"It's better to get married sooner rather than later. It will bring more happiness to our village if it's done sooner!"
…
Everyone was talking at once on the ox cart, and Chang Meili didn't want to pay any attention.
But when she heard the word "bride price", she seemed to think of something instantly.
Chang Meili narrowed her eyes, and suddenly gave Chang Suisui a sinister look.
I don’t know if it’s because her malice is too obvious, it’s hard for Chang Suisui not to notice it.
She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. It seemed that the lady was trying to cause trouble again.
Chang Suisui's lips curled up slightly and he gave her a meaningful smile in return.
It sounds very provocative.
Chang Meili's face immediately became uglier, but she quickly put on her composure.
"Actually... I also want to marry Brother Jianguo as soon as possible, but... my cousin wants three turns and one ring, 200 yuan, and they also want to repair the house... It's hard for me to say..."
As soon as she said this, almost everyone on the ox cart, except Chang Suisui and Xie Xiaohua, gasped.
"Oh my god, this is a lot of betrothal gifts! Three turns and one bell, this is a top-notch item in our village, plus two hundred yuan and the money to repair the house, what a grand ceremony!"
"That's a bicycle, a sewing machine, a radio, and a watch. Wow... The Xie family is really well-off. I should have introduced my cousin's daughter to him earlier..."
"That's right. This is a lot of money. There aren't many families in our village who can afford this. Although life is still acceptable after building a country, it will empty our family's savings!"
"When I got married, I only had two quilts and a pair of thermoses. I never dared to think about these things."
"That's right. I remember when the Li family got married two years ago, the betrothal gift was just a bicycle, about a hundred yuan!"
…
Xie Xiaohua, who was sitting on the side, listened to the noisy discussions around her and secretly cursed Chang Meili in her heart for having a mental problem.
After she made such a fuss, can Chang Suisui's betrothal gift still be negotiated?
Now that the publicity has been released, how can her mother still have the nerve to deduct money from Xie Yu?
Thinking of this, Xie Xiaohua reached out to pinch Chang Meili, signaling her not to continue this topic.
Or find a way to recycle it.
As a result, as soon as she stretched out her hand, the ox cart shook violently. Xie Xiaohua failed to control her strength and pinched Chang Meili, causing her to howl.
"oops!--"
Her eyes suddenly turned red, as if she had been bullied.
Now Xie Xiaohua was even more annoyed. It turned out that a vixen like Chang Meili was good for nothing except seducing people!
Chang Meili glanced at Xie Xiaohua and naturally didn't take her action seriously. She thought she didn't hold it firmly enough.
She immediately pretended to be considerate and held Xie Xiaohua's arm, "Xiaohua, this ox cart is a bit bumpy, hold on tight, don't get hurt, otherwise I won't be able to explain to your brother."
Xie Xiaohua: “…”
She will really thank you!
The aunt beside them was obviously discerning. Seeing the two of them loving each other, she immediately praised: "Xiaohua, your sister-in-law is so considerate, your brother is really blessed!"
"That's right. Look at how thoughtful and considerate little Chang Zhiqing is. She takes good care of Xiaohua like her own sister. It's hard to find a sister-in-law like her!"
"That's right. Little Chang Zhiqing is not only good-looking, but also kind-hearted. Xiaohua, you must learn from your sister-in-law and be a good daughter-in-law."
…
Chang Meili listened to everyone's praise, and her originally unhappy mood instantly improved.
Yes, this is the effect she wanted.
Chang Meili saw that everyone had a good impression of her, so she took advantage of the situation and wanted to give Chang Suisui a fatal blow.
She chuckled and continued, "I also want to marry into the Xie family as soon as possible, but Brother Jianguo's family is not doing well right now, so they offered so much as a gift..."
Everyone then suddenly remembered the astonishing bride price when Chang Suisui and Xie Yu got married.
"Chang Zhiqing, the dowry you want is really high. I heard that only marriages in the city can get such a high dowry. This is the first time in our village!"
An old lady sitting at the front of the ox cart spoke while waving a palm-leaf fan, her tone containing some inquiry and gossip.
"That's right. Who can easily come up with this kind of money these days? To be honest, Chang Zhiqing is handsome and educated, so he dares to ask for it."
Another auntie continued the conversation with a playful smile on her face, glancing at Chang Suisui from time to time.
"Tsk tsk, if you ask me, the amount of the betrothal gift depends on the opinions of the two families. Chang Zhiqing, don't be blinded by the money. Find someone who understands you."
As soon as these words were spoken, the aunties around looked at each other sideways, whispered to each other, and a subtle atmosphere filled the air.
Chang Suisui listened to their performance and smiled calmly, "The betrothal gift that the Xie family wants to give me is all earned by Xie Yu himself during his years of military service. Even if my fiancé is rich, I can't be his father, right?"
After she finished speaking, she turned her gaze to Chang Meili, "As for my cousin, you aunts don't have to worry. She doesn't want anything, and she can be promised to several families."
The crowd eating melons: "!!!"
This Chang Zhiqing is really bold!
Previously, the affair between Chang Meili and Zhao Hang was a hot topic in the village, and then news spread in the village that Xie Jianguo was going to marry Chang Meili.
After hearing this, they also wanted to eat the melons very much, but since they were from the village chief's house, no matter how brave they were, they would restrain themselves.
In addition, the village chief was a decent man, so they wondered if what happened between Zhao Hang and Chang Meili was just a misunderstanding.
Now that these words came out of Chang Suisui's mouth, they all became like badger in the field, eating the melons like crazy!
They wanted to worship Chang Suisui, hoping that she would reveal some more big news.
Chang Meili didn't expect that Chang Suisui could change the situation with just a few words.
Especially when she saw the aunties and grandmas around her giving her strange looks, she could no longer sit still.
"Chang Sui Sui! Is this how you accuse me?!" Chang Meili gritted her teeth viciously, "It's fine that you accused me before, but now... now in front of so many people..."
Chang Suisui rolled his eyes and said, "I falsely accused you? Come on, come on, tell me what I falsely accused you of. We'll be in town soon, go to the police station and sue me!"
When Chang Meili heard this, her eyes lit up as if she had discovered a new continent.
Yes! She can sue the police, saying Chang Suisui is slandering her!
As long as they can't find evidence, she is slandered!
When the time comes, she will make Chang Suisui pay the price!
Chang Suisui looked at Chang Meili's eyes rolling around, and a mocking arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Oh, by the way, you'd better go to the hospital again and let them check your body..."
