Chapter 365

"Uncle Xue, I'm sorry."

Gu Xizhou's attitude was sincere and his face was full of apology.

"I will pay Nanzhi the full amount of the betrothal gift in a few days."

After hearing his assurance, Xue Jiawang's expression looked better.

"You said so. Don't wait for a few days and then play tricks on us."

Although Gu Xizhou made a promise, Xue Jiawang still couldn't help but worry because he was so straightforward.

After all, nowadays there are many families whose children are getting married and everything is going well at the beginning, but in the end the talks break down because of the bride price and dowry.

"Uncle Xue, Nanzhi and I won't be leaving Zhoushan County in the short term. You can supervise me then."

Gu Xizhou was not angry because of Xue Jiawang's suspicious attitude. He still looked sincere, even with a hint of earnestness.

"I'm the only one at home. When Nanzhi and I have our wedding, if there's anything wrong, you can help us find it."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xue Jiawang and Liang Hongying were completely relieved. They had not expected that Gu Xizhou and Su Nanzhi had already obtained a marriage certificate and were planning to hold a wedding. By the time the wedding was held, the betrothal gifts would be put on display and would not go away.

Although it was pitiful that Gu Xizhou was the only one in the family, Nanzhi no longer had to worry about the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

"Okay, okay." Liang Hongyingli agreed immediately, lowering her voice but still unable to hide her excitement, she said, "I'll find someone to calculate the date when the time comes."

Gu Xizhou also had a smile on his face, "I'll trouble you when the time comes."

Su Nanzhi, who was standing aside, watched the few people chatting animatedly and couldn't help but step on Gu Xizhou's foot.

She, the person involved, didn't even know that she was going to have a wedding.

Su Nanzhi didn't use much strength, but Gu Xizhou's expression didn't change at all. However, his hand under the table quietly grabbed Su Nanzhi's hand and said, "I know it's a bit too sudden to get the marriage certificate today."

Gu Xizhou said this to Xue Jiawang and Liang Hongying, but more importantly, he was talking to Su Nanzhi.

"But if we don't get the marriage certificate, I won't be able to rest easy. I'm afraid Nanzhi won't want to marry me."

When these words were spoken, Xue Jiawang and Liang Hongying were stunned at first, and then looked at Su Nanzhi with a joking look.

At first, they thought that Gu Xizhou tricked Su Nanzhi into getting the marriage certificate because she had no family to support her.

Now looking at it this way, the truth of the matter is completely different from what they thought.

Their already hanging hearts suddenly fell.

Su Nanzhi's ears turned red from the teasing looks of the two elders, and she couldn't help but twist Gu Xizhou's hand hard.

But no one knew what Gu Xizhou's hands were made of. Gu Xizhou didn't feel any pain, but Su Nanzhi's hands were tired.

Looking at Gu Xizhou's look like a child who didn't understand what was going on, Su Nanzhi couldn't help but speak anymore.

"Are you planning to borrow money to hold the wedding?" Upon hearing Su Nanzhi's words, Xue Jiawang and Liang Hongying, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, immediately showed a vigilant look on their faces.

The next second, I heard Su Nanzhi say, "Are you planning to take the passbook you gave me back and use it again?"

When Gu Xizhou heard this, his expression froze.

But soon he smiled again.

"I'll borrow it from you."

"Deduct it from the pocket money you give me every month."

Su Nanzhi felt that since the mission was over, Gu Xizhou seemed like a different person and became even more shameless.

Although she thought so in her heart, a smile appeared on her face unconsciously, and she was obviously very satisfied with Gu Xizhou's words.

Xue Jiawang and Liang Hongying glared at Su Nanzhi in tacit understanding. Why did this kid gasp for breath when he spoke? They just thought that Gu Xizhou was just a face-saver and had no money at all.

I didn't expect to know this big surprise the next second.

Their remaining doubts about Gu Xizhou disappeared in an instant, and there was a hint of kindness in their eyes when they looked at Gu Xizhou.

"You kid, you only know how to joke around. What's the point of borrowing or not?" Liang Hongying said with a smile, "If you don't have money, your uncle Xue and I will lend you some."

However, the two of them tacitly did not ask Su Nanzhi to return the passbook to Gu Xizhou.

They can't be the ones who hold back. Since Gu Xizhou has handed over the family's financial power to Nanzhi, and Nanzhi is not the kind of person who has no plans, they are naturally happy to see it happen.

Of course, Gu Xizhou couldn't ask the Xue family for a loan, so he just looked at Su Nanzhi pitifully with his eyes open.

Finally, Su Nanzhi couldn't stand it anymore, and said with a big hand, "The money for the wedding will be deducted from your money and mine."

In her previous life, she and Qin Lie got married and only got a marriage certificate. It would be a lie to say that she didn't envy others' weddings.

What's more, Gu Xizhou has this intention. She also wants to dress up beautifully so that more people can witness her happiness.

"Thank you, Nanzhi."

Gu Xizhou's voice was so gentle that it made Su Nanzhi's heart flutter like a deer.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the room changed from tense to full of laughter.

Xue Wu, who was standing outside the door, and Xue Wen and Xue Shuang, who had just returned from shopping, were all confused.

It was not until everyone sat down to eat that the three brothers realized what their parents and Su Nanzhi had been talking about in the room.

When they heard that the two were going to have a wedding, the three of them were even more excited than Su Nanzhi, the person involved.

"Nanzhi, when...when the time comes, I will carry you on my back to get married."

This is what Xue Wen said.

"Brother, you are weak, so it's better for me to carry Nanzhi on my back when she gets married."

Xue Wu was not convinced.

Xue Shuang watched his two brothers quarreling, and then he came to Su Nanzhi and whispered, "Sister Nanzhi, I'd better carry you on my back when you get married. I'm young and strong."

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard his words.

But in the end, Xue Wen got there first, after all, Xue Wen was the eldest brother.

Not long after the Xue family left, there was a knock on the gate of the Su family's old house.

Gu Xizhou was cleaning up the dishes in the kitchen, and it was Su Nanzhi who opened the door.

The person outside the door was none other than Su Chun, whom Su Nanzhi had just met yesterday. Besides Su Chun, there were two men, one old and one young, beside him.

From their appearance, you can tell that these two people are Su Chun's father and brother.

When Su Tiegen saw Su Nanzhi for the first time, his brows unconsciously raised.

He has two sons and a daughter. The eldest son works as a temporary worker, the second son is Su Chun, and the youngest daughter is only in junior high school.

His wife was in good health before, and although she was not a formal worker, the family could still make ends meet.

But who knew that my husband would suddenly fall ill. My family had to borrow money from everyone, but life was difficult for everyone. Fortunately, we managed to collect enough money for my husband's surgery.

However, after Su Chun found out, he refused to study. Yesterday, he came home happily and said that he had found a good job.

Naturally, they didn't believe it and thought Su Chun had been cheated.

But Su Chun was good at talking and said that the person who helped him make money was both a capable person in the tractor factory and a teacher in the college entrance examination cram school.

He and his eldest son Su Dong followed him to the Su family's old house with half belief and half doubt, wanting to meet this capable man.

In his mind, this person should be a middle-aged man wearing glasses who looks very capable and energetic.

Anyway, it shouldn't be a lesbian like Su Nanzhi who looks beautiful and even a little delicate.

I'm afraid that Su Chun is in love.
