She was so shocked by the amount of money he gave that she was almost speechless. After all, she had never seen anyone give so much as a betrothal gift.
It was hard to find a millionaire here, but he made one of them in one fell swoop. How could people not be surprised?
At the same time as being surprised, they were also a little frightened. Even though the other party had given so much money, their family didn't have anything to offer as a dowry. If the dowry was too little, wouldn't their children be unable to hold their heads up in front of the other party's family?
I know they want the dowry to be the same for all the children, but what kind of girls are they marrying? Their families must be similar, and they are well-matched. My family really can't compare.
If word got out about so much money, the people in the village would definitely be shocked, and they would definitely talk about this matter in the next few months.
How could they give so much money at once? It was really too much. They would feel uneasy holding it, even though they could give it to their children.
But from what the Gu family said, even if they gave the money to Xia Jin, they would not touch the money. Isn't it the same as giving it to them?
Their family really couldn't afford so much money, but even though they were given so much, everyone in the family was very happy, as it showed that the other party valued their children very much.
It also means that people really recognize their own children, which is why they are willing to spend so much money.
Father Xia also said, "No, no, you should take the money back. It's really too much. Just a token of your gratitude will do."
It is a good thing that their daughter is valued, but they cannot take so much money from others for no reason.
This stuff only needs to be used in moderation. If they want to show that they are serious, they can add a little more on top of what ordinary people take, but they really don't need so much.
"Since you told us to come on our own, then it's settled. We gave you so much money because we liked Xiaojin."
"Besides, the others all agreed to what I gave them, and my daughters-in-law also had no objections."
"Although I didn't give them that much at the time, I compensated them after we got married."
"If you feel uneasy about taking this money, you can give it to Xia Jin and let her take it back. Let them spend it on their own. It can be regarded as a kind of guarantee."
"It's pretty much the same in our circle. Although the price isn't that high, it's not much lower either. Just take the money."
"Your family is so well-off. If a girl marries into our family, no matter how you look at it, your family will suffer."
"Why don't you accept it? Do you think Xiao Jin is not worth so much money?"
"No, no, it just means that it's a bit too much. If this gets out, the people in the village, and even the people around here, who knows what to say?"
"I'm afraid of causing unnecessary trouble. Some people will do anything for money."
Grandpa Xia was afraid that some people would deliberately destroy their relationship in order to get ahead after knowing that they had given so much betrothal gifts.
Although this kind of behavior makes many people ashamed, but in the face of money, what does it matter if others are ashamed?
If you really succeed, you will be a real millionaire, and there will definitely be people who will have ulterior motives.
After all, such things have happened in the village before. Although everyone is disdainful of dealing with that family, they still live a good life.
What does it matter if you look down on me? He had come from the quagmire of his own family and married into a family like this one.
If the news of their family's number 9999 really got out, who knows what tricks the people in the village would come up with.
So it is better to suppress it from the source. Then they will be just like ordinary people, and they will have no reason to do anything even if they want to.
"Hey, you're worried about that. It just so happens that no one will see us pay it when we do. Then you can just make up a random amount and tell them."
"It's true that some people will be jealous, but what are they jealous of? Are they as capable as Xia Jin, or as pretty as Xia Jin?"
"They can't catch up to Xiao Jin in any way. So what if they're jealous? Xiao Jin deserves it."
"Uncle, let me tell you, your child is really good."
"She's good-looking, that's innate, but she's also very capable. Look how successful she is at running that factory and making so much money."
"And then there's the matter of studying, and being able to get into a top university on your own. Who wouldn't be envious if that were to be told to others?"
"Let's not even talk about you guys. Even in the capital, it's hard to find a kid as capable as him. They're either inferior in this aspect or that aspect."
"Your little Jin is truly an all-rounder. Once this gets out, her achievements will surely be admired and envied by everyone."
"Our family is better off, but if you really compare the two of them, they're pretty much evenly matched."
"I fully support them being together. Our family is so lucky to have found a daughter-in-law like Xiaojin."
"So this amount of money is not much at all. If I only had this one son, I would give him more, but there is no way. I have several."
"We have to treat everyone equally. If I give your family too much, my daughter-in-law won't say it out of face, but she will definitely feel a little uncomfortable in her heart."
"So we have to let your Xiaojin down. We know you're not here for the money, but this also represents our family's sincerity."
After hearing what he said, Grandpa Xia nodded happily to show his agreement. Since the other party insisted on giving it to them, he would not refuse.
Anyway, it’s still unknown when his two grandsons will be able to get married, so he might as well use the money the family has saved for their weddings first.
Although it is not as much as the betrothal gift they gave, I can still bring her more things.
Grandpa Xia knew that his granddaughter was rich, but the money was given to her by her family, and they couldn't let her pay for it herself.
They could only do their best to arrange things for her, but judging by the way he was now, he would definitely not be bullied by his in-laws.
After all, my granddaughter is not bad either. How many children can be so capable? She is good at making money, studying, and is very beautiful.
Grandpa Xia is not bragging. If his granddaughter were still alive, she would have been able to enter the palace and become the emperor's concubine in ancient times.
