Chapter 222 Two Good Things Combined into One Good
Xiao Aiguo and Qian Aiju returned to the production brigade very few times throughout the year. Every time they came back, they just spent time with their family members. They hadn't seen many people in the production brigade for several years.
Now when I suddenly saw Liu Xiuli, I couldn’t remember who she was for a moment.
Xiao Aiguo and Qian Aiju were still a little embarrassed.
Could it be that this person is close to my family? I forgot about him, which is really unfair to him.
Just as I was thinking this, I heard the person in front of me say, "It's me! I'm Ruanruan's mother! Aren't Ruanruan and Cheng Jin going to get engaged? I came here specifically to discuss this with you. Tell me, as a mother, I can't just ignore such a big thing, right?"
After hearing this, the embarrassment in Xiao Aiguo and Qian Aiju's hearts disappeared in an instant.
It turned out to be Liu Xiuli!
Xiao Aiguo was not good at arguing with others, so he simply went to see Qian Aiju.
Qian Aiju cried out and laughed sarcastically, "I was wondering who it was! It turned out to be you! Aunt Chen told me yesterday that if you come here to cause trouble, she'll ask you to pay a thousand yuan first as child support for Ruanruan over the years. Even if you're a mother and don't raise your child, you still have to spend money, right?"
"But I think one thousand yuan is not enough. You are going to discuss Ruanruan and Cheng Jin's marriage with me now. Shouldn't you prepare some dowry for Ruanruan? We have already agreed that Ruanruan will give as much dowry as our family pays for the betrothal gifts. When the time comes, all these things will be left to the young couple so that they can live happily together."
"As a mother, you are so enthusiastic when you hear that your daughter is going to get engaged. You must want your daughter to live a good life, right?"
Qian Aiju is a small leader in the food factory. She usually lectures her subordinates and gives ideological reports during meetings. She is very eloquent.
All these words made Liu Xiuli completely dumbfounded.
After waiting for a long time without seeing Liu Xiuli speak, Qian Aiju smiled again, "Why don't you say anything? Are you thinking about how much to give as a gift? Not much! Not much! We are going to prepare six quilts, six sets of new clothes, a bicycle and a watch for Cheng Jin. They will definitely need a new house, so our family will pay half of the money to build them a new house. A new house will also need furniture, so our family will also pay half of the money. What do you say?"
Liu Xiuli's face was so stiff as if it was covered with a thick layer of paste, and she couldn't even move the corners of her mouth.
What did she say?
What else can she do? She still thought that Su Ruanruan could marry Xiao Chengjin, and she could get some benefits from it!
As a result, she has not seen any benefits at all, and she is even required to give such a huge dowry. She would have to be crazy to agree to this.
Liu Xiuli also suspected that Qian Aiju was lying to her, but just as she looked over, she heard Qian Aiju say, "I just went to Cheng Jin's aunt's house to discuss this matter, and his aunt also said it was okay! After all, it's a good thing for both parties to get along. No one expects to benefit from this matter. I just hope that Cheng Jin and Ruanruan can get along better."
At this moment, the light in Liu Xiuli's eyes went out.
She doesn't expect Su Ruanruan to have a good life!
She just wants to make some money!
Since there is no benefit to be gained, what does it matter to her who Su Ruanruan marries?
"Since Ruanruan has been given to the Su family and has the surname Su, the dowry is the Su family's business and has nothing to do with our Wang family. I'm leaving! You are busy! You are busy!"
