Chapter 38 Discussing the Dowry and Meeting Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang



If it was the first time he met Yuan Qin, Ye Han would definitely go to the kitchen to help her.

However, the previous unpleasant encounters made Ye Hanhan have no good impression of her at all.

Jiang Wang saw what she was thinking and suggested taking Ye Han around the staff quarters.

The environment here is pretty good. In early spring, many plants have begun to turn green, which is also a beautiful sight.

All the unhappiness in Ye Xuanhan's heart disappeared, and he chatted casually with Jiang Wang, feeling completely relaxed.

Ye Hanhan and Jiang Wang were taking a walk without a destination, and while they were walking around they ran into Zhou Siqi who had just returned from outside.

The first person the other person looked at was Jiang Wang, his eyes full of admiration, and then he rolled his eyes at Ye Han.

"Jiang Wang, are you back from the hospital?"

Zhou Siqi walked forward enthusiastically and wanted to greet Jiang Wang.

...

...

"Well," Jiang Wang obviously didn't want to pay attention to her, and pulled Ye Hanhan and prepared to leave.

God knows when Zhou Siqi saw the two holding hands, sparks were about to come out of her eyes, but thinking that she couldn't lose her image in front of Jiang Wang, she suppressed her jealousy and anger.

"Is Jiang Mei at home? I want to go find her later."

"have no idea."

Jiang Wang held Ye Han's hand and continued to walk forward.

Zhou Siqi behind him was so angry that she stamped her feet, but there was nothing she could do.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Jiang Wang and Ye Han returned home.

The table was laid out with food, including fish, meat and soup, which looked very sumptuous.

"Jiang Wang, Han Han, wash your hands and have dinner," Jiang Wu greeted the two.

Yuan Qin was sitting at the table, and when she saw Ye Yuhan, she pretended not to see him. Jiang Mei and Jiang Yu, the siblings, stood on their mother's side and ignored Ye Yuhan.

At the dinner table, only Jiang Wu was talking about Ye Xuanhan and Jiang Wang's marriage.

"I discussed this with Jiang Wang's grandparents a few days ago. They said that the tenth day of next month is a good day. You can hold the wedding at the Jiang family's old house then."

Ye Han nodded, "Everything is up to your arrangement.

"As for the betrothal gift, we plan to give you two thousand yuan, plus three turns and one ring. Do you think it's okay?"

Three turns and one ring was the highest standard of dowry in the 1970s, and Ye Han had some knowledge about it.

Moreover, the betrothal gift was actually two thousand yuan, which was much more than the one or two hundred yuan betrothal gifts of others.

Before Ye Xuanhan could express his doubts, Yuan Qin began to object.

"No, two thousand yuan is too much. If you give all the money to Ye Hanhan, what will our two remaining children eat and drink?"

"Isn't my monthly allowance of 80 yuan enough for you to spend?" Jiang Wu said angrily, "More than half of this money was paid by Jiang Wang. What's the point of you disagreeing? Even if you don't give it to Han as a betrothal gift, after we get married, it will still be hers and you won't get it no matter what."

Jiang Wang's expression was serious. "If you don't want my dad to pay, then you can take back the 500 yuan he paid as a betrothal gift, and I will make up for it myself."

Yuan Qin was frustrated and threw away her chopsticks, "I don't want to eat anymore, you guys can do whatever you want."

But she said she didn't want to eat, but her butt didn't move from the chair at all.

Ye Xuanhan just smiled and said nothing.

"Uncle Jiang, you are the one who makes the decision. My parents are dead, my second uncle has severed ties with me, and the other relatives in my family don't interact with me much, so I have to rely on you to preside over the wedding."

"Good boy, your father and I were once comrades-in-arms. Our family will definitely not treat you unfairly."

Yuan Qin moved her mouth and wanted to speak, but was glared back by Jiang Wu.

Everything went smoothly afterwards, and Ye Xuanhan and Jiang Wang's marriage was finally finalized.

At this time, Jiang Wang said, "Dad, after Han and I get married, we will temporarily live in Huaihua Brigade and will not trouble you."

Upon hearing this, the Jiang family members' expressions changed.

Yuan Qin smiled as if she had caught something on Ye Xuanhan, "Old Jiang, look at the wonderful wife you found for Jiang Wang. You even want our Jiang Wang to marry into the family."

Jiang Wu ignored her and waited for Jiang Wang to explain.

"Dad, Han is not used to the life here. Besides, she has lived in Huaihua Brigade for more than ten years. Her relatives and friends all live there. It may be difficult for her to adapt to the life here again.

I will continue to work hard on the missions, and once I am promoted to company level, I can let her join the army. In the meantime, I will let Han slowly adapt herself.ā€

Jiang Wu was silent for a while, and even Ye Hanhan felt that he was angry.

In fact, when she proposed to live in Huaihua Brigade after marriage, she just wanted to see how tolerant Jiang Wang was towards her.

She didn't expect that this fool actually took it to heart, which made her feel a little guilty.

"Uncle Jiang, I——"

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Wu smiled and said, "Hahaha, you are worthy of being my son, Jiang Wu. You are responsible and love your wife. You are very much like me when I was young."

"So you agree?"

"As long as you are not afraid of being gossiped about, everything will be fine," Jiang Wu smiled and patted Jiang Wang's shoulder. "By the way, go to the capital this afternoon to visit your grandparents and discuss this matter with them. They are both old, so be careful with your approach."

"I know, Dad."

Ye Xuanhan didn't expect things to go so smoothly. She was still in a daze until Jiang Wang sent her back to the guesthouse to change clothes.

"I was sent to my grandparents' house when I was little, and they treated me very well," Jiang Wang said, "so you don't have to be nervous this afternoon."

"What kind of clothes should I wear this afternoon?" Ye Han was a little excited as he was suddenly going to meet Jiang Wang's grandparents.

She could see that in Jiang Wang's heart, grandparents meant a lot to him.

Otherwise, Jiang Wu would not have specifically reminded Jiang Wang to discuss the matter with the old man.

Only now did she feel like she was meeting the parents.

"They will like whatever you wear," Jiang Wang said with a smile, "Don't be restrained then, they will definitely like you."

Ye Xuanhan's clothes were all placed in the space. There happened to be a light blue sweater, and a pair of black corduroy pants on the lower body, which was simple and generous.

It's early spring now, and the temperature is just right, so I put on a coat.

The two of them took a bus to the capital, and it only took an hour to reach Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang's home.

The two old people live in a courtyard house in the capital. Although the house is dilapidated, one can still vaguely see its former grandeur.

When the two old men saw Ye Xuanhan, they were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.

"Our Jiang Wang has finally come to his senses," Grandma Jiang grabbed Ye Han's hand, "My girl, Jiang Wang will be in your care from now on."

"Old woman, stop talking nonsense and go get the two children something to eat and drink. Don't let them just stand there. Come in and sit down."

Ye Xuanhan was warmly welcomed into the house. Grandma Jiang took out her treasured Pu'er tea and brewed a pot of tea for her. She also took out various preserved fruits, fruit candies, and cakes to entertain her.
