Zheng Jianjun was speechless. These things were too expensive. Although their family was considered an upper-middle-class family, they could not afford to buy so many things at one time.
"This is too much. We can't finish it all at home. You can take some back later."
Zheng Jianjun was a down-to-earth man, and he quickly waved his hand and said.
Zhou Jingchuan naturally would not take the things back. So many people saw it on the road just now. What would happen if he took it with him?
"Uncle, no need. I bought this for you. If you can't eat the meat, you can make it into bacon. Just pickle it and it will be fine. It can be kept."
Zhou Jingchuan spoke very politely. Although his face was still a little stiff, it was obvious that he had tried his best.
Zheng Jianjun didn't say anything else and asked him to take a seat. When Zheng Wangshu saw this, he silently gave Zhou Jingchuan a thumbs up in his heart.
Yesterday, the two of them only agreed to confront their families and propose marriage, and Zheng Wangshu did not ask him to bring much.
To put it bluntly, the two of them are in a fake marriage, just going through the motions. They will get divorced sooner or later, and she won't ask them to spend too much.
But who would have thought that Zhou Jingchuan was so broad-minded and brought so many things with him. She is very proud now.
A man who is willing to spend money on you is much better than an ordinary person, even if it is not true love.
Zhou Jingchuan and Zheng Wangshu naturally sat next to each other. They were strangers to each other and their expressions looked unnatural sitting together. Zheng Wangshu was afraid that his family would notice, so he took Zhou Jingchuan's arm intimately.
Gu Meiqi felt uncomfortable watching this. She thought Zheng Wangshu was marrying a pig farmer, and it was her second marriage. It was good enough for this man to carry two boxes of milk.
Who would have thought that he would bring so many things on his first visit? No one in the entire compound has ever seen such generosity.
This was obviously not what she wanted to see. What she wanted to see was Zheng Wangshu being destitute and being trampled underfoot by her own daughter.
But if you think about it carefully, Zhou Jingchuan runs a farm after all, and a pig may not cost much, so it is understandable that he brings a little more.
They quickly got to the point. Zheng Jianjun briefly asked about his situation and chatted about work. Then they got to the main point, which was discussing the bride price.
"Xiao Zhou, what are you thinking? Let me be frank with you. Although Wangshu is getting married for the second time, there's nothing wrong with her being divorced. She's a good kid, but she was just delayed. Now she wants to marry you, so don't look down on her for that."
Zheng Jianjun spoke earnestly, and Zheng Wangshu couldn't help but feel moved. This cheap father did have some conscience.
Zhou Jingchuan nodded, "Of course."
After a pause, he continued, "This is what I think. It's not easy for Wangshu to marry into my family. She has to help me raise two children. It's really hard work. I plan to give her a betrothal gift of 1,600 yuan, also for good luck. I've also prepared the other three turns and one ring. I will never let her suffer any grievances."
When these words came out, not only Gu Meiqi and the others were stunned, but Zheng Wangshu on the side was also stunned, looking at him in disbelief.
She had also inquired in advance and found out that now a marriage gift of over 200 yuan is considered a high gift, something that can be boasted about.
But what did Zhou Jingchuan say? Sixteen hundred yuan? This was the eighties, and that was definitely a huge sum of money.
Although I had expected him to make money by running a breeding farm, I didn't expect it to be so profitable.
Gu Meiqin's lips trembled. "You, what did you say? One thousand six hundred yuan for the betrothal gift?"
Zhou Jingchuan was very calm and nodded in affirmation.
"right."
Zheng Jianjun glanced at Zheng Wangshu with a bit of resentment in his eyes. This girl didn't tell him in advance, and he offered so much betrothal gift right away. Their family must also show some appreciation, otherwise wouldn't it be like selling their daughter?
"Xiao Zhou, why are you giving so much as a betrothal gift?"
Zheng Jianjun coughed dryly and couldn't help asking again.
"Yes, uncle, I have brought the money. It is here. Please accept it."
As Zhou Jingchuan spoke, he took out an envelope from his pocket, which was bulging with money.
Zheng Wangshu immediately became restless. If the betrothal gift was only a few dozen yuan, then it didn't matter if he gave it to his family. After all, it wasn't very tempting.
But if it is more than a thousand yuan and her family keeps it, then she can't do it. When will she be able to earn that much?
Besides, wouldn't that be a bargain for Gu Meiqin? With so much money, his son wouldn't have to worry about getting married or his daughter a job.
But after all, he had to consider his dignity and couldn't take the money away now. Zheng Wangshu thought so, and his heart was jumping with anxiety.
Gu Meiqin, standing by, was also staring at the envelope with a strange expression, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. How could this stinky girl find such a rich man for her second marriage? What kind of girl would give nearly 2,000 yuan as a betrothal gift? This was too extravagant.
But with so much money, there are so many things that can be done. If she keeps this money, her son will be able to marry anyone he wants in the future.
Zheng Jianjun was now completely relieved. How could a man who was willing to give so much betrothal gifts be bad to his daughter?
If he really didn't care about his daughter, he wouldn't have given her so much money.
"Although this money is a betrothal gift, we won't keep it. When you marry Wangshu, we'll give it to you all to take away. It will be your little nest egg. In addition, I'll give you another 500 yuan as Wangshu's dowry. Son-in-law, don't think it's too little."
Yesterday he was still struggling with whether to give the 500 yuan or not, but now he felt that he was overthinking it. Did the other party owe them 500 yuan?
Originally, it was possible not to give the money, but Zheng Jianjun didn't want Zheng Wangshu to lose face in front of Zhou Jingchuan.
"Your words are serious. I naturally won't despise it. Whether it's a lot or a little, it's all the elders' kindness."
Zhou Jingchuan usually doesn't say a word even if you hit him with a stick, but he said more today than he did in a week. It can be seen that he also values the agreement with Zheng Wangshu very much.
After he did this, Zheng Wangshu naturally had a better impression of him. Although it was a fake marriage, the fact that this man could do this was enough to prove that he was responsible, which was truly commendable.
Zheng Jianjun patted Gu Meiqin's arm and said, "Go get the money."
Gu Meiqin's face was almost as black as the ash at the bottom of the pot. When she heard her husband say that the 1,600 yuan would be given to Zheng Wangshu, her heart was bleeding.
She managed to hold it back with great difficulty, but when she heard that her husband wanted to give her a dowry of 500 yuan, she broke down on the spot.
But she couldn't turn against him. The whole family depended on Zheng Jianjun. If she offended this man, her life would be even more difficult in the future.
Gu Meicen hesitated and dithered for a long time before taking out five hundred yuan.
When she saw her husband handing the money to Zheng Wangshu, her eyes almost popped out.
Zheng Wangshu looked at her and naturally felt amused, but at the same time he felt extremely happy.
