Chapter 356 There is nothing valuable

Wang Xiaohui nodded. "I thought so too, so I have to trouble you for another night."

"Wait until tomorrow, when Shu He leaves, I will go to my mother's place. After the divorce procedures are completed after the New Year, I will go directly to the city."

Gu Jinfeng immediately waved her hand proudly, "This is no trouble at all."

"Just sleep in Jiaojiao's room like you did yesterday."

Lin Jiaojiao passed by with a basin of fish and said generously, "It's okay, you take Qiuqiu to sleep, and I will sleep with my aunt."

As everyone was talking, brothers Wen Hongjun and Wen Chaoying arrived.

They also came to the banquet.

Seeing the two of them, Gu Juyuan hurriedly looked for tea and cigarettes.

Lin Liansheng also helped move the benches.

Wang Xiaohui quickly put the things in Lin Jiaojiao's room next door.

Chi Yue just got up at this moment.

She carried the teacup to the gate of the courtyard wall and saw people coming and going next door, just like in a market. She really didn't have the courage to squat by the well and brush her teeth as if no one was around.

The moment Qiuqiu came over, Jiajia went straight to Qiuqiu and started playing with him.

So at this moment, Lin Jingshen just walked around in the yard holding his little daughter.

Then he saw Chi Yue standing by the door with a toothbrush and a teacup.

Looking at the people busy coming and going in the yard, Lin Jingshen hurried over and asked, "Do you want to brush your teeth?"

At that moment, Chi Yue just wanted to roll her eyes and say, "No, I want to eat toothpaste!"

But because she was too lazy to even roll her eyes, she heard Lin Jingshen's next words, "Hold Nanxi, I'll go get you a bucket of water, and you can just brush the yard over here."

I have to say that this solution really made Chi Yue very satisfied.

It was rare that she wasn't angry or depressed.

Maybe it was because Lin Jingshen helped her solve the dilemma when she was in trouble.

Chi Yue nodded, then found a place to put down the teacup and toothbrush, reached out to take her daughter, and waited for Lin Jingshen to scoop water from his arm and pour it into the teacup.

He took his daughter with one hand.

There is still a lot of water left in the ladle, which can be used to rinse the toothbrush later.

Chi Yue was squatting there brushing her teeth, while Lin Jingshen held his daughter in one hand and walked back and forth with a ladle in the other, with a smile on his face, teasing his little daughter who was a few months old.

Chi Yue just took a quick glance, then lowered her head and continued brushing her teeth.

The day of the banquet is very busy, and even with a lot of people helping, it is still busy.

But fortunately, we are done with today’s work, so there will be no one to attend the banquet tomorrow.

Tomorrow we will all be family members, and once we send the bride out, this matter will be over.

The banquet was over during the day, and it was only at night that it was time for sister-in-law Wen Tang to play a role.

Because we have to add boxes to the bride at night.

Just take out the empty boxes and see what dowry the bride's family gave.

In the afternoon, matchmaker Wei Hongtao brought several elders from the man's family to give the betrothal money.

The betrothal money is delivered one day in advance, and the bride's family decides whether to take it away and how much to take away the next day.

The things the Shen family gave for engagement were much higher than the standards in the village, and the betrothal gift was also much higher.

The betrothal gift given by the Shen family was six hundred and eighty-eight.

Six hundred and eighty-eight pieces, brought in on a tray covered with a red cloth.

From the time he got off the car all the way to the main room, there was no cover at all.

Even though they didn't know the exact amount, looking at the tray of money, everyone knew that Gu Shuhe would have to give a dowry.

When they got inside, Wei Hongtao said, "Six hundred and eighty-eight yuan, Shuhe, click on it!"

The people who stayed to help were stunned when they heard the number, "Six hundred and eighty-eight?"

“So many!”

"If this happened here, he could marry six wives."

"That's right!"

Everyone was talking about it.

Even Wu Guifang couldn't help but whisper in Gu Jinfeng's ear, "I originally thought that Binbin was pretty good, but now it seems fortunate that Shuhe didn't agree at the time, otherwise I would have missed out on this good marriage now."

"But this marriage was also arranged by God. Shu He must have sensed it at that time. God has arranged something good for her to come!"

Gu Jinfeng just grinned and said vaguely, "Everyone has his own fate."

She didn't want to say more about the rest, and it was not easy to say more, after all, Shi Bin was related to Wu Guifang's family.

Wu Guifang herself said that it was nothing, but if she said too much, people might get upset.

Gu Jinfeng grinned, her eyes all on the betrothal gift. As expected, Wu Guifang stopped talking and started discussing Gu Shuhe's good fortune with the people around her.

Gu Shuhe counted the money under everyone's gaze with a red face.

After Gu Shuhe finished ordering, Wei Hongtao asked with a smile, "Shuhe, is this amount correct?"

Gu Shuhe nodded shyly.

Wei Hongtao smiled and said, "Now that I have handed the betrothal money to you, my mission as a matchmaker will be accomplished."

"Tomorrow is your wedding day. I would like to wish you a happy marriage in advance and a happy and harmonious life together!" Wei Hongtao said with his hands clasped.

Although Gu Shuhe blushed, she still said "Thank you!"

Then Wei Hongtao and several elders of the Shen family were surrounded by people from the Gu family and taken to the wine table. They had dinner there before getting on the car to return to the county town.

Before leaving, Wei Hongtao walked slowly and said to Gu Yanli, "Tomorrow a car will come to pick up the bride, and three tractors will come to pick up the things and the people who will escort the bride. They will definitely arrive at nine in the morning. Let's try to leave at ten."

Gu Juyuan nodded beside him, "Okay, okay, I've got it all down. Let's get in the car!"

Gu Juyuan was really afraid that he would fall.

Wei Hongtao opened his hands and wanted to say something, but Gu Yanli pushed him into the car.

As soon as the car door was closed, a pack of cigarettes was stuffed into the driver's pocket and the car drove away.

Only after they left did Zhong Meixian have time to take Wen Tang to see the dowry she had prepared for Gu Shuhe.

There were two large wardrobes, two mahogany boxes, and a newly fashionable basin rack with a dressing mirror. The rest were quilts, quilt covers, bed sheets, porcelain basins, kettles and other things.

Zhong Meixian prepared six sets of quilts.

All sorts of things filled up half the room.

Zhong Meixian rubbed her hands beside her and said carefully, "The Shen family gave a lot of things. I'm afraid that if there are not enough, she will say something bad when she goes over."

Zhong Meixian was afraid that her daughter-in-law would say that she was partial to her daughter.

Unexpectedly, Wen Tang asked, "Is that all?"

Zhong Meixian "..."

"…Marrying off a daughter is not like marrying a wife, so what else can you give?" The old lady stuttered.

"There's nothing valuable here!" Wen Tang said, looking at the porcelain basin.

As she spoke, she called out to the door, "Gu Yanli!"

Gu Yanli came running over immediately.

"Go, get the radio we bought."

The radio was brought in quickly, and Wen Tang motioned for it to be placed in the middle of the dowry. Then he said with some regret, "I wanted to buy an electric fan, but it's winter now and there's no stock. Otherwise, it would look better if we put it in the middle!"

Zhong Meixian immediately said, "This is all you and Yan Li have to spend money on. How can you buy anything else?"

Unexpectedly, when adding more boxes in the evening, Wen Tang even brought a bag into the house.

Gu Jinfeng and the others all had quilt covers, pillowcases, bed sheets and other things.

Wen Tang placed the bag directly in front of the mahogany box, then raised his chin and motioned Gu Yanli to open it.
