Chapter 115: Increase the Bride Price



"Comrade Huang, I have to hurry back now. I can't stay any longer. I'll write to you when I get there."

When Huang Yali heard this, a trace of reluctance flashed in her eyes.

She immediately asked, "You are leaving now, so when can you come back next time?"

Gu Chenxin and Huang Yali walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau. "Comrade Huang, I may not have time to come back to visit my family in the short term. I will definitely come back if I have time."

Although she was reluctant, Huang Yali nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll take you to the train station."

Gu Chenxin looked down at his watch and realized he was almost late. "Comrade Huang, I have to leave right away. Please take care of yourself."

ah……

Huang Yali was not prepared at all.

"Let me take you there."

Gu Chenxin explained, "I probably had ten minutes left when I ran to the train station."

Only then did Huang Yali realize that he had rushed back.

"Well, hurry up then, and don't miss the train."

Before Gu Chenxin left, he took out a jade bracelet and handed it to Huang Yali, "Comrade Huang, I don't know what to give you. This is a jade bracelet I bought in Yun Province. I bought one for you. I hope you like it."

"I really have to go. When I come back, we'll get married. I'll definitely go back and type up the marriage certificate."

"Okay, then be careful on the road."

Huang Yali just stared at Gu Chenxin until his figure completely disappeared from her sight.

She held Xiaoqu sideways and walked towards the door of her home.

Before reaching the door of the house, Zhang Huiyun's voice came from inside the house, "My dear relatives, I have already given your family the betrothal money. Today I came to discuss the wedding date for the children with you."

"Let's discuss the wedding date." Huang Qin's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Of course, the wedding date is easy to discuss, but I heard that your son is infertile. If my daughter Yali marries him, she will be a widow. Look at this betrothal gift..."

Zhang Huiyun immediately understood and nodded, "My dear, how much more do you need?"

"Five thousand."

What!

Huang Yali rushed in immediately after hearing this and asked, "Dad, how could you suddenly change your mind?"

Huang Qin snorted, "I'm not doing this for your own good. I'm just giving you an extra layer of protection."

Huang Yali gave a weak, bitter smile, "Dad, you're not doing this for me, you're doing this for yourself."

"You are trying to extort more money from me so that you can use it as a betrothal gift for my two younger brothers."

"Nonsense!" Huang Qin scolded, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm doing this for you. Their family has problems anyway, so it's no problem for me to ask for a little more betrothal money."

"I disagree."

Huang Qin's face immediately darkened. "What's the point of you disagreeing? I've made up my mind anyway. If you don't agree, then don't marry him."

"Dad, how could you do this? Who would raise the price casually like you do?"

"I just added it, so what? It's just that they are being dishonest."

Huang Yali was so angry that her body trembled. "Okay, then I won't marry you. You give them all the betrothal gifts, okay?"

"Yali...you haven't even married into the Gu family yet, and you've already turned your elbow outward."

"Dad, I'm not being mean, you're just too annoying! There's no such thing as someone like you. If you want five thousand dollars, I'll earn it for you later."

"Impossible! Just add 5,000 yuan today." Huang Qin slapped the table.

Huang Yali said angrily, "Okay! If you insist on 5,000 yuan, then I won't marry you. I want to die of despair rather than be sold by you."

Zhang Huiyun just smiled slightly and said, "My dear relatives, the betrothal gift is not a problem, but what our Gu family wants is your attitude."

"Give our family another 5,000 yuan, and I'll agree."

Zhang Huiyun was about to agree when Huang Yali stopped her, "Aunt Gu, please don't agree. I can't do such a thing anyway. I'll just be in love with Gu Chenxin for the rest of my life and I won't get married."

"You...you're going to piss me off to death." Huang Qin pointed at Huang Yali's nose and yelled, "Why did I give birth to such an unfilial daughter like you?"

Huang Yali retorted, "Dad, we should be reasonable. Anyway, I don't agree."

Huang Qin didn't look at Huang Yali, but at Zhang Huiyun. "My dear, do you agree?"

"Of course I have no problem with that, but I also said that if I want your attitude, as long as you agree, as for the money, we can talk about it."

"That's fine. Then when you bring the betrothal gifts, I will agree to the marriage."

"Okay! Then I'll wait for my son Chen Xin to come back and I'll ask him to come over myself."

"Okay." Huang Qin agreed, "No problem."

Huang Yali was dumbfounded.

"Aunt Gu..."

"Yali, Auntie likes you too, so this matter is settled. Don't be angry with your father anymore."

"Okay, aunt." Huang Yali had no choice but to nod.

Huang Yali sent Zhang Huiyun to the door and said, "Auntie, take care."

After seeing Zhang Huiyun leave, Huang Qin said, "Yali, you said you had to go against me in front of outsiders."

"dad……"

"You are embarrassing yourself. How can I hold my head up in front of my Gu family in the future?"

Huang Qin smiled disapprovingly, "What kind of family are they, the Gu family? Are you afraid of them?"

Huang Yali was speechless and could only say, "Forget it."

She didn't want Huang Qin to ask for more betrothal money from the Gu family, but she was also afraid that Huang Qin might regret it later.

She knew that marriage required a household registration.

Now her household registration is at home.

I heard that Jiang Yao went to university and she moved her household registration to the university.

As long as she is admitted to university, she can also transfer her household registration.

Just thinking about this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Soon, half a year passed in a flash.

Huang Yali took the train to Beijing for the first time to attend the wedding of Jiang Yao and Qiao Yongkang.

"Yaoyao, this is my second time being your bridesmaid."

Jiang Yao sighed helplessly, "Yeah, him. I never thought he'd actually have a wedding."

She pounded her shoulders and said, "Actually, I didn't want to do it, but Mom said that the Gu family hasn't had a wedding in a long time, so we should use Chinese etiquette this time."

"Great! One Western-style wedding and one Chinese-style wedding, it's too perfect."

Jiang Yao puffed up her cheeks. "I'll let you do it twice, are you willing?"

Huang Yali chuckled and said, "I can solve it in one go."

"Oh...Brother said when are you two getting married?"

"Wait until I get into university, then I'll come to Beijing."

Jiang Yao hugged Huang Yali and said, "That's great! I'll have a companion from now on."

"Well, but my grades aren't as good as yours. I don't know if I can pass the exam?"

Jiang Yao patted Huang Yali's hand and asked, "Do you need me to give you some extra lessons?"

"OK!"
