Shen Qiushu quarreled with Old Man Shen for a long time. Later, he was so angry that he turned around and ran away without even eating.
He wanted to go find Xiaoqin to ask for clarification. He would never believe that Xiaoqin would ask him for a 10-yuan betrothal gift.
Shen Qiushu jogged all the way, and when he arrived at Li's house, his clothes were all wet.
Panting heavily, he lay on the wall of Li's house, not caring to cover himself, and shouted directly: "Xiaoqin? Xiaoqin?"
The person who came out after hearing the noise was not Li Xiaoqin, but Zhang Guilan.
Although Zhang Guilan knew that her daughter was secretly getting along with the third son of the Shen family, she had never seen the third son in person. She frowned at the person climbing over the wall and asked, "Who are you?"
Uh, when Shen Qiushu saw that the person who came out was not Xiaoqin, he was stunned and wanted to secretly call the person out, but he was caught red-handed.
I could only stammer back, "Aunt, I...I am Chen Qiushu from Dongliang Village, I...I..."
He wanted to ask Xiaoqin to come out and speak, but he knew that this was simply not possible under the current circumstances and he might even get scolded.
But to Chen Qiushu's surprise, Zhang Guilan immediately put on a smiling face when she heard that it was her future son-in-law.
"Hey, Qiushu, what are you doing standing outside? Come in!"
This is her God of Wealth, and she must invite him home.
Chen Qiushu was a little overwhelmed by Zhang Guilan's enthusiasm and followed her into the house in a daze.
In the kitchen, Li Xiaoqin was washing the pot to prepare dinner.
But when she looked up, she saw that the person coming in was Shen Qiushu, and she was so scared that she almost threw away the spatula.
"You...why are you here?"
Especially, why did he enter the house?
Chen Qiushu wanted to pull Li Xiaoqin aside to ask what was going on, but since his future mother-in-law was around, he couldn't open his mouth.
But on second thought, I can just ask my mother-in-law directly about the bride price. If I ask Xiaoqin, Xiaoqin will have to communicate with her parents.
After entering the room, Li Jianbang was sitting on the kang and lying sideways.
When he opened his eyes, he saw a strange young man standing under the kang, looking at him a little stiffly, then turned to look at the old woman.
Zhang Guilan happily introduced the old man: "This is the boy from the Shen family, his name is Shen Qiushu."
After saying that, he turned around and said to Shen Qiushu: "This is your uncle."
Shen Qiushu nodded and bowed quickly, calling out, "Uncle."
Zhang Guilan asked him to sit down quickly, poured him a bowl of hot water, and sat beside him, looking at him with a smile: "Qiu Shu, what's the matter with you?"
Chen Qiushu held the bowl in both hands and grunted for a long time: "I...I came here to ask about the...the gift."
After saying that, I quickly lowered my head. It was the first time I formally faced my future mother-in-law, and I had to discuss the issue of the bride price. I felt a little embarrassed.
Li Jianbang frowned when he heard this: "Why are you asking? Where are your parents?"
When Shen Qiushu heard this, he lowered his head even more.
Now I regret my impulsiveness.
Zhang Guilan rolled her eyes at the old man and said, "Look at you, it doesn't matter who comes. I think Qiu Shu is better."
Then he turned around and said happily to Chen Qiushu: "The matchmaker told you when he got back, we don't ask for much, just 10 yuan, and you can marry Xiaoqin home."
When Chen Qiushu heard that it really cost 10 yuan, he didn't care about being embarrassed anymore. He looked up and discussed with Zhang Guilan in a worried manner: "Aunt, isn't this betrothal gift a bit too much? I... our family can't afford it, can it be less?"
Zhang Guilan's smiling face suddenly fell: "How can it be too much? Don't think I don't know that Zhaojiawan gave you 8 yuan as a betrothal gift?"
"Isn't it easy to get these 10 yuan? How is our Xiaoqin inferior to a madman? Don't you want to marry her? I tell you, if you don't marry her, there are many people who want to be our relatives!"
When Chen Qiushu heard someone trying to steal my girlfriend, he quickly stood up and said, "No, no, I will definitely marry Xiaoqin, it's just... it's just that my family really doesn't have that much money. The last time I collected the betrothal money, I gave it to my brother, and my eldest nephew is also looking for a wife."
"What?" Zhang Guilan got angry when she heard it.
The money is completely different in the hands of Shen Laosan's father and in the hands of his brothers!
"You just watched your father give the money to your brother? I don't care, the 10 yuan betrothal gift can't be less than a penny, otherwise don't even think about marrying our Xiaoqin."
When Chen Qiushu saw that his mother-in-law was angry, he was at a loss and stood there in a dilemma.
Seeing that the atmosphere was about to become tense, Li Jianbang quickly sent the old woman to cook: "Look at you, why are you so impatient? Go cook!"
Zhang Guilan glanced at him angrily. Seeing the money that was about to be in her hands flying away, how could she not be anxious?
Li Jianbang pretended to be annoyed and waved his hands. After sending the old woman away, he smiled and waved to Shen Qiushu: "Don't stand, sit down, just treat it as your own home!"
"I haven't seen you before, I just heard Xiaoqin mention you. I saw you today, and you really are a good guy."
"Don't worry, I fully support your relationship, but as someone who has been through this, I want to tell you something from the bottom of my heart. A man should be able to manage the family and the business."
"Whether there is a division or not, you have to have some money in your hands, so that you can overcome some obstacles, right?"
"Also, the most important thing in a man's life is to marry a good wife. As the saying goes, if your father is a bad one, your mother will be a bad one, and it will be difficult to find a good wife in your lifetime."
"You and Xiaoqin, one is handsome and the other is thrifty, you are really a match made in heaven. It would be a pity if it didn't work out for other reasons."
Li Jianbang slowly and leisurely explained the truth to Shen Qiushu, and Shen Qiushu's eyes were filled with tears.
Old Man Shen at home had never spoken to him as calmly as he did today, and his father always frowned and glared at him.
"Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely treat Xiaoqin well. I have chosen her for my whole life."
Chen Qiushu made a solemn promise to Li Jianbang, almost swearing to heaven.
"Okay, okay, okay, I can see that you are right. It's getting late, and our two families are planning a marriage, so it's not appropriate for you to stay at home for dinner. Go back quickly, or you won't be able to see the road clearly."
Li Jianbang personally stood up and escorted Shen Qiushu out the door.
Looking at the young man's strong back, he went back into the house with a smile.
Zhang Guilan wiped the water on her hands on the hem of her clothes and followed Li Jianbang, mumbling: "What should we do? Can the Shen family still come up with 10 yuan?"
Li Jianbang looked back at her and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? We have only just started. 10 yuan is indeed not a small amount. Let the Shen family discuss it first!"
Zhang Guilan was anxious when she saw his unhurried attitude: "What if they can't produce it in the end? Will they get married or not?"
At this time, Li Xiaoqin was also standing at the door, looking at Li Jianbang eagerly. This was concerning her lifelong event, so she had to pay attention to it.
