Sitting on the edge of the bed, Li Wenhui's tears were already streaming down her face.

Because of her carelessness, she put her parents in a difficult position, and most importantly, others will think that her family is not satisfied with this son-in-law.

Sigh, Wang Yueyue didn't bother to comfort her. She put one hand on her waist, opened the door, and went out.

When Ding's parents, Li Qin, Wang Ziwen, and the others heard this, they were all a little flustered. Good heavens, they hadn't been prepared for such a big thing at all, so they rushed over here.

"Huihui is such a spoiled brat, she didn't even tell us about something this important beforehand."

"Alright, what's the use of talking about this now? Let's go see how to make this matter go smoothly."

Wang Ziwen tugged at Li Qin's sleeve, indicating that now was not the time to talk about this.

Ding Qiunan saw her parents, sister, and brother-in-law coming over, so she came out of the living room.

"Sister, Jiayuan hasn't left yet, has she?"

"No, the baby is asleep. She'll come over after she puts the baby down."

"Sis, why don't you go to the department store with Jiayuan and buy Shenyi a couple of outfits? You know the sizes, right?"

"That's about it. Is there anything else I need to buy?"

"Buy two more pairs of leather shoes, size 26, a good pack of tea, and two pounds of cake. We still have cigarettes and alcohol at home."

As she spoke, she took out a wad of cash and tickets from her pocket and handed them over. Li Qin didn't stand on ceremony and accepted them directly.

"What about lunch?"

"Wenxuan has already driven to Da Mao's restaurant. Ask them to prepare another table and deliver it over at noon."

"That's fine, I'll go get Jiayuan now."

"Sis, thank you for your hard work!"

"Is that enough?"

"Brother-in-law, you and Dad, please sit in the living room and chat for a while."

"Okay," Wang Ziwen nodded, then turned to Ding's father and said, "Uncle Ding, let's go inside and chat."

"Haha, great!"

"Qiu Nan, what am I doing?" Ding's mother asked anxiously.

"Mom, do you still have any red paper over there?"

"Yes, there are quite a few."

"Then bring it over, let's make some red envelopes, we still need to give money to the people who came to our door today."

"Okay, I'll go get it right away."

After Ding's mother left, Ding Qiunan glanced back at the living room, then stormed angrily toward Wenhui's room.

She was furious; her family had almost embarrassed themselves out of the world today.

Luckily, we always have plenty of things like melon seeds, peanuts, and candy at home, so we can just bring them out when guests come. Otherwise, what would it look like if the groom came to our house and we didn't even have anything to offer our guests?

If someone feels slighted, they can just turn around and leave, and you can't say anything about it.

If it were just the Shen family, it wouldn't be a big problem. The key issue is that Shen Yi's uncle brought several children to give gifts.

Li Wenhui was still sitting there crying inside, and Wang Yueyue didn't know how to comfort her.

Hearing the door open and seeing her mother-in-law walk in with a dark face, she felt a wave of unease.

Li Wenhui looked up and saw her mother come in. She quickly stood up and admitted her mistake.

"Mom, I'm so sorry, I really didn't expect this..."

Ding Qiunan didn't want to listen to a word her daughter said at this moment, and poked her forehead with her hand: "I think you've gone stupid from reading too much. You don't even understand a little bit of human relationships. Didn't Shen Yi tell you who's coming today?"

"I said it!"

"Why didn't you tell us beforehand? Even if you forgot, why didn't you make it clear when you said it this morning? Even if you didn't know that they were coming to propose marriage today, as the host, shouldn't you treat the guests well?"

"You brat, you're going to drive me crazy! Your dad spoils you rotten; you can't even tell the difference between big and small things."

"Mom, I'm sorry!"

"What good is saying sorry now?" Ding Qiunan was so angry that she swore.

"Alright, alright, Qiu Nan, let's not talk about the children now. Let's take good care of our guests first before we talk about anything else."

Aunt Ding came in with a red paper in her hand.

"How many people are here? Let's wrap up the red envelopes first."

"This brat is making me so angry my head hurts. Mom, let me think about it."

“Shen Yi’s uncle brought four children, so this is five. Then there’s Shen Yi and the witnesses, so that’s seven red envelopes in total. Shen Jun doesn’t need to give one. Shen Yi’s should be bigger.”

Ding's mother sat down in a chair and asked, "How much are you planning to spend on this?"

"Ten yuan for each bag, as for Shen Yi's, the betrothal gift he brought was two thousand yuan. Li Chu just quietly told me to give Shen Yi a bag for one thousand and one yuan, meaning that he is one in a thousand."

"One in a thousand? One thousand and one yuan?" Ding's mother was a little stunned when she heard this number. She muttered to herself for a while before smiling and saying, "This is good, this is good. I remember that was the same number when we gave Yueyue her betrothal last year, right?"

"Ah? Oh, yes, Grandma." It was only then that Wang Yueyue realized that there was a discussion about the dowry when they were betrothed to their family last year.

Her parents were puzzled at the time, wondering why the betrothal money was given in whole and odd amounts. It turned out that the numbers had a symbolic meaning.

"Alright, Qiu Nan, where are the scissors? Let's get them ready."

"Li Wenhui, what are you standing there for? Take out the scissors!" Seeing her daughter Ding Qiunan made her furious. In all these years, she had never been so embarrassed as she was today.

...

The meal was a pleasant one for both host and guests. Although it was a bit chaotic at the beginning, it was eventually managed to be handled smoothly, and the result was quite good.

After dinner, Li Chu asked Wenxuan to drive Shen Yi's uncle and his family away first. Shen Jun's leader also left because he had his own car. As for Shen's father and son, they hadn't left yet.

After seeing the guests off, Shen Yi had just entered the living room when he admitted his mistake.

"Uncle Li, it's all my fault for not explaining things clearly to Huihui. I'm here today to present the betrothal gifts."

Li Chu sat on the sofa and refilled the teacup in front of Shen Jun, then looked at Shen Yi and his daughter who was standing beside him with her head down.

"Sigh, Xiao Yi, you shouldn't take all the blame on yourself. Whoever is at fault should take responsibility."

After saying that, he turned to Shen Jun and said, "My dear in-law, I'm sorry you had to laugh at me today."

"Why bring this up? We're all family here." Shen Jun waved his hand dismissively. "Don't talk about the kids. If my dad hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have even thought about the betrothal gifts. I was just thinking of inviting you all out for a chat before the kids' wedding."

"Let's not talk about that. How are you feeling since you got here?"

Seeing that his father-in-law was talking about something else with his father, Shen Yi quietly tugged at Li Wenhui's hand, signaling her to go outside to talk.

"Shen Yi, I'm sorry, I almost messed things up." As soon as she stepped out of the living room, Li Wenhui quickly apologized to her boyfriend.

"Hey, nothing's wrong here at home. It's just that Uncle seems to be still angry. By the way, where's Aunt Ding?"

"It should be in Wenxuan's room up ahead."

"Come on, take me over to apologize to Aunt Ding."
