Chapter 312 The Long-Awaited Red Envelope
Shen Yue didn't expect that her meeting with her boyfriend's parents would turn out like this. The last time she went to his house for dinner, the uncle and aunt were very nice.
Father Shen’s face was gloomy.
Mother Shen held back her breath: “Then how much do you say?”
300 yuan is just below the normal market price in the countryside. Their family also loves their daughter and planned to give a dowry of 300 yuan and let their daughter take 600 yuan to her small family. They were not taking advantage at all. But before they could even say it, they were ridiculed by Jiang Yong's mother.
Hearing this.
Mother Jiang thought that Mother Shen had compromised, and she was very proud of herself: Humph, I said that a woman who is not married and hangs out with men every day has no choice but to marry her son. Even if they don't give a bride price, they have to agree, right?
but.
Thinking of the warnings her husband and son had given her, Jiang's mother gave him alms: "Our two families are getting married, not doing business, and you are not trying to sell your daughter. I'll give you 80 yuan as a betrothal gift. Do you think it's okay, mother-in-law?"
If she hadn't had some shame, she would have said 8 yuan.
Mother Shen’s face turned even darker.
Father Shen was tense, as if he was about to explode in the next moment.
Shen Yue felt extremely humiliated and looked at her boyfriend.
Jiang Yong avoided her gaze.
At that moment, Shen Yue's heart sank: she and Jiang Yong were classmates in junior high school and also went to the same technical secondary school. At that time, his grades were not good, and she encouraged him. He took the initiative to pursue her, and she gradually developed a good impression of him. At the graduation ceremony, he confessed to her, and she agreed, and the two got together.
Now, she works in a textile factory and Jiang Yong works in a machinery factory. As they had only graduated for about a year, she didn't really want to get married right away. It was Jiang Yong who took the initiative to propose settling down.
In the end, is this how it was decided?
80 yuan, just to feed a beggar!
You can judge a person by his appearance but not his heart. If you have really made a mistake, just think of it as being bitten by a dog.
Thinking of this, Shen Yue stood up suddenly: "Mom and Dad, let's forget about this, let's go."
As soon as these words came out.
Jiang Yong's family of three all looked terribly pale.
Father and Mother Shen stood up without saying a word, and the family was about to leave.
Jiang Yong panicked: "Xiao Yue~"
Mother Jiang was startled at first, then said disdainfully: "Jiang Yong, don't stop them, let them go."
Who are you trying to scare?
Who would want a slut except their family?
Jiang Yong looked at his mother with a conflicted expression.
Seeing this, Shen Yue completely gave up on this man.
"Mom and Dad, let's go."
Father Shen/Mother Shen: “Okay.”
The three of them strode away.
Behind.
Jiang Yong complained: "Mom, I told you that you shouldn't be like this. What if Xiaoyue doesn't want to marry me?"
Mother Jiang disagreed: "Oh, Shen Yue has been having an affair with you for so many years, who else would want her except you?"
"Besides, isn't 80 yuan enough for the betrothal gift? The family that Xiaocao married into in our village only gave 50 yuan for the betrothal gift..."
This way.
Mu Sanniang couldn't bear to listen any longer, so she deliberately raised her voice: "Mother-in-law, our family is not well off right now, so we can only give you 380 yuan as a betrothal gift. Don't think it's too little~"
Sun Chunju understood immediately and said loudly: "We country folk usually give 300 yuan. Your mother-in-law is so thoughtful, how can I think it's too little?"
Lin Su'e also said: "Don't worry, Chunju, the people I introduced to you are all honest people, they won't give a few dozen yuan as a betrothal gift to disgust you..."
As soon as these words came out.
There was a noise next door.
Jiang Yong's family of three had their veils peeled off in public, and their faces looked frighteningly ugly.
But.
The person on the other side didn't even glance at them, nor did he mention them by name, so they really didn't know what to say.
After all, if a real quarrel breaks out and everyone hears the reason, they will be the ones who will be embarrassed.
at last.
The three of them left in disgrace.
After everyone left, Lin Su'e and the others laughed out loud.
“You deserve it!”
“It’s really disgusting~”
"Fortunately, the woman had backbone and didn't swallow her anger."
"This marriage must not be allowed. If this happens before we even get married, who knows how he'll bully me after we get married~"
“…”
With this episode.
Discussions on the bride price became more harmonious.
In the end, Mu Sanniang set the dowry for Qian Duo: 380 yuan in cash, 3,000 kilograms of rice and two sets of clothes.
…
After lunch, Mu Sanniang asked Zhao Hegang to take Qian Duo shopping and to the movies.
They planned to just walk around.
After watching the two leave, Mu Sanniang thought of something: "Aunt San, I don't have anything to do, why don't you take us to your new store?"
Lin Su'e raised her eyebrows and nodded readily: "Okay."
The group went to the store.
now.
Zhao Chunlan was talking to the workers inside.
Lin Su'e called her: "Chunlan."
Zhao Chunlan turned around and saw several people. She was startled at first, then greeted them with a smile: "Mom, Sister Mu, Second Brother Zhen, Aunt Sun, Uncle Qian, hello."
This was the first time she met Qian Jiandang.
However, apart from Zhao Zhener and his wife, there were only two of them, and she knew their names.
Then, he asked, "Mom, is this the Northeastern clay pot chicken you guys had today?"
Hearing this.
Lin Su'e and others were surprised.
"You saw us?"
"How do you know that?"
“…”
Zhao Chunlan smiled and spread her hands: "I didn't see it, but you all smelled the aroma of Dongbei sauce. I could smell it right away."
Several people started to smell themselves at the same time.
“Does it smell?”
“I don’t think so~”
"There's a little bit, not strong at all. How did you smell it? It's magical~"
“…”
Lin Su'e was not surprised.
Nine times out of ten, they are so used to the smell that they cannot smell their own body odor.
This way.
Zhao Chunlan also replied: "I guess you are used to the smell."
She added: "It doesn't smell bad, it smells nice, a bit like soy sauce."
After listening.
Several people looked better.
Strong taste and strong fragrance are two completely different concepts.
Skipping this topic, Lin Su'e asked with concern: "Have you eaten?"
Zhao Chunlan smiled and nodded: "I ate it."
Lin Su'e: "We plan to visit your store and see how you decorated it."
"Just look at it."
Zhao Chunlan: "I can explain it to you anytime."
“…”
Time passes quietly.
When Zhao Hegang and Qian Duo came back, it was already 3:30 in the afternoon.
Mu Sanniang said, "Isn't it time to go home?"
Everyone agreed.
Lin Su'e looked at Zhao Chunlan: "Chunlan, do you want to come with us?"
Zhao Chunlan shook her head: "No, Mom, I came here by bicycle, and I will go back by myself when the time comes."
Lin Su'e didn't force it: "Okay."
The two companies are in the same industry.
The first village to arrive was Shuikou Village.
Mu Sanniang said, "Duoduo, my dear father-in-law and mother-in-law, we are here and we will not accompany you anymore."
Qian Jiandang waved his hand.
Sun Chunju smiled and said, "See you next time."
Qian Duo: "Goodbye, Aunt Mu."
Mu Sanniang's smile deepened: "Goodbye, Duoduo, come to our house often, you're welcome."
After saying that, she nudged her son with her elbow: "He Gang, say something quickly~"
Zhao Hegang hurriedly said, "Duoduo, the kiwi fruit tree will bloom soon. Do you want to come and see it?"
Qian Duo nodded quickly: "Okay."
After saying this, she felt that she was being too unreserved and her cheeks flushed.
Zhao Hegang didn't care about this and smiled wider: "It's very beautiful. You will definitely like it when the time comes."
"I'll pick you up at your house."
Although Qian Duo was shy, she couldn't help but nodded: "Yeah."
Neither of the parents stopped it.
Although as the years go by, the rules between unmarried men and women are not so strict.
…
This way.
Sun Chunju took out a red envelope and handed it to Lin Su'e: "Matchmaker Lin, thank you for your hard work today. This is just a little gift from me."
Lin Su'e raised her eyebrows slightly, then calmly extended her hand to accept it: "Thank you."
Mu Sanniang laughed and took out a red envelope: "Mother-in-law, we are so in tune with each other~"
"Third Aunt, since you have accepted Sister Sun's, you have to accept mine too."
Lin Su'e smiled and said angrily: "Of course, who would have a problem with red envelopes?"
Everyone laughed.
after.
Everyone waved goodbye.
Zhao Hegang looked at Qian Duo with reluctance in his eyes. He felt that the day had passed too quickly and the time to say goodbye had come unexpectedly.
Watched the Qian family’s three members leave.
She separated from Zhao Zhener's family of three and returned home.
First run room.
After closing the door, he excitedly took out the red envelope: "Wow, this is the first time I've received a red envelope this year. It's been a long time, my little cutie~"
