Chapter 398: Sky-high Bride Price

The next morning, Gu Chen and Xu Yima came to help take care of the children.

Han Jiaojiao followed Shen Junshan and his family to propose marriage.

It was still within the new year, and everyone wanted to make the event bigger, so almost the whole family went out. Sun Yong even put off his morning work and drove to Du Ling's house.

The two cars stopped one after the other, attracting the people playing around.

"What a big scene! What's going on? Are you visiting relatives?"

"I heard he came to propose marriage. Look at that fruit basket, it's so big, it must be worth a lot of money!"

"There are so many gift boxes. Her daughter has found a good family. She values ​​them so much!"

"You don't know him? He's Secretary Sun's family. His eldest son has been dating Gu Ruo for a long time!"

"Oh my god, I'm so lucky to be related to the secretary's family."

Everyone stretched their heads to look inside, most of them were watching the fun with smiles on their faces, some were envious and some were jealous, but their expressions were all okay.

There was only one person there. Han Jiaojiao felt a chill and turned around, only to meet the eyes of a woman with a bob haircut.

The woman also noticed Han Jiaojiao, snorted, and turned away breathlessly.

Han Jiaojiao pulled Shen Junshan: "Did you see that woman just now? Who was she?"

"I haven't been back many times, so I'm not familiar with the neighbors around here."

Shen Junshan only stayed at home for a few days, and the rest of the time he either stayed at Gu Chen's place or at his father-in-law's house.

I am not familiar with the neighbors around me.

Han Jiaojiao didn't ask any more questions and followed the group to the door.

Du Ling had been waiting at the gate for a long time, and Gu Youxin was also standing at the gate with a cane.

The maids were busy inside, and Gu Ruo and Gu Rou were also there.

Gu Ruo wanted to come out, but was hurried away by Du Ling.

In China, girls still have to be reserved. How could the girl run away happily when her husband's family comes to propose marriage?

Gu Ruo was lying at the door, smiling at Sun Quan.

Du Ling came up to him and said with a smile: "I've been waiting for you for a long time! I've been looking forward to it for a long time!"

"I didn't expect Jiaojiao to give birth. Old Gu, you see, I am the lucky one!"

"Humph, what's so great about having three grandchildren? They weren't born by you! I, my girl kidnapped your son, I'm pretty awesome too!"

Gu Youxin spoke much more fluently, and Sun Yong pouted softly.

"It was obviously my son who kidnapped your daughter, you old man, what nonsense are you talking about."

"Bullshit, my daughter kidnapped your son!"

"You're talking nonsense! Do you still want to hug your grandson? Let me tell you, grandsons are so cute..."

Su Yong began to instill in Gu Youxin the benefits of having grandchildren, and encouraged Gu Youxin to stand on his side and let the children give them grandchildren as soon as possible.

Du Ling laughed cheerfully and said, "Don't pay attention to them. They become less and less civilized as they get older! Dean, please come in soon. Xiao Shuang, please come in and sit down too. Your injury is not fully healed yet. Be careful of the cold wind outside that will blow on your head."

Tang Shuang was a little slow in his movements. After coming in, he took off his cotton coat and hat. He had a pair of bright-colored emerald earrings on his ears.

Except for Han Jiaojiao, everyone wore good jewelry. Only she was still breastfeeding and was too lazy to wear jewelry to dress herself up.

Du Ling hurriedly served tea and fruit to everyone, and Shen Junshan helped her.

"Mom, stop being busy. You're not a guest today."

"What do you mean you are not a guest? Once you come, you are a guest. How can you not even be offered a cup of tea when you enter the door? You are getting more and more unruly as you grow older. You don't consider yourself an outsider at all."

Shen Junshan nodded and accepted the scolding.

Yan Han smiled and said, "Indeed, there were no outsiders, and Junshan did nothing wrong."

"Just spoil this child! Come, try this tangerine, it's so sweet!"

When Du Ling sat down to peel the orange, Sun Yong took out the gift and handed it to Gu Ruo: "This is a little gift our family prepared for my daughter-in-law. The bracelet was prepared a long time ago. They are all old items. The gold was prepared for Xiao Quan a long time ago. Later, a pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets were added. See if you like it."

“It’s so beautiful!”

Gu Ruo's first reaction when receiving the gift was to open it and then express his love for it.

But this time she really liked it.

Each dragon and phoenix bracelet weighs about 35 grams and is very heavy.

Five kilograms of jewelry is quite heavy.

Gu Rou had attended so many weddings, but she had rarely seen such thick and dazzling gold jewelry.

"Sister, the only problem you're worried about when you get married is that the things are too heavy. You need to find a masseur to massage them after the wedding."

"Xiao Rou is right, this is so heavy, Uncle Sun, can I really accept it?"

"I prepared this for you. If you don't accept it, who will? Also, you can't call me Uncle Sun anymore. You need to practice calling me dad more!"

"Father-in-law!"

Gu Youxin took over the conversation. His mouth was a little crooked and he looked like he was pouting when he spoke.

Silly and a little cute.

Sun Yong rolled his eyes at him and said, "Call me father-in-law first, and then we can take it slow later."

Gu Ruo's face turned red, and Sun Quan was not much better.

The two of them sat next to each other, like a pair of steamed crabs.

"By the way, this is the list of betrothal gifts we prepared for the child. We'll deliver the other things later, so let's send the most important one first."

Tang Shuang opened the small bag he was carrying and took out a passbook from it.

"When Xiaoquan's parents were alive, they saved more than a thousand yuan. When they passed away, the company gave them five thousand yuan for funeral expenses, and later on, there was money for dealing with the house and other items, a total of seven thousand two hundred yuan is in there. In addition, we save one thousand yuan every year for him to marry a wife. It has been twenty-one years, and there are more than twenty thousand yuan. Adding up, it is almost thirty thousand yuan. Ruoruo, you take it first."

Tang Shuang handed the passbook to Gu Ruo.

Thirty thousand yuan, although it is not a lot for a family like theirs.

Especially compared with the money Shen Junshan and Han Jiaojiao got.

But Sun Quan felt warm in his heart, and his nose and eyes were sore.

He didn't expect that all the funeral expenses for his parents' death were left by them.

The funeral was a grand occasion, and the money was actually paid by the Sun family.

Sun Quan felt so grateful that he didn't know how to express his gratitude.

“And this.”

Tang Shuang took out another passbook.

"This is what grandma and grandpa gave to the children."

Yan Han took the passbook from Tang Shuang and said, "We used to have a lot of antiques at home, but something happened, as you all know. I divided some money into several parts to leave for the children to get married. Xixi and Xiaoquan both had a share. Xiaoyong also had a share, but the changes in the family were too big, so we discussed it and divided Xixi's share into three parts."

"One for Xiao Wen, one for An Lian, and one for Xiao Quan."

"Combine the original money with the money Xiaoyong and I saved for the younger generations. This money will serve as a fund for your future life."

Gu Ruo took the passbook and his eyes lit up.

Tens, hundreds, thousands, hundreds of thousands!

"One hundred thousand! How can there be so many?"
