Wu Guixiang smiled and said, "We can't rush into marriage just to get separate rooms. The most important thing is how you two feel about each other. If you really like each other and want to get married, then our Su family won't stop you. It's up to you."
"Mom!" Zhang Xinlan was anxious. How could he agree so directly? He hadn't even said anything yet!
"Shut up!" Wu Guixiang said impatiently, "Listen to me."
Zhang Xinlan had no choice but to endure and shut up.
The other members of the Su family didn't say anything, but just listened quietly.
"If you and Congwu are both interested, and your family has no objection, we can get things done as soon as possible. When the time comes to divide the house, the house will be divided. Although your family has no objection and agrees to give it to you, we can't take advantage of it for nothing. When the time comes, our Su family will give you a sum of money, not a betrothal gift, but a separate payment."
Wu Guixiang spoke in a gentle voice, expressing her thoughts. She had been thinking about this matter since Wu came back that day. After thinking for a long time, she decided that as long as the girl was a good person, her family was not troublesome, and there was nothing wrong with them, and their Su family did not take advantage of them, then they would just settle the matter.
When they met today, Wu Guixiang nodded in her heart at Wu Shuhui, who was beautiful and spoke cheerfully and generously, so she directly told her decision.
When Wu Shuhui heard her words, she was visibly stunned.
Before she could respond, Wu Guixiang said to her family, "Don't think that we're discriminating against Congwu by giving him this money. We also spent money on his military service some time ago. I've said that all our children are equal. It doesn't make sense to spend money on Congwu but not on Congwu."
Li Xiulian immediately expressed her opinion, "Mom, Aiguo and I have no objection. You can make the decision."
She really didn't mind. Her family had already spent a lot of money on her military service, so it was only natural that it was her turn to join the military.
Su Aimin shrugged, "Mom, whatever you want."
To put it bluntly, Su Aimin doesn't really care about the little money his mother has saved. Congwu is also his nephew, so of course he hopes he can have a good home.
Hmm? Why does this sound a little off?
Among all the people, the only one who opposed it was Zhang Xinlan. She was almost going crazy. What was her mother-in-law doing?
It’s not that Zhang Xinlan disagrees with her family spending money on Congwu, on the contrary, she wants it but can’t get it. But she doesn’t want to spend the money. The girl will be unemployed soon and will have to rely on Congwu for support in the future. The house should be given to Congwu, why should she give him money!
Before she could say anything, she heard Wu Shuhui, who had come to her senses, speak.
"Grandma, I absolutely won't accept this money," Wu Shuhui said firmly, "and if Congwu and I get married, our family doesn't want a betrothal gift."
"What?"
When these words came out, the whole family was shocked.
Nowadays, who wouldn't want a betrothal gift, let alone a city girl? Even a rural girl getting married wouldn't want one. Some even demanded exorbitant amounts, practically willing to sell their daughters by the pound. The He family's 88 yuan betrothal gift is a prime example.
That's why they were so surprised that there are girls who don't want a dowry?
Zhang Xinlan was dumbfounded, with a bunch of words stuck in her throat. She could only say, "What on earth do your family think?" Is this family stupid?
Wu Shuhui slowly explained, "It's like this. Although my family decided to give the job to my brother, my mother felt that I was going to lose my job after a good academic career and felt that she owed me. So she said that she didn't want a betrothal gift, as long as he was truly good to me."
this……
The Su family looked around and at each other. This was the first time they had heard of this.
"No, the betrothal gift is a rule, we can't not give it." After hearing this, Wu Guixiang directly denied it, "Whatever happens, it will be what it is."
"If you don't accept that money, we'll increase the betrothal gift." Wu Guixiang thought for a moment and came up with a number. "We'll give you 88 as a betrothal gift. What do you think? You can also go home and discuss it with your family."
Eighty-eight?!
The whole family's eyes widened. This was not a small amount of money. Didn't the He family cancel the engagement because another family offered a betrothal gift of 88?
This betrothal money is much more than that of joining the army. Even if the money spent last time is added, it is still more than that. It seems that some money for the house has been added to it.
Su Congwu looked at his grandmother with a touched face. He knew that his grandmother still loved him, otherwise how could she be willing to spend so much money?
"Of course, Congwu, you have to pay some of this money yourself," said Wu Guixiang.
Su Congwu: “…” No, grandma, why is there the second half of the sentence?
