Chapter 585 Eight Thousand Eight
But she was reluctant to leave, so she stood outside the door and listened to the gossip.
I thought, if everyone in the Zhou family has delusions, the elders and the village chief might also be sick!
She wanted to see how long the Zhou family could keep pretending!
Zhou Xilai asked, "Uncle, I gave the girl 8,800 yuan as a betrothal gift. Will the villagers gossip about me behind my back?"
Xue Guiqin's mouth was so wide open that an egg could fit in it. Eight thousand eight!
She hurriedly scratched her ears. Yes, it was eight thousand eight!
Her man earns forty or fifty yuan a month, and with bonuses, he can only earn a thousand yuan a year at most. Zhou Xilai asks for eight thousand eight hundred. He must be crazy or stupid!
She was just waiting for the elders of the Zhou family to expose him.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Dafu opened his mouth and said, "Let anyone who wants to gossip go ahead. This is a new society, and we should advocate new things in new ways!"
Several elders also nodded in agreement.
Xue Guiqin almost screamed when she heard this. "This is crazy, this is crazy, this is all crazy!"
At this time, Xue Guixiang brought a plate of melon seeds and a few boxes of cigarettes, and gave a box to each of them.
The cigarettes are Pegasus brand cigarettes, not tobacco leaves.
Xue Guiqin wanted to snatch those boxes of cigarettes.
Her husband likes to smoke, but he only smokes when he goes out.
Xue Guixiang casually took out a few boxes of cigarettes and gave them to others.
After Xue Guixiang greeted the men, nothing else happened.
She saw the girl looking at her with an incredible look, so she pulled her aside and said, "Guiqin, you have seen it all, right? With my family's financial situation, why should I lend you money?"
"Sister, are you really rich?" Xue Guiqin asked with her eyes wide open.
"I can't say it's improved, but it's true that life is better than before."
"Sister, I won't leave. I'll stay at your house, but... I want to go into the city for a walk." Xue Guiqin said.
At this point, she had to believe that her eldest sister's family was really rich.
Her elder sister is also much prettier than before, and she is completely different in both her dressing style and personality.
After Xue Guiqin finished speaking, she went to the county town.
Xue Guixiang didn't ask her what was wrong, but she always felt that the girl was different from before.
Although the girl before was not a good person, she was at least kind. But this time she gave people a feeling of bad intentions.
She didn't know why she thought so.
She didn't have time to delve into these things. No matter what the girl thought, as long as she didn't interfere with her life, it was fine.
After Xue Guiqin left, many women from the village came to help. They all helped to paste the wedding characters, make the wedding bed, and stuff dates and peanuts into the quilt.
Xue Guixiang was so busy that she forgot about her sister's affairs.
Tomorrow is my brother-in-law’s wedding day, and that’s the most important thing.
In the afternoon, Qiao Jingzhen was also brought in. She was responsible for directing the chef to cook.
She had planned the banquet a long time ago. There were fifty tables in total, each with eight dishes and one soup, and four cold dishes and four hot dishes.
Cold dishes include cold-mixed black fungus and peanuts, steamed buns, smashed cucumbers and cold-cut sausages, while hot dishes include a steamed chicken, a steamed fish, a braised pork and a braised pork elbow.
Then cook a big pot of vegetables and eat steamed buns to fill you up.
None of them are exquisite dishes, but they are large in quantity and affordable, which suits the eating habits of the villagers.
Soon after Qiao Jingzhen arrived, vegetables and meat were delivered, and the women began to get busy. Some washed vegetables, some fried tofu balls, some killed chickens, and some killed pigs.
In a moment, the small yard was bustling with people slaughtering chickens and pigs.
The men were responsible for pulling the tables and benches.
