Before the New Year holiday, Su Tiantian was tricked into returning home by a 200,000 yuan promise. The village distributing land money was real, but the desire to trick her into coming home early ...
Liu Liangjie looked at his watch and said, "Jingze has to accompany my mother to the hospital in the city for a follow-up visit early tomorrow morning. Let's go back early."
Liu Jingze pulled out a red ring box from his suit pocket and opened it. "Tiantian, here's the proposal ring. We were a bit pressed for time so we didn't get it custom-made. You can wear this one first. If you don't like it, we can buy a style you like when we buy the hardware, okay?"
The ring box contained a pair of gold rings, patterned with baby's breath, which looked exquisite and elegant. Liu Jingze took out the smaller one and said, "Tiantian, this is an open ring with an adjustable band. Let me put it on you." Su Tiantian held out her right hand, and Liu Jingze carefully placed the ring on her middle finger. Su Tiantian took the larger one and placed it on Liu Jingze's middle finger. The two hands, wearing gold rings, clasped together looked beautiful. Su Zhihao quickly took a few photos of them. This future brother-in-law is really smart, Liu Jingze thought.
Sang Yimei handed Su Tiantian's birth date to Grandma Lu. The Su family escorted the Liu family to the door. The driver was already waiting in the car, so there was no need to worry if they had been drinking. Back in the living room, Sang Yimei said, "Looks like we need to put away those dishes first. We'll see when the farm staff come to pick them up." Li Yunling hurriedly wanted to help, but Su Jinyuan said, "Don't do that yet. Let's talk over there first."
Sang Yimei said, "Let me see what gifts they've brought." After a while, Sang Yimei also came to the living room. After the five of them sat down, Su Jinyuan said, "Zhihao, why did you just say that we wanted a dowry of 500,000 yuan in cash? We didn't originally plan to give that much."
Su Zhihao said, "They gave half of a multi-million dollar house in Kuozhou to my sister, added her name to it, and told her she didn't need to buy a car and could use his. If I don't give her a little more dowry, what will happen if they look down on her in the future?"
Su Tiantian stroked the ring and said, "I have 500,000 yuan. I will give it as a dowry when the time comes."
Sang Yimei said, "How can we take your money? You should use your own money. We originally planned to give you a dowry of 300,000 yuan, which is quite a lot in this place."
Su Zhihao said, "Since you plan to give a dowry of 300,000 yuan, then my share of the land sale money is 200,000 yuan. You said you would give it to me. If you add my 200,000 yuan to the dowry, it will be 500,000 yuan. 500,000 yuan is still not enough for the Liu family."
Su Jinyuan said, "The money from the land sale will be divided into four parts, totaling 800,000 yuan. 200,000 yuan will go to Tiantian, 200,000 yuan will go to you, and we will have 400,000 yuan left. The dowry will be 300,000 yuan, and there will be 100,000 yuan for the wedding banquet. It's not that we don't have savings at home, but that's for you and Aling's wedding, and some is left for business turnover."
Sang Yimei said, "You didn't even ask A Ling, and you gave her your 200,000 yuan as a dowry. Aren't you afraid that A Ling will be angry?"
Li Yunling quickly said, "I'm not angry. Just give Sister Tiantian as much as you want. Anyway, you will definitely give Zhihao more than you gave Sister Tiantian."
Sang Yimei said, "A Ling, we treat you as one of our own and will not hide anything from you. When you marry Zhihao, the gifts and house you get will not be comparable to Tiantian's. My family will definitely buy you hardware."
Li Yunling said, "I know. I won't compare myself with Sister Tiantian. You all know my family's financial situation. Although we have a shop, a rental house, and two houses, they are all given to my brother. My mother also said that the betrothal gift is only a few thousand yuan, but I can't have as much dowry as Sister Tiantian."
Su Zhihao quickly said, "It doesn't matter whether there is a dowry or not, it's all yours anyway."
Su Tiantian said: "I have the money for the dowry and the wedding banquet, so you don't have to worry."
Su Jinyuan said seriously, "I told you not to use your money. Keep your own money safe. There's still money at home. I'll transfer your 200,000 to you in two days."
Su Zhihao said, "Sister, Uncle Liu said he would voluntarily give you 300,000 yuan. Please accept it. You don't need to renovate the house in Kuozhou City. Having money in hand is better than anything else. Brother Jing also said he would transfer the ownership of the apartment to you. Please accept it as well. This is your guarantee."
Sang Yimei said, "Then accept it. The Liu family is rich, and this amount of money is nothing to them. If they need money in the future, you can give it to them. I just took a look. Guess what gift they sent?"
Su Jinyuan said without much interest: "It's usually cigarettes, alcohol and tea. Brother Liang is willing to spend money on these things, so it won't be rude."
Sang Yimei said, "There are six gifts in total: liquor, cigarettes, tea, snacks, cherries, and apples. It's quite elaborate. Ah Ling, bring back a box of cherries later."
Li Yunling said, "That's for Sister Tiantian. How could I take it? Congratulations, Sister Tiantian, you'll be a homeowner from now on. Brother Jing treats you very well."
Su Tiantian said, "Even I didn't expect that I would get married so soon. Aling, just take it if my mom asks you to. You like eating cherries, too."
Sang Yimei said, "There are two boxes of cherries. Each box weighs about 10 kilograms. You can take one."
Su Jinyuan said to Su Tiantian earnestly, "I guess the Liu family will choose a date very early. Then you and Jingze can live a good life. If he treats you badly, remember to tell us. Don't be afraid. The Liu family is rich, but we won't let you down."
Su Tiantian said: "Dad, I understand."
Su Jinyuan said, "While everyone is here, let's talk about the room. Tiantian, when you get married, your family will still have to reserve a room for you. You're currently living in the largest room on the second floor. Can you give it to your brother?"
Su Zhihao said, "No need. I have two rooms on the second floor. They're more than enough."
Sang Yimei said, "When you get married and have children, two rooms will be enough, but a suite would be even better. We plan to renovate the second floor so you and Aling can use it for your wedding, and Tiantian can live in the room on the third floor. It will also be convenient for her to come back occasionally."
