Bai Yu and Yu Yaotian were just waiting for their daughter to come back. They couldn't feel at ease until they asked about the situation.
"It's fine. They all like me very much." Yu Qing'er said, especially Mo Hongshen's mother Yin Xiaolan, who said many times that she liked her. She was not bragging.
"By the way, Mom and Dad, you will meet your uncle and aunt in about ten days. The specific location has not been decided yet. Let's call and discuss it later." Yu Qing'er said.
This step means that good things are about to happen.
Two days later, Mo Zhitian called personally and discussed with Yu Yaotian the time for the two families to meet, and finally decided to meet at Kaiyuan Teahouse.
"Okay, okay, my dear relatives, see you soon!" Yu Yaotian and Mo Zhitian were chatting happily, at least that was how Yu Qing'er, who was watching, felt.
After hanging up the phone, Yu Yaotian explained to Bai Yu.
"Wife, eight days later, we will meet Xiao Mo's parents at Kaiyuan Teahouse."
"Okay, then we have to get ready." Bai Yu said with a serious expression.
Yu Qing'er rarely sees her mother with such a serious expression. It is because this meeting is a big event, a big event in Yu Qing'er's life.
Both sides of the parents must make preparations. When meeting the in-laws for the first time, no one wants to give gifts to the other party. In addition to dressing up well, they also have to prepare suitable gifts for the other party.
These are not the most critical factors. After all, the family conditions on both sides are not bad. Dressing up and preparing gifts will not be difficult as long as the economic foundation is strong.
What is really difficult is what to discuss on the day of the meeting.
Yu Yaotian was just about to discuss the matter with his wife when Bai Yu winked at him frantically and ignored him.
"Qing'er, it's getting late, you should go and rest." Bai Yu said.
"Oh." Yu Qing'er didn't think much about it. She had been drawing designs at home all day. She kept sitting in that posture and felt like her shoulders, neck, and tailbone didn't belong to her.
You have to go to bed and rest early, otherwise you will be exhausted.
"Dad, Mom, you should go to bed early too." Yu Qing'er said sweetly and returned to the bedroom.
Bai Yu then pulled Yu Yaotian back to the bedroom to discuss the follow-up of the previous phone call.
"When we meet later, we will definitely have to discuss the issues of betrothal gifts and dowries. We have to think about it in advance. What should we do if communication is not smooth later?" Bai Yu said in a low voice.
"It shouldn't be that serious..." Yu Yaotian was also worried, but not as pessimistic as Bai Yu.
Especially after talking with Mo Zhitian just now, he felt that the other party was okay in communication.
"Keep your voice down! I almost said it in front of Qing'er just now. Don't let her hear it." Bai Yu reminded.
Bai Yu specifically pulled her husband into the bedroom to discuss the matter, and urged Yu Qing'er to go to bed, just because she didn't want her to know about the betrothal gift and dowry.
During the marriage negotiation stage, discussing the betrothal gift and dowry is the part where problems are most likely to arise.
"What if the Mo family doesn't want to give a betrothal gift?" Bai Yu asked. This was her biggest worry. "If Qing'er knew, she would be so sad. Besides, we've prepared a lot of dowry for Qing'er. If they don't give a betrothal gift, Qing'er will be at a huge disadvantage!"
Many men's families marry women just to have children.
But Yu Qing'er can't give birth, so in the Mo family she may be a hen that can't lay eggs. In simple terms, she is worthless.
Who would be willing to pay a bride price for someone who has no value?
"Didn't they say Xiao Mo is not capable either? The issue of having a baby can't be blamed on Qing'er." Yu Yaotian said. Although he was more optimistic than Bai Yu, the smile disappeared from his face after talking about it.
Yu Qing'er has said many times that she likes Mo Hongshen very much. If they fail to reach an agreement and the marriage falls through, how sad will her daughter be?
After finally seeing their daughter become much more cheerful, Bai Yu and Yu Yaotian were reluctant to see her return to her former depressed and suicidal self.
"Wife, are we thinking too much?" Yu Yaotian said after hesitating. He had just talked to Mo Zhitian on the phone, and he really felt that it was easy to communicate with this in-law, and they were not unreasonable.
"It's not a question of thinking more or less. We have to prepare for various situations in advance and think of coping strategies. Otherwise, if we go to the teahouse and get killed by surprise, we will be at a disadvantage!" Bai Yu said.
Businessmen are like this, never fight a battle without preparation.
The routes of advance and retreat are all well designed. Even if various situations occur at the time, they can deal with them easily. The only thing they are afraid of is unexpected situations.
Yu Yaotian nodded, thinking that what his wife said made sense, and began to analyze it carefully with her.
"I think there are two situations, give or not. If they give, that's a good thing, no matter how much or how little. There's still room for negotiation on the number. What we're afraid of is that they won't give!" Yu Yaotian said.
"Yes, that's what I mean. So we can make our attitude clear at the beginning. We will definitely give the betrothal money to Qing'er. She will keep it after marriage, and it will be used for her and Xiaomo's small family in the future. We will not withhold the money." This is not Bai Yu's expedient measure. This is what she has always thought.
The Yu family was in business and financially comfortable. Yu Qing'er had never suffered any material loss since she was a child, so she never cared about the betrothal money.
"This young couple will definitely live separately after they get married. They need money to live on. I think we can negotiate. As long as we don't hold back on the betrothal money, there's no reason for the in-laws not to give it! We can talk to them later and try to get them to give more. This way, they won't seem to care about Qing'er!" Yu Yaotian said.
"It all depends on our mouths!" Bai Yu said, thinking that he had to practice his speaking skills.
