S City.
The Lu family received the betrothal gift list prepared by the Fan family and rubbed their eyes, wondering if they had misread it.
What are those washing machines, watches, bicycles, and refrigerators?
This doesn't even include the additional money and dowry.
The Lu family swore they'd never been this generous when it came to getting their son a wife...
The reason why Fan's father was able to prepare such a lavish betrothal gift for Fan Yunyan was twofold: firstly, it was some money he had secretly saved up for future use; secondly, Fan's grandparents, who doted on their eldest grandson, sent him a considerable amount of money as a subsidy.
Meanwhile, Fan Xiaofan innocently mentioned that she had managed to get the tickets for these things. Although her father was reluctant to spend the money, he still forced out, "Buy them..."
However, since the village has no electricity, the washing machine and refrigerator were left in S City, while the watch and bicycle were brought back to the village for the young couple to use daily...
Adding in the cost of the wedding in S City, the expenses were considerable.
Fan Xiaofan never expected that her father would be able to come up with so much money; she originally thought that buying one or two items would be quite good...
After all, my impression of the Fan family was that their food, housing, and clothing were all rather ordinary...
That makes sense, though. In this day and age, sometimes even if you have money, there's nowhere to spend it. Now that Fan Xiaofan has managed to get tickets, what else is there to worry about? A son's dignity is a father's dignity...
Even Fan's father asked quietly, "Could you get a few more sets of tickets, and also buy some for Xicheng and the family?"
The Lu family was naturally satisfied with the betrothal gifts. Lu Zhixi blushed and let her brothers tease her, feeling the importance her future husband's family placed on her, which was always a wonderful feeling.
The previous one was lucky if the Lu family didn't have to pay for a bicycle, let alone give them one.
The Lu family members suppressed their excitement, wishing they could confront those gossipy people right now. However, after some discussion, they decided to hold back and wait for the right day to slap them in the face.
So when the Fan family arrived at the Lu family with their grand betrothal gifts, the onlookers were dumbfounded.
Everyone says Lu Zhixi's reputation is ruined, and she's so picky; it's a miracle any man is willing to marry her...
But what's going on now?
The young man at the head of the group, who looked shy, was a bit dark-skinned, but he still looked quite respectable.
And these big items... Oh my, they wouldn't even dare to think about them. They were even hesitant to reach out and touch them, afraid of damaging them.
And there's even a substantial dowry in addition...
Wow, Lu Zhixi really married incredibly well...
Those with a penchant for gossip couldn't resist asking the Lu family about it. Mr. Lu maintained a composed expression, suppressing his smugness and appearing nonchalant, while Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "We didn't expect it to be so grand. We were just as surprised as you are. But then again, they're a young couple, brought together by their elders. We heard the groom really values our Zhixi..."
Everyone felt like they were being slapped in the face repeatedly...
Since the incident where Lu Zhixi's cousin-in-law caused trouble behind her back, Madam Lu has taught her a lesson: some people are not to be trifled with.
Now, that cousin-in-law at Mrs. Lu's sister's house wishes she could be invisible...
Madam Lu and her sister had always had a good relationship. She never expected that her daughter-in-law would do such a dirty trick on her in private, making her too ashamed to face her sister. Thinking of this, she glared at her daughter-in-law with daggers and sneered, "Disgraceful thing."
