Chapter 381 Why is it a watch?

Although Ma Mengjiao was pregnant, she still had to ask for what she should ask for, such as the betrothal gift. When they returned to the room at night, the family discussed this matter. They had discussed the betrothal gift once at noon.

Ma Minglong and Zhao Yufeng had originally planned to ask for 6666, but now they have changed their minds because they heard that Changyi and Guan Bolin asked for 11,000 as a dowry.

They also plan to ask for 11,000.

My daughter's husband's family is wealthy and owns a big factory. I heard that they have an annual income of tens of millions. A dowry of 11,000 is really a drop in the bucket.

If it weren't for the fact that their daughter was pregnant and someone had caught her with evidence, they would have wanted hundreds of thousands of dollars. A hundred thousand wouldn't be enough, two hundred thousand would be about right.

After all, the in-laws were so rich, and the daughter they had raised for twenty years was about to marry off to another family, so asking for two hundred thousand was not excessive at all.

It hurts to think about Ma Minglong and Zhao Yufeng. It's such a huge amount of money, and they can never earn it back in their lifetime.

But if the daughter-in-law wasn't pregnant, people probably wouldn't marry their daughter-in-law.

But if their daughter is married, she will help her parents' family.

The couple felt better thinking this way.

Ma Mengjiao didn't say anything about this. Her husband's family was so rich, so taking 11,000 yuan was nothing.

At this time, Cao Yang's family was also discussing this matter.

"Jiaojiao asked us to go to her uncle's villa to discuss it tomorrow, so her uncle should attach great importance to his niece's marriage." Cao's mother said to Cao's father.

Father Cao nodded, "My mother is my uncle, so he must be valued."

Cao's mother smiled and said, "Master, although Jiaojiao is pregnant, you still have to take some betrothal gifts."

Don't look at the monk's face, look at the Buddha's face

Father Cao: "This is a must. Let's see how much her parents want tomorrow."

The next day.

Gu Jianhua left for the train station early in the morning, and Su He took Guan Bolin to the hospital, leaving only four elders at home.

The in-laws were coming to discuss the marriage, and Zhao Yufeng and Ma Minglong wanted to tell Gu's mother and ask her to prepare some things, but they didn't know how to start the conversation, so Ma Mengjiao went to the market early in the morning and bought some fruits and other things to set up the table.

She said, "Let's go to the hotel to eat after we finish talking."

Zhao Yufeng, "Meng Jiao, you can just talk in the hotel. There's no need to talk here."

It's not their home, they don't know how to entertain guests.

Ma Mengjiao said, "No, we have to talk here."

Humph, Zhao Nannan scolded her and insulted her yesterday, so today she will let her see how much the Cao family values ​​her!

On normal weekends, Zhao Nannan would sleep until ten or twelve o'clock before getting up, but today she got up especially early and dressed herself up very beautifully.

Then I sat in the living room and watched TV.

It was not their family affair. Gu's father and Su's father went fishing as usual. Gu's mother and Su's mother wanted to play mahjong, but they had to be at home without anyone. What would they do if these people came and messed up things at home?

Then I didn’t go, mainly because I wanted to see the excitement.

Ma Mengjiao thought Zhao Nannan would hide in the room today and not come out, but unexpectedly she came down early in the morning.

Since they were discussing marriage, they couldn't come too late. Cao Yang's father, Cao mother and their family of three came to the villa at eight o'clock and brought a lot of gifts.

Normally, when guests come, someone should come out to greet them.

No one greeted them, but a nanny came out, opened the door for them, and said, "They are in the living room."

He led them in without even helping to carry their things.

Mother Cao glanced at Father Cao, who said, "Go in."

It's terrible. Now some people are so proud of their money. What is there to be proud of?

When they entered the living room, they saw their future daughter-in-law.

When Ma Mengjiao saw people coming, she introduced both sets of parents to each other. The Cao family's attitude was quite good.

The two sides exchanged a few pleasantries, and Ma Mengjiao explained, "My uncle was too busy with his business, so he went on a business trip to Hai City."

"My cousin's wife is pregnant. My aunt took her to the prenatal check-up and will be here soon."

Cao's father and mother smiled and expressed their understanding. No wonder, it turned out that he was not at home.

Su's mother and Gu's mother were not at home. They were picking vegetables in the backyard, thinking about what delicious food to make for their grandson and daughter-in-law at noon.

But Zhao Nannan had just come out of the bathroom when she heard what Ma Mengjiao said. She felt that something was not quite right because they usually called her without the courtesy name.

She calls Gu Jianhua and Su He uncle and aunt, but when introducing them to outsiders, she still calls them cousin.

She walked over and said hello, "Hello, uncle and aunt."

Cao Yang touched his nose and felt a little embarrassed. At this moment, Ma Mengjiao had a bad feeling for some reason.

Cao's mother looked at Ma Mengjiao, "Who is this?"

Before Ma Mengjiao could answer, Zhao Nannan answered first.

"I'm her cousin."

Cao's mother understood immediately, "Cousin." Meng Jiao's uncle's daughter.

She asked with a smile, "I heard from Meng Jiao that you are studying at the University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. You are really amazing, girl."

When Zhao Nannan heard this, she knew that the other party had mistaken her for Chang Huan's sister.

She waved her hands, "No, Auntie, I didn't go to college. You're talking about my cousin's daughter."

"My father is Meng Jiao's second uncle."

At this point, Zhao Nannan seemed to understand something. Could it be that Ma Mengjiao was bragging to others about her cousin's family and saying that they were her own uncles?

She walked over and sat next to Zhao Yufeng, "Aunt, Meng Jiao is getting married. Have you told your aunt and uncle?"

Zhao Yufeng, "No, we didn't know Meng Jiao asked us to come here because of this."

Cao's father and mother were a little confused. Cao Yang whispered to Ma Mengjiao, "Isn't she your distant relative? Why is she your cousin?"

Ma Mengjiao's heart beat very fast. She felt like she had been caught lying. She pretended to be calm and said, "It doesn't matter who we are. What happened between us has already happened."

Cao Yang, "............"

Cao's mother asked with a smile, "How many brothers and sisters does your mother-in-law have?"

Zhao Yufeng, "I am the fourth of four siblings, with an older sister and two older brothers."

At this time, Gu's mother and Su's mother came in from the backyard with a basket of vegetables. After all, they were relatives, so Gu's mother came over to say hello.

"Aunt, have you finished picking the vegetables?" Zhao Yufeng took a look.

Mother Gu said, "Now that we've picked the fruits, you guys can talk about yourselves and don't bother with an old lady like me."

Cao's mother asked with a smile, "Are you Aunt Meng Jiao?"

Mother Gu said, "Yes, I am Aunt Meng Jiao, and her mother is my youngest niece."

Cao's mother: "Oh, is that so?"

At this point, no matter how dumb Cao Yang was, he could see what was going on. He asked Ma Mengjiao, "So, the owner of this villa is your cousin?"

Ma Mengjiao looks like you just figured out this problem.

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

Cao Yang, "Isn't he your uncle?"

"My father is her uncle." Zhao Nannan added.

Good, good, she guessed it right. Ma Mengjiao really used her cousin's family to brag in front of outsiders to save face.

Cao's mother glanced at Cao Yang. She wanted to lose her temper but couldn't find a reason to do so, especially outside.

The parents of both parties continued to discuss the marriage. Cao Yang stood up to go to the bathroom and motioned Ma Mengjiao to follow him.

When they reached the restroom, Cao Yang asked, "Why didn't you tell me that the owner of this house is your cousin?"

Ma Mengjiao said, "I didn't say he was my uncle. Besides, what does this have to do with our marriage?"

"You are marrying me, not my cousin. And what's the matter with my cousin? Our two families have a good relationship."

Cao Yang was very angry because he couldn't say what was in his heart. He said, "Okay, okay, let's go back."

Ma Mengjiao knew that this day would come sooner or later, but she didn't expect it to come so soon. She thought it would come after marriage at some point. But it didn't matter, the marriage was settled anyway.

The parents of both sides had come to the time to discuss the betrothal gift. Zhao Yufeng spoke up, "My cousin's family gave 11,000 yuan as a betrothal gift when marrying off their daughter or son."

"We don't want much, just take 11,000."

Cao's mother was speechless for a moment. What were these daughters-in-law like? A college student, a diplomat, and a CCTV host.

Her daughter is already pregnant, yet she still wants so much!

"I know that you guys earn tens of millions a year. This money is a drop in the bucket for you." Zhao Yufeng added.

It's hard to decide whether to accept or not accept this.

Cao's father touched his nose, which was a sign of guilt. Cao's mother smiled and said, "It's fine."

The matter has been settled.

Both parents took their children out for dinner.

When Cao's mother got home, she said, "Son, I don't know what to say about your daughter-in-law. She talks about my cousin as if she were my real uncle. She is so dear to me."

No matter what the relationship is, a difference of one courtesy name makes the relationship far apart.
