To be honest, He Jiawei is extremely satisfied with his daughter-in-law Song Hewei.
Although Song Hewei does nothing at home, she is beautiful, educated, and has a job.
Most importantly, she gives ten yuan to He Jiawei's parents every month.
Tell me, they have already given you the money, what else do you want to ask for?
Meng Guilan is also extremely satisfied with her daughter-in-law!
But now Song Weizi wants a dowry of as much as three hundred yuan.
You should know that the standard bride price in Lianhua Village is generally 38 yuan, 66 yuan, and 88 yuan if you are polite.
Three hundred yuan exceeded the standard by so much, and Meng Guilan was not stupid, so she naturally refused.
She immediately turned hostile and snatched the wine glass from Song Weizi's hand.
"What are you drinking? I'd rather feed the food in my house to pigs than give it to you to drink.
We don’t have three hundred yuan. If it really doesn’t work, just take her back. We can’t afford such a precious daughter-in-law!
By the way, didn’t Xiaowei go to Beijing? Why didn’t she come back with you?
Oh, oh, oh! I get it! It turns out that you guys had already discussed this and teamed up to defraud our family of money!"
After saying that, Meng Guilan didn't listen to Song Weizi and others' explanation, she picked up a broom and drove them out.
Naturally, there was no more good wine and delicious food to eat.
Of course, Zhao Xudong and Liu Tianqi were kicked out along with Song Weizhi.
Song Weizi again shouted that he would report to the police.
Zhao Xudong glared at him angrily: "Why report it? Didn't you hear what Captain Mai said just now? Now the country advocates free love, and parents' arranged marriages are not popular. Even if you report it to the police, it will be useless!"
Liu Tianqi also scolded Song Weizhi: "Brother-in-law, don't forget the purpose of our trip. It's important to do business and don't offend anyone!"
Song Weizhi's momentum suddenly weakened by eight degrees, and he murmured, "Then I can't let my daughter go to the other party for nothing, right?"
"Then don't ask for too much. When did the standard of betrothal gifts in Beijing become 300? I haven't heard of it."
Even if he got the betrothal gift, Liu Tianqi wouldn't get a penny.
As the saying goes, if it doesn't concern you, just stay out of it.
Liu Tianqi didn't want this matter to ruin his dream of getting rich.
Because he had just learned from the villagers that Song Hewei was currently working at the Lotus Factory and was a director.
Then, as an uncle, it would be easy for him to get the goods from his niece.
Maybe the price can be lowered a bit.
Liu Tianqi couldn't help getting excited just thinking about this.
Therefore, Liu Tianqi did not want to offend Song Hewei, as he still wanted to rely on this niece to make a fortune.
Zhao Xudong had similar thoughts.
Between Song Hewei and Song Weizhi, they both chose to help Song Hewei without hesitation.
So, the two of them tried their best to persuade Song Weizhi to stop.
Song Weizhi thought that he could make a lot of money from his daughter in the future.
The three hundred yuan dowry could probably be earned back by selling a few sewing machines, so she just thought it through and stopped making a fuss.
They even naively thought that Song Hewei came to Beijing to find them, but just happened to miss them.
Now that they were already here, Zhao Xudong and his friends decided to wait for Song Hewei to come back in the village and to find out about the situation at the Lotus Factory.
Coincidentally, Mai Xiangdong called Mai Sui and learned that Song Hewei and the others had already set out to return.
Therefore, Song Weizhi and his friends were arranged to live in Meng Guilan's house.
There's nothing we can do, since he's his relative.
Seeing that Song Weizhi no longer mentioned the issue of the bride price, and also for Mai Xiangdong's sake, Meng Guilan finally nodded in agreement.
However, Zhao Xudong and his team’s request to visit the Lotus Factory was rejected.
Mai Juncai is the security director of the factory. In order to prevent people from stealing things or causing malicious damage, he specially recruited four or five strong men from the village.
Patrol the area around the factory 24 hours a day and don't allow anyone to approach.
Zhao Xudong and his group are outsiders, so they are naturally the focus of prevention.
Almost as soon as they approached the factory, they were driven away by Mai Juncai's men.
Not to mention that they wanted to buy Lotus brand sewing machines privately, which was simply impossible!
I can’t even ask!
If you ask, you will be severely warned not to spread rumors!
Because all the goods from their Lotus Factory are handed over to the Xiangxi Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and have absolutely nothing to do with the black market!
This is the unanimous statement we all make to the outside world.
Moreover, the business matters are under the charge of Mai Lao San, and no one else is responsible.
After all, speculation and profiteering is against the rules, and no one else knew about it except Mai Xiangbei and a few core management members.
The villagers who work in the factory and their families will naturally stand up to defend the factory's reputation.
Zhao Xudong and the others had no choice but to wait patiently for Song Hewei to come back.
Three days later, Mai Laosan, Chen Jiushan and Song Hewei finally came back.
Song Hewei went home carrying lots of gifts, but when she saw Song Weizhiz as soon as she entered the house, she was stunned.
Her first reaction was not joy, but to ask the other party with vigilance: "Dad, why are you here?"
Song Weizhi wanted to act like a father, and snorted coldly: "You still know that I am your father, and you didn't even tell your family in advance about such a big thing as getting married!"
Hearing this, Song Hewei said calmly, "Let me tell you, are you going to give me a dowry? If so, then just give me three hundred!"
When Song Weizi heard the number three hundred, his expression became a little embarrassed.
Meng Guilan laughed out loud and immediately said to Song Hewei:
"Xiao Wei, your dad asked for 300 yuan as a gift. It's not that mom is stingy, but you know the situation at home, I..."
Before Meng Guilan could finish her words, Song Hewei interrupted her directly:
"Mom, look at what you're saying. Jiawei and I have already received our marriage certificate, so why do we need a dowry?
Besides, I didn't bring any dowry, so I couldn't accept the gift."
As she spoke, Song Hewei handed all the gifts in her hand to Meng Guilan: "Mom, I bought these especially for you and Dad, take them."
Song Hewei's words were soothing and she did a great job, so Meng Guilan felt comfortable immediately.
Song Weizhi was watching from the side and was about to get angry, but Liu Tianqi heard the noise outside and immediately ran out of the room.
As soon as he saw Song Hewei, he said enthusiastically: "Hewei, you are finally back. Uncle has been waiting for you for many days!"
Zhao Xudong also came out, but it was the first time he met Song Hewei and they didn't know each other, so he stood aside and didn't say anything.
As soon as Song Hewei saw Liu Tianqi, she immediately understood the purpose of his appearance here.
So, he said first: "I'm so sorry, I'm on a business trip to Beijing with our factory director."
Afterwards, Song Hewei told everyone that the “Lotus Factory Beijing Representative” was Fu Bowen.
"Our factory director said that from now on, all business in Beijing will be handed over to my uncle Fu Bowen. No one else is allowed to interfere!"
Liu Tianqi saw that there was no share of such a big pie, and his face immediately fell:
"He Wei, I'm your uncle too, you can't favor one over the other!"
