Chapter 120
Gather together
That day, Shen Fubai and three others finished breakfast and were about to talk about the attractions they wanted to visit when their plans were interrupted by Wang Dazhu and Zhao Yuying.
"Commander Shen, we have had enough fun and eaten, and it is not a good idea to keep bothering you. Why don't we go to Lu's house, finalize the betrothal gift, and finalize the marriage between Ouhua and Commander Lu." Wang Dazhu said.
Hu Daquan also agreed.
He was quite optimistic about his son-in-law Lu Yuetang. After all, he came from a military family and his family came from that era. For Ouhua, he was a good destination.
My daughter married into a good family.
As a father, he feels most at ease.
"Okay, let's put it this way. I'll call Uncle Lu and discuss where it would be appropriate for us to meet." Shen Fubai agreed readily.
"Okay, okay."
The Wang couple were very happy.
When they thought about the huge sum of money that was within their grasp, they were spitting out saliva.
Hu Daquan looked calm.
He just wanted to settle the marriage as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary complications. Once the marriage was settled, he could go home and continue working.
Not long after, Shen Fubai came over and said to Hu Daquan with a smile: "Uncle, Uncle Lu asked us to go to Kyoto Hotel. His whole family will be there."
When Hu Daquan heard that it was such a big event, he was a little overwhelmed, his palms sweating as he said, "Don't bother, we can talk about it at home if we have anything to discuss."
Even if they were future in-laws, he always felt that it would be too much trouble for them and would bring shame to the girl.
Wang Dazhu and Zhao Yuying urged: "Okay, okay, let's go now. Don't keep people waiting for too long. That would be embarrassing."
The two men hurriedly got into the car, without caring about Hu Daquan's feelings at all.
Shen Fubai smiled and said to Hu Daquan, "Uncle, don't worry. Sister Ouhua and Yuetang will both be there. I'll pick them up after I send you there. Uncle Lu wants to hold the wedding earlier so you can attend it before leaving."
After attending the wedding...
That will take some time.
In Kyoto, food and lodging are all in guesthouses, how much does it cost?
He was short of money and could not bear it any longer.
With a lot of thoughts in his mind, he got into the car.
When the car arrived at the hotel, Shen Fubai led the three of them to the private room that the Lu family had booked in advance. Sitting in the room were Lu Jingjing, Jiang Ruolin, and Yang Jiaojiao...
They were discussing something and seemed very happy.
When the three of them arrived, they stood up and greeted them.
Wang Dazhu looked at them and his old face turned red.
The girls in Kyoto are all very elegant and pretty, much more outstanding than the young girls in the villages.
As he was watching, Zhao Yuying stepped hard on his foot, causing him to howl in pain.
As the three girls giggled, the Lu family arrived one after another.
Grandma Lu, Lu Baiting, Gu Wanru, and several uncles from the Lu family were also present. They gathered together to finalize the couple's marriage.
You can't let it happen again this time.
I can't afford to lose this person again.
After some greetings, Lu Baiting sat down first, with Hu Daquan sitting next to him. Next came Gu Wanru, and then Wang Dazhui and Zhao Yuying. The others sat down one by one.
Looking at the honest Hu Daquan, Grandma Lu found it hard to imagine how such a taciturn man could raise a girl as amazing as Hu Ouhua.
She made several compliments.
Hu Daquan waved his hands and said cautiously, "No, no, this is innate. I am a bad father and rarely pay attention to my children."
To the Lu family, his words were naturally humble and polite, and no one took them seriously.
Instead, Wang Dazhu immediately climbed up the pole.
He stood up and said with a smile: "Grandma Yuetang, you are right. Our sister has suffered a lot in training a girl and wasting the eldest son. When this daughter got married, she had no other requirements, but only wanted to buy a house for her parents and get a car..."
Zhao Yuying also joined in the conversation.
"Yes, yes, our sister Chunlan raised Ouhua single-handedly. It's really a great honor for her. If you like her, I'll set a price for her. Six thousand, how about that?" She opened her mouth loudly.
Six, six thousand?
All the Lu family members present were stunned. They really didn't expect that their family would raise the bride price so high!
Jiang Ruolin was displeased when she saw the couple and complained in a low voice: "Are you selling your daughter? Our sister Ouhua never mentioned this..."
The three thousand that the Song family asked for was already outrageous enough.
The news had already spread in the compound, but because of Lu Yuetang's health, everyone could understand it.
But these two people asked for six thousand right away, not including the three turns and one ring and the like. They were going to blow the Lu family up completely in one breath.
Wang Dazhu was immediately unhappy.
He stood up, pushed a chair, and said unhappily, "Why, is it easy for us to raise a young lady? She didn't grow up in luxury. Besides, she's still a college student and she's pretty. If you don't have the money to marry her, we can find someone else. We have the money to do so."
"That's right, why would you want a wife if you don't have money?" Zhao Yuying said with a sneer.
These words were merciless and did not give the Lu family any face at all.
The room was completely silent.
Gu Wanru, who was originally full of enthusiasm, also felt a little disappointed in her heart.
It's not that she was unwilling to pay the money. She just gritted her teeth and scraped together some money. It would certainly be enough. If she hadn't been thinking about buying a new house for the couple, she wouldn't have to worry about it at all.
Lu Baiting looked at the couple and asked, "Can you represent Ouhua's opinion? If she insists..."
"Wang Dazhu, Zhao Yuying, shut up!"
Hu Daquan couldn't help it.
He used to think that Wang Chunlan cheating on him was the most shameful thing, but he never thought there could be something even more shameless. This couple is really vicious.
A good lady was described by them as a greedy person.
As he spoke, he stood up and bowed to everyone present.
"I'm really sorry. I'm Ouhua's biological father. My Hu family has no requirements regarding the bride price. As long as you treat my daughter well, I won't ask for a penny." Hu Daquan said.
The people present were very suspicious.
They all thought that the three of them were one, but now it seems that is not entirely true.
I don't know if this is a retreat or a sincere one...
"Hu Daquan, you can't represent the Hu family. Who are you? Just a useless waste. It's all my sister's credit for raising the child. Do you have the nerve to stand up and represent her now? Shut up. I felt sorry for you before, but now it seems you are really stupid and bad. These six thousand are what my sister wanted. You can give it to her if you want. If not, we can take Ouhua away." Wang Dazhu said sternly.
Zhao Yuying sneered.
The three of them lived in the same house, but had different minds; this was destined to happen.
Even if we have to fall out today, we must get this money!
Not a penny less.
They were a little embarrassed before, but now they are determined.
