She was simply curious about where he got so much money in such a short time.
As a result, Sheng Yi looked proud and raised his chin.
"The money my grandfather saved up for my wife, how about that, you didn't expect that, did you?"
Zhu Qinghao was genuinely surprised; upon hearing that the money came from Old Master Sheng, she immediately wanted to return it.
Sheng Yi was even faster; as soon as she saw her hand move, he immediately pressed it down.
"Keep it. Grandpa is willing to give it to you. Even if I ask him for it, he might not be willing to give it to me."
Besides, this is the bride price, it's what you should receive. Our marriage was already quite unfair to you... if you don't take the bride price, I'll feel utterly ashamed."
After saying "I wish you a pleasant listening experience," she finally accepted the money.
"Okay, I'll keep it. After the wedding, I'll be a rich woman soon."
This was true. After the other members of the Zhu family heard that Zhu Qinghao had brought all the things she had been keeping for them, they all asked for their own things.
However, he wasn't really trying to get the things back; he just wanted to find his own treasures to give to Zhu Qing as part of her dowry.
Even though Zhu Qinghao frankly stated that she was not short of money or possessions, and even had hidden many things from the Zhu family that they could not take with them, they still insisted on giving them to her, and threatened to turn hostile if she did not accept them.
Finally, having no other choice, she returned home with her money overflowing.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Yi added with a smile:
"It's okay, you'll have more."
Meeting Zhu Qinghao's questioning gaze, he explained:
“We have quite a few treasures in our family. Grandpa and Grandma hid them away. The old man said they’re all for you. We grown men don’t need those things.”
"They're just not easy to move; they're all still in the old house. Next time we have a chance to go back to Beijing, you can put them away and hide them in your precious storage space, where no one can take them away."
He whispered the last two sentences close to her ear, his breath tickling Zhu Qinghao's ear, cheek, and neck.
It made her neck feel tingly and numb, and she subconsciously turned her head away, but unexpectedly she put her face directly on his lips.
Yes, it's on.
Just as Zhu Qinghao realized the problem and was about to turn around, Sheng Yi quickly pressed her head down.
"Don't hide, this is my dear friend who came to me herself and asked me to kiss her."
Zhu Qinghao clearly didn't mean it, but Sheng Yi accused her of throwing herself into his arms, making her blush with embarrassment. She then stomped hard on his foot.
"Ah—perfect for murdering your husband..."
Time flies when people have expectations and things to do.
Before we knew it, it was the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month.
Zhu Qinghao braved the cold and got up early, dressed herself up beautifully, and even put on a bright red cotton coat.
She's going to get her marriage certificate with Zhengyi.
To ensure that all procedures could be completed on this chosen auspicious day, Sheng Yi had inquired with the photo studio and the civil affairs department in advance.
Only after making sure they were all at work that day did he stop dragging Zhu Qinghao to take care of these things ahead of time.
The letter of introduction had been prepared a few days ago with the help of the brigade leader, so Sheng Yi came to pick her up early in the morning to get their marriage certificate.
