A word of concern caused chaos and broke everything. He couldn't contact anyone and couldn't see each other day and night. Lin Weiwan couldn't deny that he also had his own great responsibility in taking the risk.

I was too confident because I had the space and weapons. Luckily, the people Fu Qiuxuan brought this time were too weak, so I had Ye Jibai to support me.

"You are too rash. You told me not to believe it, but you went out." Miao Yuxiang naturally knew it.

At this moment, Lin Weiwan was talking about it. He went up and measured it to make sure he was at ease.

Lin Weiwan looked at the bag that Miao Yuxiang had packed out of her room. "Auntie, what are you doing?"

"My eldest son is getting married, so I have packed up all the things in the house and will move to the new house soon.

The wedding is in a week. If the night captain is not free, you should come over to have a drink at the wedding."

As Miao Yuxiang spoke, a festive smile spread across her face.

"Well, I have to go. What are you going to do these days? I'll help you." Lin Weiwan responded with a smile.

In the afternoon, I followed Aunt Miao to carry things to the new house in a cart.

The two were just arranging the kettle, tea tray, bowls and chopsticks when the gate to the courtyard was opened.

A tall, thin man wearing glasses pushed a bicycle into the yard.

Behind him came a girl with a big braid and a blue dress with a white collar.

Miao Yuxiang looked up and saw her son coming back, and a smile immediately appeared on her face.

"Mom, you're here." Lu Aimin saw his mother.

"Well, considering you guys are busy at work, I'll come over to clean up for you first. Everything is ready, so you can just come back and set it up.

Come in, this is your elder brother Ye's house, sister-in-law." Miao Yuxiang introduced.

Lin Weiwan put down the things in her hand and walked to Aunt Miao's side.

"Hello sister-in-law, I'm Lu Aimin, and this is my girlfriend, Hu Xuemei.

"Hello, sister-in-law." Hu Xuemei looked at Lin Weiwan with her eyes widened, such a young and beautiful woman.

"Hello." Lin Weiwan smiled and looked at the two newcomers.

Several people quickly packed up, and Lu Aimin looked left and right and pulled his mother to the west room.

Miao Yuxiang looked at her son in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Mom, I have something to tell you." Lu Aimin felt a little embarrassed.

Miao Yuxiang looked at her son and sat on a stool beside him. "Tell me what's going on."

"Mom, Xuemei's family said that in addition to the three turns and one ring, they also want a 500 yuan betrothal gift."

The more Lu Aimin spoke, the louder his voice became. He didn't expect that the price would go up soon.

"Didn't they say that the betrothal gift would be 200 yuan for three turns and one ring?" Miao Yuxiang was stunned.

Looking at her son, she knew that everything was provided by her husband, except for the 200 yuan gift which was saved by her son himself over the years. Her son had never given her any worries since he was a child.

She also prepared the best things. When she got married, she had nothing, but she prepared everything for her son's wedding.

Whether it is fabrics, cotton, clothes and trousers, or furniture, tables, chairs and cabinets, all of them cost a lot of money.

Now that she was asked to pay a few hundred yuan as a betrothal gift at short notice, she was indeed feeling uncomfortable.

"Xuemei's mother said that after Xuemei got married, she would no longer be able to support the family. There are still younger brothers and sisters at home, and the family would be in trouble without Xuemei.

If there is no additional gift, then Xuemei's income for the first ten years after marriage will have to be given to her parents' family as breastfeeding money, which means they won't care about supporting Xuemei at all."

Lu Aimin spoke in a low voice, his brows furrowed, feeling a little aggrieved.

That's not what I said when I first started dating. At that time, I said that they were both good people and that made them feel at ease as elderly people.

She said that the family was not well off and asked him to take care of the family, so there would be no dowry, and she let the two of them handle it themselves.

"What do you think?" Miao Yuxiang looked at her son.

Lu Aimin looked at the ground and said, "I know it's hard for Xuemei to get married, but Xuemei is really good.

I want to give them the money so that I can live a good life with Xuemei in the future."

Miao Yuxiang saw that her son had fallen in love with Hu Xuemei, "I'll give it to him this time, but what about the future? If he comes to you when he gets into trouble, what will you do?"

Lu Aimin was stunned, "No way."

"Why not? How long will one hundred yuan last them? They changed their minds and went back on their words after making an agreement.

Don't forget that Hu Xuemei has three younger brothers. Do you think they will let you two cash cows go when they go to build a house?"

Miao Yuxiang changed her usual expression and calmly analyzed the situation of the Hu family.

"Mom, it's too harsh to say that." Lu Aimin felt a little uncomfortable hearing his mother describe it that way.

"Now I feel that what I said was harsh, and I feel much sadder afterwards.

You two have a good work and family now, and it won't be a big burden if you have a child in the future. When the child is born, I will take care of him/her, and you just go to work and work well.

But the Hu family is just testing our bottom line. If we agree this time, there will be another time."

Miao Yuxiang looked at her son's expression as she spoke. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, thinking that her words would be in vain.

"Mom, no, it won't happen again or again. At most, we can help take care of her parents when they are not in good health. Xuemei is her daughter after all."

Lu Aimin felt that his mother was overthinking and making the matter too gloomy.

"Since you insist, come tomorrow and I'll give you the money." Miao Yuxiang said no more. Since her son insisted, three hundred yuan, just save some more. There was no need for the mother and son to split over three hundred yuan.

Lin Weiwan put the cup in the cabinet, and Hu Xuemei looked at the neat and orderly Lin Weiwan.

"Sister-in-law, how old are you? You look so young."

Lin Weiwan turned sideways and looked at Hu Xuemei. She had a round face, big eyes, and healthy, rosy skin, which was very much in line with the beauty of that era.

"I am eighteen years old."

Hu Xuemei was surprised. She didn't expect that he was two years younger than her. "How long have you been married, sister-in-law? Do you also live in the courtyard?"

Facing Hu Xuemei, Lin Weiwan smiled and nodded. "Yes, we've been married for more than two months."

"Sister-in-law, you are so lucky. You married a soldier. Unlike us, we only get so little salary a month." Hu Xuemei said enviously.

Lin Weiwan raised his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him. "If you like, you can come. The army holds a social gathering every six months. You should be very popular as a teacher."

Hu Xuemei was stunned. She didn't expect Lin Weiwan to say that.

Lin Weiwan smiled and said, "I was just kidding. If you have sisters at home, you can also go to the social gathering."

Hu Xuemei looked at Lin Weiwan with a somewhat stiff smile, "Sister-in-law is really good at telling jokes. If there is a social gathering next time, please tell me."

Lin Weiwan smiled and nodded, estimating that after the wedding banquet in a few days, they would not see each other again.

"Sister-in-law, what is your eldest brother's position?" Hu Xuemei asked curiously.

"Just like your father Lu Aimin." Lin Weiwan said indifferently.

Hu Xuemei's eyes lit up when she heard this. The time of their marriage was not much different. Look, she married a group leader.
