From five to seven o'clock, it was dark and Fang Chunlan was in despair when the old lady finally came.
There was not only her, Yang Guoqing also came in with her.
Yang Guoqing is two years older than Wu Jiahong. Although he is from the countryside, his ancestors have worked in the city and his knowledge is no less than that of city people. In addition, his good family background makes his temperament look more noble than Wu Jiadong. Especially with his majestic appearance, he looks outstanding.
Fang Chunlan fell in love with him at first sight. She originally thought that anyone who was willing to spend so much money to find a wife would probably have a hidden illness, be old, or be extremely ugly. She didn't expect that the person who came would be such an energetic young man.
Fang Chunlan's vague feeling of apology towards Wu Jiahong suddenly vanished.
It’s obvious that she is an excellent match. If it weren’t for her, where would that silly girl Jiahong find such a match?
Fang Chunlan enthusiastically led the two into the house and brought Wu Jiahong out to meet people.
Yang Guoqing glanced at her pretending to be indifferent, and when he saw that she was wearing the Lenin suit, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, and then he returned to normal.
Before Fang Chunlan's tea was even served, the old lady looked Wu Jiahong up and down and said with some disdain, "Sister, this is your daughter? She doesn't look like my nephew."
The smile on Xiang Meilan's face froze instantly. Was this saying that Jiahong was too... too ugly?
Although I know that she was asked by Cheng Maixiang and Lin Jiayu to act, and I also know that she did this to lower the price for Yang Guoqing, but a girl still felt a little resentful when she was said to be ugly in public.
Yang Guoqing winked at her quietly, telling her not to take it seriously.
The old lady seemed to be unable to bear to look at Wu Jiahong. "Big sister, your daughter is worth 300 yuan in betrothal gifts. Do you really dare to ask for it?"
Fang Chunlan saw that the old lady started to lower the price as soon as they met, and she hurriedly defended herself, saying, "Sister, although my daughter is not as pretty as a fairy, she is also quite capable. I am not bragging. She has been washing clothes and cooking since she was a child. She is good at all kinds of housework. She even went to the countryside to work and is not afraid of doing farm work.
"Sister, when we marry a daughter-in-law, we not only look at her face, but also her temperament. My daughter has a gentle temperament and has never gotten angry with anyone since she was a child. I guarantee that she won't cause trouble in her husband's family if we marry her. If she is like this, I will never ask how her husband's family will deal with her."
Even if I don't cause trouble and get bullied at my in-laws' house, I'm afraid you won't pay any attention. Instead, you'll blame me for being ignorant and making my in-laws angry.
Wu Jiahong smiled bitterly, but saw Yang Guoqing secretly glanced at her with eyes full of pity.
Wu Jiahong's heart instantly warmed up.
Seeing the old lady was silent and hesitant, Fang Chunlan was afraid that the deal would fail, so she smiled and said, "Sister, we can talk about the price later. You haven't eaten yet, right? Let's eat first and then we can talk."
The old lady and Yang Guoqing came over after dinner. They both shook their heads and declined. Fang Chunlan had no choice but to bring over the peanuts and melon seeds she had bought.
The old lady glanced at Wu Jiahong and said, "Sister, we are both honest people. I won't play those empty words with you. To be honest, I really don't like your daughter.
And looking at your family's financial situation, I'm afraid that when my daughter gets married, she will have to help her parents. But my daughter's birthday is so good, I'm a little reluctant to let her go."
Fang Chunlan pondered the old lady's words carefully and slowly tasted some of their meaning.
Although she said openly that she didn't like her daughter, she didn't say anything final. It seemed that there was room for negotiation. It was estimated that she either wanted her to lower the price of the betrothal gift, or wanted her family to promise that after her daughter got married, she would no longer have any connection with her parents' family, especially in terms of money.
Fang Chunlan thought for a moment, then turned to Yang Guoqing, who had remained silent the entire time, and asked, "Xiao Yang, what do you think of my daughter?"
Yang Guoqing said expressionlessly, "My mother told me to obey my aunt in everything."
If your aunt tells you to die, will you die too?
Fang Chunlan couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart, but she didn't dare show it on her face. She lowered her head and kept thinking.
Seeing that Yang Guoqing was dressed in a very impressive manner, she could guess, even though the old lady didn't say it, that he came from a wealthy family. She also had the idea of letting him support her son in the future, but she didn't expect the old lady to reveal it all.
Now, from what the old lady said, she was willing to agree to Jiahong and Xiaoyang's marriage, but she was afraid that she would have to lower the conditions originally proposed. This made Fang Chunlan, who was originally very ambitious, a little discouraged.
However, she also knew that she did not have the capital to bid. After her daughter's engagement was broken off by the Zheng family, she already had a zodiac sign that would affect the reputation of her husband's family. If this blind date did not work out, she was afraid that she would never be wanted by such a good family as today again.
Fang Chunlan made the decision instantly.
"Sis, since you're so straightforward, I won't beat around the bush. Just tell me what it takes for you to agree to this marriage."
Seeing that Cheng Maixiang and Lin Jiayu's strategy was indeed effective, the old lady immediately said, "I can agree to this marriage, and I can also give you the 300 yuan betrothal gift, but there is one condition: you must sign and seal. From now on, this child has no relationship with your Wu family. Otherwise, let's call it a day."
"Okay!" Fang Chunlan agreed without thinking.
To be honest, she had anticipated the severance of the relationship, and she even expected the other party to lower the price of the betrothal gift, but she didn't expect the other party to give it at the original price, which was much higher than her psychological price.
Although she was mentally prepared, the old lady still didn't expect Fang Chunlan to agree so readily. She couldn't help but feel a little disgusted and wanted to finish these things quickly so that she could leave this ugly woman.
