Chapter 76 The Fourth Prince's Marriage
last month.
Before his mother changed her mind or changed her attitude.
They agreed to go to the Li family to propose marriage and give a dowry of 2,000!
It was Zhao Fengxiu who made the decision with gritted teeth, but then suddenly changed her mind.
Before the change of heart.
Liu Jiancheng and Li Mengfei's marriage is already a done deal.
They were so happy that they didn't go home all night; they went out drinking.
Intoxicated and seductive, they had a wild time in the middle of nowhere. Afterwards, Li Mengfei was scared and called him a bastard!
But Liu Jiancheng had no idea what was wrong with him; he just couldn't control himself.
Thinking that her mother would go to the Li family to propose marriage in a few days, the two of them didn't take it seriously.
With Liu Jiancheng already having three children, Liu Jianguo, the second son of the Liu family, also became anxious. Li Mengfei was well aware of this, and their relationship was consensual.
I want to get engaged, married, and then get pregnant as soon as possible!
But who knew the accident would happen so quickly!
Zhao Fengxiu changed her mind, and Liu Jiancheng and Li Mengfei have been arguing ever since.
Liu Jiancheng couldn't believe it and kept backing away, "Impossible! I was drunk, that's not necessarily true!"
If that's the case, his mother would definitely beat him to death!
Li Mengfei was shocked, her eyes instantly turning red with anger, and she cursed, "You bastard!"
After hurling insults, Li Mengfei went on another suicide attempt.
He said he wanted to die with his child!
He died in front of Liu Jiancheng.
After several rounds of back and forth, they finally got to the bottom of it.
After leaving the alley, Liu Jiancheng instructed, "Junjie, take Mengfei back for me, and remember to keep an eye on the situation in Lijia Village."
I went back to my mom and said, "This time, we have to get it done!"
Zhou Junjie nodded, "Don't worry!"
Liu Jiancheng looked at Li Mengfei, who was blushing, and asked, "How much dowry did that man's family ask for from your family, Li Mengfei?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Mengfei's expression changed.
"Why are you asking that! He is him, and you are you! How can he be compared to you?"
Liu Jiancheng: "Okay, okay, I was wrong, I won't ask anymore."
Li Mengfei glanced at Zhou Junjie, and after receiving his gaze, she lowered her head and said, "Jiancheng, actually my family has already thought it through. That man just gave... 500 yuan as a bride price, and nothing else."
I feel that my feelings for you, while more than that, are not quite that high.
Let's not talk about anything else for now, a dowry of one thousand is fine. If that's okay, let's get married at the end of this month! I can't wait.
Remember, whatever you do, don't let your mom know, or she'll bully me. Can you bear that?
Liu Jiancheng held her wrist tenderly, "I know, I'll keep quiet no matter what."
After parting ways.
Liu Jiancheng returned home and saw Zhao Fengxiu sitting there with her legs crossed. She had a strange look in her eyes and was staring at him.
"Mom, someone covered my shift today, so..."
Zhao Fengxiu scoffed coldly, "What does this have to do with me?"
Liu Jiancheng suddenly became alert and asked, "Mom, you didn't follow me today, did you? I have something to tell you."
Zhao Fengxiu said, "Spit it out. I also have something to tell you."
"Mom! That's wonderful! I want to marry Mengfei! I can't wait any longer! We were supposed to propose last month, but it's been delayed until now!"
"Really? Let's put this matter aside for now. Tell me your reasons."
"The reason... there's no reason, I just can't wait!"
"Why can't you wait? If you can't wait, then you'll marry into her family. Her family has already made up their minds, right? Then just pack your bags and go!"
"Mom! Why do you keep bringing this up? Oh dear, there's no way I'd let Mengfei marry into the family! Mengfei isn't like Third Brother's girlfriend, how could I let her marry into the family? Where would I put my face? Besides, Mengfei's family is willing to lower their requirements!"
Putting everything else aside, all I ask for is a dowry of 1,000 yuan, and we can get married at the end of the month!
Now that it's mid-month, Zhao Fengxiu is preparing to collect household expenses from her children.
We received it around this time last month as well.
Zhao Fengxiu seemed to be thinking about something, and said "oh" without responding.
Liu Jiancheng grew anxious, pulled up a stool and sat down, saying, "Mom! It's only a thousand! Just agree to it already, okay? I went to see Mengfei today, and she's already on a blind date with a man from another village! That man only gave the Li family five hundred in betrothal gifts!"
After saying that, Liu Jiancheng was stunned and suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing.
Zhao Fengxiu looked up in surprise, "Oh! It's only five hundred! Then why should our family give a thousand? Don't bring up feelings again! Feelings are worthless!"
Liu Jiancheng was getting impatient.
He and Li Mengfei both gave in, so why is Mom still so difficult to deal with!
"Mom! Why are you so stubborn? It's just a thousand, and the Li family hasn't even asked to buy a house or a bicycle! They haven't said anything else!"
"Stop talking, let's see what your second and third brothers think tonight!" Seeing that he was impatient, Zhao Fengxiu was too lazy to waste any more words and got up to leave.
When Liu Jiancheng spoke again, Zhao Fengxiu ignored him.
That night.
On the dinner table, there was an extra pound of meat, tofu, and green vegetables, making it a delicious four-dish meal with soup.
Liu Jianguo and the others ate quickly with their chopsticks, but Liu Jiancheng was the only one who was distracted.
After they had almost finished eating, Liu Jiancheng immediately said, "Mom! I absolutely have to marry Li Mengfei this time!"
The words left everyone at the table stunned.
Zhao Fengxiu raised an eyebrow and glanced at her other children, especially Liu Jianguo and Lin Jingyi.
"Second brother, what does your family think? Fourth brother is getting married and doesn't want anything, just a thousand yuan in betrothal gifts. Should you give it to him?"
Upon hearing this, before Lin Jingyi could even speak, Liu Jianguo abruptly put down his chopsticks and said with dissatisfaction, "One thousand? What makes you think that? I only spent about five hundred when I married Jingyi, and now, just a few years later, you want double that?"
Liu Jiancheng said, "You know that things have changed in a few years! Besides, Second Sister-in-law doesn't know as much as Mengfei."
Liu Jianguo, "You!"
Lin Jingyi glanced at Zhao Fengxiu's face and, knowing that she wanted Zhao Fengxiu to speak up, said, "Fourth brother! That's true, but the Li family's conditions aren't that great."
All things considered, a dowry of six or seven hundred is acceptable. If you also prepare other things, it should be around a thousand.
If the bride price is 1,000 yuan directly, then the mother will have to pay for all the other gifts and other formalities again, right?
Besides, the Li family has caused trouble twice already. That brat has no manners or etiquette. No matter how much she knows, it's useless! She's so arrogant and aloof, she doesn't even know what she's made of!
The second time her family came to cause trouble, Mom had already lost patience with you. The Li family suddenly lowered their demands; could there be... something fishy going on?
No one else could see it, nor did they know how to analyze it.
Lin Jingyi was the one who understood perfectly, and she immediately grasped the essence of what Zhao Fengxiu wanted!
After he finished speaking, Liu Jianbang and the others stared wide-eyed at Liu Jiancheng, full of doubt.
Liu Jianguo: "Yes, fourth brother, what's the reason? If you don't tell us, we won't support you doing this. Besides, Mom's money is Mom's money. If you spend more, we'll have less."
Liu Jianmei said, "Everyone is contributing their household expenses properly without any plans. Third Brother is still considering marrying into the family. Unlike you, who just asks for a thousand. I don't agree to that either!"
Liu Jiangong...
The crowd started talking all at once, pressuring him to speak.
Zhao Fengxiu also spoke up, "If you don't give me a more compelling reason, you can either marry into my family or find a way to marry me yourself!"
After hearing this, Liu Jiancheng could no longer hold back and gritted his teeth, saying, "Fine! I'll talk!"
"..."
Liu Jiancheng revealed the whole story, leaving everyone present stunned.
