An Wanwan and An Miaomiao were top ten thieves from a renowned thief guild in modern times. One fateful day, they transmigrated and became not just best friends, but sisters. They also gained sever...
The words were spoken.
Bai Mengmeng continued speaking in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft.
"It wasn't easy for you to raise Miaomiao, so we plan to give her a dowry of 60,000 taels of gold, plus 12 dan of dowry cakes and 10 kinds of seafood, including abalone, sea cucumber, shark fin, fish maw, dried oysters, scallops, shiitake mushrooms, dried shrimp, squid, and yellow croaker, 200 catties of each..."
She hadn't finished speaking.
Su Yueniang was no longer calm: "This, this is too much."
"that is."
An Dafu echoed.
Upon hearing this...
Bai Mengmeng chuckled and said, "It is a lot, but your Miaomiao is worth it. In addition to what I mentioned earlier, there are also three kinds of sacrificial animals, a big fish, coconuts, wine, four kinds of dried fruit, fresh fruit, four kinds of sugar, and tea. I have already had my Ying'er write down a list, so I won't go into details here."
That's all.
Before she could speak.
Nangong Ying then took out the gift list she carried with her and handed it to An Dafu to look at.
An Dafu glanced at it and said, "This is too much..."
Bai Mengmeng waved her hand: "Not much, not much, as long as you like it."
Xiao Yun watched from the side, feeling extremely angry. If it weren't for his daughter's insistence on breaking off the engagement with Nangong Ying, they would be the ones receiving all the betrothal gifts and other things now.
Bai Mengmeng seemed not to notice, and continued to talk to Su Yueniang and the others with a smile on her face.
We chatted for a while.
Bai Mengmeng looked at An Miaomiao and asked, "Miaomiao, do you have any opinions on the betrothal gifts? If so, say so now, and we'll do as you say."
An Miaomiao shook her head and said, "Auntie, I have no objection to the betrothal gifts, but I have something to say: I will not marry Nangong Ying so soon. After we get married, I will not stay at home to be a wife and mother."
"What!"
Lian's voice suddenly rose in pitch.
Nangong Zhengde said, "Why are you making such a fuss? It's not like you're getting married."
"She's my granddaughter-in-law, can't I say anything about it?"
The Lian family was unhappy with what Nangong Zhengde said.
Nangong Ying chimed in, "Grandma, I know Miaomiao doesn't want to get married like that. Besides, didn't I tell you about this before we came?"
The Lian family was aware of this, but they disagreed from the start.
"You two are not young anymore, why are you dragging this out? After you get married, instead of staying home to be a wife and mother, what does she want to do? What kind of wife is like her?"
It should be as she said.
But An Miaomiao had her own plans.
An Miaomiao calmly replied, "I don't know what others are like. I am who I am. Why should I be like others? Grandma, if you think I'm not good enough for your grandson, then you should go back to where you came from!"
"Miaomiao, how dare you talk like that?"
Su Yueniang gave her a reproachful look.
An Dafu didn't say anything.
Lian said angrily, "You little brat, you're quite fierce. I'm Nangong Ying's grandmother, your elder!"
"You're only just realizing this? It's not like I'm being this fierce for the first time! If you don't believe me, ask your grandson."
An Miaomiao raised an eyebrow.
Lian wanted to say something more to her.
Nangong Ying spoke up: "Grandma, do you want me to never get married in my life, or perhaps find you a grandson-in-law? If that's what you're thinking, then please continue..."
Lian immediately shut his mouth.
Who is she doing all this for? She's really forgotten her grandmother now that she has a wife. She can't even say a few words to her.
"Father, Mother, we're back!"
Xiahou Meng's voice came from outside. A moment later, she and An Cheng walked in one after the other, with An Ke following behind them.
"Father, Mother, this is An Cheng."
