She took another step back. She could use half of her monthly retirement pension to help her daughter, and give her a larger dowry. They could manage to get by, as long as He Ping treated her daughter well.

“I have no objection, but everyone is very busy with work right now. Qiaoying’s father will be going back to work in a few days! You also took leave to come here, so let’s finalize the wedding today. I don’t think I can help you with the banquet. When you get back there, buy more wedding candy and cookies and treat the villagers to a good meal.”

Chu Wanfang wanted to attend her daughter's wedding banquet, but she was ill and couldn't leave. Her husband's job was different, and he had to go back soon.

I can only let the two of them handle it themselves. I feel a pang of sadness in my heart. I look at my eldest daughter, and then at Qian Luoshui.

Neither her eldest daughter nor her eldest daughter-in-law held a wedding banquet; she really didn't do a good enough job.

“I will listen to my uncle and aunt. As soon as we get back there, we will get the marriage certificate and hold a wedding banquet there. When we have time during the Chinese New Year, we can come back here and hold another banquet.”

He Ping felt he couldn't let Shen Qiaoying down; he needed to keep his promise.

"Okay." Chu Wanfang nodded in satisfaction when she heard He Ping's suggestion, and took Qiaoying's hand: "When you come back for the New Year, Mom will personally take care of the wedding and invite everyone in the compound to your wedding banquet. He Ping's parents will also be on holiday then, so they can come and attend together."

"When the time comes, brother-in-law will have to prepare red envelopes for his nephew and niece!" Shen Qiaoyue teased.

“Okay, I’ll definitely prepare.” He Ping replied magnanimously.

And so the marriage was arranged.

The bride price was the same as the one Lu Chen had given to Shen Qiaoyue before.

A dowry of two hundred yuan, plus three turns and a radio.

Shen Yuanfan was also delighted and clapped his hands in approval.

Let Shen Qiaoyue and Lu Chen come over together this weekend, have another meal as a family, and be sure to drink alcohol so you can have a good time.

Shen Qiaoyue, Lu Chen, and Shen Qiaoyu arrived at their destination and took a car back around the appointed time.

Qian Luoshui escorted Shen Qiaoyu downstairs.

"Are you free to come over this weekend?" Qian Luoshui looked at Chen Qiaoyu with reluctance.
