Chapter 230 Deliberately showing off in front of her
When she married Wang Xuejiao, the betrothal gift given by the Pei family was less than a quarter of that given by the family in the courtyard.
At that time, all her parents received were two loads of millet and two quilts, and the betrothal gift was even less.
"Mom, you are too biased."
"When I got married to my second brother's family, I never saw so much betrothal gifts."
"Now that the third brother is getting married, you prepared so many things for him without telling us."
"So the third brother's second-married daughter-in-law is your biological daughter-in-law, and the second brother's wife and I are just grass, not worth much?"
Liu Wanmei looked at these things and felt as if her heart was stabbed.
She looked at Pei's mother with a serious look, demanding an explanation from her.
Mother Pei raised her eyes, frowned, and said, "Old man, you really misunderstood..."
Liu Wanmei's face was extremely dark. She didn't give Pei's mother a chance to speak at all. She lost her temper at Pei's mother, "Mom, I misunderstood. Everything is laid out here. Do you think we are blind? You are biased towards the sea!"
"We have to make this clear. You can either make up for our betrothal gift or don't look for us for your retirement. Look for your beloved third brother's family instead!"
Mother Pei sighed heavily, her eyes full of disappointment and helplessness.
After Liu Wanmei finished speaking, she said calmly, "Third Brother prepared all these things for his wedding by himself. I didn't give him a single cent."
"Ah..." Liu Wanmei was surprised. After a moment, she laughed and said with sarcasm on her face, "Mom, you are really good at maintaining family harmony! Why? You can come up with such an excuse to fool me and Wang Xuejiao."
"The third brother has three children to support. He has only been back for a short time and has been taking medicine all the time. He has not done any work at all. Where does he get so much money?"
"Stop arguing, woman!" Pei Zhenguo, who had just returned from outside, walked into the yard, grabbed Liu Wanmei, and said, "This is indeed the money that Third Brother found a way to get himself."
"He has a friend who works at the Red Brick Factory. I went with him to borrow it yesterday."
"..." Liu Wanmei was completely embarrassed and punched Pei Zhenguo, "You bastard, you didn't even tell me about this in advance!"
After all the fuss, it turned out that the clown was herself.
Mother Pei shook her head helplessly.
"Huaiyuan, you have borrowed so much money, how are you going to pay it back in the future?"
After Pei Zhenguo pulled Liu Wanmei back to her room, Pei's mother asked worriedly.
Pei Huaiyuan gave his mother a confident smile, "Mom, I haven't retired yet. I get service fees every month, and I'll be able to pay it back soon."
He had no intention of telling his mother that he actually had shares in the red brick factory.
This story starts from when he sent Pei Ankang and the others back.
When he was sending them back that time, he encountered a murder case.
The younger brother wanted to murder his older brother, saying that his older brother had money but didn't let him spend it.
Why are we all poor, but you, my brother, are rich?
Even after he became rich, he still didn't help him.
My brother was helpless. It wasn’t that he didn’t help, but that his help was useless.
His brother's family were like vampires, and they came to ask him for money every few days.
After giving them money, they become lazy and eat less.
His brother also got into the bad habit of gambling.
Then he refused his request to borrow money, and his brother became resentful.
Say, if we die, we die together.
He has no money anyway, so it doesn't matter if he dies.
His brother was fighting with him, and when he was at a disadvantage, Pei Huaiyuan passed by.
Rescued my brother.
After being rescued, he discovered that the brother was his former classmate Xu Hu.
Xu Hu wanted to thank him and give him money, but he refused.
Xu Hu disagreed, saying that he was about to build a red brick factory and he would be included in the shares.
Pei Huaiyuan still refused.
Xu Hu said that if he refused again, they would no longer be classmates. Without saying anything, he wrote a simple agreement for him.
Pei Huaiyuan was offered 20% of the shares, but he refused.
Xu Hu asked in return, am I destined not to know about this 20% stake?
Pei Huaiyuan was surprised by his calculation, and finally said that if he really had to give it, he would only take 5% at most.
Xu Hu agreed.
He didn't take it to heart.
I think Xu Hu was just joking.
He hasn't been in touch with him in these years.
Until a few days ago, he met Xu Hu.
Xu Hu was very happy to see him. He took him to the red brick factory and told him about its operating conditions over the years.
The red brick factory has been profitable in recent years, and except for the forfeited funds, the income is quite good every year.
Over the years, he put all of his 5% shares into his passbook.
If he needs money, he can just go and get it.
“……” Pei Huaiyuan felt like he had received a windfall.
Xu Hu told him that he had more than 5,000 yuan in his passbook.
As he spoke, he looked as if he was sorry, and said that although he had given him a share of so much money, the part he didn't get back was even more, otherwise he would have at least 10,000 yuan in his savings account.
"..." Pei Huaiyuan.
He didn't do anything and yet he became a millionaire?
After Xu Hu heard that he had returned from the army, he asked him to do other business together.
If asked, he said he felt he was a lucky star.
Thanks to him, his life is smooth and his business is good.
Pei Huaiyuan said he would think about it.
He didn't bother to be polite with him and took the passbook he gave him.
After being back for such a long time, Pei Huaiyuan deeply felt the changes in society and realized the importance of money.
Having seen Xu Hu being murdered by his brother for money, he knew very well that money should not be shown to the public.
After getting the money, he told Pei Zhenguo that he had borrowed it.
Pei Zhenguo had no doubts.
After listening to this, Pei's mother looked at the betrothal gifts he had prepared and wanted to say that maybe he could give less, but she swallowed the words back.
Forget it, this money was not prepared by her.
Why is she talking so much?
*
The day for giving the bride price soon arrived.
When loads of things were carried to the Gu family, the whole village was shocked.
Is the Pei family so powerful?
Wouldn't it cost hundreds of dollars to prepare these things?
I heard that Pei Huaiyuan also prepared a huge red envelope as an engagement gift.
Two days ago, Pei Haonan and a few other kids told Lin Yunchu that his father was preparing a lot of gifts.
Lin Yunchu thought that most of the things were the same as those of other people. He never expected that there were so many things prepared for the restoration, more than three times more than that of other people.
What surprised her even more was that in addition to these things, Pei Huaiyuan gave her a gift of two thousand and eight.
This number shocked people who are still struggling on the poverty line.
Pei Huaiyuan is really willing to spend a lot of money!
Other girls in their village have never received such a dowry.
A few days ago, Gong Cuiyun received a betrothal gift of 500 yuan and was envied by the villagers for several days.
Everyone thought that the Gong family was already very prestigious, but they didn't expect that the Gu family's prestige would be doubled again.
Lin Yunchu took the gift money and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
After her mother was ridiculed by Gong Cuiyun, she took out all the money in her savings book and prepared for her marriage.
It doesn’t matter if Pei Huaiyuan has no money, because she has money.
She had already planned to live a good life with him and raise their children well, so she wouldn't calculate so much.
But when she saw Pei Huaiyuan bringing so many things to send off the birthday, she was still very happy in her heart, the kind of happiness that comes from being valued.
It doesn’t matter whether a man has money or not. The key is whether he is willing to spend money on you.
Pei Huaiyuan's action made her feel both delicate and relaxed.
This man is really nice.

When Gong Cuiyun found out that Pei Huaiyuan's betrothal gift amounted to 2,008 yuan in cash, not to mention anything else, she was furious.
"They did it on purpose, to show off in front of me!"
"Pei Huaiyuan, Lin Yunchu deliberately gave more money than my betrothal gift, it's really too much!"
Gong Cuiyun said angrily.
But soon she started laughing. Pei Huaiyuan obviously didn't have that much money, and he was just trying to make himself look rich. Lin Yunchu would still have a hard time after getting married.
But she still felt very uncomfortable, extremely uncomfortable.
Is there no one who can come and deal with Lin Yunchu and Pei Huaiyuan?
Gong Cuiyun narrowed her brows and quickly thought of someone.
