Li Zijuan asked Su Jianguo:
"Jianguo, that rich friend you mentioned, did the dowry for his daughter come from the groom's gift, or did his family pay for it separately?"
Su Jianguo said with a little pride:
"Of course it's money paid separately by his family. He didn't keep any of the betrothal gift given by the man. He was not short of money and gave it all to his daughter. According to the amount of the betrothal gift given by the man, he added an extra dowry to his daughter. It's all To his daughter.”
Li Zijuan nodded, "Well, if the Ming family gives my family 3 million as a gift, where will your eldest brother and I find another 3 million for Zhiyi's dowry? As the second sister said, my family is extremely poor. Your eldest brother and I will do it There is no such thing as making a fortune based on the betrothal gifts from the in-laws.
He is so arrogant and just pretends to be so. Who makes him a cultural person?
If the second sister doesn't like it, just make up for it when she marries Yingxue. We promise not to talk too much. I kept my words, even if it was a small amount of gift, your eldest brother and I would not keep any of it and give it all to Zhiyi.
We really don’t have any money in our hands, and your eldest brother and I don’t have any fat on our faces. No matter how swollen our faces are after being beaten, we can’t be fat, so we won’t. "
Everyone was silent, not knowing what to say.
Xu Cheng and Li Zijuan looked at each other in tacit understanding.
In fact, they have another level of concern, that is Xu Zhian.
Xu Zhian is now 22 years old. In a few years, he will be at the age to consider getting married. At that time, their status will be that the man pays the bride price.
Now, if his family takes advantage of the Ming family's wealth and asks for a gift of several million from Xu Zhiyi, and when it comes time to ask for a wife for his son, they will have to ask for Xu Zhiyi's gift. What will his family give to the woman?
Even if the woman asked for one-tenth of Xu Zhiyi's bride price, it would be enough for his family.
It's better to keep a thin line in your life to survive in the future, but it's better not to dig a hole for yourself.
Everyone was silent for a while. Li Zijuan looked at Xu Yan and suddenly smiled, "Second sister, your brother is not afraid of me. He is a cultured person. He will listen to and judge everyone's words. As long as you are sensible and reasonable, , he also listens to your words. It’s a pity..."
Li Zijuan's words are all here, and the meaning behind the words is beyond words.
Xu Yan looked defeated.
Xu Ying and Xu Hong looked at each other, glanced at Xu Yan, and tried their best not to raise the corners of their mouths.
Xu Wei hesitated for a while and muttered: "Brother, why don't you discuss this matter with our parents?"
"No! You are marrying my daughter, your sister-in-law and I can make the decision."
Xu Cheng made up his mind and said no more.
He sent them back without giving them a chance to speak again.
After going downstairs, Xu Yan kept cursing with a straight face:
"I was born poor. No one in the family, big or small, is worthy of recognition. If you ask me, that girl Zhiyi is not worthy of marrying into the Ming family. A girl who can enter the Ming family should be like my Yingxue." , highly educated, knowledgeable, and smart, I really don’t know why Mingrui likes that girl Zhiyi.”
Xu Hong snorted through her nose, glanced at her disdainfully, and said in a strange tone:
"What the second sister said is really funny. It's only natural that good things like relationships should happen to your family. It doesn't deserve to happen to other sisters. Since you have such a big face, if you have the ability, your family Yingxue will find someone richer than the Ming family in the future. Your husband’s family, we really admire you.”
Xu Ying added fuel to the fire, "Third sister is right. Second sister, you have to work harder to find a son-in-law who is better than Octavia in Acropolis. I'm afraid there is no hope. You have to let Yingxue look for him in Hangzhou early." She is so strong, don’t lose to Zhiyi.”
"You guys! Humph."
Xu Yan glared at them and walked away.
Su Jianguo and Xu Wei were walking at the front, not caring about the bickering between women.
Xu Wei frowned and asked Su Jianguo:
"Second brother-in-law, what do you think we should do? We originally planned it well, but the eldest brother and sister-in-law don't open their mouths now. Now we..."
Su Jianguo clicked his tongue and shook his head helplessly.
After sending these people away, Xu Cheng and the other three discussed it again and still insisted on their opinions.
The funeral home does not have a holiday during the National Day. Xu Zhian has been working overtime and can only take shifts to rest.
In order to attend Xu Zhiyi's engagement ceremony, he has been changing shifts with his colleagues these days.
Last night, he worked a long night shift and then another early morning shift. He didn't get off work until noon. He took a half-day break in the afternoon. At 8 p.m., he had to work a small night shift. He will work another day tomorrow, and then he can have five consecutive days off. .
It is only because of youth that one can bear it.
Xu Zhiyi and he hadn't seen each other for a month. They had been waiting for him to come back and they had lunch together.
The two siblings were eating and chatting, and they were enjoying their conversation when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
The force of the knocking seemed to break the door.
The two stopped eating and watched Li Zijuan open the door.
"Dad, Mom, why are you here?"
Li Zijuan's surprised voice came.
The two siblings had serious expressions on their faces and immediately put down their bowls and chopsticks. Xu Zhian stood up and walked towards the door. Xu Zhiyi quickly walked into the bedroom to call Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng went to Lao Wu's house.
On the day of the engagement, in addition to Su Jianguo, someone else needed to make arrangements, Xu Cheng asked Lao Wu, and the two were discussing the matter.
At this point, Xu Zhiyi's grandparents came.
When they come, they are bound to be up to no good. They will either bully Li Zijuan or scold the siblings. Xu Cheng must be brought back as soon as possible.
The only one who can cure this old couple is Xu Cheng.
Li Zijuan's mother-in-law, Zhang Aihua, had just walked in. Before her husband Xu Zhaocai came in, she shouted at Li Zijuan:
"This is my son's house, why can't we come?"
Li Zijuan didn't respond to her, and gave Xu Zhian a wink. When Xu Zhaocai came in, she quickly closed the door.
The loud noise made people upstairs and downstairs laugh.
Xu Zhian understood and immediately supported and hugged Zhang Aihua to the sofa in the living room. With a playful smile, he pressed Xu Zhaocai next to her, "Grandpa, grandma, if you have anything to say, sit down and talk. Sit down and talk. The sofa is soft."
When Xu Zhaocai saw Xu Zhian, his expression softened, "My eldest grandson is still sensible. Xiao An, where is your sister? Grandpa and grandma didn't know how to come out to greet her when they came. She's just like your mother, she doesn't understand any rules."
Xu Zhian's face instantly tensed.
At this time, Xu Zhiyi came out of the bedroom and called "Grandpa, Grandma" without enthusiasm.
The old couple's nostrils were pointed upward, and her nose was not a nose, and her eyes were not eyes.
Li Zijuan motioned to the siblings to go eat first, and she sat on the single sofa to accompany the old couple.
"Dad, Mom, Cheng is out. Zhiyi just called her dad. He will be back soon. You guys sit down and wait."
Zhang Aihua said nothing and pointed at her to accuse her:
"If I didn't look for him, I would look for you, my good daughter-in-law. It was you who persuaded my son not to ask for a bride price from my grandson-in-law's family. You are a woman who doesn't make money. What are you messing around with? What are you messing around with?
I really have long hair but short knowledge, why don’t I take this opportunity to get more betrothal gifts and fill the poverty hole of our Xu family? ! What are you doing here?
With such a large betrothal gift to be obtained, doesn’t your son’s future wedding room also include the betrothal gift?
There is so much extra money left for Xiaowei’s son. Doesn’t he also have a wedding room? With this money, do Xiaowei and his wife still need to follow his second brother-in-law and work in the sun and wind on the construction site?
Opening your mouth can make my old son and two grandsons live an easy life. Why don't you open your mouth?
Is your mouth made of gold or set with diamonds, so it is more expensive than other people's gold?
Selfish, so selfish!
I've said before that I shouldn't let the boss marry such an unruly woman as you! You are really not a good person. "
