Chapter 113: Make up the Difference
But Gu Ci cheated his father without any discussion: "If you can't bear to part with it, then give me all my mother's things..."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Gu Haihua was afraid that his words would be heard by outsiders.
My late wife liked calligraphy and paintings and gold and jade jewelry. When she got married, her dowry included many such good things.
The main reason was that the Chu family at that time had the family fortune left by their ancestors, so they were not short of these things.
Even though the Chu family was dissatisfied with Gu Haihua later, they never mentioned taking back their daughter's dowry.
This is naturally because he couldn't bear to see his grandson Gu Ci being caught in the middle and having a hard time.
Another thing is that my daughter-in-law's family is also very wealthy, and the dowry includes cars, villas and servants.
They really had no shortage of dowry for their daughter, so they thought that after Gu Ci got married, they would just ask Gu Haihua to give those things to their grandson's wife.
But Gu Haihua gave away a lot of calligraphy and paintings in the past few years, which is why he was able to make smooth progress step by step and stand out and be selected for training and study.
Now that Gu Haihua heard his son talking about this, how could he not feel panicked?
Of course, these things cannot be traded openly now. If people knew that he had these at home, he would be labeled as a rich man and would follow in the footsteps of his Yue family.
Gu Haihua immediately interrupted Gu Ci and said, "I'll remit the money and tickets to you in a few days."
Gu Ci was worried that something might happen if time went on for a long time, so he immediately said, "I believe in your ability, you can send it to me the day after tomorrow."
"I can't delay here."
Gu Ci knew very well that unless the money and tickets were in his hands, they were not his.
He was even more worried that over time, his future father-in-law or Chu Hong would change their minds.
He wanted to strike while the iron was hot and settle the marriage first so that he could feel at ease.
But Gu Haihua misunderstood. As a doctor, his first reaction was to suspect that Gu Ci had caused a death, which was why the woman demanded a high price for the bride price.
He took a deep breath and said angrily, "Alright, I'll count it as what I owe you. I'll transfer the money to you later."
I definitely can't talk about this on the phone, for fear that someone might hear it.
"Okay, send the money over quickly. It will arrive on the 25th, just in time for me to come to the hospital." When Gu Ci heard that he had agreed to his promise, he didn't mind being scolded by him. Anyway, he would just listen to it in one ear and out the other and wouldn't take it to heart at all.
Gu Ci was not going to be polite with him: "By the way, the weather is getting hot, could you please send all my old clothes over here?"
Gu Haihua even suspected that Gu Ci was ill: "Most of the clothes you left at home are small clothes worn by children under the age of eight. What's the point of sending them over?"
Gu Ci couldn't say it clearly, so he asked someone to alter it so that my cousins could wear it.
He said vaguely, "I can make diapers out of them later, and I can leave them for my children to wear later."
It’s also important to plan ahead.
When I marry Chu Hong, we will definitely have children, and then I can use them, right?
She also reminded him: "Send me the old clothes you don't want, so I can wear them while working. Also send me some fabric coupons."
In response to Gu Ci, there was the sound of the phone being hung up.
Gu Haihua was afraid that he would say something he didn't want to hear, so he hung up the phone without hesitation.
He knew that Gu Ci was spoiled by the Chu family and was bold and reckless.
They haven't even gotten married yet, but they already have a child.
He dares to say it, but I don’t dare to listen?
That's why he thought he didn't understand.
But he didn't dare to deduct the betrothal gift that Gu Ci asked for.
Otherwise, if those short-sighted country people make a fuss, not only will Gu Ci have to eat peanuts, but his biological father will also be implicated.
At this moment, Gu Haihua was wondering whether he should publish an announcement in the newspaper to sever the father-son relationship with Gu Ci?
Otherwise I'd always worry about being implicated by him.
But he quickly rejected it.
If Gu Ci is really annoyed, who knows what crazy things he will do.
He found out with frustration that he really couldn't afford to offend him.
Of course, after returning home, he also concealed something from Liu Jialing: "Since Gu Ci has decided to get married in the countryside, pack up all the old clothes in his room and send them to him."
"Also, send over some of the old clothes that Ruirui and Xiaoxue can no longer wear."
Although Gu Rui had already lived in Gu Ci's room, the old things in the room had either been moved to the utility room downstairs, thrown away by her, or given away.
She didn't know if she could find it, but that didn't stop her from agreeing: "Okay, I'll go find it later."
The old clothes that her son and daughter could no longer wear were given to her mother.
But since she asked, she could only find a few pieces.
She took the ticket out of her pocket and said with some embarrassment, "I asked several departments and borrowed tickets for the radio and sewing machine."
Gu Haihua took the ticket and said calmly, "You don't need to borrow the rest. I have already informed the dean."
Their hospital is the most famous people's hospital in Shanghai, and the treatment is also very good.
However, not every doctor can get a ticket for three turns and one ring.
There are many people but few votes, so we can only draw lots based on our luck.
However, the dean and vice-dean can get tickets every year. He knew that Liu Jialing would definitely not be able to get enough, so he had already asked the dean for it.
Of course, he couldn't have taken it for free, so he went back to his room to get two hundred yuan, and also took two packs of cigarettes and two bottles of wine and stuffed them into his black handbag: "I'll have dinner outside, don't wait for me."
Liu Jialing agreed with a smile, and after he left the house, she said to herself: "Gu Ci, you must get married smoothly. When you get married in the countryside, everything in the house will belong to my son."
She thought of her daughter-in-law whom she had never met, and felt that country people were easy to deal with. She was also very generous and picked out some old clothes that she didn't like from her closet.
In fact, doctors wear white coats when they are at work, so the clothes underneath are rarely damaged.
It is said that mending something can last for three years, but this family has never worn patched clothes.
Chu Hong from the countryside didn't know that Gu Ci's cheap stepmother was preparing clothes for her.
They finally replaced all the defective washbasins with rice.
There were also four washbasins with some paint peeling off, so the family kept them for their own use.
It just so happened that each of the three sisters got a new washbasin.
Chu Hong's family gained a lot this time.
There were nearly a thousand kilograms of broken rice, not counting the two bags of broken rice given to Uncle Song's family, totaling more than one hundred and thirty kilograms.
He also gave Mr. Chu and the others fifty kilograms of broken rice.
They are now in the period of shortage of food, so it would be great if they could have some broken rice to eat.
There were also about 500 kilograms of rice bran. Uncle Song's family also took two bags of rice bran. In addition, their ox cart was not used in vain, and they were also given nearly 300 kilograms of rice bran.
There are also more than 200 kilograms of rice.
Chu Hong thought that was enough, so she didn’t take it to the processing factory.
Rice grains will not be infested with rice weevils, but if they are processed into rice, they will easily be infested with weevils over time.
As a result, the rice delivered to the enamel factory was short of more than ten kilograms. Chu Hong readily paid for it out of her own pocket and even deliberately played the victim: "Some people exchanged rice that was not dry enough and heavy, causing us to lose money."
