"Xiaoyu, don't listen to my uncle's nonsense. No matter what he says, our family will not neglect you. We will give you what you deserve."
"I'll apologize to Dad in person later. If I had known Uncle was so tactless, I wouldn't have told him to come."
Despite Tang Liang's sincerity, Li Xiaoyu was still somewhat unwilling.
“Let’s talk about our own business. Why bring up my dad’s divorce? Even if you want a dowry, we didn’t say anything, did we?”
Tang Liang nodded repeatedly, knowing that his uncle had gone a bit too far with his rambling.
"I'm sorry, I will definitely apologize to Dad properly later."
Thinking that Tang Liang was sincere towards her and that Tang Liang's parents were honest people, Li Xiaoyu could only be patient for the time being.
Regardless of what Tang Liang's uncle says for now, he probably doesn't want Tang Liang to have an easy life. Let Tang Liang explain to his father what will happen next.
Compared to Li Xiaoyu's unhappiness, Li Junsheng was not angry at all. He even said in a serious tone, "As part of Xiaoyu's dowry, I plan to give her a bicycle. If Tang Liang wants to buy a house in the city, we will pay half of the cost!"
"Besides the 'three turns and one sound' that Tang Liang gave us, our family also provided other furniture as dowry, such as wardrobes. Our family is not short of money, and we certainly won't let our daughter suffer."
Tang Dongliang was stunned when he heard about the dowry that Li Junsheng offered.
It's worth noting that the bicycle Li Junsheng gave as a dowry alone was as expensive as the bride price Tang Liang had given him.
Not to mention that he was generous enough to pay half the rent for the house. Including the remaining furniture as part of his dowry, Tang Liang not only didn't lose money, but actually got a good deal!
Li Junsheng continued, "Actually, if Tang Liang could drive a motorcycle or a car, we could provide one as part of his dowry. But he can't, and my daughter can only ride a bicycle, so we can only provide a bicycle as part of her dowry."
This was the first time Tang Dongliang had ever seen someone spend so much on their daughter's wedding, and he was completely stunned.
After regaining his senses, he felt that the matter was unbelievable.
"Really? You're really willing to pay a loss to marry off your daughter? How much money do you have to say something like that?"
The extravagance of Li Junsheng's daughter's wedding stunned Tang Liang's parents, as well as his aunt and uncle.
Fang Youcai came to his senses and realized that Li Junsheng had the means to do so. He immediately said to his wife's older brother, "Brother, he runs such a big restaurant. Even if he's not short of money, he wouldn't let his daughter suffer. Don't you believe him?"
Tang Dongliang simply didn't believe it, thinking Li Junsheng was exaggerating. Could a car really be given as part of a dowry so easily? Even his son, who ran a big business, couldn't afford one.
"I just feel like it's too good to be true. Xiaoyu's dad, how big is your restaurant? My son also runs a business in the city, and he only makes a few hundred yuan a month. He can't even afford a car. Is your restaurant bigger than my son's?"
Tang Dongliang looked at Li Junsheng provocatively, deliberately trying to get his attention.
Li Junsheng frowned, just about to say something to Tang Liang's uncle, when Tang Liang's parents hurriedly spoke up to smooth things over!
“In-law, you’re too kind. We can buy the house. These days, there’s no such thing as a dowry. Besides, when my son gets married, he wants to make sure he can provide Xiaoyu with a good life.”
"That's right. Xiaoyu and Tang Liang's marriage will be based on our decision, regardless of what Tang Liang's uncle says."
Tang Liang's parents were honest people. Before they came, they had never thought about the dowry. It was Tang Dongliang who took it upon himself to ask Li Junsheng for the dowry!
The incident involving Tang Dongliang has caused quite a stir, leaving Tang's parents and Li Junsheng looking rather displeased.
One of them seems to be struggling to make ends meet, yet he insists on worrying about his daughter-in-law's dowry.
It's like selling a daughter, but being unwilling to give her a dowry.
Faced with the honest and kind nature of Tang Liang's parents, Li Junsheng smiled and did not offend them.
"I don't mind giving my daughter a dowry. I love my daughter dearly, and giving a dowry is the right thing to do, so you two don't need to say anything more."
Li Junsheng didn't care about money, but his uncle Tang Liang kept trying to get his attention and cause trouble, which Li Junsheng couldn't stand.
They decided to confront Tang Liang's uncle and aunt.
"Tang Liang's uncle also owns a shop. If your son can't afford a car, that's your problem. Is it because your son's shop isn't big enough?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Dongliang's face darkened.
"So how big is your restaurant? Dare to let us see it? How big is it that Tang Liang would quit his job at the state-owned textile factory to work for you, a self-employed individual!"
Tang Liang's aunt chimed in, "That's right. What if Tang Liang's marriage to your daughter doesn't work out? That would be a huge loss. Can you afford to lose the jobs at the state-owned factory?"
These two were clearly on edge, and their statements were contradictory.
If Li Junsheng is considered a self-employed individual, which is inferior to a state-owned factory, then wouldn't their son, who runs his own shop, also be considered a self-employed individual?
Just because their son runs a shop, does that make them more noble than others? It's no worse than a state-owned factory.
"These two are so unreasonable, their words are completely incoherent!"
Lu Ping spoke softly behind Li Junsheng, and Li Junsheng nodded slightly to her.
He thought so too, that Tang Liang's uncle was being too hypocritical!
They were also being unreasonable. Today, Tang Liang and Xiao Yu got engaged, and they were spouting nonsense about what if things didn't work out.
"Let's go. I was originally planning to treat you to a nice meal at a restaurant today. I had someone prepare an engagement banquet for Tang Liang and Xiao Yu."
Li Junsheng stood up and invited Tang Liang's parents, aunt, and uncle to the restaurant.
Tang Dongliang and his wife stood up triumphantly, eager to see just how big Li Junsheng's restaurant really was!
Considering that their home was a bit far from the restaurant and it wouldn't be possible for Tang Liang's parents to walk there, Li Junsheng specially rented two cars to come over.
Qin Yong was already waiting downstairs. He was free today, so he drove the car to the restaurant!
There were two cars; Li Junsheng's family rode in one, while Tang Liang's family squeezed into the other.
Seeing Li Junsheng arrange for someone to drive them to the restaurant, Tang Liang's uncle and aunt became a little suspicious. Could Li Junsheng really be that rich?
Fang Youcai was already complaining about Tang Dongliang and his wife in the car.
"Brother, why do you keep saying such unpleasant things to people? Do you want to prevent Tang Liang from getting married smoothly? If I had known you would act like this, I would have preferred not to have you come at all!"
"Yes, Uncle, why are you comparing yourself to my father-in-law? You two are not even in the same league. You'll behave yourselves once we get to the restaurant."
Tang Liang was a little annoyed, so he turned his head to look out the car window, not wanting to talk to his uncle's family at all!
In the car ahead, where Li Junsheng's family was sitting, Li Guohua was also very dissatisfied with Tang Liang's uncle.
"Dad, who exactly is Tang Liang's uncle? He speaks so rudely and is so arrogant and conceited. Won't Xiaoyu suffer at their hands in the future?!"
Li Junsheng smiled and said nonchalantly, "It's alright. Tang Liang and his parents are reasonable people. Xiaoyu isn't living with her uncle's family, right, Xiaoyu?"
