Chapter 50: Gift and Dowry

Such a big thing as announcing the marriage would definitely not escape the ears of others.

Everyone knows what this means.

Xiao Qingru and Xu Muzhou have been dating for several months, so it is normal for them to get married now.

After all, some people can decide to get married after just one meeting, and they have dragged it out long enough.

Besides, Xu Muzhou is young, so it would be appropriate to delay it a little longer.

Because of the particularity of his profession, everyone naturally believed that getting married and having children was Xu Muzhou's most important thing at the moment.

The Xiao family had not said when they would get married, and everyone was worried about Xu Muzhou, thinking that the Xiao family had some concerns and were delaying their marriage.

Now that they are finally getting married, for some reason, everyone feels happy for Xu Muzhou.

Everyone was guessing how much dowry the Xu family would give to the new daughter-in-law, and how much dowry the Xiao family would give to their daughter.

The conditions of both families are perfect, and Xiao Qingru will have to serve her parents-in-law in the future. I think her life will be very comfortable after marriage.

The Xu family also acted quickly. After hearing that their son had reported his marriage, they called the Xiao family the next day to discuss the issue of the bride price with Xiao's father and mother.

The others all went to work, leaving only Mother Xiao at home.

She had discussed the matter of the bride price with her husband, and now she had a clear idea in her mind.

"The wedding can be as simple as possible. We don't care about those empty things. As long as the couple is happy, we will be at ease."

"The wedding can be simple, but the betrothal gift can be saved, and the three transfers and one response must be included."

"If you have it yourself, why waste the money?"

After hearing what Xiao's mother said, Xu's mother said, "Then buy her a camera. I saw some young people in Beijing using this camera. It's very fashionable. They can also use it to take pictures of performances as souvenirs."

This is a good idea. Xiao's mother agreed and said, "Let's do it this way."

"In addition to the camera, we will give you another 2,000 yuan as a gift. Once Xiaozhou gets the house application, we will also be responsible for the furniture. Mother-in-law, do you think this is okay?"

Two thousand yuan is not enough. If I gave more, Mr. Xiao would definitely have some opinions.

Xiao's mother nodded and said, "The Xiao family will pay for the wedding banquet. We will let them return to Beijing for the New Year this year. You will have to worry about how to arrange it there."

Hearing that her son and daughter-in-law could return to Beijing this year, Xu's mother was overjoyed.

In the first year of marriage, she thought that her daughter-in-law might stay in the northwest, and it would be her turn to go to Beijing next year.

He smiled and said, "In the future, when Xiaozhou and Qingru are there, we will have to trouble you to take care of them. We are far away from home and can only be hands-off managers."

"We are all family. No matter what troubles you have, come over once Xiao Xu has finished the formalities. The sooner you can finish the work, the sooner we can feel at ease."

"My child's father and I think so too. When the children get married, our mission will be accomplished."

"Children are debts. When the couple has children, we will have to continue to worry about them."

“Being a parent means you have to worry about everything.”

“…”

Both sides are open and honest. There is nothing to hide. Everything is laid out in the open and made clear.

After talking about the bride price, Xiao's mother mentioned the dowry.

"Qingru has been paid for her own wages. When they got married, Lao Xiao and I gave them 2,000 yuan so that they could use it to build their family."

The Xu family was in charge of how much dowry the Xiao family would give, "Our starting point is all for their little family."

After finishing the business, the call ended.

Cameras are easy to buy these days and anyone can get one.

Xu's father and mother planned to find a way to get one from Beijing and bring it to the northwest.

If you buy it in Beijing, you can only spend money to ask someone to bring one from Shanghai.

I heard that Seagull brand is the right choice, but it's expensive, about one thousand yuan.

But as long as they can successfully marry their daughter-in-law home, they are willing to spend any amount of money.

The betrothal gift has been agreed upon, and the procedures on Xu Muzhou's side have been completed, so they can get married immediately.

I heard that the Xu family gave 2,000 yuan as a betrothal gift and also wanted to buy a camera for Xiao Qingru. Everyone in the courtyard was extremely jealous.

"Xiao Qingru's family conditions are there, what's two thousand yuan? Marrying her is a great deal!"

"That's right. With such a powerful father-in-law, Xu Muzhou will have a bright future. They would probably be willing to give him more than 1,000 yuan, let alone 2,000 yuan."

"Even if the Xu family is a two-worker family, 1,000 yuan should be enough to bankrupt them, right?"

"The pilot's allowance is high, and Xu Muzhou will be able to earn back the money spent on the wedding later, so let's not worry about the family."

"If you ask me, Xiao Qingru has a good life. When she was young, she relied on her family. After she got married, she relied on her husband. I have never seen her suffer."

"She also has a job in the art troupe. I'm so jealous."

"It's also a skill to be able to reincarnate."

"I don't know how Jiang Chuan will react. Xiao Qingru was engaged to him before, and now they are getting married. Will he feel bad?"

"He's already married, why is he still feeling bad?"

"I still remember the scene when he and Du Wanqiu got married. It was so funny."

"Du Wanqiu is very honest. If she wants to remarry, that's fine! But how can she hide it from the Zhang family? That's also her husband's family."

"She lost face at the wedding, and now she can't go out. I have to make fun of her."

"There may be something wrong with the relationship between the couple. I see that Jiang Chuan and Du Wanqiu haven't smiled since they got married."

"It's his own choice, let him laugh."

“…”

When Du Wanqiu heard from Mrs. Wang that Xiao Qingru had 2,000 yuan as a betrothal gift, she became so jealous that her eyes turned red.

Two thousand yuan, anyone can earn that in a lifetime!

If you go to the countryside to get married, you'll be lucky if you have a little money.

Even in the city, there are only a few that can gather together to make a noise.

Why is the Xu family so generous to Xiao Qingru!

Looking at her demeanor, she is very delicate and efficient at work. Her mother serves her three meals a day at home. This kind of person is the material for being a wife.

The Xu family didn't marry a daughter-in-law, they actually brought home an ancestor.

It is said that Xu Muzhou will have to serve Xiao Qingru in the future!

Suddenly I remembered that when I got married to Jiangchuan, I not only didn't have a betrothal gift, but also lost the two thousand yuan I had.

Although Jiang Chuan gives her ten yuan every month, the money is also spent on household expenses.

Just think about it, it’s such a huge loss!

If she could take down Jiangchuan, she would be in big trouble!

Du Wanqiu secretly encouraged herself and decided to try again tonight.

She wanted to give Jiang Chuan a child and take everything from the Jiang family.

Of course she was really disappointed.
