This time Gu Juyuan stopped being a pushover and asked directly, "Isn't it too hasty?"
Wei Hongtao glanced at Shen Tingci. As the matchmaker invited by Shen Tingci, he could only help smooth things over. "Uncle, we are all experienced people. We all know that marriage is all about fate."
"Sometimes this is just fate, don't you think?"
Gu Yanli only said, "In such a hurry, our family doesn't have time to prepare the dowry!"
He said this deliberately, wanting to see what Shen Tingci would say.
Shen Tingci turned his body slightly towards Gu Yanli before saying, "If you don't mind this part, I can prepare it."
He is the eldest son in their family, so there will be no shortage of people on their wedding day.
It's okay for Gu Shuhe to not bring any dowry, because his father never says a word about these things.
He could just stop him from talking.
But he couldn't stop the gossips of those who attended the wedding that day.
Once Shuhe marries him, she will inevitably integrate into his life.
Those who attended the wedding would be people he would have contact with more or less in his future life, and he didn't want Shuhe to be talked about.
When people live in the secular world, they always have to deal with all kinds of secular life.
So he could prepare a dowry for Shuhe.
Gu Yanli approved of his approach in his heart, because if he married into a family like his with nothing, he would inevitably be talked about.
The better ones didn't talk about it to his face, but the bolder ones dared to say it to his face once Shuhe was alone.
If Shen Tingci said that he didn't care about dowry at all, Gu Yanli would really have an opinion.
Is this something he cares about or not?
In real life, there are too many practical issues to consider.
When Shen Tingci said this, he was obviously considering the problem from Shuhe's perspective.
Although Gu Yanli approved of Shen Tingci's approach, he still looked sarcastic. "If people knew about this, what would happen to Shu He?"
"Can't your family afford the dowry?"
Shen Tingci was not angry, "I won't let others know, I am confident that I can still do this!"
Seeing this, Gu Juyuan quickly said, "No, no, we have saved enough money for Xiaohe, and she has money on her own, so you don't need to prepare a dowry."
Zhong Meixian also said, "Yes, time is a bit tight, but we can still prepare our simple dowry."
Shen Tingci thought they were worried that this would be known to others, so he said, "It's okay, I have some spare money."
All his salary and bonuses from these years are in his hands. He doesn't spend much money on weekdays. He is 27 years old this year and does have some extra money.
Not only can you prepare a dowry for Shuhe, but you can also prepare a very decent dowry.
But Gu Juyuan and Zhong Meixian still refused, "What's yours is yours, we can't take it."
"You have it, and you'll need it when you live with Shuhe in the future."
Wei Hongtao tried to smooth things over again, "That's right, since my uncle and aunt said there is one, then there must be one!"
"The time is a bit rushed, but let's pick a date before the New Year and marry her home before the New Year, okay?" He said this while looking at Chen Tingci.
Shen Tingci nodded.
"Then, the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month!"
"After the banquet, it won't delay our New Year celebrations. Uncle and aunt will have plenty of time to prepare a dowry for my younger sister. What do you think?"
Gu Juyuan and Zhong Meixian didn't say anything, they just looked at Gu Yanli together.
Gu Yanli said, "It doesn't matter what day it is, but one thing is, once you get married, you can't be wronged."
"I can't tolerate any grain of sand in my eyes, and my sister is the same."
"My sister won't eat half-cooked rice, and she won't live through half-cooked days either."
Wei Hongtao immediately said, "Don't worry, I'm the matchmaker. If my little sister is wronged, not only you, but even I can't agree."
As he spoke, he hit Shen Tingci and said, "Minister Shen, remember what we said today. If you let my little sister down, we, the family members, will not let you off easily."
Shen Tingci rarely smiled and said, "Don't worry, Director Wei, if one day I go against what I said today, you can beat me and scold me, I will never say a word."
"Okay, I believe you," Wei Hongtao patted his shoulder again.
Even though this matter was settled, the smile on Shen Tingci's lips never faded.
His smile is like a magnolia flower blooming on a branch, graceful and elegant.
Gu Yanli thought, judging by this face, his sister really didn't suffer any loss.
Now that the matter has been agreed upon, Gu Juyuan naturally has to invite people to dinner!
Today we mainly stay with Wei Hongtao.
Shen Tingci slipped away twice before, but he didn't slip away today.
Lin Liansheng went to the backyard to catch and kill chickens.
Gu Yanli was sent to buy some vegetables.
There are really few things in the countryside.
Even if Gu Yanli went to buy another two pounds of meat, it still looked shabby.
It’s not that Gu Yanli is stingy and doesn’t want to buy more, it’s just that there is only so much.
Even with chicken, meat, and eggs, it still seems not enough.
Gu Juyuan thought of the things that Shen Ting had said goodbye to.
I was not very active before and was planning to return it to him.
The matter has been settled today, and the things have not been returned yet.
Gu Juyuan took out the ham that Shen Tingci had given him, and Zhong Meixian cut it, which was considered another meat dish.
Then there were tofu, bean sprouts and other dishes, making a total of six dishes.
Gu Juyuan also asked Gu Yanli to invite Xu Zhongguo and Xu Huaishan to come and have dinner with Wei Hongtao and Shen Tingci.
After hearing the situation, Xu Zhongguo naturally went there happily.
Another car was parked in front of the Gu family's house. People who were returning home from work at noon would inevitably stop at the door and ask a few questions.
Zhong Meixian also told others that "she is Shuhe's boyfriend."
