Chapter 134 Calm down, I was just telling the truth.

Zhou Hao quickly moved the car.

Zhang Kai and his companion quickly got into the car and disappeared without a trace.

The uncle sighed and hurried to the car to call the bodyguard.

"Young man, come down and eat."

Zhou Hao: "I'm not hungry. I ate before I came. You guys go ahead and eat."

The older man protested, "How can you not eat! Hurry up, or I'll bring it to you."

Zhou Hao: ...

Bo Wei came out and said with a smile, "Assistant Zhou, come inside for dinner."

This man was Li He's bodyguard and driver, and he was always by Li He's side, so they were acquaintances.

She didn't know what to call her family, but every time she saw her before, she would just nod and smile politely.

"Miss Bo, I'm really not hungry yet, you guys go and eat." When he spoke to Bo Wei, his attitude was naturally much more polite.

Bo Wei: "This is my home. Since you're here, you should at least have a meal. Come on, or I'll have your CEO, Mr. Li, come and invite you in personally."

bodyguard:……

The three of them went back into the house, and everyone looked at them, calling out, "Come on, come on!"

Bo Wei sat down again next to Li He. She glanced at the dishes on the table and felt a little awkward.

Zhao Shulan glanced at Li He apologetically, "I didn't know things would turn out this way today. Oh dear, I didn't prepare much food, and it's too late to make more now, so we'll just have to make do."

The uncle quickly smoothed things over, saying, "Let's eat. What are you doing just looking? Mao, our Bo family is just an ordinary family. We don't care about formalities. Please order whatever you like."

Li He nodded. "You're too kind."

Everyone was very polite, but Bo Wei was the first to pick up her chopsticks. She picked up a few pieces of cured meat, a few slices of dried bamboo shoots, a few pieces of tofu, and some stir-fried pork with green peppers, piling them all into her bowl.

She was busy, and no one touched their chopsticks; they all watched her silently.

Zhao Shulan realized what was happening and said unhappily, "Weiwei, who is like you?"

Bo Wei glanced at everyone, feigning embarrassment, and said, "I'm hungry."

As she spoke, she placed a bowl of food in front of Li He and whispered in his ear, "Eat some, taste it. They haven't even touched their chopsticks yet."

Li He's lips curled up. "Mm."

Everyone: ...

This is?

Are you worried that they might have picked it up with chopsticks and it might be saliva on it?

Rich people are really particular.

The uncle hesitated and said, "How about we get two pairs of serving chopsticks? People in big cities are more particular about these things. We didn't pay attention to that."

Everyone fell silent, looking at each other.

Bo Wei waved her hand, "Uncle, you all eat. He's not that picky; he's just hungry."

Li He picked up the bowl, tasted the simple rural dishes, and experienced Bo Wei's life.

"I heard from this Brother Zhou that you own a big company. What kind of business do you mainly run?" Uncle asked Li He while eating.

People here are used to discussing business over meals.

Li He put down his chopsticks and said, "It involves a wide range of areas, including financial investment, real estate development, and new energy."

Everyone paused, thinking, "This is a real big boss!"

These words alone are intimidating enough!

After the meal.

A room full of people sat in the main room.

My uncle still took on the heavy responsibility.

“Weiwei’s father is not home. As her uncle, since he has come to propose marriage, I am entitled to say a few words.”

Everyone fell silent.

He continued, saying to Li He, "Although we are from the countryside, we are very open-minded. We advocate free love, and our attitude towards you two is to offer our blessings. I wonder what the attitude is on your family's side?"

Li He: "I can make all the decisions about my own affairs. My family likes Weiwei very much."

Bo Wei: ...

Upon hearing this, everyone smiled with relief.

"That's good. Since you've come to propose marriage, I have to say a few words. According to our rural customs, the groom's parents should come along to show their sincerity. Also, they should discuss with us in advance and choose an auspicious day. If you don't do this properly, people will laugh at my family."

Li He nodded, "It was indeed my fault. My parents live abroad most of the year, and the trip was so rushed that I didn't contact them to come along. As for a good day, National Day is a good one."

When the uncle heard that the person's parents were abroad, he immediately understood.

“It wasn’t easy for our Bo family to raise a daughter. Although we don’t advocate dowries now, they are still a form of security for Weiwei. We will still make our demands, so please don’t mind if we’re being blunt.”

Li He nodded, "A bride price is appropriate. After all, once she marries into my family, she will be one of us. I originally prepared 500,000 for the bride price."

He paused for a moment.

Five hundred thousand!

Everyone was very satisfied with what they heard.

"but……"

Everyone looked at him silently.

“Weiwei was sick before, and it just so happened that she spent 500,000 yuan. I’ll consider this 500,000 yuan as an advance dowry.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Shulan's face immediately darkened. She looked at Bo Wei and asked, "When did you get sick and spend 500,000 yuan?"

Bo Wei thought her heart was calm, but it still felt cold. Her first concern was how much money had been spent.

How could this woman be so cruel?

"Have you forgotten? I told you before that you called those doctors quacks, saying they were all lying and trying to scam money."

Zhao Shulan's face stiffened. "Didn't I send you medicine and you got better after taking it? I specially asked Dr. Zhang to get the herbs; they're very effective."

Bo Wei gave a mocking laugh and said coldly, "If I had eaten your meager herbs, the grass on my grave would be several meters tall by now."

Zhao Shulan still felt a little sad when she thought of that scene.

After all, she is her daughter. Although she has not raised her personally much since she was a child, she has been taking care of her herself until she was three years old.

But she is the pillar of this family, and the whole family depends on her to maintain it, so she has to think about the family.

"How come we didn't know about this?" The aunt looked at her niece with heartache. She knew her mother was biased, but she didn't expect it to be this outrageous.

Auntie also said, "That's right, why didn't they tell us to go to the hospital? It cost 500,000 yuan to cure an illness, it must be something serious."

Zhao Shulan sensed the reproach in their words and felt a surge of anger. "You're sick, can't you just say so properly? Besides, what kind of illness costs 500,000 yuan? Isn't it all reimbursed now? Didn't you get it reimbursed?"

Bo Wei's heart sank completely, and she lowered her head.

Li He: "The medicines and equipment used were all imported from abroad, and even after reimbursement, it still cost nearly 500,000 yuan. Judging from the aunt's tone, is she blaming Weiwei for spending money on her illness?"

"Why should I blame her for being sick? It's just that she's unlucky, an ordinary person with a rich person's disease. If she had taken those herbal medicines a few more times, I don't believe it wouldn't have cured her. Why did she have to spend so much money on foreign medicine? I think she has money but no good use for it."

Li He's eyes were somewhat cold. "Is that so? In the future, when you get old and sick, Weiwei will also get some herbs for you from the mountain."

Zhao Shulan's face darkened; she no longer found this "golden son-in-law" pleasing to the eye.

"Who do you think you are, and what gives you the right to say such things in my house!"

Li He: "Auntie kept emphasizing that Weiwei's illness shouldn't cost money. Does she think her daughter's life doesn't matter? It's rare to see such a heartless person like Auntie in today's society. She'll get spitted on if she posts about it online."

Bo Wei lowered her head, and suddenly someone grabbed her hand.

These hands are big and warm.

It's as if he's saying that with him around, everything will be fine.

Bo Wei's cold heart began to warm up a little.

Zhao Shulan was furious, her face contorted with rage. "You! Get out! There's nothing more to say about today. Our family can't afford to mess with someone like you! And our daughter will never marry into your family!"

Li He remained unmoved.

"Auntie, please calm down. I'm just telling the truth."

Zhao Shulan: ...

Uncle and others: ...
