Rong Qing was giving Jiang Zimo a live instruction in a low voice:
"Tsk, tsk, she's really treating me like a fool. She actually has a lot of clothes. I don't know how many she has taken from me in the name of "borrowing". The problem is, she has never returned them once?
The dress she was wearing was not hers but that of Zhao Yingdi, who had the most sisters and was the least favored in the village. That sister really only had this one dress!
Besides, your uncle never mentioned buying clothes for your benefactor during the trip. She must have thought that she didn't want him to spend money. She looks very good in this outfit and is used to it. She wants to achieve this effect now."
Jiang Zimo felt like his cognition was shattered and reorganized. Is there any girl like this? There are too many dramas!
Grandma Jiang has met too many people, so she goes straight to the point:
"Third brother, why didn't you buy a piece of clothing for your savior during this trip? When did our family become so poor that we couldn't afford a piece of clothing? Or have you become stingy?"
Jiang Weiyi repeatedly waved his hands in denial:
"No, no, Mom, I didn't. Before we left, I suggested taking Ling'er to the department store in the county town, but she sternly refused, saying that she was used to the clothes she was wearing and didn't want me to spend money.
Before getting off the train and heading home, I mentioned it again. Ling'er felt that my legs weren't suitable for walking that long, so she wanted me to go home and recuperate first. It didn't matter if she wore her old clothes, she could just buy some when we got the marriage certificate.
Rong Qing started again:
"Tsk, listen to me, I already have the qualities of being simple and kind. The second time I acted like that, I told people directly, look how considerate I am and how I don't covet wealth. I'm being genuine and unpretentious."
If it weren't for Rong Qing's explanation, Jiang Zimo really didn't understand the true meaning of the words, but he felt that he was indeed a person with good qualities, simple and kind.
It sounds like it's all fabricated, so fake!
Rong Qing looked at him and couldn't help but give him more lessons:
"Remember this: if someone calls someone of the opposite sex "brother" all the time, you must stay away from him if you don't like him, because you might very well become one of his good brothers!
There are also those who shed tears before speaking, look like pear blossoms in the rain, and speak hesitantly, leaving the listeners confused. They are the little white flowers. They seem pure and unpretentious on the surface, but in fact they are the best at deceiving others..."
Rong Qing talked a lot and felt her mouth was dry. A cup of warm water was handed to her lips and she drank it down with a "dong dong dong".
"That's all for now. Next time, I'll teach you differently based on your situation. But remember this: you're a man with a partner. Stay away from all members of the opposite sex and refuse to show any kindness to them.
Don't even mention your savior or his sister. Your third uncle is a good example. Just wait and see, his future life will be very exciting."
Asking Rong Qing why he didn't help him, it was because he was not a good person, with a treacherous mind. He even had feelings for himself in his first life. Such a person is a perfect match for Chu Ling'er, disgusting!
He had to take precautions in advance, because soon, his so-called life-saving brother's good sister would come to ask for favors and care. Jiang Zimo said that he had received too much information at once, but he still had to firmly express his loyalty to his young wife:
"Well, I understand. Don't worry, Qing'er. I already have the best treasure. I will definitely be strict with myself and prevent any contact with the opposite sex."
Rong Qing: “…”
There's no need to be so formal, making it sound like a political declaration. Look at what you really are like. You really won't let the opposite sex get close to you. Weren't you one of them once?
Really avoid it like the plague and scorpion, and stay away from it.
Rong Qing suddenly teased him, "Do you still remember your attitude towards me before? That was really..."
Jiang Zimo immediately defended himself stubbornly: "No, that's not the case at all. Qing'er has always been the best."
Rong Qing did not continue but watched Chu Ling'er's show, only to see Jiang Weiyi stand up and hold her back:
"Ling'er, what are you doing? What you asked for is what you should do. It's my fault for not buying you a set of clothes. I'll let Aunt Liu go with you later." She turned to look at Grandma Jiang:
"Mom, take out 500 yuan from the money you saved for me and give it to Ling'er so she can buy some clothes this afternoon. As for the betrothal gift..."
He was suddenly troubled by the 'bride price' and had to ask Chu Ling'er for help: "Ling'er, how much do you think I should give you?"
Chu Linger's current situation is not as big as it will be in the future. She hasn't started thinking about pulling things into her arms yet. After all, she has just left the countryside. After thinking about it, she gave 500 yuan for buying clothes, so it is reasonable for the betrothal gift to be higher than this. She said tentatively:
"1,000 yuan, but if Brother Wei Yi wants more, 500 yuan is fine. This is already much more than what the village has. I'm very satisfied. You won't think I'm greedy, right?"
Rong Qing and Jiang Zimo whispered:
"Look, this is the art of speaking. If she hadn't just come from the countryside, once she saw the glamorous world of the big city and became more open-minded, and knew the price of betrothal gifts in Kyoto, she would have asked for double the amount."
Rong Qing took out 2,000 yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into his military uniform pocket:
"Yes, I'll double the betrothal gift for you. Spend it as you please."
Jiang Zimo really likes her more and more. She is always so quirky. He patted his pocket:
"Okay, thank you for being so generous Qing'er."
Grandma Jiang turned around and went to her room. After a while, she came back with two red envelopes in her hand and handed one to Chu Linger:
"This is our first meeting. Please accept this red envelope. Here is a total of 1,500 yuan. Please click on it. It's money for clothes and betrothal gifts."
Although she only asked for 1,000 yuan, Grandma Jiang also heard Grandpa Jiang talk about the relevant market conditions in the village where Grandma Rong lived, the amount of the betrothal gifts, and what kind of betrothal gifts there were.
Generally, the average betrothal gift is 88 yuan or 188 yuan. For those from the best families, who are talked about by the most outstanding talents, the betrothal gift is 300 yuan. But this girl is lucky. After coming to the big city, her value has tripled immediately in her heart. She is really calculating!
Another red envelope was handed to Rong Qing while she was sitting on the dining chair. She was a little confused. Why was she suddenly given another red envelope? And it looked thicker than Chu Ling'er's.
Grandma Jiang didn't say anything, and Rong Qing put it into Jiang Zimo's pocket. She just did it casually.
Jiang Zimo: "..."
My wife is so nice and generous. She is very open with me and even gives me grandma’s big red envelope. I must be super nice to her.
Rong Qing: “…”
Can you say that I did it conveniently? I was also deliberately trying to irritate Chu Ling'er. Didn't you see that she was staring at me? The jealousy in her eyes, tsk, she really didn't try to hide it.
But I also find it funny. If she knew the amount of her betrothal gift, she would be furious. It’s better not to tell her and keep a low profile.
"Gurgle gurgle..." Chu Ling'er's stomach growled at an inopportune moment, and Grandma Jiang politely greeted her:
"Come and eat something. You can't stand all the time. After you finish eating, let Xiao Liu accompany you to the department store to buy some nice clothes. You girls should dress up more, otherwise you will really waste your blooming youth."
Chu Linger looked at Rong Qing:
"Xiao Qing, can you go with me? I don't know anyone here, and you're the only good sister I know."
