After the family compound became lively, everyone saw Xiang Meimei sitting in the back seat of Chen Wei's car, and they had no idea what it meant.
"Congratulations, wedding candy! Wedding candy!" Several little kids surrounded the two people who got out of the car, their eyes sparkling.
Xiang Meimei blushed and said that she didn't bring it today and would give it to everyone when she got married.
Having watched the girl grow up, these people could understand and quickly pulled the ignorant kid away. Some of the kids were so noisy that they were slapped twice by their parents.
The two of them then breathed a sigh of relief, smiled at each other, and locked their bicycles in the corridor.
On their way here, they thought of buying a lock. Fortunately, there was one at the gate of the steel factory, so they bought a pair.
The two of them happily entered the Xiang family.
"Auntie, this pair of earrings and ring is my apology on behalf of my mother. She speaks frankly and has good intentions." Chen Wei took out two jewelry boxes and opened them for Zhang Jidi to look at.
How could a woman not know the price of gold jewelry? Zhang Jidi was very surprised. She didn't expect the Chen family to be so generous. She was busy plucking the chicken and took a look:
"Okay, you can leave it there. I'm a mess. Dawei is so thoughtful. Whatever dish you like, I'll make it for you tonight."
Chen Wei took out his watch again and opened it to show Zhang Jidi: "I'm not picky, Auntie, anything is fine. This watch is Phoenix brand, Meimei fell in love with it at first sight, take a look."
After all, it was a huge expense, so Zhang Jidi was satisfied: "Okay, come early in the evening. I have stewed chicken here, drink it while it's hot."
Chen Wei said tactfully, "Thank you for buying me the bicycle, Auntie. Can I ride it back home to show it to my family?"
"It's for you two to ride. Go back and be careful on the road."
The more Zhang Jidi looked at his son-in-law, the more satisfied he became, and he said with a smile on his face.
After all, she was given enough face when it came to the betrothal gift. Zhang Jidi had everything he wanted, and even more. What else could she say?
After he left, Zhang Jidi glanced at the jewelry on the table, turned around and shouted into the house: "Meimei, come out and pack your things."
Xiang Meimei was very happy sitting in the room. She finally felt safe and secure as everything had settled. She had been upset with her mother for a long time because of the marriage.
When she heard someone calling her, she came out immediately: "Mom, I'll pack up right away. Oh, by the way, I met an older woman at the jewelry counter. Her little daughter is 18 years old and works in the same factory as you. Her name is Wang Chunting. She's about the same height as me..."
The more Zhang Jidi listened, the more confused he became. Why was her daughter talking about this person for no reason?
She stopped plucking and glanced at Xiang Meimei: "Just tell me what you want to do."
"Are these conditions good enough for big brother?" Xiang Meimei squatted down to help her mother pluck the hair. She had done it many times since she was a child and her movements were quick and skillful.
She lowered her voice and glanced at the rooms of the three brothers next door, afraid that Xiang Liguo would hear her.
Zhang Jidi thought about it carefully in his mind and shook his head. "How can I remember so many people in the coal factory? Let me go to the factory and look for her. She's called Wang Chunting, right? A name is enough."
Don't underestimate the network of relationships among the masses, especially aunties like Zhang Jidi. Gossip spreads very quickly. A scandal in the east of the county town can spread to the west of the county town in less than a day.
Coal plant and Wang Chunting, these two key pieces of information are enough.
On the other side, Chen Wei rode his shiny bicycle back to Chen's house.
The people in the match factory were also very interested in this and came to watch. Some close elders even came to congratulate him on winning the beauty.
Well, they are not blind. Mother Chen went to see Grandma Chen several times, and each time she went to the steel plant compound. Even if she didn't ask, she would know why by just asking around.
Did you buy a new bicycle just to show off?
Who would be willing to spend two hundred dollars to buy this thing? It must be because they need it.
Chen Wei was in trouble when his mother came down with some melon seeds and candies, shared them with everyone, and finally rescued him.
When they got home, Chen's mother sat down first and asked, "What happened to your car? Didn't you buy a watch for Meimei?"
Since she paid for the watch, it was for her daughter-in-law. Why did this brat buy a bicycle for her? Could it be...
Chen Wei said with a happy face: "Mom, this is a beautiful dowry, it cost 180 yuan!"
"What did the Xiang family say?" Aunt Chen had seen Zhang Jidi being very fussy, but she didn't expect him to be so generous all of a sudden.
Half of the betrothal gift was spent on buying the car. Zhang Jidi would definitely not do the unpleasant thing of asking his daughter to take only two sets of clothes with her when going out. Judging from this, she did not lose out by marrying her son.
"No, when I went to buy a watch, Meimei said she had two hundred yuan in cash. We went to buy a car together and chose the best 28-bar model. We almost didn't have enough money."
When Mother Chen heard this, she realized that this daughter-in-law was indeed thinking about the family, and her mother-in-law also agreed, which showed that she had chosen a good relative!
She couldn't help but smile. After all, Xiang Meimei was not only beautiful, but also had no burden on her family and could help her son with his career. What else could she say about such a good daughter-in-law?
"You silly child, don't you know how to be more considerate? By the way, what kind of beautiful watches and jewelry did you buy?" Mother Chen's expression relaxed a lot when she realized that her daughter-in-law was reliable.
Knowing that he had helped his daughter-in-law pass this hurdle of the mother-in-law, Chen Wei breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "I bought her a Phoenix watch for 160 yuan. She felt sorry for me. When I took out the Patek Philippe watch and told her it was over 200 yuan, she immediately asked the cashier to take it away.
I bought a gold ring, it was about 3 grams, I think, I don't remember exactly, but it cost 16.5 yuan.
He slightly changed some details and immediately made Mother Chen very satisfied with her new daughter-in-law.
