Chapter 119 Vanity
Su Nanzhi didn't know that Qin Youliang and his wife had already discovered that the gold was missing, and they still placed suspicion on herself.
These days, except for eating or helping Wu Shulan in the kitchen, Su Nanzhi would go for a walk after dinner.
The target is also very clear, which is the Qin Youliang family.
She didn't go in, but just asked at the door when the money would be paid back.
Naturally, no one paid any attention to him. Qin Youliang and Huang Xiumei were like dead and didn't even go out.
After asking questions every day, Su Nanzhi would return to the village chief's house and stay in Qin Yu's room to read. She spent her time very fully.
Just like the previous few days, Su Nanzhi was helping Wu Shulan in the kitchen when she heard voices coming from the front door.
I originally thought that Qin Dacang and the others had just returned from work.
Just as I walked out of the kitchen, I saw a few strangers standing in the yard looking around.
Su Nanzhi was just about to ask who they were looking for when Wu Shulan, who had come out of the kitchen after her, spoke up.
"Sister Liu, why did you think of coming to my place today?"
Su Nanzhi raised her eyebrows and immediately thought of who this group of people were.
However, if you calculate the time, it seems that Qin Yu had decided to get married just these few days in the previous life.
The person called Mrs. Liu is Liu Shengli's mother Zhou Pandi. Because her husband is the village chief of Dayang Village, others call her by her husband's surname.
Standing next to Zhou Pandi were the matchmaker and Liu Shengli's uncle, aunt and other relatives.
But I didn't see Liu Shengli himself.
Su Nanzhi helped Wu Shulan pour water for a few people, and was confused.
There were footsteps and voices outside the door again.
It was Qin Dacang who had just finished work. Beside him were Liu Shengli, who looked attentive, and Qin Yu, who seemed a little absent-minded.
"My family's Shengli and Xiaoyu have known each other for a while. I thought that since our two children are not young anymore, we decided to set a wedding date."
Zhou Pandi walked up and grabbed Qin Yu's hand, his eyes wide open with smiles.
Liu Shengli, who was standing by, was also very considerate and took the hoe from Qin Dacang's hand and placed it in the corner.
A hint of satisfaction flashed in Qin Dacang's eyes.
Although he didn't like Liu Shengli very much and thought he was too slick like his father, the old fox, but if he became his son-in-law, this slickness would not be unacceptable.
When Liu Shengli heard what his mother said, he put down his hoe and began to show his loyalty.
"If Xiaoyu marries me in the future, I will definitely not let her be bullied. I will work hard in the fields and let her live a good life."
As soon as these words were spoken, his relatives all began to agree, saying how well-matched Liu Shengli and Qin Yu were.
These words made Qin Dacang and his family laugh heartily.
For a moment, it became a boasting conversation between the two families, with each family telling each other how good and excellent the other's children were, and also saying that their own children were not bad either.
Even Qin Yu, who was never very smiling, softened his attitude after Liu Shengli's brainwashing assurances.
She was a little unhappy because Liu Shengli had not returned her private money.
But when Qin Yu heard her fiancé talking about the future, she couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted.
"Aunt Zhou, are you here to set the date today? Then why don't you see any betrothal gifts?"
Su Nanzhi's words instantly broke the originally warm atmosphere.
Qin Yu's family all looked at the Liu family.
In the countryside, the two families usually determine the dowry and gift when getting engaged.
The Liu family suddenly came to the Qin family with so many people without telling anyone and said they wanted to get engaged.
That’s fine, they said they wanted to get married, but they didn’t prepare any betrothal gifts.
Zhou Pandi glared at Su Nanzhi, then pulled Qin Yu aside and said kindly, "Our two families are well-matched. The betrothal gifts and dowry are just formalities. We have known each other for a long time, so we can completely skip this step."
As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Dacang and Wu Shulan's expressions changed immediately.
Doesn’t this mean that the Liu family has not prepared a betrothal gift?
No matter how poor a family in the village is, they will prepare a betrothal gift when marrying a daughter-in-law.
Thinking of this, their faces became particularly ugly.
However, Ji Yingying on the side rolled her eyes and spoke with a smile.
"What Aunt Zhou said makes sense. Even if his family asked for a betrothal gift of 500, you, Mom and Dad, are not the kind of people who would ask for a betrothal gift from your daughter. You must have prepared a dowry of the same value for your sister-in-law."
The more Ji Yingying spoke, the more she felt she was right, and she even took the opportunity to flatter her in-laws.
"Besides, isn't the government calling on us to do everything simply now?"
With all the flattery and compliments, Qin Dacang and Wu Shulan felt a little embarrassed for a moment, and they looked at Ji Yingying with very unfriendly eyes.
If the Liu family members were not still here, they would all want to ask Ji Yingying if she was stupid.
Ji Yingying was not stupid, of course, but she knew that even if the Liu family gave her a larger dowry, she would not gain any advantage.
On the contrary, the more betrothal gifts the Liu family gives, the more dowry Qin Yu's parents-in-law will give. Wouldn't that mean less money will be left for them?
Su Nanzhi glanced at Ji Yingying, who was full of pride, and sneered.
"Sister-in-law Lei, you seem to be very knowledgeable when you talk about others, but why did you ask for such a high gift from Brother Lei when you got married?"
"I don't know how you can have the nerve to say that."
Su Nanzhi's last words were not spoken loudly, but Ji Yingying heard them clearly. She was so angry that her face turned red and she reached out to hit Su Nanzhi.
But as soon as she stretched out her hand, Qin Dacang stopped her.
"stop."
"Old Third, go back to your room."
Although she was angry, seeing Qin Dacang's ashen face, Ji Yingying could only swallow her anger and return to her room.
Wu Shulan was also unhappy in her heart, but she still forced a smile on her face.
"Sister Liu, if you haven't prepared anything, it won't look good when the two children get married."
"People who don't know would think something is wrong between our two families."
The smile on Zhou Pandi's face instantly disappeared, and he said with a stern face, "Whoever dares to say such things, I will tear their skin apart."
As if she realized her attitude was a bit overbearing, she looked at Qin Yu and said, "It's Xiaoyu and Shengli who are getting married. It would be better if we ask these young people for their opinions."
Everyone's eyes fell on Qin Yu, and Qin Yu reflexively looked towards his parents.
Her mother looked anxious and her father looked very angry, as if she would agree.
But if it was before, she might really agree...
However, after Su Nanzhi's subtle influence over the past few days, she realized that she could get married without a dowry, but she couldn't get married without even an attitude.
only……
Seeing the hesitation on Qin Yu's face, Liu Shengli immediately became anxious.
He didn't even bother to look at the eyes directed at him.
"Xiaoyu, if you really want a betrothal gift before you marry me, I will lend it to you even if I have to borrow it."
Speaking of this, Liu Shengli's expression became a little ugly. He thought Qin Yu would be less of a worry, but he didn't expect that he was also a troublesome person.
Women are so vain.
