Chapter 33 Yu Qing'er is a leaky little cotton jacket
The two of them were worrying about the betrothal gifts and dowry. Yu Qing'er knew nothing. She just did what she was supposed to do every day, drawing designs, hiding in the space to do maintenance, and then happily going on a date with Mo Hongshen.
It wasn't until eight days later that the two families met.
"Come, come, let me check you two." Bai Yu said solemnly. She decided how the whole family would dress that day.
"Yu Yaotian, fix your collar. It won't droop or what will it look like?" Bai Yu said with disdain and pushed him towards the mirror.
Yu Qing'er always dressed like a lady, with her half-long hair draped over her shoulders. As long as she didn't speak, she could still intimidate people.
Bai Yu took a closer look and found that the scar on Yu Qing'er's face was still visible, but it was much better than at the beginning, which surprised her.
"Baby, the scar on your face is becoming less and less noticeable!" Then he reminded her, "When you meet with your in-laws tomorrow and talk about some things, don't talk nonsense. Just listen, okay?"
Yu Qing'er felt very happy, thinking that she really had to get rid of this scar before getting married.
"What things?" Yu Qing'er was puzzled.
"Your dowry and the Mo family's betrothal gift are things that the adults want to discuss. You don't have to worry about them." Bai Yu said.
"Oh." Yu Qing'er nodded, not quite understanding.
Is it really necessary to be so entangled?
If you marry someone like Zhou Zheng, you will definitely be troubled. After all, the whole family is waiting to suck you dry with their bloody mouths wide open. If you are not careful, you may be sucked dry.
But the man she wants to marry is Mo Hongshen. He is not rich, but he is not to the extent of sucking their family's blood. There is not much difference in economic strength. Why is she still entangled in this situation?
After packing up, the three of them set off for Kaiyuan Teahouse with their gifts.
This is one of the best teahouses in the city. Mo Zhitian had booked a private room here in advance. Yu Yaotian told the waiter the room number, and someone led them there.
"Fortunately, we set off early, otherwise it would be so embarrassing to have people waiting for us..." Before Bai Yu finished speaking, the door of the box opened and the Mo family members were already seated inside.
This is earlier than they arrived?
"The in-laws are here, come and sit down!" Yin Xiaolan came over to greet them enthusiastically.
Yu Qing'er looked around and saw that only Mo Zhitian, Yin Xiaolan and Mo Hongshen were in the box. Her two brothers-in-law were not present this time.
She immediately ran to Mo Hongshen and got close to him.
Her mother said that all she had to do for the day was to be a beautiful girl and that she had no business doing anything else, so she just had to focus on pasting on the flowers.
"Is the food in this teahouse delicious?" Yu Qing'er asked with concern. Even a baby can't go hungry.
"It's delicious. We've already ordered the dishes in advance, and here's what you like." Mo Hongshen said, pulling out a chair for Yu Qing'er to sit next to him.
The four parents over there had already exchanged gifts and started chatting animatedly.
After everyone sat down and exchanged pleasantries, while waiting for the waiter to serve the food, the topic naturally fell on Yu Qing'er and Mo Hongshen's marriage.
"My dear relatives, regarding this betrothal gift issue..." Yu Yaotian had just started talking when Mo Zhitian quickly took the initiative to express his opinion.
"Yes, yes, this matter needs to be discussed in advance. I discussed the betrothal gift with my wife and we think we should give a good number for good luck." Mo Zhitian said.
Bai Yu's mind was working quickly, looking for good luck?
That would be 8, not 88, right? She definitely couldn't accept this number, so she had to negotiate towards 888, but wouldn't the other party think it was too much?
Just when she was hesitating, Yin Xiaolan spoke.
"We plan to give 1888. I wonder if you two in-laws think it's okay? If you are not satisfied, we can discuss it again. As my husband said, the main reason for choosing this number is for good luck." Yin Xiaolan said politely.
Bai Yu and Yu Yaotian looked at each other, 1888!
To be honest, this number was far more than they had imagined before, and it even made the worries that had kept them tossing and turning in bed these past few nights a joke.
It was completely unnecessary. The groom's family had prepared a generous betrothal gift and had no intention of being mean to their daughter. Moreover, this was before they publicly announced the dowry they had prepared.
"Okay, okay, I'm satisfied!" A smile appeared on Bai Yu's face.
This meeting started off in a happy direction.
"We have prepared the dowry carefully. After all, Qing'er is our only daughter, and we all hope that she will have a good life." Bai Yu said.
Yu Yaotian finally let go of his worries. Looking at his in-laws' attitude, he knew his initial judgment was correct. They were easy to communicate with, and they didn't mean to look down on Qing'er.
The so-called betrothal gift, after all, is just to see the other party's attitude. After all, if Yu Qing'er marries into the Mo family, the attitude of the Mo family will determine whether her future life will be smooth or not.
"These two children will definitely live separately after they get married. Do you two have any requirements for the new house?" Yin Xiaolan asked.
With Mo Hongshen's position, he will definitely be allocated a house in the military compound. This house would be nice as a wedding house.
"The house is for the two of them to live in. As long as the environment is good, we have no objection. When the time comes to renovate the new house and add furniture, we will also help them!" Bai Yu expressed his opinion.
While preparing for the wedding, they also have to take care of the new house. It is obviously impossible for these two young people to do it alone, so parents from both sides have to contribute.
"I'm not very busy, so I can help them with everything when the time comes!" said Yin Xiaolan.
"I have free time, so I must help. Xiao Mo is busy all the time, and he and Qing'er don't have much experience. We can discuss it together!" Bai Yu had the same idea.
The two sides were chatting animatedly, and the waiter slowly brought up the food and drinks.
But the four parents had no intention of stopping. They were still discussing the betrothal gifts, dowry, wedding date, wedding banquet and new house, and had no time to eat.
This made Yu Qing'er very upset.
"Mo Hongshen, how long will they talk?" Yu Qing'er was hungry. She hadn't eaten much breakfast the previous day and had been staying at home just to keep Bai Yu company.
It would be fine if the dishes hadn't been served yet, but now all the dishes were served, emitting an enticing aroma in front of her, how could she resist?
"Dad, Mom, uncle and aunt, how about we eat first and then discuss it slowly after eating?" Mo Hongshen interrupted them.
"If you're hungry, just eat by yourself first and don't make trouble..." Yin Xiaolan said without thinking, but when she saw her eldest daughter-in-law out of the corner of her eye, she quickly changed her words.
They said they would eat first, but the four parents didn’t even start eating. How could Mo Hongshen and Yu Qing’er dare to do that?
Especially Yu Qing'er, who had a pitiful expression on her face, staring at the food on the table, almost drooling.
"Come on, in-laws! Let's eat and talk at the same time. Don't let Qing'er starve!" Yin Xiaolan said.
