Chapter 454: Dowry
Soon the convoy stopped and many people got off the cars!
Led by Mr. Xiao, the big boss, Xiao Yongbo and one of today's protagonists, Xiao Tianyu.
Following closely behind were Xiao's relatives and friends and a long procession carrying betrothal gifts, which was quite spectacular.
The Li family naturally welcomed them warmly and even arranged for a young and strong man to help choose the betrothal gifts.
Xiao Tianyu spotted his soon-to-be-fiancée in the crowd at a glance. She was so beautiful!
Even in a situation with so many people, she is the most conspicuous one.
She wore a Suzhou embroidery cheongsam with a gold-embroidered phoenix and peony, which showed her elegance and nobility, making her look like someone from outer space.
He walked up to her and gave her a big hug, then handed her the fan-shaped lily of the valley bouquet in his hand.
Only when you hold such a beautiful person in your arms can you feel a moment of reality.
He was wearing a neatly tailored Zhongshan suit, and the two of them standing together were quite eye-catching. They were a talented man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven.
The two families were already familiar with each other and had a very good relationship. After a brief greeting, they took everyone into the decorated restaurant.
A special person will count and place the various betrothal gifts on a table that has been prepared in advance.
Soon, the betrothal gifts were counted by the Li family.
The great-grandfather, one of the statisticians, looked at the betrothal gift list in his hand and then at the table filled with betrothal gifts.
I couldn't help but sigh deeply that this betrothal gift was too expensive.
The kid from the Xiao family spent a lot of money for the girl from their family!
Afterwards, the betrothal gift was announced.
Jewelry, gold, silver and jade ornaments, gold bars, various gold accessories, precious Chinese herbal medicines, real estate, shops, luxury cars, shares of multiple companies, etc.
There are also necessary gifts for engagement and a betrothal gift of 6888W.
Of course, the 68.88 million yuan betrothal gift only had a few stacks of hundred-yuan bills to show off, and the rest was represented by bank cards.
After the long list of betrothal gifts was read out, the guests in the audience could only gasp.
If every family has this standard when marrying a daughter-in-law, who can afford it?
Some distant relatives of the Xiao family felt jealous and couldn't help but make sarcastic remarks to provoke Zhao Yuyuan to cause trouble.
"Yuyuan, your mother-in-law is really biased. I remember your betrothal gift back then was nothing compared to this one, right?"
Zhao Yuyuan wanted to roll her eyes after hearing this, but luckily her mother-in-law had made everything clear to her early on.
If someone doesn't explain things clearly, who knows how much trouble it will cause.
This cousin is probably too embarrassed to be seen by others, right?
Look at how sour the words are!
Her betrothal gift at that time was also the first of its kind in their circle, okay?
How come it becomes nothing in this person's mouth?
At your age, why do you still like to stir up trouble?
If it weren't for the happy occasion, everyone would have scolded this old woman.
Her future sister-in-law deserves the best, and she would not have any objection even if her mother-in-law gave her more, let alone that her mother-in-law did not give her anything.
Without this future brother or sister, would Zhao Yuyuan be where she is today?
How can a person do something ungrateful?
Besides, the money in my mother-in-law's hands is her own. She can give it to whoever she wants. It is not our turn as younger generations to have any say, right?
"Aunt, aren't you trying to sow discord between us, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, and the sisters-in-law?
You may not know this, but my mother-in-law prepared almost the same betrothal gifts for our two daughters-in-law.
The extra assets here are Xiaoyu's own personal assets and have nothing to do with my mother-in-law. Next time, please don't say such misleading things!"
"I wish mother-in-law would give me more betrothal gifts. If Xiao Guo'er is happy, maybe I can marry her home sooner! I really hope that Xiao Guo'er can get married sooner."
I'm really impressed by this cousin's aunt. She can't even handle her own family affairs, yet she has the time to meddle in other people's affairs every day?
"Just say you're stupid! Even so, how can a country girl like this compare to you? You must make more noise while you're pregnant so that your mother can give you more of her property!"
This cousin's grandmother has a hard life at home. She has conflicts with her daughters-in-law every day and has never had a peaceful day.
I both envy and hate harmonious families like the Xiao family. Whenever I encounter such a family, I always try to sow discord.
It has broken up several families, which is quite unusual.
"Aunt, I see you're not here for a wedding banquet, you're here to cause trouble, right? If that's the case, you're not welcome here!"
We can’t let this old woman with a bad conscience ruin my younger brother and Xiao Guoer’s engagement ceremony.
Not only is he mean, he also looks down on others!
Xiaoguoer is better than her in every way, okay?
Song Ya heard every word of their conversation from beginning to end.
She had a cold face, not wanting to give any face, and her voice was like frost:
"Cousin, I invited Lingling, not you, right? Before we left, you insisted on coming, and repeatedly promised not to cause any trouble. I generously let you come, and now you do this to me? If you do this again, I'll have someone send you back immediately!"
Lingling is the old woman's daughter-in-law. She acted like a spoiled brat and snatched the invitation away.
If I hadn't been in a hurry to leave, I wouldn't have let her come!
The old woman knew that Song Ya could do what she said, so she was so scared that she quickly shut her mouth and dared not say anything.
But those triangular eyes concealed deep viciousness.
When the betrothal gift was announced, Li Guoer and Xiao Tianyu were called by the photographer to pose for a number of intimate photos.
At this moment, the two of them are welcoming guests at the restaurant door!
However, Li Guoer's spiritual sense firmly covered the entire farm, and any movement around her could not escape her eyes.
Of course, she heard clearly the old woman's provocative words.
She even caught the viciousness hidden in his eyes.
There's something wrong with this person? So what?
She didn't take it too seriously. Weirdos are everywhere! What kind of waves could an old woman like this really cause?
However, he did manage to keep a close eye on the old woman to prevent her from ruining his engagement party.
"What are you thinking about? Why are you so absent-minded?" Xiao Tianyu raised his hand and waved it in front of her eyes, asking in confusion.
"Ah, oh! I wasn't thinking anything! I just found something interesting!" Li Guoer came back to her senses and smiled like a flower.
"By the way, you gave me all your assets as a betrothal gift. Will my uncle and aunt have any objections?"
He gave away everything else, and even gave away shares in the Song family company!
Would my aunt agree? Would Uncle Song have no objection?
"What opinions can they have? These are my things, so I naturally have the right to dispose of them!" Xiao Tianyu explained.
"As an outsider, I'm taking these shares, so your uncle won't have any objections?"
After all, the company belongs to the Song family, and these shares are also distributed to blood relatives!
