As soon as he got home, Fu Shiyi couldn't wait to share the good news.
"I... can finally get married!"
Fu Shiqin scoffed dismissively, "It's just a wedding, what's there to brag about?"
"If you've got the guts, why don't you tie one for me right now?" Fu Shiyi challenged.
Upon hearing this, Fu Shengying spoke loudly.
"The dates have been chosen; come and pick one."
After changing her shoes, Madam Fu immediately went to the living room to check the auspicious date that had been chosen.
"Three months from now, it will be a bit cold and time will be a bit tight. We would say next spring would be the best time."
“I think we should do it three months later. It’ll be cold then, so we can have it indoors. Next spring would be nice, but Dongdong will be several months pregnant by then, and wedding preparations will be too tiring for her and the baby,” Gu Weiwei suggested.
Madam Fu nodded in agreement.
"That's true. Let's set it for three months from now. Although the timeframe is a bit tight, if we hurry up, it should be enough."
Fu Shengying also felt that their considerations made sense, and then asked.
"How should we prepare the betrothal gifts for the Ding family?"
"There's no rush. It's not certain yet whether we'll be the ones getting married or they'll be the ones taking in a son-in-law." After thinking for a moment, Madam Fu decided to prepare for both scenarios. If we're the ones getting married, we'll arrange a marriage; if the Ding family takes him in, we'll give him a dowry.
"A dowry...?" Upon hearing this, Fu Shiyi was completely taken aback.
Upon hearing this, Fu Shiqin laughed so hard he rolled around on the sofa.
"I sincerely wish you would be chosen by the Ding family as their son-in-law. I will give you a proper wedding procession then, hahahahahaha..."
Fu Shiyi had expected his own father to hesitate, but when he saw that his father agreed without even a moment's hesitation, he nodded in agreement.
"Okay, let's prepare for both possibilities."
"..."
Kaman Dorrance looked at the parents who were willing to send their son away without a second thought and remained speechless for a long time.
"You...you really want to send me to their doorstep? Am I their biological child? Don't you feel any heartache at all?" Fu Shiyi asked this soul-searching question in his anger.
Fu Shengying glanced at him sideways, "It's good enough that they're willing to take you, what are you being so picky about?"
"They only have one daughter. She married you. Don't they feel sorry for her and sad?" Madam Fu snorted.
“I…” Fu Shiyi was speechless.
Although the logic is correct, why does he still feel a little heartbroken?
Fu Shengying dared to think, and asked Madam Fu.
"The betrothal gifts are no problem, but how much should we give as dowry?"
"Give as much as you can, it's for Dongdong anyway," Madam Fu said.
Fu Shiyi felt even more pained. "So the betrothal gifts were supposed to be for Dongdong, and now that we're going to visit, they're still going to be for Dongdong. You're practically handing over money and expecting me to pay you to come to your door."
With such heartless parents, he must not be their biological son.
He looked pitifully at Kaman Dorrance, "Godfather, do you think what they did was right?"
Kaman Dorrance thought for a moment and then said.
"Then shall I give you another dowry?"
“I’ll give you one too,” Fu Shiqin laughed wildly.
He wouldn't mind giving any dowry as long as he could marry off Fu Laosan.
"I'm withdrawn," Fu Shiyi said, then returned to his room dejectedly.
It wasn't that he didn't want to be a son-in-law of the Ding family, but he didn't want to be sent out by them to be a live-in woman.
If he were to marry into the Ding family and become a live-in son-in-law, Fu Xiao'er would laugh at him for the rest of his life.
