Then the Shen family also bought a watch for Gu Shuhe.
Chen Ying said, "Let's buy this watch now!"
"There are so many brands and styles here, it's hard to choose back home."
"I'll buy bicycles and sewing machines in the county town later, otherwise it will be inconvenient to bring them back."
Since everyone had shown it to him, Gu Shuhe naturally chose.
She wasn't very interested in these, but she still had some aesthetic sense, so she picked an expensive one.
It’s not very expensive. A quartz ladies’ watch costs 258, which is actually cheap in this brand.
but……
Chen Ying went to pull Shen Tingci's pocket, "Where's the money you brought?"
She came with a bag of money, but it was not enough now.
But she knew that Shen Tingci had money on him!
Seeing this, Shen Tingci took out two hundred from the inner pocket of his coat and gave it to her.
Only then could Chen Ying pay the money.
After buying the watch, Chen Ying said, "Let's go eat early, and then go home early after eating."
"Everyone is tired from running around these past two days."
This is true.
No one said anything at first, but Shen Tingci said, "You guys go to the hotel and wait for me first. I have something to go out for."
Chen Ying frowned and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"I asked someone to buy something, I'm going to pick it up!"
"What?"
"ring!"
Without giving Chen Ying a chance to continue speaking, Shen Tingci patted her shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you pay."
He just left after he said that.
Chen Ying, who was left behind, “…”
No. He ruined her reputation like this?
Did she say that I can’t buy it anymore?
She just asked a few more questions, that's all.
But the result...
Left alone facing the Gu family, Chen Ying felt a little guilty for no reason. She raised her hand and pointed randomly, "...this, this child, why didn't you tell me in advance?"
"If I had told him, I would have brought more money. How could I let him pay for it?"
Chen Ying said this because she hoped Gu Yanli and the others could understand that she was not a stingy mother-in-law who would deliberately make things difficult for her daughter-in-law.
As for why she had to prove this, maybe... Chen Ying was also afraid of being beaten.
Nowadays, there is no reason for a daughter-in-law's family to beat her husband's family.
So she started to explain.
But Gu Yanli has a different view. "Young people, when it comes to getting married and living together, they still have to rely on themselves."
Gu Yanli's words were telling Chen Ying that if Shen Tingci wanted to buy this ring, he should pay for it himself, and it would be unreasonable to rely entirely on his family.
Wei Hongtao also smiled and tried to smooth things over, "That's right, in the end, it still depends on the young couple themselves to make a living."
"Come on, let's go sit down first."
"Is there anything you want to eat, sister-in-law?"
Wen Tang smiled and said, "I'm casual. I'm not picky about food."
"Okay, I'll take care of the dishes later. I guarantee everyone will be satisfied," Wei Hongtao said with a smile as he led everyone forward.
No one knew where Shen Tingci had gone to get the ring, but he came back when the dishes were almost served.
As soon as he approached the table, Wei Hongtao quickly said, "I'm quite greedy, so I started eating first. Minister Shen, please don't be disgusted."
Shen Tingci shook his head and motioned him to sit down, "Nothing!"
After he sat down, he asked, "Is there enough food?"
"I'll add two more dishes."
Of course, Wei Hongtao couldn't have said this.
Gu Yanli raised his eyebrows and said, "That's enough, no need to waste any more!"
Wei Hongtao then said, "That's right, there aren't many of us."
"Eat it quickly, while it's hot, while it's hot."
Shen Tingci didn't say anything else.
No one outside asked him about the gold ring because there were many gossips outside.
Everyone ate in silence.
After the meal, Shen Tingci still paid the bill.
Wei Hongtao said he would buy it himself, and Shen Tingci only said, "How can you let the matchmaker pay for a meal?"
Wei Hongtao was a little embarrassed, "I've been eating your meals for several times in a row..."
Shen Tingci gave the money to the waiter, and then said with a smile, "Director Wei has been running around with me, not only has he not complained about being tired, but I haven't even had a few drinks with Director Wei. I can't just ignore Director Wei and not even have a full meal!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Hongtao raised his hand and tapped his shoulder. "Look at what you said. You're out here, not at home. You'll have plenty of opportunities to drink this wine later."
Shen Tingci just continued to smile and said, "Okay, I feel relieved with what Director Wei said. When things are settled, I will definitely have a few drinks with Director Wei."
"OK!"
After paying the money, they found a car, got in and started heading home.
Maybe he was full, or maybe it was time for a nap. After Wen Tang got in the car, he fell asleep in the swaying of the car not long after.
Gu Yanli saw that she had fallen asleep, so he said to Gu Shuhe, who was drowsy beside her, "Shuhe, cover your sister-in-law with the blanket."
Gu Shuhe opened his eyes, glanced at Wen Tang beside him, and quickly pulled the blanket over Wen Tang.
The blanket was a bit big, so after Wen Tang covered it, he saw Gu Shuhe lying down again, so Gu Yanli said, "Cover yourself a little too, don't run back and get sick from the cold."
Gu Shuhe also obediently covered herself with the edge of the blanket.
Because we left early in the afternoon, it was not yet four o'clock when we arrived at the county town.
When they arrived at the county town, Wen Tang and Gu Shuhe were still asleep in the car.
Gu Yanli got out of the car himself to greet Shen Tingci and the others.
When Wei Hongtao asked about Wen Tang, Gu Yanli told the truth, "I fell asleep on the way and am still asleep."
Wei Hongtao immediately said, "Running back and forth like this must have exhausted my sister-in-law."
