Although Xu Mingshan and Liu Guifang were very satisfied in their hearts, they still pretended to be angry.

Several people sat in the main room to negotiate.

"Uncle, I want to discuss something with you. Today's incident is not just my problem. I am willing to compensate Xu Meiling for her losses of one hundred yuan and keep it a secret. I will never make it public. What do you think?" Chen Jianghe said straight to the point.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Can you bully my daughter whenever you want?" Xu Mingshan didn't expect that the other party was still thinking of defaulting on his debt, so he slammed the table hard, scaring Chen Jianghe.

Chen Jianghe mustered up his courage and held up two fingers: "Two hundred yuan at most, this is all the money I have, give it all to Meiling, this money is her dowry, we have no feelings for each other, and we won't be happy together, she can find a better family in the future."

After hearing this, Xu Mingshan and Liu Guifang were silent for a moment, but it was only a moment of hesitation.

They can still distinguish between one two hundred yuan bill and many two hundred yuan bills.

If Meiling married a farmer from the countryside, two hundred yuan would be the maximum for the bride price, because many people could not save that much money in their lifetime.

But Chen Jianghe can easily get 200 yuan, and his family is rich. If I marry him, I can have many 200 yuan. Isn't this better?

"Who are you looking down on! Can my daughter's innocence be bought with money?

In a word, marry her or get shot, it's your choice!" Xu Mingshan said sternly with a dark face.

"Okay! It was you who insisted on getting married, so don't regret it later!"

Chen Jianghe knew that he couldn't escape today, so he could only accept his fate and agree. He was very unhappy with the coercion from Xu Mingshan and Xu Meiling.

Xu Meiling wants to marry him and live a good life, but that's impossible. She will suffer in the future!

Xu Meiling didn't know that the hatred in her heart had poisoned her, and she was still immersed in beautiful fantasies about the future.

Next, let’s talk about the details of marriage.

It was Liu Guifang's turn to play the bad role.

"Normally, the wedding should be hosted by the man's family, but you are in a special situation now, so just pick a good day and hold a simple wedding in the countryside!

First, get the marriage certificate, and then set up a few tables to liven up the party.

It will be inconvenient for you to live in the educated youth camp after you get married, so you might as well build a new house before the weather freezes over. It doesn’t need to be too big, just enough to live in, and it can be done quickly.

You will stay here with us for the time being.

By the way, I also want a betrothal gift, just two hundred yuan as a token of my appreciation." The last sentence is the key.

Liu Guifang acted as if Chen Jianghe had taken great advantage of her, which made Chen Jianghe so angry that he laughed.

It seems that they want both money and money, nothing less! What a good plan!

When a girl in the village gets married, the betrothal gift is usually just a few yuan, and a hundred yuan is the maximum.

I gave him two hundred yuan before, that was for compensation, there was no other way.

She is a country girl, dark, ugly and fat, yet she has the nerve to ask for 200 yuan. It's really too much.

"Xu Meiling is eager to marry me, but I don't want to marry her at all. I can't pay a penny for the betrothal gift. It's up to you to marry her or not!" You still have a temper. This family is really too greedy.

Chen Jianghe stood up and prepared to leave.

Xu Meiling quickly grabbed his arm and said, "Brother Jiang He, my mother didn't mean anything else. Don't be angry. Isn't it okay if I don't want the betrothal gift?"

Xu Mingshan and Liu Guifang almost vomited blood. This young lady was no longer acceptable. Not only did she look like a pig, but she was also as stupid as a pig.

In the end, according to Chen Jianghe's wishes, no betrothal gift was asked, but the woman would not give a dowry either.

Chen Jianghe had to pay for their wedding and new home himself, and he reluctantly agreed.

That's how it was settled.

The next morning, the news that Chen Jianghe and Xu Meiling were going to get married spread throughout Xujiatun.

Naturally, this news was spread by Liu Guifang himself.

It was hard not to hear news about the Xu family every day, and each piece was more explosive than the last, providing countless gossips for the men and women of Xujiatun.

The slicked-back young man Chen Jianghe and the fat and round country girl Xu Meiling are from completely different worlds.

In the past, Xu Meiling chased after me, and everyone just watched it for fun. They never thought that she could really succeed, but things happened so unexpectedly.

Liu Guifang personally invited everyone to come to her house for a drink in a few days, how could this be false?

The whole village was guessing what made Chen Jianghe unwilling to marry Xu Meiling.

At this time, the one who wanted to know the reason the most was Jiang Xue.

She got up early in the morning and specially steamed a bowl of egg custard for Chen Jianghe. As soon as she took it out of the pot, she heard the words of several educated youth in the yard.

"Great news! I just went to return something and heard from Aunt Wang that Comrade Chen Jianghe and Comrade Xu Meiling are getting married soon. Is this true?"

"What? That's impossible. How could Chen Jianghe be interested in Xu Meiling?"

"Yes."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Jiang Xue shouted, standing at the kitchen door with her hands on her hips.

"I'm not talking nonsense. Aunt Wang said that the secretary's wife told her this herself, and she also asked everyone to come to her house for a drink in two days."

Jiang Xue's heart was in turmoil. She couldn't believe it, yet was afraid it might come true.

While waiting for the egg soup to cool down, the other educated youths all went out to work, and Chen Jianghe got up with a gloomy face to wash up.

He couldn't sleep in the first half of last night, worrying about how to tell his family about this, and he couldn't resist the sleepiness until the second half of the night and fell asleep.

His parents had warned him many times not to look for a rural girl and not to start a family in the village. In the past two years, they helped him to return to the city and get married after returning.

He was thinking about Gu Qinghuan in his heart. He didn't even like Jiang Xue, so why would he marry a country girl? Naturally, he didn't take it to heart.

I didn't expect that now he really found a country girl, his family would definitely scold him to death.

"Chen Jianghe, are you really going to marry Xu Meiling?" Jiang Xue couldn't understand why Chen Jianghe wanted to marry Xu Meiling now even though he had clearly disliked her before.

When Chen Jianghe saw that Jiang Xue already knew about it, he felt a little embarrassed and apologetic.

Jiang Xue was very good to him. He had thought before that he might as well give Jiang Xue a chance. His heart had softened, and all he needed was an opportunity. In two days, they could break through this layer of window paper and officially talk about the object.

I didn't expect this to happen now.

However, he did not intend to tell Jiang Xue the truth. First, it would damage his own image, and second, he did not want to expose the matter and let others catch him in the act.

"Um."

"Why? You obviously don't like her! Why her? I'm not as good as Gu Qinghuan in admitting it, but Xu Meiling, on what basis does she?" Jiang Xue felt sick after hearing his affirmation and yelled hysterically.
