"Ruan Xi, how about we arrange for his parents to meet us?"
"What we're saying now is all speculation; perhaps things aren't like that at all."
Ruan Xi nodded, "Then I'll talk to Hua Ming about it later."
...
Sang Feiyu and Zhao Hui had specially changed into faded clothes today, which puzzled Ruan Xi. "Why are you dressed like this?"
Based on her understanding of them, they must be doing quite well.
They must have dressed like that on purpose, which is why she was curious.
"I'll tell you later," Zhao Hui said, keeping everyone in suspense.
Ruan Xi hesitated, thinking that they must have their reasons, and she would talk about it later.
Moreover, in those days, everyone on the street wore patched and faded clothes, so it didn't matter to them.
Zhao Hui glanced at the time. "Alright, let's set off now."
When they arrived at the state-run restaurant, He Huaming and his parents had already arrived.
They were quite enthusiastic; they immediately stood up as soon as they saw them coming.
However, when their gazes fell on Sang Feiyu and Zhao Hui's faded clothes, their expressions were identical, with a hint of disgust hidden in their eyes.
Zhao Hui and Sang Feiyu subtly took in the disdain in their eyes.
They're already complaining at the very beginning; this is nothing.
They felt nothing but contempt.
After the two sides introduced themselves, they took their seats.
"Sister Hui, right?"
"I heard from Huaming that your wedding gift to them was a radio. Isn't that too expensive?"
Zhao Hui thought to herself, "She's here, she's here. She's testing me!"
She feigned surprise, "No, I didn't say I was going to give them a wedding gift."
He Huaming couldn't help but ask, "Grandma Zhao, didn't you bring a radio with you?"
"yes."
He Huaming asked, "Then why did you bring a radio here? It's not a gift for us, so what is it for?"
"I have a habit of listening to the radio, so I always take it with me when I go on long trips."
The He family: ...
Undeterred, Ruan Xi asked again, "What are you planning to give as a wedding gift when Hua Ming and Xiao Xi get married?"
Zhao Hui shouldn't have asked in return, "My daughter Xiao Xi is going to marry into your family, how much dowry are you planning to give?"
The smile on He's mother's face froze. "The two children fell in love freely, why talk about dowry?"
"As long as they like each other, that's fine. We, as the younger generation, won't interfere."
"If you don't give a bride price when you marry a wife, then my Xiaoxi can't live in your house anymore."
“She has no obligation to serve her in-laws, because they did not give her a bride price.”
“We never planned for him to come and live with us. Doesn’t he have a house? After they get married, the young couple can live there,” Mother He replied.
Zhao Hui exclaimed in surprise, "Your son didn't give a bride price when he got married, and he's living at the bride's house. Isn't that like being a live-in son-in-law? Will he have to follow my little habits when he has children?"
Her voice was quite loud, and immediately everyone in the state-run restaurant turned to look at her.
The He family members felt uncomfortable being stared at, their faces turning pale and then flushed.
