a very happy life and her living expenses were always very high. However, she still worked as a part-time worker for Zhou Cen and bought many expensive gifts for him.
Peng Li's adoptive parents have always disagreed with them being together. For this reason, Peng Li complained before, saying that her parents were snobbish. She also said that she would rather sever ties with her adoptive parents than separate from Zhou Cen. For a while, she even suspected Zhou Cen. Whether Cen really loved her, but she didn't know what happened later, she never doubted it again, but firmly believed that Zhou Cen loved her very much.
Now even her parents agree, which is incredible.
Peng Li showed a happy smile and said: "Maybe they have thought about it. They have always loved me, and it is normal to think about it. In the future, they will know that I was right to choose Zhou Cen."
"They used to worry that Zhou Cen and I wouldn't have a good life, but with their help, how could I not have a bad life."
Peng Li pouted, thinking that she had been complaining a bit in her heart over the past few years, so it would have been better if she had agreed earlier.
"Peng Li, when you have children in the future, will they have your last name?"
Xu Juan asked calmly.
Su Fang also looked at Peng Li.
Peng Li immediately said: "How is it possible? Of course Zhou Cen and I's child has the same surname as Zhou, and Zhou Cen is not my son-in-law."
Peng Li knew this clearly. Zhou Cen would not be a door-to-door son-in-law, so she couldn't even entertain the idea.
"Lily, how much dowry did Zhou Cen give you? You just said that your dowry is so large, so he must give you a dowry of 1.8 million yuan."
Su Fang did the math and said that the down payment for a house in this city would cost at least 500,000 yuan. Even a nice car would only cost 200,000 to 300,000 yuan. Peng Li's parents would have to help them in the future. , then Zhou Cen’s betrothal gift would not be too low.
Speaking of the betrothal gift, Peng Li paused for a moment, then smiled unnaturally and said: "Oh, I didn't ask his family for a betrothal gift. Zhou Cen and I are true love. It doesn't matter whether the betrothal gift or not is not important, as long as he is right to you." I’ll be fine as long as I’m fine, and besides, betrothal gifts are a bad habit, and people in our new era and new society shouldn’t ask for any betrothal gifts, especially high-priced betrothal gifts, which spoil the social atmosphere!”
Su Fang and Su Juan were silent for a while.
Xu Juan simply stopped interrupting.
Su Fang couldn't help but asked: "But Lily, your parents may give you a generous dowry, and their money doesn't come from the wind. This is so unfair. If betrothal gifts are a bad habit, then so is dowry. "
Peng Li immediately retorted: "How can you say that? The dowry is the confidence and blessing my parents gave me."
Su Fang had a complicated expression. Fortunately, the lights in the dormitory were turned off.
She simply stopped talking.
Peng Li curled her lips and murmured in a low voice: "Zhou Cen's family background is not very good. His parents worked hard all his life to send him to college. My parents are highly educated and well-paid. This dowry is not good for them. It’s nothing, and even if Zhou Cen’s family wants to give you a bride price, I won’t ask for it.”
Su Fang didn't want to talk. She felt that her thoughts and views were different and it would be in vain.
Not asking for it and not mentioning it are obviously two different things.
Xu Juan had already put on her headphones to isolate the sound and was ready to fall asleep.
Su Fang said in a low voice: "Okay, whatever you think is good, it's getting late, I'll go to bed first."
Peng Li was a little uninterested, but she felt there was no need to say more. Xu Juan was too focused on studying and not falling in love. Su Fang's first love was an online relationship and she fell out of love. Of course, they couldn't understand how she felt when she met true love.
Peng Li adjusted her mood and fell asleep.
Maybe she was thinking about it day by day and dreaming about it at night, and she had a beautiful dream.
Early the next morning, Peng Li went home.
She was very happy and even bought soy milk buns and fried dough sticks to make breakfast for her parents.
I sent a message to my mother on the way.
Opening the door, her parents were sitting in the living room. Peng Li smiled and walked over to put the breakfast down, and then said sweetly: "Mom and Dad, please eat your breakfast quickly. I just bought this, and it's a bit hot to the touch."
"Peng Li, thank you, but we have already eaten. If you haven't eaten yet, you can eat it yourself."
Liu Qing spoke calmly and even changed his title.
Peng Li didn't notice. She picked up the buns and ate them with a smile. While eating, she said, "Mom and Dad, Zhou Cen is really a very good person. He loves me very much. Really, I have already learned about this." It has been verified that our plan is to travel and get married after graduation. I want to go to the Maldives. This is my favorite place. Thank you to my parents for supporting me."
Peng Li discussed it with Zhou Cen yesterday.
"Oh, by the way, if mom and dad think we should have a wedding, then we can hold it after we come back from the Maldives. After all, you have given away so much money over the years and you have to get it back. Prepare it for me then. Furniture and stuff.”
Peng Li smiled and took a sip of soy milk.
Peng Bin and Liu Qing just looked at him indifferently. The couple didn't know how to describe their feelings. At this moment, they looked at Peng Li. They didn't have the love they had in the past, and they just felt that her greedy look was ugly.
