Chapter 229 When did the Pei family become so rich?

The next day after sending Lin Yunchu home, Pei Huaiyuan immediately found a fortune teller in the village who specialized in choosing auspicious dates.

"Gu family's little girl, National Day is a great day! It's a good day for you two to get married."

Accompanied by Pei Huaiyuan, the gentleman met Lin Yunchu.

Lin Yunchu looked at Pei Huaiyuan and marveled at his efficiency.

What he said last night was implemented this morning.

He calculated the wedding date.

"Thank you, sir."

Lin Yunchu thanked him politely.

"You're welcome. You two are a match made in heaven."

After saying some auspicious words, the gentleman said goodbye politely.

After hearing the news, Wu Weiyin excitedly wiped her hands with her apron.

The two children finally set a date for their wedding.

Their little girl has never thought about having a wedding banquet. She has always been worried that something might go wrong if she delays it.

Now, the wedding date has been set.

She will never have nightmares again.

"Qiuhong, look, Yunchu's wedding date has been set. We have to prepare some dowry for her...You got married several years ago, and now I see that everyone seems to have to prepare some new things for their wedding. You often go around town, do you know what to buy?"

Wu Weiyin thought about it for a long time and finally decided that it would be better to ask Gu Qiuhong.

"Mom, don't worry about this, I know!"

"In the past, the three most common items for a wedding were a sewing machine, a bicycle, and a watch. Now, everyone has these at home. When getting married, everyone buys a TV, a radio, a motorcycle, etc. I asked around about TVs, and a black-and-white TV costs about 400 yuan."

When the price came out, Wu Weiyin fell silent.

She doesn't have that much money.

"Mom, don't worry. We can't afford a TV now, but in a month, as long as our business is good, I can afford it."

She calculated that based on her previous income, Lin Yunchu still had a month and a few days left before getting married, and she could earn enough money to buy a TV.

"I feel so embarrassed to use your money. Do you think I'm lending it to you?"

Wu Weiyin looked at her apologetically.

"Mom, we are one family and we should keep our differences. Why do I need your money? Consider this as my dowry for my sister-in-law when she gets married."

"But in addition to the TV, we also need to prepare other things, such as beds, cotton-padded jackets, and various things for the newlyweds."

"Leave all the new clothes to me, I'll take care of it. As for the new bed and other things, you'll have to find a cotton fluffer."

Gu Qiuhong started to make arrangements.

Wu Weiyin nodded immediately, "That's no problem."

After dinner, she went immediately to Old Wu’s house, where the cotton was picked.

"Old Wu, I'm here to order six quilts."

Wu Weiyin and Old Wu Dao, the cotton-picking man.

In rural marriages, the bed is usually made up of four or six quilts.

But Pei Huaiyuan's family is different. He has four children. When Lin Yunchu marries, she will need at least six quilts.

"My little girl is getting married on October 1st, please hurry up."

"Old Wu, I want to fluff six beds of cotton, too. I'll pay you now, and you'll fluff them for me now!"

Gong Cuiyun's voice rang out.

Then just give him ten big unity cards.

Old Wu, "..."

Wu Weiyin only gave a deposit of 20 yuan and looked at Old Wu with some concern.

"Oh, Aunt Wu, you are marrying off your daughter and you have to pay for her dowry yourself? Isn't your daughter quite capable? With this kind of treatment, I'm afraid she won't have a good life in her husband's family in the future, right?"

Lin Yunchu refused to give up the job of substitute teacher.

Whenever Gong Cuiyun thought of this, she became furious and wished she could tear his mouth apart.

This was a very difficult opportunity to ridicule her, and she didn't let it go.

"It's hilarious. I've never seen a family like this, so eager to marry off their daughter. I've never seen a man like this either, so ignorant!"

"But then again, who would be willing to marry their daughter to an old man with four children?"

"Unlike me, my partner's family only has one person, and both his parents are factory workers!"

After Gong Cuiyun couldn't find a job, she decided to marry a suitor who had been pursuing her.

When she heard that Wu Weiyin was coming to make quilts, she rushed over immediately.

She wants to do it too.

And she had to do it in front of Lin Yunchu.

When Lin Yunchu got married, she didn't have a quilt as a dowry, which was so funny.

"..." Wu Weiyin said angrily, "Cuiyun, my son-in-law has not offended you. You don't have to be so mean."

"Old Wu, we are all from the same family. No matter what we do, we always follow the principle of first come first served. Just tell me, should we serve our family first or her family first?"

Old Wu was embarrassed and said, "Then I will speed up the process, work overtime, and do it at night."

"..." Wu Weiyin knew his answer and said, "Then I'll find someone else to do it."

Looking at Wu Weiyin's angry back as she walked away, Gong Cuiyun showed a victorious smile on her face.

*

It was when Lin Yunchu heard the villagers talking about it that she learned that her mother, who was making quilts for Old Wu’s family, had suffered a loss at the hands of Gong Cuiyun.

Gong Cuiyun is too arrogant and too proud, it's impossible for others not to know about this.

"It's not that the Pei family has to raise four children, so how can they give the Gu family any money for the betrothal gift?"

"Aunt Wu doesn't have to be so anxious. She's marrying off her daughter, but she hasn't received any betrothal gifts. Why is she in such a hurry to make these things?"

"Isn't this just a waste of money? If she does that, the girl is worthless."

"We don't know what she was thinking. She wanted to be a stepmother to a girl who just came back from the city?"

Wu Weiyin was furious when she heard this. "How could Huaiyuan be as bad as you say? He did raise four children, but they are all very smart and sensible."

"Before getting married, the child has to pretend to be very smart and sensible. Once she gets married, her true colors will be revealed."

"..." Wu Weiyin was not very good at expressing herself, let alone how to refute. She was so angry that her teeth were chattering.

Liu Wanmei was very happy when she heard others talking about Pei Huaiyuan and Lin Yunchu's marriage.

It would be better for them to be laughed at like this all the time.

Because she knew that her mother-in-law had no money at all.

Pei Huaiyuan has been taking medicine all the time and has no money.

They just want to marry a wife for free.

Then let Lin Yunchu become the cheapest daughter-in-law and the most despicable stepmother in the entire Yanweikou.

See if they are still arrogant.

However, what she didn't expect was that as soon as Pei Huaiyuan came back that night, he discussed the date and gift with Pei's mother.

Also returning with him were various gifts for the bride price, including eight loads of millet, eighty kilograms of meat, ten chickens, ten ducks, ten pieces of cloth, sixty kilograms of cotton, eight beds with four sets of four pieces, a box of gold and silver jewelry, and a gift of money wrapped in red.

The gift money looks very generous, but no one knows how much is in it.

Liu Wanmei looked at the items that almost filled the entire yard and was extremely surprised. When did their Pei family become so rich?
