Xie Jianguo had complicated thoughts. He certainly knew that the reason their family lived well was because of Xie Yu's allowance.
If he directly told his father that he didn't agree with his father giving a dowry, his father would definitely think he was too inhuman.
But he and Chang Meili were about to get married, and if his father prepared a dowry for Xie Yu, he would probably have less stuff when he got married.
After all, he knew what the situation was in their family.
Xie Jianguo hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse directly. Instead, he asked tentatively: "Dad, how much do you plan to prepare for your uncle?"
As soon as he said this, the other people in the family all looked at Xie Gui.
Especially Zhao Xiulan and Xie Xiaohua.
The two of them were just busy trying to stop Xie Gui from preparing a betrothal gift for Xie Yu, but now think about it, he hasn't even said what kind of betrothal gift he wants to prepare.
They just refused directly, which was indeed a bit disrespectful to Xie Gui.
If he only planned to give Xie Yu a betrothal gift of ten or twenty yuan, that would be fine.
As Zhao Xiulan thought about this, she couldn't help but look at Xie Jianguo who was standing beside her.
As expected of his son, he is so smart!
Before Zhao Xiulan could withdraw her gaze of praise, she heard Xie Gui's words.
"Three transfers and one ring must be enough, plus two hundred yuan for the betrothal gift, and he has to rebuild his house, that should be enough."
Over the years, Xie Yu has sent a lot of allowance to his family every month.
Even if all these things were added together, they would not be as much as the allowance Xie Yu mailed to me.
But the family had limited savings, so he could only do his best to buy it for him.
"You're crazy! Is it necessary for a paralytic to be so extravagant when marrying a wife? Three turns and one ring, two hundred yuan as a betrothal gift, is he going to marry a fairy?! I'm telling you, Xie Gui! I don't agree!"
When Zhao Xiulan heard what he said, she became furious.
She slammed the table and stood up, her voice so sharp that it seemed to pierce the night sky.
When she thought about the fact that most of the family’s money would be used to prepare Xie Yu’s wedding, it was like cutting off her flesh!
Her face was full of anger and she glared at Xie Gui fiercely.
Xie Xiaohua's brows also knotted. She didn't expect that her father would be so willing to give up Xie Yu.
This would not have been a big deal if Xie Yu had not injured his leg and was still in the army.
After all, the family can count on him.
But now...
He is just a paraplegic, why does he deserve so much money from their family?
When Xie Xiaohua thought of Xie Yu, a trace of contempt and disdain flashed across his eyes. "Dad, you really gave too much. No wonder mom is angry. Even if you marry a wife in the city, you don't ask for so much in gifts. Not to mention building a house for them."
Although Xie Jianguo didn't say anything, the expression on his face clearly showed his disagreement.
So when Zhao Xiulan and Xie Xiaohua challenged Xie Gui, he did not stop them but chose to remain silent.
After all, if he really handled the money as his father said, by the time he and Chang Meili got married, he might not even be able to raise enough money for three turns and one ring.
Seeing this, Xie Liye couldn't help but support Xie Gui, "Mom, that was originally the money earned by my uncle..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Xiulan glared at her fiercely.
When Xie Liye wanted to say something, Xie Xiaohua simply reached out and covered his mouth.
Xie Gui looked at this scene, and the disappointment in his heart surged like a tide.
He knew that Zhao Xiulan was petty, stingy and selfish.
But he didn't expect that she was so clueless on such a major issue.
What makes him even more heartbroken are his two adult children.
These two people who received the most care from Xie Yu showed no gratitude towards him at all.
Xie Gui suddenly felt that he was a complete failure as a human being. He was the head of the village, but he couldn't even handle his own household chores.
He sighed deeply, and his eyes became a little numb, as if he wanted to hide all his dissatisfaction and disappointment in these eyes.
"I have already made a decision on this matter. I am not going to discuss it with you, but to inform you."
There was an unprecedented determination and firmness in his voice.
When Zhao Xiulan heard this, she immediately fell to the ground like a lit firecracker and started rolling around.
"Xie Gui! If you dare to give these gifts to Xie Yu, I will never forgive you!"
Xie Gui looked at Zhao Xiulan with an even colder look in his eyes. "If you insist on making trouble, you can't live like this anymore!"
His voice was so cold that Zhao Xiulan froze. "Do you regret marrying me? I was not the one you liked in the first place. If I hadn't accidentally fallen into the water, you would never have married me!"
Her tears and saliva flew as she cried directly at Xie Gui.
Originally, Zhao Xiulan thought that Xie Gui would explain something to her, but she didn't expect that he would just stand there in silence, and the look in his eyes when he looked at her was so numb that it was frightening.
"Xie Gui, you bastard! I gave birth to two sons for you, and yet you're still thinking about someone else! I won't live any longer!"
As Zhao Xiulan spoke, she pretended to be in deep thought and was about to bang her head against the wall.
Fortunately, Xie Xiaohua, who was standing by, had good eyesight and quickly stopped Zhao Xiulan who was about to hit her head against the wall.
She immediately looked at Xie Gui and advised, "Dad! Please stop talking. It's not easy for my mother. Over the years, she has been taking care of everything for this family. Even if she has no credit, she has worked hard..."
“…”
Xie Gui felt a splitting headache and rubbed his temples, as if he wanted to crush all his troubles in these rough big hands.
Seeing that Xie Gui was still not speaking, Zhao Xiulan started to make a scene again, "Xiaohua, please let me go. I can't live anymore. Oh, my life, why is it so miserable... Why did I find such an unfaithful man!"
Xie Gui looked at Zhao Xiulan with eyes full of fatigue and helplessness.
Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore, "That's enough! If you keep screaming and howling, go back to your mother's house!"
There was an unprecedented harshness and irritation in his voice.
Zhao Xiulan was stunned, tears streaming down her face, and she didn't dare to cry anymore.
Xie Gui took a deep breath and said, "This matter is settled. You'd better not have any more evil thoughts."
After saying this, he left this quarrelsome home without looking back, leaving behind only silence and a few stunned people in the room.
It was not until Xie Gui's figure completely disappeared that Xie Jianguo took the initiative to speak, "Mom, do we really want Dad to prepare so much betrothal gifts for my uncle? Then... my marriage with Meili..."
Although he didn't finish his words, he knew that Zhao Xiulan would definitely understand.
Zhao Xiulan sat on the ground, feeling a little unwell.
She has always been in charge of the family's money. If she really follows what Xie Gui said, it will be absolutely impossible for her family to hold a decent wedding for Xie Jianguo...
Zhao Xiulan thought that as long as she made a fuss, he would give in, but looking at his expression just now, this matter might be difficult to handle.
Xie Gui usually looks like a good-natured guy who just takes things as they come, but he is very stubborn about some things!
Zhao Xiulan pondered for a moment, and suddenly she seemed to think of something...
