Wang Lanhua glared at her through gritted teeth. This brat, now she's even using Gu Yanbai to intimidate them.
But she... had no way to help!
With this brat provoking her first, and Su Jianguo's deathly gaze following her second, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.
My mind raced, trying to figure out what to do next.
Fu Gui is quite something; he has a big project in his hands, and he's sure to make a fortune.
As long as she invests now, he will receive dividends later.
She's still waiting for Fugui to give her dividends, how can she ask for that money back?
But if I don't go, how am I going to make excuses later?
Seeing that Su Jianguo had lost his temper, Su Jiaojiao dared not utter another word and simply buried her head in her food.
After the meal, Wang Lanhua dawdled as she went to her parents' home.
No one knows what method she came up with, but Wang Lanhua managed to pull out one hundred yuan from her pocket.
Su Jianguo was well aware that it would be difficult to get all the money back at once.
However, with this hundred yuan, it's barely enough to hold a wedding.
Soon the house was bustling with activity as a carpenter was hired to make all sorts of furniture.
I bought some cotton to make quilts and some cloth to sew quilt covers.
Wang Lanhua went to the supply and marketing cooperative again and bought two enamel basins with magpies perched on branches printed on them.
Two enamel plates printed with the character "double happiness," along with some candy, fabric, pillowcases, towels, and the like, were prepared for the wedding banquet.
Of course, she was unwilling to do these things at all and had considered doing them perfunctorily.
However, Su Jianguo is still recovering from his illness and cannot go to work in the fields.
With nothing else to do, he focused solely on this matter.
Su Jianguo was a proud man, and he didn't want to become the subject of gossip among the villagers.
Moreover, he genuinely wanted to make it up to Su Nianxue, so he kept a close eye on the dowry.
Wang Lanhua had no choice but to obediently handle the matter while making a mess of things.
She was so frustrated.
Moreover, what she was more worried about was what would happen to her daughter in the future.
Su Jianguo had thoroughly investigated Fugui's family's finances, and even if Fugui repaid the money, Su Jianguo would likely keep the money in his own hands.
Jiaojiao isn't his biological daughter, and now she's lost his favor. What will he do in the future?
She's so worried!
Su Nianxue pretended not to see any of this and obediently did what she was supposed to do.
Finally, on the third day after Su Jianguo was discharged from the hospital, Gu Yanbai brought his grandfather to visit the Su family.
Although Su Jianguo was very dissatisfied with the marriage, he had only survived because of the dowry from his future son-in-law!
Without realizing it, the straight spine bent down.
Even my father-in-law's airs are starting to get a bit out of hand!
Moreover, he was secretly a little afraid of him; that guy was tall and strong, with a muscular body and a fierce look on his face.
He was worried for his daughter. How could she sleep peacefully with such a fierce face in front of her?
"Sit down!" He tried to put on a serious expression, but the thick bandage wrapped around his head looked ridiculous no matter how you looked at it.
Grandpa Gu nodded, and Gu Yanbai handed the things he was carrying to Wang Lanhua and sat down next to the old man.
Wang Lanhua looked at these things with a happy expression: a string of pork, which she estimated to weigh three or four pounds, a fish, two packets of pastries, a bottle of wine, and a packet of candy.
While it wasn't exactly lavish, it was certainly a considerable amount.
She happily carried the things to the kitchen, and took Su Jiaojiao with her.
Su Nianxue went to the kitchen and poured a glass of water for each of them.
Grandpa Gu had been looking her over ever since he entered the door. She was pretty, with big eyes, a small nose, and fair skin. She always had a gentle smile on her face.
You little rascal, you have good taste!
"Grandpa, have some water." Su Nianxue picked up the sugar water with both hands and respectfully handed it to him.
"Okay, okay." The old man forced a smile, but he rarely smiled, so the smile looked stiff and unnatural.
Gu Yanbai glanced at the old man and whispered, "If you can't laugh, then don't laugh. It looks awful to laugh like that."
The old man was furious. This brat is asking for a beating!
Doesn't he even consider who he's running so far for?
But fearing he might frighten his granddaughter-in-law, he had no choice but to write down the beating.
Su Nianxue delivered the water and then went to the kitchen to help with the cooking.
I wonder what they talked about?
All I know is that the wedding date is set for the eighth day of the fourth lunar month.
It is said that this day is auspicious and suitable for marriage!
After they finished eating, Su Nianxue saw them out of the courtyard.
Once everyone was out of sight, Gu Yanbai pulled out a wad of cash from his pocket. "Here, this is the betrothal gift!"
"Didn't I already give it to her?" He gave her a full six hundred yuan last time, which was quite a lot.
"That one is mine, and this one is Grandpa's."
"You didn't want to spend money on them, so here you are."
What he didn't say was that the old man originally intended to give the money to Su Jianguo, since it's common practice for betrothal gifts to be kept by the parents.
But then he remembered that she wouldn't even give Wang Lanhua fruit, so she certainly wouldn't want to give her money either.
So, he had to speak softly to the old man, which was a rare occurrence, to get the money back.
The old man walked ahead, pretending not to notice the commotion behind him, but he was actually listening the whole time!
The little rascal has finally come to his senses and knows how to go along with his wife's wishes.
Over the years, his marriage has become a major problem!
He has a sharp tongue, a fiery temper, and is quick to fight if he disagrees with someone. He also hangs out with the gang of hooligans in town.
Everyone in the surrounding villages knows him.
Who would be willing to marry their daughter to him?
