Chapter 1075: Too high a opinion of oneself
Ding Jiayi, who had been standing aside and listening, felt a pain in her flesh. Qiao Nan had married well enough, why did she still need to prepare dowry? What do you need to prepare dowry? When she married old Qiao, she didn't even have a new dress.
When she thought about Qiao Nan's dowry being too much to fit in one yard and had to be put next door, Ding Jiayi's face turned very ugly. She wished she could do something right away to vent her emotions.
Not to mention Ding Jiayi, Qiao Zijin, who was in high spirits today, couldn't help but smile.
Today, Chen Jun brought his parents to Qiao's house for dinner, ready to get to know each other and make this marriage.
Of course, the main purpose of Chen's father and mother coming to the Qiao family's courtyard was to meet Qiao Nan, who was about to marry into the Zhai family and become the daughter-in-law of Chief Zhai.
Once their son married Qiao Zijin, he would directly become Qiao Nan's brother-in-law. Even Zhai Sheng had to call his son brother-in-law. This relationship was close!
The Chen family wanted to get close to the Zhai family, but too many connections were not enough. It would be even better if they could also have dealings with the Zhu family.
Today, the two families were obviously here to discuss the marriage of Qiao Zijin and Chen Jun. When the Zhu family intervened, Chen's father thought for a moment and said, "I didn't mention it just now, but it turns out that my niece is getting married. It's OK if you don't know, but now that you know, we are all a family in the future. When my niece gets married, I, as an uncle, must also make some effort."
Didn't Qiao Nan marry from the Zhu family to the Zhai family?
When he prepares some dowry for Qiao Nan and sends it to the Zhu family, won't she be able to get to know the people of the Zhu family?
Thinking that his son has worked so hard for so long, he only tried to please Wang Yang. In the end, he did a lot of things but got almost no benefits. He was at a great loss.
Wang Yang was just borrowing the wind of the Zhu family. This time, their Chen family could just get rid of Wang Yang and contact the Zhu family directly.
The Zhu family looked at Chen's father and didn't respond.
Qiao Dongliang waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, you're too polite."
Qiao Dongliang didn't forget that he didn't pay a penny for the dowry mentioned by the Zhu family.
He couldn't give a dowry to his younger daughter, and when his elder daughter got married, he certainly wouldn't be able to give much either, and the situation would only be a little better than that of his younger daughter.
Just from the family background, Qiao Zijin's marriage to Chen Jun was considered a high-class marriage for the Qiao family.
Qiao Dongliang couldn't even afford a decent dowry, so how could he dare to ask the Chen family to pay for Qiao Nan's dowry?
He had to worry that if his elder daughter married Chen Jun in the future, she wouldn't be able to take too much dowry with her, which would make the Chen family unhappy. Even if he sold his blood, he couldn't afford a dowry that matched the Chen family.
"How could that be? When Zijin marries Chen Jun, we will be a family. Now we can go as relatives. Not only will I have to add to the dowry, but I will also have to give her a big red envelope." Chen Jun smiled very happily. Qiao Zijin herself was incompetent, but she had a capable sister.
It didn't matter if the Qiao family was useless. This marriage was not a loss.
"Comrade Qiao, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first. By the way, don't forget to ask Director Shi. After you confirm the location, give me a call so that I can have someone deliver those things to the designated location." The people of the Zhu family were unwilling to continue wasting time in the Qiao family's courtyard.
Without Qiao Nan, the Zhu family would never have the chance to set foot in the Qiao family's courtyard.
Qiao Dongliang's face froze. Even if the Zhu family's attitude was not very friendly, he could not lose his temper: "Thank you for your hard work. Don't worry, I will give you an answer as soon as possible."
Qiao Dongliang's face darkened after the Zhu family left.
Qiao Dongliang did not forget that three years ago, when he took Qiao Nan to the Zhu family for dinner, not to mention the servants hired by the Zhu family, even the owner of the Zhu family was kind to him.
Today, it was just a driver hired by the Zhu family, who spoke in a big tone and had a bad attitude.
Fortunately, he was not a narrow-minded person, otherwise, if he reported this situation to Zhu Chengqi or Mr. Zhu, the driver would definitely get out and go back to eat his own food.
After all, they have been married for many years. Ding Jiayi also thought so: "Lao Qiao, isn't this just a driver of the Zhu family? Why is he so arrogant? Next time you have a chance, you must report this situation to the Zhu family. It will bring shame to the Zhu family."
"Sister Ding, this is not right." Chen's mother took a deep breath: "It's not a big deal. Why bother with others? Everyone has to make a living. It's better to make a big thing small, a small thing nothing, give others a convenience, and save some face for yourself."
Yes, the other party is indeed just a driver, but the other party is the driver of the Zhu family.
Seven officials in front of the prime minister.
This principle is applicable both in the past and in modern times.
Chen's mother knew in her heart that although Ding Jiayi said it so righteously, she had to teach the driver a lesson.
The problem is, if Ding Jiayi goes to the Zhu family now, she can guarantee that she won't be able to even touch the door of the Zhu family, let alone complain about the driver in front of Mr. Zhu or Zhu Chengqi, and ask him to go back and eat his own food.
Chen's mother has heard a lot from her son about this overconfident relative.
I don't know if all the spiritual energy of the Qiao family is concentrated on Qiao Nan alone.
Qiao Nan is not only smart, but also very lucky.
On the contrary, the other three people in the Qiao family are not only stupid, but also don't listen to advice and are self-righteous.
If the people in the Qiao family were a little smarter, the advantage of the Qiao family would not have been taken by the Chen family.
After hearing what her son said, Chen's mother had always had a scale in her heart. Even though she knew the situation earlier, she was still quite shocked after seeing Ding Jiayi's confusion.
Chen's mother looked at Chen Jun with a trembling heart: Son, with the IQ of this family of three, are you sure they can really help our Chen family instead of hindering us?
Chen's mother always felt that if her son really wanted to marry Qiao Zijin, the future would not be as smooth as she imagined. The saddest thing is that the biggest trouble may not come from others, but from the three confused people in the Qiao family.
"He's just a lousy driver, why should we give him face? In ancient times, people like him were called slaves!" Ding Jiayi looked down on him, and the image of the servile slaves often seen on TV came to her mind.
"Old Ding!" Qiao Dongliang scolded Ding Jiayi: "Whether he is a slave or not, he has nothing to do with our family. You didn't give him money, so why do you look down on him?"
"Huh..." Qiao Dongliang's words made the Chen family of three secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
If Qiao Dongliang is like Ding Jiayi, whose mind is purely for decoration, then they will have to think again about the marriage between their family and the Qiao family.
