Chapter 896: You Can’t Hit Me
Tang Jianye suggested, "Brother Gu, how about we follow your eldest daughter-in-law's standards?"
"This..." Gu Decheng hesitated.
Seeing Gu Decheng's expression, Tang Jianye's eyes moved slightly, "Brother Gu, are you not satisfied?"
Is it too little?
Gu Decheng said, "Give 999 as a lucky number. Just give it as a token of appreciation. The child has bought a house, so he definitely won't have a lot of money."
The huge bride price in rural areas is given by those who are poor and cannot find a wife.
The more remote the place, the higher the bride price.
Jin Zhengtai has already bought a house, and his daughter will not be able to bear any grievances in the future, so he cannot ask for a dowry like other people in the village.
When Gu Jinghui heard that his father only asked for more than 900 yuan as a betrothal gift, his face suddenly turned unhappy.
But, at this moment, he had no right to speak.
Tang Jianye looked at Gu Decheng with admiration, he is truly a down-to-earth person.
He looked at Jin Zhengtai and smiled, "Xiao Jin, did you hear clearly?
You have to propose marriage quickly. Look how much your father-in-law loves you.
Since you are engaged, you still have to buy some clothes and jewelry for Jingxiu."
Gu Decheng waved his hand, "Forget about the jewelry. What jewelry do we, a child from an ordinary family, need?"
Tang Jianye suddenly felt that his job as a matchmaker was a little too easy.
The girl's family has no requirements.
How can this be?
At this time, Tang Jianye also realized the status of men in rural families.
Marrying off their daughter was such a big deal, but Gu Jingxiu and her mother didn't say a word at all.
It was Gu Decheng who was talking.
He glanced at Gu Jingxiu and said to Gu Decheng, "Let's listen to the children's opinions."
Tang Jianye looked at Gu Jingxiu who had been standing aside with her head down and had not expressed any opinions. He asked with a smile, "Jingxiu, what do you want? Do you have any other requests? Don't be shy while everyone is here. Just ask Xiao Jin if he can do it and he will do it for you. Engagement is a big deal, and we can't let you down."
This girl is really too honest.
Gu Jingxiu was suddenly detained. She looked up and replied, "Second Uncle Tang, I don't have any requests. Please talk to my dad."
Tang Jianye laughed, "How can you not have any requests, kid?
We are discussing your engagement with Xiao Jin, you have to get involved."
Tang Min pulled Gu Jingxiu and said, "Jingxiu, if you have any other requests, tell everyone."
Jin Zhengtai looked at her tenderly, "Yes, Jingxiu, tell me, I will find a way to do whatever you ask for."
Gu Jingxiu looked at the people in the room, bit her lip, and mustered up the courage to speak, "My only request is that no matter what happens in the future, he can't hit me."
As soon as Gu Jingxiu said this, everyone in the room looked at her.
Tang Min was even more shocked.
My heart ached.
The former wife, Gu Jingxiu, suffered domestic violence from Wang Hu after marrying him and eventually suffered from depression.
She felt distressed that she made such a request at this time.
Jin Zhengtai was even more confused, "Jingxiu, why do you have such an idea?
How could I hit you?"
A man who hits a woman is the most shameless.
There is absolutely no way he could become that kind of person.
Gu Jingxiu looked at Jin Zhengtai, his expression more serious than ever before, "Many men in my hometown beat their wives after marriage. If they disagree, they will take off the soles of their shoes and hit them. I am afraid of living that kind of life, so I want you to promise in front of my parents and my eldest and second brothers that in the future, no matter what happens, you will never lay a hand on me."
Gu Jingxiu's words made Gu Decheng blush.
When he was young, he was also known by his daughter as a man who beat his wife.
Anyway, it's not that he has any violent tendencies, it's just that basically everyone is like that.
Everyone is used to it.
When my daughter-in-law does something wrong, I beat her to vent my anger.
Gu Decheng remembered very clearly that when the eldest and second sons were seven or eight years old, he once took off his shoes and beat Wang Guixiang because of a trivial matter. As a result, the two sons ran over and stood in front of Wang Guixiang to protect her.
Gu Jingchuan glared at him fiercely, snatched the shoes from his hand, and threw them onto the roof with great force.
He was wearing only one shoe at the time, and was stunned by the sight of his two sons glaring at him fiercely.
From then on, he never beat his wife again.
Jin Zhengtai spoke solemnly in front of everyone, "I promise, if I, Jin Zhengtai, touch a hair on Gu Jingxiu's head in the future, I will ask Big Brother, Second Brother, and Jingqi to beat me to death together."
Tang Min patted Gu Jingxiu on the shoulder and said, "Jingxiu, don't worry about that. Jinzi is not that kind of person. Look at your elder brother and second brother. They have never beaten their wives. Even though your elder sister-in-law is so naughty, your elder brother has never touched her. What are you afraid of?"
Gu Jingxiu nodded, "Second sister-in-law, I believe him."
Gu Jingqi said loudly, "Sister, don't worry. If Brother Jinzi dares to bully you in the future, I will be the first to not let him off. I want to be a military doctor in the future, so curing him will be a piece of cake."
"Jingxiu, if he dares to touch you, call my brother and I will go to the city to settle the score with him."
Gu Jinghui also came out to support.
Gu Jingxiu looked at them with emotion, "Thank you, brother. Thank you, Jingqi."
"Seeing your family is so harmonious and united, I am very happy as your second uncle. Xiao Min has married into a good family."
Although their family is ordinary, they have the ordinary people's happiness and warmth.
It's quite comforting to watch.
Gu Decheng replied, "His second uncle, our Gu family was very lucky to marry a good daughter-in-law.
Since Xiao Min married into our family, our family has been living a better life and everyone’s mental outlook has changed. This is all thanks to Xiao Min.”
In the past, the family was extremely poor. The eldest couple were lazy and gluttonous, the second child was in a wheelchair, Jingxiu was timid and afraid of things, and life was quite difficult. Ever since Tang Min married his son Jingchuan, Jingchuan recovered from his illness, and the eldest couple were inspired by them, and now things are moving in a positive direction.
They married a good wife.
Tang Jianye nodded in agreement, "Brother Gu, I agree with what you said. Our Xiao Min is a skilled doctor and is very motivated. It is a blessing for Jingchuan to marry our Xiao Min."
"Uncle, Dad, let's not talk about the matter between Jinzi and Jingxiu."
Tang Min felt embarrassed by their praise.
"Yes, let's get down to business."
Tang Jianye looked at Jin Zhengtai, "Jin Zi, then you should make a statement in front of your father-in-law, mother-in-law, and your elder and younger brothers-in-law. You must not bully Jingxiu in the future."
Jin Zhengtai stood up straight and said solemnly, "Uncle, no, I can't love her enough."
"You kid."
Finally, Tang Jianye made the decision, "Then my mission for the day is complete. We have also discussed the betrothal gifts. As for the jewelry, Jingxiu, just tell Jinzi what you want to buy. Also, when we get engaged, we must buy some new clothes for Jingxiu. You can buy these things as you please."
