At first, Mr. Shen didn't notice the list of betrothal gifts, but when he took a closer look, he was stunned.
“This is too much, in-laws, isn’t this going too far?” said Father Shen.
"No, Xiaoxue is such a good child, I actually think we've missed something."
"My son is quite willful, and only Xiaoxue can tolerate him."
Qiuqiu smiled when he heard what his mother said. His mother had never said anything soft in her life, and she had done it all for him.
“Don’t say that. I know what kind of children they are,” Mr. Shen said.
The people around looked at the things in the room, and with Shen's father's surprise, they all became curious. Shen's family members also saw the list from behind.
I exclaimed in surprise as soon as I saw the first line of monetary gifts.
"A dowry of 1.88 million? Is this for real?" exclaimed Shen's father's sister-in-law.
Xiaoxue felt extremely helpless after hearing this. Her in-laws were still there; this was just too embarrassing.
The kind-hearted man immediately opened the box containing the betrothal gifts. As soon as he opened it, gasps of surprise erupted both inside the house and in the courtyard.
Mr. and Mrs. Shen blushed immediately. What kind of situation was this? What would their in-laws think? It was so embarrassing.
"Is this jade bracelet more expensive, or is that gold jewelry more expensive? There are so many things on this," people around them murmured.
"I'm sorry, you must have found this amusing," Mother Shen said, blushing.
Fortunately, Xiaoxue's uncle realized what was happening and stopped everyone from opening it.
"It's alright, it's alright. It's already this late, let me treat everyone to a meal."
“We drove here today, which is convenient,” Tingting said.
“We should do this another day, there are too many things in this house,” said Father Shen.
"It's alright, in-laws. We've brought quite a few people with us, and they're all here to keep watch. The rest of the drivers will take us to eat."
"Xiao Kui, take some people and help tidy up here, and keep an eye on things."
"Okay, I understand, Auntie. Don't worry."
“The restaurant is all our own, and everyone here is Xiaoxue’s family, so please don’t be shy,” Tingting said.
After the Shen family members left the courtyard and got into the car, the onlookers outside the gate gradually dispersed.
However, the people inside the courtyard were still unwilling to leave, and some even had other ideas.
Seeing Xiao Kui with so many people standing at the door, those who wanted to go in and see what was there gave up on that idea.
The Guo and Shen families discussed their children's marriage, including the final dowry of 1.88 million yuan, and the news spread far and wide.
Xiao Kui could see quite a few people coming and going from the doorway, their intentions not too obvious.
"What are you always loitering around here for? Are you bored?" Xiao Kui said.
"Hey, why are you being so rude? Can't we even come?"
"Why aren't you eating lunch? The Shen family has all gone to eat. If you want to see each other, let's talk about it tonight."
The people around wanted to say something, but then thought better of it, since Xiao Kui didn't seem like someone to be trifled with.
However, many kind-hearted people, who also knew about the unpleasantness between the Shen family and Wang Honghua, came to visit.
Of course, they didn't have any good intentions; they were just there to watch the show.
Who told Wang Honghua to be so boastful all the time? Now everyone wants to see her looking miserable.
"Sister Wang, are you home? It's me, Xiao Zhang. I've come to see you."
When Wang Honghua opened the door, she saw many people standing outside, all of them in high spirits.
"What good news is there for you all? You seem so happy," Wang Honghua asked.
"It's nothing serious, we just wanted to make you happy, so we came to see you."
Although Wang Honghua lived close to the Shen family, she never went out and naturally knew nothing about the Shen family's affairs, nor did she know that these people had come with the intention of making a fool of themselves.
