"He already knows."

Shen Qiushan spread his hands.

"Already know?"

"Did Old Lin agree?"

Old man Shen was shocked. On New Year's Eve, the two of them were having New Year's Eve dinner at Shen Qiushan's mansion. At that time, Lin Moxuan was still complaining to Old man Shen in a tactful way that his daughter and Shen Qiushan were too close.

From Lin Moxuan's attitude, it can be seen that he is very opposed to Lin Xiamo and Shen Qiushan being together.

"Agreed!"

"However, he made a request that the wedding should be held according to our local Sanjiang customs, starting with the proposal!"

"According to our Sanjiang customs, when proposing marriage, the man's parents and representatives of the elders must come together."

"So, Dad, you have to work hard."

Shen Qiushan explained Lin Moxuan's request.

“What’s so hard about this!”

"It's just a marriage proposal, I'll go there in person!"

"By the way, I'll call your second uncle to see if he and your second aunt have time. We are not without people in the Shen family, and the elders have to send two people."

"According to custom, a betrothal gift must also be prepared, as well as hardware. Qiushan, how much betrothal gift are you prepared to give?"

Old Man Shen was a native of Sanjiang and was very familiar with the customs and etiquette of marriage.

"Let's give 8.88 million as the betrothal gift."

On the way back, Shen Qiushan thought about this question. He knew that Lin Xiamo didn't care about the amount of the betrothal gift at all.

Lin Moxuan and Chen Qingzhu wouldn't care either, after all, the Lin family was not short of money.

But the amount of the bride price is also a matter of face, and Lin’s relatives will care about it.

Now Chen Qiushan is not short of money at all, and can afford a dowry of 100 million, but it is completely unnecessary.

After careful consideration, he chose an auspicious number: 8.88 million.

Of course, that’s not all. In addition to the 8.88 million yuan betrothal gift, he is also planning to give a house in the community where he lives.

Shen Qiushan's idea was that Lin Moxuan and Chen Qingzhu would move in to help look after their grandson or granddaughter.

When he married Lin Chuxue, Shen Qiushan had nothing. Now that he is rich, he has to make up for it no matter what.

"Well, this number is auspicious!"

Old man Shen knew that his son was now rich and had no shortage of money.

In addition to what happened to Lin Chuxue in the early years, he actually felt sorry for the Lin family. Now that he has the opportunity to make up for it and he has the ability to do so, it is only right for him to give more in betrothal gifts.

"Brother, I'm curious, why did Mayor Lin agree to this?"

"If Thirty is having dinner at your house, he seems to be very opposed to you two being together!"

At this time, Shen Dehua asked curiously.

"Momo is pregnant."

"He has no choice but to agree."

Shen Qiushan smiled and shrugged.

"Really?"

"So, I'm going to be a grandfather again?"

Old man Shen was so happy that the wrinkles on his face almost opened up with laughter.

"Of course it's true."

"Otherwise, my father-in-law might not agree!"

Shen Qiushan shrugged lightly.

There is another reason he didn't mention, and that is the credit of the "little blue bottle".

The gift includes 20 small blue bottles and 20 "sprays"!

They are all good things!

"Very good!"

"This is a triple blessing for our Shen family!"

Old man Shen had a bright smile on his face.

"Qiu Shan, I have something else to discuss with you. Since you don't object to my marriage to your Aunt Wang, can I let her move in?"

As Old Man Shen spoke, he rubbed his hands, with an expectant look on his face.

Men will only be honest when they are hung on the wall.

What's more, Old Man Shen has been showing off his "white legs" in short videos all day long, and he has been eager to make a move.

"I have no objection, you guys can discuss it!"

Shen Qiushan naturally would not stop his father from pursuing his own happiness.

"As long as you have no objection."

"Then I'll go tell her right away!"

"Dehua, I'll go up first!"

Old man Shen stood up and prepared to go upstairs to call his wife and inform her of the good news.

"Dad, I'll go up with you too!"

Shen Qiushan followed his father upstairs and stuffed two small blue bottles into his hand.

"Akiyama, what is this?"

Old man Shen looked at his son with suspicion.

"It's a good thing. You'll need it when Aunt Wang moves in."

Shen Qiushan chuckled.

“You kid!!”

Old Man Shen immediately guessed the use of this thing, and he happily put it away.

"Dad, I'll transfer 300,000 to your card later."

"Since you're getting married, clean up the house and buy Aunt Wang some jewelry, clothes, etc. In any case, don't treat her badly."

At the moment, Shen Qiushan is very wealthy and doesn’t care about this little money at all.

“Okay, okay!”

Old man Shen nodded repeatedly, smiling.

It is said that raising children is a preparation for old age. This is not only a preparation for old age, he has even arranged for a companion!

This is truly my biological son!

The next two days.

Shen Qiushan started shopping mode.

He bought two 248-square-meter houses in Jinjiang Bay where he lived, and left one as part of the betrothal gift to the elderly couple Lin Moxuan and Chen Qingzhu.

The other one was left for his father. Although old man Shen made it clear that he didn't want to live in such a big house, as a son, Shen Qiushan still wanted to treat them equally.

Buy the house first and decide whether to live in it later. You have money anyway.

In addition to the two houses, Shen Qiushan also bought two cars, a Zunjie S800 and a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, which is the lava red version.

He knew that Lin Xiamo liked SUVs, so he simply bought her a top-level SUV, which made him a distinguished Rolls-Royce owner.

In addition to spending, Shen Qiushan took out another 10 million in cash!

Of this, 8.88 million were neatly placed in the trunk of Cullinan.

The piles of red bills almost filled the trunk, which was quite spectacular.

There is a saying in Sanjiang that it should not be mentioned before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

So Shen Qiushan set the date for proposing marriage on the 16th day of the first lunar month.

Early in the morning, the Shen family set out in a mighty manner.

In addition to Shen Qiushan and his two children, Old Man Shen and Shen Dehua's family were also present in the marriage proposal team.

In addition, there was my second uncle’s family who came from another province.

Old man Shen’s full name is Shen Guoqiang.

He has two younger brothers, the second brother is Shen Junqiang and the third brother is Shen Jiaqiang.

When Shen Junqiang was young, he went to another province to serve as a soldier, and later stayed there. However, Shen Jiaqiang had a falling out with his eldest brother, Old Man Shen, in his early years, and the two brothers never had any contact with each other until they died.

The reason why the two brothers fell out was actually quite bloody. It was because of the family property issue of the previous generation.

Similar things are common among the people.

As the eldest son in the family, Old Man Shen finally made concessions. Adhering to the idea that family disgrace should not be made public, he did not take the case to court and did not get a penny.

But the two brothers have not had any contact for decades, and they are truly severed from each other.

In fact, Old Man Shen and his second brother Shen Junqiang's family did not have much contact before. After all, they were more than a thousand miles apart, which was too far, not to mention that both sides had their own lives.

However, after Shen Qiushan became famous, the two sides contacted each other more often than before.

A poor person in a busy city has no one to care about him; a rich person in a remote mountain area has distant relatives.

That's human nature.

A convoy consisting of Cullinan, Zunjie S800 and Wenjie M9 arrived at the Lin family.

Knowing that Shen Qiushan was coming to propose marriage, many relatives from the Lin family also came, such as Lin Moxuan's younger brother's family, and Chen Qingzhu's older sister and younger sister's family.

Almost all of the three major families have three generations, with a total of more than twenty people.

The reason why so many people could come was, of course, because the Lin family lived the best life among the relatives.

Before Lin Moxuan was still the director, the Lin family was already better than his relatives.

Now it’s even more amazing, Lin Moxuan has gone one step further and become the deputy mayor.

This retired "old lady" Chen Qingzhu unexpectedly became an instant hit and became a famous singer!

Not to mention Lin Xiamo. The Red Rose Band became popular all over the country, and she became the lead singer of the most popular band at that time.

After performing on the Spring Festival Gala, the band’s appearance fee soared to over two million.

However, due to health reasons, the band only took on two large-scale performances, both after March.

At that time, Lin Xiamo was already four months pregnant and had entered a stable period, so proper exercise would be beneficial.

When the two families met, the scene was very lively.

Because of the marriage proposal process, both parties have someone in charge.

On the Shen family's side is Shen Qiushan's second aunt Feng Yulan, who is from the Northeast, is eloquent, and runs a restaurant.

On the Lin family side, there is Lin Xiamo’s third aunt Chen Qingya. She has worked in the Women’s Federation for her entire life and has experienced such occasions too many times.

The two sides chatted for a while and then talked about the issue of bride price.

When talking about this, Feng Yulan's voice became much louder. She has also acted as a matchmaker and helped people propose marriages.

But I have only encountered such a generous gift once in my life.

In the words of "Lao Li", such a rich battle has never been fought in his life!

"The betrothal gift our family prepared includes 8.88 million in cash."

"ah?"

"How many??"

Lin Moxuan and Chen Qingzhu had no reaction when they heard this number, they all knew that Shen Qiushan was rich.

But Chen Qingya and others were very surprised, because they knew that Shen Qiushan was a famous writer and it was said on the Internet that he seemed to be quite rich.

But what I heard is just what I heard, I don’t have any idea about it.

It’s different now, the betrothal gift is 8.88 million!!

Although Lin Moxuan is a powerful deputy mayor, everyone knows that he is not a corrupt official and does not make much money. The betrothal gift from Shen Qiushan is probably more than he will earn in his entire life.

Feng Yulan was very satisfied with the reactions of Chen Qingya and others. She continued, "There is another car, the Rolls-Royce Cullinan!"

"Wow! There's a car!"

"Rolls-Royce Cullinan, this must be worth 10 million!"

"As expected of a famous writer, he's really rich!"

Lin's relatives couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.

"There is another house in Jinjiang Bay, 248 square meters."

Feng Yulan threw out another "king bomb".

Who can give a 248-square-meter house as a dowry?

And she asked, this house is worth tens of millions!

In other words, the total value of the betrothal gifts prepared by Shen Qiushan is almost 30 million!

“There are actually houses in Jinjiang Bay!”

"This is the first time I've seen such a large amount of betrothal gifts!"

“Writers really make money!”

Everyone sighed again.

This time, even Lin Moxuan and Chen Qingzhu showed surprised expressions on their faces.

They thought that Chen Qiushan would give a lot of betrothal gifts, but they didn't expect that he would also give a house in Jinjiang Bay.

"Aunt Momo, dear friends, the car and the gift are at the door. Let's go out and take a look, and take a group photo..."

Feng Yulan was busy with the arrangements while smiling.

"OK!"

"Come on, go on, go outside and take a look!"

Everyone moved away.

The Lin family lives on the first floor, and the Cullinan is parked at the door of the unit.

After everyone came out, he opened the trunk directly.

There was a sudden burst of “Wow” at the scene.

The impact of 8.88 million in cash is really too great!

Everyone present, including Lin Moxuan, had only seen so much cash on TV.

Many people took out their phones and started taking pictures. Lin Jiayu even rushed to the trunk, stretched out his arms and lay directly on the pile of money: "Yanran, take a picture for me."

"This is too happy! I wonder if I had so much betrothal gifts when I got married!"

Lin Xiamo, who was behind the crowd, pulled Shen Qiushan's arm and whispered, "There's no need to be so exaggerated, right?"

“It’s necessary!”

“It’s necessary!”

Shen Qiushan replied with a smile: "Look how happy they are. A wedding should be lively and festive."

"Then why did you buy a house?"

Lin Xiamo asked again.

"I was thinking that after the baby is born, it will be easier for my parents to take care of it."

"Of course, if they don't want to live there, they can come back!"

Shen Qiushan explained.

"Yeah, that's right."

Lin Xiamo thought it made sense. Although she could hire a confinement nanny to take care of the child, the parents would definitely want to be involved.

The relationship between generations is not just talk!

When Shen Yanran and Shen Yixiao were young, Lin Moxuan and Chen Qingzhu took special care of them.

Even though Lin Moxuan disliked Shen Qiushan at that time, he was generous to the two children and gave them the best.

What's more, now that the relationship between the two sides has been restored, the old couple Lin Moxuan and Chen Qingzhu are older and should like children even more.

"Akiyama, come here for a moment."

While the two were whispering, Lin Moxuan waved to Shen Qiushan.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

Shen Qiushan hurried over and asked in a low voice.

"Your betrothal gift is very generous!"

Lin Moxuan sighed first, then changed the subject: "But, is there something missing?"

Shen Qiushan chuckled: "Dad, I have already put the things in your study, together with the cigarettes and alcohol."

“Really?”

Upon hearing this, Lin Moxuan smiled immediately, and patted Shen Qiushan's shoulder with appreciation: "Qiushan, you are doing things more and more like an institutional person."

"Would you consider taking a job?"

"With your influence, it's not difficult!"

Lin Moxuan said casually.

"Let's just forget it."

"I'm used to being idle!"

Shen Qiushan waved his hand gently. He knew himself too well and knew that he was not suitable for working in the system.

Hearing him say that, Lin Moxuan didn't continue the topic. He was just asking casually.

"I'm going to the bathroom."

Lin Moxuan made an excuse, went back inside, and headed straight for the study.

Luxury cars and mansions have no appeal to him at all. These worldly things are only cared about by "ordinary people".

What he cares about is the hidden version of the bride price!
