Chapter 324: Our Family Doesn’t Have Time to Prepare Dowry

This time Gu Juyuan was no longer a good person and asked directly, "Isn't it too hasty?"

Wei Hongtao glanced at Shen Tingci. As the matchmaker invited by Shen Tingci, he could only help smooth things over. "Uncle, we are all experienced people. We all know that marriage is all about fate."

"Sometimes this is fate, don't you think?"

Gu Yanli only said, "In such a hurry, our family doesn't have time to prepare the dowry!"

He said this deliberately, wanting to see what Shen Tingci would say.

Shen Tingci turned his body slightly towards Gu Yanli before saying, “If you don’t mind this part, I can prepare it.”

He is the eldest son in their family, so there will be no shortage of people on their wedding day.

It's okay for him if Gu Shuhe really doesn't bring any dowry, because his father never says anything about these things.

He could just stop him from talking.

But he couldn't stop the gossips of those who attended the wedding that day.

Once Shuhe marries him, she will inevitably integrate into his life.

He would have to come into contact with those people who attended the wedding to some extent in his future life, and he didn't want Shuhe to be talked about.

When people live in the secular world, they always have to deal with all kinds of secular life.

So he could prepare a dowry for Shuhe.

Gu Yanli approved of his approach in his heart, because if he married into a family like his, he would inevitably be talked about if he married into the family empty-handed.

The better ones didn't talk about it to his face, but the bolder ones dared to say it to his face once Shuhe was left alone.

If Shen Tingci said that he didn't care about dowry or not, Gu Yanli would really have an opinion.

Is this something he cares about or not?

In real life, there are too many practical issues to consider.

Shen Tingci said this, obviously considering the problem from Shuhe's perspective.

Although Gu Yanli approved of Shen Tingci's approach, he still looked sarcastic "If people knew about this, what would you say about Shuhe?"

"Can't your family afford the dowry?"

Shen Tingci was not angry either, "I won't let anyone else know, I'm confident I can still do this!"

Seeing this, Gu Juyuan quickly said, "No, no, we have saved enough money for Xiaohe, and she has money on her own, so you don't need to prepare a dowry."

Zhong Meixian also said, "Yes, time is a bit tight, but we can still prepare a simple dowry."

Shen Tingci thought they were worried that this would be known to others, so he said, "It doesn't matter, I have some spare money."

All his salary and bonuses from these years are in his hands. He doesn't spend much money on weekdays. He is 27 years old this year, so he does have some extra money.

Not only can you prepare a dowry for Shuhe, but you can also prepare a very decent dowry.

But Gu Juyuan and Zhong Meixian still refused, "What's yours is yours, we can't take it."

"You have it, and you'll need it when you live with Shuhe in the future."

Wei Hongtao tried to smooth things over again, "That's right, since uncle and aunt said there is, there must be!"

"Time is a bit rushed, but let's pick a date before the New Year and marry her home before the New Year, okay?" He said this while looking at Shen Tingci.

Shen Tingci nodded.

"Then, the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month!"

"After the banquet, it won't affect our New Year celebrations. If you want to prepare a dowry for my younger sister, you'll have plenty of time. What do you think?"

Gu Juyuan and Zhong Meixian didn't say anything, they just looked at Gu Yanli together.

Gu Yanli said, "It doesn't matter what day it is, but one thing is that once you get married, you can't be wronged."

"I can't tolerate any grain of sand in my eyes, and my sister is the same."

"My sister won't eat half-cooked rice, and she won't live through half-cooked days either."

Wei Hongtao immediately said, "Don't worry, I'm the matchmaker. If my little sister is wronged, not only you, but I won't agree to it either."

As he spoke, he hit Shen Tingci, "Minister Shen, remember what we said today. If you let my little sister down, we, her family, will not let you off easily."

Shen Tingci rarely smiled and said, "Director Wei, rest assured. If one day I go against what I said today, you can beat me and scold me, and I will never say a word."

"Okay, I believe you," Wei Hongtao patted his shoulder again.

Even though this matter was settled, the smile on Shen Tingci's lips never faded.

His smile is like a magnolia flower blooming on a branch, graceful and elegant.

Gu Yanli thought, based on this face, his sister really didn't suffer any loss.

Now that the matter has been agreed upon, Gu Juyuan naturally has to invite people to dinner!

Today we mainly focus on keeping Wei Hongtao.

Shen Tingci slipped away twice before, but he didn’t slip away today.

Lin Liansheng went to the backyard to catch and kill chickens.

Gu Yanli was sent to buy some vegetables.

There are really few things in the countryside.

Even if Gu Yanli went to buy another two pounds of meat, it still looked shabby.

It’s not that Gu Yanli is stingy and doesn’t want to buy more, it’s just that there is only so much.

Even with chicken, meat, and eggs, it still seems not enough.

Gu Juyuan thought of the things that Shen Ting had given away.

I was not very active before and was ready to return it to him.

The matter has been settled today, and the things have not been returned yet.

Gu Juyuan took out the ham that Shen Tingci had given him, and Zhong Meixian cut it, which was considered an additional meat dish.

Then there were tofu, bean sprouts and other dishes, making a total of six dishes.

Gu Juyuan also asked Gu Yanli to invite Xu Zhongguo and Xu Huaishan to come and have dinner with Wei Hongtao and Shen Tingci.

After hearing the situation, Xu Zhongguo naturally went there happily.

Another car was parked in front of the Gu family's house. People who were returning home from work at noon would inevitably stop at the door and ask a few questions.

Zhong Meixian also told others that "she is Shuhe's boyfriend."

"Is Shuhe settled?"

"Where are you from?" someone asked.

Zhong Meixian also just said "from the county town."

Zhong Meixian didn’t want to say more.

It’s not that they are afraid of others saying they are marrying above their station, but they are afraid that others will find out and come to them to ask for favors.

If you don't do it when the time comes, you will offend people.

Although this matter cannot be concealed, she will talk about it later. Anyway, she will stay in the city more in the future.

You can't go and show off now.

When everyone heard that he was from the county town and saw that he was driving a car, they all showed their envy, "Xiaohe has seemed to be a well-behaved child since he was young. He really has a good life," someone praised.

Zhong Meixian was very modest about this matter. "What's the good or bad fortune? We just have to make do with our lives."

She wasn't very enthusiastic. After we asked her a few questions, we all went back to cook because we had to work in the afternoon.

However, a few people couldn't help but discuss it on the way.

Qiu Yuefang was sitting at the door of her house, so naturally she heard a few things.

When he heard that the daughter of the Gu family was going to marry a rich man in the county, his eyes bulged out with jealousy.

In the past, she could vent her hatred by scolding Wen Tang every day for not being able to have children, making up dirty rumors about Wen Tang, and saying some dirty words.

But this time when Wen Tang came back, she was not only pregnant, but also with twins. Now the news has spread throughout the entire team, and everyone says that the Gu family is so blessed!

Qiu Yuefang even became sick from anger over this incident.

He stayed in bed for several days, and only managed to sit down at the door these two days.

I didn't expect to be hit head-on as soon as I came out.
