No matter how worried Kong's father and mother were, since their daughter agreed, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and accept this in-law.
Looking at the bright side, after marrying into this family, as long as she gets the protection of her sister-in-law, her daughter can do whatever she wants in the Gu family.
Then the two families sat together to discuss the bride price and dowry.
The Gu family offered a high betrothal gift of 188, as well as three major items: a bicycle, a watch, a radio, and some other fruits, meat and snacks.
Seeing that the Gu family was so wealthy, the Kong family was not stingy either. They directly announced that no matter how much betrothal gift the Gu family gave, they would give it as a dowry to their daughter, and finally gave their daughter another 200 yuan as a dowry.
After these trivial matters were discussed, Gu Hanqiu took a sip of the warm water handed to him by Ji Heng and said slowly:
"Now that we've talked about the marriage, let's talk about other things."
"Besides the wedding, what else is there?"
Gu Shui didn't understand.
"It's about work."
But after Gu Hanqiu finished speaking, he suddenly understood.
When it comes to work, all the Kong family members perk up.
"I promised my brother before that as long as he separated from the family and got married, I would arrange a job for him."
The Kong family didn't expect that there would be such an unexpected surprise.
Who would want to suffer when they can enjoy happiness?
Originally Kong Xue was ready to be a peasant woman, but unexpectedly, her fiancé wanted to go to the city to work.
This means that she doesn't have to go out!
But before Kong Xue and the Kong family could be happy for a while, Gu Hanqiu dropped another big bomb.
"But... this was what I thought before, but now I've changed my mind."
Having said that, Gu Hanqiu deliberately looked at the expressions of Gu Shui and the Kong family.
Seeing that even though they were a little disappointed, they didn't ask any questions, he nodded in satisfaction and stopped keeping them in suspense.
"I plan to take them back to Jing City and find them a job there."
The hearts of the people, which had just fallen into the abyss, immediately flew up again.
Ji Heng, who was standing aside as a tool, watched Gu Hanqiu lift everyone's heart up and down, and then throw it down and lift it up again, having a lot of fun with the ups and downs.
Um!
It's fucking style!
"Sister!"
"Don't breathe so hard next time, or you'll get beaten!"
Gu Shui suddenly stood up from behind Gu Hanqiu, his eyes full of resentment, and spoke in a faint voice into her ear.
Facing Gu Shui's prank, Gu Hanqiu turned his head, raised his fist and hit him backhanded.
"Being beaten?"
"Who dares to hit me?"
"I think you deserve a beating!"
Ignoring his brother who was screaming with his hands covering his chin, Gu Hanqiu looked at Kong Xue and asked:
"That's what I thought. What do you think?"
"If you don't want to go, I will find a job for my brother as I promised before, so you two can live here peacefully."
Without waiting for Kong Xue to think about it, her mother made the decision for her.
"Comrade Gu, our Xiaoxue is willing."
"Why would they stay in this small county for so long? Let them follow you to Beijing to develop their careers. It's the capital of the country, and it's better than staying in a small county anyway."
There is no need to choose at all. You must be willing to follow Gu Hanqiu to Beijing!
Only fools would be willing to stay in the county town.
In fact, Kong Xue was also willing to follow her sister-in-law to Beijing, but she was a little reluctant to leave her parents and family.
This place is thousands of miles away from Beijing. If I really go to Beijing, it will be difficult to see my family once in the future.
Parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run.
For the sake of her daughter's future, Confucius' mother would rather endure the pain of missing her daughter.
Ding Mian was quite efficient and came back before lunch.
She told Gu Hanqiu that everything she had asked her to do had been done, and even the place to eat had been booked, which was a state-owned hotel.
Considering that everyone held a high position, Ding Mian thoughtfully booked a private room for them.
Afterwards, Gu Hanqiu and the others had a sumptuous lunch at Kong's house and then left.
Kong Xue is about to leave home for Beijing, so she should give her father and mother some time to spend with their daughter.
I don’t know when we will meet next time!
After leaving the Kong family, Gu Erquan, who had been patient for a long time, immediately asked Gu Hanqiu,
"My daughter, are we really going to Beijing?"
"Will it cause you any trouble?"
"Why don't you just take your brother and sister-in-law with you? I'm an old man, so I'll stay here!"
Oh!
Gu Hanqiu guessed what his father was thinking without even having to think about it.
It's not that he doesn't want to go, he's just being polite and modest.
Believe it or not, if I really say I won’t take him with me, he will start crying immediately.
Gu Hanqiu didn't indulge him and immediately followed his words and said:
"It's indeed a bit troublesome. I'll listen to you and only take my brother and sister-in-law back."
Her father is very good at climbing up the ladder and is very aware of the current situation.
If I give him a good face today, he will dare to go further next time.
When we were kids, I only dealt with him once, and he never dared to jump around in front of me again.
Maybe he also saw the gap between the two and knew that he couldn't beat them, so he just started to play badly.
Anyway, he has never had a status in the Gu family, and he does whatever his mother says.
It's just a change of leadership, no difference.
Besides him, his mother has several other children, but it is different for his daughter, who only has him as her father.
With this calculation, it is more reliable to follow my daughter.
After all, whether from an ethical or legal point of view, the daughter cannot ignore him.
After Gu Erquan understood this truth, he obeyed the woman's orders and never got involved with others.
