The eldest brother Su Zhiyuan asked: "Huo Zhongting, is this all for Qianqian?"
"Yes." Huo Zhongting said firmly.
Second brother Su Bixing asked: "Is the source legal?"
Huo Zhongting smiled: "Of course."
Su Qian explained to her second brother on behalf of Huo Zhongting: "Mr. Huo received his master's and doctorate degrees at Cambridge, so his ability is no problem."
After hearing Su Qian's words and knowing that Huo Zhongting's academic qualifications were astonishing, the whole family was relieved.
Su Tianru looked at the money in the room and said, "Let's deal with the cash first. It won't work if we just leave it like this."
Huo Zhongting nodded: "Let your parents handle it."
"Boss, second brother, you two go and deposit the money on Qianqian's card."
Huo Zhongting was surprised: "The gift is for you, so naturally it will be deposited on your card."
Although he didn't know much about these, he also learned about the situation on the Internet.
I know that the bride price is for the wife’s natal family.
Liang Qing shook his head and smiled: "That's not true. For us, the bride price is to bring our daughter back to the family as a start-up capital for the family."
"Yeah?"
"Yes. It stands to reason that no matter how much gift you give, we will also have to give you a dowry. But Zhong Ting, your gift is too much, and we can't give you so much dowry at the same time..."
Huo Zhongting hurriedly stopped him: "That's not necessary. I think the bride price should be used as start-up capital for the small family."
Liang Qing said: "Boss and Second Brother, go ahead."
Huo Zhongting said: "You don't have to put it on Qianqian's card, just put it on Mom's card. If you want to give the card to Qianqian, just give it to her when the time comes."
"Okay." The eldest brother and the second brother nodded at the same time.
Several people knew in their hearts that if Huo Zhongting asked the money to be deposited on Liang Qing's card, the money would not be counted as the joint property of their small family.
This means that Huo Zhongting is not guarding against Su Qian, nor is he guarding against their family.
This trust is more valuable than the 20 million Huo Zhongting spent.
…
Su Yujie and her eldest and second sisters returned to the villa.
Adoptive mother Wu Bihua asked: "How are you doing? What's going on?"
The eldest sister said: "Yujie's parents are really bad. They don't have any children, and they still want Yujie to take care of them in their old age."
Wu Bihua's heart skipped a beat, she couldn't let Su Yujie be filial to that couple.
"Did you take their dowry?" she asked immediately.
The second sister shook her head: "Their calculations are too good. They don't contribute money or efforts, and they also dream of having multiple daughters to provide for them in old age. How can such a good thing be possible?"
Su Yujie said softly: "Mom, I won't ask for their dowry. I will only be filial to you and dad in the future."
Wu Bihua breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'll stop walking around with them less."
The eldest sister said: "Move less and walk less, but that Su Qian is really annoying."
"What's wrong?"
"She, in order to pretend in front of us, asked her husband to send a lot of practice money as a gift. She also said there were 20 million there. It was so funny! In ten minutes, she took 20 million from the bank Come out, who will believe it?"
Wu Bihua shook her head and said, "They are too vain."
The second sister thought of something and said, "Speaking of which, the Su family has raised Su Qian for almost twenty years. Since they want to pretend to be so rich, I think you might as well go to them and ask for the alimony."
When Wu Bihua thought about it, this made sense.
…
Su Qian was helping her parents carry dishes and bowls when there was a noise outside the door.
It's the eldest brother and the second brother who are back.
The two told their parents: "It's all saved. It's all on mom's card. The card is here. This is the bank receipt."
Liang Qing took the order and stuffed the card into Su Qian's bag: "Put it away."
Su Qian didn't want it, but she couldn't refuse the family's wishes.
Su Tianru smiled and said, "It's time to eat. Let's all wash our hands and get ready to eat."
The family happily eats.
Liang Qing's cooking skills were so good that Su Qian ate two bowls of rice.
The eldest brother Su Zhiyuan brought a cup of tea to Huo Zhongting: "I can't drink these days due to work, so I will toast you with tea instead of wine."
When the meal was almost finished, there was a knock on the door.
Su Haoran ran to open the door quickly.
Opening the door, he saw the eldest and second sisters of the Cao family and Su Yujie, who had returned today, and Wu Bihua. He said, "We are having dinner. If you have something to do, just say it is okay and leave."
"Of course I came here if I had something to do." Wu Bihua said, stepping inside.
She originally didn't want to have any more contact with them.
But this family always pretended, and she wanted to see how long they could keep pretending.
It would be nice to get back the cost of raising Su Qian, but if not, we would have to see them suffer and regain some face.
They walked into the living room.
It happened that Huo Zhongting and others had finished eating and put down their chopsticks.
The living room is small, and with four more of them, it feels crowded even when standing.
Liang Qing was not polite and asked: "Do you have anything else?"
Wu Bihua glanced at their dilapidated house and said, "I heard that Su Qian received a lot of betrothal gifts, 20 million?"
The second brother Su Bixing said coldly: "What does it have to do with you?"
"I am Su Qian's adoptive mother. Can't you just ask me?"
"What did you say when Su Qian left? That she has nothing to do with you anymore." Su Bixing retorted, "You must have seen her rich now and wanted to share the gift, right?"
Of course Wu Bihua didn't believe that Huo Zhongting could really afford a gift of 20 million.
If this family really has so much money, why do they need to live in a place like this?
She smiled and said, "I'm not interested in the bride price. But since Su Qian is not short of money now, you should give it to me for the expenses I have spent raising her for nearly twenty years, right?"
Liang Qing said coldly: "When I went to pick up Qianqian, I asked you how much you needed to make up for your living expenses. I didn't want it at first, and now I want it specifically?"
"I didn't want you to be in trouble because I didn't want you to be able to give me the money. Now that you have money, you should naturally give me the money."
Wu Bihua said.
The eldest sister and the second sister also looked at them coldly. Just now they left in dejection, but now they were triumphantly watching the joke.
Liang Qing didn't want to owe them anything, so he said, "Okay, I'll provide you with as much as you want."
"It's not easy for me to raise Su Qian, so I'll give you one million," Wu Bihua said.
She patted the back of Su Yujie's hand and said, "I will give you a dowry when the time comes."
Su Yujie was filled with joy, it was better to be an adoptive mother, and she always thought of herself.
"One million is too much." Liang Qing said, "We are in your home, we are not valued, and we have not lived a good life. There is no way I can give you one million."
If Wu Bihua had asked for one million when he went to pick up Su Qian, Liang Qing would have given it without saying a word.
Later, when they learned that Su Qian was not favored by them, how could Liang Qing be so stupid as to satisfy them?
