"We...can't get married yet!"

Liu Changhe's face was gloomy.

Xiao Yu also lowered her head and remained silent.

Between the two of them.

There was a slight discord.

Yang Aihua noticed the problem.

"What happened? Is there some difficulty?"

Liu Changhe shook his head.

I don't want to say more.

Xiao Yu moved her lips, but in the end she couldn't hold back.

"Auntie, could you please help me judge this matter?"

"These days, which family doesn't require a house and a car, and how much is the bride price?"

"My mom said, 'You can do without a car, but you absolutely must have a house!'"

"Isn't that a bit much?"

"As for the bride price, a token amount of 68,000 yuan will suffice."

"Not too many, right?"

"But Liu Changhe's family..."

Yang Aihua looked at Liu Changhe.

I'm a little confused.

"Changhe, to be fair."

"Xiao Yu's family's request isn't unreasonable, so why...?"

Liu Changhe gave a bitter smile.

"Auntie, it's not that we don't want to give, we just don't have the money!"

“A few years ago, our family renovated our old house, which cost a lot of money.”

"These past two years, I finally managed to pay off my debts, and now I have to prepare for my wedding."

"Everything else is fine. I'm grateful for their understanding. They didn't ask for much in betrothal gifts, and we can afford it."

"But the houses are too expensive. The one I like requires a down payment of 400,000 yuan."

"Where would I get that much money?"

"If we can't buy a house... then we can't get married."

Yang Aihua looked worried.

"For us rural folks, buying a house is just... so incredibly difficult!"

"If it weren't for Yangzi's own hard work, we probably wouldn't have been able to afford it in our entire lives."

"Sigh... Changhe, you can't make a mistake when it comes to marriage!"

"Don't let a little money cause... any unpleasantness!"

Liu Changhe looked at Xiao Yu.

There was guilt in his eyes.

"Xiaoyu, I'm so sorry! I've put you in this difficult position!"

Tears welled up in Xiao Yu's eyes and rolled down her cheeks.

"The Long River..."

The young couple held hands.

Clinging tightly, unwilling to part.

"cough!"

Chen Yang suddenly coughed.

Just trying to make my presence known.

"Da Liu, you've encountered such a big problem, why didn't you tell me?"

Liu Changhe stammered.

"I……"

Chen Yang then asked:

"Tell me quickly, how much more is needed for the down payment?"

Liu Changhe's face flushed red, but he still couldn't say anything.

"Still...still..."

Xiao Yu, standing to the side, pinched his waist in frustration.

He eagerly answered:

"Brother Yang, we're still short 200,000."

Chen Yang smiled.

"Okay, you're still short 200,000, I'll give you... 300,000."

"Make sure this wedding goes smoothly and is a grand affair!"

Xiao Yu jumped up excitedly.

"How much? 300,000?"

Liu Changhe was also dumbfounded!

Why... did they give an extra 100,000?

Without saying a word, Chen Yang transferred the money on the spot.

"Ding-dong!"

Liu Changhe's phone rang.

I clicked on it and took a look.

Holy crap!

I really received 300,000!

Xiao Yu squeezed through, craning her neck to look at the bank's text messages together.

Seeing those countless zeros, I finally believed it.

Everything is real!

In my heart.

I was both excited and grateful!

And I feel guilty!

Chen Yang is so good to them.

Just now, she was secretly slandering him, saying he was a kept man!

Licking onto rich women!

That's so wrong!

Yang is capable, responsible, rich, and handsome.

He's so good to his friends!

No wonder so many beautiful women are vying to come here!

After dealing with Liu Changhe's matter.

Chen Yang then looked at Xu Wenqing.

"Wenqing, Auntie's illness can't be delayed any longer. We should send her to the hospital for treatment."

"How much money do you need? Name your price."

Xu Wenqing stammered.

"This...this...isn't this inappropriate?"

Chen Yang said impatiently:

"Wenqing, don't be shy with me, just tell me!"

Xu Wenqing thought for a moment.

"100,000, that should be about right, right?"

Chen Yang made the final decision.

"I'll give you 200,000 yuan to find a serious and meticulous caregiver to take good care of Auntie and Uncle."

"If you need surgery but don't have enough money, just let me know."

Xu Wenqing was so excited that he couldn't say a word.

I just made up my mind silently in my heart.

Only by doing the work assigned by Chen Yang conscientiously can we repay his kindness.

Take stock of total assets.

The original number was 69.1 million.

He transferred 300,000 yuan to Liu Changhe and 200,000 yuan to Xu Wenqing.

There are 68.6 million left.

Everyone was chatting in the lobby on the first floor.

The housekeeper, Bao Qingqing, suddenly walked in.

He whispered to Chen Yang that someone was looking for him outside.

Chen Yang walked outside the gate.

Then I saw Zhang Dajiang and his group.

"Mr. Zhang, what can I do for you?"

Zhang Dajiang chuckled.

"Brother Chen, congratulations! Congratulations on your housewarming today! May this be auspicious and prosperous!"

Chen Yang cursed inwardly.

What a jinx.

Without you, things would definitely be very auspicious.

They talk the talk but don't walk the walk.

A tycoon?

I've never seen anyone so stingy!

"Mr. Zhang, you're too kind!"

Chen Yang gave a perfunctory reply and then fell silent.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting a bit awkward, Zhang Dajiang directly stated his purpose.

“Brother Chen, there’s a dock near your door, I think it’s excellent.”

"How about you part with it and sell it to me?"

Chen Yang shook his head without hesitation.

"Sorry, not for sale!"

Zhang Dajiang's expression was rather unpleasant.

After thinking about it, I was still unwilling to give up.

"If you really can't bear to part with it, how about renting it to me? The price is negotiable."

Chen Yang shook his head again.

"Neither for sale nor for rent!"

"I'll keep this dock for my own use; I definitely won't sell it."

Zhang Dajiang was completely unable to keep up the pretense.

Anger blazed in his eyes.

The sound was eerie and terrifying.

"Think carefully before you answer. Can you bear the consequences of offending the Zhang Group?"

Chen Yang also became famous.

What is that?

You dare threaten me?

"Sister Qing, see the guests out!"

He told Bao Qingqing to kick him out, and then he turned and left.

Behind him.

Zhang Dajiang watched Chen Yang's retreating figure.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes.

How dare you disrespect me!

Kid, just you wait, I'll make you regret this!

Not only could the wedding banquet not be held.

You can't even fit into this villa.

Chen Yang returned to the villa.

A lively welcome immediately rang out from the entrance.

"Welcome, Director Wang, to our home!"

Chen Yang greeted him with a smile.

"Huaizhi, you're so busy with work, how come you have time to come over?"

He simply explained the details to all the potential guests.

Unexpectedly, Wang Huaizhi actually came.

Wang Huaizhi took the initiative to extend both hands and shake hands with Chen Yang.

"Brother Yang, congratulations!"

The gift he brought was a red envelope containing 10,000 yuan.

It was a small expense.

Many people are curious.

None of Chen Yang's friends were in officialdom.

Now, what's this director doing here?

It sounds like someone in a government position.

After Chen Yang's explanation, everyone was even more shocked.

This young man is actually the mayor's secretary!

This is no ordinary person!

They immediately became respectful.

Even Chen Yang's parents, Chen Zhongshi and Yang Aihua, seemed very reserved.

There's no way around it; our ancestors have been farmers for generations.

I've never seen any high-ranking officials.

Wang Huaizhi heard that these two were Chen Yang's parents.

They immediately became enthusiastic.

He took the initiative to greet the two elders and inquired about their well-being.

They even offered to refill their tea.

The two elders were flattered and overwhelmed.

Chen Yang found it amusing.

"Dad, Mom, don't be nervous."

"Just do whatever you like."

Chen Zhongshi immediately launched into a serious critique.

"He's the mayor's secretary, how can we be negligent towards him?"

"What if the mayor finds out?"

Chen Yang smiled.

"Dad, it's really okay."

"If the mayor finds out, he won't blame me."

"The mayor even told him to call me Brother Yang!"

Chen Zhongshi's eyes widened.

The sound suddenly rose in pitch, almost blowing the roof off.

"You brat, what nonsense are you spouting?"

"You dare joke about the mayor? Believe me, I'll break your legs!"
