Zheng Jianjun felt a little unhappy when he heard Gu Meiqin say this.
"The dowry is to give Wangshu confidence. She married the wrong person in her first marriage. If I don't support her in her second marriage, her in-laws will probably look down on her even more. If she loses money, she can earn it again, but she can't be wronged again. This child doesn't enjoy any happiness with me."
Zheng Jianjun finally found his conscience and was willing to be generous for once.
Gu Meiqin cursed him in her heart, but she had to pretend. Who made the whole family rely on men? If she offended this man, what would happen to her and her two children?
After all, the two of her children were not Zheng Jianjun's, so she couldn't expect him to be nice to them.
"That's what I said, but I think five hundred is too much. Wangshu is stupid. If she gets married, she'll spend it all on others. Give her less for now. If she returns to her parents' home in the future, it won't be too late to give her more."
Gu Meiqin was also a good talker, and she advised seriously from the side.
Now Zheng Jianjun was really hesitant. His daughter used to be stupid, but now he felt that she was much smarter than before and would not suffer the same loss twice.
"No way, she's already such a grown-up, how can she be so stupid?"
"That's hard to say. We'll see when the time comes. She might find a man like this, and who knows what he'll be like. If she's stingy and doesn't want to spend any money, and we just ask for 500 yuan, wouldn't that be a big rip-off?"
Gu Meiqin looked down on Zhou Jingchuan somewhat, thinking that he was just a self-employed person. Even if he came to propose marriage tomorrow, it would probably not be presentable.
If the betrothal gift is only a few dozen yuan and their dowry is only 500 yuan, that would be laughable.
Hearing his wife say this, Zheng Jianjun felt angry just thinking about the scene.
"If that's the case, then I definitely can't agree. Okay, let's stop talking. Let's go to sleep first and talk about it tomorrow."
Gu Meiqin sneered in her heart, responded and went to sleep.
Zhou Jingchuan and Zheng Wangshu agreed to have dinner together the next night and to propose marriage and set a date.
So Zheng Jianjun and Gu Meiqin took a leave of absence in the afternoon and waited at home early.
Zheng Jianjun didn't know what he was thinking. He asked Gu Meiqi to clean the house and was dissatisfied with everything, for fear of embarrassing his daughter.
When Zheng Wangshu saw him like this, he thought he was somewhat cute.
Zheng Xinyue didn't attend class today. Zheng Wangshu knew what she wanted to do, which was to see him make a fool of himself.
I want to see what Zhou Jingchuan is like and how unpresentable he is.
So in the afternoon, a car was seen parked at the gate of the family compound. Although it was an ordinary truck, it still attracted everyone's attention.
What happened next made the people in the family compound even more curious.
A young man with a slim waist and long legs got out of the car door. He went to the back and opened the truck. Then the other two people got out of the car, took out things from the back and moved them to the ground.
Wow, there were boxes and boxes of gift boxes, canned food, malted milk, biscuits, mung bean cakes, as well as alcohol and cigarettes.
In addition, there are two pieces of pork, as well as chicken, duck and fish.
The young man obviously couldn't carry so many things by himself, so he called two friends for help.
Liuzi was carrying a slab of pork, grinning.
"Boss, those who know you think you are here to propose marriage, while those who don't think you are here to prepare New Year's goods."
A short man next to him couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
Zhou Jingchuan gave him a cold sidelong glance and said, "If you don't speak, no one will think you're dumb."
Liuzi sighed and quickly shut up.
After entering the family compound, I was surrounded by people all the way. The design was really too eye-catching.
"Who is this young comrade looking for? Why is he carrying so many goodies?"
"I don't know. I haven't heard of it. Which girl in our compound has a boyfriend?"
Everyone was talking at once, all very curious. No matter whose boyfriend the girl was dating, it was really generous.
Whoever comes to propose marriage can't just bring something casually, so why would they bring two pieces of pork? How much would that cost?
People usually eat meat by counting the pieces, and it is impossible to eat it every meal. In some places, you need tickets to buy pork, and meat tickets are not easy to get. Even if you buy it with money, it will cost a lot of money.
A few aunts couldn't help it and followed Zhou Jingchuan and his friends all the way to their destination.
It wasn't until they saw Zhou Jingchuan and the others go upstairs and enter Zheng Jianjun's house that they started to explode.
"What's going on? Why did you go to Zheng Jianjun's house? Could it be that his youngest daughter is getting married?"
Everyone naturally thought of Zheng Xinyue, and no one thought about Zheng Wangshu at all. After all, everyone knew that she had been on a blind date recently, and she was neither too good nor too bad, so it was unlikely to succeed in a short time.
Besides, for a woman who is getting married for the second time, even if the marriage is successful, it is impossible for the man to bring so many good things. Is she worth that price?
"That's impossible. Isn't his daughter still studying? How could she possibly get married so early?"
Some have raised questions, and they make sense. Zheng Xinyue is currently in high school, preparing to take the Gaokao (National College Entrance Examination) and getting married at this critical juncture wouldn't make sense. Besides, there's no news of her dating or starting a family.
"Could it be his eldest daughter?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at each other in shock.
"How is that possible? Didn't his eldest daughter just get divorced? Even if she were to look for someone else, she wouldn't be able to find someone as good as this. This guy looks rich, and his head and appearance are not ordinary. How could he possibly fall for the girl from their family?"
Everyone was talking at once, all extremely curious. Some people even wanted to push the door open and rush in to see what was going on.
But I can only think about it, I can't just go over and watch the fun.
Zheng Jianjun heard someone knocking on the door, so he stood up, straightened his clothes, and then went to open the door.
I was also shocked after opening the door. Besides Zhou Jingchuan, there were two young men at the door, both of whom were carrying full bags.
He had met Zhou Jingchuan before. When Zheng Wangshu and Zhou Yunyan got married, this cousin also attended and left a deep impression on him at that time.
After all, he is too tall. Nowadays, people's nutrition is not enough, and it is rare to see a man who can grow to such a tall height.
Now seeing Zhou Jingchuan standing there, Zheng Jianjun felt a little oppressed.
"Come in."
Zhou Jingchuan invited Liuzi and the others in and placed the things they brought directly at the entrance.
"Okay, you guys go back."
After putting the things down, Zhou Jingchuan asked Liuzi and the others to leave.
After Liuzi and the others left, he stood up straight and straightened the slightly wrinkled corners of his clothes.
"Uncle and aunt, this is my first visit, and I don't know what you like to eat, so I just brought some."
Gu Meiqin was dumbfounded. This was just some random stuff? They had never bought so many things during the Chinese New Year. Not to mention the cigarette and alcohol gift boxes, just the two pork loins, how much did they cost?
