Chapter 120 The Dust Settles



Su's mother's heart trembled, the number she counted was thirty-six.

The average betrothal gift in Fengcheng is 300,000 yuan. After hearing about Huo Shengnian's miserable life story, she thought of asking for 60,000 yuan more to make a total of 36 for good luck.

But she had no idea that the old lady didn't even see her making the number three, but only saw her making the number six, so the old lady automatically raised the betrothal gift to 660,000.

Holding the card that still carried the old lady's body temperature, Su's mother was in a trance for a while.

The old lady was so sincere that she felt a little embarrassed.

After all, before coming here, she had made a mental preparation, that is, after she proposed 360,000, the other party would bargain with her, and the psychological price she could finally accept was the lowest 280,000.

However, all her mental preparation was in vain, as the old lady herself gave a number she had not expected.

"Grandma, it's too much." Su Ruowan smacked her lips, "Huo Shengnian needs to treat his eyes, and he'll need money later."

She had warned her grandmother before, asking her not to give too high a betrothal gift. Her grandmother nodded and said okay, okay. She thought she really knew it.

She now finally understood where Huo Shengnian's habit of showing off his wealth came from.

"That's right, that's right, old lady, you gave too much. Our family can't give Wanwan much dowry." Father Su said, and as he spoke, he bumped his hand into his wife who valued money more than anything else.

Su's mother nodded in silent agreement, but did not speak.

She won't think too much money.

The old lady was a shrewd person. Su's mother didn't say anything, but she accepted the betrothal gift. Moreover, she was very satisfied with the amount of the betrothal gift.

A betrothal gift of 660,000 yuan can make her so happy. It can be seen that Su's mother is not very greedy.

These were just drizzle to her coffin.

Of course, this is also thanks to Huo Shengnian's character who pretends to be blind and pitiful.

I just don’t know, in the future, if the Su family knew that the grandfather and grandson were not miserable at all and were very rich, would they get furious?

However, by that time, the matter was already done and it was difficult to reverse it.

In short, if they are really nice to Wanwan in the future, they can still gain benefits from them through Wanwan. If they just focus on the money, there won’t be any more.

Father Su was very dissatisfied when he saw that Mother Su was so obsessed with money.

After seeing that the old lady and Huo Shengnian didn't care, he didn't force his wife to return the card in front of them.

I don't want to ruin the atmosphere at this moment.

Su's mother was indeed very satisfied with the betrothal gift of 660,000 yuan. Afterwards, she was beaming with joy, making everyone laugh. Moreover, she kept praising Su Ruowan and complimenting her.

In front of the old lady and Huo Shengnian, he told many interesting stories about Su Ruowan's childhood.

Time passed by minute by minute in this pleasant communication.

At half past ten, Huo Shengnian stood up with the help of a cane and said he was going to the airport to pick someone up.

Facing Su's father's doubts, Su Ruowan explained, "Huo Shengnian went to pick up the doctor who treated his eyes."

Father Su suddenly became extremely excited, "Okay, okay."

"Father-in-law, in half an hour, we will set off to have dinner at Yue Restaurant."

"Yue Restaurant? The food there is too expensive. I think the buffet downstairs is good." Father Su didn't want them to spend so much money.

"It's okay. The store is opened by Shengnian's sister and brother-in-law. Don't worry about the cost."

"Grandma, my father and mother are also coming back today." When mentioning his parents, Xiao Guoguo interrupted again.

"Really? Do you know what time they will arrive?" The old lady reached out and hooked the little guy's nose.

Xiao Guoguo shook her head, "I don't know, they didn't tell me, and I can't calculate the time."

"Oh--"

The old lady chuckled, "We can only have dinner now that we're here. Father-in-law, mother-in-law, how about we eat together tonight and meet Shengnian's sister and brother-in-law?"

"No need, old lady." Father Su quickly waved his hand, "You can have a good family gathering tonight, we won't disturb you."

"Yes, yes, ma'am, we won't bother you anymore." Mother Su also cooperated with her husband. She was mainly thinking that after lunch, she had to go to the bank quickly to transfer the money in the card to her name.

She had already discussed all these things with Su Ruowan.

The money given by Xie Qinghui and the betrothal gift given by the Huo family all belonged to her, and were kept for Bai Qing to get married in the future.

As for the three golds that the Huo family gave to Su Ruowan, she didn't think about them anymore.

She was very satisfied with the betrothal gift given by the Huo family.

Even though she just found out that the owner and proprietress of Yue Restaurant were actually Huo Shengnian's sister and brother-in-law, if you calculate it this way, 660,000 is not a lot.

But then she thought again, the owner of Yue Restaurant is Ji, not Huo. Forget it, no matter how long her arms are, she can't reach that side of theirs.

On the contrary, if she is nicer and more polite to Wanwan in the future, she might be able to get more from Wanwan.

In the past, the old men and women in the alley said that it was a blessing for the Su family that Wanwan was picked up and raised by her husband, Mr. Su. This child has a round face and a full forehead. It is obvious that she is a very blessed child.

She was indeed blessed. When she had a physical examination, the doctors said that it would be difficult for her to conceive and that it would be difficult for her to become a mother in this life. However, not long after Su Ruowan was brought home, she miraculously became pregnant.

The couple has little education and it is very hard for them to raise two children.

Life was too hard, and her temper became worse and worse. She couldn't bear to see her son suffer any injustice, so she had to let Su Ruowan suffer all the injustice.

Seeing that the couple were unwilling to have dinner together in the evening, the old lady did not force them.
