Chapter 35: Invite the in-laws and send the dowry by mail

Chu Sangning was too guilty to speak. He nodded silently and called Jiang Panan after dinner. "Come on, I'll take you to the back mountain to catch rabbits today."

"Okay, okay. Grandma, we'll go first." Jiang Pan'an took Chu Sangning and left. The two of them were completely heartless.

Here, Chu Sangning was troubled by Jiang Xingyan, and over there, the Luo family was also in chaos.

Old Mrs. Luo felt that Zhao Jiayun had betrayed her son. After returning home, she quarreled every three days and made a big noise every five days, making the neighbors uneasy.

Today, it started again. Hearing the sound of "ping-pong-pong", the couple next door to the Luo family shook their heads helplessly. The man ate his food and asked, "How many times?"

The woman served the man soup and paused, "This is the fourth time."

Zhao Jiayun slammed the table impatiently: "What on earth are you going to do? My parents don't even know."

She wouldn't even let her eat in the morning, and kept asking her all sorts of questions. She also asked her parents to come over for the wedding. Zhao Jiayun was almost annoyed to death.

Her parents would definitely not come over. If they knew that she had married a man from the countryside, Zhao Jiayun suspected that her father would just throw out his things and vacate the house for his younger brothers to live in.

Old Lady Luo looked at Zhao Jiayun shrewdly and said tentatively, "How can a daughter's wedding not have her parents come? Go ask. I'll let Yiping accompany you to the city today."

Zhao Jiayun was extremely annoyed. She had been told many times that her parents would not come back. There was no way they would travel all the way from the city for her sake.

If her parents knew that she had used some tricks to marry Luo Yiping, they would have given up on her.

Zhao Jiayun kept refusing, and Mrs. Luo couldn't help it anymore. She shouted in a loud voice: "You can afford to lose this person, but we in the Luo family can't. If your parents don't come, this wedding will not take place."

"You and Yiping go to the city to get a marriage certificate, and then the matter will be settled."

Old Mrs. Luo made it clear that as long as Zhao Jiayun's parents didn't come, they couldn't set up a table for a banquet in the village.

Originally, she had her eyes on Chu Sangning because her father was an official with a good job. He was nothing like Zhao Jiayun, who was always picky and wanted things from her and gave her the cold shoulder all day.

Zhao Jiayun looked at Luo Yiping for help, imitating Chu Sangning's voice, pinching her throat and shouting softly: "Yiping, my family lives too far away. It would be too much trouble for me to come here for my marriage. How about forget it?"

Luo Yiping didn't smile either, and said coldly: "Didn't you say your parents love you very much? Why didn't they come to your wedding?"

"I, Yiping, it won't be too late to go back to see our parents after we get married."

Zhao Jiayun had thought it through. Now she was keeping it a secret from her parents. When Luo Yiping became successful and they returned home with wealth, her parents would definitely approve of Luo Yiping.

This reason may fool Luo Yiping, but it cannot fool Old Lady Luo. She cleared her throat and said, "Son, don't be fooled. You must listen to me on this matter."

Luo Yiping nodded indifferently, wondering if Zhao Jiayun had drugged him before? Why did he feel that she was gentle and generous?

Now this woman with calculating eyes is going to spend her life with him, Luo Yiping doesn't dare to think about the future.

"Listen to me, pack up and go to the city to tell your parents."

No matter how small a fly is, it is still meat. Old Mrs. Luo thought: an educated youth is still an educated youth after all, even if it is Zhao Jiayun, the dowry will definitely not be small.

Two hours later, Zhao Jiayun looked at Luo Yiping in panic, holding the ticket and money, standing at the door of the post office.

She nervously pulled Luo Yiping, with an unnatural smile on her face, "Yiping, it's okay to tell me or not. My dad is busy with work and may not answer the call."

"It's okay. It's a big deal in life. Don't worry about the money. I'll pay for it. Just decide."

It costs a lot of money to make a phone call at the post office. In order to keep Zhao Jiayun, the god of wealth, Mrs. Luo generously gave the money and insisted that Zhao Jiayun notify his parents.

There were two beeps from the other end, and Zhao Jiayun held the phone nervously.

"Hello?" the person on the other end of the phone asked casually.

"Dad, it's me, Jiayun." Zhao Jiayun's scalp went numb when she heard her father's voice.

Her father had a bad temper, and she didn't even dare to believe what the consequences would be if she told him.

"What's the matter?" Father Zhao asked coldly when he heard the young lady's voice without any fluctuation.

Zhao Jiayun took a look at Luo Yiping beside him and said, "Dad, I...I'm getting married."

Father Zhao frowned: "Marriage?"

"Well, I'm going to get married to Luo Yiping in a few days. He's a really nice guy, down-to-earth and hardworking." Zhao Jiayun praised Luo Yiping's good points in front of her father.

When Mr. Zhao heard that his daughter had married a farmer in the countryside, his face turned pale and he suppressed his anger: "Okay, I'm busy with your mother and I won't go over. I'll send you the dowry in two days."

Zhao Jiayun heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this. The more dowry a woman had, the more favored she would be in her husband's family, so it wouldn't matter even if her parents didn't come.

After a few quick pleasantries, Zhao Jiayun hung up the phone and said happily, "Yiping, my parents said they would send me the dowry in a while. They are busy with work and can't come over."

Zhao's father also worked in the factory, but unlike Chu's father, Zhao's father was still a dispatched employee for most of his life.

Zhao's mother did not work and stayed at home to take care of her two young sons, making Zhao Jiayun seem almost invisible.

So when Zhao Jiayun said that she married and moved to the countryside, Zhao's father didn't show any concern. He thought it was good that the two children could live in the room even if the girl was not there.

As soon as the ox cart arrived at Changxing Village, Old Lady Luo ran up to them anxiously, "What's going on? Are your parents coming?"

"They are too busy to come, but they said they will definitely give me enough for my dowry and will mail it to me in a few days."

Mrs. Luo's expression was gloomy one second ago, but she smiled happily the next second when she heard about the wedding dress, and gently asked the two to go home and rest: "Okay, your parents are busy, it's okay if you don't come, it's okay."

Zhao Jiayun and Luo Yiping's relationship was settled.

At the Jiang family, Chu Sangning and Jiang Pan'an went out for the whole morning and caught two rabbits. Lin Xiuzhi was very happy and asked, "Sangning, what flavor do you want to eat? Stir-fried or grilled?"

"Auntie, why don't we keep it to give birth to baby rabbits." Rabbits reproduce every two months and can give birth to six or seven rabbits at a time. This way they can eat a lot of rabbit meat.

Lin Xiuzhi nodded in agreement to everything she said, but Jiang Xingyan walked up to the rabbit, grabbed its legs, and took a look: "They are all male."

"Ah?" Chu Sangning showed a bewildered expression, and a crack appeared under her elegant mask. She clearly took a pair of rabbits from space.

Why are they all male? It turns out that love knows no gender. It would be great if Jiang Xingyan could understand this.
