The Huo family.
Li Xiangyun watched as Huo Jianguo left with Daya.
She was very pleased; it seemed the matter had been settled.
"Erhua, you must talk to your older brother. Our family will not let Niu Cuicui suffer."
"Although Jianguo is a second-time bride, he will not shortchange Cuicui on any amount due."
Niu Erhua liked Li Xiangyun's straightforwardness.
Aunt Niu Er couldn't stop smiling.
It seems there's no doubt that Cui Cui's affair is true.
We still need to have a serious talk with my older brother.
Niu Cuicui and the two children were already familiar with each other.
Huo Jianguo said to Niu Cuicui, "Cuicui, go back and talk to your parents. If your father still disagrees, I'll go with you. What do you think?"
Niu Cuicui waved her hands repeatedly: "No, you absolutely can't go. If you go, my father will only think it's even worse."
"He's a very old-fashioned person. I'll have a good talk with him when I get back."
"I'll have my aunt tell you then, and maybe my dad will agree."
Huo Jianguo nodded.
"This is something we should both face together; you're leaving to face your father alone..."
Niu Cuicui smiled; her smile was sweet and lovely.
"It's alright, I'll talk to him properly. My dad should agree. Just wait to come to my house to propose!"
Niu Cuicui twisted two fingers together, a little shyly asking, "How much dowry are you planning to give me?"
Huo Jianguo: "I'll try my best to satisfy your father's wishes!"
Niu Cuicui held the money in her hand and gave it to Huo Jianguo.
"Take it! Just in case my dad agrees."
"What will you do if you don't have money to propose marriage? My father is asking for a lot of dowry."
"You need to be mentally prepared."
Huo Jianguo laughed and asked, "How many could there be?"
Nowadays, a decent dowry for getting a wife is around fifty yuan.
I've basically never seen one for 100 yuan.
The bride price for the third brother's wife was only three hundred yuan.
"Don't worry, if it's not enough, I'll go earn more. Don't worry, I definitely won't let you suffer!"
Niu Cuicui nodded: "Alright, you should go back now! It's not good to stay any longer, go back quickly."
"I'll go back and talk to my dad in a bit."
Huo Jianguo left with his two children, turning back to look at them every few steps.
Niu Cuicui was overjoyed.
As soon as Huo Jianguo returned, Niu Erhua asked with a grin, "How was Jianguo?"
Huo Jianguo nodded: "Cui Cui agreed, but it might not be so easy with Uncle Niu."
Aunt Niu laughed and said, "That's easy. I'll go back and talk to him. But my brother is just very stubborn."
"Xiangyun, my brother is asking for a lot of dowry, so you'd better be prepared."
Li Xiangyun nodded: "How much can he ask for?"
As long as it's not too excessive, it's fine.
Their third son only received a dowry of 300 yuan.
Surely they can't ask for a thousand or eight hundred?
“Erhua, let me tell you, the bride price in our family’s third son’s family is only three hundred. You and your brother should talk to him properly. It can’t be more than the third son’s family’s.”
"What else can we do with Ningning? It hasn't even been that long yet."
Niu Erhua waved her hand: "Don't worry about that, I know I won't let your family have any conflicts."
But Li Xiangyun only said that Yun Ningyan's bride price was three hundred.
But Zhang Hongying's also costs thirty yuan.
Zhang Hongying was also sitting next to Yun Ningyan.
"Mother, my second brother's wife's dowry is only thirty yuan."
Li Xiangyun slapped her thigh: "Then this matter is going to be difficult!"
Niu Erhua smiled and said, "Let's talk about it when I get back. It's really more than what the second brother's family has. You can just give it to them privately. Isn't that simple?"
Niu Erhua left after she finished speaking.
The mother and child were left alone, looking at each other.
Li Xiangyun simply stopped thinking about it and decided to deal with it later.
"Boss, go and tidy up your room."
"Throw away all the things that Wang Cuihong left behind."
"Don't let people see it and get upset."
Huo Jianguo nodded: "Okay, I understand."
Huo Jianguo took out the money: "Mom, this is the money that Lao San (Third Brother) earned when he took us to hunt wild boar. It's all for you."
"If that's not enough, I'll ask the third brother to take me up the mountain."
Li Xiangyun took the money: "Okay, I'll keep it for you first, and I'll give it to you after you get married."
"Mother doesn't want your money! Mother has money."
Huo Jianguo: "Mom, I'm telling you to keep this so you can give it as a dowry later, not because I'm afraid you'll spend it."
Li Xiangyun chuckled.
"I know, don't worry. Even if you're my mother, I still wouldn't want to waste you."
"Go ahead! I'll keep an eye on those two and tidy up your room properly!"
Niu Erhua went straight to Niu Dahua after returning home.
Despite her earnest attempts to persuade him, Niu Dahua maintained his disagreement.
Niu Cuicui was furious. She cried and said, "I just think he's a good man. I want to marry him. Today he even gave me five hundred yuan, saying it was money he had saved up."
"Think about it, if he wasn't sincere, would he have given me those five hundred dollars?"
"Dad, if I asked you for five hundred yuan, would you give it to me?"
Niu Dahua was speechless.
"Where's the money? Show it to me."
Niu Dahua asked, his eyes wide.
Niu Cuicui: "There's too much money, I don't dare to return it to him."
Niu Dahua.
Niu Erhua: "Brother, putting everything else aside, when you were pursuing my sister-in-law, you could give her five hundred yuan, but you wouldn't even part with five mao, would you!"
"Doesn't this prove that Huo Jianguo is sincere towards Cuicui?"
"Aren't you afraid that your daughter will have a bad future and blame you?"
