After that, Dong chatted with those gossips about some unimportant things. Bagui, who was lying not far away, got tired of listening and wanted to stand up and leave. Just as he was about to take off his hat, an old voice reached his ears.
Bagui subconsciously covered his face with his hat.
He pricked up his ears and listened carefully to what the elderly woman said.
"Hey... I'm saying, if we want to exchange gifts, how much gift money does the man usually give to the woman these days?"
Is she the mother of Village Chief Xu?
When the village women heard Grandma Xu talking about etiquette, they immediately surrounded her and started gossiping.
Li asked excitedly, "Grandma, is Village Chief Xu getting married? Isn't it to that ugly girl?"
Mrs. Dong interrupted immediately: "How could it be an ugly girl? The ugly girl's future husband should be the young and promising Master Kang."
"Do you really think Mr. Kang would fall for an ugly girl? He was just talking, but you took him seriously. I think Village Chief Xu is the one who can be trusted.
Grandma Xu, do you think what I said is right?"
Mrs. Li held Grandma Xu's hand affectionately and made a face at Mrs. Dong.
Compared to the cheerful women present, Grandma Xu had a dark expression on her face. She whispered in extreme dissatisfaction, "I also hope that my daughter-in-law is an ugly girl. It's just that my son is blind. He actually fell for that jinx. He really makes me die of anger."
Hearing the words "jinx", the village women cried out in surprise.
"What? Grandma Xu, you said the daughter-in-law your family is going to marry is a jinx?"
"Grandma Xu, you should try to persuade Village Chief Xu. That unlucky girl will bring bad luck to your family. How can you marry her?"
"That's right. Hasn't Jinxing always lived in Bagui's house? How did she fall in love with Lichang Xu?"
As soon as Luo Cuicui finished saying this, everyone looked at Grandma Xu with strange expressions.
Granny Xu knew that an ugly bride would eventually have to meet the father-in-law, so she wasn't afraid to speak frankly: "How do I know how these two fell in love with each other? Anyway, this time the rice has been cooked, and our family is definitely going to marry that unlucky star."
“…”
The village women stopped talking and looked at Grandma Xu with sympathy. After all, Village Chief Xu was different from Bagui.
Village Chief Xu is a relatively upright person in Guangming Village, and he often works for the welfare of the villagers. No one wants to see Village Chief Xu with such a person.
Granny Xu understood the mentality of these women, and she pretended to be open-minded and said, "It's okay. I came to you just to ask for your advice. In a situation like this, how much do you think I should give the woman as a gift?"
"Grandma, this woman named Jinxing has a very unclear background, and she came to us on her own initiative. I think we should forget about the gift money. It's a good thing that Village Chief Xu is willing to accept her."
"That's right, you still want a gift? It's good enough that someone wants it."
Grandma Xu was waiting for these people's attitude, because she had never planned to give Feng Qiaoer a gift, so even if it was embarrassing, she had to tell the matter to the village gossips. That way, if Feng Qiaoer quarreled with her about this in the future, who would help this jinx?
With these gossips and grandmas as her strong backing, Grandma Xu walked back home with full confidence.
Who would have thought that as soon as she got home, Grandma Xu saw Feng Qiaoer sneaking into her room?
Grandma Xu immediately scolded her, "What are you doing in my room, woman? Are you trying to steal something from me?"
