Chu Dashan walked out of the courtyard calmly, "Everyone, be quiet for a moment! Let me see how many people are here."
People from other villages didn't listen at first and started shouting.
"We're coming to settle the score with you!"
"You want compensation!"
"I'll beat you like a turtle bastard..."
Chu Dashan took out a thick stack of money from his pocket and waved it, "A representative from each family will come and yell, the compensation will be halved!"
Of the women he had an affair with, their parents' families basically all loved money, except of course Liu Dafang.
Liu Dafang broke off the relationship with him in time, but today the Liu family did not come to the door.
Widow Qiu is waiting for him to marry, so her mother's family will naturally not make trouble with this group of people.
A total of three families came over.
He planned to pay each family 300 yuan in compensation.
These three families came here after hearing that Chu Dashan was going to marry Widow Qiu.
I also heard that Chu Dashan had money and owned several yards.
They had discussed it before coming and took advantage of this time to ask for more compensation.
Everyone fell silent and each family sent a representative into the room.
Chu Dashan was willing to give, and they were willing to take it, and they hit it off immediately.
In the end, the fuss stopped and Chu Dashan compensated each family 300 yuan.
Chu Xuan was a little disappointed, but this incident made both her and Mu Chenze realize that Chu Dashan was not a simple person.
Feng Shuai, who was watching the excitement in the crowd, also realized this.
Usually Chu Dashan seems to be afraid of Feng Chunhua, but now it seems that he is just pretending...
Half an hour later, Chu Xuan finished lunch at Mu Chenze's house and discussed softly, "Ze, I'm going to catch the sea tomorrow, do you want to go?"
Mu Chenze liked this nickname very much, it was like a spring breeze. "I have to go! I won't go to the city to sell seafood during this period. I have plenty of time to accompany you to the sea."
I plan to wait until I get engaged and then go to the market to sell seafood. I will buy some rare items and sell them back to the county and town.
These days, he did not go out to earn money on the pretext of recuperating from his injuries. His family did not rush him, nor did they show shame. Instead, they cared for him.
He was quite touched by this.
After sending Chu Xuan home, he didn't stop at her place. Instead, he went to the village office to make a call.
I confirmed on the phone that the pre-ordered silk long-sleeved cheongsam has been made and can be picked up at any time or delivered to your door, but you need to add 10 yuan for travel expenses.
Mu Chenze asked for door-to-door delivery on the spot.
After about ten minutes, I returned home.
Qin Mahua was looking at the new set of clothes he brought back.
"Xiao Xuan bought this for you?"
Mu Chenze looked proud, "That's right. Your daughter-in-law-to-be loves me very much."
"I love you enough. I can't buy this set of clothes and shoes for 500 yuan, right? I only give you 500 yuan to buy clothes for Xiaoxuan. After all, Xiaoxuan still loses money! I will give you another 500 yuan." You think about buying a piece of gold jewelry for Xiaoxuan, but you have to keep it a secret, just say that you bought it with the New Year's money you saved, so as not to make your elder brother and sister-in-law feel uncomfortable after knowing about it."
Every New Year, Qin Mahua gives New Year's money to her two sons and her eldest daughter-in-law. This reason is completely valid.
While talking, Qin Mahua took out five hundred yuan and stuffed it into Mu Chenze's hand.
Mu Chenze happily put the money into his pocket, and diligently rubbed Qin Mahua's back and shoulders, "Mom, you are so kind to me! When I make more money, I will also buy you some gold jewelry."
"Okay! I'll wait. You haven't told me yet how much your clothes and shoes cost!"
"It cost more than 800 yuan in total..."
Qin Mahua took a breath of air, "Xiaoxuan is really willing to give up on you. You said you are too, don't you know how to stop me?"
"I stopped her! If I hadn't stopped her, she would have bought one for each of you and dad."
"Your father and I have a lot of new clothes, we don't need to buy them. You are right to stop us! Xiaoxuan has been very considerate to our family, and our family must treat her well. Xiaoxuan's dowry is a power fishing boat, which costs tens of thousands of dollars. ! The betrothal gift given to her cannot be the same as that of your sister-in-law."
"On the surface, we should still be the same as my sister-in-law back then! In private, you can subsidize us!"
"You're right. I'll give her five thousand dollars in private."
Qin Mahua spoke calmly, and Mu Chenze's eyes widened.
"Mom, do you really want to give me five thousand yuan? Is it too much?"
Qin Mahua smiled and waved her hands, "Not much. If Xiaoxuan doesn't marry the fishing boat and the family is separated in the future, your father and I will buy a boat for you and Xiaoxuan. Now we only give Xiaoxuan five thousand yuan, and your father and I will Save a lot!”
Mu Chenze patted Qin Mahua's back even more diligently, "Mom, you are truly the best mother and mother-in-law in the world. So, should you give the five thousand yuan directly to Xiaoxuan or should I hand it over to you? When do you plan to give it to me?"
"Tomorrow I will go to the county seat to get the money and send it to Xiaoxuan quietly."
"Mom, don't be in a hurry to withdraw the money. I suggest you give it to me when we separate. At that time, you can make it clear to your eldest brother and sister-in-law directly that the family boat will be given to them. You will not buy another boat for Xiaoxuan and me. We will be given a five-year subsidy. A thousand dollars.”
Mu Chenze felt that he would give Xiaoxuan 5,000 yuan, and Xiaoxuan would never want it.
When the family is separated, it is easier to accept it if the family boat is given to the eldest brother and the money is given to him and Xiaoxuan.
The family's boat originally cost more than 10,000 yuan. My eldest brother and sister-in-law would definitely be happy to have the boat.
Qin Mahua said with a kind face, "Xiaoze, what you said makes sense, but I have my own considerations. These five thousand yuan must be given before the engagement. You must listen to me on this matter. As long as Xiaoxuan accepts it, how can you spread the news outside? I pretended not to hear even though I was eating soft food."
"It's just a rumor in the village that I'm a freebie. Xiaoxuan said that she is willing to spend money for our family and marry a fishing boat. No one else can care about it! If you give it tomorrow, Xiaoxuan will definitely not take it."
"You don't need to worry about this. Your sister-in-law asked you to take time to go to her house to help with the wiring. I think you will be free right now, so go quickly!"
"All right."
Mu Chenze went out on a bicycle.
After turning a corner, he went to Chu Xuan's house for a chat.
"Xiao Xuan, my mother may come to give you money tomorrow, saying it's an invisible gift that won't be told to anyone."
Chu Xuan remembered that there were no hidden betrothal gifts in her previous life, "Is it because I married a fishing boat?"
"That's right. Five thousand dollars."
"You have already paid six thousand yuan, I can't ask for Aunt Qin's money anymore."
"Xiaoxuan, don't let it slip tomorrow. Even if you die, you can't mention the six thousand yuan. If you don't want my mother's five thousand yuan, you can tell her that you can give it to her after marriage. In fact, I really hope you accept it. of."
"How dare I ask for it? By the way, how much is the nominal gift?"
"One thousand yuan. It's the same as my sister-in-law's gift. Compared with your dowry boat, it's really too little. Otherwise, my mother wouldn't be so anxious to give you an invisible gift of five thousand yuan. My mother said that as long as you accept it, the villagers will She pretended not to hear even if she told me that I was eating soft food."
Chu Xuan was surprised and widened his eyes, "I haven't mentioned the dowry boat to a few people, how could anyone spread such rumors?"
"My family members should have told me about the boat. They wanted to praise you, but they didn't expect it to spread like this among the villagers."
"Do you mind if people say you're a softie?"
"Of course I don't mind. Because I just want to eat soft rice! Others can't eat it even if they want to."
Mu Chenze's hearty laughter rang out.
Chu Xuan didn't mind, and said boldly, "No problem! After we get married, I will support you! I will have no problem raising you for the rest of my life!"
Mu Chenze said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Then can I still have the final say and be the boss from now on?"
