"Siqing, come and sit down, let's discuss your marriage." Gu Dakai waved his hand with a smile, and looked at Gu Siqing, showing a rare kind smile.
Bai Cuiyan and her grandparents sat next to her without saying a word.
Gu Siqing sat down, knowing what they were going to say. Just as before, Gu Dakai said, "Your parents died early. After you get married, we will be your family. Your betrothal gift should be given to our family. If your husband treats you badly in the future, we can still support you. So, you don't need to take the 1888 betrothal gift with you."
"As for the dowry, it's also simple. We've already made an agreement with the Shen family. You'll marry in with your two children. It just so happens that the Shen family is almost extinct now. After you marry in, Dabao and Xiaobao will be the children of the Shen family."
"They didn't have a father anyway, so it would be nice if they had one in the future. The Shen family is rich, and your husband is a veteran, so the pension from the government must be quite a lot."
"Your mother-in-law is a university professor, and your father-in-law has even reached the position of military commander. You will definitely not have to worry about food and clothing in the future, and you won't have to prepare a dowry."
Gu Siqing's expression was very cold: "Oh." It doesn't matter, you don't have to give it to me, I will take it back myself.
"Also, it's time to transfer the ownership of this house. Transfer it to your cousin. He is an adult now. Otherwise, after you get married, your husband will divide the house in half." Gu Dakai said.
Gu Siqing said, "The house won't be transferred. You can live in it first, but the name must be mine."
As soon as she said this, her grandparents and Bai Cuiyan became unhappy instantly.
Bai Cuiyan said angrily, "How could you be so stupid? If you transfer the ownership, the house will belong to our Gu family. If you don't, when you get married, you have to give half of the house to your husband! We are your family, your mother's family. You will have to rely on us for support in the future!"
Grandpa also said: "That's right, giving away half of the house is ridiculous!"
Grandma nodded as well. "You're young and don't understand. Men are ultimately not as reliable as your wife's family. Besides, your husband is like that... He definitely won't treat you as a true family member."
Gu Siqing's lips curled up into a sarcastic smile. They had used this excuse to ask her to transfer the house.
"Grandpa, grandma, uncle, aunt, this house is the inheritance left by my parents. It belongs to me personally. It is my pre-marital property. I will not give him half of it. Only the property after marriage will be divided." Gu Siqing said.
The Gu family members were a little confused. Is this true?
None of them had ever been to school. The only two students who were good at studying were Gu Siqing and Gu Wanrou. However, in school, no one would talk about the division of marital property for no reason.
After all, in this era, people get married to live together. Even if the partner is not very good, they will endure it if they can, and the divorce rate is very low.
Few people actually get divorced, and not many people educate themselves about the division of property in divorce.
"You just live in this house and you can take the betrothal gift, but I won't transfer the ownership of the house. You also said that a man can't be relied upon without his wife's family. After all, Dabao and Xiaobao are not his biological children. I still have to leave a way out for the children. I will keep this house for my two children in the future." Gu Siqing said.
When they heard this, they immediately became anxious. In their opinion, Dabao and Xiaobao were outsiders. They were originally bastards with unknown biological fathers, not to mention that they would soon have the surname Shen.
They didn't care whether the Shen family treated Dabao and Xiaobao as their own children or not. They only knew that the house could only belong to the Gu family! How could they give it to Dabao and Xiaobao?
However, Gu Dakai still winked, appeased the others, and then said with a smile: "Okay, then let's do as you say."
Anyway, the 1,888 betrothal gift belongs to their family. This amount of money is enough to buy an apartment, so it would be the same if they just bought it directly.
As for this house... I can just deal with Gu Siqing later. This niece has always been easy to talk to.
"By the way, sister, on my wedding day, I will wear the necklace left by my mother. Where did you put that necklace?" Gu Siqing asked.
When Gu Wanrou heard that she wanted a necklace, she was a little reluctant to take it out and said, "Siqing, are you going to wear that necklace to get married? It doesn't look very nice. Didn't the Shen family send a set of jewelry? You should wear the one sent by the Shen family when the time comes, otherwise they might think you don't value it..."
"No, they won't care about that. I'm going to wear my mother's necklace when I get married. I'll let my mother see me getting married. I think she'll be happy too."
As he spoke, Gu Siqing looked at her with tears in his eyes, "Sister, I gave you my place in college, and I'm going to marry in your place. I've also left the betrothal gift. You can't be so unwilling to return my mother's necklace to me, right?"
Gu Dakai quickly winked at Gu Wanrou: Isn't it just a necklace? Give it to her quickly?
They are now afraid that Gu Siqing will go back on his word.
The betrothal gift has been received. If Gu Siqing refuses to marry, then Gu Wanrou will have to marry him.
Gu Wanrou was definitely unwilling. Although the Shen family was well-off, the man was a cripple after all and was completely useless.
If she married him, she would just be a nanny for a useless person. She's a college student! She doesn't want to be a nanny for a useless person!
Only a brainless person like Gu Siqing is suitable to go!
"Oh, then I'll get it right away." Gu Wanrou said reluctantly.
She slowly stood up to get the necklace. When she came back, Gu Siqing had already heard Gu Dakai's description of the general process of the wedding day.
Because her husband had difficulty walking, there was no rehearsal, so the wedding was scheduled to be held near their home, and she would be picked up and taken home directly at that time.
Gu Wanrou returned the necklace to Gu Siqing reluctantly. Gu Siqing took it and said, "I don't feel well. I need to have a good rest. Dabao and Xiaobao, come back to your room with Mommy."
Gu Siqing picked up a baby in each hand and went back to her room.
When I held the two children, I found that they were both very light.
I never had a good meal at Gu’s house.
She felt distressed again.
She entered the room and closed the door. Bai Cuiyan said sarcastically, "She doesn't look uncomfortable at all. She just picked up the two children. I think she just doesn't want to cook!"
Grandma said disdainfully, "You're such an ungrateful person, you only know how to be lazy. Wanrou, go cook."
Gu Wanrou was also unhappy. Although she avoided marrying a cripple, she was afraid that she would be the only one cooking at home from now on!
Fortunately, it was just a holiday and she usually lived on campus.
When she makes money in the future, she must move out!
I don't want to serve this family that favors boys over girls!
