Chapter 26: Dowry, I want to take it away as soon as I say goodbye
Jiang Xiangxiang rolled her eyes rudely. Did she use a lot of force just now? Ye Meiping screamed as if her mother had died. She really didn't find it offensive. She was convinced.
Since Jiang Rourou entered the room, her sight has been on Lu Jianshen with an infatuated look in her eyes. But when she heard Ye Meiping's "Ah", her expression changed immediately.
After all, they will be relatives in the future, so how can she talk like that? If her mother behaves like this, Lu Jianshen will think that their family is very impolite. No, no.
Jiang Rourou was standing not far behind Ye Meiping. After listening to what she said, she couldn't help but nudge her, as a reminder that she was going to marry Lu Jianshen, and didn't want to be looked down upon because of this kind of thing. She couldn't tolerate that.
Ye Meiping glared at her, feeling extremely angry, but she couldn't do anything to her. She could only comfort herself again and again that she had raised her daughter, and even if there were thousands of faults in her, she would have to accept it. Looking at Jiang Rourou's current state, if she really married Lu Jianshen, she would probably devote all her attention to him in the future.
As for me, her mother, I'm afraid she will forget about me.
Ye Meiping: "Okay, if you want to get married, then marry me. Anyway, as a mother, nothing I say counts, and she won't listen. It's better to shut up as soon as possible."
Chunhua: "It's OK if you have this awareness. When you are old, you should stop meddling in other people's business and live your own life. Let the young people deal with their own affairs."
Ye Meiping: "You!"
If she didn't have to plot against Lu Jianshen, she would have kicked Chunhua and Jiang Xiangxiang out without a second thought. Neither of them were good people. When would it be their turn to call the shots in her family?
Thinking of this, Ye Meiping couldn't help but glare at Jiang Xiangxiang fiercely. It was all this damn girl's fault. If it weren't for her, things wouldn't have gotten to this point.
If she had known earlier, she should have killed her completely when she was born. Then, there wouldn't be the problem today. Why would she still need to make such calculations?
Just thinking about it makes me angry, and I wish I could slap her hard twice to vent my anger.
When Jiang Xiangxiang saw her expression, he couldn't help but roll his eyes at her. Fortunately, the original owner had passed away long ago, otherwise, he would have been bullied to death by her.
Being a mother to someone else is so bad that people who don't know would think that Jiang Xiangxiang had dug up her family's ancestral graves. Otherwise, how could there be so many deep hatreds?
Jiang Xiangxiang didn't want to get into unnecessary entanglement with her, nor did she want to expose her image in front of Lu Jianshen, so she directly shifted her gaze: "Comrade Lu, have you set the date?"
Lu Jianshen nodded and said, "I'm here just to propose marriage. If you don't have any objection, we can get engaged in three days. At that time, the relatives here can come to our house and get to know each other. In addition, I have sent a telegram to apply for the marriage report. If nothing goes wrong, it will be available in five days. Then we can fill out the marriage application form and wait for the approval from the superiors, and then we can get the marriage certificate."
Jiang Xiangxiang: "Marriage certificate?"
Are there marriage certificates in this era? She seemed to have seen it somewhere. The marriage certificate at that time seemed to be just a piece of paper, similar to a certificate.
However, no matter what, as long as it is legally effective, the rest doesn't matter.
Ye Meiping: "What marriage certificate? You can get a broken one anytime. Don't be so anxious. I'd say we can just make do with it. And the boy from the Lu family, how much do you plan to give as a betrothal gift? After all, I've raised her for so many years. You can't let me waste my time. You have to give her money, and give more."
Lu Jianshen: "Of course, three turns and one ring, and 299 yuan of betrothal gifts, I will prepare everything."
Since they were going to get married, he didn't want to let Jiang Xiangxiang down. Of course he had to prepare everything. Although it wasn't much, it was a thoughtful gesture.
Ye Meiping's eyes lit up instantly. She didn't expect that the Lu family had some money. Nowadays, marrying off a girl usually costs at most 50 yuan. If any family dared to ask for a 100 yuan gift, they would be criticized and accused of selling their daughter.
She didn't expect Lu Jianshen to be so generous. He not only wanted to give a betrothal gift, but also three turns and one ring. For the sake of these things, she had to agree.
Ye Meiping's mind was filled with thoughts about how after Jiang Rourou got married, all these things would be hers. The money would be hers, and the things would be hers, too. She could keep them for her own use.
Jiang Xiangxiang took a look at her greedy expression and said directly: "When the time comes, just give me the betrothal gifts and other things directly. There is no need to rush to buy them. I will see after I get married. Your money is not blown by the wind. We will live together in the future, so of course we have to live frugally."
Ye Meiping was anxious: "Jiang Xiangxiang, what nonsense are you talking about? What is given to you is given to me. Don't even think about taking a penny of the betrothal gift away with you."
Jiang Xiangxiang said coolly: "Really?"
Ye Meiping was frightened by her eyes and a little scared, but if she just let it go and did nothing, she felt that she would be at a disadvantage and it would be inappropriate.
Jiang Rourou tried to smooth things over again: "Mom, this is all for the future, why are you talking about this now? Don't you have to cook? Go and do it quickly, everyone is waiting."
When Ye Meiping heard her say this, she quickly stood up and walked towards the kitchen. Rourou was right. Anything she said now was empty talk. The real thing was to quickly take down Lu Jianshen.
Looking at Jiang Xiangxiang's expression, I knew that she would not agree with me.
From this point of view, Lu Jianshen himself is a rare good son-in-law. No matter whether he is willing or not, as long as Rourou marries him, everything will be fine.
It doesn't matter if Tian Xiu'e doesn't want to, I've never heard of parents in this world who can control their children. As long as everything goes smoothly, it's only a matter of time before she wins over Lu Jianshen. As for Tian Xiu'e, who cares what she thinks? If she doesn't want to, she can just keep it to herself.
Jiang Xiangxiang was a little surprised to see her actually taking something to the kitchen. This was a little abnormal. Ye Meiping hated her so much, and she hadn't been polite to her these past few days. How could she take the initiative to cook?
What kind of evil are they planning to do? Seeing Jiang Rourou's obviously expectant look, Jiang Xiangxiang didn't know what to say. With their IQs, the two of them are really not suitable for doing bad things. People can see it at a glance. At least, that's how she is.
Jiang Xiangxiang glanced at Lu Jianshen calmly. He heard that Lu Jianshen was already in a high position at such a young age. He would not be unable to see through such a simple trick.
