On the weekend, Wu Zhiqiu booked a private room for the old man, the old lady, and the couple.
The one who came from the Su family was Su Mo’s grandfather, Su Xu Su Lu.
After a brief greeting, the two sides sat down. Li Mancang handed the menu to Mr. Su and asked him to order first.
Old Master Su had a white beard that reached down to his chest and a sullen face. He looked serious, old-fashioned and difficult to talk to.
He put the recipe down.
"Let's talk things out before we eat, otherwise I won't be able to eat," said Mr. Su.
The old man smiled and said, "Please speak."
"My eldest son's family has no boys, no one to carry on the family line, so I told them that Su Mo must find a live-in son-in-law."
The Li family members didn't say anything, waiting for Mr. Su to continue.
Seeing the Li family's reaction, Old Master Su knew they were clear about it, so he continued, "It doesn't really matter whether they come to visit or not. The main thing is that we need to leave a descendant for our eldest son. Do you agree?"
The old man smiled and said, "Su Mo's first child, regardless of gender, can take the surname of her in-laws, but she must also leave an heir to my Li family. From then on, regardless of gender, the surname must be Li."
The old man's words were impeccable. No matter the gender of the first child, your family can have the whole baby. But if you want to have a second child or more because the first child is a girl, that is absolutely not allowed.
Old Master Su nodded and said, "That's settled then. The young couple will be responsible for their retirement."
The old man said, "No problem, this is what I should do."
Seeing that the Li family had agreed, Grandpa Su began to order dishes. Whether his eldest son could have descendants depended on fate.
Mr. Su doesn't talk much, and the old man didn't rush to talk to him.
Wu Zhiqiu and Su Qi discussed the marriage of their two children. Both felt that it would be better to get married on May 1st after the New Year. It would be neither too hot nor too cold, and the two of them still had some time to get along and get to know each other.
As for the betrothal gift, the Su family refused it resolutely.
The child will take their family surname, and they will also be responsible for providing for his/her old age. The two families have an equal relationship. The Su family does not ask for a betrothal gift, and will also give Su Mo a lot of dowry.
Wu Zhiqiu couldn’t do it, and there were also those who didn’t want a betrothal gift. Wu Zhiqiu glanced at the old lady.
"The betrothal gift is a courtesy. The man's betrothal gift is a respect for the woman. No matter whether the in-laws value it or not, we must have the proper etiquette," the old lady said lightly. You must never give the other party a word, or say in the future that the man does not know the rules or is marrying into the family out of turn because there is no betrothal gift.
Nowadays, young couples are all happy with each other. If they really have a quarrel, they can't let others get upset.
Su Qi understood what the old lady meant, "Then the betrothal gifts will follow the general trend."
"The third brother's company has done well in the past two years. He has saved some money from me, about 80,000 yuan. All of this will be used as a betrothal gift, along with some jewelry," Wu Zhiqiu said as agreed with the third brother.
"It's too much. Absolutely not. Even though your family is well-off, you can't give it this much. It's too much." Su Yu objected immediately after hearing it.
Su Li: "You all know my wife and I's work. 80,000 is too much, too high-profile, and not good for Xing'an's image."
