After the deal was settled, Mingsen gave Auntie Chen 300 yuan and 30 feet of cloth coupons: "Auntie, this is the betrothal gift. Please count it. We will pay for the bicycle ticket later."
After proposing to Meimei, Chen's mother had already paid more than 600 yuan, so the 300 yuan was nothing. So she spread it out, looked at it, and put it away.
She glanced at Chen Sanni and then at Mingsen.
Although Mingsen was found by Chen Sanni, the Chen family also conducted an assessment before allowing Mingsen to propose marriage. They were quite satisfied with this gentle and introverted son-in-law.
Chen Sanni is a picky and strong-willed person. She has restrained herself a little in the past six months because she has been unemployed, but it is best for a couple to get along with each other if the other party is weaker.
Otherwise, their marriage will be full of conflicts. How can they live together?
It’s just that the performance is okay now, but I don’t know how it will be in the future.
Mother Chen sighed, "Girls should not be kept at home when they grow up. If they are kept, they will only bring trouble. Mingsen, I'll leave Sanni in your care from now on. She has a delicate personality, so remember to be considerate of her."
After these words were spoken, the Ming family members breathed a sigh of relief.
After receiving the betrothal gift, the mother-in-law approved of her son-in-law. The next step was to get engaged and the wedding date would not be far away.
Aunt Ming struck while the iron was hot: "Don't worry, I've watched Mingsen grow up. He has a very good temper and will definitely give in to Sanni. Besides, you two are a couple who give in to each other and have a harmonious relationship. By the way, when is a convenient date for the engagement?"
"Her brother is getting married at the end of the year, so she can't be late in the order of things. So, her birthday on July 20th happens to be on the weekend, so we can get engaged and announce the date."
Aunt Ming smiled happily and said, "Okay, don't worry, I will definitely send the bicycle tickets to you before that day."
The two families settled the important matter and happily prepared a meal.
The Ming family was very happy. This was already a very easy-going mother-in-law. There were countless others who added conditions at the last minute and deliberately made things difficult for them.
Especially since Chen Sanni's two younger brothers are still unmarried, if Chen's mother gets carried away and wants to prepare betrothal gifts for Chen Wei and Chen Liang, that would be a real surprise.
It's just a pity about the thirty feet of cloth coupons. They originally agreed to give me a bicycle ticket, but he insisted on playing tricks and putting in thirty feet of cloth coupons.
After dinner, Chen Ma was not an unreasonable person and asked Chen Sanni to go downstairs to see the Ming family off.
The Ming family members were not stupid either. They all ran as fast as they could, their feet almost sending sparks flying. They left the young couple behind and followed them from a distance.
"You look really good today."
It was getting late, and Mingsen saw that Chen Sanni's profile was gilded in the sunset, and the silver earrings swaying on her ears looked like lotus flowers swaying in the wind, which was particularly soft and beautiful.
Chen Sanni blushed now: "What are you talking about? It's broad daylight, stop talking nonsense."
Mingsen said innocently, "I'm serious. I'm happy when I think about you becoming my wife. If we get married before the end of the year, we can apply for a house and live there on our own."
He had his own considerations in choosing Chen Sanni. Who in the factory didn't know that Chen Wei had risen to the leadership level?
Thanks to his quick action, he also offered the highest bride price. Although it was his second marriage, he got a formal job based on his own ability, so he and Chen Sanni were a good match.
Even if I have to pay off the debt in the next few years, there is nothing I can do about it. There is a price to pay for marrying a beautiful woman.
The brother-in-law is so promising that he is not afraid of not helping his brother-in-law who works in the same factory as him. Among the three sisters of the Chen family, Chen Erni went to the countryside and Chen Dani married a man who works in a department store. Only he, the third brother-in-law, benefited the most.
Even if Chen Sanni had major flaws, he could only tolerate it. What's more, she was just a little spoiled. He could just coax her more, say nice things to her, and stroke her fur, and that would be it.
When distributing the houses, let Chen Wei, the brother-in-law, come forward and talk to the factory. If a leader wants to arrange a house for his brother-in-law, isn't that just a matter of a word?
Thinking of this, Mingsen spoke sweet words to Chen Sanni.
After all, he had a wife, and he spoke so many nice words that Chen Sanni felt shy: "Stop being so smooth-talking. Don't forget what you promised my mother."
A bicycle ticket is 60 yuan, not too much.
But a regular worker would have to go without food or drink for three months before he could get the money.
Fortunately, Mingsen's mother agreed, so Mingsen didn't have to pay.
Mingsen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely satisfy Auntie. Oh, and my sister-in-law works at the steel mill. Does she have any bicycle tickets? My family can exchange them for 60 yuan."
He joined the Chen family just for his brother-in-law, so naturally he couldn't take advantage of his brother's wife.
Favors are formed through interactions. If you do someone a small favor and then go to their house to express your gratitude, doesn't that make you familiar with them?
Chen Sanni was also unsure: "I'll ask Meimei for you, but I don't know if she can get it."
"No matter if it works or not, I want to thank her for helping me find out, and thank you for your hard work in passing the message on to me." Mingsen was secretly happy and said some nice words.
Chen Sanni, who was coaxed into a trance, was also happy. She talked to him for a few more words and ran home happily to ask Xiang Meimei.
Mingsen stood there and watched Chen Sanni run away. The tenderness in his eyes lasted until she returned to the Chen family and closed the door before turning around to catch up with the Ming family.
You have to act completely. If a woman falls in love with you and looks back at you and leaves without any regrets, then all his previous efforts will be in vain.
I have to say that Mingsen is quite capable to stand out from Chen Sanni's crowd of suitors.
It is very rare in this patriarchal era to be able to understand women's psychology and be willing to humble yourself to please others. Chen Sanni was calculated to death, but she was happy to accept it.
Of course, as long as the Chen family remains so powerful and promotes him in his career, Mingsen can pretend for the rest of his life. Isn't it just to please his partner? How simple.
You see, if you coax Chen Sanni, Chen Sanni will settle the Chen family herself, and you will get twice the result with half the effort.
