The assistant accepted the order and left.
Currently, there are no comprehensive department stores in Beijing. The kind of department stores where you can buy anything in the future will not appear for another year or two. Once the department stores are open, everyone will go shopping at the department stores.
Liuguang and Mandarin will have better places to go.
But now, all we can do is move forward with difficulty.
After Chu Yu left, Dai Donglin seemed off for several days. Seeing his expression, Wei Mingyuan couldn't help but smugly show off the marriage certificate in his hand:
"Some people, are they thinking about women? If you ask me, there's no need to find a girlfriend who's too outstanding. Outstanding women are wild, disobedient, and might even flirt with other men outside. Unlike my Zhuo Linmei, she's beautiful, sensible, obedient, and a good homemaker. We got married right away, without all the complicated procedures."
Dai Donglin frowned. Was Wei Mingyuan trying to cause trouble?
"Wei Mingyuan, what do you mean?"
"What do I mean? What could I possibly mean?" Wei Mingyuan smiled, feigning concern. "I'm just reminding some people that as long as you're not married, it doesn't matter! Women are different before and after marriage. Some women have many demands. When they get married, they want a dowry, a bicycle, a color TV, a wardrobe, and so on. What is that called? That's called being wasteful! Who wants to marry a wasteful woman who can't do anything except dress up and has to be served like a queen? My Zhuo Linmei is different. Zhuo Linmei doesn't want anything when she gets married. She said she loves me for who I am!"
Seeing that Dai Donglin's expression was off, his teammates stopped him, afraid that he would actually go up and beat up Wei Mingyuan.
"Captain Wei, what did you mean by that?"
"Exactly, Captain Wei's words were too harsh. Besides, isn't your Zhuo Linmei someone who knows nothing but dressing up? Everyone knows she's the most beautiful girl in the troupe, always looking down on everyone else. I heard from others that Zhuo Linmei had already told people that Captain Wei wanted to give her a dowry of five hundred yuan, plus three pieces of gold jewelry. Captain Wei had promised all of this. What, Captain Wei has changed his mind again?"
Wei Mingyuan never expected Zhuo Linmei to say that to others.
He stammered nervously, "When did I ever say I was going to give her five hundred yuan and three pieces of gold jewelry? I'm marrying a wife, not buying a pig, and I don't expect to calculate the price. Marriage in this new era can't be about money. Everyone's marriage is based on love. If you lack something, you should work for it yourself. Who gives a bride price? These are all old customs, feudal dregs. Zhuo Linmei isn't that kind of person."
The teammates exchanged knowing glances; everyone knew about Wei Mingyuan's family situation.
Wei Mingyuan's family was not well-off; his mother and many sisters depended on him for their livelihood.
Wei Mingyuan sends money home on time every month. His money is all in his mother's hands. Where would he get five hundred yuan to get a wife?
