but……
Hong Zhi glanced at Lin Yuhua and Lin Yulai, his face still stern.
"Didn't we say we were here to discuss marriage today? Why didn't Lin Tong's parents come? What's the point of having you uncles and aunts come?"
"This..." Several people looked at each other, and Wang Feng laughed awkwardly.
What Hong Zhi was saying was that it was Lin Tong who was getting married, but none of his biological parents came. This was totally unacceptable...
Er Ge also laughed: "Lin Tong's parents haven't read many books and don't have much culture, so they haven't experienced this kind of scene. They must be a little panicked, so they don't dare to come."
Hong Zhi was not satisfied with this answer: "Their son is getting married. If they don't come now, when do they want to come?"
Hong Zhi's words were irrefutable.
The person who can speak the most in the Lin family is Wang Feng. Wang Feng coughed and said, "When Lin Tong comes to propose marriage, we uncles and aunts must come to support the occasion."
"Yes!" An Xin also echoed: "My eldest brother and his wife are usually very tongue-tied. They don't even know when they offended someone. If it was a small matter, we would let them come, but this is Lin Tong and Meimei's lifelong event. We are afraid that they will say something wrong and be embarrassed."
"We, the uncle and aunt, are here to support Lin Tong and Meimei. I guess the villagers already know about our presence. Aren't there so many of us here just because we care about your Meimei? It will save us some face if we tell others about it later, right?"
An Xin is worthy of being An Xin. She made Hong Zhi satisfied with just a few words.
He stopped finding fault. His daughter's belly was getting bigger, so how long could he be so pretentious?
Although Lin Tong is not tall, there is nothing wrong with his appearance and figure. Moreover, he brought meat and wine when he came to the house for the first time, so it seems that his family is quite good.
If my daughter really gets married, she won't suffer.
He coughed and said, "You also said that my Meimei and your Lintong are in a free love relationship, so the betrothal gift should still be paid."
Fearing that the Lin family would look down on their daughter, Hong Zhi glared again and said, "Don't think that just because my Meimei is pregnant, she has to be your Lin Tong. If there's no betrothal gift, we'll take her to have an abortion!"
"No, no, no!" Wang Feng said quickly: "Although I don't have a daughter, I also know that a daughter is the apple of her parents' eyes. How can I not ask for a betrothal gift after she gets married? I will give it to her, of course!"
Hong Zhi's expression softened: "Our Hong family is not the kind of family that sells their daughters. Since the two children are in love freely, we can just give them whatever we want."
"Other families need to buy three turns and a ring when marrying off their daughters, but mine doesn't, but we have to buy a sewing machine and a bicycle at least!"
These are just the basics, others include: "Two bottles of wine are also needed, and meat, pork, fish, white flour, etc. are indispensable."
These eldest wives of the Lin family could afford it, and it was not too much. At least they did not ask for all three turns and one ring.
However, they were not Lin Tong's biological parents, so they couldn't agree to such an important matter without permission. In the end, they just said, "We will definitely tell Lin Tong's parents about this when we go back. After everything is settled, we can discuss the marriage."
Hong Zhi nodded: "We have to do it as soon as possible. We have to wait until Meimei's belly gets bigger. It won't sound good if we tell others about this!"
