Chapter 99 Show Your Sincerity
Jian Yiwei went out for a while, and soon the young soldier came back carrying a bunk bed, and took away the bunk bed that was split into two.
The Wang family was very dissatisfied with the Luo family's sudden increase in the bride price.
But this is the Jian family's business after all, and they can't do anything except chatter a few times.
What's more, they didn't ask them to borrow money.
"Brother, I think we should not spoil them. Two thousand yuan is enough to marry two daughters-in-law in our place. Does he really think that the Luo family is a wealthy family? They ask for a betrothal gift of two thousand yuan right away. It's a pity they can even say that." Jian Zhonglan curled her lips.
Jian Zhongkang frowned and didn't respond.
The wedding is going to be held in two days and all the relatives are coming.
It has come to this.
You can't give up marrying your daughter-in-law just for a few hundred dollars, right?!
They can afford to lose face, but their son cannot afford to lose face!
"Brother, human greed is insatiable. If you give in to them this time, what will happen in the future? He wants it today, he wants it tomorrow, when will it end? You don't think about yourself, you don't think about Yiwei, the Luo family still has several sons!" Jian Zhonglan became more and more excited as she spoke.
"We can't let them keep sucking blood from Yiwei, right?!"
Jian Zhongkang and Wang Xiujuan were both honest people without any ulterior motives. After hearing what Jian Zhonglan said, they were at a loss for a moment.
They like Luo Zhenzhu as their daughter-in-law, but the Luo family's betrothal gift...
It's indeed a bit high.
For those who got married together this time, most of the betrothal gifts were 990 yuan, in the hope of a long-lasting good fortune.
Twelve thousand of them, to be honest, is quite a lot.
They thought the Luo family would be satisfied.
Who knew...
"Zhongkang, your younger sister is right. We can't indulge their bad habits." Seeing that her son and daughter-in-law were still hesitating, Mao Chunqiao couldn't stand it anymore.
When Mao Chunqiao heard that the bride price was 1,200 yuan, she cried out "Oh my God". Now it has been raised to 2,000 yuan, which is enough to kill her.
"Mom, Yiwei and his wife are going to have their wedding in two days, so don't make things more complicated." Jian Zhongliang glanced at Jian Yiwei, who was looking sad, and began to persuade her.
"Second brother, what do you mean by causing trouble? Aren't mother and I doing this for the good of eldest brother and Yiwei?" Jian Zhonglan was unhappy.
He has no son, so he doesn't have to worry about the bride price.
"The Luo family dares to ask for 2,000 today, and 2,500 in two days. Will you give it to them or not?"
The half-closed door creaked and was pushed open from the outside.
"What two thousand?" Luo Zhenzhu frowned and looked at Jian Yiwei, with a hint of uncertainty in her tone.
Jian Yiwei pursed his lips and was about to speak.
"Your parents asked for a betrothal gift of 2,000 yuan." Wang's sister-in-law spoke first with a cold face.
Luo Zhenzhu looked at Jian Yiwei intently, wanting to hear what he had to say.
Jian Yiwei frowned and nodded.
"Uncle, aunt, don't worry. What we agreed on before is what it is. I will talk to my parents. You don't have to worry about it." Luo Zhenzhu turned her head to look at Jian Zhongkang and Wang Xiujuan, who had worried looks on their faces, and said in a firm tone.
"Pearl, it's okay. We have enough. As long as you two are happy, we can do anything..." Wang Xiujuan was a little unhappy at first, but after hearing what her future daughter-in-law said, the breath that was blocked in her chest disappeared instantly.
"Yes! Zhenzhu, don't say that. It's not easy for your parents to raise you..." Jian Zhongkang also comforted her softly.
They spent two thousand yuan to get a good daughter-in-law, so they made a profit no matter what.
"Uncle, aunt, stop talking. Since this is the betrothal gift to me, I have the final say. Let's just do as before." Luo Zhenzhu smiled.
Her future parents-in-law were afraid that she would be embarrassed, so they were willing to swallow this loss. It was a sign of their magnanimity.
But she couldn't let her future in-laws suffer the consequences just because they were generous.
Luo Zhenzhu was about to turn around when she suddenly remembered the purpose of her visit.
She smiled and stuffed the sweater and scarf in her hands into the arms of Jian Qingyi, who was watching the show on the side. "This is knitted for you by your future sister-in-law. You are not allowed to dislike it."
"I dare not, I dare not." Jian Qingyi had a frightened expression.
"You're smart!" Luo Zhenzhu raised her chin in a proud and arrogant manner.
"Hey! And mine too." Jian Liqiu also hurriedly stuffed the sweater and scarf in her hand into Jian Qingyi's arms, "Don't be disgusted by it."
"My future sister-in-law and I spent over a week weaving this."
"Our eldest brother doesn't have any." Jian Liqiu also specifically stated.
"Brother, you're no good. You've been with my future sister-in-law for so long, but you couldn't even trick her into giving you a sweater." Jian Qingyi turned around and teased Jian Yiwei, who seemed to be relieved.
"You unlucky child, what are you talking about!" Jian Zhongliang smiled and glared at her.
Jian Zhongkang and Wang Xiujuan couldn't help laughing.
I am also becoming more and more satisfied with this future daughter-in-law.
"Oh, by the way, I also brought gifts for you, go and take a look." Jian Qingyi winked at Jian Liqiu and Luo Zhenzhu.
The two of them immediately smiled, took her arms, and followed her happily.
"Yiwei's wife is quite good. She knows what she's doing." Wang's sister-in-law whispered.
Aunt Wang smiled and nodded.
What I fear most is the kind of person who can't make sense of things and just does whatever his parents say.
As long as her parents in her natal family asked, she would dare to take the money her parents-in-law gave her back to her natal family.
upstairs
The laughter of the three people stopped abruptly the moment they pushed open the door.
Jian Liqiu and Luo Zhenzhu were scared.
Jian Qingyi was speechless.
It's been at least an hour since she went downstairs, and this guy is still sitting here?!
Do you have so much free time?!
"Political Commissar!" Jian Liqiu and Luo Zhenzhu, who had reacted, stood at attention and saluted hurriedly.
The man sitting beside the bed nodded slightly without moving, and obviously had no intention or awareness of leaving.
Jian Liqiu and Luo Zhenzhu stood at the door, not knowing whether to go in or back out.
Seeing that he seemed to have something to say, Jian Qingyi didn't chase him away.
He put down the sweater and scarf in his hand and went to get the gifts for Jian Liqiu and Luo Zhenzhu.
Luo Zhenzhu was the new daughter-in-law, and Jian Qingyi brought her a bright red woolen coat and a bright red down jacket.
Jian Liqiu wore a pink down jacket and an off-white woolen coat.
The man just sat there and watched.
After receiving the gifts, the two did not dare to stay any longer and left quickly.
As soon as the annoying person left, the man opened the luggage bag on the desk.
Private housing title deed...
A stack.
Passbook...
Three books.
Company share certificate...
Five books.
Antiques, calligraphy and painting ownership certificates...
A big pile.
In order to let Jian Qingyi see clearly, he opened them one by one.
"What do you mean? Showing off your wealth?" Jian Qingyi pointed at the pile of things he had opened.
Even though she came from a wealthy family, Jian Qingyi was still a little shocked when she glanced at the pile of things.
The balances in those passbooks alone are enough for many people to eat and drink lavishly for several lifetimes.
"Yi Yi, didn't you say you wanted to find a rich partner? I have money, so please consider me!" The man pushed the things on the bed towards Jian Qingyi.
