After a moment of silence, Wang Fangfang replied, "In my family, it's considered marrying off a daughter."
Everyone understood. What she meant was that in their local area, the girl's parents accepting the bride price was considered selling their daughter, but it was different in their family. It was still considered marrying their daughter.
Regardless of whether she meant it sincerely or not, this sentence was enough to make Sun Xiu happy. "Let's do as you say. The betrothal gift is 6,600 yuan. We won't take a penny and will give it all to the two children."
Hearing this, Li Haitao and his family couldn't help but show excitement.
This was not because of the money, but because they knew that the marriage was a done deal.
Next, the two adults discussed the wedding date.
Li Haitao's family hopes that the two can get married as soon as possible, preferably this year. Sun Xiu and his wife said that this year is not possible, and the earliest they can do it is the end of next year.
There is no way. If she gets married this year, it will be difficult to give Li Ju the huge dowry that everyone has prepared.
According to Li Xu's speculation, his family's situation will be exposed by the end of next year at the latest, and it will not matter how huge the dowry is at that time.
Seeing that Sun Xiu and his wife insisted on setting the wedding date at the end of next year, Li Chengcai and his wife had no choice but to agree.
At this time, Li Chen stood up and walked outside, drove the younger generations who were stretching their necks to look into the house back to their rooms, and told them that they were not allowed to come out unless someone called them.
After the younger generations left dejectedly, Li Chen nodded to his parents who were sitting at the top.
After receiving the signal, Li Jiakang took out a box from the cabinet next to him and signaled Li Ping to put it in front of Li Chengcai and his wife.
Li Haitao's family members were all confused and didn't know what this meant.
Li Chengcai looked at the box hesitantly and asked, "What is this?"
Li Jiakang explained, "This is a men's watch. It's also part of my daughter's dowry. Haitao can wear this watch first."
This is the watch that the Li brothers brought back years ago, specially prepared for Li Ju's future husband.
This was done to reassure Li Chengcai and his wife, and also to demonstrate their own strength.
After all, the marriage has been decided, and it would be very rude to hide some things.
Li Chengcai was stunned. "Is this appropriate?"
"It fits, don't worry, wear it. The rest of the trousseau is not ready yet, I'll tell you before the wedding."
Hearing him say this, Li Chengcai opened the box.
When he saw the exquisite watch inside, a thought suddenly popped up in his mind: this watch is not cheap.
After looking at the English letters on the watch, he found that he didn't recognize the brand.
However, in order to avoid embarrassment, he did not ask any more questions and directly put the watch in front of Li Haitao.
Seeing this, Li Jiakang slowly said, "This watch was bought from Hong Kong. It's not cheap. Haitao, be careful when wearing it."
"Huh?" Li Haitao and his family were a little dumbfounded. "Hong Kong?"
"Yes, my family has a relative in Hong Kong, and my three sons are helping him manage his business."
Hearing this, Li Chengcai and Li Chengliang's eyes turned red instantly.
Because they got a very important message from this sentence.
That is, Li Jiakang’s relatives in Hong Kong are relatively wealthy and take good care of their family.
As people in officialdom, Li Chengcai and the other man certainly have a heart that is striving for progress.
However, in officialdom, having heart alone is useless. Given their family circumstances and their own abilities, their current positions are almost their limit.
However, Li Jiakang's relatives as Hong Kong businessmen gave them hope of promotion.
How can they not be excited?
Fortunately, they were not overwhelmed by the news and knew what to say and what not to say.
Li Chengcai tried hard to appear calm and said, "Brother Li, you should take the watch back. It's such a valuable item. If anything goes wrong with it, we won't be able to explain ourselves."
This watch is Li Ju's dowry and must be shown on the wedding day.
If anything went wrong, he was worried that Li Jiakang's family would be angry.
"It's okay, wear it." Li Jiakang waved his hand with a smile, "This thing is valuable, but not as valuable as you think. I reminded Haitao just to let him know the value."
Li Chengcai's mouth twitched, and he began to understand that this was a show of strength to his family.
Listen to what you are saying. Isn't this just saying that this watch is nothing to your family?
At this time, Li Chengcai made up his mind and decided to go back and ask someone about the brand and price of the watch.
He wanted to see how strong these muscles were.
Then he warned Li Haitao, "Haitao, you must watch your watch carefully. Don't let it get into trouble. Do you understand?"
"Don't worry, I know what's going on." Li Haitao said as he put the watch on his wrist, then looked respectfully at Li Jiakang and his wife, "Thank you, uncle and aunt."
"We're a family from now on, no need to be so polite." After replying, Sun Xiu instructed, "Boss, introduce our family situation to Haitao."
Previously, Li Ping had introduced his family members in a rather rough manner, only introducing their names and their relationship with Li Ju, without mentioning anything else.
Now that Li Haitao and Li Ju's marriage has been finalized, it is natural to introduce them in more detail.
In fact, the details here refer to adding each person’s occupation. For example, Li Ping’s own occupation is to help his cousin manage the business outside.
Hu Guilan's job is to take care of the elderly and children at home, and Li Mei's job is the second-in-command in the county.
That’s right, Li Mei was promoted again last year, and now her administrative level is level thirteen.
