Tang Yu made tea for Xu Jian and handed it to him with both hands, "What is your main business, Brother Xu?"
"I started my own company, and the business I'm involved in is quite diverse. I started with clothing wholesale, and later I started export trade. In the past two years, I started an entertainment company with a friend and signed a few actors."
When Xu Jian said this, everyone in the Tang family was shocked.
Knowing Chen Xinyue's family background, they had no doubt about the Xu family's financial situation, but they did not expect Xu Jian to be so powerful and even the big boss!
Why are you waiting until now to discuss marriage under such conditions?
Everyone in the Tang family had the same doubts, but they were too embarrassed to speak them out.
In the end, Ding Rumen asked tactfully.
Lin Ying seemed to have opened a flood of words, complaining to Xu Jian, "In the past, he was so focused on making money, buying land and building houses and buildings in Guangdong Province, that he didn't pay any attention to finding a partner at all. In my opinion, he is just a blockhead, and he doesn't think much. Now that he sees his cousin is married, he has some ideas.
But if you ask me, Jingjing is the best, otherwise I, a jerk, wouldn't look down on her."
Lin Qin chimed in, "I can't guarantee anything else, but you can rest assured about this. Our Ah Jian is the most self-disciplined person, and he is naturally unromantic. When a woman flirts with him, he even suspects that she has a cramp in her eyes. Tell me, how can he find a partner with this attitude?"
Tang Jing thought of Xu Jian's honest look and expressed her deep agreement.
No one in the Tang family expected Xu Jian to be such a person. Although they were embarrassed, they were more happy.
After Lin Ying explained her family's situation, she frankly asked Tang's mother about the Tang family's affairs.
Tang's mother felt a little inferior. She looked at her son and daughter, not knowing where to start.
Tang Yu took the initiative to answer for his mother, "Aunt, our hometown is in the deep mountains of the northwest, and it's very poor there. My sister and I had to take several buses to go to school, and then take a train to the county town. It took several days to go out.
We work hard so that our parents and future generations will no longer be trapped on that barren land.
I have worked hard in Guangdong Province over the years and it took me two years to buy this house. The moment I got the house, I immediately brought my parents over from my hometown. My other brothers and sisters all had families with them, and I really couldn’t take care of so many people, so I used the method that Sister Xinyue helped us with and sent the goods to my hometown.
Let my eldest brother, sister-in-law, sister and brother-in-law go to the town and the county to set up stalls and sell some cheap and useful things.
In recent years, their lives have obviously been much better than before. Our area is vast and sparsely populated, and even the land in the county town is not expensive.
They have saved money and bought land and built houses in the county town. They have all left their hometown.
We also have a second elder brother, who went out to work early and had hardly any contact with our family over the years. I contacted him again after I arrived in Guangdong Province, but we didn't get along and had a bad conversation, and now we have lost contact again.
I'm currently working in the financial sector, and my side job is wholesale. That's roughly the situation.
Although my family is not very rich, I have enough ability to take care of my parents and my third sister does not need to worry about them.
My brothers and sisters back home are now living a much better life, and they will not affect my third sister. "
Lin Ying immediately praised Tang Yu highly.
Having said so much, both parties are quite satisfied with the situation, and the next step is to discuss the wedding date, dowry, etc.
Lin Ying took out an old almanac from An Shi from her bag.
Xu Jian's eyelids twitched when he saw this.
Lin Ying ignored him and put the almanac in front of Tang Yu. "Take a look. Before I came here, I asked a Feng Shui master to help me. There are many good days at the end of the year. You can pick one and get married before the New Year.
As for the new house and car, you don't have to worry about them. My son has a ready-made big villa and luxury car in the city. He will buy new furniture and decorate it, and I guarantee you will be satisfied.
It's the same in my hometown. We have our own house in the city of Anshi, and we also have a self-built house in the town that is specially prepared for our children. It has not been occupied for many years, and the inside looks like a newly renovated house. So, if you are worried, you can come with us.
Jingjing has been to Anshi, but you haven't been there yet, so you can go and have some fun."
Tang's father and mother quickly shook their heads and politely refused.
Tang's mother said sincerely, "You are a very good family. I trust you. There is no need to look for a house. We will go after the two children get married."
Lin Ying slapped her thigh and excitedly held Tang's mother's hand, "That's fine! We will arrange a bus to pick you up, and provide food and accommodation, so that you can have a good time in An City for a few days."
The two families reached a consensus on this matter, and the next topic inevitably became the bride price and dowry.
Lin Ying didn't dare to be so casual when it came to the topic of money. She looked at Tang's mother earnestly and asked, "Just tell me what your family thinks about the bride price. Do you want to follow your customs or our rules? Or do you want to follow the Guangdong Province's gift?"
Tang's mother was a little at a loss. She subconsciously looked at Tang Jing and Tang Yu and said awkwardly, "Our hometown is very poor. When my first two daughters got married, the betrothal gifts were only a few hundred yuan. It's up to you to decide."
Lin Ying frowned immediately, "It's different now than it was before. Back then, the wedding gifts were also several hundred yuan. You can't calculate it this way."
Then she turned to look at Tang Jing, "Jingjing, what do you think?"
Tang Jing blushed and shook her head, "I'm fine with anything."
Seeing that her mother-in-law and her third aunt had become cowards at the critical moment, Ding Ruman quickly spoke up, "Aunt Lin, when Ayu married me, he gave me a gift of 80,000 yuan. If they don't have any ideas, they can refer to mine."
When she married Tang Yu, her parents were actually a bit difficult and deliberately raised the price of the bride price. They only agreed to let her marry when they saw that Tang Yu agreed without hesitation.
In fact, the standard dowry in her hometown is between 40,000 and 60,000 yuan.
Lin Ying laughed, "That's fine, but since it's a reference, we can't forget my niece. When she got married, the gift seemed to be..."
Lin Ying looked at Lin Qin.
Tang Jing knew a little bit about it, and hurriedly stopped her, "Aunt, Xinyue married a rich family in the capital, you can't compare with her, it's good enough to be my sister-in-law."
If she remembered correctly, Chen Xinyue's betrothal gift was not just money, but also many rare treasures, with a total value of over 100 million.
Lin Ying fell into deep thought.
Lin Qin at the side reminded her at the right moment, "Did you forget the jewelry we bought yesterday?"
Lin Ying's eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, and there are also jewelry! OK, then we'll follow your sister-in-law's standards, a betrothal gift of 100,000, plus jewelry, the bridal gown, wedding candies and cakes. We'll cover it all, and give you another 100,000."
