The door opened, and Gao Ruoyun walked in: "You asked Zhong Rou to make this?"
Zhong Tingyue immediately shifted the blame: "I didn't."
"Then why did she hit Zhong Anliang?"
"Surprised?"
Gao Ruoyun thought for a moment and shook her head: "Not surprising."
Although Zhong Anliang is a few years older than Zhong Rou, the latter possesses martial arts skills that surpass those of ordinary people.
Moreover, Zhong Anliang's personality is similar to Zhong Ping's; he is unrestrained, carefree, and has done many bad things.
Gao Ruoyun picked up a comb, gathered her daughter's hair, and combed it from top to bottom in one smooth motion.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became somewhat heavy.
"Mother, I'm only engaged, not getting married. You can get ready for the wedding day later."
Gao Ruoyun smiled and said, "Get lost, I'm not sad about what happened to you."
"Sigh! Before long, you'll be someone else's daughter-in-law, and our family won't be able to accommodate you anymore."
"Even after I get married, I will still have the surname Zhong, and the house in Shanghai is already renovated. You can move in whenever you want."
Gao Ruoyun said, "Everything costs money in big cities, so it's more comfortable to stay in my hometown."
Suddenly, Zhong Tingyue took a small box out of the drawer and handed it to Gao Ruoyun, who asked, "What's this?"
"The bracelet you gave Chu Fang," Zhong Tingyue replied.
The bride price was agreed upon by both families: 6666, four 6s for good luck. Chu's mother also bought some hardware, and the Zhong family also needed to prepare a corresponding dowry, of which this bracelet was part of the dowry.
"That woman is really something. They had already discussed it, so why did she have to buy hardware? It just made her look bad," Gao Ruoyun complained to Chu's mother.
"Chu Fang's mother didn't have any bad intentions; she just hoped that Chu Fang would have a happy marriage."
“I know.” Gao Ruoyun nodded. “She doesn’t think before she speaks or acts, well, no, she’s just mindless. She acts on a whim. She should at least tell me after she buys something, right? I should also prepare the corresponding things.”
Gao Ruoyun was furious about Chu's mother's feudal superstitions, but sometimes she was amused by Chu's mother's naivety.
A while ago, the two mothers-in-law were playing mahjong on their phones. Chu's mother lost money, while Gao Ruoyun was winning. Chu's mother insisted that the feng shui of their seats was wrong and tried to change the seats. Then she lost money again and was so angry that she went crazy posting rotten tomatoes on the computer mahjong desktop.
Zhong Tingyue smiled.
She didn't tell her mother that Chu's mother had bought a jade bracelet worth millions as a family heirloom to pass down to her.
Zhong Tingyue considered buying something as a return gift, but after thinking about it, she realized she didn't have that much money—several million yuan—so she decided against it.
She was destined to owe Chu Fang a great deal in this lifetime.
I'll repay it in the next life.
Snap snap snap... ...
A crackling sound came from outside, and Gao Ruoyun's spirits lifted: "They've arrived."
"Let's go."
The mother and daughter left the house.
As soon as a convoy of cars arrived, the guests knew that the car had arrived and looked outside.
Zhong Rou tore the firecracker apart, placed the little blond boy next to it, and then lit it. With a series of crackling sounds, the little blond boy ran away quickly.
The guests present laughed.
Zhong Rou is incompetent.
As the sound of firecrackers gradually subsided, everyone saw the Chu family get out of the car.
"Wow, what a handsome young man."
"No wonder Xiaoyun is so satisfied. I am also very satisfied with this kind of son-in-law."
Wow, so handsome.
“... ..."
"Wow, so many people!" As soon as she got out of the car, Chu's mother waved and said, "Hello everyone."
Chu's mother is a "socialite" and is not afraid of such a scene at all. On the contrary, she enjoys it and has made so many good friends.
Ye Shan spotted Zhong Tingyue, her future sister-in-law, at a glance, and was instantly captivated by her beauty.
The simple white dress exuded an extraordinary feeling and temperament, as light and ethereal as a cloud, making her look like a fairy descended to earth, fresh and refined.
"Perhaps this is what it means to be naturally beautiful."
... ...
Yang Meina's mother looked at Chu Fang and nodded, "I'd be laughing in my sleep if I had a son-in-law like this."
Yang Meina leaned against the door and said listlessly, "Then you should dream more, old man. You can have anything in your dreams."
Suddenly feeling a chill down her back, Yang Meina forced a smile and said, "Hehe, Mom, I was just kidding."
"If your future husband has even half of Chu Fang's good qualities, I'll be incredibly lucky."
"What's so good about Chu Fang? You all praise him, but he's just a scoundrel..." Yang Meina pouted. "So what if he's a swordsman? You're not going to beat me up for calling him that, are you?"
She paused, then continued, "Besides, I might not even have a husband in the future. Maybe I'll be a wife. Who knows?"
"Huh? What do you mean?" Yang Meina's mother asked, puzzled.
Zhong Anliang explained, "What Sister Na means is that she wants to find a woman to marry, which means she's a lesbian."
Yang Meina's mother flew into a rage, her eyes blazing like the sun as she glared at her daughter: "How dare you!"
Yang Meina: "...Little brat, if you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."
Zhong Anliang is even more annoying than Zhong Rou.
"Hehe." Zhong Anliang revealed a row of white teeth.
... ...
The family members of both sides introduced themselves to each other, and then escorted the Chu family into the living room.
Despite Chu Ma's hostility towards Zhong Tingyue, she still had to admit, "This wicked woman is indeed beautiful; no wonder she's so infatuated with my darling."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the engagement ceremony began. The elders of both sides took their seats, and tea was served. They greeted each other and exchanged gifts.
Chu Fang received a bracelet, while Zhong Tingyue received a jade bangle personally purchased by Chu's mother.
When she handed the bracelet to Zhong Tingyue, she repeatedly instructed, "You must pass this bracelet down to your son. Tell him that it was bought by his grandmother, and also tell your son to pass it down as a family heirloom passed down from me."
Chu's mother repeated it several times.
This matter is very important to her, extremely important.
