Chapter 559 I'm Not Heartless
But Chen Jianguo and his brothers were still secretly astonished: these two items together would cost at least two hundred yuan!
Marrying a city girl is such an expensive affair!
Zhao Mei's daughters-in-law inevitably felt a little envious, but they didn't think it was unfair, since it wasn't their parents-in-law who gave them the money.
Moreover, with such a generous dowry, if the fourth son's bride price is too low, wouldn't he become a live-in son-in-law?!
The Lu family elders were also somewhat surprised, after all, they knew about the Chen family's situation.
Apart from their daughter who works in a department store and Chen Jianjun, who has just become a factory worker, the Chen family has been farmers for generations.
Moreover, this brick house was newly built, and a lot of money was spent on furniture, so I thought we didn't have much savings.
However, this did make them feel that the Chen family valued their daughter, and they were even more satisfied.
So they continued to discuss other matters related to the wedding, and finally set the wedding date for a month later.
With the important matter settled, Ma Xiulian finally felt relieved and turned to Chen Jianjun: "Fourth brother, take Xiaofen for a walk around the village."
Meanwhile, a group of children couldn't sit still any longer and all ran out to play.
Chen Jianjun nodded, got up, and led Lu Xiaofen outside.
He was a man of few words but many actions; when asked to wander around, he really just took his fiancée and drove around the village.
Lu Xiaofen was a little shy and reserved at this moment, so she walked quietly with him in the village.
As I walked, I heard a group of women sitting on a large rock at the entrance of the village gossiping.
"It's really a tragedy for my baby. His own mother fed him milk when he was just a month old. He was fed milk by his aunt and raised by his grandfather. When he encountered a bear, his father and uncles abandoned him, and he almost died in the bear's mouth."
"That's right!"
"This person is so pitiful, unloved by both parents!"
Lu Xiaofen was taken aback when she heard this. She had seen that her daughter was chubby, lively and cheerful. When she was sick and hospitalized, the old couple and Chen Jianjun took great care of her. She thought that the little girl had always been spoiled and pampered.
But then I thought, if Zhen Guaibao's parents really liked her, they wouldn't have given her to Chen Jianjun to adopt!
Even if this person is your own brother, you still can't bear to part with him!
Then I heard a group of women say, "We finally got to live a few good days after being adopted by Chen Laosi, and now he's getting married again! Once he has his own child, he'll definitely look down on his niece, Guabao!"
"Who says otherwise! The Du family in the next commune is just like that. They only have one son! His biological mother died in childbirth, and his biological father remarried. After his younger brother was born, he was so cruel to his first son! He was always hungry and so thin! It's a tragedy!"
"If that stepmother from the city is also heartless, then my precious child will be like a cabbage in the field..."
Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaofen suddenly shouted, "I'm not heartless!"
She would never mistreat her precious child!
Chen Jianjun looked at her with surprise.
Comrade Lu Xiaofen always spoke softly and gently in front of him, and he had never heard her say a harsh word. He thought that was just her personality.
But unexpectedly, even a rabbit will bite when cornered.
Hearing the sound, a group of women turned around and saw Chen Jianjun with a cold expression. Seeing that they had been caught talking badly about someone behind their back, they immediately looked a little guilty and said, "Oh dear, I have to go back and do laundry."
"I also need to go to the fields."
The group quickly slipped away.
